Funny thing is when they were recruiting me for the football league they told me the league was full of peeps that didn't really know what they were doing and for the most part they were right (including myself for the first half of the season). Now they're telling me the same thing except now they are just adding another idiot.

Who's so great at 2b for the pirates?

LOL... the listed teams are for staff rankings (as in pitchers), nothing to do with 2b.

yeah.. that's shallow.

my advice would be to fill your infield early
Agree..............so Nolan or Altuve unless Trout is there at #2.................then it's just a crapshoot. Looks like the rules say there are no pickups but that can't be right. tSuicide BB League would be brutal as fuck. Think I'd rather be drafting in the middle to later rounds TBH, but it is only a 10 teamer.

Haha, no worries. I don't think it was getting any looks anyway.

As for Trout. I'm probably in the minority, but he would not be #1 for me in a 3 OF league. I would take Altuve and Arenado over him... but I would not argue the counter.

So from what I gather, last year Trout pretty much murdered this league last year where he cut his K's down but the year before with all those K's he was barely top 5.................and the chick that I'm drafting for owned him that year so yeah, she's not very high on him...........be nice to snag Altuve and maybe get Donaldson on the way back but just don't see him lasting that long.

10 teamer. Lots of Giants and A's homers...........and if it's anything like the Football League, they'll draft that way too.

you probably have a good shot at a SS coming back at 19... 22 will be tricky (assuming a snake draft), likely a big tub of OF to choose from, as the 3B (after five), drops down a notch or two. Also, probably a good spot to lock up one of those big staffs.

Stroman, Sanchez, Happ, Estrada and Liriano are pretty good. Offense behind them gives them W potential.

This is also just an attempt at tiers, not set in stone.

Finally, these are all my opinion. The rankings are not a generated list.

Back to my OP for a sec... I don't like Adam Eaton there and he won't come close if he isn't at the top of the lineup... which seems to be the case more often than not. Also, not so sure Josh Bell can break out this season... kind of a lame, consensus sleeper ranking on my part.

So here is the team I drafted. Not as bad as I thought I'd do but not a great team either. I think I reached pretty far for a few guys but did get some value late (I think). Bottom line: This is pretty much why I quit Fantasy Baseball.

1. Altuve
2. Carpenter
3. Marte
4. Segura
5. Cespedes
6. Giants Pitching
7. Freeman (Keeper)
8. CDavis
9. KDavis
10. Baez
11. Vogt
12. Cain
13. Calhoun
14. Mustakas
15. Weiters
16. Andres
17. Gardner
18. Rangers Pitching
19. Castellanos
20. Castro

the two Chris/Kris Davis's are great, but the one problem I see with your team is that you don't have much power...

So let me get this straight, you draft offensive players but team pitching... that's kind of weird... But I like weird...

Yeah, I think I took the -1 point for K's a little too far.
