Oh, and Jack: the widely accepted "don't draft too much pitching early" theory? Not sure I buy it anymore.

Posted by TFox Mar 11 '09, 16:05

It is based on the idea that middle ground pitchers are more valuable than middle ground hitters, so you are better grabbing the top bats and making due with the pitchers. But I think there are more top-tier pitchers now than in the last few years, so a pitching-heavy strategy can work.

5 pitching categories, 5 batting categories. I think a pitching + leadoff guys with speed strategy can be devastating in a head-to-head league like this.

    - That includes logging on to the draft ten minutes early. -- nm - Inigo Mar 11, 16:20
Meanwhile, I believe in the "never draft a pitcher before round 10" philosophy. - David Mar 11, 16:15 1
- I think the top 20 on my pitching board are far above the rest. I'll probably try to get at least 2 of them. - TFox Mar 11, 16:20
