NFBC Rookie squad

Post by Ricky Vaughn » Tue Mar 22, 2011 12:09 pm

Finally after many year of being on the fence I sacked up and decide to try out NFBC. Took part in a $125 top 3 league last week picking from the 2 hole this it what I came up.



C Ryan Doumit

C Ryan Hanigan

1B Paul Konerko

2B Martin Prado

SS Hanley Ramirez

3B Jose Bautista

CI James Loney

MI Mike Aviles

UT Vlad Guerrero

OF Justin Upton

OF BJ Upton

OF Jose Tabata

OF Colby Rasmus

OFAlex Gordon



P Edwin Jackson

P Edison Volquez

P James Shields

P Brett Anderson

P Jonathan Sanchez

P Kyle McClellan

P Alexi Ogando

P Brandon League

P Chris Perez



R Seth Smith

R Daric barton

R Alexi Casilla

R Johnny Cueto

R Michael Pineda

R Andrew Cashner

R Marz Rzepczysnki





The plan was to load up on bats and wait on SP, and target high K guys. Obviously I'm going to have WHIP and maybe ERA problems. The biggest weakness I can see is the bullpen I was on the wrong end of 2 closer runs and scrapped together what I could.



In round 10 I grabbed Chris Perez and 2 picks later Vlad was still sitting there and that seemed like too good of a bat to pass up for rd 11 so I took him in hind sight I should have grabbed another closer Street-Valverde-Thorton.



Any thoughts or opinions for this NFBC rookie would be great.

Any thoughts or opinions for this NFBC rookie would be great. Nice job- especially for a rookie. I think your main mistake was not quite getting the depth at starting pitching you might want for that strategy. You mention Vladi being great value there and I agree. He just might not have been value you can afford. Replace him with a Lilly or Hudson and I would be even more impressed. Overall though IMO that team has a chance to fight for a money finish.

Welcome aboard RV!



I was in your draft down at the other end at #15. I thought you had a strong draft and have definitely put yourself in a position to get in the money.



I agree that a true ace would have looked really nice on this squad - but I do like some of your speculative SP's. I actually have a thread at the Mastersball Forums about my team in this league - so if you want to get some additional feedback - I invite you to come over and post it on this thread as well. I will probably be tracking my team throughout the season here - so I invite you to join me.

I was in the draft as well and I wouldn't mind joining the conversation.
