Yea, I guessed it might, but figured this was easier. Oh well.

Da Bomb · 02-28-2007, 10:48 AM

ouch... really? #2?

Bubba · 02-28-2007, 01:03 PM

He is #1 on Street and Smith's Top 250.

Projected stats:
.291/44/97/35

....while playing half his games in the friendly confines of Wrigley. So, who would you take?

Da Bomb · 02-28-2007, 01:42 PM

dont want to name drop and havent read even one page of fantasy baseball this year, but i just find it hard to believe that hes the #2 (or #1) player in fantasy baseball. hes at an easy position to fill, hits for poor averages, and i doubt he'll be used to steal much in chicago. this seems like a case of a guy who signed for big bucks in new york a few years ago and everyone felt compelled to draft him in the top 3 because of his all around talent, and he was a real disappointment. hey, im a cubs fan. i just find it hard to believe that soriano could really be the #2 guy. we'll see after these next few picks if i prefer any of them to alfy.

kruper · 02-28-2007, 04:51 PM

I will say this, Soriano could be huge this year. I think the whole Wrigley Field factor has him a little high, but who knows. We all think we know it all at the start of the season.

Oh man, and I thought my email notification was for pick No. 3. However, nice avatar Kruper!!!

WesDawg · 02-28-2007, 07:10 PM

There is a second tier of players that typically get drafted between #2 and #7 or so that are basically interchangeable, and Soriano is most definitely in that grouping. Give him a 10% decline and he's still 35/35 in a way better lineup and home park than last year.

Coyote1331 · 03-01-2007, 06:38 AM

Is this going to be a mid-season league, or do we need to step it up a little in the draft? We're looking at mid-May at this rate.

Phicinfan · 03-01-2007, 06:55 AM

Wow...that was fast for the first complaint.

Seriously, this is a new league, and some new members, so it will pick up once everyone gets into a groove.

Coyote1331 · 03-01-2007, 07:01 AM

I'm not complaining, just asking a question. I agree that it should pick up once people get into the rotation.

Sorry man, didn't mean to get your hopes up. This just in, I love the girl in my avatar.

WesDawg · 03-01-2007, 06:58 PM

I've seen all 4 guys at picks 1.2-1.5 go at #2 overall... This year's first 2 rounds are absolutely stacked. Normally I'm not a huge fan of the #1 pick overall, but just watch and see who gets teamed with Albert.. I guarantee it will be someone with 1st round production.

catman · 03-01-2007, 07:01 PM

We'll get the league drafted by opening day. Don't worry about that.

WesDawg · 03-01-2007, 07:16 PM

Looking at the bright side for the procrastinators in the league....

Not very often can you do your draft preparation WHILE your actually drafting !!!!

catman · 03-01-2007, 07:31 PM

This is the beauty of an "on-line" draft. If you see a guy you like you can check his stats out without holding everyone else in the league up.

WesDawg · 03-01-2007, 07:39 PM

Hence the term "draft preparation" lol

Rodney · 03-01-2007, 07:49 PM

I love slow online drafts...but not too slow.
