[quote:3dfc55b118="keyzick"]Didn't think I'd be so torn over who to take...went with Tulo. He needs 4 more PAs to reach the magic 600![/quote:3dfc55b118]

Tommy Field goes 2 for 4 with 2 singles starting in place of Tulo in the last game of the season as Colorado beats S.F. 6-3. :cry:

Yeah, what's up with that? Oh well, I'll be haunted by 15 game injuries all season now... :cry:

Granderson can actually hit lefties for once. Most players batting .262 don't get picked in the second round, but his OPS, def, 600PAs, balanced hitting, and speed have me intrigued.

Defense. If the UZR is used he will be a 3 with a +2 arm. I have seen enough games that he should be a 2 with a 0 arm. But Start will give him a +1 or +2.

I was honestly on the fence between Granderson and Cabrera for my first pick, and couldn't believe he almost fell to me in the 2nd round (Damn you!). My consolation pick will be in soon.

I really considered Granderson with my pick in the second round, but the low BA really turned me off. I felt there were plenty of other options at CF that could also have better defense.

I will say that hitters with BA around .250 or .260 almost always seem to hit .230 or worse in Strat leagues. That's what scared me off ultimately, too, along with the thought that it's usually best to not try to be too cute with picks - just go with the no-brainers.

But if the LUCKBAG(Visick) gets him. Granderson bats .300+ w/ like 70 bombs. Just saying. Oh and see the Elf thread, I mean Pedrioa.
