There was nothing wrong with the pick, but it's wasn't the way I had hoped to start my team. In the end, my power was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

7 pitchers in a row to start may win the league possibly but I dont think can win the double play.

Matt, I really liked what you did with your offense, but yeah.. your pitching is way too young and sketchy... I don't see you contending with that rotation.. wins will be a huge issue for you as well

If I had just taken my #1 where i took Lee and taken my 1b where I took my #2 Jurrijens. Then I would have had maybe a Johan-Kershaw 1-2 punch and downgrade at 1b.

Too bad now I just need to hope Kershaw joins the top tier (he is capable) and then I need a few of my upside picks to pan out. It is a lot to ask for...that guy is saying the same thing about his lineup. I bet you he does not win the league even with all those pitching points.

Mauer will go in most drafts from pick 5 to 15, depending on where everyone thinks his value is. I trust Shawn knows what hes doing. With Mauer and Ellsbury, his first 2 picks, he still feels he has more than adequate power. I have found while your first few picks are obviously important, its your mid to late rounders that make the difference between winning and losing.

Schwks · Post by **Schwks** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 5:57 am

Leaving aside position scarcity, if one believes that Mauer's power from 09 was for real, then the difference between him and every player at the C pitcher is clearly bigger than the gap between any other 1st and second player. Plus Mauer is fairly young and still has upside from that fact and the fact that he should get 75-100 more abs this year.

If you believe that the average is for real with that power, he is a top 3 pick. Having a guy with a .360 avg allows you to have 4 Dan Ugglas and still maintain a plus avg.

Any way anybody could post the guy witht he pitchers' full team?

I like that people try new things. I have thought about a strategy similar to this....it is workable to win a league IMO. But you need to focus on either speed or power, not both, with all of your hitters. I think based upon availability, going for speed/runs only, you could guarantee 100 points. I also think another solid sp is needed...better then Petite and perhaps a couple of closers in waiting.

The reason the strategy has a chance is that it allows you to get the top several players at two positions.

matt25112 · Post by **matt25112** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 9:59 am

I understand Dice K's injury situation and command problem and every other problem he has. But still isn't the 26th rd still a little ridic?

matt25112 · Post by **matt25112** » Mon Mar 15, 2010 10:08 am

I think he will not have a chance because while he already was giving up on hitting by not taking any hitters, he also boosted everyone Else's hitting in the league by not drafting hitting. He will dominate pitching but will need a miracle on ice to make it up for it with that lineup. This is my first NFBC draft but from the research I've done, it looks like you need a balanced team to win it. Too bad I couldn't have gotten one. I am the exact opposite of this guy (somebody had to pay for this strategy it was me). I have no pitching. Sticking to my draft strategy sc rewed me I should have adjusted around the 5th-6th rd and got my ace there.

I will bet you Herb my hitting team beats your pitching team...your hitters will tank it...I feel my pitching is better than your hitting
