Henderson would have made for a great Hidden RD 5 pick

all the pitcher heavy guys would LOVE for the hitter heavy teams to switch over and draft pitching crumbs. i get it

I think Bruce said that he was going to make his pick around 6pm central, so its possible he picks soon and we go on a nice little run here!

I will pick Todd Helton 2000 and put him at CI

580ab 42hr 138r 147rbi 5sb .372avg.

I agree there is no sense in taking a pitcher just to take one. McLain was an awesome pick and I would have taken if he fell to me. But as you can see, us late rounders have crumbs to pick from

I am Bruce

580ab 42hr 138r 147rbi 5sb .372avg. Very good pick with Helton. Strongly considered him when we took Greenberg.

Who's next!

helton was the next 1bman on my list so pretty good pick.

btw, there have been some not so good picks this draft IMO, but i don't want disrespect anyone and point them out

Navel Lint · Post by **Navel Lint** » Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:33 pm

All this talk about the draft being pitcher heavy, so far 23 hitters and 18 pitchers have been taken

BTW, I don't know if it will get back to me, but I will be unavailable for the next 2.5 hours.......

Sorry!

using the adp from the nfbc main event, the first 41 picks in the average draft would be 35 hitters taken to this point and only 6 pitchers. so, YES, with 18 pitchers taken so far, this has been a VERY pitcher heavy draft.

I wouldn't knock anybody's picks. It seems everybody has their own strategy, we'll see how successful each might be when this is all said and done. One thing we do know for sure, you can't win without pitching AND hitting. 75+5= you lose. 75+20? 70+25? Now THAT might just do the trick.
