Midseason Awards for Bold Picks

Post by Cowboy Joe » Fri Jul 03, 2009 8:20 am

Below are 20 players who receive the "BOLD PICKS" award for player results to date. 2 criteria were used in making selections. 1. MLB player must be performing at a level significantly higher than his "main event" ADP. 2. MLB player must have been selected by an NFBC team significantly earlier than his ADP. I only looked at the 26 leagues making up the main event.



MLB PLAYER ADP SELECTED NFBC TEAM

Tim Lincecum 23 11 Box of Frogs Rock LV10

Justin Morneau 30 14 Primo-Ballin NY7

Dan Haren 57 33 Pray for Mojo NY5

Felix Hernandez 89 46 Planet Orange LV11

Carlos Pena 91 60 Angel Chicago3

Yovani Gallardo 96 62 Heads NY1

Joe Mauer 105 58 Crazy from Heat NY6

Johnny Damon 106 68 Movers LV10

Raul Ibanez 117 92 Team Stavino LV11

Matt Cain 134 89 Cubdumb Chicago1

Miguel Tejada 180 118 Beckham's Bombers Chi3

Mark Reynolds 190 127 Didley Squat LV1

Johnny Cueto 193 156 Spartacus LV5

Jason Bartlett 235 162 Appleton Hays Phone 2

Adam Lind 242 189 Team Brady LV1

Todd Helton 258 210 Angel Chicago 3

Aaron Hill 268 212 Bashballers Chicago 4

Clint Barmes 305 226 RC Techies LV9

Michael Cuddyer 347 271 Hang Tough Chicago 4

Russell Branyan 363 288 1060 W Addison Orl 1



I'm sure there were other great picks, but these were the ones that stood out to me.
I feel like I'm the Jerry Quarry of the NFBC.

Bartlett is amazing never realized he was such a good hitter.Branyan just needs at bats and this year will finally get over 5oo at bats which will be an easy 35 homers and probably 40.Johhny Cueto is the stud on this list as i didnt know he was this good ,didnt get him in a single league.

Teahen- an outfielder with 29 rbi?



Garrett Anderson has 30.



Elijah Dukes has 30 and was sent down! :eek:



Somebody is going to have to let me in on the love for Teahen this year. Heck, except for runs, Scott Hairston has better numbers than him across the board.

A trade with the Brewers and the Royals would have Teahen Coffey.

What about 10 game winner Tim Wakefield? This guy could easily win 20 games this year the way he pitches deep into games and I think he went round 28-30 in most leagues. Now thats a steal for your 6th SP if you ask me.

He's produced at the level of a #4OF or #3CI or roughly a 15th round pick. ADP had him going in round 26 and Slacker's grabbed him in round 20

Good choice. :cool:

I wondered what they would have said if Eddie Pick had played with Lew Flick..."It's Pick n Flick and we will be right back!"
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.

When I was a kid, the Pirates had the battery of Veale and Pagliaroni.

Sounded like a great italian dish.
