I think you see that a lot in leagues where people are fairly knowledgeable. Hell, it's not as if the experts agree on everything and we all have blind spots, too.

For my drafting, I have 3 different ranking lists printed out like a checklist that I'm going down with each pick so I see if there are any outliers that have dropped a lot (Soriano dropped a lot in this league, for instance, relative to lists). Then, before making a pick, I have it narrowed down to a couple of guys in my mind and I go at comparing them various places- projections, previous stats, etc. And there's always gut feel involved. I think lists are also need to be adjusted for this league as, for instance, SBs and SVs are only 1 of 7 category now rather than 1 of 5 so they aren't as valuable as they would be in a traditional 5x5 league.
