Re: Fantasy Draft Results Thread

Any general tips for a fantasy draft? Probably use OSFM v2 or the OS Hybrid rosters.

For me, draft an ace at number one. Then, draft 3 outfielders. That is my general setup, from there it changes.

I like the ace at number one, but completely disagree with the outfielders. You can get Harper in Round 4 and Upton in Round 5. No need to waste early picks on outfielders when you can hash out infield or get a franchise catcher. I usually go superstar/best available in Round 1 and then get my ace in Round 2.

I know I just enjoy it that way. Strategically, I wouldn't recommend it but I enjoy using teams like this.

Honestly, this years version favours offence, so if you want success your first 2-3 picks (at least) should be offensive powerhouses... I usually don't take a starter till the 5-6 round as any higher is just a waste... Get a Catcher early unless you don't mind being stuck with a rookie like zunino or d'arnard behind the plate... And be careful of your lefty/righty splits, it's quite easy to pick a few guys you like, then go to set your lineup and you have no power/contact against one or the other... And be sure to pick a big number contract like Kemp/Tulo, otherwise a few years in you might find your budget is too small... I usually pick kemp and swap him for trout, frees up about 20mil in cap space...

Re: Fantasy Draft Results Thread

Wanted to try a Fantasy Draft with the new OSFM Hybrid set. It's a lot harder to fill the team with A-Prospect, as most of them have been re-rated, and with some vets with lower OVR, the good young players are higher on the list.

I think I still did fairly good...nothing exceptional, but a solid base on which I can build my franchise. Here's my complete depth chart.

CLEVELAND INDIANS STARTERS
LHP - J.Santana
RHP - J.Cueto
RHP - Y.Gallardo
RHP - M.Pineda
LHP - F.Dubront (*)
LHP - J.Paxton (*)

* 5th starter spot will be determine after Spring Training.

Notables in the minors: J.Jurrjens (AAA), D.Betances (AAA), G.Cole (AA), C.Martinez (AA), K.Sampson (AA), C.Crosby (AA) and E.Cabrera (AA).

CLEVELAND INDIANS BULLPEN
LR - RHP - T.Rosenthal
MR - LHP - H.Santiago
MR - LHP - S.Freeman
MR - RHP - E.Sanchez
MR - RHP - A.Vizcaino
SU - RHP - C.Capps
CP - RHP - K.Jansen

Notables in the minors: B.Rondon (AAA) and Y.Medina (AA).

CLEVELAND INDIANS STARTING LINE-UP
SS - S.Castro
2B - N.Walker
LF - C.Gonzalez

Mat Latos
Homer Bailey
Wade Miley
Andrew Cashner
Matt Harvey

Bullpen
Brett Cecil (Long Reliever)
Trevor Rosenthal
Dixon Llorens
Rex Brothers
Bruce Rondon
Aaron Crow
Ryan Cook (Closer)

Starting Lineup
1. Starling Marte (CF)
2. Oscar Taveras (RF)
3. Bryce Harper (LF)
4. Giancarlo Stanton (DH)
5. Freddie Freeman (1B)
6. Salvador Perez (C)
7. Mike Moustakas (3B)

Notable Prospects
I have a bunch of A potential starting pitchers. 2 or 3 B potential catchers. 2 B Potential 1B. A few B potential 2B, 3B, SS and OF.

I got Latos, Harvey and Cashner in a trade for Kris Medlen, Zack Wheeler and Jon Schoop.

Does anyone else find that drafting an insane amount of top pitching prospects really easy?

I like all the platooning. You have some favorable matchups either way. Plus the pitching matchups. You got gio for lefties and Harvey (who could go the distance on any random day ) for righties.

Care to share your info on josmil pinto ?

Re: Fantasy Draft Results Thread

Have any of you guys noticed other teams keeping 9 relievers and only 2 bench players in your fantasy drafts?

Re: Fantasy Draft Results Thread

Hey guys first post here on the boards! Anyway I have been playing the show since 06 and have always done fantasy drafts. I always drafted the youngest available at every position and done a platoon of trades during spring training to tweak my team to my liking. This year I did my fantasy draft and did my trades (sat for about 4 hours trading). I cant even really remember my lineup to start but my rankings were 29th pitching. 5th defense. 9th offense. 14th overall. Now I am first in everything but defense I am 5th still.

SP rotation
Harvey
Bailey
Cobb
Luebke
Pineda

RP/SU/CP

I will have to edit, I am at work and cannot for the life of me remember my relief pitchers!

Lineup

C Benito Morales (74 overall) but can steal and has a decent arm
1B Mark Reynolds
2B Josh Rutledge
SS Asdrubal Cabrera
3B Kung Fu Panda
THIS IS WHERE I LOVE MY TEAM
RF Giancarlo Stanton
CF Mike Trout
LF Bryce Harper

Bench is weak

LF De Aza
RF Dom Brown
C Castro from the astros
1B Logan Morrison
2B freddie Galvis

Welcome! I think DeAza is a great option to have. He had a great defensive WAR last year. Lomo can platoon Reynolds perfectly Galvis is a game changer with his glove. So at least you got something there. It's always good to have that defensive sub for late in games. Consider DeAza to late in games to keep trout and the others as close to 100% as possible. I went with a strong OF this year too. Giancarlo , Marte in CF, Harper and jay Bruce DH/4th OF. Also be prepared to switch your thinking going from a Fireballer Harvey to pitching Alex Cobb. Cool option to have tho. Keeps the chise interesting.

Re: Fantasy Draft Results Thread

Thanks man! I have always noticed that I am better at pitching so I rely more on the better players to hit with and deal with average to subpar pitching. Getting Harvey was a steal for me by adding a low 80s pitcher into another trade and somehow the other team wanted to give him up. I am not complaining though . De Aza has definitely helped off the bench. I guess also I need to mention while I am not a noob of the show I definitely was never great at it and I only play on Vet pitching Vet hitting and All star fielding. I usually win most of my games as right now I am an unrealistic 32 and 5. But all that matters is I am having fun and I respect the heck out of the guys who can play HOF and legend and have fun!

That's a very good team in my opinion. Will definitely give you challenge and fun!

This thread made me to start another franchise using fantasy draft.. To play besides my other Angels franchise. I usually when drafting, I either get superb offense + yuck pitching or vice versa lol. But now with the OSFM It's going to be interesting. I'll post my results later
