9 AM Drafts = Baddd

[bwyer09]

I was out late last night, which means I got home late, which means I woke up late, which means I was late to my 9 AM draft by 12 rounds. Anyway, it's a 12 team, head to head league with the standard 10 categories. Here's how my draft went:

1. (9) Chase Utley 2B
2. (16) Prince Fielder 1B
3. (33) Jake Peavy SP
4. (40) Lance Berkman 1B,OF
5. (57) Brian Roberts 2B
6. (64) Bobby Abreu OF
7. (81) Joe Nathan RP
8. (88) Gary Sheffield OF
9. (105) Jorge Posada C
10. (112) Edgar Renteria SS
11. (129) Brett Myers SP,RP
12. (136) Matt Cain SP
13. (153) Chad Billingsley SP,RP
14. (160) Joakim Soria RP
15. (177) Matt Kemp OF
16. (184) Edwin Encarnacion 3B
17. (201) Derek Lowe SP
18. (208) Ryan Garko 1B
19. (225) Jeremy Guthrie SP,RP
20. (232) Rafael Betancourt RP
21. (249) Aaron Hill 2B

I don't hate my team, but I would've defiantly done a lot of stuff differently. I wouldn't have took Nathan, Roberts, Sheffield, and Posada. I'm hoping I can trade the latter 3 for maybe a better #2 OF and maybe a better closer. I don't know. So give me some ratings, some moves to make, anything would be appreciated and I will help in return. Thanks.

I believe you're right in wanting to trade a few of those guys for another outfielder. Just taking a quick look at your roster, you have a good bit of potential - Fielder and Utley will both be up there in the end for MVP. Berkman, Sheff and Abreu have the potential I'm talking about, but you never know with them - they could have a real off year. So with some of those guys you talked about, I'd be looking to get a big name OF - depending on what other teams have/need (you do have two 2Bs, someone might be looking for one), you could stretch those guys out to get a Vlad or Crawford or Beltran if you really work it.

Good luck!
