At the Quarter Pole

We're pretty much 25% through the season. How's you're team doing? What did you get right? Wrong?

I'm relatively pleased so far; some good teams, some bad teams that i know have no shot already.

Biggest Mistake:Two leagues where I drafted 2nd and ended up with Hanley and Adam Dunn in the 3rd. Disasters.

Biggest Hits: Jered Weaver has been good value, but Zobrist has been the best multiple-league draft pick. Also, Loshe was a lucky first week pickup in FAAB.

Interesting Fact: I have two Main Event teams. The only players I drafted on both teams were Jon Niese and Mark Trumbo, Yet, as of today's standings, they have the exact same number of points (tied for 27th overall).

just did reprojections last weekend. although in 80's point range with most of my teams, no major regrets. been lucky with missing the major injuries, however have Crawford and Hanley on some important teams. thankfull I had 3rd pick in diamond, not 2nd, so have Miggy instead of Hanley.

Wins: have Joyce, Hafner and Piniero on almost every team, and Lowrey, A. Soriano and M. Izturis on many.

Losses: heavy on Casilla, J. Lopez, Stewart, Tejada, S. Rod , also Benoit and R.Soriano - all dropped by now

I thought it was inteteresting to see your teams with the exact total overall. I tried PM you, but I couldn't get it to work.

As to the teams, the better one (I think ) is trending down while the worse one is moving up. Not exactly the ideal scenario, but could be worse

Good thread.

My teams have been pretty middling so far, mostly in the 60's and 70's in points (12 team leagues only). My biggest strategy failure was focusing too much on pitching in the draft. I had some nice hits on the SP front, which has actually caused me to go too low in some of my ratio categories. I could have abandoned one of those starters early for more solid bats.

Biggest misses - Casilla (on wayyyy too many teams), Torii Hunter, Carlos Pena

Biggest hits - Weaver, Farnsworth, Scherzer, Adam Jones
