Who to Draft - Round 3 NL Only

[jwhatti]

NL Only 5 x 5. 1st 2 picks were Jose Reyes and Roy Oswalt (there was a run on pitchers in the late 1st and early 2nd round)

Carlos Beltran
Alfonso Soriano
Russel Martin
Geo Soto

Thanks

unless there are 14 teams in your league, that was still too early to take oswalt...beltran is the best option here

[jwhatti]

Beltran was taken right before my pick, so I went with Soriano.

I agree on Oswalt and I am still kicking myself. Started paniking when Webb, Lincecum, Johan, Hamels, Haren, Peavy, Billingsley and Derrick Lowe were all taken in the first two rounds.

[HOOTIE]

Whoever took Lowe in the 2nd should give up drinking.

How cool is that, you are in a baseball league with Derek Lowe's Mom.
Defaulting to Soriano after Beltran was drafted was the right move.

Yeah, Derek Lowe's mom should give up drinking! Soriano works there...

[jwhatti]

I was a little suprised when I saw Lowe come up too. But it may have to do with this one league I am in. It is 10 teams w/ 40 man rosters. I was wrong earlier when I said it was 5 x 5. It is more of a simulation type thing. I am trying to figure it out when I get a few minutes between work and my draft pick. we each have an hour to make picks (and that totally sucks - it is going to take days, maybe weeks). We each have a home ballpark which is taken into account in the simulation. I have Wrigley Field. It is run by boxbaseball.com.

Now I gotta decide on my 4th round pick

My choices are
Matt Kemp
Brandon Phillips
Adrian Gonzales
Geo Soto
Russell Martin
Any Cubs Pitcher
Ricky Nolasco
Derrik Lee
Garrett Atkins
Ryan Ludwick
Ben Sheets
Edinson Volquez
Carlos Delgado

I am leaning towards one of the catchers since that is kinda scarce position and their is a pretty good drop off after them.

Thoughts?

[Tenacious D-Store]

Phillips is tempting, but I'm looking at A-Gon

[Verminator]

I'd take Kemp even though you are now a bit behind the 8 ball in power.

Is McCann around... I like him more than Martin or Soto.

[jaybogey]

If McCann is around I'd take him other than that I would go with Martin. Her can steal bases plus I have a strange feeling Soto's rookie year may be a fluke..
