Top 100 films of the 00s - The Top 5

: Mon Feb 28, 2011 12:36 pm  
C - McCann (think I drafted him too early)
1B-Votto (was trying to avoid him because I wanted Bruce and Stubbs from the Reds or Philips)
2B-Kinsler (needed some AL batting and got him reasonably low I think too)
3B-McGehee (has better stats than Longoria since becoming a regular starter and will bat behind Braun and Fielder)
SS-Tulowitzki (too good to pass up at as my second draft pick)
2B/SS-Wigginton (plays three IF positions)
1B/3B-Peralta (my SS cover and is expected to improve this year)
OF-Bruce (could top 30 homers this year, constant year-on-year progression)
OF-Quentin (if he stays fit it could be 30 homers plus with him)
OF-Snider (more AL hitting)
OF-Davis (got him for the steals)
OF-Ross (utility value in that he'll probably play every day)
UTIL-Reynolds (hopefully another 30 homers and with no punishment for Ks should be good)
Ben-Suzuki (C cover, was surprised he was still available)
Ben-Ibanez (might get one last good year out of him now Werth has gone and he should be regular)
Ben-Bay (gamble here that he comes back but will probably dump him as need more versatility in my line-up)

P-Lester (needed to get something off the Red Sox lol)
P-Greinke (banking on his numbers coming down with moving to NL, concern is that the Brewers defense is poor which could impact on him)
P-Weaver (downward trending figures, 200+ Ks and 200+ innings)
P-Cain (downward trending figures and playing in the big ball parks of the NL West)
P-Felix (went for him reasonably early)
P-Garza (like Greinke, banking on joining NL factor)
P-Beckett (Got him late and was worth a punt as a low pick, great potential upside)
P-Lidge (with those pitchers and a retracting offense I figured he'd be up more often than not)
P-Chih Kuo (was looking for another reliever and his stats are good if he can stay injury free)

Overall pretty pleased. Plenty of power, average number of steals (albeit most stuck in one player, will probably look to sign another guy or trader here) and five of six starters who went 200+ innings last year.

I wanted a few more AL hitters but got some steals on the pitching front I think. I don't think I picked an OF until after I'd filled all my position slots so missed on some good ones but it's easier to find production in those areas at lower levels. Disappointed I couldn't snare a couple of Red Sox, Rangers or Yankee hitters. I was really after A-Gon for 1B (he must top 40 in Fenway) and thought that Votto would have gone but I couldn't ignore Votto's stats when he was there. Once I'd gone for Votto I was in for the next best position player and that was Tulowitzki. There's a fair big drop off after him and Ramirez so although I think he might be a bit overrated the lack of depth at SS made it an easy decision.

The other disappointment was not getting Chapman. I was looking at drafting him that very round that somebody grabbed him. He'll rack up the Ks in relief and could take the closer slot at some point, although with Baker I doubt that will happen unless Cordero really stinks.

You seen the roster for the Australian Red Sox? Pretty formidable but his pitching is risky.

Can't wait for the season to start now lol.
