weas posted:I think that is a fine dynasty team, what's wrong with it? I'm using 2 of 5 NA slots and I feel like I made a lot of panic moves and didn't jump on a lot of talent. Then again I have literally no frame of reference for a dynasty league. I just went for "sort of young already decent to pretty good players." Also my 2B may not even play every day and his backup may flat stink. Appel and Taillon are going to become Aybar and a streaming spot.

It doesn't look like a MI league so 2Bs will be available for trade or for free on the wire. MiLB prospects tend to be massively overrated in dynasty leagues so I think your approach of taking guys right on the verge of being everyday players is much smarter than trying to load up on guys who won't be in the majors until 2017. I love guys like Arismendy, d'Arnaud, Arcia, Souza, Giles, and Martinez in a dynasty league, they will produce for you SOON. 60 minor leaguers is not super super deep so there will be plenty of MiLB guys who emerge who will be worth rostering.

Rate my team folks? Kinda scared going in to this, drafting is never my strong suit, and I NEED to WIN this year. 6 team league, so I feel like my team should look better than it does. I took way too long to pick up pitchers. C - Carlos Santana 1B- Jose Abreu 2B- Ian Kinsler 3B- Adrian Beltre SS- Hanley Ramirez OF- Giancarlo Stanton OF- Ryan Braun OF- Justin Upton Util- Carlos Gonzales Util- Nolan Arenado B- Chris Carter B- Mark Trumbo SP- Adam Wainright SP- James Shields RP- Greg Holland RP- Carlos Carrasco P- Sonny Gray P- Jake Arrieta B- Tyson Ross B- Phil Hughes B- Anibal Sanchez B- Andrew Cashner Scoring is some gimmicky first time commish poo poo. CS and BB is a stat for hitters, along with R, 1b, 2b, 3b, HR, RBI and SB, P stats are IP, W, SV, ER, BB, K, and of course PICK, NH, PG.

I mean you have a monster team but 6 teams everyone's team probably looks amazing. I'd say in a league like this the draft doesn't matter as much as waivers/streaming/daily matchups...

Drafting for a 15 team mixed roto (standard 5x5 with 2 Cs) league this weekend. Any general tips for the transition from playing with 12 teams?

(15) Anthony Rizzo (ChC - 1B) 3. (26) Madison Bumgarner (SF - SP) 4. (35) Ian Desmond (Was - SS) 5. (46) Johnny Cueto (Cin - SP) 6. (55) Yoenis Céspedes (Det - OF) 7. (66) Matt Holliday (StL - OF) 8. (75) David Robertson (CWS - RP) 9. (86) Devin Mesoraco (Cin - C) 10. (95) Kolten Wong (StL - 2B) 11. (106) Tyson Ross (SD - SP) 12. (115) Jacob deGrom (NYM - SP) 13.

That team is incredible. Desmond in the 4th, Bryant in the 17th are massive steals. Kolten Wong is a good 2B so that'll work out for you.

I like the team a lot for the most part, your pitching is really good, and as Spoeank said you got some steals in there, and I love Wong this year so you should be fine at 2B. Really the only place where I feel like you messed up a bit is your OF, I'm not crazy about Holliday or Cespedes. edit: you could probably use 1 or 2 more closers. and some more speed.

I'm not crazy about Holliday either, and was planning on waiting a few rounds in order to get better in other spots. That accidental draft really tripped me up haha. I haven't done a real draft before so I wasn't super prepared for how to effectively draft the like, 11 pitchers i needed. Should I worry about micromanaging or can I just put my best dudes in the lineup at the start of the week and let it ride?

Can't believe Felix went for more than Trout and Kershaw, and Puig went for more than Trout.  Arrieta for $7 is a loving steal, as are your closers.

For people who did auctions this weekend how much is Tanaka going for? I had him in the Lee/Darvish/DO NOT DRAFT category due to his elbow, but he's had a good spring and is listed at only $10 which is an amazing bargain if he's going anywhere near that.

Schweinhund posted:I just noticed that Joe Mauer is now a $1 player on Yahoo. Just shows why it's dumb to switch him to 1B. At least their $100 million replacement level 1B is healthy though. Your last sentence here is the whole point. The decision isn't $100M 1B or $100M C, it's $100M 1B or $100M 60-day DL.

Yeah, minor league lineups are where you assume the team wants/projects the guy in the future, but for the immediate present I think the main stepping stone is that Abel Wingnut posted:i know not what hurdle thinks. and also he was pretty bad last year after his hot start so he might get put near the bottom because reasons.

They might still trade Gee.

It might be a valid strategy to only have 1 closer and do that but if you already have multiple RPs it would be kind of a waste to be benching them since they lower ERA & WHIP and contribute to Ks.

santana at 92 wacha at 164 polanco at 191 myers at 194 saunders at 274  all day, son. i'd seriously rank santana 25 spots higher, even more if he has catcher eligibility, wacha 75, polanco 75, myers 100, saunders 100. and there were quite a few i'd spot 25 higher, but these are the ones that caught my eye.
