Re: WHO IS YOUR FIRST PICK IN A FANTASY DRAFT.

I am thinking that how I draft will also be determined by how I want to play my franchise. If I am simming a lot then I just want to draft the overall best players for each position. If I plan on playing the games out then I might take a lesser player if they have better contact ratings, because that directly affects my ability to get hits.

Re: WHO IS YOUR FIRST PICK IN A FANTASY DRAFT.

I go Mike Trout and I dont think its even close.

Young, fast, hits for power and average and plays solid defense. Depending on how the draft was going, I might not even consider drafting a starter until the 3rd or maybe even 4th round.

Re: WHO IS YOUR FIRST PICK IN A FANTASY DRAFT.

Unlike everyone else I love to have a strong starting rotation in The Show. I normally go SP, best hitter available, SP, SP. There is such an advantage to every game if you have the better pitcher. I understand the philosophy of trying to outscore everyone, but I like going into a game knowing my pitcher will go 7+ innings and give up <2 runs

Re: WHO IS YOUR FIRST PICK IN A FANTASY DRAFT.

How does one starter on a 5 man rotation influence 34% of your games? I could be wrong but I believe it would be 20%.

33-34% in the postseason since teams usually cut to a 3 man rotation, but not that high in regular season.

It's 20, maybe slightly higher if you skip the 5th starter when getting an off day inbetween starts, but then that is negsted by the fact that the starter will rarely go 9 full innings.

To answer, if I have 1st overall I am taking Trout.

Yea I hear ya but I also want some decent defense, maybe one good 3rd or 4th hitter, then go SP for 4 straight picks. Maybe something like:

1st: SS (Simmons or Segura)
2nd: C (Rosario or Perez)
3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th: All SP's like Gerrit Cole, Matt Cain, Michael Wacha, and Shelby Miller ....or something along those lines

Then get some cheap contact hitters. I dunno ..maybe 4 SP's back to back is a bit much and I could get 3.

Will see how my draft is tonight.

Re: Who is your first pick in a fantasy draft?

Is there a in game guideline, as you draft, how many players you need at each position to fill out the rosters at all levels or should I find the info elsewhere first?

1st seems a little early for Simmons, way too early for Segura. and 2nd seems early for both Rosario and Perez. I was able to get Giancarlo Stanton late 2nd round the last time I did a fantasy draft, I think Rosario should be there a little later haha.

Re: Who is your first pick in a fantasy draft?

Definitely Mike Trout, pitchers can wait, as there are at least 30 aces that I could draft, and there's only one Mike Trout.

Re: Who is your first pick in a fantasy draft?

Personally? Trout, but for the sake of being different, how about Giancarlo Stanton. Power for days.

He would be my number 2 pick if Trout was off the board.

Pitching, Pitching, and More Pitching.

Definitely Trout!

Re: Who is your first pick in a fantasy draft?

Anything other than Trout is just wrong in my opinion.
