I have the 1st & 5th overall In a 24 team league.

Postby soxfan25 » Thu Mar 12, 2009 5:03 am

This is the first year of a Dynasty Salary Cap league. I gave up a ton to get the 1st overall and had the 5th. I could not pass up the chance to grab 2 of the top 5. Should I grab a hitter and pitcher since I will not be drafting again for a while? I am thinking Hanley & Longoria? Wright? Sizemore? Braun? Lincecum? Price? Cabrera? Utley? Kinsler?

How would you draft it?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Wright shouldn't be there by #5.

Hanley #1

With the #5 you take the best available HITTER, and please don't take a pitcher in the top 5!

just grab the best available and target a SP on the way back. you'll get hanley #1 and probably mcab or sizemore (im guessing pujols 2, wright 3, reyes 4), which makes me :-L

It really depends on who is there at #5. Longoria seems like a good one. I wouldn't take a pitcher either, they can be very unreliable

I would also take the two best hitters I could at 1 and 5.

I am curious on what you had to give up to obtain that 1st round selection.

Pick the two best hitters

You could take two different routes here:


1) you draft Pujols first and hope to the stars that reyes falls to you at 5 (don't you wish A-rod was still kicking around?). I would say the chances of him falling to you are less than him not... if he didn't, then I feel you'd be obliged to pick Sizemore (5-tool stud).

or

2) Take Hanley, and then the best available power hitter. I would rank them: pujols, wright, cabrera, braun, sizemore.

if you knew reyes would fall to you... #1 would be the best case scenario... but you really can't go wrong with the safety/security of #2. Personally, I would choose the latter.


:-P ABOVE ALL ELSE... DO NOT CONSIDER A PITCHER IN THE TOP FIVE PICKS!!! :-P
