Draft tonight...final thoughts?

Postby socceryank » Thu Mar 25, 2010 1:21 pm

10 teamer, H2H, redraft, standard 5x5 except OPS instead of avg.

I have 8th pick, and will take whichever 1B stud falls to me. I'm looking for final advice for my second pick (13th overall):

Wright: (probably won't be available due to Met fan picking 10th).
Holliday: (probably the "safest" pick).
J Upton: (do I go for the gusto this early and take the risk?)
Tulo: (not sure I want to gamble on him this early, as Cano, Phillips should still be available at 3/4 for me, and even Uggla is very attractive later with OPS).

My thoughts are to go with Holliday or Upton :-o , and them nab Zimmerman and Cano/Phillips at 3/4. So after 4 rounds, my team could look like:

Tex
Holliday/Upton
Zimmerman
Phillips (slight nod over Cano due to speed)

Or feel free to insert your own suggestion (but not interested in Lincecum).

Thanks for all the help guys! ;-D

All four are fine second round options and I really wouldn't sweat it. I'll say:

Wright
Tulowitzki
Holliday
J Upton

I like J-Up a little more than Holliday, but you can't go wrong with either guy.

I would probably go with any of those options. Wright, Tulo, Upton, or Holliday. You cannot lose going with any of them. Tulo and Wright probably before Upton and Holliday due to position scarcity. But it comes to your personal preference. I like all 4 guys and I have 3 of 4 as my keepers in my league.

And yes, wait on 1B. You could get Wright with your 1st pick, Holliday/Upton with your 2nd, and then get 1B in the 3rd.

Well, here is how it turned out. As you can tell, I missed out on the SS run by A LOT! Kind of surprised I was able to snag both Kemp and JUpton, and ended up pleased with Uggla considering it is an OPS league and not AVG.

10 team, redraft, H2H, 5x5 OPS instead of AVG.

Thanks for all of the pre-draft help!
