EDIT: Typo. Words.

Haven’t done any Yahoo mocks (draft app won’t load behind work firewall), but in the 12-teamers at Couchmanagers I was able to get him pretty consistently in the 12th or 13th from memory.

He has no catcher eligibility at ESPN, so couldn’t draft him in mocks there obviously.

Markakis and Kemp are both developing power but they had 38 HRs between them last year. Carlos alone had 36.

Thanks for the response. I agree that FA pickups can help you more in baseball. Hamilton and Quentin both finished the season in the top 20, that doesn’t happen in basketball. It just sucks that no one knows if they can do it two years in a row.

I offered Hamilton, Quentin, and my 9th rd pick for Kemp, Markakis, and his 6th rd pick. If he accepts, I might take Granderson instead of Ellsbury because I won’t need that many SBs anymore.

I kinda feel dumb offering Hamilton and Quentin though.. They’re former top prospects and when they’re healthy and on the field, they’ll obviously put up big numbers… Both playing in big time hitter parks. If he doesn’t mind giving me his 6th rd pick, he’ll probably accept because I remember him not being too fond of Markakis.

Iannetta is definitely the catcher I’m targetting, I think he should easily get 20 homeruns.

Is neshek still there?

@James: Yup.

@peter: Hehe

@sean: He might see less than 10 games at catcher. Dunn’s less attractive as a 1st baseman.

@Fred Barker: I’d prefer Doumit.

@big o: You also like Blalock.

i could see him coming into some late inning duty , if the rangers find it appropriate to try and save a game with their bullpen , on those days when he does not start , based on the strength of his glove .

and i worrry about max ramirez stealing late inning AB’s away from him , on days when he does start .

@grey: CBS position eligibility is gained by playing at least 5 games in 2009 or 20 in 2008. Will Sandoval be behind the dish at all this year or is he exclusively a corner man? Also, on this note, is Dunn more attractive as a 1B?

I was following the advice on this site even before I found it because it’s just plain common sense. Punt the catchers; there over-valued. Troll the wire for saves. Concentrate on batters early in drafts. It all works. Great advice! Only hope the others don’t catch on. People in my league chase wins when in comes to pitchers instead of looking at K/9 and WHIP. Foolishness. Chasing wins is like chasing the wind. Anyways, love the site. I plan on incorporating the rankings into my personal draft day spreadsheet (which is based on CHONE projections) and using it as a guide. By the way, this is my first time trying CHONE. Are they any good?
