Yes...we just had our drafts this weekend...
For what it's worth, I'd like to know how the 'pen thinks I did in an AL only 5x5 9 team league (we lost 1 owner this year). K/9 used instead of K.
I went in with the following keepers: Miggy-39, Andrus-10, Beckham-10, Hamilton-23, Elsbury-15, NCruz-30, Liriano-9, Valverde-18, Benoit-2. And my draft strategy was to buy big power early and then sit until there were $1 opportunities since we were down to 9 owners. Maybe not the best strategy, but I wanted to try it.
First purchase was Longoria for 40, then came Kinsler at 27 and Victor Martinez for 24. At this point, only after about 7-10 players, I was down to $13 for 11 spots, 6 pitching slots.
So, 3 buys in, my offense is VMart, Miggy, Longoria, Andrus, Kinsler, Beckham, Hamilton, Elsbury and Cruz. Very strong, very balanced and high average to offset what may be lower BA players picked up to fill my last 5 hitting slots.
So, I sat for most of the auction...tossed out a Phil Coke and got him for 1, tossed out Derek Holland, got him for 1 and eventually spent 3 on Scott Baker and was down to $1 bids with 8 spots.
In any case, I did miss out on some pitching bargains, but, you live with your decisions. Regardless, these were my final 8 $1 players:
Alex Avila - good back-up for V-Mart
Eric Hosmer - couldn't let him go to reserve/minors, would pick up reserve to fill in
Juan Rivera
Michael Saunders
Travis Hafner
Jason Frasor
Grant Balfour
JP Howell
For my reserves, I picked up Luke Scott, Ivan Nova, Joba, Tommy Hunter, Lastings Milledge, Bobby Jenks, Andrew Brackman and Casey Kotchman
SOOOOOO, what say you pen members?????
