Who to draft with 1st pick after keepers? WHIR

Postby chadam189 » Thu Mar 04, 2010 12:07 pm

12-team H2H Points, 5 keepers. We start C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, MI, CI, 5xOF, 2xUTIL, 3xSP, 2xRP, 3xP, 6xBench, 3xDL

Batting:
BB, SB, TB = 1
K, CS = -1
HR = 2

Pitching:
IP = 2
ER = -2
K = 1
H, HR allowed, BB = 1
W, SV = 10
QS = 5
L, BS = -5

I spent all of last year rebuilding, so I have A-Rod, Kinsler, Fielder, Hanley, Markakis.

I have the 5th pick in the first round after keepers, and the available players are:

Zobrist (2B,OF)
Bay
D. Lee
Berkman
Jeter
Hill
Morales
Werth
McCann
--
J. Johnson
Gallardo
Hanson
Nolasco

Please rank who I should hope falls to me, thanks! WHIR!

Based on your keepers, I'd probably take Johnson and then take either Jeter or another solid OF (Bay or Werth) in the next round if they are still available.

I am an idiot, I meant to make the topic "1st ROUND pick"; to reiterate, I have the 5th pick in the 1st round after keepers are accounted for. Sorry guys !+)

Even though your offense is potent after keepers, I'd go Bay then Jeter, if still available. If not, I'd jump to Gallardo/Johnson. Probably give a slight edge to Johnson.

I would go Johnson then Gallardo. Good time to take a pitcher there.

yep, this is a great time to go pitcher and it looks like pitchers are pretty picked over..

Josh Johnson looked great last year, I'd go him..

I actually like Gallardo more than Johnson this year. I think he can take a step forward on his numbers from last year. So, I'd go Johnson, Gallardo, Hanson... then I'd probably take one of the available bats before I thought about Nolasco.
