darin3 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) I just drafted my 2nd team today and I'm VERY happy. C: LoDuca 1B: Ortiz 2B: Utley 3B: Wright SS: Tejada CI: Casey MI: Young OF: Sheffield OF: Patterson OF: Damon OF: Giles OF: Crisp Util: Castilla Bench: Sanchez, Walker, Grissom SPs: Mussina, Perez (Pit), Pettitte, Arroyo, Rogers RPs: Cordero, Baez, Takatsu, Gordon, Gonzalez, Worrell Perfect balance of big bats, speed and average. Decent pitching staff, but championships are won with OFFENSE, on the waiver wire, and through trades. I figure I'll pick up some solid SPs through the course of the season. Edit: Picked 5th, and passed on Soriano for Tejada. I think the O's are gonna score a gripload of runs. I have Tejada down for 35/140 hitting .300. I got Young super cheap, and have SS/MI covered. Tough spots to fill. I panicked a bit in a middle round and grabbed LoDuca. Was trying to figure out a good middle-of-the-road SP, and nearly ran out of time. I think LoDuca will settle in with the new team and could easily hit 25/100 with a solid average. I love Patterson, and quite frankly, my entire OF. Got Giles cheap. I think Casey, if healthy, can be huge. Utley and Wright will have to live up to expectations, or I'll hit the wire.

Looked like he had an outside chance of taking the job, but he's better suited to starting, and with Prior and Wood hurting, he will have to start. Add in the fact that Borowski has been lights-out this spring. Better look elsewhere. DeJesus could be a nice surprise, but you gotta be patient. I hope he's not a starter. Ditto on Atkins. He'll need a few months to get up to speed. I love Zambrano and The Unit. Burnitz is gonna kill your AVG. Rios could potentially break out with Delgado gone. Pretty good team, especially if 12-team league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Boroski being terrible I am hoping on a change during the season. I don't know why but this site is just 100 times better than the 10th Inning.

Skrappy1 Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) Are you happy with your starting pitching in team 1?.If Mulder gets back to form you should be set.I like Perez a lot too..742930[/snapback] I am fairly happy with my pitching. I really like my bats on that team, and I also really like Perez a lot. I owned him in two leagues last year and he was a stud...the only place he lacks is the wins category because of his team, but everywhere else he was pretty much as good as any pitcher not named Santana or Johnson. There are definitely some questions with Brown and Pinerio, but I think I have enough sleepers there to get what I need out of my starters, and my bullpen should be pretty dangerous too I think. Plus you can always scavenge a solid SP or two during the year off the waiver wire if you pay attention. A healthy Bonds gives you a great outfield in team 2 Yeah, but it's going to suck for a month or so until Bonds and Berkman return. If both can come back healthy, I'll be smiling for the second half. I only have one more pick to make in that draft, and I really need some more pitching on that team. Once the season begins I should be able to DL Bonds and Berkman for a little while and pick a couple of pitchers off the wire, our benches aren't that deep in that league so there should still be some mid-level quality there, that's why I went so heavy on the bats. I'll also probably dump Nick Johnson, I like the kid a lot, but I really don't have use for him...that pick was just a case of my personal preferences of a player getting the best of my drafting decision.

He's been hitting off a tee, and he was given clearance to start running last week. As long as there's no setbacks it shouldn't be too long.

I drafted him very late in my draft yesterday and then read that he was dropped by the Tigers and picked up by the D-Rays. Because Crawford is not going to move from the lead-off spot, Sanchez is probably going to bat at the end of the order. Not good. FYI. Your first team is a monster though. Pujols and Ichiro will be nice anchors. Solid pitching. Your second team could be big in the 2nd half... with Berkman and Bonds hurting. Solid 1-2 punch with Sheets & Huddy, though. Good luck.

Reed SP - Schilling SP - Smoltz RP - K Rod RP - BJ Ryan P - Tsao P - Borowski P - Fatolo Colon Bench - Wells Bench - Wade Miller Bench - Noah Lowry Team 2 (15 team 6x6 (OPS and L) roto) C - VMart 1B - Konerko 2B - Roberts 3B - Figgins SS - Young OF - Cabrera OF - Giles OF - Burnitz Util - Overbay Bench - J. Reed Bench - Ensberg Bench - C. Monroe SP - Schmidt SP - Radke SP - Maddux RP - Nathan RP - Borowski P - Rincon P - Linebrink P - Brazoban Bench - Lowry Bench - Wade Miller Bench Eric Milton I'm happy with Team 1 as of right now, but I will need a little luck on the injury side in order for my pitching to pan out (i.e. I need Schil and Miller to spend as little time on DL as possible). My offense there is stacked, in my opinion - I expect big things from Rowand and Crisp - only chink in the armor I see is Kendall. Team 2 - I've never been in a 15 team league before, so it's hard for me to tell how I made out. Being used to 10 and 12 team leagues, Team 2 looks flat out pathetic to me - lack of power and speed on O, no Ks outside of Schmidt as far as pitching goes. As you may have guessed, I really like Jeremy Reed and Noah Lowry - if they both have strong years, I could be in even better shape. My hand was somewhat forced with Borowski, but he appears to be back in 2003 form from what I'm reading - could be a pleasant surprise. W/r/t Team 1, I plan to grab some MRs to shore up my ratios once I am able to move Miller (and possibly Schilling) to the DL - I'm big on playing MRs as much as possible.
