Very high on the speculative side with Longoria, Bruce, Upton, and Kemp. High risk, high reward.

don't you need a few high risk / high reward types to win? just as long as you have a core of reliable players?

i like it. sure, not everybody's gonna perform like braun did right from jump st, but i'm a believer in guys w/ upside ala longoria, kemp, & bruce. longoria went in 15th in my league so i feel you got great value there. who knows the guy might give ya 1st rd value?! i think bruce & kemp will force their respective managers to play them...there simply better than their comp.

those catchers are flat out awful. Shouldn't even be drafted. That will hurt. I really like the team otherwise though.. a lot of quality picks.

I don't mind his catchers where he got them.

I'm guessing this was a mock. There's no way you're getting the majority of the players where you got them in a real draft.



That's the problem with mocks...if you don't truly have an understanding of the marketplace, you'll be greatly disappointed in the real drafts.

Some of the better players in the NFBC hold out for catchers like these. I don't like them, but I've already seen NFBC vets selecting them in the later rounds.
