Thanks, I was originally going to pick up a pitcher or two here, but I just couldn't pass those two guys up as I almost picked them last time it was on me. Last edited by Danny : 03-11-2012 at 06:43 PM. |

PM sent to TRO. Utley was another I was considering. He's not as bad as he was last year and I already have a half broken 2B so I could probably put them together to make a full 2B SI

When I last picked, there was a good supply of 2B left to be had, so I waited. Oops.

9.4 SP Daniel Hudson, ARZ
I think in the last few picks, quite a few bargain "old guys" off the board- and I'm including Butler, who is young, but has "old man skills" and people seem to think have peaked. A lot of the fantasy baseball masses seem to draft solely on potential and not production so I think there are good bargains to be had. In this league, I always see MizzouRah with that pattern- he drafts a pile of guys who had off years and some continue to decline but a lot bounce back. He never has the hot young prospects that are out there but goes for a team of steady veterans. Problem is, he reaches like 3 rounds to have every Cardinal on his team so that pollutes the player pool ("David Freese in round 9! SOLD!") SI

Ok, I'm feeling pretty good at grabbing a pitcher at the start of the run rather than at the back end

That's the bad thing about having an end pick. I like the double pick, but so many runs can happen. Still I have a few pitchers and hitters out there I like for my upcoming two picks.

Casey Kotchman, circa 2007, come on down!
I'm going to be in meetings the rest of the morning so I probably won't be able to check until after noon. However, I doubt we'll get back up to me by then. SI
