Fantasy Impact: Draft Day for Savvy Vets

My fantasy league has it's draft tonight. It's a 10 team, 5X5, H2H on yahoo.com. Categories are Runs, HR, RBI, BA, Steals, W, K, ERA, WHIP and Saves. Each team has 26 roster spots plus 2 DL slots. The positions are C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, IF, 3 OF, 2 Utility, 5 SP, 3 RP, 2 P, 5 Bench. Lineups can be reset daily. 40 moves allowed during the season. It's a keeper league with each team designating 6 keepers, 3 position players and 3 pitchers to keep from the prior year. 6 teams make the playoffs. Winner of the playoffs is winner of the league. It's a small league, but very competitive. You have to know your stuff and be quick on the trigger to survive. The draft is a snake draft with the order determined by Yahoo's randomization.

Savvy Vets is drafting 7'th which means I have the #7, 14 and 27 picks out of the top 30.

My keepers are: Prince Fielder, Justin Upton, Brian McCann, CC Sabathia, Matt Cain and Tommy Hanson.

Here's a list of the top 30 available players by Yahoo rankings:
