loaf Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 coming up in an hour. I used the sportingnews ranking of 1-300. rotisserie style. Question is: How early do you go catcher? Been told early as there are only a handful that can help your squad... thanks! 12 teams... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balzac Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Hard to say when to start looking at catchers b/c someone else might start a run on them very early and your hand can be forced. I'd say 4th round would be a good time to take Pudge or V-Mart - I wouldn't go any earlier than that. Also, don't get forced into taking a 2nd rate C before you need to. Once the top 4 or so are gone, you can wait until the later rounds and just load up at other positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted April 2, 2005 Author Share Posted April 2, 2005 I took Kendall in the 11th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 sounds right - I took him with the 142nd pick in one draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seminoles Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I'll just randomly but in here. i took j. muerer (sp?) in the 10 round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Mauer will be solid so long as he plays. I'm not sure what the story is with his knee, but I can't see it holding up the whole year. That said, he should be worth the 10th round pick if he nets 450 AB - that dude can rake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godtomsatan Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 Depends on what kind of league you're in, but I'm kind of a fan of picking up a platoon if you can't get one of the elites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe some question marks in the outfiels but if C Lee and Winn have good years you are good to go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loaf Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 Blake'll be outfield eligible once the season starts too...I am really worried about HRs, RBIs and Saves...oh well, it was only 10 bucks...I really shoulda looked into some draft strategies...I just winged it...

10,000th User Posted April 4, 2005 Share Posted April 4, 2005 From the title of your thread, I thought you were already planning your draft strategy for 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
