Id get rid of Cain and Escobar as well.

Load up on arms. Lot of injury risks for your starters.

I don't like Trumbo, but the rest of your lineup I like. Who'd you take with your first pick?

Guess

 

[#1BostonFan]

Not bad, but lacks enough pitching. Also what site is this?

 

[bksballer89]

I mainly got Cain & Escobar late in the draft to pick up steals for me. Don't have any base stealers outside or Revere

How did this draft start BK?

I ask because I noticed I got Miggy without being there.

I chose Goldschmidt over Miggy.

I had 4th and I believe you had 5th.

First 3 were Trout, McCutchen, & Kershaw

 

[broncosmitty]

Idk.

Cano? Stras? Goldy?

But part of me thinks it could be Tanaka. Or even Betances. (It's a toss up after the top three in the draft IMO. And you have three guys Id include in the group of possible toss up eligibles.)

You have several guys that are still just getting to, or are in their early prime. Upton, Castro and Longoria were hot commodities real recently.

Pretty good first three rounds BK.



At least I didn't end up with Darvish and Stromen.

That's a real nice first three picks.

My thing with Cain is he's pretty one dimensional. Like Revere. I think you could stuff more cats with arms than speed guys. I like Escobar, but would have a hard time keeping a backup ss without a MI spot.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Escobar is actually the reason you don't draft Castro. A solid arm in that round and I'd like this team even more.

I wonder if you can move Castro and Trumbo for a multi-cat OF, move Carter to U?

And yes, drop Cain for a good arm.

C Weiters
1B Miggy
2b Mookie Betts
3b Frazier
SS Peralta
OF Ellsbury

bench
Torri Hunter
Matt Adams
Kyle Seager
Chase Utley
Matt Carpenter

I already dropped Hunter, Adams, and Carpenter. I picked up Porcello, K Rod, and Gregory Palanco.

 

[Chef99]

Yikes, just looked at my team. didn't draft a second baseman or closer.

Already set up my Trading Block.

^^^ this is the best post in this thread... I agree 100% and it is clearly BKs blunder for this draft... But despite that he did have a very good draft, but in a 10 team league there is going to be a lot of loaded teams, and a blunder like this could hurt a lot... Hopefully BK can fix this by trading castro...

 

[bksballer89]

I replaced Cain with Jason Hammel who should be good with an improved Cubs squad.

Will be working teams for a trade with Castro/Trumbo

Did you do the prerankings?

 

[Chef99]

Did you do the prerankings?

Nope, didn't have time, hence Stroman. Pretty safe to assume I picked high, since I got Trout.
