| 27 March 2010
This past Tuesday was the inaugural Fantasy Baseball 365 League draft. The league consists of 12 teams including myself and FB365 readers.
Our rosters consist of: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, OF (4), UT, P(9) and BN (5). Below are the results of the draft with my commentary below. My picks are bold and italicized.
| Round 1 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Albert Pujols | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Hanley Ramírez | Piranhas |
| 3. | Ryan Braun | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Álex Rodríguez | FB365 |
| 5. | Chase Utley | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Matt Kemp | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Joe Mauer | PBurke |
| 8. | Evan Longoria | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Mark Teixeira | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Ryan Howard | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Prince Fielder | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Miguel Cabrera | Strictly Bus... |
My pick was a fairly easy one here. I get the top third baseman at a thin position and someone who could battle both Pujols and Hanley for number one value.
Best pick: The more I look at it the more I like Snagging Evan Longoria in the first round. Third base is much thinner than first base where value can be had several rounds later.
Worst pick: Joe Mauer. Only because he's not sure thing. If he goes out and hits .333 with 30 home runs 100 runs and 100 RBI, then the pick will have been worth it. However, if the power slips or Mauer gets injured (as has happened plenty in his past), this could be a huge bust.
| Round 2 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Ian Kinsler | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | David Wright | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Tim Lincecum | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Troy Tulowitzki | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Justin Upton | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | Matt Holliday | PBurke |
| 7. | Dustin Pedroia | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | Adrián González | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | Carl Crawford | FB365 |
| 10. | Roy Halladay | Braun's ... |
| 11. | Joey Votto | Piranhas |
| 12. | Zack Greinke | Seeking Relief |
I would have loved to see Tulow or Upton here, but instead I snag Carl Crawford for some stolen bases and runs with a little power.
Best pick: Nothing really stands out to me here as this was fairly similar to ADP reports.
Worst pick: It could be Dustin Pedroia, then again he could earn that value with a "bounce back" season.
| Round 3 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Félix Hernández | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Ryan Zimmerman | Piranhas |
| 3. | Grady Sizemore | Braun's ... |
| 4. | José Reyes | FB365 |
| 5. | Jimmy Rollins | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Pablo Sandoval | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Robinson Canó | PBurke |
| 8. | Mark Reynolds | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Jacoby Ellsbury | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Ichiro Suzuki | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Jason Bay | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Jayson Werth | Strictly Bus... |
Some people might see this pick as very risky. Based on my knowledge of his medical situation Jose Reyes should be good to go for the 2010 season. His thyroid condition is something that is very treatable and his hamstring issues from last season have not been present this spring. If he stays healthy in 2010 I could be getting first round value here in the third round.
Best pick: Jacoby Ellsbury is going to steal a ton of bases, score a ton of runs and has a good chance to improve his AVG and power numbers slightly.
Worst pick:There is just too much risk in Mark Reynolds for me to see him as a third round value.
| Round 4 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Nelson Cruz | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | Dan Haren | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Ben Zobrist | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Kevin Youkilis | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Brandon Phillips | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | Kendry Morales | PBurke |
| 7. | Víctor Martínez | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | Derek Jeter | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | Aramis Ramírez | FB365 |
| 10. | Brian McCann | Braun's ... |
| 11. | B.J. Upton | Piranhas |
| 12. | Justin Morneau | Seeking Relief |
Third base is thin, we roster acorner infield spot and Aramis Ramirezassures that my team will be strongat 3B/CI.
Bestpick:Ben Zobrist can be used at 2B/SS/OF in our league so even a regression in numbers would give him plenty of value.
Worst pick: I have been burned byB.J. Upton for twostraight seasons. I get the upside, I really do, but there are so many good outfielder that will go off the board in the next several rounds.
| Round 5 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | CC Sabathia | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Justin Verlander | Piranhas |
| 3. | Brian Roberts | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Aaron Hill | FB365 |
| 5. | Adam Lind | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Nick Markakis | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Adam Dunn | PBurke |
| 8. | Shin-Soo Choo | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Jon Lester | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Yovani Gallardo | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Joakim Soria | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Jonathan Broxton | Strictly Bus... |
While I think Aaron Hill is in line for a regression in power, a round five pick eases any concerns. The top second basemen are already off the board.
Best pick: Aaron Hill?
