Draft Picks You Regret

[j24jags]

I know it's too soon to really know if you made a mistake, but I thought it would be interesting to look at some questionable decisions you made on draft day where you made the wrong choice...

Here's a couple for me:
-Jon Broxton over Jose Valverde
-Ian Desmond over Starlin Castro
-Derrek Lee over Ike Davis

Tyler Colvin $8

I wish I had gone a little higher in my auction on Scherzer, who went for $13, instead I ended up with Billingsley at $12.
I kind of got Kinsler cheap at $17 but a little later Phillips went for $13.
And though I just stole Ellsbury for cheap I wish I hadn't spent $16 on Rios and gotten Ellsbury at $13 instead.

All of them

JETER....

i was hoping for a nice bounceback year because he had such a good 09 season. i had him ranked ahead of rollins easily.

i had a chance earlier in the season to keep darwin barney and in hindsight i shouldve kept him and started him over jeter.

also carlos lee, i thought i was getting cheap power for 1B/CI.

Basically my whole roto offense - B. Roberts, Furcal, Wright, Delmon Young, Soto. Add in two DL closers for good measure - Aardsma, Conteras.

Result: Likely finishing out of the money

In another one of my leagues (KCKL) I took Carpenter with my first pick (after the keepers) over Aramis/Sandoval. Even though Sandoval is hurt, I regret this pick since I took Reynolds next round . I would have been much much much better off taking Aramis first then Marcum/Brett Anderson (my two highest pitchers available at my next pick).

That reminds me I did take Soto a bit too early in one of my drafts only to drop him when he hit the DL

Ouch.

I'd go with Chris Carpenter (over Shaun Marcum) and Carlos Lee (over Lance Berkman.

Kendrys Morales in round 6. I had him the year before and was so cheesed off over the bad luck of losing him on that grand slam home plate celebration injury that I was determined to get value out of him this year instead. Wrong. I guess I'll leave him alone in next year's draft unless he falls more so.
