the value of a round
Posted: Sun Nov 19, 2006 9:04 pm
Here is an interesting question:
In the mock I was frustrated in the 5-6 rounds because it seemed all the premiere pitchers were taken. Now getting in the latter half of round 7 there seem to be plenty of solid maybe second tier pitchers and it makes me wonder how you can get more value. In other words let's assume you can get the same value from 2 pichers in rounds 4-5 as from 3 pitchers in rounds 7-9 and you wanted to do one or the other. What is the more efficient way to go? I guess maybe the answer is to say what hitters/closers you can get in those rounds and see what they're worth.
To simplify things, how about this: if you could, would you trade your 4-5-6 picks for an extra 1 and 2 pick, or more to the point, a 7-8-9 pick for an extra 4 and 5?
