I picked from the 12 spot

Overall i like this team , can use some breaks like crisp[playing time]Ankiel [playing time]

Staters b+

Bullpen A-

Speed b-

Power c+

Catching C-

pICKS I LIKE Tex a great 2nd round pick.

Wiggy and Greinke like both where you drafted them.

Gallardo nice.

Dont like Soraino at pick 12th would have taken someone else.

Crisp needs to leave boston or 4th of.

Pedroia kind of high.

Tejada a lot on his mind, brother gone.

Still overall a solid B.

good or bad,,,right or wrong,,,lots of YOUNG pitching. i like the soriano pick at 12. i like teix, but not sure about him at 2.4. plus, are you covered in the SB cat?

roughly 130 to 140, not the best but no where near the worst, projected out to 10 points

RP Kevin Gregg FLA R12 P5 I'm just learning this game that is played on the diamond (fantasy wise), but I think you are really going to hurting in the power department.



Santana could carry your pitching, but if he goes down, it could be scary from there IMO.



Again, I don't know much so don't take what I say very seriously.

The more I see santana get pushed down to the 2nd round, the more I like the end of the draft. hmmm...

~Lance

Lance - give me santana in the 2nd, and I'll be locking up another league title. Book it.

GG don't you have work to do in other threads....



However I do agree with you - what a sweet start to a draft this year - picking up Johan at 2-3 or 2-4 yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I see power being pretty good. AVG however will be bad, and there are obviously some holes, which maybe the next 7 rounds would've sealed somehow.



I was amazed to see Utley at 1-11 and Johan at 2-5. From there, I thought it was pretty simple.

I posted a mock about 10 days ago and got great feedback from the experts - so I'm here to try again until I get it right (or at least righter). Please provide your comments - I sucked last year and want to improve...

R23P7 Winn Hmmmmm...I was wondering Marv, 1B appears to me to be a pretty deep position so was there a run on CM? I was looking at you using Guillen (who is a nice value by the way at 4/9)at 1B. SS is decidely thinner after the top three, so I was thinking you might be able to find a CM (or OF for that matter as Berkman also qualifies at 1B) that could outpoint Peralta. IMHO, Utley/Guillen/Hill is much stronger than Utley/Peralta/Hill. What other 1B (or OF) was available in the 11th? Just thoughts.

Wayne,



Thanks for your thoughts. There was a run on CM - hence, my draft of Reynolds a couple of rounds earlier than I would have liked. OF was thin too, as evidenced by an unknown quantity like Fukudome being the best option in the next round.



By the way, is there any way to say "Fukudome" without having my mom return from the grave to wash my mouth out with soap?

Try "...but MOM, all my friends are saying it!"

1 - Soriano- I like this pick- 9th? Upside is excellent. You can get Hanley type numbers from many spots lower in the round.(but he is a dog in real life)

2 - Tex- Solid, little risk 2nd pick- NICE.



Team looking good in all OF categoires so far



3 - Abreu- Aonther good pick. Lots of upside- in a good year he can be a 1st rounder due to the power/speed combo



4 - Papelbon- First pitcher and best closer in the game.



5 - Kazmir- Very nice anchor



6 - Tejada- Not what he once was, but this is the 6th round and again there is upside. Nice value pick.



7 - Shields- Under rated and could be break out pitcher of the year in the AL



8 - Gallardo- NOT under rated and could be break out pitcher of the year in the NL



9 - Capps- 2nd closer - Pen looks Solid



10 - Encarnacion- great power upside in a GOOD lineup.



11 - Pedroia- Nice 2b at this spot. He wont hurt you.



12 - Francis- Up and down at best.



13 - Lugo- great speed pick and upside on BA. Nice Pick!!



14 - Wigginton- Im not a believer, but so far he has been a quality major league ball player



15 - Crisp- Does he play?



16 - Greinke- Sleeper? is this the year and a good answer to the week #3 Gekko question.



17 - Votto -Great propspect- I hate Dusty.



18 - Nady- Can you time his streaks?



19 - Ankiel- Great story tainted by roid allegeations



20 - Bard. Platoon



21 - Napoli- popular sleeper pick



22 - Owings- Flyer could pay off. On a good team.



23 - Villanueva- Who?



This team has a real good shot- But 60% of this game is luck.

R1P7 Utley- David Wright type numbers from 2nd base (maybe be better)



R2P9 Berkman- Awesome when he is right and multi positional



R3P7 Abreu- Ditto what I said on the last Mock



R4P9 C Guillen (1B)- Another Multi positional guy who is a stand out player when not on the disabled list



R5P7 Zimmerman- Can be a stand out player



R6P9 C Young (P)- real good, but is he really an Ace? I rather have the OFer



R7P7 Cain- Great talent on a bad team



R8P9 R Soriano- he throw Beebees



R9P7 Lincecum- Most talented of all. What are the odds in Vegas on the Giants? They can't score but they have some potentially dominating pitching!!



R10P9 Saltalamacchia- A lot to prove. can he walk the walk?



R11P7 J Peralta (SS)- Popular bust pick



R12P9 Fukudome- Who knows? I can't figure out the imports from Asia



R13P7 Reynolds (CN) Mark? You needed the position



R14P9 B Wilson (RP)- Closer?



R15P7 A Hill (MI)- Love this pick in this spot



R16P9 Harden- health always and issue



R17P7 Maybin- Blue chip prospect. Marlins always have a few.



R18P9 Buck- Hard nose player



R19P7 Buehrle- High upside in round 19



R20P9 Pie- wild card, another Dusty issue



R21P7 Shawn Hill- he's good, Big park- nice wire pick up last year, but not even close to being the best Hill



R22P9 Baez- Closer?



This team also has a shot at a prize

R20P9 Pie- wild card, another Dusty issue

R22P9 Baez- Closer?

Who am I to disagree with a guy this accomplished in his yahoo league.



Pie- I was unaware Dusty Baker still managed the Cubs



Hill- silly me I thought the Nats were moving out of RFK this year



Baez- I once again was confused and thought Baez was out for the year with an injury.



Much more solid effort than the last time Marv- I think you took R Soriano a little early he is trending about 2 rounds later but he is a guy you have to like if he can stay healthy.

Thanks Chester in any case I got the sentiment right on all three. You must award some points on style and I did it quick. Not one positive thing to say about?



I concede that you are the "Lord of Fantasy Baseball".

Nice first name-Kent. [heard like Seinfield addressing Newman]

Dub, haven't you learned yet? In February, we are ALL "lords of fantasy baseball."



As for you, Mr. Rockwell, remember: you could argue that Danys Baez is out for the year, but you'd be right.

a Seinfelf fan just when I thought all was lost with my new friend dub. You my friend are an antichestite. You remind me a lot of Lloyd Braun.



My friends call me kent you should just address me as Mr Rockwell.



On a more serious note you may want to save your money if you do not know who the manager of the Cubs is, where the Nats play, or what pitchers are out for the year.. Just a little advice between us girls.
