We have our annual draft out on the redwood deck this Saturday, with kraut dogs, potato salad, chili and refreshments. I took last place in 2014. Need to actually study this year.
We don't do pitchers. It's just a formula involving runs, hits, xbh, HR, rbi and steals. We draft 15 players with 8 starters filling each position (including 3 OFs) and the next best player counting full value as a DH.
Trout is the #1 pick without even having to think about it. After Trout, who knows?
Tulowitzki always gets hurt. Is this the year he stays healthy? In 9 years, he's played over 150 games twice.
Is this the year Bryce Harper breaks out? Can Puig stay healthy and out of trouble? Right now McClutchen and Stanton are ahead of those kids. Jose Bautista had a great year in 2014 and is 34 years old.
Buster Posey is a first round pick. There's a bunch of other catchers that are interesting like LuCroy and Mesoraco.
How do hitter friendly parks effect Josh Donaldson and the Big Panda?
The Cubs have a kid named Kris Bryant with 8 HRs in Spring Training. Red Sox have a rookie named Mookie Betts and a Cuban named Rusney Castillo. Dodgers have rookie Joc Pederson.
Marcell Ozuna looks like an up and comer in Miami. With Christian Yelich and Stanton, that's a good OF. With Dee Gordon at the top of the order, maybe Miami is the best offense that nobody knows about.
Ryan Braun?
Can Pujols and Votto rebound?
