Who is your first pick in a fantasy draft?

[Dolenz]

I went with the Cardinals for my Franchise so they had the 25th pick so I went with Yasiel Puig as my first pick.

It would be a toss up between Mike Trout or Jose Fernandez. Both would be good picks, but also a tough decision. After the first pick, if you wanted to go real young, and are using OSFM, you can draft all the A and B potential prospects because they won't get taken for a while.

That's actually a pretty interesting idea, would probably suck for a year or 2 but then nothing but up ideally.

really, havent done a fantasy draft yet, just been messing with RTTS for the 1st time and enjoying it. I usually despise solo career modes where you just control 1 player, but I really like it.

Well for any championship team you need good hitting and pitching, as well as fielding. Otherwise you aren't a championship team.

I did a pretty crazy fantasy draft yesterday.

I don't remember the lineup order but here are the players I have:

Hitters
C - Salvador Perez
SS - Jose Iglesias
1B - Paul Goldschmidt (traded two prospects to get)
2B - Daniel Murphy
3B - Manny Machado
LF - Oscar Taveras (traded one prospect to get)
CF - Ben Revere
RF - Yasiel Puig

Starters
Chris Sale
Michael Wacha
Julio Teheran
Danny Salazar
Zack Wheeler

I have JJ Hoover as my closer, and a few mid 70 and low 80 relievers. They have high 80's H/9 and K/9 ratings with decent amount of Clutch rating.

Drafted Prospects
Archie Bradley
Miguel Sano - traded
Carlos Correa
Noah Syndergaard - traded
Dylan Bundy - traded
Aaron Sanchez
Henry Owens


That's it. I feel guilty about my team though LOL. I drafted all those prospects which is kinda like cheating but I don't know. I should make some sort of ground rule that I can only take maybe 3 prospects and develop them.

The two players I REALLY wanted in my lineup were Puig and Goldy and my pick was 23rd I believe so I drafted Chris Sale and Puig in the first two picks, then went from there.

I traded away two good Starter prospects that I drafted to get Goldy simply because I really wanted him.

What do you guys think?

Yeah the fantasy draft logic is pretty wack. Braun/Stanton/JUpton all fall to the third round.

There is only one correct answer to this; Mike Trout.
