who should i take nr one

Postby WildKatkeith » Mon Mar 02, 2009 1:07 pm

I am in a non keeper league with 20 teams . the commish used a draft randomizer and i got first pick overall. this is the set up
Roster Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OF, Util, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, P, P, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL, DL
Stat Categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, W, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP
stats seem to favor pitchers . so how should i approach the draft and pick nr one overall albert or hanley
also should i try to take the best pitchers availabe in the 2nd and 3rd round or the best hitters. how about bulkin up on starters and relievers since the stats favor them 6 to 5

In a 20 team league I would definitely go with Hanley. I would not stock up on pitching early, draft offense with your first three (3) selections period. In a league this deep you cannot afford to draft a pitcher and have him either get injured or have a down year, which seems to always happen. Offense, Offense, Offense.

In my 20 team dynasty league, I had the first pick overall. I took Hanley Ramirez - there is no other option.

FWIW, I didn't take a P until the 5th round. I think my offense is pretty solid for a 20 teamer and I'll patch together my pitching as I go. Difference is this is a dynasty so guys like Price, Bruce, etc went earlier than most drafts would have them go. Here's what I've done so far with the 1st overall pick:

20 team, 6x6 H2H (OPS/HLD)
25 round draft MLB in progress
15 round prospect draft not yet started

C
1B - Derek Lee, 1B - CHI (7:121)
2B - Brian Roberts, 2B-BAL (3:41)
3B - Chipper Jones, 3B - ATL (4:80)
SS - Hanley Ramirez, SS-FLA (1:1)
LF - Jason Bay, LF-BOS (2:40)
CF
RF - Brady Hawpe, RF-COL (6:120)
Util - Jose Guillen, LF/RF-KC (10:200)
Util

SP - James Shields, SP-TB (5:81)
SP - Scott Baker, SP-MIN (8:160)
RP - Mariano Rivera, RP-NYY (9:161)
RP
P - Gil Meche, SP-KC (11:201)

Hanley. To be honest, I can't think of many instances where he's NOT the #1 pick.

It's only cheating on your favorite team if you get caught... Like the '07 Series.
