Markakis goes in the sixth next year, Francoeur goes in the third.



Dye goes in the 13th, J Upton goes in the eighth.



Beltran goes in the fourth, CYoung goes in the first



Renteria goes in the 12th, Pedroia goes in the seventh.



Peavy goes in the fifth, Verlander goes in the third.



Helton goes in the 15th, Conor Jackson goes in the eighth.

Helton goes in the 15th, Conor Jackson goes in the eighth. only way helton goes that low is if he's hurt or somehow gets pushed down the lineup next year. people are missing the boat on helton this year.

[/QUOTE]A barking back and he hits 2nd by the middle of the year. Great for the Rockies, but fantasy numbers take the hit.

Great for the Rockies, but fantasy numbers take the hit. if he's healthy (like with all players)...i'll have no problem taking him in the top 10 rounds next year. even if he hits 2nd next year (which i doubt), he'll trade some rbi's for some runs. same BA, same hr, same colorado. still the same player, just with a slightly different piece to the overall puzzle.

negative on these. Francoeur will never get there hitting that low in the lineup. to date, his stats look good because of all the at bats, not his skill level.



marjajis will still hold up well for next year, unless trembley dies and the running game goes out the window.

I don't think so. His numbers will look very close to Freddy Sanchez, who is available at 15 a lot. I want more punch from a corner.

I want more punch from a corner. as long as helton gets me 15+, i'm fine. i can draft around that. sanchez will never hit that many hr or have that high an avg or have as many runs if helton hits 2nd.



get over your man crush of sanchez!!! he's not that good, esp since he's always hurt and getting checked by mr andrews!!!

I had a funny feeling (bad funny) re: Chone this year.



Is anyone concerned with his 1 SB 3 CS so far?

~Lance Not a concern, one of the cs I saw was actually getting picked. He doesen't have much to prove in that regard, less wear and tear.

~Lance Lance... which players have the most SB's this spring?



A: Guys that have to prove themselves.



Velez, gathright, Gomez, Posednik, Ambercrombie



Never worry about proven talent in the spring.

Helton goes in the 15th, Conor Jackson goes in the eighth. Markakis was my 'underperformer' in the Gekko contest so I don't disagree. Francouer improves this year, but I'm not sure it's that much. He is a .280 guy with 30 HR and no speed, I think. Agree completely on Dye, Beltran, Pedroia, Verlander, Jackson.



I don't know if Peavy falls that far. He won't be as good as last year, but it's not going to be 2006 again either. I liked Helton this year where he was going, but it was more for the lack of guys after him. Loney was going in around the same spot and I'm not crazy about him. Renteria will be buried next year.



Chris Young will have to get the batting average up. I like him to do it, but one thing that worries me is that his highest average in a month last year was .253. He was consistently bad rather than having a Kouzmanoff type year. I think Upton will do a lot of adjusting this year. I love his potential but not right away.

Hart in the 1st, Manny Ramirez in the 6th.

Burnett in the 4th, Oswalt in the 12th

Pie in the 8th, Homer Bailey undrafted

BJOAK....Francouer is going to swipe 10++ SB's this season with his lack of speed.



Here's my "round trade" guys:



Derrek Lee and Ryan Garko



Todd Helton and Mike Jacobs



Ryan Zimmerman and Kevin Kouzmanoff



Chone Figgins and Alex Gordon



Julio Lugo and Yuniesky Betancourt



Aaron Rowand and Franklin Gutierrez



Geovany Soto and Carlos Ruiz



Brady Penny and Clayton Kershaw



Phil Hughes and Ian Kennedy



Rich Hill and Carlos Marmol

I wonder if their has ever been an NL 5 or 6 hole hitter taken in the 1st round of any draft in the history of baseball? I guess if Greg goes with the 70 team lg concept it's possible.

Burnett in the 7th? Oh my!



Patrick - I can see why u don't like helton. Your main event team has a real shot at hitting in the 260's!

Sorry, last post was aimed for you, Brian.

I doubt he's half assing his steal attempts.



~Lance

I doubt he's half assing his steal attempts.Half-assing it on the bases shall henceforth be known as choning* it on the bases.



*The ch is pronounced like the Ch in Chuck.



Example: The A's lost because Emil Brown was choning it on the bases.

Unless you're Vin Scully, then it's "SHANEing".

Since I don't have the Main Event ADP (GREG!!! )...I'll go off my league and predict these guys flip flop rounds taken in 2009.



Cole Hamels and Rich Harden

Andrew Jones and Garret Anderson

Dan Haren and Brett Myers

Adrian Beltre and Kevin Kouzmanoff

F-Rod and Mariano Rivera

Victor Martinez and Joe Mauer

Juan Pierre and Michael Bourne



These players will go undrafted in 2009 NFBC Main...(swan song year)



Trevor Hoffman

Eric Gagne

Nomar Garciaparra

Jason Schmidt
