Ok this being my first NFBC draft and in fact my FIRST fantasy baseball draft as well.
i am looking like dead money, but i have been very successful in fantasy football and just wanted to give it a try in baseball.
please let me have it. i know this team is not complete and is going to need help in hrs, rbi, wins, ks and saves.
with all that said i think this team has potential and will compete for the championship when all is said and done.
this was one of their double online leagues: 12 teams 5x5 roto. scoring
3rd pick of draft
1st - 5rd:
a rod
j ellsbury
j. reyes (injury is a concern, but i still believe worth the expense) would rather have drafted in the 4th. wouldn't have been there.
d. haren
k. morales
i really wanted j. rollins or r. halladay in the second round but both were drafted.
i probably should have drafted greinke, but it didn't seem like we were setup for a pitcher run so i waited
greinke wasn't drafted untill the 4.1 so i thought he got nice value.
i like my first 5 rounds but was really disappointed in not getting rollins. rollins is setup for a monster year. i would have preferred a better starter.
6th - 15:
c. figgins
m. rivera
h. kendrick
c. billingsley
j. pierre
r. porcello
v. guerrero
m. prado
aj pierzynski
j. danks
c. hart
wow that is an interesting group of players. some are so early i would have said thats a joke, but hear me out.
i totally missed out on the sp run and closer run and was already looking for hrs. players i had targeted for certain rounds were getting drafted 2-3 rounds early and some players so early i didn't even think they would be drafted until the late teens or 20 something.
i will admit with this being my 1st draft i stopped looking at adp and just simply looked at how i ranked my players (in fantasy football i would probably get killed doing this).
i did think i would be able to get some better outfielders late in the draft and missed out on a backup ss/mi for reyes while i wait for him to come back.
rounds 17 - 30:
c hart
c coughlan
j rivera
c iannetta
p hughes
m buehrle
k wood (i know dl but there wasn't a closer left and i was hoping to at least get madson but he was long gone)
j rauch
m thornton
m byrd
e encarnacion
j francouer
l valbuena (i totally couldn't find a ss backup so i had to take the best player i had listed with ss avail)
d bard
g zaun
the draft was very nice and i think interesting to say the least. adp was totally thrown out of wack from what i have seen. pitchers went way earlier then i was expecting(starting round 5 they just ran like crazy)
baseball roto style seems very interesting with more strategy involved. do you want to be heavy in the hrs and rbi or do you want to go with ave, runs and sb. i know a good average is probably better.
in pitching do you concentrate on wins and k or do you select era, saves and whip.
for those experienced please let me know where i totally hit a homerun and where i need to work on.
we don't have trading so i can't look at getting some power by giving up the sb and average.
all in all i still think my team has potential and will compete with some nice faab work.
what do you all think?
