12 team 5x5 roto keeper league. We keep 15 and draft to fill up the rest of the roster. I have the 8th pick in every round (not a snake draft). My team;
C - M. Montero 1B - Konerko 2B - Pedroia 3B - Zimmerman SS - OF - Ellsbury OF - Hamilton OF - Jennings OF - Bourjos DH- IF - Bench - Harper
SP - Gio SP - CJ Wilson SP - Gallardo SP - Romero SP - RP - Putz RP - League RP - P-
These are the top 20 players available. Who should I target? (Number is parenthesis is overall rank)
I'm assuming McCann, Pujols, Tex, and CC will be taken. After that it's a crap shoot. Was thinking of targeting Rollins, Kendrick or Young with my 1st pick. the grabbing BA player after that. Seem like a plan or would you go another route?
C - McCann(60), Mauer(106) 1B - Pujols (3), Tex (32), M. Young (2B,3B) (68), Ike Davis (98) 2B - Kendrick (OF) (46), Weeks (97) 3B - Youkilis (56) SS - Rollins (63) OF - Victorino (67), Crawford (77), Werth (80) SP - CC (36), A. Sanchez (101), Scherzer (128), Jimenez (129) RP - Axford (99), Rivera (104), Papelbon (112)
Rollins is a logical choice since you need a SS. If he's not that I would target Michael Young. He'd plug into your IF spot pretty well and give you some flexibility if you should loose Zimmerman or Pedroia for any period of time.
With SS thin, I'm now thinking he might be selected by the time my pick comes around.
So do I go with Young or Kendrick (I like the flexibility they offer), or Youkilis (like the power, but injury prone), or do I grab one of the OF's? Who would be your top 3-4 After Pujols, Tex, McCann, CC and Rollins?
