Who do I pick in the second round?(WHIR)

Postby kidsilk » Thu Mar 26, 2009 9:37 pm

AL only league, 10 teams, 23 man rosters, MI/CI positions, UTI, no bench, 7 keepers with 3 year contracts, 5x5 roto style.

My Keepers

MCab
Thome
Konerko
Wells
J. Lopez
Morrow
Shields

I have the 3rd pick in each round including 3rd overall and know I will pick ARod with my pick as CC and Kinsler are going first and second. Here are the best players available for the draft. Do I go with a closer, Matt Wieters, or the best arm, or best bat available?

Best FA's

ARod
Kinsler
CC
Crawford
Bay
Papelbon
Granderson
Magglio
Ortiz
Burnett
Abreu
Kerry Wood
Hunter
Dye
Velander
Wang
Bedard
Burrell
Nady
Fuentes
Wieters

CC / Papel...

i think the bats you listed are decent and good. but i think you could fetch a better bat by trading CC or Papel...

just my 2 cents
Post your link, I will answer yours to the best of my knowledge.

Definitely Bay.. Wieters is always interesting, and while I think he'll play like a top 5 catcher by the end of the year, he won't give you better than top 15 value for the season as a whole

I would actually pass on A Rod, since we don't know if he will have side affects on his hip like Albert Belle did, I say Paps and Wieters
