right? It's an interesting strategy... if 1/2 - 2/3 of those guys pan out, and all come up right around the same time, his team could be dominant for 2-4 years.I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert... -

I was hoping a few other guys would slide down to me but, but I'm happy for the most part. There were about 5 or 10 guys I could have taken at pick 18, still some good prospects left.Originally posted by Mendoza_Line View Post---------------------------------------------

I did a soft rebuild, holding all the major league guys I thought were already at good value and young, while jettison off the overpriced pieces. With picks 2, 9, 10, 23 I didnt go as farm crazy as much as Scissors but positioned myself with JP Crawford, Trea Turner, M Conforto, Aaron Judge, all hitters we will see next year while holding or acquiring the young studs like J Upton and M Stanton, or a $1 Daniel Norris, $5 Vogt. We are in a strange league shape, 16 tm mixed with 5 bench, 8 farm is pretty shallow when comping it to my standard 12 tm single, so I am not sure how that will play out with future inflation and the bell curve of where the bucks should go relative to what is fungible to keepable.Comment

The draft is getting more interesting after the first round. Trevor Story and AJ Reed were guys not on my radar, and all the recent draftees/signees are sort of wildcards. When I made my deal with Diablo I was looking at Hoffman/Mondesi/Williams, and they all went within a few picks, Hoffman right before my pick. Wish I had a few more rookie spots, still some guys out there I'd really like to draft. Nola getting promoted, not sure if that helps me or not...---------------------------------------------

A little embarrassed, but both him and Story I needed to look up who they were. I can see why they got picked...Originally posted by eldiablo505---------------------------------------------

I recognized the name, but had no idea about him. Not playing fantasy baseball in 5 years has it's disadvantages. Reed was apparently college player of the year ? Much like Brett Phillips he tore it up at LancasterOriginally posted by eldiablo505---------------------------------------------

From my old league the guy I remember being most surprised by was Votto. If I remember correctly he was good, but fairly old and not ranked that hi on the lists. Below is what Baseball America said in 2005Originally posted by eldiablo505
Weaknesses: Votto�s average bat speed prompted one scout to compare him to Brian Daubach. He can be patient to a fault, passing on pitches he can drive. Outside the batter�s box, he�s still raw as a baserunner and defender.
The Future: While Votto�s upside is debatable, scouts agree he�s a polished hitter who could rush through the minors. Sean Casey�s contract has a club option for 2006, so Votto is a rare Reds prospect who could be pushed. He�ll start this year back at high Class A, where he ended 2004.---------------------------------------------
