This is the 2nd time I have seen the Kinsler / Hanley combo at the turn of the 1st/2nd Round. I did it in one of the 375 Slows and have been losing sleep about it every since. Huge Risk / Huge Reward chance there for sure! Interesting.... Other Thoughts on that Middle Infield Combo?

[Vander]

I'm very interested keep them coming.

[Gekko]

mccann...end of the 6th? wow

[FFBL23]

Greg,
Keep these coming. One request, can we see other rounds as well? For example, say the next 6 rounds (Rounds 7-12) as the first 6 rounds are getting a little old. It's time to see how the next phase of the draft looks. What do you think?

Kevin

This is what wins leagues, to bad it is way to early, yes I want to see further results because trends interest me.

Kevin

No, I think the people who pay to compete in these Slow Drafts deserve to retain that information. We are already giving out updated ADPs for all players, so that's enough. The first six rounds is to whet your whistles and show some early trends, but after that the best way to see who is going after Round 6 is to jump into one of these Slow Drafts or grab an early season satellite league. I don't think it's fair to show anything past Round 6. Sorry.

[Rog]

ellsbury anywhere from 3rd to 12th,does any other 1st rounder jump around that much

Yu Darvish all the way up into the 5th... that is eye popping to me.

Yu Darvish all the way up into the 5th... that is eye popping to me.

If he has a few good spring training starts he will go higher yet!

This is the 2nd time I have seen the Kinsler / Hanley combo at the turn of the 1st/2nd Round. I did it in one of the 375 Slows and have been losing sleep about it every since. Huge Risk / Huge Reward chance there for sure! Interesting.... Other Thoughts on that Middle Infield Combo?

Yeah, here is a thought, Max: Eliminate the word "risk" when considering your first two overall picks as a rule of thumb. Total crap shoot that neither one of those will not miss time this season, and perhaps a significant amount. They may not and with any luck you'll be fine, but that's another word that I never want to use in reference to my first two picks ("luck").

Mike, I think it is safe to say I won't be using the Kinsler / Hanley Combo again in 2012! Honestly, this combo of two players could BE HUGE coming out of the Middle Infield, but I agree that the word Risk shouldn't be in your thoughts when pulling the trigger on any of the first 16 players taken, let alone 2 in a row
See you in just over 3 weeks for the start of the 1000 SLOW! Looking forward to ripping that title from your hands this year!

Feel free to try, Max. Should be a blast. Really looking forward to it, and you can always claim that you were the one who came up with it.
