By the way, this is the first left-handed player I've drafted so far. Debated after 10 rounds to go the whole draft right-handed just for the shtick, but couldn't say no to Choo.

I have a lineup. And I really like it. Although I probably won't actually use it much since Kim and Gattis aren't full-time players and there's that small matter of playing out the 2017 season.
1. LF Hyun-Soo Kim
2. 1B Brandon Belt
3. 3B Nolan Arenado
4. SS Trevor Story
5. CF Jackie Bradley Jr.
6. 2B Neil Walker
7. RF Curtis Granderson
8. C Evan Gattis
1. LF Hyun-Soo Kim

Got a full batting card now ... let's see what it looks like:
SS Turner, Trea (R)
3B Solarte, Yangervis (S)
1B Gonzalez, Adrian (L)
RF Cruz, Nelson (R)
LF Stephen Piscotty (R)
2B Schimpf, Ryan (L)
CF Cain, Lorenzo (R)
CA Vogt, Stephen (L)
Lorenzo Cain could lead off or hit second if he has a season resembling his 2015 (.307/.361/.477). Turner could end up anywhere from 1-3 should he approach expectations. I had Solarte last season in WIS, and he batted anywhere from 2nd to 7th -- a lot will depend on whether or not he can approach his 2016 stats (.286/.341/.467).

1. CF Odubel Herrera
2. 3B Martin Prado
3. 1B Edwin Encarnacion
4. RF Yoenis Cespedes
5. LF Hunter Renfroe
6. CA Willson Contreras
7. 2B Jonathan Schoop
8. SS Marcus Semien
Pleased, though not ecstatic... if Prado can get another .350+ OBP and (have even a little range unlike last year) I like it a lot more. Renfroe is perhaps the biggest upside vs. downside. Should have table setters at the top of the order for the three sliggers... Contreras is a decent all around bat and then two low OBP guys with 25+ HR potential at the bottom.
SP1 Jake Arrietta
SP2 Kyle Hendricks
SP3 Jared Eickhorn
SP4 Adam Conley
SP5 R.A. Dickey
Pretty happy with this as I went offense heavy after picking the two front line starters 1-2. Jared is my biggest swing, with health always a key. Need Arrietta to get back on track and Hendricks to not regress too much, but can't complain about 2 potential aces, a highish upside younger guy at 3, a young guy who is his team's (kinda crappy, admittedly) #2 as a #4 with some upside and then an old knuckleballer to hopefully compile enough innings to get me through the rotation.

Thanks for posting rodg. I was very surprised Gardner was still there. He's not a big power guy, but is consistently a good OBP guy and pretty consistent both with the bat and health-wise.

maybe lineup:
melky
pence
yelich
bryant
morales
gregorius
phillips
perez
with encarnacion gone the Jay GM stated Morales could see a good deal of time at 1b, maybe that helps him get better than a D/D-, but i'll take the chance at this point for a 5 hitter.

I am so horrible at drafting offense, I usually end up in the bottom 5 in offense every year. I tried to font few things different this year and I am wondering if any of you experienced might let me know if I did ok.
lineup: (last years stats)
1. Andrus SS (.360 OBP, 24 SB, B,A+ def)
2. Forsythe 2B (.333 OBP, 20 HR)
3. Triut CF (He's Mike F-ing Trout)
4. Santana 1B (.259/.366/.498, 34 HR)
5. Gomez LF (hoping the Texas stats carry over to this year, great defense)
6. Lamb 3B (.249/.332/.509, 29 HR)
7. Castillo C (.264/.22/.423, 14 HR)
8. Gardner RF (.261/.351/.362)
All are pretty healthy and consistent. Gomez is the wild-card. His stint in Texas was great. If he can't revert to his great 2014 form I think I should be pretty solid. What do you guys think? I would love to have an offense that was just average!

I like a lot of what you did including Gomez as your wild card, but Elvis Andrus had a .309 OBP in 2015 before a 50 point BABIP spike last season. Long story short, he's not going to have a .360 OBP again (ever).

Andrés has had an OBP over ,340 3 other times in a fulll season in his career. So, while he might not put up a .350 again, I would be happy with a ,340. And honestly, even if he doesn't, he still offers defense and speed. I could always him and Gardner in the 1 and 8 slots.
Thanks fir the input, I appreciate it!

I like Gardner better in the 2 spot than Forsythe -- better OBP and fewer strikeouts, plus gets you a lefty bat high in the order. Putting Trout at #2 is very tempting, as well ... and some owners here would be happy to have him bat leadoff.
You need Carlos Gomez to bounce back a lot ... don't know what happened to his bat, but you need it to unhappen. Lamb is a nice piece ... a lefty power bat with some room to improve. Looking at his 2015-16 numbers, it looks like Lamb traded some AVG for SLG -- maybe he can find a middle ground in 2017.
You also want to hope that Carlos Santana has left his 2014-15 stats behind for good -- mucking around in the low .230s will necessitate dropping him down in the order.

I'm currently looking at something like this...
1. Dansby Swanson, SS
2. Andrew Benintendi, LF
3. Miguel Cabrera, 1B
4. Domingo Santana, RF
5. Alex Bregman, 3B
6. Tyler Naquin, CF
7. Starlin Castro, 2B
8. Mike Zunino, C
SP1 Justin Verlander
SP2 Marcus Stroman
SP3 Jon Gray
SP4 Mike Foltynewicz
SP5 CC Sabathia
CL Roberto Osuna
Man, went younger than I thought on offense. Need some breakouts! I really like Swanson, Benintendi and Bregman to be good though. Probably should have gotten a more established CF than Naquin, though, looking back on things.
