[quote:dca78efbf0="franky35"]Paul, I'd put my focus on Merv Rettenmund and Wayne Comer. jus kiddin.
Actually, the 2 wackiest high value / low price players are Held and Jim Hicks; although I think there are problems with both players. In most drafts, I see position players go well ahead of pitching and, for the most part, I would expect to see that to really be the case in a 60 mil draft. The reliever Ken Tatum will be one of the first pitchers off the board. I can guarantee that ugrant will be drafting power hitters and a hitter's park. I'll be drafting good fielding up the middle. rjnewman will draft a few 50 cent starters and a maximum of 2 pure relievers. Other than that, it is hard to predict how the draft will go.
Some other cheap players that will be drafted earlier than you might think: Ed Spezio, Clay Dalrymple, Don Pavletich, Martinez, Woody Woodward, Sandy Alomar, Billy Wynne, Dave Leonard, Mudcat Grant and Rollie Fingers (avoid Fingers).[/quote:dca78efbf0]
I agree that Rettenmund should go early! (as in go home and wait for the phone call that will never happen)
We should see lots of pitchers under 2 mil with almost all of the high priced starting pitchers not being selected. Several positions always seem to be very thin (3B, SS, LF) and will get drafted fast and furious. I have been going with hitter friendly parks lately, but have had success at Comiskey in the past.
I will pick 9th overall, so I know I will not get Rico P. I can't wait to get on the clock and see who is available at 9! Best of luck to all! J Law
