Just finished a live draft on CBS. It's probably my last draft before the season starts. I have so many teams now, I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep them straight. This league is a 10-team, H2H league. Unfortunately, I had the #1 draft position again. I hate drafting first because it's so long before you get to draft again in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc. rounds. So here's my team. I'm not real happy with my pitching staff but maybe I'll be lucky and some young upstart will have a great start and I'll be able to pick him up on the waiver wire....or maybe I'll be able to make a trade somewhere along the line. Any recommendations/suggestions are appreciated.
Here's my team, by round drafted:
- C - Ivan Rodriguez (12th round)
- 1B - James Loney (11th round)
- 2B - Brandon Phillips (3rd round)
- 3B - Alex Rodriguez (1st round)
- SS - Edgar Renteria (13th round)
- OF - Magglio Ordonez (2nd round)
- OF - Manny Ramirez (4th round)
- OF - Hunter Pence (10th round)
- U - Corey Hart (16th round)
- SP - Roy Oswalt (6th round)
- SP - Felix Hernandez (7th round)
- SP - John Maine (8th round)
- SP - Jon Garland (14th round)
- RP - J. J. Putz (5th round)
- RP - Joe Nathan (9th round)
- RP - Jason Isringhausen (15th round)
- Bn - Ken Griffey Jr. (17th round)
- Bn - Jim Thome (18th round)
- Bn - Gil Meche (19th round)
- Bn - Joachim Soria (20th round)
- Bn - Bengie Molina (21st round)
- Bn - Carlos Delgado (22nd round)
Griffey's, Thome's, and Delgado's "stock" has really dropped this year - Delgado for good reason, more so than the other two IMO. A few years ago, you'd have never been able to draft them so late.
