10 minutues til draft. 5th pick. Who to take?

Postby coma » Tue Mar 31, 2009 10:51 pm

Who should my main options be? 8 team league.. Was thinking Sizemore? But there is so much OF depth. I was planning on drafting Johan if he is there with my 2nd pick.

I don't see how you can pass on Sizemore, even if there will be tons of outfielders around with only 8 teams. The only other option if you really wanted to avoid OF would be Chase Utley if you're confident he'll be fine. Teixeira is safer but I can't argue him over Sizemore in any format.

I think he expects Hanley, Pujols, Wright, Reyes, and Miggy as the top 5.

Wright, Sizemore, Miggy - one of these will fall to you. In an 8 team league wait until round 5 or 6 to take your first pitcher or even later if they aren't going off the board. You can probably get someone like Haren or Webb in the 5th or 6 round, possibly a round later. Then stock up on pitching in the 10-15th rounds. In those rounds you can get guys like Billingsley, Shields, Lester, Burnett, Volquez, Nolasco, Gallardo, Wainwright, etc. Stock up on stud hitters in the first few rounds. In an 8 team league you will need a great offense to compete.

good luck

Sorry, clearly I've had one too many beers tonight and I'm assuming the obvious answer wasn't staring him in the face. !+)

Nevermind, go with Miggy.

I won't lie....correcting a cafe member who has a huge amount of special icons under his avatar makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

Enjoy the brews.
