2nd pick....Braun, Howard, Utley, Oh My?

Postby JagATC » Sun Mar 14, 2010 7:04 pm

Got the 2nd pick in a 10 team roto with standard categories. The following players are being kept from last year and wown't be eligilbe for me to draft.

Pujols
A-Rod
Mauer

The following are also being kept and I list them here just if position scarcity effects your reply: Verlander, Jeter, Tulowitzki, V-Mart, Aaron Hill, Matt Kemp, Justin Upton, Prince Fielder.

I'm keeping Greinke and Wainwright.

So who should I take? Assuming Hanley goes #1, do I take Braun? Howard? Utley?

Or I have an owner that has the #9 pick that has actually asked me about trading picks...I'd give him the #2 pick and I'd have the #9 and it'd stay that way throughout the entire draft. Should I trade down and get 2 solid picks instead of that #2 and then waiting...

We only keep 2 "keepers" from year to year so it's not really a dynasty league. The 2 keepers we keep from the previous year, we get to keep them in the round we drafted them in. So it's all about value. I'm keeping Greinke and Wainwright in the 9th and 11th rounds from last year, so they will be my 9th and 11th round picks this year.

Keep your draft spot, and take Braun. And pray Hanley slips!
