Let\'s Talk Fantasy Baseball
 
(Originally posted this in sports betting by mistake)

Who are your top 10 players for next year's draft? Here are mine (I may be missing a few players...this is off the top of my head):

1. A-Rod - Stock just went up with Damon signed, RBI total could go even higher, although SB's may drop

2. Pujols

3. Vlad - I think too much of a health risk to take # 1 or 2

4. Tejada

5. Manny - depends where he lands...

6. Texiera - keeps getting better and better and better

7. Soriano - Could be lower if he loses 2B eligibility

8. Santana - will continue to dominate

9. Cabrera - great keeper

10. Crawford - I think he could hit 20 - 25 HR to go with 50+ SB

IMO, just missing: Ortiz (losing Damon/Manny will hurt), Carpenter, Ichiro, Abreu, Sheffield

I can't see myself risking a first round pick on a player with that many health problems.

Craig Biggio is a solid player. Doesn't mean he's a "top sixer".

Please.

Who do you put in front of him? He's very young, hit over 40 HR's last year, is in a hitter-friendly ballpark and a stacked lineup.

Yeah,

Derek Lee and Michael Young should be in the top 10 over Soriano and Crawford, but Crawford is probably 11th.

1. Pujols
2. A-Rod
3. Vlad
4. Santana
5. Lee
6. Crawford
7. David Wright
8. Teixeira
9. Abreu
10. Jason Bay

Soriano and Cabrera would have been on my list at the beginning of the offseason, but both have been hit by negative environmental changes.

Lee had a great season, but I dont think it would be a stretch to say that someone with 80% of his production will be around in rounds 5/6/7.

I dont think I could take him in the 1st round.

How can you say Michael Young doesn't even deserve to be in the top 20? He was only the AL batting champ at .331 along with 25 bombs and 40 doubles at the SS position. He's a monster Fantasy baseball performer.

I'm a Yankee Fan and I'd rather have Young than Jeter.

I will play in a keeper league, as long as its free. I have never played in a keeper league so I have no idea what that entails.

I actually like the traditional stats.
It's fun trying to project players numbers not based on their skill, but based on their teammates, ballpark factors, etc.

Re: Let\'s Talk Fantasy Baseball
 
I definately would not take Tejada in the first round. I like Young over Tejada anways as he was ranked higher after last year. I think Tejada could be in the post steroid number drop off. Not to mention the Orioles are a terrible team. I predict them to look up at the Devil Rays by seasons end.

I also think that Soriano's value drops with the trade to the Nationals. He moves from a favorable stadium to an unfavorable one.

My current Top 10:
1. A Rod
2. Pujols
3. Vlad
4. Johan Santana
5. Teixera
6. David Wright
7. Bobby Abreu
8. Crawford
9. Lee
10. Ortiz.

Next 20 would consist of Young, Soriano, Cabrera, Manny, Tejada, Jason Bay, Pedro, Carpenter, Oswalt, Peavy, Felix Hernandez, Halladay. I try to get atleast one stud pitcher in my first 3 rounds with 4 of 5 top picks going to hitters.

Bugstud started one last year and ran it very well, if you need details on how to set it up, he'd probably be the guy to talk to.

I finished 2nd last year, but this year I bring the championship home.

Bonus Question: I have to pick 5 keepers from my team from last year, what 5 do you keep out of this group that I'm considering (14 team league, 25 man roster, standard yahoo scoring, C/1B/2B/SS/3B/OF/OF/OF/Ut/Ut/SP/SP/RP/RP/P/P/P/P)

Mark Teixeira
Gary Sheffield
Barry Bonds
Jake Peavy
Mariano Rivera
Francisco Rodriguez

i dont wanna get rid of any of them [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I drop KRod only because I dont like keeping closers. You can always get average relief late in the draft or during season when someone loses their job. Do you have another options in the hitting category?

Re: Let\'s Talk Fantasy Baseball
 
How about keeping 3 of these 5 from my team? My thoughts on keepers are in white: <font color="white">Young, Vlad, and Halladay</font>

Jorge Cantu
Placido Polanco
Brian Roberts - if he werent probably out for the first month

would be my next best offensive options.

so you can interpret that as me saying no, although I'd love to get Cantu in the draft again this year.
