Actually, you couldn't be more wrong. You willingly admit that he is a legit 20-20 and then say he is worthless?

You don't need to have over 100 RBIs to be a fantasy contributor...by your logic there were only about 10 players who had value last year. His career AVG is well above .250.

His final line this year should be something like .270 with close to 20-20 and about 80 RBIs. I'll take that from Round 6-on any day.

My point as I said in my post . He is OVERRATED !!! There are at least 30 outfielders I would take before Werth. Including guys like Morrison, Crisp and Tori Hunter. YES maybe Werthless was the wrong term but OVERRATED isn't.
My projections for him are far below what he did two years ago. I don't see him breaking .260/70/70/15
We can all do much better than that in the fifth round.

Crisp will at least pile on the SBs, but Morrison and Hunter provide no more value than Werth does, and I would be more than happy to be in a draft with you where you take Morrison and I take Werth.

Well, we had our draft and to my surprise, McCann was not kept by the manager ahead of me, he picked Wieters, so I pocketed McCann, and grabbed Garza with my second round pick.

Thanks for your help

McCann was a nice pick, but i think you could have better then Garza.

To the Werth hater, he is a solid rebound pick.

The only two SP's that were worth picking at that point were Beckett and Lubke. I am a Cubs fan, and that played into my decision I am sure.

Thanks
