February 13, 200719 yr I'm the 9th pick overall Pick 5 Carlos Lee - Early 4 Figgins - Late 5 Baldelli - Late 9 Posada - Early 16 Barfield - Early 16 Crede - Late 19 Olsen - Late 21 For sure: Olsen.... and CLee, who I've seen go late 2nd most drafts. You dont even have to pick 5.. pick the ones that should be kept.
February 14, 200719 yr Olsen, Lee... Figgins, Baldelli and someone of your choice... if it were me, I'd say Crede I guess
February 17, 200719 yr i think you can do without posada. i'm not sure about the other one to dump, but i would dump barfield if i was you.
February 19, 200719 yr Author I'm not sure about Crede.. his OBP, or lack there of, scares me. Thanks for all the input
February 21, 200719 yr Olsen, Lee, Figgins, Posada Furcalchick is flat out wrong re: Posada. He's a top 5 player in his position. No one is going to drop Mauer, Pudge, or McCann so how do you improve the C position by letting Posada go?
February 22, 200719 yr Author I guess it just depends how much of a value pick it is.. his value fluncuates on most mock drafts I've seen. I agree hes a top player at his position.. but does that mean its a good keeper and would that value make up for not keeping someone else and getting a different player at C? Who knows.. I'd be a more productive person in this world if it werent for fantasy baseball.. i know that much. lol
February 22, 200719 yr I'd be a more productive person in this world if it werent for fantasy baseball.. i know that much. lol Amen! When I evaluate a keeper, I take a couple of things into account. The very first consideration I make is weather or not a player is among the elite at his position. Despite a short injury break, he finished top 3 in MLB in HR, RBI, and BB at his position. The rest of the guys you are looking at keeping are in MUCH deeper positions. If you keep Baldelli, for example, what are you gaining? OF is the deepest position in baseball. Chances are, someone is dropping a much better OF than Baldelli as it is and now you have a shot at him and aren't giving up a strong starter at the C position. But, that's just my take.