Worst pick: Brian Roberts back is a big question mark. I also am not crazy about Adam Dunn given his .267 last season AVG was by way of the highest BABIP of his career.
| Round 6 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Mariano Rivera | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | Carlos Beltrán | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Chone Figgins | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Adam Wainwright | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Josh Johnson | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | Josh Hamilton | PBurke |
| 7. | Ubaldo Jiménez | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | Johan Santana | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | Curtis Granderson | FB365 |
| 10. | Chris Carpenter | Braun's ... |
| 11. | Cole Hamels | Piranhas |
| 12. | Jason Bartlett | Seeking Relief |
Yes I am worried about Granderson not hitting for a high enough AVG, but his power numbers should thrive in Yankee Stadium to go along with 20 or so stolen bases.
Best pick: Chone Figgins has a chance to be a real nice value as he will gain second base eligibility soon.
Worst pick:Carlos Beltran in round six!!!??? Dave!!! WHHHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!
| Round 7 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Gordon Beckham | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Andre Ethier | Piranhas |
| 3. | Billy Butler | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Ricky Nolasco | FB365 |
| 5. | Bobby Abreu | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Clayton Kershaw | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Tommy Hanson | PBurke |
| 8. | Cliff Lee | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Matt Wieters | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Manny Ramírez | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Jay Bruce | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Ian Stewart | Strictly Bus... |
There was a little run on pitchers, but I am sticking to my 7/10 split strategy here. I don't about you, but I spell ace N-O-L-A-S-C-O.
Best pick: I like Billy Butler as a value pick since all of the other top first basemen were taken in the first few rounds.
Worst pick: Nothing here really looks that bad, but I'm not a huge fan of Bobby Abreu as he enters his age 36 season.
| Round 8 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Derrek Lee | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | Chipper Jones | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Carlos Peña | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Raúl Ibañez | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Jonathan Papelbon | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | Carlos Lee | PBurke |
| 7. | Torii Hunter | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | Michael Young | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | Carlos Quentin | FB365 |
| 10. | Shane Victorino | Braun's ... |
| 11. | Elvis Andrus | Piranhas |
| 12. | Adam Jones | Seeking Relief |
I'll be looking for speed later in the draft so I grab a big power threat here in Carlos Quentin, who looks like one of the last big power threats in the outfield (or at any position for that matter).
Best pick: ?
Worst pick: Torii Hunter was aided by a .330 BABIP last season and after his eight home runs in April hedidn't hit more than five in any other month. He'll be 34/35 this season and there are still a lot of more attractive outfield options on the board.
| Round 9 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Andrew McCutchen | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Álex Ríos | Piranhas |
| 3. | Alexei Ramírez | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Josh Beckett | FB365 |
| 5. | Wandy Rodríguez | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Dan Uggla | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Javier Vázquez | PBurke |
| 8. | Michael Cuddyer | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Scott Baker | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Carlos González | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Heath Bell | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Chad Billingsley | Strictly Bus... |
Beckett ran into one heck of a rough stretch late last season. Outside of that he was quite dominant for most of 2009. You know what they say about contract years...
Best pick: I like the first three picks in this round.
Worst pick:At age 30, Michael Cuddyer had his career year and even at that he only hit .276. He has been inconsistent with his production and health most of his career.
| Round 10 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Matt Garza | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | Asdrubal Cabrera | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Jake Peavy | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Howie Kendrick | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Hunter Pence | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | Matt Cain | PBurke |
| 7. | Yunel Escobar | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | Denard Span | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | Lance Berkman | FB365 |
| 10. | Rickie Weeks | Braun's ... |
| 11. | José Valverde | Piranhas |
| 12. | Miguel Montero | Seeking Relief |
Despite not being a huge proponent of drafting Berkman and knowing that he has already had knee problems this spring, I need a first baseman and round ten could represent good value for Berkman even if he isn't the player he used to be.
Best pick: Berkman?
Worst pick: I'm not a big fan of drafting Howie Kendrick or Rickie Weeks this early.
| Round 11 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Chris Davis | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Brian Wilson | Piranhas |
| 3. | Trevor Hoffman | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Carlos Mármol | FB365 |
| 5. | Francisco Rodríguez | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Jered Weaver | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Huston Street | PBurke |
| 8. | Jason Kubel | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Frank Francisco | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Brett Anderson | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Mike Napoli | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Adrián Béltre | Strictly Bus... |
I was able to hold off one round and extend my 7/10 split strategy to 7/11. Carlos Marmol has his control issues, but I'll take his top-end strikeout ability anyday at this point in the draft.
Best pick: Brett Anderson has a good chance to equal or better a round 11 pick.
