BLUE HEN RIBC RECAP
1. Plan
Same as always, go heavy on power and relievers. With Votto, Stanton, and Upton (and Moss) hitting and Jansen, Robertson, and Hunter pitching, I think this worked out perfectly.
2. Favorite Picks
Looking closer, I think Billy Hamilton is my favorite pick. Hard to envision a scenario where he doesn't steal 50 bases. And I could see 80 or 90 as well. When I took him in the 4th round, it felt like a reach, but now I feel like I would have taken him in the 3rd.
3. All Teams
Half these managers are in G20. Toral won G20 in 2012, so you can never count him out in any league, ever. And he has good makeup - wish I would have made room for Santana, Rendon, Holliday, and Markakis on my own team. Some gambles in his starting pitching, but the upside is there.
Also really like Tosh's team - they'll be tough to beat.
4. Surprises
Honestly, the hitters that went later than they should. Votto, Stanton, and Upton all went much later than I expected and I'm really happy to have them. And Matt Holliday was still around in round 5! I would have taken him but already had 3 outfielders and a 1B. Big value there. Maybe I missed out on other positions because of it, but I think you guys may have missed the boat on these early hitters.
5. Whole Thing Over
No way. I intend to win this year. If I don't, I suspect it'll be pitching that does me in - Weaver, Nova, and Burnett as my three starters could blow up. And my MI guys were all drafted late, but I'm generally happy with who I have.
And real happy to have Billy Hamilton.
