Fantasy Draft Results Thread

[JC3]

My best estimates for you in bold, I have not tracked all these guys, especially not Gattis and the rest will depend on what rosters you are using etc... Hope this helps though...

EDIT: The best thing to do, if you have a few guys you want to target, is do a practice run and press recommend player when it's your choice and pick the player the CPU chooses this will get you as close to accurate as possible then just write down when each of them goes for when you do it for real, players will generally always fall within 5 or so picks each draft, usually only affected by your choices...

Thank you so much man. I plan on doing that now. Like one of your teams back in the thread I plan on creating myself as a young short stop. Should be fun.

Re: Fantasy Draft Results Thread

I was watching the subway series last night and i thought "this series isnt that good anymore. I want 2000 back" So I figured that I would do a fantasy draft with the yanks and mets and try and have them meet up again in the series. So I did it this morning, some notes beforehand: Salary cap off, and I saw someone else come up with this idea, blanking on who it was, cause they deserve some credit, but I moved all closers to RP so kimbrel isnt going 8th overall, is it a little unfair? maybe, but I like the results better. so here are the teams:

Yankees picked 1st overall, mets 21st

Mets:
1b : Mark Trumbo
2b: jedd gyorko
3b: Pablo Sandoval
ss: xander bogaerts

Yeah it's fun creating myself, I'm not a fan of rtts mode as the CPU sucks at lineups/roster moves and trades... If you create your guy and he comes oh about 80-85 he should go somewhere I round 8-12ish I that helps... Look forward to your results...

Two good young teams, you haven't included a catcher for the yanks, which is actually vital, I like the yanks rotation better and depending on who the catcher is I may also favour their lineup, the bullpens are both stacked but it hunk that Kimbrel gives the yanks an edge again... Do keep us updated though...

EDIT: the CP/RP idea was infact mine, I think it's great because it frustrates me to see the CPU use an awesome pick in the first round on a guy who'll give them 70 or so innings a season, when they could get a guy like Trout, Cutch, Tulo etc who are going to be playing everyday... I honestly don't think Starters should go in the first round either, I mean some of them are great but again they're only playing every 5 days meaning they'll play around 30 games a season... That's just my opinion though and I've found your better off picking guys you like even if they aren't as good as some of the other options as its more enjoyable that way...

it seems like every draft i do i always forget a catcher, because if i cant get posey mauer or wieters i usually go to another position and forget about catcher, so thats definately a position i need to upgrade, i didnt try and favor one team or the other (who am i kidding, of course i sent kimbrel to the yanks instead of the mets) but yeah, it was hard to pick with the mets, 21 isnt a good location, your too far away to get a top 15 player and your not far enough back to have that combo of picking really close to one another

I'm getting set to do my draft in about 4 hours. I'll post as soon as I'm done. Couple of warnings. It will probably be very young and not so much stacked.

He has filthy stuff. i want to eventually move him into the rotation though, maybe for Julio.

Definitely agree on his filth. That's why I generally move him to the rotation. He is nasty.

As you can see my team is built on speed and raw talent. I have a couple position battles going. I have to narrow down my starting 3 outfielders as well. The only lock is Fowler. There will probably be a lot of platooning.

Strong rotation, great bullpen and exciting young lineup, I love it haha... Definately keep us up to date with how your season progresses...

I'm kinda proud of myself as I didn't make any trades. First game on spring. My offense gets hot. We hit 4 homers including a 473 ft bomb from middlebrooks. However, my bullpen sucked. When I say sucked I mean it. Josh Johnson goes 5 giving up 2. I bring in my dual of Hembree and Rondon in the sixth.
THEY COMBINE TO GIVE UP 8. DOWN 10-9. Jacob Turner gives up 3 in the seventh. Carlos Martinez gives up a solo shot in the eighth. Going into the ninth down 14-9. Grandal tacks on a run from an rbi double but it wasn't nearly enough.
Overall I'm very proud of my offense. I was shocked at 10 runs. I'm not worried about my pen because those runs weren't the core of my pen. Also it was only spring so whatever.

Yeah there are definately some balancing issues still in this years game, it's why almost all of my teams are offence heavy, coz it doesn't seem to matter who I put on the mound I'll get similar results... Hopefully those guys can turn it around by season start though...

[Pete_Dogg_18]

Re: Fantasy Draft Results Thread

A few posts back a guy decided to draft for both the yanks and mets, which got me thinking, I can draft well against a CPU, I can draft well against my mates, but how well can I draft against myself... The foreseen problems being that I always had specific targets in specific rounds but how would I go having to take two players per round and fill two rosters... This was slightly relieved by the fact that I chose to do a pitch heavy team in Seattle's Safco Park, and a hitter heavy lineup in the always hitter friendly confines of Colorado's Coors Field... Here's my results... (sorry in advance for the long post)

Colorado Rockies - The Power

Rotation
Jamie Garcia
Daniel Hudson
Derek Holland
Michael Pineda
Danny Hultzen

CP Neftali Feliz
Aaron Crow
Jonathan Broxton

James Russell

3B Mike Olt
2B Jedd Gyorko
RF Dominic Brown
CF Mason Williams

Noteable Prospects
SP Tyler Skaggs
SS Javier Baez

Young talented and hopefully good enough to take advantage of Coors, with hopefully a rotation and bullpen to out up some decent numbers...

Seattle Mariners - The Rotation

Rotation
Justin Verlander
Madison Bumgarner

Bench
C Devin Mesoraco
2B Nick Franklin

Noteable Prospects
SP Archie Bradley
SP Casey Kelly
SS Addison Russell
2B Gordon Beckham

Stacked rotation should make scoring hard in Safeco... Hopefully enough young talent in the lineup to put up enough runs to support those guys...

It's hard to say which is my favourite, probably the Rockies by a hair, only because I prefer a stacked lineup to a stacked rotation... Let me know what you guys think, which is your favourite???
