2nd pick keeper league(keepers in)

[Wrigley]

Keepers are in, and I've drawn the 2nd pick; 5X5(OBP) 1C 4OF+2UTL

My keepers

1B: Encarnacion, Ad LaRoche
SS: Desmond
OF: Jones, Willingham, Reddick, Eaton, Marte(view Eaton, Marte as worthwhile upside flyers)

SP: Sale, Scherzer
CL: Perkins

Here is who's been thrown back(I'm excluding pitchers as I'll be taking a bat with my first rounder)

Cano........top player left imo
Pujols.......down year and still put up great numbers
Fielder......Monster in DET OBP stud
Beltre.....guy keeps putting up numbers
Wright......never much of a fan, but guy can hit.
Reyes.....machine at week position(already own Desmond)
Ellsbury.......one trick pony, and I already have some steals
J Upton....love him, but the #2 pick?

I see Cano as the top player on the board......Would love to have him(don't know how other owner passes on him).

Question is, who's #2?

I've already got 2 1B on my team, does that deter me from taking Pujols?

[Captain Hook]

I would take
1) Cano
2) Fielder

even if Fielder locks up your UT, it is never wrong to have as many STUDS as possible

[Wrigley]

Cano did end up going first, so I took Fielder

12 team 5X5(obp)

How the team look?

C: M Montero
1B: P Fielder
2B: A Hill(via trade Melky)
3B: A Ramirez
SS: I Desmond
OF: A Jones
OF: J Willingham
OF: J Reddick
OF: J Pierre
UTL: E Encarnacion
UTL: A LaRoche
BN: D Brown
BN: S Marte
BN: C Headley
BN: C Hart

P: J Weaver
P: C Sale
P: M Scherzer
P: I Kennedy
P: AJ Burnett
P: M Rivera
P: G Balfour
P: G Perkins
P: D Storen
P: A Alburquerque

I'm pretty excited about this team, whatcha think?

I think the offense looks terrific GOOD JOB

Presuming you play all ten pitchers is there a reason you only have five SP?
Storen contributes nothing and Alburquerque not much more unless he gets some saves BUT do you need them with Rivera/Balfour/Perkins?

Sort of solves the question you posted elsewhere

Sorry Captain

We play 7 pitching slots with a season limit of 1300 innings

Guess I got a little carried away taking relievers(really shouldn't drink so much at the draft)

Still perfect opportunity to dump Storen and pick up Lohse (if this is the same league)

[Wrigley]

Same league, but I'd be giving up the #2 waiver priority.

Are there any Trouts/Harpers coming down the pipe this year?

Are there any Trouts/Harpers coming down the pipe this year?

1) I don't play in waiver wire leagues - even combo leagues ... is there a way to get the guy without using your #2 slot? I would likely hold the #2 in case you have an injured hitter OR there is someone to pick up (repeat this question in Platinum and I might have a name for you)

2) Trout and Harper were generational players but for a while people will remember them and be over hyped on the next generation. Best two hitters coming are
2) Wil Myers, OF, TB due up sometime in May/June but NOT Harper/Trout stats
1) Oscar Taveras, OF, STL, better hitter than Myers but likely not up until/IF late in the year

Turns out that it's a non-issue.

Lohse was drafted but wasn't in our leagues database yet(he's been added to his team) Both Myers and Taveras have been drafted also.
