First 999 Million Dollar Live Draft League...help..?

PostSat Jan 23, 2016 5:35 pm

Below I will add the link to my very first ATG8 999 Million Dollar Live Draft league. I have played ATG8 and done live drafts but I have never done all three things together...

Twice I picked a guy a round or two earlier than I wanted to by hitting the wrong button. And I know Kiki Cuyler was probably a mistake (I got him in round 9) as was Troy Tulowitzski, but that is no big deal. When I took Tulo I had mean to take Rizzuto as my backup.....I took Dale Murray a round earlier than I meant too...

I picked Barry Larkin right before Derek Jeter in the middle of the 4th round..... My first pick was Oscar Charleston (7th overall), I traded Charleston and Todd Helton for Jimmie Fox and Ty Cobb...... I also picked Hugh Duffy as my second pick, (18th overall).

Anyone care to tell me what they think of my team? Maybe a ballpark suggestion? Feel free to tell me how I messed up. Thanks in advance for any help or comments!

Sorry I almost forget the link: http://365.strat-o-matic.com/team/1418895

i would pick dunn field.

your starting pitching is decent. you could run out a primary rotation of reulbach, marichal, paige and tudor with the rest for spot starts. you bullpen looks satisfactory as well.

you could run out these players:

c: mauer
1b: carew (try to upgrade to a better lher, but carew works in a pinch)
2b: gehringer (randolph is a serviceable platoon mate, but i would try to get myers bat)
3b: foxx (try to trade beltre for an up grade somewhere else)
ss: try to get vaughan
lf: duffy
cf: cobb
rf: cuyler
dh: p.waner/???

i would try to use some combination of beltre, wright, tulo, larkin, kelly, and randolph to get vaughan to play ss. cuyler is a solid performer in the proper environment.

Chuck Klein is often available to DH if you can't get Babe Herman

Very interesting. I am heading all advice, thanks much! Foxx at third base is an interesting idea... Thank you!

Klein is not currently available, but Zachary Wheat is.... I messed up picking Cuyler 9th, I could have had Shoeless Joe, damn it!!!

I don't think Dunn is the park for this team...??? My team's power is from the right hand side..I am thinking of a singles park, probably Royals because I do have a bit of power. Most of the other guys seem to be going with power parks, my team's strength is balance, I will not live and die by the ballpark HR. I have speed and OBP -both good for a singles park.

Maybe Hilltop '11 but probably Royals 1980....

I also like the idea of trading Beltre, Try to get one more top relief card that is good both ways.
