I had my annual roto league draft last night. Would appreciate your feedback on how it went! I had the 11th pick (of 20) and I've added the round/overall pick next to the player, along with other positional eligibility.
Yahoo, One year Roto, 20 teams (420 players drafted)
Daily lineups, Max games/innings = 162/1250, No max moves
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 3OF, Util / 2SP, 2RP, 3P, 5BN, 3IL, 1NA
R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS / W, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP (6 x 6)
Well... Can't say I've done roto or a league this deep so I'm probably not the right guy. But I do like that you got some steals early. I just think you'll lack in HR/RBI for most of the year. Especially if Alvarez goes down.
I'm curious to know who else went when you took Alvarez, Lynn and Swanson.
Yeah that had crossed my mind as the draft was going on. Trying to find balance but also ensure I have enough power to help HR/RB/OPS. Here are rounds 3 to 5:
Hindsight I might have gone with a more power bat instead of Swanson, but at the time I remember thinking that he has good coverage across the board and wasn't sure about later SS giving me enough power. Maybe Didi but I made a decision and was too tired to change it!
I knew I wanted a SP where I picked Lynn as I didn't want to miss out on potentially solid and a workhorse as my #1.
Yeah need Alvarez to stay healthy and have a big year.
