        The OS re-draft is in full effect. Just started with the Mets again. Got the 22nd overall pick and scooped up Donaldson (1st rd) & Votto (2nd) to start things off. I have a feeling this team will be very similar, yet very different - as I enjoyed playing with my originally drafted Mets squad. I’ll post an update upon completion of the draft with the 25 man, top prospects (10-15) to include a little “story” about where they are in the org, and highlight a few key minor league players as well.

          How do budgets work in fantasy draft? Is your budget for year 2 based on year 1? I’m thinking of adding a couple of high priced guys late in the draft to to increase payroll.

            Opening Day

            Well as I had assumed, the release of OS forced my hand in re-drafting my team! (As usual lol). Well, having played about 10 games with my old squad, and having a ton of fun with them, I wound up picking a bunch of guys I had originally drafted, to go along with some new ones. I wound up with the 22nd pick, and scooped up Donaldson and Votto with my first two picks. Heres a look at "Mickey's Mets" 25 man roster for opening day:

            Lineup
            2B Kingery (R)
            CF Gardner (L)
            3B Donaldson (R)
            1B Votto (L)
            LF McCutchen (R)
            RF Bruce (L)
            C Flowers (R)
            SS Hardy (R)

            **Side Note - I drafted McCutchen in the 4th round, and switched his position to LF after the draft. Gardner was also position changed to CF manually.**

            Top Ten Prospects

            1: SP Chance Adams (R) 23 years old / 65 Overall / A potential
            2: SS Kevin Newman (R) 24 years old / 65 Overall / B Potential
            3: SP Miguel Almonte (R) 24 years old / 64 Overall / B Potential
            4: 3B Drew Ellis (R) 22 years old / 62 Overall / B Potential
            5: RF Austin Slater (R) 25 years old / 62 Overall / B Potential
            6: SS Chesney Young (R) 25 years old / 65 Overall / C Potential
            7: SP Mitchell White (R) 23 years old / 61 Overall / B Potential
            8: SP Garrett Williams (L) 23 years old / 60 Overall / B Potential
            9: CF Steven Duggar (L) 24 years old / 63 Overall / B Potential
            10: CF Dustin Fowler (L) 23 years old / 58 Overall / C Potential

            **Overall we failed to draft any "Prime-Time" prospects, aside from Scott Kingery, who I chose to not count as he is on the opening day roster, and locked up until the end of time. This is an interesting group though, and I like where we are at going forward.**

            Key Minor Leaguers
            SP Nate Karns (R)
            SP Wade LeBlanc (L)
            SP Kyle Gibson (R)
            RP Sam Dyson (R)
            RP Matt Harvey (R) *
            RP Tim Lincecum (R) *
            2B Phil Gosselin (R)
            2B Brock Holt (L)
            LF Mikie Mahtook (R)
            RF Hernan Perez (R)

            * Both Matt Harvey, as well as Tim Lincecum were drafted in the later rounds (50-60 I believe). After the draft I edited Harvey's position to RP, which greatly dropped his rating. Never the less he will be the set-up man in AAA, in hopes I can move him into the big league pen as the season progresses. Both of these pitchers will be story-line type guys in the minors for me.

            Outlook

            Well, overall I would give myself a solid B on this draft. The first season looks to be the most important, as we have a ton of veteran players (2/3 of the outfield as well as our 3b will all be free agents at years end). The minor league system looks pretty decent at this point, although there are no big time prospects to fill in any holes that may incur during free agency. With that said, I am SUPER excited to get things going with this team.

            One last thing, the CPU provided these ratings for the team:
            Overall: 1st
            Pitching: 5th
            Defense: 7th
            Speed: 22nd
            Contact: 13th
            Power: 11th

            Season Opener

            The Mets open up the year at home, against the Cardinals, and it doesn't look like it will be easy, as the Red Birds boast a formidable rotation. That being said, if we can get into their bullpen, we may be able to exploit it.

            Game 1: John Lester (L) vs Stephen Strausburg (R)
            Game 2: Marcus Stroman (R) vs David Price (L)
            Game 3: Drew Pomeranz (L) vs Cole Hamels (L)

            Cardinals Lineup
            CF Dee Gordon (L)
            SS Xander Bogaerts (R)
            1B Eric Hosmer (L)
            LF Kris Davis (R)
            C Yadier Molina (R)
            3B Martin Prado (R)
            RF Kyle Tucker (L)
            2B Glyber Torres (R)

                    Looks like it should be a pretty fun squad to roll with. First impression, in my opinion of course, is that you seem to be missing the obvious 1-2 “cornerstone” players. Aside from Benintendi and maybe Josh Hader? Those guys stand out as big pieces to me of the franchise.

                    Anyway, team still looks good

                      Well, I just played my first game.

                      I won 4-0. Was going for the shutout with Robbie Ray and he tore his rotator cuff 1st pitch into the 9th inning. He’s out over 6 months, sigh lol. Josh Bell went 4-4 with a RBI and Austin Hedges went 1-4 with a 3 run homer.

                          Glad to see drafts starting up in earnest!

                          I successfully transferred The Matheny Manifesto Year 3 and got the new 2018 schedule.

                          The Red Birds coming off a heartbreaking NLCS game 7 loss made one move of note in the off-season signing veteran pitcher Rich Hill to a one year deal. Ender Inciarte won his arbitration hearing and will be making 5.6MM in 2018.

                          Ender is disgruntled and on the trading block as the Red Birds are looking to move him for the right deal.

                            For sure totally forgot about Baez lol. Rough break with losing Robby ray! I had a scare in my first game when Lester left the mound in the third inning. Luckily it was just a strained oblique - I was terrified! Haha

                              Yeah injuries are a struggle lol.

                              I just finished my first Series vs the Rays. We split the series. Austin Hedges surprisingly did the best in the four games he had 4 home runs which leads the AL and 7 RBIs lol. That was unexpected, but hell I hope he keeps it up

                                Well we dropped the series 1-2 to open the season....

                                Things started out strange and continued to get stranger. In game one, Cole Hamels strained his oblique in the third inning. Kris medlen came on in relief and earned the win.

                                The next two games - both Stroman and Pomeranz were destroyed by the cardinals and the long ball.

                                The biggest problem on offense is an inability to drive in runners in scoring position. Case in point, bases loaded no outs in game three (final score 9-3) and the score is 5-0. Donaldson, Votto, & Cutch all go down without pushing a single runner across the plate.

                                Here’s to hoping for some better performances!!

                                Next up: the Mets host the Phillies for three games. Here’s the matchups on the mound

                                Game 1: Brandon McCarthy (R) vs Wei-Yin Chen (L)
                                Game 2: Zach Godley (R) vs Steven Matz (L)
                                Game 3: Jon Lester (L) vs Jacob deGrom (R)

                                Phillies Lineup:
                                2B Eduardo Nunez (R)
                                CF Gregor Blanco (L)
                                LF Michael Brantley (L)
                                RF Domingo Santana (R)
                                C Wilson Contreras (R)
                                1B Lucas Duda (L)
                                3B Matt Dominguez (R)
                                SS Wilmer Difo (S)

                                ** should I keep adding these series by series update & outlooks / rosters for the opposing teams? Or would you guys prefer not to have that added? I just find it a little more interesting that way. Let me know
