Fantasy Baseball II con't

[The Emperor Fabulous]

Not yet

I'm actually satisfied overall. Glad I got last year's AL Cy Young in the 5th.

[Berzerker]

and check your teams asap and notify me of any mistakes so I can fix the problem before the waiver wire opens on the 24th

Looks like I need to grab another second baseman.

My team looks good. Thanks Berz!

Here's my post-draft analysis of my picks. As the draft was going I have been working on an overall ranking for another pool - the RANK column here is where my pick lands on that list.

Standout good picks (green): Todd Helton, Brian Giles, Jonny Gomes

Standout bad picks (red): Michael Barrett, Julio Lugo

However, my method of evaluation is obviously biased - I would love feedback from others on my picks - especially the first ten rounds.

[Nothingface]

I like your methods for evaluating and am going to check that out, which mock draft site did you use?

[Imran Siddiqui]

I believe that's his own ranking. Well he said he was working on it at any rate.

[Nothingface]

He did say that but why pick a guy 42 picks higher than you have him ranked...barrett?

[Imran Siddiqui]

Well, I assumed he did his rankings afterwards... and seeing where other catchers went to other teams.

[Hot Mustard]

The rankings are an average from several rankings I found.

Here they are:
Sports Fanatics Top 300 Overall
Cafe Mock Draft
SportingNews Top 300
SI Top 270
ESPN Top 200
Yahoo! Bigger Board
Sons of Sam Horn Slow Pick Draft
Apolyton I Draft
Apolyton II Draft

Evidently I didn't keep the links for all of them.

This was just a thought in my mind up until I think mid-way through our draft, and then it took some time to collect the data and work everything out.

[Hot Mustard]

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Barrett was my last pick without the benefit of my (at the time still developing) ranking, because I snagged Brian Giles in the next round.

Soriano agrees to play left field for Nationals

Umm, Stuie - you're gonna want to check out the waiver wire or trade possibilities for a 2B.

Why? If he's listed as a 2B, he'll stay that way the entire season. He'll just get the LF added to him.

[Berzerker]

he doesnt lose his eligibility at 2b

[Hot Mustard]

Oh. That's actually kinda lame. Good for Stuie, but lame.

No one loses eligibility. Or else it'd be super lame if Stuie had to drop a player to get a 2b because Soriano switched positions right before the season began.
