Did a yahoo public H2H, 5x5, 12 team mixed draft last night; tried not to focus on filling needs (invevitably still did to some extent) and more on value.
Had a busy day, pulling off a few trades. Have a look & comment on what you think should be done next:
Drafted Pending trade approval
c Posada
1b Teixeira
2b Soriano -------------> Loretta :-I
ss Rollins
3b - none - ------------> A Ramirez

of C Lee --------------> Edmonds :-I
of Wilkinson
of Ibanez
dh Bonds --------------> Pujols

other Cuddyer
other - none - -------------> Hidalgo
(I had one other draft "mistake", C Wilson, which I will drop and look to waiver wire when it opens)
SP AJ Burnett ----------> none / gone :-(
SP J Smoltz -------------> J Vazquez :-(
SP L Hernandez
SP Od Perez
SP Radke
SP J Weaver
SP Leiber
SP Pineiro
RP Lidge
RP Wagner --------------> none / gone :-(
RP Hawkins
Net / net, I had a hole at 3B and a surplus of 2nd / 3rd tier pithcers; I filled the hole at 3B and had some upgrades
Gave up: Soriano, Bonds, C. Lee, Wagner, AJ Burnett and Smoltz
Got: Pujols, Edmonds, A Ramirez, Loretta, plus Vasquez & Higaldo
I recognize that there are some serious minuses in the pitching area; I still think the ones remaining, although none are super studs, they'll do fine.
Most importantly, I get Big Albert.
What do you think?
Thanks for the input....
