DRAFT and Hold league - draft advice
Posted: February 6th, 2017, 4:22 pm
Ok - so first of all - let me say thanks if you reply and give any advice = it is appreciated.
SO I m in one of those draft and hold leagues - draft 50 players - no trades - no free agency - done these a lot over the last few years and i feel pretty confident that with this group of guys we have a good strategy is to go hard on pitching. The last 3 yrs - Our champion has always owned one of the big aces - (Kershaw/bumgarner/scherzer) and at least one more stud.
CAVEAT - this is a separate from NFBC - not looking to win the big prize - but it is exact same setup besides no big cash prize pool - smaller prize pool of course.
Here's what I did so far:
1 - SP Scherzer
2 - SP Sale
3 - OF Pollock
4 - OF/1B Ian Desmond
5 - RP Kimbrel
6 - 3B Todd Frazier
7 - OF Khris Davis
8 - 1B Carlos Santana
9 - SP Quintana
obviously - I have a glut of pitching and aside from 1 more RP - I dont plan to get much more pitchers till my hitting is almost full - and we do start 2 catchers - and I realize my bavg is going to be weak unless I take some guys to offset that
SO I guess my question is - do you think I should go after catchers next
(wieters, Vogt, McCann, rus martin, grandal, ramos) before they all get gone -
or should i focus on some bavg protection first
(L Cain, Piscotty, Zobrist?, pedroia?, Brantley? Adrian Gonzales?)
or continue to try to make up for the power i missed in rd 1-2 with power hitters?
like (duvall, brad miller, jay bruce, jake lamb)
thanks for any help....
