Nice that you focused on your obvious weakness with your reserve hitters Paul. Looks good.

I'm afraid I might have one too many BA drags on this team...I'm counting on some bouncebacks there obviously.



I'll probably be spending some FAAB money chasing saves over the course of the year too.



Last year was my first year in the Main Event and after suffering a couple injuries I ended up woefully short in the power department. I wanted to make sure that didn't happen this time around.

i didnt have a main event team but i had an auction championship team from friday night. here are the results

I've never seen as creative a work of art as this team I saw in Atlantic City. It's going have to have a method named after it. The drafter definitely had tiger blood. If you attempted to embody his brain for just a couple minutes, you wouldnt be able to take it. You'd want to unplug the bastard. Here it's goes



C- Jesus Montero

C- Hank Conger

1B- Mitch Moreland

2B- Brian Roberts

3B- Brent Morel

SS- Starlin Castro

OF- Chris Young

OF- Alex Gordon

OF- Coghlan

Becch I see 6 bats that will probably not be starting on opening day here. SOLID

I see a Vegas team got:

Sabathia in the 5th

Ethier in the 6th

Morneau in the 7th

Morales in the 9th



Add that to Longoria, Vmart and lester and

WOW!!!!! Looks like morning line favorite so far...

Sorry, writing too quickly. I missed a couple people. 14th spot.

Let me just pretend I bought the team from this guy for $13 and I wanted to fix it. I'd have too many pitchers, so I'd drop a couple there. Green and Kipnis, and maybe even conger he has get rid of immediately. This is not a team that can afford to waiting minor leaguers. So if l be scanning 1Bs, OFs, and catchers, and just drop drop drop. Technically our drop limit is 1000 players,



For now the Texas platoon thing is interesting-



If we learned about Baseball HQ's NFBC team last year, its that FAAB is not optional. It's vital.



How many Mike Napoli injuries is this Team 14 away from possibly fielder at both 1B and DH from Texas together. How many Russel Martin injuries? Those things are arguably more LIKELY than UNLUCKY.



He self-handcuffed beyond comprehension, but let's not go overboard.

i expect to see some stacked teams from that atlantic city league.

After round 4-5 the advantage disappated quickly to where you couldn't really tell a difference. For one, it was a strong league to begin with, with many people bumping heads. So no team jumped out from 1-30 as a "holy **** , this isn't happening" type of team. Partly because Team 14 took quite a few round 5--12 guys that would have otherwise gone to others. So rounds 5-12 were not at all dominated by anyone.

So rounds 5-12 were not at all dominated by anyone. the guy have FIVE players in his STARTING lineup that i wouldn't even draft in 30 rounds. 5 of his STARTERS are zeros. of course that is a big edge to other owners.

He self-handcuffed beyond comprehension, but let's not go overboard. Napoli is only part of the problem. DH is manned by Young. 1B by Moreland. Unless Davis is going to catch, an injury to Napoli wouldn't mean much. Davis really needs TWO injuries to find his way to the lineup consistently. For $13 you better get change.

Not a horrible "keeper" team. Obviously (hopefully) its the guys first draft. Posting his team on multiple threads is not necessary. Chances are it will not affect the big picture. Let it go already.

Owner reached for Andrus in the 4th, he essentially switched the ADP of Andrus and Ethier negating any advantage from the Ethier slip.



Morneau and Morales are potential bargains at 7 and 9 and will likely be the latest either is drafted. Team combined them with at least three Judys in Andrus, Figgins, and Bourn. Does he have enough power to even all 3 out? Might be difficult, even with the big 1B bargains.



Sabathia is good bargain in 5th but he's combined with Lester in the 3rd. These two will face off too many times and only one can win, thus limiting his overall W potential



Sorry to dissect your team, anonymous owner. Still looks pretty good!

2) The NFBC is full of sheep (myself included). It's very rare to see such a drastically abnormal draft. Of course it's going to be discussed on the message boards! I don't see any malicious comments. Consensus is he will struggle but that's why they play the games. Lighten up!

(obviously I know its not a keeper league... duh. Just making an observation) [/QUOTE]I am with you shady- terrible draft but move on.... Go discuss more important things like why a bunch of sharks left an outfielder with 2 bad knees, plays in a bad park, and might well kill your batting avg lost until the 20 something round. Maybe we should have moved him up b/c he was able to run 100 feet today. Sounds like a gem of a pick to me....

chest - i thought you did a pretty good job of putting together your team
