ask me about fantasy baseball v.2007 - Page 44

chaseUdown · #**431** 03-29-2007, 11:13 AM

I don't know much about fantasy baseball and neither do most of my friends, but we got together and the majority decided to do an auto draft (wtf?). Anyway, it is 7x7: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, K, AVG, W, SV, K, GIDP, ERA, WHIP, K/9

How does this look beside the fact I will lose steals every week, so I am going to try to trade Lopez.

2. (19) Carlos Lee
3. (30) Joe Mauer

7. (78) Delmon Young
8. (91) Jeff Kent

11. (126) Brian Fuentes

Wow, no offense but that is a pretty bad draft.

You took Lee, Young, Kent, Pedro, Meredith, Giles way too early. Inge and Edmonds should NOT be drafted. I dont like drafting Wang at all, but with GIDP i guess he has more value, but with K/9 that is shot. I personally dont like taking Delgado there, i would wait and take a Giambi or Prince Fielder. Taking Dye where you did, he needs to pretty much replicate last year for that pick to have serious value. Outside of Howard at 6 and maybe Harden at 139 there are no picks i really like in this draft. Sorry bro.

Edit - Didnt see Auto Draft, well in that case, you got f'd. Make sure next time you prerank, and be thankful you didnt get Clemens and Liriano.

To what extent do people value Clemens? I see him as worthy of a top 200 pick, not exactly the arbatross that some people make him out to be. I project half a season (80-110 IPs) with an ERA in the low 3's, with a solid K rate. Is that overly optimistic?

The weird thing is I specifically remember ranking Sizemore like 12th on my list and somehow the computer took C. Lee over him. I am still pissed at that. Just another reason to hate auto drafts. Oh well.

Even with as overated as Tim Hudson is in the mainstream, hes still better in Fantasy then Doug Davis correct?

NT! · #**436** 03-29-2007, 02:26 PM

I was thinking of proposing the following trade - mentioned the situation above. Guy has to deal Ortiz.

I get: Ortiz, Jake Peavy
He gets: Cameron, Javier Vazquez, Rivera

Good deal for me right? Cameron is on my bench, I also have 4 outfielders ahead of him. Have Saito and can probably pick up Hermanson or someone on waivers if I need saves.

KUJustin · #**437** 03-29-2007, 02:38 PM

How do HUGE leagues affect values?

I'm in a league drafting tonight that is pretty standard except that there are 18 teams. Given my lack of feel for fantasy baseball can you help me with which positions have a significant change in value when we go this deep?

KUJustin · #**438** 03-29-2007, 02:42 PM

PS - It's a head-to-head league.

Is there any merit to the idea of pulling down some stud closers and just going for SVs, ERA, and WHIP each week? And then if that failed during the week you could at least stream pitchers to overwhelm the other guy on Ws and Ks. This would allow more picks for offense as well. I don't know, just brainstorming here.

thank god my league doesn't have veto's.

(to combat this, we have a sliding loser penalty. 1st - 3rd finish itm, 4th pay $50, 5th pays $60, 6th $70, etc. this prevents people from making horrible deals on purpose. I suppose we could have a problem with people cheating, but it's never happened and since we're all buddies I doubt it would happen)
