Chose Bedard, seems to have the most upside. Jackson could pile up quite a few wins though, given the offense he's pitching in front of.

Erik Bedard $6 was my vote. Plenty of upside on this one.

JEA2880 · Mar 18, 2011

I've been banking on Bedard's "upside" for three years now and he just can't stay on the field. I voted for EJ, solid starter who will always be in there.

How the hell did you manage to grab Longoria for $2?

My thoughts exactly.

Edwin is also good for K's.

Im guessing he drafted Longoria at the prospect price (which is $2 or $3 depending on the league) a few years ago.

I drafted Longoria when he was in the minors for $1. After he is protected for 2 years the price goes up by 1/2 rounded to the nearest $1. Goes up again by half of his value two years later etc.

Last year Chris Davis went for $31 because so many top players are protected at very low rates. You might think Peirre at $23 is high, but last year Borbon went for over $30. Speed is tough to get and having Pierre automatically gets me 3 to 4 points in SB alone

Pretty much correct on Longoria, and thanks

I bet i could get bedard for around $10 while Jackson could get $20. niemann last year went for $24

I didnt realize that AL/NL only league prices were so high

:shock:

I only do mixed leagues

Huffamaniac · Mar 18, 2011

It is mostly because it is a keeper league

E-Jax is a beast. He racks up Ks and while sometimes inconsistent, is capable of greatness.

By the way, Porcello is going to have a worth-more-than-one-dollar-salary year this season..good call to hold him

Huffamaniac · Mar 18, 2011

Porcello is a no brainer at $1.00

There is 10 teams and 9 pitchers drafted per team. I am looknig at getting Coke. Think he will fair well? I am sure I can get for a $1-$3 range

He was TOUGH out of the bullpen last year for Detroit and he has looked pretty solid in ST so far from what I've seen. I think he will be at least an average pitcher this year so if you can get him cheap like that, he could be a real bargain to clear some cap room for you to focus on other positions.

It's also worth noting that the Tigers have improved their team since last year so I expect their pitchers across the board to average 2-3 more victories. I think they're a 90-95 win team this year, maybe more if their pitching is better than expected, maybe less if vice versa.
