Picking 3rd, whom to take...

Postby posty » Mon Feb 22, 2010 2:49 pm

7x7 H2H league, 12 team...

Roster: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, IF, 4 OF, Util, 3 SP, 3 RP, 3 P

Categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, K, AVG, OBP; W, L, SV, K, Holds, ERA, WHIP

I am keeping Ryan Zimmerman (worth 7th round pick), Jayson Werth (10th round), Zack Greinke (16th)...

Pujols and Hanley Ramirez will probably go 1-2 (since they cannot be kept from the previous season)... If one of them slides to me, I will take them, but since that won't happen, I can't decide between Chase Utley, Alex Rodriguez, Tim Lincecum or Ryan Braun...

What would you guys do?

TIA

I'd take Braun. While the power is virtually guaranteed and he'll hit around .300, he also stole 20 bases last season. A big bonus.

Who do you keep? viewtopic.php?t=401201

If you didn't have Zim, I would take ARod, but since you do, Braun is the pick here.

I'd still consider ARod. 3B is pretty shallow, so holding Zim and ARod would open you up to a ton of trade possibilities. That said, Braun is an outstanding hitter with no downside.
