Fantasy Baseball Draft 2006

[Bloody Nipples]

I have to support my guy. Tex should be in the middle of the first round. No question.

If he brings that average to about .290 he would be lights out!

Beltran will not make the top 8 rounds if he continues at his current pace. Top round is a fantasy.

Santana will fall to the late 2nd or 3rd round unless he picks it up.

Wow, i wish I was in leagues with you. A guy like Beltran hasmad, mad potential for next year. I think people are forgetting what he did last year.

Well I think they're foregetting what he did last year because he is sucking this year....

Tex 1st round to replace this year's Helton.

[Bloody Nipples]

And where is Sheets? Just cause a guy has a freak infection and therefore misses a few weeks of statproducing opportunities doesnt mean he should be dropped 4 rounds from where he was last year. He's still a top 10 pitcher.

for all those saying beltran and d lee are overvalued im just teallling you that that is the way a draft might loook, not personally wat I myself would do.

One down year does not a washed up fantasy career make. Beltran may not be a top 12 pick next year, but he will be taken in the first 3 rounds. There are more than enough guys who have undererformed during their first year in NY. Beltran is a legit talent.
Having said that, I realized that he is on the borderline of being a 4th fantasy outfielder currently. However, there is just too much talent to let him slide too far down next year.

There's too much talent in the league to let him go too high next year. The guy has talent and has put up some sick fantasy numbers but if you don't think he'll run next year (And I don't) he becomes an average outfielder who hits .285, 30hr (tops), and 90rbi and steals maybe 15 bases. That's a 4th round pick or worse. I can get better numbers from a lot of outfielders. Off the top of my head? Jason Bay, Jose Guillen, Carlos Lee, Jim Edmonds, Miguel Cabrera, Manny Ramirez, Gary Sheffield, Hideki Matsui, Vlad, Abreu, Andruw Jones, Carl Crawford, Griffey, Cliff Floyd, Vernon Wells, Aubrey Huff etc... There's 16 outfielders I'd rather have than Beltran. There are probably more.

EDIT: I forgot Lance Berkman and just for grins I'd rather have Delmon Young and he hasn't even had a major league AB yet.
