Nice job. It will look much nicer in a few weeks when you can move Gyorko to MI and bench Nakaima.
Re: How's this Main Event team look?
The offense looks a bit short to me.
decent job overall though. If things break right for you it could be a very solid team.

I'll post one too... Let me know what you think.... Really like it if my bench outfielders can come back from injury quickly or Taveras gets called up soon... Not great at baseball so I will take any feedback..

Re: How's this Main Event team look?
Good team, Strasburg/Tulo/A Gon/Encarnacion/Kipnis/Freeman... In whatever order is a very nice beginning, and adding speed in Pagan and Crisp is nice as well. I might have taken an outfielder, if I were you, instead of your 3rd first basemen. Your pitching has a lot of upside as well. My team followed much of the same strategy, but I took a few injured guys. I like your team, especially your starting pitching, better than mine, and I will be low on BA, My OF is obviously better... Very nice.. good luck! Here is mine:Coots wrote:I'll post one too... Let me know what you think....

Your outfield is very good once Grandy gets back... I see you started the same way with first two picks.. You have good balance other than BA which you stated.. I like your team...
I never thought that Freeman would make it back in 6th round and at that point I couldn't pass on him.. If I would of known I would have done exactly as you stated and taking an outfielder instead of Encarnacion... If the young guys come back soon my outfield could still be good.. Just holding the spots for them is going to be the tricky part....

Re: How's this Main Event team look?
What you didn't tell everyone is that this is a 14 team league, not a 15 team league. It makes a difference.Coots wrote:I'll post one too... Let me know what you think....

Re: How's this Main Event team look?
Yes it is a 14 Team ME league.... Makes a very smaill difference I think between the leagues that I have done with 15 teams... This was my first 14 team league.....
Pitching went extremely early in this league and just continued to go early.. Maybe the one extra pick makes a bigger difference than I thought but targets I found to be almost the exact same.... Sorry if I miss led anyone....
Was just looking for feedback, not usually a baseball guy.. Tried it last year and found out its alot harder than it seems...

Re: How's this Main Event team look?
I didnt know they offered 14 team leagues? Is this part of the Classic?
Re: How's this Main Event team look?
Big difference if this is a FBPC 14 team league. Not the same competiton. Mine is 15 team.

I personally like the 15 teamer better, and the competition is quite different with over 3x the teams in NFBC.

The rules are different, too. Even so, your team looks pretty good.Coots wrote:Yes it is a 14 Team ME league.... Makes a very smaill difference I think between the leagues that I have done with 15 teams... This was my first 14 team league.....

Re: How's this Main Event team look?
Likewhat17...I agree with Gromek. Offense looks light. This illustrates the problem with taking a SB guy like Reyes early (presumably round 2). He really doesn't guarantee this team to win SB (de Aza only other reliable SB guy here, although Harper, G-Schmidt, and maybe Young can add some depending on his PT) but he creates a problem by choosing him instead of a HR/RBI guy..
I like your investment in younger players/rookies, but I also think you might be relying on too many unproven players on both offense and pitching.
Find a 3rd RP for saves. Soriano has 2 very good RP in his pen that could replace him if he struggles.
