Round 2 & 3 help. Rank players. WHIR!!

Postby saemick » Fri Mar 13, 2009 10:33 am

I drew the 4th pick, so round 1 will be easy (whoever falls to me), but round 2 & 3 will be tough.

Help me rank the below players as who I should be targeting:

Round 2:
Beltran
Manny
Soriano
Holliday
Fielder
B.J. Upton

Round 3:
B.J. Upton
Brandon Phillips
Crawford
Kemp
Aramis Ramirez
Adrian Gonzales
Carlos Lee

This is a H2H Yahoo! league with the scoring cat's as follows:
Hitters: R, RBI, 2B, 3B, HR, Steal, BB Pitchers: W, L, K, SV, BB


I have a feeling a good handful of these will fall to me, but I'd like to have a few "ranked" bullets in my chamber

Thanks for the help with mine.

Open ended questions like this are often difficult, because a lot of this ranking is determined by who you are. Are you a risk-taker? Risk-averse? Present-oriented? Future-oriented? Do you believe in position scarcity, or best-available?Is this a keeper league, etc.... But, if forced to rank in a vacuum, I'd say that you have round 2 pretty much right on the button (but then again, I think hitting in Oakland will have a large effect on Holliday. Most people disagree with me.

Third round, I'd put Aramis on top... He's learning how to bat, rather than just hit, and he's gonna get even better, followed by Upton, Lee, Crawford, Phillips, Gonzalez, and Kemp (I think 3rd round is too high for him).

Round 2:
Beltran
Manny
Soriano
Holliday
Fielder
B.J. Upton

Round 3:
B.J. Upton
Brandon Phillips
Crawford
Kemp
Aramis Ramirez
Adrian Gonzales
Carlos Lee
Thank you to soty for hooking me up with another awesome sig!

that's hard cause like the guy above me said, it depends on how you play. so this is IMO.
2nd round- i would rank Soriano on top, if he is healthy, he is an absolute monster. followed by beltran, manny, and holliday
3rd round- i like aramis the most out of those, he is one of the more consistant guys in the league. you know what your are getting with him. followed by upton, phillips, and crawford

Help? thanks

Let me try to limit the ambiguity of this question then:

- This is a H2H, Non-keeper league (so, I'm only looking at this year, no further)

- I would consider myself a medium risk-taker, but not in the early rounds. I'm looking for the more of a "sure-thing" in rounds 1-4 ideally.

- I believe in position scarcity, but will not overlook a MUCH better player for someone at a more scarce position

I hope this helps as I could REALLY use a hand here

thanks

Do you think you have any chance at either Pedroia or Longoria? Or do you think that is too high for one or both of those guys? Or will they be gone by then?

for these rounds it's all about a player's floor, not ceiling. that being said, your league includes walks and trips, so it changes things somewhat slightly. if your first pick is a wright/arod/sizemore, then i'd consider trying nab decent power/speed combo guys with your first three picks, as it will keep you from a tavares or bourn later down the line

Round 2:
Soriano
Beltran
Manny
Holliday
Fielder
B.J. Upton

Round 3:
Carlos Lee
Aramis Ramirez
Brandon Phillips
Kemp
B.J. Upton
Crawford
Adrian Gonzales


good luck to you:
