NFBC Message Boards

Last March, anyone could have drafted the following team and blown the NFBC away:



Rnd 1 - Lance Berkman (OF)

Rnd 2 - Ian Kinsler (2B)

Rnd 3 - Josh Hamilton (OF)

Rnd 4 - Roy Halladay

Rnd 5 - Tim Lincecum

Rnd 6 - Dustin Pedroia (MI)

Rnd 7 - Joakim Soria

Rnd 8 - Geovanni Soto (C)

Rnd 9 - Stephen Drew (SS)

Rnd 10 - Brian Wilson

Rnd 11 - Nate McLouth (OF)

Rnd 12 - Carlos Gomez (OF)

Rnd 13 - Ervin Santana

Rnd 14 - Aubrey Huff (1B)

Rnd 15 - Melvin Mora (3B)

Rnd 16 - Jorge Cantu (CI)

Rnd 17 - Ryan Doumit (C)

Rnd 18 - Carlos Quentin (OF)

Rnd 19 - Brian Fuentes

Rnd 20 - Cliff Lee

Rnd 21 - Ryan Dempster

Rnd 22 - Edison Volquez

Rnd 23 - Ryan Ludwick (U)



No reserve list needed.



This team would have produced the following stats (thru games of 9/25):



BA - .2962

Runs - 1308

HR - 341

RBIs - 1265

SB - 154

Wins - 115

Saves - 111

ERA - 2.89

WHIP - 1.152

K's - 1414



To build this team, round 1 pick had to have been chosen no sooner than pick 15 in main event, round 2 pick no sooner than 30, round 3 no sooner than 45, etc. Any challengers to post a better team?

Good one. And "we" would have picked that team apart last March.



Not enough power.

Not enough speed.

Too injury prone.

Not enough starting pitching.

Too few saves.



Huff? Cantu? Doumit? Wilson? Lee? Dempster?



Great!
