Man, that was a rough draft for me.

First, my sly plan of picking Chase Utley 7th overall gets thwarted. Then Pagal leaves with his wishes of another Jiggy_12 outburst, and about 2 minutes later I draft Liriano who I find out is gone for the year. BAH!

I like my team, alot of really young pitchers who are high reward. Of course the downside to that is if they don't work I'm shallow when it comes to pitching with a bunch of mediocre pitchers and no true ace...we'll see how this plays out.

Flickered Flame · 03-26-2007, 10:14 AM

Yeah I feel like my pitching is very good. I have 4 or 5 starters that could win 15+games each and thats not counting Harden who could be a great pick if he stays healthy.

Offensively, I am not so happy with my picks. I don't have one big home run guy, unless Beltran belts out 45+dingers. My infield is solid but more solid contact type hitters and the outfield is Beltran, Alou, and Matthews.

The thing I hate most about my team is that I draft 5 Angels, the team I hate the most.

Can't say I'm too happy with my team - I think taking Ortiz with my first pick cast a shadow over my whole draft. I had psyched myself up for taking Manny at 11 (the only Sox I can stand) but couldn't pass on Ortiz.
It seemed like some weird picks were happening in the early rounds and completely took me out of my strategy. Oh well, there's always the waiver pickups!!

I hope that my gambles pay off... especially in my pitching. Pedro, Gagne, and AJ... If they can pull everything together, should work out good for me. Not too sure about my infield, but I'm happy with my outfield of Jones, Wells, and Bonds. Getting Pujols isn't too shabby either. I don't think I'll be in last this year fellas.

As for my team (BlueJayyfan), like others I took gambles as well. With my first pick I took Mr Stolen Base...Reyes. If he has another solid year he should be a great pick. My second pick I took Mauer, this guy was awesome last season.

I also took three young guys with my really late picks I believe thats the area which makes or breaks a team.

My teams weakness this year could be pitching. As hitting should be really strong.

The draft was a blast thanks for organizing this !

I need at least two of my young bats (Kendrick, Markakis, and Duncan)
to step up to have a chance. That and I need my two closers to stay healthy and keep their jobs. And it looks like I will also have to do some waiver wire work to help out my pitching.

OILFAN #81 · 03-26-2007, 02:16 PM

Pitching seems to be my strongpoint.

SP:
Halladay
Zito
Kenny Rogers
Buehrle
Penny
Loaiza
Meche
Livan Hernandez
Wolf
Byrd

RP:
Isringhausen
Todd Jones

C - Ivan Rodriguez
1B - Jeff Kent
2B- Luis Castillo
3B - Eric Chavez
SS - Derek Jeter
OF - Jermaine Dye
OF - Jim Edmonds
OF - Garret Anderson
Util - Pedro Feliz
Util - Kevin Mench
Bench - Marcus Thames

Dye is my power guy and Jeter is batting average guy. I'll probably be looking to trade a pitcher or two for a bat. Let me know if you're interested!

As for trades..... my team "Blue Jays Rule"....are always open to make trades

rubecube · 03-26-2007, 03:45 PM

LOL, its always critical that a person edits his or her draft lists, as there are a pile of players that are on the IR or are gone for the season or are not signed which were on the Yahoo list.

I know that does not help you but it might help yah in the future. I must of removed 40 or 50 players who are high risk guys.

Yeah, I knew when the draft was but I was too hungover to make it to my computer.

Yep, I thought I was going to miss the draft as well (made it back just in time)..... thats why I really like the feature of editing the players (can start to mess around with it way before hand).

I would of hated to get a guy like Josh Towers on my team.....

Crap, I would agree with that..... I am not too sure Mr Clemens will sign with any team........... but I am guessing you must have a player thats out for the season on your team.... or even worse an Oakland player.....

I have someone whom I drafted by mistake...and he is pure garbage IMO and would be happy to lose him for lotto ticket named Clemens.

If you look over my draft history you can probably figure out who it is...one name is very out of place in the middle of my draft.
