re: Baseball: Deepest positions

Wanna bet?!?!?!

the only shallow position this year is SS.

you didnt know he was talking 8 team league until after your comments

Yes, everyone finishes first in an 8 team league.

Every team should be stacked if the owners arent maygars

get the frick out w/ that shite. the only position that goes 8 deep w/ elite talent is pitching. all other positions have tiers. yes every team will be stacked compared to a team in a 16 team league, but to say that every position is 8 deep and the players are all going to produce the same is retarded as shite

Catcher- Mauer, VMart, Posey, McCann, Santanna, Soto, Napoli, Montero... there are 8 guys who won't be much different in most cats

1B- Pujols, Teix, Votto, Howard, Miggy, AGon, Prince, Morneau, Dunn, Morales, Konerko, Youk.. 12 elite 1B, 8 teams

2B- Kinsler, Uggla, Cano, Pedroia, Utley, Weeks, Phillips, Prado... 8 stud 2B

3B- Longo, Zimmerman, Wright, Arod, Bautista, Beltre, Aram, McGehee, Reynolds, Alvarez.. 10 3B

SS- Hanley, Tulo, Reyes, Rollins... weakest position. half the league gets elite guys

OF- too many to list

SP- too many to list

RP- too many to list

Of course there are tiers. There would be tiers even if it was a 2 team league. Someone has to be the best. These guys are elite for their position, which is why your silly maygar 8 team league will suck. It's for people who don't know shite.

exactly, thats why its all relative. it might sound funny for someone in an 8 team league to say there are shallow positions, but i would rather have mauer instead of montero. the differences in stats between player 1 & player 8 are what would make a position shallow. don't know how this is hard to understand?

8 team leagues aren't for people who don't know shite, they are for people who only have 8 people who want to play. i didn't have to come to a message board and suck dick to get in a league.

Then every position is shallow. Someone has to have the best stats, naturally, and someone will be below him. You're picking straws.

You're going to blow a 1st round pick on mauer and I'm going to get montero in the 6th. You get slighty better stats and I get to spend my picks 1-5 on someone wholl make an impact.

Pretty much. In every league u look at the disparity of every position and decide which position is scarce, relatively. no one with a brain is taking mauer in the first round. the best example this year would be if u have the 6th pick and someone like tulo and votto are available. votto is slightly better in almost every category , but i'm gonna take tulo and take adrian gonzalez w/ my 12th pick. why? position scarcity.

I think you're right, though. it is easier for someone who doesn't know what they are doing to draft and have a good team in an 8 team league, but there are still strategies in an 8 team league.
