Who would you pick if you were going second in a live draft?

[tony best]

since i am in the same draft i think you should go for russ mitchell 8>) :P

Tony,

That's what I like about you, always watching out for me. And in the true sense of sportsmanship and comaraderie, let me reciproacate. I've got a hot insider's tip that I'd like to share with you. He's a can't miss prospect that will develop into the ace of your staff: Andrew Miller. :wink:

Im excited about this Miller guy but Im drafting 11th so he will be long gone :cry:

[travelingjack]

One of you should take Miller and the other should take Vin Mazarro. (I am also in your league).

Flaxen, your whole argument is moot because this is a live draft league where salary caps are irrelevant. Even if someone is injured, you can have a relatively expensive backup.[/quote:9296dfac96]

:oops:

I just finished a $140 Mill League (essentially a $200 Mill League - no owner even spend up to $140 Mill) and Cano was the League MVP from the beginning of the year to the end (see final voting below).

It was said earlier - a huge dropoff after Cano at such a valuable position...

Someone here mentioned AGON as a potential #2 pick. My home Park is Miller and AGON hasn't done much at all for me. This is after 222 AB's and 57 games. Maybe he'll go on a tear. Dunn would probably have been better for me at Miller. I still may do that change before the halfway point.

Did AGON ever go on a tear. He was hitting .255/8 HRs/.318 OBP after 57 games and he finished extremely well. He almost won the regular season MVP award. Finished seven points behind Hamilton. 381-374. Anyhow, I hope no one skipped AGON because of my frustrations.

I would pray the first guy takes Josh Hamilton; he gets a max of 15 on injuries, is 7R weak vs letfy in a lefty year so I could take Robinson Cano. He has committed 0 errors in 99 games. I built my current team (57-42)around him. He is hitting .308 has 15 HR and 67 RBI, and of course never takes that 1 e3 out of the lineup.

[RICHARDMILTER]

Cano.
