Evaluating 2006...sort of!

[Edwards Kings]

Since I am doing so well (again), I was looking at my draft and draft strategy (i.e. was that a wise move at that time). I thought I would toss this one up for the folks.



Was I crazy in the 7th round (94th player) to take Glaus? So far he has 524 AB, an expected .252 BA, 36 HR, 102 R, 100 RBI, 3SB. My first six picks were Tex, AmRam, Carlos Lee, J. Lugo, BJ Ryan, J. Schmidt.



The other players that went before my next pick were:



Burrell Pat

Blalock Hank

Roberts Brian

Webb Brandon

Mora Melvin

Lackey John

Valverde Jose

Gomes Jonny

Edmonds Jim

Beltre Adrian

Myers Brett

Benitez Armando

Gonzalez Mike

Thome Jim

Cano Robinson

Gordon Tom

Polanco Placido

Freel Ryan

Iguchi Tadahito

Patterson John

Guardado Eddie

Jones Todd



Thoughts? Hindsite is dangerous, but based on what we all thought we knew in March, was Glaus in the 7th worth the risk to BA?

Wayne,

You might find the NY2 draft results of particular interest because the owner with pick #94 (not me) also selected Troy Glaus. Following your lead, here were the players selected before Team 04 in NY2 selected again in round 8.



Torii Hunter

Derrick Turnbow

Curt Schilling

John Patterson

Andy Pettitte

Brian Roberts (my pick)

Randy Winn

John Lackey

Brett Myers

Chipper Jones

Jason Giambi

Oliver Perez

A.J. Burnett

Pat Burrell

Trevor Hoffman

Mark Loretta

Mark Buehrle (my pick - what happened?!)

Barry Zito

Brad Wilkerson

Francisco Cordero

Noah Lowry

Jason Varitek



Kevin
