Hopefully space is still available.

Preparing for my draft in a 16 team H2H dynasty league. I’ve got the 16th pick in the snake draft. Normally I’d be happy to have that draft slot for the back-to-back picks, but my the only other Razzballer in the league (who is probably going to read this post) landed the 15th pick. I’m concerned about him poaching my draft targets (especially in the later rounds) and have found two owners (non-Razzballers) that are willing to trade draft positions (swap positions for all 20+ rounds).

Should I swap for the guy picking 10th, the guy picking 12th, or stand pat at 16 and risk having my friend (@ #15) mess with my game plan?

Thanks for the perspective?

I am interesting tho maybe in 2 1B in the top 5. Seems to me you never have too many 30+ HR guys and a good chunk are at 1B? Particularly in my 4 OF league.

I saw a question on the top 100 post that I was interested in that I believe was misinterpreted.

With all the top notch 1b – what are your thoughts on going with 2 1bs with the first couple picks grabbing some combo of A-Gon, Tex, Howard, or Prince? Are two potential 40HR guys worth sacrificing for a later reach in a shallow position?

Thanks – Great site

Although then there’s Jose Bautista, but eh. He’s clearly the flukiest fluke that ever fluked in the whole fluke of flukes. I’m not sure what I just said, either….

I needed the saves a little bit with only Kimbrel and Hanrahan on my roster, so I went with League (before you responded). I’ll look to try to get Soriano or Kuo with my next pick.

I’m in a 14 team H2H league, and we can keep three players. These are my best players:

Hunter Pence
Brandon Phillips
Mark Teixiera
Zack Greinke
John Lester
Francisco Liriano

The rest of them are pretty much all scrubs or just really old, so I left them off. I also have Strasburg (we can keep players forever) but I don’t know if it’s worth hanging on to him for a year of nothing. I’m thinking Tex, Lester, and either Phillips or Liriano. Suggestions?

@Ben: Looks like a rock solid mock. One of the better ones I’ve seen. Only issue will be average but since it’s H2H it’s not much of an issue.

@ThePensive: No problem, thanks for the kind words! I’d take Longoria’s side there.

Thanks for keeping the site up and relevant even through the dead of winter. It’s like the little blades of grass poking up through the snow reminding us all that spring is on the way, if the blades of grass were also somehow dropping little spores of knowledge (What’s that? Grass doesn’t drop spores? Stop ruining my analogy).

In a 8×8 (Hits, BB’s, K’s for hitters, Holds, Blown Saves, QS for pitchers) H2H league where I have too many keepers to choose from (I can keep 10, and I have 14 players in your top 100, so I’d like to trade quantity for quality), is it worth it to me to try to deal A-Rod/Ichiro/Price for Longoria/Lester?

I (partially) owe my championship last year to your excellent advise. Could you evaluate a Yahoo 12 team h2h mock I did the other day?

13. Jorge Posada (NYY – C)
14. Adam Lind (Tor – 1B,OF)

Believe it or not, I was Ron Popeil for Halloween 2-3 years ago haha. One of my buddies threw out an idea for a few of us to be TV pitchmen. I volunteered for Popeil and spent $4 on the whole costume. Other guys backed out of the pitchmen idea but I had already invested that large sum of money so I stuck with it. 99% of the people I encountered had no idea who I was supposed to be but the few that did thought it was kinda cool. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn’t change a thing!

Didn’t mean to ask so simplistic a question. What do you think about Jansen from watching him pitch? He used to be a catcher, correct? Do you think he hos gotten by on deception or his stuff is for real? I know he can hit 99 on the gun…
