BTTF 2018: MLB123746 (2 Viewers)

My crappy team so far:

2B L Kolten Wong
CF R Tommy Pham
1B L Brandon Belt
3B R Anthony Rendon
C R Willson Contreras
SS L Brandon Crawford

Really strong on OBP and not terrible on power. I even have a guy who runs fast in Pham which is rare for me. Corner OF isn't a bad thing to not have filled at this point and I can probably do that by committee.

SP Max Scherzer
SP Danny Salazar
SP Tanner Roark
SP J.A. Happ
SP Jakob Junis

A decent mix of inning eaters and upside but I never feel good about my staff. A lot depends on Danny Salazar which is not an encouraging thing to type.

If that team is “crappy” I’m going back to my usual 70 win bttf season 

 
I came here to kick ### and draft Asdrubal Cabrera or Kyle Gibson, and well.....

12.11 Aaron Hicks, OF NYY

CF-ish, OBP-ish, speed-ish... just not sure how much he'll play

12.13  Jonathan Lucroy C without a team

I figure somebody has to sign him based on the quality of catchers who are left :shrug:

ETA:  drafted at 3.16 last year so there's that

we're getting to the part of the draft where these unsigned guys can really mess things up

 
Don't want to feel left out

CA - Buster Posey

1B - Miguel Cabrera

2B - Dustin Pedroia

3B - Zack Cozart

CF - Ender Inciarte

RF - David Peralta

SP - Corey Kluber

SP - David Price

SP - Julio Teheran

SP - Michael Wacha

RP - Craig Kimbrel

When Cabrera and Pedroia and Price revert to their 2014 form you guys are fu ked

And then traded for RPs drafted in rounds 32 and 40. :thumbup:

I hit on a lot of picks last year, that was not one of them.

 
C Chris Iannetta (COORS)
1B Edwin Encarnacion
2B/3B Asdrubal Cabrera
1B/2B/3B Matt Carpenter
OF/2B/3B/SS Marwin Gonzalez
OF Mookie Betts
OF Mitch Haniger

I have no idea what kind of fielding ratings and at what positions some of these guys will have.  Could be huge, could be devastating.

SP Luis Severino
SP Michael Fulmer
SP Alex Wood
SP Mike Leake
SP Mike Minor

Reasonably happy with 1-4.  Possibly going for higher risk/higher reward guys with the rest, like I did last year snagging Berrios/Severino.

What’s going to be really interesting is if none of them play SS. 

 
SS Lindor - S
1B Freeman - L
RF Hoskins - R
3B Shaw - L
LF someone awesome
CF Hicks - S
C Zunino - R
2B Gennett - L

SP1 Castillo
SP2 Anderson
SP3 Morton
SP4 Mikolas
SP5 Kuhl

SPs are a little bit unpredictable and unproven. Candidate to lead the league in HRs and HRs allowed.

Going with no CF I see.  It's a bit unorthodox, but I like it.

 
I'm uncharacteristically happy with my team so far.  I don't think I've even been remotely sniped on anybody since round #1.

C    Lucroy                
1B                    
2B    Moncada                
3B    Bryant                
SS    Bogaerts                
OF    Cespedes, Puig, Calhoun        
                    
SP    C.Martinez, S.Gray, Gausman, Musgrove, Mengden

Too right handed but I never worry about that in this format.  Hopefully one of the OFs will have good enough ratings to play CF.  Plenty of 1B talent available.

They'd definitely be a fun team to follow in real life.

 
right now;

gardner, lf 

piscotty, rf 

murphy, 2b

suarez, 3b

gregorius, ss

adam jones, cf

sal perez, c

1b

sale, samardija, lynn, estrada

no real offensive stars, though murphy was a sim monster.  just some solid PAs all having a chance for 20+ hrs.

no matter, this is all about Pitching.....

 
C - two slugs TBD

1b Yuli Guriel - hits the ball really hard and hardly ever strikes out

2b - Whit Merrifield - I picked him up on waivers in a head to head league last year and he brought be great happiness. If he's 80% of his offense and remains a plus defender, I'm satisfied.

SS - Carlos Correa - so young. so big and strong

3B Bregman - Very toolsy and savvy. but also has some god-kissed attributes that cannot be taught. He and Correa can carry this entire team. 

RF - Justin Upton - I keep believing he's not as good as he proves to me most every year. Finally, I'll bite

CF - George Springer - CF , WS MVP seems in a different zone now.

LF - tbd

SP - Luke Weaver - rolling the dice hoping he's studly

SP - Dilson Lamet - Should get me lots of innings

SP - Clevinger -maybe talent, maybe innings, maybe one or neither

SP - Davies - Lots of low quality innings

SP -Urena - more mediocre innings

SP/RP -Alex Reyes - All that talent and such a layoff. Maybe a Brad Peacock type year, starting in the pen and advancing to a starting role around the break? Maybe he'll suck, tho

I hoping to score enough on offense that a pitching staff with a 5.08 ERA wins a lot of games. I plan on not getting effed by fatigue this season

 
C

1B-Belanger

2B-Altuve

SS-Anderson

3B-Chapman

OF-Martinez,Benintendi,Kiermaier,Braun ,

Castellanos

Plenty of offense. Oodles of offense. What’s the record for runs scored in this league? What’s the record for runs given up?

 
I'm currently exchanging texts with someone who may or may not be Eephus.  I'm gonna send him a pic of some old saggy boobs to see if it's really him.
