My on-going offline draft topic. (Round 16) WHIR

[javcovelite]

I'm in the 16th round of my 15-team h2h draft. The catagories are RBI, AVG, HR, R, SB, SV, K, WHIP, ERA, W.

In the draft you can only draft one player from each team. This makes it very difficult. I'm thinking of going Johnny Cueto, Aaron Harang, Brandon Morrow, Joel Hanrahan, Huston Street, or Freddy Sanchez.

Man, this is a super interesting draft!!!

I'd say I like your list with the exception of Hudson Street. Main reasons: I think Corpas will be the closer and assuming all other things equal with similar RPs this guys plays at Coors field far too often for me (if the SV value isn't there it's not worth the risk).

I am a cubs fan, but i think FONTENOT could have similar output to Pedroia (minus 10 of the SBs, plus a couple more HRs). Call me crazy, but FONTENOT can hit for avg. and the ball screams off his bat (he's a potential 20hr guy if you ask me). And they'll likely bat him 2nd in front of LEE, ARAM, BRADLEY (that's a whole lot of potential for runs). He's a supersleeper if you ask me.

Based on position scarcity I like FONTY better than most on your 5 best player list.

I have ZERO faith in Joel Hanrahan, but I love Brandon Morrow.
I think Brett Myers comes closer to finally living up to his Potential (he looked great when he came back up last year).
