Message #8 of 252  *NEW* To :   All From :   The Olde English Ds   Subject :   1st ever baseball draft results Date :   2/19/06, 10:07am Hello Baseball Geeks, I just completed my first ever fantasy baseball draft and here are the results. I look forward to feedback from fellow baseball geeks. I’ve played fantasy baseball in the past, but never had a live draft before. Let me give the parameters of the league so there is a context to the team. The OEDs had the fourth pick in a 10 team league with a serpentine draft. The scoring is weekly head-to-head based on 21 categories. The hitting categories are R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG, OPS. For pitching the stats are W, L, CG, SHO, SV, BB, HLD, ERA, WHIP, K/9. So there are a lot of categories to take into account. Here are the results…hopefully this will be helpful to others in draft preparation. The round is listed 1st followed by the pick # 1. (4) M. Teixeira 1B 2. (17) C. Utley 2B 3. (24) R. Halladay SP 4. (37) M. Ensberg 3B 5. (44) M. Buehrle SP 6. (57) J. Mauer C 7. (64) J. Beckett SP 8. (77) J. Peralta SS 9. (84) K. Griffey Jr. OF 10. (97) C. Tracy 1B/OF 11. (104) M. Ordóñez OF 12. (117) J. Vázquez SP 13. (124) B. Jenks RP 14. (137) B. Hall SS/3B/etc 15. (144) B. Wickman RP 16. (157) M. Mussina SP 17. (164) W. Taveras OF 18. (177) B. Radke SP 19. (184) C. Shelton 1B 20. (197) J. Dye OF 21. (204) G. Maddux SP 22. (217) J. Verlander SP 23. (224) B. Penny SP 24. (237) P. Lo Duca C 25. (244) A. LaRoche 1B 26. (257) J. Washburn SP 27. (264) M. Jacobs 1B 28. (277) T. Glavine SP 29. (284) R. Aurilia SS/2B Thoughts… OE -------------------------------------------------------- Go Tigers!!! -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #8 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 6985 reads This message has been added to these BGEEKS Blogs: The Olde English Ds's Blog

You were able to get Utley with the 16th pick? SWEET. I really like this team. You major hole is the Holds category. In the end, I think you did very well. Let's hope that Halladay and Griffey stay healthy the whole year! If so, you are looking very good. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #10 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 6833 reads

Message #12 of 252  *NEW* To :   The Olde English Ds's Blog Thread From :   Ghost of Chet Lemon   Subject :   Re: 1st ever baseball draft results Date :   2/21/06, 5:46pm Not a bad draft at all. The one thing I would worry about is the health of your top starting pitchers. Beckett, Halladay, Mussina, and Penny all spent significant time on the DL last year. Probably took Bill Hall a little early too, considering he's know gonna play the "Shane Halter" role with Fielder at First, Weeks at Second, Hardy at Short and Coskie at Third. On the plus side, Dye was a steal in the twentieth round, Taveras is primed for a great year, and Peralta is going to be a monster in the middle of that Cleveland line-up. You still won't beat me though • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #12 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 8078 reads
