Malman Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Guys, My on-line draft is taking place this week. Can anyone recommend some sleeper or rookie picks for me? Any thoughts on Bobby Crosby? Thanks! :notworthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMLinkinPark Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I picked Pat the Bat in the late rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Jason Phillips he gets to start practically every day because he is going to play first most of the time and he qualifies at catcher. So dont waste a high pick on a catcher because you think there isnt much depth. Wait to get one in a later round. I picked Phillips in the 21 rd(last round) of a 16 team league.

SorianoFanHFW Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 phillips is a very underrated player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTrizzle Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Cabrera has surprisingly been a late pick in all of my drafts Darren Oliver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 San Diego pitchers. Eaton, Peavy, Lawrence. They'll put up solid numbers and everyone forgets about them. Also, if you can, see if you pick up Edwin Jackson in the last couple of rounds. Should be a nice rookie addition to the starting half of the staff.

Beastie Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Also watch out for Sean Burroughs he had a decent year last year with a decent avg but with a 356 obp. He is now going to hit leadoff for a team with players like mark loretta, Ryan Klesko, Brian Giles, Phil Nevin, and Jay Payton. Should provide you with good runs, hits, avg and obp(if that is a stat) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Bobby Crosby is a beast.... but dont take him too early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malman Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions. Any thoughts on Kip Wells? How about some closers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramp Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 you want a sleeper closer? try Ryan Wagner of the Reds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Juanky Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Kip Wells is a solid pickup if you already have 2-3 high end starters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beastie Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 A good late round guy is jose valverde. Mantei has been rumored in many trade talks and very injury prone. Valverde would be the guy if he gets traded or hurt. Also if nothin happens to Mantei then Valverde is the setup man which will give you good ks((71 ks in 51 innings last year),era(2.02 era last year), whip(.99 last year), some wins, and occasional saves(10 last year) along with about 80 innings.

Malman Posted March 20, 2004 Author Share Posted March 20, 2004 I like Ryan Wagner and Joe Nathan also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanleylicious Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 I picked up Podsednik in a late round, he's often over looked but puts up superior numbers. Felix Heredia, Bo Hart, Terrance Long...all late round sleepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJC Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 Mathew LeCroy is Catcher eligable for the Twins and should start at DH if you dont land a top 5 catcher take him and be amazed with the production... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Guapo Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 you want a sleeper closer? try Ryan Wagner of the Reds totally agree with you there,i think this guy is going to be one of the next great ones.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SorianoFanHFW Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 burnitz. .875 ops on the road and now he's at coors. yikes. joe nathan, closer of minnesota had less than a era and 1 whip. rafael soriano might end up starting and if not guardado will probably lose his closer role.

catchoftheday Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 i got Nick Johnson in like the 18 round out of 27 Good OBP ... good pop ... doesnt strike out ... draws plenty of walks ... GREAT !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I've got Phillips, Byrd, and a possible suprise Konerko on my team. Byrd will be Utility until Nixon returns or Nixon may be traded but Byrd is in a very small group that is untouchable as I think he can very well be a 300 25HR guy and with Nixon, Abreu, Manny, Luis, and Juan "Computer pick" Gone(I'm thinking of releasing him outright), I have some awesome trade bait.
