Looking for some thoughts on the following team. Had a discussion with a leaguemate (who very likely may read this) and his opinion was that I took way too many health risks. I feel like the "risky" players were well worth the value of where they were drafted, but would appreciate some insight from other sources. I drafted 7th and will put the round of the "risk" players previously mentioned.
This is a 12 team Roto League, Standard Infield + 4 OF & UTL, 2 SP, 2RP, 3P (23 total roster spots + 1 DL). 5x5 + BB & TB for hitters and QS & K:BB for pitchers.
C: Napoli
1B: Texeira
2B: Cano
3B: Ian Stewart (Rd. 10, Pick 114)
SS: Jose Reyes (R4, P42)
OF: Grady Sizemore (R2, P18)
OF: Sparkakis! (R6, P66)
OF: Denard Span
OF: Corey Hart (R15, P175)
UTL: Berkman (R10, P127)
B: Garrett Jones
B: Ian Desmond
B: David Dejesus
SP: Verlander
SP: Cliff Lee (R7, P79)
RP: Qualls
RP: Soriano
P: Chris Perez
P: Scott Baker
P: Roy Oswalt
B: Marcum
B: Latos
B: Harang
DL: Bedard
Combined the Razz Ranks and Baseball Prospectus rankings with BB, TB, QS, and K:BB added in the value projections. Thanks for any advice and/or perspective on this team. And thank you Grey, Rudy and Co. for all the information that you guys provide.
No problem. DeJesus shouldn't be fielded in this league. Hart's probably not worth it either. You have 6 injury risks. Does seem like a bit too much. I think Reyes and Sizemore will be fine, but am worried about Marcum, Berkman, Oswalt and Lee. If everything turns in your favor, you should be fine with hitting. Your pitching probably will get dicey after Verlander and Baker.
