Did I Do Good In My Draft?

[rasto21585]

I just drafted for my 20 team h2h dynasty league. I think I put together a well rounded group of young players. Do you think I did good in my draft? Also what moves, if any should I make?

You're right does look like a good group of well rounded players. My only concern is its a very young team w/ a lot of question marks. You may look to add another veteran to your pitching staff. Someone who has been consistantly above average.

[mkultra]

I think you also need a high-average guy. Kemp looks like the only guy on your roster who can break .300 this year.

[Wadderboiz]

Molina should also hit .300+, but I agree your AVG may be your weakest category.

[rasto21585]

So which of my players should I look to move to get a player who hits for a high average.

[Wadderboiz]

I'd say if you can find someone who is still high on Jay Bruce as a young up and comer send him off. His power may improve but that AVG will kill you and Cinci has a lot of quality hitters looking for playing time.

agree with the above, you might be able to pull in a solid bat for bruce

Gotta disagree with everyone regarding Jay Bruce. As a 22 year old, he struggled in the majors so let's panic and base everything off last year? Before that he's been an absolute machine. To get rid of him now in a dynasty league would be a major injustice to your team. Btw, I bet he bats at least .275 this season.

All this talk regarding experience is nice, but as you said, you built a team focused more on the future. You've got some EXCELLENT talent considering it's a 20 team league so why mess it up?

[Wadderboiz]

I'd be a little more inclined to take your opinion on Jay Bruce if there wasn't a Reds logo attached to your name. Don't get me wrong Bruce is a decent bat and I understand his age is a factor, however the Reds have done exceptionally well evaluating and developing young players, clearly they felt Bruce was ready and it just seems to me he is another top prospect who translates to a Gabe Kapler type player.

Taking "homer" fantasy advice almost never helps.

OMG - you're comparing him to Gabe Kapler?

You're right that homer advice is usually detrimental, but most of the advice given to the guy here was so off that I had to speak up.

Please, don't take my word nor Wadderboiz, just see what all the experts say (John Sickels, etc). To base so much off of last year is ridiculous...
