Boredom creeps in and the insanity of drafting a SECOND Dynasty team doesn't actually seem so crazy...…
Same concept at the Lockdown Draft, but using 2 Catchers and Avg instead of OBP. 18 teams instead of 20. 10 man reserve rosters and only 20 man minor league squads. Unlike the first time, we drafted MLB players first and then held a second draft for minor leagues. KDS drafts were used for both. I had the 8th pick in the MLB draft and the 13th in the MiL draft.
I went a different direction with this team, try to stay young, but be competitive this and next year so that affected my choices in the ML portion and somewhat in the Mil portion as I went with as many close to the cusp guys as I could find (though I did take some deep dives as value was too hard to pass up. Here are the first 10 rounds and then my entire team:
M Betts
A Rendon
A Mondesi
JD Martinez
J Soler
R Hoskins
Y Darvish
D Lamet
K Yates
Y Puig.
I went heavy hitting first 10 rds, but also grabbed 3 arms whom I believe are solid enough to anchor my staff
My idea was to build an excellent hitting squad and then an outstanding Pen (Saves+Holds) try to nut the rations and saves/holds while finishing mid pack in wins/Ks. I'm a firm believer that starting arms will come out of no where and in this shortened season we'll see a few of the top prospect arms along the way. here's what I ended up with:
Ca. F Mejia
Ca. W Ramos
1b R Hoskins
3b A Rendon
CI R Tellez
2b T LaStella
SS A Mondesi
MI J Peraza
OF M Betts
OF JD Martinez
OF J Soler
OF Y Puig
OF R Braun
Ut I Desmond
Bench: F Galvis, J McCann, J Bauers, R Healy, E Rios
Relevant Minor Leaguers: J Cronenworth
Pitching:
Darvish
Lamet
J James
C Carrasco
K Yates
H Robles
D Bettances
Z Britton
J Castillo
Bench: J Tallion, C Rondon, M Baez, F Valdez, S Yamaguchi
RML-- Casey Mize, Shan McClanahan, Sterling Sharpe
Minor Leaguers: I grabbed Luciano at #13 and Mize on the way back--everyone else is as follows:
in no particular order:
Bats:
M Luciano
A Thomas
G Valera
A Bracho
Tuca Marcano
J Cronenworth
R Quinteros
S Maguire
B Altuve
Y Sanchez
T Ornelas
Arms:
C Mize
S McClanahan
R Weather
J Cantillo
D Espino
D Lynch
A Espinosa
R Lawson
S Sharpe
All in all I'm pretty happy with my crew--any thoughts would be appreciated.
TIA.
