Draft Help please *Guarantee to WHIR*

Postby Konfusious » Wed Mar 24, 2010 11:34 am

I am in a keeper roto league with stats being normal with the addition of OBP for atters.

Alright I have the 1st, 5th and 7th pick in the draft. I am in need of a 2B, RP, possible back-up for Jose Reyes and possible 6th SP since Webb is out till May.

2B Options are: Jose Lopez, Dan Uggla, Ian Stewart and Howie Kendrick
RP Options are: Brian Wilson, Ryan Franklin and Jose Valverde
SS Options are: Stephen Drew, Alexei Ramirez, Ryan Theriot
SP Options are: James Shields, Max Scherzer, JA Happ, Rick Porcello, Edwin Jackson, Mat Latos
Other nice choices: Carlos Quentin, Michael Bourn, Nyjer Morgan, Geovany Soto, Nolan Reimold

My thoughts are taking Wilson at 1st, Lopez or Kendrick at 5th and Shields at 7th. but I'm thinking that if I could get a bat like Quentin, I should but still debating.

*Roster in signature*
C= V. Martinez
1B = J. Morneau
2B =
3B= A. Ramirez
SS= J. Reyes
OF = Bay, Markakis and Kemp
SP: Halladay, Webb, Cain, Garza, Weaver, B. Anderson
RP: Broxton

Thanks for the help with mine.

I really like Wilson as a solid closer as well, so can't fault you for taking him.

As for 2b, I'd take Uggla 1st of those choices and actually like Stewart if you can deal with the BA and lack of speed...especially since he can play 3B as well

BUT, I think I might be tempted to try for Quentin's upside here as well.

Personally, I'd take Wilson 1st to lock up your RP's spot, take Quentin next and then grab which ever 2B is left at that point. Your SP is really deep, so if you can't get Shields, you'll still prob be able to get Scherzer, Porcello, or a number of other similar SP's

I like Valverde and Uggle, with Quentin's upside too good to pass up.

Please help with mine:

Quentin
Porcello
B Wilson

Get Kendrick or Stewart at 2B later if you can?

I like this idea. Quentin has top 20 upside if he can stay healthy. Im looking for a bounceback year.

Wilson, Porcello, then Kendrick... Quentin will bounce back in a big way, I'm convinced... But he's gonna get hurt. He crowds the plate, gets hit a ton, and is generally injury prone.

If you get a chance:

I'd also go Quention (think he'll do big things), then Wilson or Valverde, and take whichever 2b you can get after that. (I like Uggla-Lopez-Stewart -Kendrick in that order)

Help if you can?
