MLB Showdown: Draft Recap

6 man Draft League Recap

Total:
You only have 22 IP out of a staff and only 3 relievers. At least twice a time through the rotation at best someone is pitching tired. This isn’t an NL league where you can steal IP. Starters only give up 1 walk as a staff with a C+6. Lots of small ball runs even with the great OF defense.

Hybrid speed/power. Really awkward with Cabrera and Ortiz. Not sure where to put them with Gonzalez and Griffey. Encarnacion could have played first for the price paid for Zobrist

Good choices but you still need at least 1 more 100 pointer to at least try and steal innings.

Cheap. No complaints except with 76 points you could lose Loney who won’t ever play and get an 80 pt reliever who would be much more useful

23 IP and walks for everyone but Hamels with the C+6. Your 2-3-4 are going to get roughed up but Stammen will pitch in anything close. Stammen is going to throw as many innings as Doubront if not more.

One of those line-ups that just doesn’t seem to make a lot of sense. You switch Fielder for Gomes and you can turn up-grade anyone you want with 180 extra points. They spent the most and I have them finishing 3rd in runs.

Stammen is a 5th starter spread over all the starts. I like the 4 man option. Nothing lights out but solid enough.
