If #1 takes Trout, I take Miggy

I love Trout, love him to death, but I have no problem getting 'stuck' with Miggy

This particular league has no individual pitchers, just entire team pitching staffs.

I'll post the results here.

I agree with you on not liking being stuck on one side of the draft, makes it easy for you to miss out when there is a run on a certain position.

Let's say the person with the first pick doesn't select Cabrera or Trout.

Who will you take if this scenario presents itself?

Good Luck in your draft tonight, Nasher!

makaveli66 · 02-21-13, 05:12 PM

I'd rather have Miggy. Trout will not have as good of a season as he did last season.

ttwarrior1 · 02-21-13, 05:29 PM

can always find stolen bases. Have to go with braun or miggy imo.

stevenash · 02-21-13, 05:44 PM

1	Miguel Cabrera (3B, U, DET)
2	Curtis Granderson (OF, U, NYY)
3	Ian Kinsler (2B, U, TEX)
4	Jay Bruce (OF, U, CIN)
5	Mark Teixeira (1B, U, NYY)
6	Washington Nationals (P, WSH)
7	Mark Trumbo (1B, OF, U, LAA)
8	J.J. Hardy (SS, U, BAL)
9	A.J. Pierzynski (C, U, TEX)
10	Ike Davis (1B, U, NYM)
11	Brian McCann (C, U, ATL)
12	Ryan Howard (1B, U, PHI)
13	Shane Victorino (OF, U, BOS)
14	Jhonny Peralta (SS, U, DET)
15	Peter Bourjos (OF, U, LAA)
16	Emilio Bonifacio (2B, OF, U, TOR)

stevenash · 02-21-13, 05:45 PM

McCann replaces AJ when he's 100 percent.

I got power at every mother freaking position. Plus the best staff in baseball

oiler · 02-21-13, 05:51 PM

gl but dont win anything on paper but have a good start

stevenash · 02-21-13, 05:59 PM

^
No paper doesn't always win, even though I didn't plan on a power laden team, I fell into it, and I like the looks of it.

ttwarrior1 · 02-21-13, 07:06 PM

like the national at 6
trumbo, mccann, miggy of course, tex, bourjos,
batting average might take a little hit

BigSpoon · 02-21-13, 07:35 PM

Pretty good looking roster on paper for a 12 team league. I also like the idea of having entire pitching staffs instead of individual pitchers. Cuts down on the total draft time significantly I'd imagine.

agree, better 2nd than 1st in this case, I think. .

dynamite140 · 02-22-13, 12:03 AM

Those are the 2 best hitters last year. Most likley it will be different. Watch out for Teixera and Cano.

What team and when was the first pitching staff taken?

soccerzyko · 02-22-13, 12:10 AM

Miggy, Trout, Cano are the top 3 in my opinion.

That is if Cano doesn't suck like he did in playoffs.

Grits n' Gravy · 02-22-13, 12:28 AM

Looks like a solid team. Good luck this season.

BigDeem5 · 02-22-13, 12:40 AM

Good luck nash..

Trout has to be the number one pick in any league

Depends on scoring system. If it is Rotisserie, then Trout is the OBVIOUS choice over Miggy. If it's based on raw stats then it's tougher. You can't pass up a 5-tool guy like Trout in a Rotisserie system.

BIGDAY · 02-22-13, 07:35 AM

Yah, first few always worry me. But looking back at my football leagues they've done fairly well.

Otters27 · 02-22-13, 08:30 AM

Good luck. I hope you get Miggy.

oiler · 02-22-13, 08:33 AM

think cano is on a downfall but everyone else looks solid

infamousbacardi · 02-22-13, 09:08 AM

Hard to imagine that can be anyone's draft in a 12-team league. Well done if so!!

yisman · 02-22-13, 09:24 AM

Granderson, Kinsler, Teixeira? not a fan

teixeira is an average fantasy 1B at this point

he's been crap as a Yankee anyway and he's turning 33 at the beginning of the season

bizarre draft. Three overdrafted but you did get some late which should've gone much earlier

these were steals:

11	Brian McCann (C, U, ATL)
12	Ryan Howard (1B, U, PHI)

Shortstop · 02-22-13, 05:38 PM

Nice looking roster you have there. Best of Luck this year!

Tex in the fifth round is where you should have drafted him. The first and second tier first basemen were gone.
Grandy will be around 40 homers this year.

Cano went fourth pick first round, Pedroia went second round, Kinsler in the third round is fine.

EmpireMaker · 02-23-13, 12:07 AM

Team looks decent I wouldn't have taken Bruce there and I'm not really a Hardy fan but you should do pretty well Good Luck

dynamite140 · 02-23-13, 12:16 AM

texiera has been very productive in regular season.

MexicanStallion · 02-23-13, 01:30 AM

Good luck on your season. Definitely worked yourself into a power hitting team. I've never done entire pitching staffs before. That is an interesting thought.

I don't like this personally.

me-first · 02-23-13, 03:16 AM

never played in a league with no individual pitchers..interesting format, think I'd rather draft pitchers though..good luck this year!

BIGDAY · 02-23-13, 09:26 AM

I predict your roster will get you a top 3 finsish. GL pal

MrZ · 02-23-13, 10:15 AM

Damn, looks very solid, good luck.
