1b = 1 pt
2b = 2 pt
3b= 3 pt
HR= 4 pt
R= 1 pt
RBI = 1 pt
K = -0.5
BB = 1 pt
SB = 3 pt!
CS = 1 pt

9th pick in 24 teamer.

Braun - My initial thought, liked better with 3b elig, but still strong w/SB's.
Teixeira - Would this be a slight reach? Id love him in NY or BOS.
Hamilton - 1.5 great seasons, but somehow Im nervous longterm. Some SB boost.
Howard - His k totals scare me in a a league deducting for them, despite high HR each year.

Kinda limited it to these 4 guys. Most of you on here have more years of experience than me, and certainly more knowledge on this subject. I'd value any input.

Thanks all

it wouldn't be Howard. 3 points for a sb? not a points guy but that seems high. I'd think Braun would be your best play here.

braun for sure.

Braun would be a good choice there. Howard is devalued someone with the use of Ks as a cat. I think it would come down to Sizemore or Braun. I would go with Braun.

Keep in mind that 53SB = 40HR. This means you should keep Taveras, Bourn and Gomez in the back of your mind because they have some good value with this point system.

I agree with the pick of Braun

by **The Artful Dodger** » Tue Dec 16, 2008 5:13 pm

Either Braun or Hamilton is the choice, but I'd rather have Braun in a dynasty and the double digits in SB he's likely to bring will be a bigger boost.
