Post-Draft Review: Chase-ing Pink

Chase-ing Pink (ClemensDirtyNeedles) came away from the draft with a consensus steal as of the end of April: Pat “the bat” Burrell. In OBP leagues, Burrell is Diet Adam Dunn - he’ll never impress with the average, but a high OBP and he’ll hit 35+ HRs if he stays healthy. In the 9th round of our draft, I’d [...]

Post-Draft Review: Da Jesus

Da Jesus had an interesting draft. He went strong on pitching in the first two rounds, taking guys that the Dynasty Killas would have considered histop 2 pitchers on draft day: Aaron Harang and James Shields. Subsequently trading strength to plug weakness (and strengthen keepers), Da Jesus traded Harang for Troy Tulowitzki prior to opening day in the [...]

Jon Miller: Prototypical HOF Wingman

Jon Miller, radio voice of the San Francisco Giants and play-by-play man for ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, is much more than a silky mic guy…his obvious potential as a world-class wingman has gone unnoticed for far too long…

Best Picks 2008

I’m going to pick out who I think was the best pick by round in the draft. These are obviously predictions, and some will be arbitrary. Picks are based on relative value and potential impact. Many of the later round picks were difficult to assess best and worst. There will be full rounds that end [...]

Best Picks 2007

I decided to look at the best and worst picks in the draft from last year. These are, of course, all hindsight, so it’s pretty easy.

Post-Draft Review: RA Dickey Dicks

RA Dickey Dicks’ draft went well. Considering his team, I can’t single out a truly questionable pick until the 12th round. With Dunn, Berkman, Lee and Roberts there was speed and power to build on, and with Dice-K and Francisco Cordero, the team had a good start on wins and ks. Cordero was of questionable keeper quality.

Post-Draft Review: Dynasty Killas

Dynasty Killas draft was somewhat victimized by overthinking. While attempting to find good value Killas failed to anticipate correctly on a number of draft selections and ended up with a competitive team, but not the best team.

Post-Draft Review: Ghosts of Sal Fasano

Employing his trademarked blackout for the last few rounds strategy, Ghosts has pulled off a pretty solid team leading into the season.

Can Dynasty Killas beat Wicked Obnoxious?

Since there is a sidebet (and I am prominently involved) it’s a good time to compare these teams.

The Draft

Long awaited, the draft occured on Tuesday March 18th and was an affair full of captain, coke, whiskey, PBR and olives.
 These are the results (a team by team analysis will follow):
