As I spend less and less time on fantasy baseball (new dad, side business, full time job, wife) I worry I am not prepared every spring.
I am in a 20 team league with the guys @ askrotoman.com (haven't been there for a while ...). These guys know baseball, at least I think so. They also draft really early - as in tonight we drafted.
No keepers - standard Yahoo stats and format - but with a FAAB process and there are 20 owners. Talent gets spread with 20 owners. No Position played limit or IP limit.
Anyhow, this is the team I just drafted. I had the 8th pick. It was agreed that Kemp getting to me was wrong. But hey, I took it happily. (one pick was made by a guy who enjoys a "theme" draft style - but still, Kemp!)
Here is my squad. I'd love folks to rip it apart and tell me what I need to build on.
C J.P. Arencibia (bad BA - next guy takes care of that)
1B Ike Davis (looking for 25HR 80RBI .280 i'd be happy)
2B Aaron Hill (looked good in ARI)
3B Aramis Ramirez (steady as she goes)
SS Elvis Andrus (love the line up and speed)
OF Matt Kemp (duh pick)
OF Carlos Beltran (hoping for 25/80/.275)
OF Coco Crisp (speed speed speed)
Util Derrek Lee (sorta has a job. safe 20/70)
BN Justin Morneau (gamble)
BN Travis Snider (gamble (I need to stop taking))
SP Felix Hernandez (mm, yea - good)
SP Justin Masterson (seems to have harnessed his "stuff" - even if it is 3rd starter stuff
RP Sergio Santos (I like him a lot in TOR +Ks)
RP Jonny Venters (MR strategy + Ks)
P Aaron Crow (he starts - yay! if not, decent MR - K/IP)
P Antonio Bastardo (MR strategy - or Palps implodes +Ks)
P Colby Lewis (Ks, Ws)
BN Mark Buehrle (another steady as she goes. Now gets to pitch to pitchers. Went late)
BN Bartolo Colon (4.00/1.30 in NYY - OAK should be ok .. + Ks)
I know I am short on saves.
Thoughts?