Worst pick: This could easily be Chris Davis who has 17 strikeouts to only three walks this spring, which is good for the third most strikeouts of any player this spring.

I am on the Liriano wagon for sure. His command seems to be back and his strikeouts were still very good last season. He has a chance to match any pitcher taken this round with the upside for much more.
Best pick: Andre Bailey and Rafael Soriano should be very good values here. I also like the picks of Gavin Floyd and Jose Lopez (Lopez will have 2B/3B elegibility in 2010).
Worst pick: I just don't get all the love fo A.J. Burnett.
| Round 13 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Vladimir Guerrero | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Julio Borbón | Piranhas |
| 3. | John Lackey | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Brad Hawpe | FB365 |
| 5. | Max Scherzer | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Billy Wagner | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | John Danks | PBurke |
| 8. | Brian Fuentes | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Adam LaRoche | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Brandon Webb | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Jonathan Sánchez | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Kevin Slowey | Strictly Bus... |
Brad Hawpe is by no means spectacular, but he hits in the middle of a good lineup and has been consistent over the past couple seasons.
Best pick: I like the value on Borbon here as I've seen him go in rounds 9-10 in a couple other drafts. I'm also a fan of Max Scherzer this season. John Lackey seems to be a good value if he can stay healthy, but I have some reservationsabout him this season.
Worst pick: I'm thinking maybe Vlad Guererro is going to frustrate owners in 2010 due to his DH-only eligibility, but I see the upside.
| Round 14 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Hiroki Kuroda | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | Everth Cabrera | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Jorge Cantú | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Johnny Damon | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Marco Scutaro | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | David Ortiz | PBurke |
| 7. | James Shields | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | Geovany Soto | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | Stephen Drew | FB365 |
| 10. | Neftali Feliz | Braun's ... |
| 11. | Nick Swisher | Piranhas |
| 12. | Ryan Ludwick | Seeking Relief |
The middle infield market is starting to get a bit thin and I think Stephen Drew could provide tremendous value here as my middle infielder, especially if he bats leadoff for the D-Backs.
Best pick: I think Stephen Drew will prove to be a steal here. I also like Geovany Soto at this point.
Worst pick:Johnny Damon has already said he won't be swinging for the fence as much in Detroit. At his age his speed is not what it used to be either. He could be a major bust in 2010.
| Round 15 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Rafael Furcal | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Mike González | Piranhas |
| 3. | Nyjer Morgan | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Juan Pierre | FB365 |
| 5. | Jair Jurrjens | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Rajai Davis | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Nolan Reimold | PBurke |
| 8. | Jorge Posada | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Brett Gardner | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Jason Heyward | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Michael Bourn | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Ryan Madson | Strictly Bus... |
At this point I am happy to grab a 40-50 stolen base threat in Juan Pierre.
Best pick: Along with Pierre, Nyjer Morgan has 40-50 stolen base potential at a great round value. Rajai Davis could surpass both in steals if he can stay healthy, which he is working on this spring.
Good value:I've seen Jayson Heyward go as early asd round 10, but round 15 seems perfect to take a flier on his upside.
Worst pick: With his league average K/BB rate, Jair Jurrjens could easliy post a ERA of over 4.00.
| Round 16 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Tim Hudson | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | Stephen Strasburg | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Leo Núñez | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Aaron Harang | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Roy Oswalt | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | Johnny Cueto | PBurke |
| 7. | James Loney | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | David Price | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | David Aardsma | FB365 |
| 10. | Ryan Franklin | Braun's ... |
| 11. | Colby Lewis | Piranhas |
| 12. | Daisuke Matsuzaka | Seeking Relief |
My first cringe pick of the draft. I needed a second closer and Aardsma is healthy with a closing job. Believe me when I tell you I will be watching his situation (and walk rate) like a hawk early on.
Best pick:I like the flier on Aaron Harang, Stephen Strasburgh and Colby Lewis here.
Worst pick: None.
| Round 17 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Scott Kazmir | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Joe Blanton | Piranhas |
| 3. | Edwin Jackson | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Ryan Doumit | FB365 |
| 5. | Matt Thornton | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Chris Coghlan | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Brad Lidge | PBurke |
| 8. | Alcides Escobar | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Martín Prado | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Rich Harden | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Garrett Jones | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Ryan Theriot | Strictly Bus... |
In round 17 Ryan Doumit could provide huge value. He is healthy and ready to bounce back as a key hitter in the middle of the Pirates order.
