I’m in a 12 team h/h points league that leans towards SP,(Wins) HR’S & RP’s (Saves)…..start 5 SP’s per week,2 RP’s and a lineup C,1b,2b,ss,3b 4 OF’s & 1 DH….I can’t find any draft strategy for this type of league…how would you attack this draft… when would you start drafting SP’s & RP’s

If you’re drafting Sherrill late in a 16 team league, I don’t think highly of your participants. You should be winning that league. Last rounds, make sure all of these guys are gone:

Ive got my draft tonight and wanted to do some searching. Ive done plenty of mock drafts and have seen Hanley Ramirez go #2 a ton more then Reyes? I do however agree with most your stratagy. I dont like taking a pitcher until around round 5 or 6 but if Im sitting in round 7 or 8 and Putz falls to me, you really still agree I shouldnt take him? Ive had it happen in some of my mock drafts and found it hard not to snag him. I was really surprised about how you like to draft MR’s late in the draft. I like to use my last couple rounds drafting Brandon Morrow (Sea) and George Sherrill (Bal). I think they both will get me low WHIP and ERA and Sherrill is the closer I believe in Baltimore. Those are stats and I love using those bench spots for relievers. You can then use your P spots for those relievers and then bench them one a starter pitches…then the next day, put back your reliever! Ofcoarse I finished 2nd in my 16 team last season so I know what Im doing…

[...] I guess it’s only appropriate that they cause us the most agita. I’ve already explained that I won’t draft any closers in the first tier. Rudy Gamble broke down why he does grab a closer in the first tier. Anyway, what are these tiers [...]

Guess it would depend on your league’s competitiveness to a certain extent, cause I don’t see the names you list being around at the very end. Either way, Bell, Betancourt, Rodney, et al are 9 times out of ten mroe valuable than the random offensive bench player.

“never take an offensive bench player”

-see, I don’t agree with this for “draft strategy” i do for an in-season strategy. The draft is all about getting maximum value for your picks. MRs like heath bell pop up every year, for free. I’ll never draft stud MRs, they have no trade value unless they become closers. MRs are people you pick up in-season when you have extra space on your roster and you need whip/era help. I’d much rather draft a mike napoli, josh fields, or jack cust who may seem like garbage but have an outside shot of becoming $10+ players, and thus useful trade bait.
