ok Baseball peeps, got an exercise for you......

Posted by groiny (aka groiny) Dec 1 '11, 13:35

my keeper league draft is in 2 weeks, and i have narrowed down the first 2 rounds worth of players, here is a list of what is available. I have 7 of the first 20 picks. Rank these guys regardless of position based on long term team building.

Hudson,Daniel
Hellickson,Jeremy
McCarthy,Brandon
Pineda,Michael
Beachy,Brandon
Minor,Mike
Kimbrel,Craig
Salas,Fernando
Sale,Chris
Jansen,Kenley
Ackley, Dustin
Ellsbury, Jacoby
Freeman, Freddie
Hosmer, Eric
Jennings, Desmond
Lawrie, Brett
Moustakas, Michael
Trout, Mike
Belt, Brandon

Let's just assume I have NO positions accounted ofr already, I am just looking for the best players regardless of position.

My top 7....Ellsbury (easy) .... Jennings, Homser, Pineda, Hosmer, Freeman, Trout - Will Hunting Dec 1, 13:54 7
- do we really think Ellsbury is a perennial 25+ homer guy? nm -- nm - groiny Dec 1, 13:57 2
  - I dunno, but the guy was a MVP level candidate....to not have his performance in the top 7 is unthinkable. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 13:58
  - no. but he's an all-around beast. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 13:57
- Will really likes Eric Hosmer -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 13:55 3
  - I think there's a fair bit of dropoff but Hosmer did solid and I like him going forward. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 13:59 2

      - Dammit --- make the 2nd Hosmer --- Ackley. Positional shortage. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 14:07
7 out of the first 20?? Damn -- nm - amoxy Dec 1, 13:39 3
- you should see what I traded to put myself in that position. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 1, 13:40 2
  - You think Trevor Crowe has a future? - amoxy Dec 1, 13:44 1
    - he is not real high on my list. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 1, 13:45

- I am on the fence with Trout. - groiny Dec 1, 13:46 17
  - I'd way rather have 10/50. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 13:50 15

      - fyi, here are how I initially rank them.... - groiny Dec 1, 13:56 9
        
        Any system that has Ellsbury that low is deeply flawed either via scoring or scouting. - Will Hunting Dec 1, 14:06

        *ML* thinks you're overthinking this. M. L. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 13:58 5
        
        well, my first selection is #3, so I do not expect to land him anyway. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 1, 14:00 3
        
        no, that's true. that's like a "i want to feel better about not landing him" ranking. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 14:00 2
        
        but if he does fall to 3 and you *don't* take him, i will never respect you again. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 14:02 1
        
        well, I fully expect him to go #1 and Pineda to go #2 based on conversations - groiny Dec 1, 14:04

        14 for Ellsbury? You're on weed smoke. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 13:57
    - for strict fantasy purposes, yes. This is geared more for OPS. - groiny Dec 1, 13:51 3
      - yeah, if you have weird scoring (don't make me rant again about my hatred for weird scoring) then our ranks will be marginally useless. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 13:52 2
        
        at least he's not using Don Homer's naming algorithm. -- nm - loosilu Dec 1, 13:54
        
        not really.... - groiny Dec 1, 13:53
