next OF to take

Postby perlick29 » Fri Mar 20, 2009 8:17 am

Here's the next cluster of Outfielders that are available in my league in which I have Reyes, MCAB, Dunn, Greinke, Billingsley, and Pence.

Chris Young
Lastings Milledge
Conor Jackson
Vernon Wells
Nelson Cruz
Jayson Werth
Raul Ibanez
Dukes
Hawpe

and of course, still Justin Upton. So with that list, would you make Upton you're 3rd OF or someone else?

Should we assume this is a keeper league. You list six players does this mean you are drafting for the seventh round? If yes those are some mighty slim pickings, this cant be right.

I will respond to your response.

8th round of a 14 team league, I left off that I have Fuentes in addition to my other guys. It is a keeper league.

Yes, I would agree with the Upton pick as well. For what its worth PECOTA likes him more than all the others listed starting this year. PECOTA's forcast: 278-84-24-80-12

Upton
Dukes
Milledge

no. no. no. no. no......

Milledge
Chris B Young
Upton

lastings is your most proven commodity here.. look at last year, especially the 2nd half of last year.. and age is obviously not a concern since all are under 25..

Milledge is a pretty safe bet to hit 23 HR and steal 25+ bases.. also, there is no one in Wahington that can take center field from him.. so it's his for the season..

help as well?

With that group, I'd look elsewhere for your next couple picks and take whomever is left over in a few rounds.

i fully agree. while upton provides the most upside, most of the guys are in the same neighborhood. work on another position then hit up the OF.

I like the remaining OF on the board, but I think you'll have to wind up taking Justin Upton here since I'm sure most in your league will be enamored with his long-term ceiling. I believe he'll eventually meet the hype, but keep in mind that as advanced as he is for a soon-to-be 22 year-old, he'll figure to be a bit raw. I'm still a believer in him this year and next though (he still managed 15 homers in 356 AB last year, just sayin').

I'm wondering what else do you have out there in the draft pool besides OF?

Milledge is the best of that bunch in my eyes.
