Who should I pick?(WHIR)

Postby kidsilk » Wed Dec 09, 2009 10:12 pm

10 team, 10x10 roto league, 5 keepers. Slow draft just started and Ellsbury was the first pick. We use normal positions plus 5 OF, MI, CI, 2UTI, 6SP, and 3RP. My keepers are as follows:

ARod
AGon
Felix
Halladay
Rollins

The following are the best players available at their respective positions:

C: McCann, Posada
1B: Berkman, Lee, Morales, Sandoval, Votto
2B: Pedroia, Zobrist, Roberts, Lopez
SS: Bartlett, Alexei, Drew
3B: Sandoval, Aramis, Figgins, Young, Beckham
OF: Beltran, Markakis, Ethier, Hamilton, BJ Upton, Zobrist, Quentin, Abreu, Granderson, Cruz, Werth, Soriano
DH: Vlad, Ortiz
SP: Carp, Beckett, Lester, Peavy, Lee, Gallardo, Cain
RP: Papelbon, Nathan, Rivera, KRod (everyone but Broxton)

Who do you think I should pick? I was thinking about filling my 2nd base position with Pedroia or Roberts or get an OF like Beltran who I think will come back and have a nice year or Upton, Ethier. Or Sandoval is a sexy pick. What do you think?

I have also been offered David Wright and the guy's 7th round pick for my first and 3rd round picks. Would this be something I should consider? Will Wright come back this year? I thought I might offer my first and 4th round for his Wright and 5th round. What do you guys think?

I think I like Markakis or Quentin with you starting 5 outfielders. As for the Wright trade, I would probably do it as Wright is atleast a 2 round pick so your basically trading for a 2nd and a 7th and giving up a 6th and a 9th.

Why was Ellsbury the 1st pick?

I would take the Wright trade. If not, my top 3 are BJ, Hamilton, Markakis.

Maybe the owner with the first pick needed and outfielder ans wanted steals?

I have the guy agreeing to a Wright and 5th rounder for my first and third rounder. Should I do it?
