I need thoughts on my next pick.

Postby BigW27 » Sun Mar 08, 2009 4:00 am

13 teams in a roto league, we get to keep (5) keepers.
Stat Categories are: R, HR, RBI, SB, K, AVG, OBP, W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

Players in Bold are keepers. So far one round has gone by and I selected Haren. My next pick I want to fill out my 1st base slot, I could go with either Huff or Delgado. But I like either Chris Davis or Garret Atkins as they both have 3B eligibility. Also VMart seem like an interesting pick as well.

Ludwick
Rios
Utley
Mclouth
Big Papi

Haren

The are some of the players still available: VMart, Davis,Huff, Tulowitski, Kazmir, Uggla, Dye, Delgado, Michael Young, Dunn,Soria, Jhonny Peralta, Pence, Hart and Pena. What do you guys think, should I go with my selection of Davis or Garrett or pick one of these other guys. Thanks for the help and as always leave me your questions as well.

I would get Davis for 3rd, then grab a SP next round then get Joey Votto if available. Did you really have to keep Big Papi? I honestly don't think his value is there anymore in a 5man keeper league, but that is just me.

Davis
Hart if got a 4th OF spot?
Uggla
Pence
Soria
Peralta

I don't like Atkins myself, since he can't hit on road, and a trade would really kill him.

Joey Votto is gone, :,-( I thought he would get back to me. I'm hoping that either Delgado or Huff will get back to me for 1st base, since no one thinks they'll be any good. But I can see another 25-30 HR season from each one. Big Papi Will hit his 30 Hr'S and get 100 RBI's. Obviously his skills are declining but they're very few DH players that will give you the numbers that Ortiz will.

Uggla
Pence

As always Hootie thank you, I feel that guys like you and elsy make this site very informative and that's why I keep on coming back. Yeah Uggla was on my mind, but his AVG scares me off, but I can probably just surround him with some other players with good batting AVG's. Again thanks.

Others please feel free to express your thoughts as well. Very curious to see what you guys think.
