Yeah, I was light on speed – hence the flier on Lopez. I have confidence in Carpenter to go 150 innings. Bedard is my risk, but i got him at 15th rd, so….

Is Nolasco really that risky? I have been so high on him, what am I missing?

@Falcon: What, you couldn't figure how to work Villanueva into the ol' team? You really punted speed, huh? I like the late round flier on Lopez a lot. Also like the grab of Teahen. Lackey's going to the DL (or already is) until May, then you have Bedard who is an injury risk and Nolasco who is in the same boat and Carpenter. Guess what I'm saying is your pitching is very risky. I've seen better, but you have a team that you can work with.

Grey, I am in a 12 man H2H fest. Mixed league is the game, and I used a lot of your rankings to inform my draft.

So what mistakes did I make?

Round Pick Player Position
1. (8) Ryan Braun OF
2. (17) Carlos Beltrán OF
3. (32) Carlos Lee OF
4. (41) Adrián González 1B
5. (56) Dan Haren SP
6. (65) Dan Uggla 2B
7. (80) Corey Hart OF
8. (89) John Lackey SP
9. (104) James Shields SP
10. (113) J.J. Hardy SS
11. (128) Ricky Nolasco SP
12. (137) Matt Capps RP
13. (152) Chris Carpenter SP
14. (161) Chad Qualls RP
15. (176) Erik Bedard SP
16. (185) Jim Thome Util
17. (200) Kelly Shoppach C
18. (209) Troy Percival RP
19. (224) Troy Glaus 3B
20. (233) Daniel Murphy OF
21. (248) Felipe López 2B,3B,SS,OF

I was in two or three spots where I took a guy i didnt really want. Hart (i thought this was a steal), JJ Hardy (based on having experienced his slumps personally), and Jim Thome (who i took because i noticed that power was becoming a commodity.) also, I was disappointed in my 3B options, and wished I had taken one earlier. I now have Teahen to replace Glaus on the DL. At least I may get to trade him high as a 2B if he tears it up in April.

Anyway, looking forward to some jabs in the ribs about featuring most of the Milwaukee offense. ::hugs::

@royce!: Drop him and grab Baker or Laird, dealer's choice.

And I guess as an addendum to comment #85, in my 20 team I should keep Clement on the bench untiil he gets back, right?

I gotta find someone to play C for me while Clement’s proving himself once more in the minors. Options are: Yadier Molina, Johjima, Laird, Olivo, Baker, and Zaun. I think I have to go with Johjima. Who’s with me?

@Nick: Drop him for Motte.

Last post, drop Jose Lopez for Motte right now? He seems like the last solid RP who can get the closer role come opening day. Whoever had Marmol might be looking for a new closer right about now
