Draft 2 1Bs to start??

Postby cnasty » Sat Mar 21, 2009 3:08 pm

In a league where we have two utility spots i have the 12th pick and from everyone in our league talking it seems like howard and cabrera would both be there. Because of the Util spot I think taking both of them seems ok. Other guys i could pick are holliday and longoria, i really dont like holliday for some reason and love longoria. What would u do?

Based on the names you mentioned I don't think it is a bad idea. Especially if you are getting MCab. Does he have first and third eligibility in your league? He does in yahoo leagues, and if yours is the same, you have just filled your corner infield spots as well as anyone could!

Good Luck!

With two utility spots, I say take best two available at picks 12-13 and worry about filling positions later. Worry about getting stats early. If you have M-Cab and Howard rated as the top 2 players available, take them. Good luck. If you have a second and don't mind helping with mine, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'd feel good about MCab / Howard, but I'd be looking for speed with the 3rd pick.

It depends on how your league deals with strikeouts. If Howard gets killed by them in there, grab E-Lo.
