This year, I am in two fantasy baseball leagues. My first draft is tonight.
This is my fourth straight year doing fantasy baseball at a somewhat competitive level. The last two years, I won a little money (coming in third out of fourteen teams both years), but this year I am hoping to win it all. My teams have generally performed like the Yankees - they have an awesome regular season, but when the playoffs come, they don't seem to hold their own.
I'll keep you guys informed how it goes- the results will be posted later tonight.
Back in March, I completed my fantasy baseball draft. It was a tough season, and many of my players were injured or traded.
Of my initial draft, I only kept a handful of players (Michael Young, David Ortiz, Carlos Pena, Brandon Webb, Ichiro Suzuki, Daisuke Matsuzaka, and Matt Kemp) through the entire year. I made some good trades (J.D. Drew and Brandon Lyon for Matt Garza and Jason Bay in August) and some bad trades (John Lackey and Jose Lopez for Brandon Phillips).
All in all, I will finish third out of fourteen teams, so I will receive a small sum of money. I'll try and do better next year.
Today, I (Jeff) had a live, online fantasy draft on Yahoo. There were fourteen teams in the draft, and I think I came away with a good team. Here were my picks:
Round 1- David Ortiz
Round 2- Ichiro Suzuki
Round 3- Brandon Webb
Round 4- John Lackey
Round 5- Carlos Pena
Round 6- Michael Young
Round 7- Billy Wagner
Round 8- Daisuke Matsuzaka
Round 9- Aaron Hill
Round 10- Matt Kemp
Round 11- Tim Hudson
Round 12- Hank Blalock
Round 13- Ivan Rodriguez
Round 14- Heath Bell
Round 15- Gil Meche
Round 16- J.D. Drew
Round 17- Randy Johnson
Round 18- Casey Blake
Round 19- Brandon Lyon
Round 20- Shaun Marcum
Round 21- Moises Alou
I came in third out of sixteen teams last year, so hopefully I'll improve and win it all.
