maybe I'm crazy....

So far....
1. Trout
2. Kershaw
3. Stanton
4. Cutch
5. Miggy
6. Abreu
7. Goldy
8. Altuve
9. Rizzo
10. Scherzer
11. Felix
12. Donaldson
13. OTC (guessing Edwin)
14. (guessing Bautista / Tulo / Rendon)

I'm still on Arenado. Thinking of pairing him with Cano now.

Add 200 at bats to his 430 last year. 18 HR is easily 25. R and RBI in the 60's turn into 90's. 40+ doubles in the bank and pushing a .300 average. Last year's numbers also came from the 6th/7th spot in the order. This year he'll see 3rd/4th (depending where they want Tulo). I'm all in.

Cano is still solid in a points league and although I'll miss Price, I lock up two bad positions. Not worried about missing the OF group here. Tulo is just too risky for me. Rendon has had injury problems in the minors and is dealing with a knee sprain so he's off my board.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Well, guessed right. Edwin and Rendon went.
I took Cano and Arenado. For shame! You guys couldn't stop me!

Who did you pass on??? At least you did go Cano, I like him there...

I personally would not have gone Arenado as I mentioned earlier, but he has enough upside to return value on that pick....

 

[TKOSpikes]

Post #41 was the actual first round.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

What pick did you have again??

 

[TKOSpikes]

15 (snake)

 

[MilkSpiller22]

15 (snake)

Which means you passed on Tulo to get arenado... And passed on some OF like Carlos Gomez, adam Jones and Bautista...

I like the cano pick, but with who was available I HATE the arenado pick... But again you were high on arenado, so you had to do what you thought you had to do to get him... I just think 3B is very deep this season, that I would be happy with the 15th best 3B...

 

[TKOSpikes]

Yup. Hence my thread title. I know I'm off the grid here...hopefully my plan works out.

What does the rest of your team look like...

 

[TKOSpikes]

Slow draft...only two so far

 

[TKOSpikes]

I love the depth at OF.

I'm alone that 3rd is too risky, IMO.

The old guys...Beltre, Longo, Wright and Aramis
The uncertain... Frazier, Davis, Zimm, Carpenter, Harrison, Panda
The boring...Seager, Plouffe, Headley, Moose
The young...Bogaerts, Castellanos, Semien, Bryant

I left Machado out because I'm targeting him for my CI...probably in round 5 /6. ..or 7/8 if I think I can.

Moose is looking like a spring training superstar...again.

And I love Arenado. Not sure if that's good or bad for you.

 

[MilkSpiller22]

But isn't Arenado part of the uncertain group?? and in a NON keeper do you care about picking old players, they tend to be safer even if they are more likely to get hurt...

 

[TKOSpikes]

Not to me. He improved everywhere last year. I expect that to continue. Plus his bump in the order makes him a sure thing in my eyes.

 

[Chef99]

Arenado stays healthy, he's a doubles machine. He's one of my current favorite players, so I'm biased, but the elite talent is there.

And boy, can that kid field...

 

[Chef99]

And before anyone says it, I know that fielding doesn't count in fantasy. Unless you have a Royals pitcher.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Just went Harvey / Tanaka at the 3/4 (45,46) turn!

Risky but could have two top 10 arms.

Very risky... especially with tanaka, you could have waited on him IMO... But the payoff is huge... again, not a move I would make, but i am very anti Pitching early...

 

[TKOSpikes]

With Reyes and Santana going right before me, I didn't like the value with the OF (Ellsbury, Upton, Springer) passed on Votto and Prince and Lester.
