Skrappy1 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) Good Luck fellow Huddlers.... 752599[/snapback] Likewise. 16-teams is new to me too, but I think it's actually kind of cool...it means you have to have a little deeper knowledge of players and makes picking good sleepers a lot more important too. Should be fun. Edit to add: Edited March 27, 2005 by Skrappy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marauders11 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I assume an "enter draft room" link or something similar will appear about 30 minutes prior to starting? Can'tr wait to see what pick I get with 16 teams I'm not sure where I'd prefer to be- probably someplace in the middle to assure a STUD in round #1 and another in round 2- With the first few picks you are into the 30's be the time it comes back around- I don't think I like that!

BeachBum Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 This should be interesting- like I said I never did the "live" Yahoo draft thing- hope it goes well.....16 teams is way more than I'm used to also- I am in a 10 & 12 teamer but that's the limit for me so far.... Good Luck fellow Huddlers.... 752599[/snapback] The Yahoo draft goes very quickly! You have to pay attention, especuially if there are absentee drafters, then it flies. You have to find the guy you want from their list (it is your list if you changed theirs). You can pull several names from the list in advance making it easier to pick when your time is on. You'll get entry instructions on the League site (I think?) when there are about 10 minutes to go. They'll have the draft order then too.

Skrappy1 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) I also noticed it said on the page that the draft order should be set about a half hour prior to start time, so that should be in about 15 minutes.

Then it gets tough. I'd agree on the 7th or 8th spot as pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeachBum Posted March 27, 2005 Author Share Posted March 27, 2005 BTW, last year we had open trading, even among our group! So, after the draft if you have any glaring holes, let us know, we;ll try to move some guys around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrappy1 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) Here's my team and my thoughts on it: C - Jason Varitek 1B - Derek Lee 2B - Mark Bellhorn 3B - Morgan Ensberg SS - Derek Jeter LF - Carlos Lee CF - Jim Edmonds RF - Gary Sheffield UT - Dimitri Young UT - Eric Byrnes BN - Craig Biggio BN - Frank Thomas BN - Jeff Francis SP - A.J. Burnett SP - Freddy Garcia SP - Cliff Lee SP - Danny Haren RP - B.J. Ryan RP - LaTroy Hawkins P - Juan Rincon P - Scott Shields The Good: My OF: For a 16-team league, Carlos Lee, Jim Edmonds and Gary Sheffield should be rock solid. Good AVG, HR, great OPS and a touch of speed mixed in. My RP: Hopefully Hawkins can maintain the closer job in Chicago, even if not he should put up great stats in the ERA, WHIP and K categories, and if he doesn't get saves he'll get holds. Rincon and Shields are two of the better middle-relief guys because of their ratios and amount of innings pitched. I'm counting on them to make up for my less than stellar SP by stabilizing my ERA, WHIP and K rate as well as adding some well needed holds. The Bad: Left-side of my IF: Mark Bellhorn,and Morgan Ensberg are less than awe-inspiring. Bellhorn should actually put up decent numbers besides AVG, if I get the 2004 version of Bellhorn and the 2003 version of Ensberg, then I'm all set. If I get either the 2004 version of Ensberg or the 2003 version of Bellhorn, then I'm really in need of serious help here. The Questions: My SP: A.J. Burnett should be excellent as long as he stays healthy, and Garcia is decent if unspectacular. After that, I've got nothing but sleepers and question marks. Cliff Lee was great the first half of last year, atrocious the second half. Danny Haren is very talented but still unproven and moving to the harder hitting AL, and Jeff Francis is also extremely talented but essentially a rookie and pitching in the thin-ass air of Colorado. Once I'm able to DL Frank Thomas, guess what position I will fill his roster space with? You guessed it, another SP. Craig Biggio: If he ends up playing 2B as he has most of the spring, then the left-side of my IF looks a little better. If he only remains OF eligible, then he very well may not be worth a roster spot at this point. Edited March 27, 2005 by Skrappy1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
