[quote:b773dd1aa3="nythawk"][quote:b773dd1aa3="ehlekev"][quote:b773dd1aa3="Ninersphan"]Hmm, I usually don't take pitchers to early either, but I do like to have at least one STUD guy to build my staff around, and those types were flying off the board, and i knoew there was no way they'd last til my next picks. We'll see if it comes back to bite me.[/quote:b773dd1aa3]
Well that kind of sucks. I have Kershaw and Cliff Lee early. Apparently the resident keeper experts are not too keen on that strategy. I have a bad feeling...........

Short term it works fine but the problem is will they keep up their numbers on a yearly basis?? With Kershaw I would say yes,Lee Im not as excited about.Top flight hitters put up more consistent numbers on a yearly basis(at least thats how I factor it)And then there are all the pitchers that have Tommy John surgery and miss an entire season....Course thats how I look at it.Hell I have Strasburg in a few keeper leagues and have got him sitting on the sidelines this year so it is just a personal preference.[/quote:b773dd1aa3]
Alright, if we're gonna get that into strategy, at the risk of watching guys fly off the board...
I look at it like this, The position of greatest depth is pitcher, I know we all need 4 or 5 starters,
but how big a drop off is it from 1-12...
13-24
24-36 etc.
Now look at at the drop off from
1-12 at ss...
1-12 at 3b...
1-12 at 2b...
1-12 at 1b...
If you check the first guy and the 12th guy at those positions, my draft stratgey is pretty apparent. :wink:
