Alexei

[JOBA]

Is the 52nd pick too early to grab him in a 12-team keeper?

5th pick round 5? Philips I drafted in round 4 or 5 in most drafts I do. He will put up a better ba but slightly less steals same power and RBI production.

It depends on what other 2b are on the board still (otherplayers on the board) and what you've drafted/kept so far.

I think that is a little high.

I'm reading he probably will become SS eligible soon this year also. Does that make a difference to you?

What other players are available? Positions?

OK, we keep up to five players and then there is an "expansion draft" for those that didnt keep 5. Well, after SEVERAL trades and swapping picks, I have ended up with 3 picks in the expansion draft (which equal the #52, 56, 58 players overall). I have already kept Howard, Hamilton, Soriano, and Kemp.

I'm in a 12 team, H2H league, with the following cats: R/HR/RBI/SB/TB/AVG/OPS for batters and W/SV/K/ERA/WHIP/Kper9/TB

We start: C-1B-2B-3B-SS-OF-OF-OF-UTL-UTL SP-SP-RP-RP-P-P-P-P (40 IP min each week)
5 BENCH SPOTS

With whose in the expansion draft and what they have, Alexei WILL be taken at #55 if I dont take him at #52. However, everyone who picks before I do again already has a 2B, so really I could easily end up with |Roberts and Alexei for me infield, with my keepers, Ill be stacked on offense. At that point, draft order really doesnt matter right?

If I could some how come out of the expansion draft, heading into the regular draft with Alexei, Roberts, and say Chris Davis for 3B, I think that would be amazing.


The top players ranked by our yahoo settings that I am looking at:
-Roberts
-Alexei
-Chris Davis
-McLouth
-Abreau
-Hamels
-Several cathcers

I don't think that's high at all. It just depends on the other value players on the board. It is tough to nab a good 3B, SS and 2B. Alexei has significant upside and position flexibility.
