When your first comment is 'I'm not loving this team' and then the first guy is a $5 Phillies player --- I can kind of see why.
Carrasco & Price are both hurt already.
Ouch.

In my opinion you have to take a few chances in a draft of 15 players to win. Carrasco and Price are two of my gambles. I picked up some fill in guys in the reserves rounds waiting on Carrasco and Price return.

I do think there is some amazing value here tho. Namely Forsythe, Walker, Thames, SCHWARBER. I don't like the pitching prices though. I had a feeling that kind of stuff was going to happen in this draft which is why I'm not too pissed about $31 for Kluber

[TOXIC ASSETS]

I'm far from the auction expert myself. I have 2 major holes on my AL only auction team, at 3B and SS. My pitching staff is very good but full of gambles -- like ChipChop I also have Price, as well as Tanaka and Darvish. The starting staff will give me a shot but I need luck on my side as well, as does everyone who plays this crazy pastime.

[Gekko]

I took Prado in reserves as he was way to good value for a 3B that late and from what I've read Miami doesnt seem to concerned about his hammy.

Paying attention to details seems to be important..."Martin Prado will not be ready for Opening Day after an MRI revealed a Grade 1 right hamstring strain. In addition to the strained hammy, Prado is also dealing with some discomfort in his right calf."

[ChipChopChip]

Toxic what did you pay for Price in the AL auction?

[Tree Huggers]

You guys are the experts, of course, but it looks to me like RotoWhatevs almost punted on steals. After you add up the sneaky IF bags, isn't he still going to be way short?

yes, he's likely sub 100. i didn't want to bury the guy right off the bat. maybe he will rotate span in some

[Yah Mule]

Could anyone in the league please tell me what Lucroy and Sanchez went for yesterday?

You can also say the league overbought on steals at the expense of the other offensive categories. People love to overbid on guys like Billy Hamilton.

I'm not awarding a full rim shot here. A rim click should cover it.

[Glenneration X]

Was anybody really looking for serious analysis of this league? I was just jonesing for a new YouTube video.

25 and 24 for those two catchers yesterday. The videos helped us all bid appropriately on catchers.

Yes , Billy Hamilton literally went for $25 I think...

Last I checked sb is one category and the other four are, well...four.

if you "nailed" the other categories, the lack of sb wouldn't be an issue; however i don't think you nailed the other catagories.

but you know what, who the hell knows. everyone is an expert at this stage of the game. i'm the guy who owned correa on 90% of my teams last year. FAIL

[TOXIC ASSETS]

Toxic what did you pay for Price in the AL auction?

$16 -- or half what I paid for Darvish

[rkulaski]

P Eickhoff, Jerad (P) $3

i'm not sure why he doesn't get any respect. solid buy at that price

Paid 6 for him last night and thought 6 was fair.

I like the low dollar arms you collected.

He stole some $1 pitchers, which worked out great considering some of the big bats he bought. I like this team best so far.

[Bjs2025]

I just made a far more thorough video review this draft. I will not share it here if the other teams in the league do not want me to but I will be posting it on YouTube. Is everybody OK with me posting it here?

[Gekko]

Brian - if you are looking for some street cred, I wouldn't mention anything about having a team favored by some sort of preseason site projections. Sounds cool to some, but when I hear it, it sounds like dead money. Just a thought

I'm not concerned with cred, I just prefer statistical analysis vs. "Does Jay Bruce have the mindset to play in New York?"

I prefer people with the confidence to address me directly.

Whoa, my bad I thought Gekko said that.

[headhunters]

did anyone get so excited by your catcher video that they bought 3 catchers? if they did- you might want to do another and remind people the 100% catcher bump only pertains to catchers playing catcher. the 100% catcher bump is also not used on mastersball or fangraphs but what do those morons know.
