Picking #5/14 in a 5x5 H2H
Posted on 3/26/17 at 7:29 am
Posted on 3/26/17 at 7:29 am
My plan for the first three rounds is:
Bryant/Goldschmidt
Correa/Seager
Stanton/Springer
Tell me why this is a bad plan.

Donaldson will have better numbers than Bryant. Correa and Seager will be gone by pick 23. Villar and Cespedes should still be available by pick 32.

So who is a good target at 23?
Posted on 3/26/17 at 11:13 am to Sheep
Stanton gets hurt every year and Springer will be the biggest bust of the year. Go Murphy or Odor man
Posted on 3/26/17 at 11:14 am to tigerbait3488
Hell even Dozier

Do you have an innings pitched minimum that you must hit? And how are the pitching spots set up? Meaning, is it SP and RP or just P?
Posted on 3/26/17 at 12:13 pm to Sheep
I like Encarnacion, Syndegard, and Marte around there.
Posted on 3/26/17 at 12:30 pm to GynoSandberg
2SP+2RP+3P
IP min is 25ish.

If Corea and Seager are gone by 23 that means a Scherzer or Bumgarner will likely be there for pitching; Murphy, Lindor, Encarnacion will be there for hitting. A small chance Freeman will be there at 23 but 3 or 4 pitchers would need to have been taken.
Possible of Stanton/ Braun falling to 32 because of histories...
ETA: someone would have reached for Springer if he isn't there at 32...

are strikeouts cumulative or k/9
Posted on 3/26/17 at 12:44 pm to GynoSandberg
Cumulative

It would serve you well to grab Kershaw at 5 if available. Then grab some hitting, then maybe grab the best pitcher who falls in the 4th or 5th RD. Every team is good in a 10 team league, you need to figure out where you are going to find that advantage every week.
Another good way for you to gain an advantage would be SB - Goldschmidt, Altuve, Trea Turner, Marte, Springer (will run more this season). Those guys will do everything else, the SBs are extra. You wont have to reach later to fill SB
Their numbers are nearly identical. Donaldson no longer has E5 protecting him in the order. Bryant has Rizzo plus he's eligible at two positions.
which is why he's falling in drafts. he used to be a top 10 pick kinda guy. risk is worth it if you can get him later
go on...
2B is so deep. I wouldnt get one too early. Wait for a guy like Jean Segura, another one of those guys who will give you SB as lagniappe
I wouldn't go in saying im gonna get X guy here or X guy there. Just have a plan and chose whoever fills it. It's hard to frick up early rounds. One thing I would say is dont get enamored with young, unproven guys. Don't totally neglect pitching; you don't have to be deep in 10 teamer, there will always be guys there. Make sure you get at least 3 good ones.

Thanks for the feedback. Does your advice change any for a 14 teamer?
My strategy has always been bats with my first 10 picks, except for a #1 in 4 or 5, and a stud closer in 9 or 10. Then I'll take 3 or 4 guys in SP tier 3 in 12-16.
Should I deviate in a 14 teamer?

i cant read
I still take Kershaw if he's there. If he's not, I abort SP til 3rd or 4th RD. Open up with a Betts, Arenado, Bryant, Donaldson, Altuve, Goldy - one of those. At 23 I'm taking best available hitter again, maybe a guy dropped that shouldn't have. Next round I'll evaluate what's there, again, if another hitter presents value I would take em and address pitcher next RD. If no hitter stands out I'll find my ace

Just wanted to follow up. Here are my results.
+
19. Yuli Gurriel
20. Jose Berrios
Either Snell or Berrios is headed for the NA spot.
I took it in the shorts. The guys picking right before me had me pegged. I counted six guys who were my 1A selection that went immediately before me. In round 10, I wanted to go Paxton/Richards/Gausman/Nola. THEY WENT IN THAT frickING ORDER THE FOUR PICKS BEFORE ME.
My pitching is terrible and I should feel bad.
Hold me.
Tell me this will all work out.

First 12 picks aren't bad, though not totally crazy about bregs and Bradley jr at those spots
The rest is just upside - odds say 1 of VV, cotton, renfroe, snell, gurriel, berrios really breakout. They will have stretches
You have good enough foundation to compete though

Yeah that sucks when that happens... one reason I hate snake drafts.
Picks 1 - 6 are solid... 7 - 13 I don't like. Not like they are bad players I just don't see a ton of upside. I can see an argument for Velasquez as a solid at 13 but the guy will not have an ERA below 4 or a Whip below 1.3. K's are about the only Cat you can hang your hat on.

I like the draft. Could probably use another solid starter, but that could be Cotton.
