@Paulie Allnuts: Hubris, for sure.

@Cheese: Sure, 13-15th rounds of a 12 team league.

Either rotoauthority has invented the wheel simultaneously along with you, or perhaps they peeked. Murmuring Klarabell the Lost would do much better if he peeked a bit as well. But I perceive that hubris has the best of him, and he actually thinks that he knows what he is doing. At least those who plagiarize realize that someone else knows a bit more then they do. Which is why I use your list. Most of the time…

http://www.rotoauthority.com/2010/03/undervalued-hitters-for-2010.html

At least maybe folks will stop pumping Carlos Gonzalez’s tires long enough for him to log 400 ABs in a season.

@Cheese: I’d just continue down my top 20. So Holliday, etc. If you take Reyes or Crawford, then that changes things you do next. You’d need a Zimmerman, Lind type.

@JoeC: I’ve been burned more as a fan than in fantasy by the likes of Chavez, Crosby, Ellis, Street, Harden, Duchscherer, Devine.

Now let’s say Wright and Longoria are gone. What position should I target? Or should I just take the best available player? I read your blog about pairings, and you say to pair a 1B with Longoria/Wright/Kinsler/Tulo. Hypothetically, let’s say those guys aren’t available (strong possibility)… who’s next off the list?

I don’t think Ziegler is very likely to get an opportunity to close, simply b/c he doesn’t have closer stuff (closers don’t have WHIPs of 1.50). I think Wuertz and Devine will be next in line.

I do think it’s all a moot point though. Bailey is young and strong and has a good minor league track record. Personally, I think he’s one of the 10 best closers in baseball. I expect to own him in a lot of leagues (although not my main one, because it’s full of A’s fans).