Best pick: Alcides Escobar can steal 30-40 basesand be a more valuable shortstop option than Everth Cabrera, who was taken three rounds earlier.
Worst pick: Witha post all-star ERA of over 5.00 last season and a very inconsistent track record, Edwin Jackson could be a dissapointing pitcher in 2010.
| Round 18 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Franklin Gutiérrez | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | Homer Bailey | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Miguel Tejada | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Juan Rivera | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Vernon Wells | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | Kyle Blanks | PBurke |
| 7. | Carlos Zambrano | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | Justin Duchscherer | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | Erik Bedard | FB365 |
| 10. | Corey Hart | Braun's ... |
| 11. | Clint Barmes | Piranhas |
| 12. | Alfonso Soriano | Seeking Relief |
At this point in the draft Erik Bedard represents upside for 15 or so starts. He'll be a DL stash early and an easy cut should I need the DL space.
Best pick: Franklin Gutierrez has some real nice upside for an 18th round pick.
Worst pick:None.
| Round 19 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Rick Porcello | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Paul Konerko | Piranhas |
| 3. | Ervin Santana | Braun's ... |
| 4. | Magglio Ordóñez | FB365 |
| 5. | Jason Frasor | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Matt Capps | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Nick Johnson | PBurke |
| 8. | Chris Pérez | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Ted Lilly | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Mat Latos | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Kelly Johnson | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Dexter Fowler | Strictly Bus... |
I have selected Magglio Ordonez late in a few drafts now. While he may not hit for much power anymore, he is a proven .300 hitter and should drive in a good amount of runs hitting once again in the middle of Detroit's lineup.
Best pick: I love the picks of Nick Johnson, Dexter Fowler, Mat Latos and (as it turned out) Jason Frasor.
Worst pick: None.
| Round 20 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Clay Buchholz | Strictly Bus... |
| 2. | Ben Sheets | Rolen on int... |
| 3. | Matt Guerrier | LosPunchados... |
| 4. | Erick Aybar | Babe Ruthless |
| 5. | Kevin Correia | Schwetty Wei... |
| 6. | Colby Rasmus | PBurke |
| 7. | Russell Martin | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 8. | Octavio Dotel | Shallow Be T... |
| 9. | Lastings Milledge | FB365 |
| 10. | Alex Gordon | Braun's ... |
| 11. | Derek Lowe | Piranhas |
| 12. | Jeff Niemann | Seeking Relief |
Everyone loved Lastings Milledge as a sleeper last season, but an early season slump sent him to the minors. Wrist injuries sapped much of his power as well, but a healthy Millegde in 2010 could provide great value as a 15/20 guy this late in the draft.
Notes:I also very much like the upside play in Colby Rasmus.
| Round 21 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Scott Sizemore | Seeking Relief |
| 2. | Phil Hughes | Piranhas |
| 3. | Pedro Alvarez | Braun's ... |
| 4. | J.J. Hardy | FB365 |
| 5. | Matt Lindstrom | Shallow Be T... |
| 6. | Brian Matusz | DONT HASSLE ... |
| 7. | Brandon Wood | PBurke |
| 8. | Mark DeRosa | Schwetty Wei... |
| 9. | Jhonny Peralta | Babe Ruthless |
| 10. | Todd Helton | LosPunchados... |
| 11. | Felipe Paulino | Rolen on int... |
| 12. | Kurt Suzuki | Strictly Bus... |
At this point I'll take a flier on J.J. Hardy to give my team some depth with hopes of a bounce back season.
Notes:I like theupside play in Scott Sizemore for a 15/15 season at second base, as long as his ankle holds up.

Continuing on with some upside picks, I select Toronto's opening day starter Shaun Marcum, who displayed above average strikeout ability and good command before missing most of 2009 with arm surgery.
Notes: Drew Stubbs could be the steal of this round with his 15/40 potential.

| 12. | Jermaine Dye | Seeking Relief |
Delmon Young reported to camp "In the best shape of his career". While I don't put a ton of stock into that, I am hoping that he brings the plate approach that helped him hit .340/.346/.544 with four home runs and a .204 ISO in September of last season.

| 11. | Chris Getz | Piranhas |
| 12. | Buster Posey | Seeking Relief |
This could prove to be a huge valuefor depth at shortstop and second if Ian Desmond wins the starting shortstop job for the Nationals. He has potential for 10-15 home runs and 20-plus stolen bases over a full season.
