Greg/Tom,



Just wondering how many new sat. owners there are this year. I've been in 3 or 4 leagues so far and I have really noticed that pitching seems to be going a lot quicker than normal...just seeing if the trend is due to new owners or just a draft change. Could be coincidence on my end and not really happening, but I see teams selecting 3-4 pitchers in first 8 rounds. (Many in rd 3 followed by another in round 4.)



Could make the main event interesting if the trend keeps up there also. I know my first year I reached for some pitching and realized I would be better off if I had waited. May have to adjust on the fly this year.

poopy- check # of pitchers selected in first 5- 8 rounds in your draft and check adp from 2006 that is posted- i think you will be surprised

I'll have to go back and check. I was really surprised with owners loading up on 1-2 punch, plus a closer within first 5-7 rounds of drafts. One league had 3 owners with 3 picthers after 5 rounds. It may be normal, just surprised me. the pitchers were "ace" caliber, so it's not like they didn't belong, just surprised at teams grabbing more than one "ace" that early.

Early pitching is why I am the lowest lifetime ranked player....

Sheep, not far behind and while I can't blame Sheets and Peavy entirely, they didn't help as early picks!
