WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted March 3, 2014 alright so i had a list of 5 SP. Felix, Fernandez, Bumgarner and then a tossup between Sale and Tanaka. So that choice was made for me and im happy about it as I think i was leaning Tanaka with a better offense behind him. Phillips.... bleh. Total need pick as Zobrist is my only starting middle infielder at this point. 3 players that I really didn't want to pass on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lambert58 56 Posted March 3, 2014 Phillips is a solid pick. That Reds offense is dangerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted March 3, 2014 solid pick but not a "fun" pick. wish i had landed johnson or escobar in the draft so i could have made a more interesting pick there. i think if Sale had lasted i just might have gone Tanaka/Sale and started shopping one of my SP.

GuardBum 73 Posted March 3, 2014 Was really thinking about Tanaka. None of the other SP on the board wowed me enough to make a play for them. Figured I could get more for my buck with a C that plays every day. Now having the CLE C for sure between Santana and Gomes I should have solid production regardless. Plus if Santana also gets the 3B experiment I'll have additional eligibility there. Should have a lot of play on my INF now. Satisfactory OF depth. Might look to trade for one more. Only 2 other players really sparked my interest with this pick and I felt I'd then have a roster choice too often. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted March 3, 2014 meant to look at this after the regular draft but not too late. So who did you get and who did you miss out on during the draft? I feel like I was set up where I only missed out on Shields in the first 3 rounds. But after that I very quickly missed on Crawford, Rodney, Loney, Johnson etc... the middle rounds killed me. Definitely missed out on more than I was able to land. Got Bautista R. Soriano Garza Peralta Navarro Kazmir De La Rosa Missed Shields Rodney Upton Crawford Benoit Loney Kelly Johnson Escobar Qualls DeJesus Joyce Odorizzi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 3, 2014 My plans were a thrown off a bit when the ridiculous run on Rangers players led to Mora taking Kinsler in round 2. I didn't like my chances of getting Fister again as the Nationals had fewer priority players to target than I did. Mora also grabbed Benoit before I expected, which will limit me in the holds category. On the bright side, I did secure two playoff-contending closers, and was able to trade for Kinsler without taking much of a loss (though the trade would have been a huge success if Braun had dropped one more spot). Important players that I got/missed: Got Fielder Nathan Grilli Hunter Joyce Missed Kinsler (later traded for) Fister Peralta Martinez Rodney Benoit Infante Davis Veras Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbascom 20 Posted March 3, 2014 Wasn't necessarily going after everyone I missed...man did I have a lot of options pretty much everywhere though. This has certainly been a lot of fun so far for my first year. Can't wait for the season to start! Got: Hanley Ramirez Mike Napoli Victor Martinez Shane Victorino Edward Mujica AJ Pierzynski Jed Lowrie Andrew Miller Mark Melancon Missed: Adrian Beltre Adrian Gonzalez John Lackey Koji Uehara Jarrod Saltalamacchia Marlon Byrd Johhny Gomes Carl Crawford Coco Crisp Jose Iglesias Adam LarocheJames Loney Marco Scutaro Bartolo Colon Carlos Pena Mike Aviles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted March 3, 2014 Got: Rios Rasmus Dickey Johnson Happ Escobar Arencibia Davis League Frasor Jeffress Missed: Bautista Werth Cabrera Navarro Scutaro Izturis Carpenter Molina Buck Downs Rzepczynski Bonifacio The selections were certainly different than last year. With Halladay and Carpenter both retiring, 2 early picks were off the board. That really only left me with 2 pitchers that would be anywhere near the top of my list. I got lucky and got them both without really hurting my selections. I was only ever going to get 1 of my OF. Would I have liked Joey Bats... sure but Rios could possibly be even more explosive in that TEX lineup and park hitting behind Fielder. I didn't really lose anything after the first round for awhile. Scutaro was lower on my list just because of the health of Escobar and the flexibility and lineup of Johnson. Melky I didn't really want so I started stocking up on RP. Got Carpenter and Downs taken before I expected. Bonifacio would have been a nice stash but couldn't justify the roster position more than the exclusives I will use rather than someone fighting to even make the MLB roster for pt. I'll have to hope my SP can stay healthy because they really do have the ability to be solid staff for fantasy purposes. No studs but potentially 6 #2 or 3's.

WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted March 3, 2014 Also i feel like the Jays were the team that thwarted me the most, grabbing Johnson and Escobar.... not big names but key names in the fact i needed middle infield help. Likely payback for Joey bats. Dodgers also stole Crawford and Loney from me. Loney was soooo close to making it back to my 6/7 turn. I probably sniped from the Angels the most. Peralta, Kazmir and De La Rosa. a Starter and 2 holds guys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Likely payback for Joey bats. While revenge could be used for motivation, I just went where the coverage of positions and availability took me. I had 2 guys in the top 50 to draft and 4 in the top 200. I got 2 of the 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackClouds 24 Posted March 3, 2014 I probably sniped from the Angels the most. Peralta, Kazmir and De La Rosa. a Starter and 2 holds guys. Don't forget Jose Molina. Peralta was a gut shot. With the Rays stellar rotation, he gets a ton of hold opportunities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 3, 2014 The Stanton slide finally ends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lambert58 56 Posted March 3, 2014 Stanton falling had me concerned that I would have to decide if I wanted him. Absolutely thrilled that Jay Bruce fell to me in the 2nd. Love the potential of Cabrera. Before his suspension he had 5 triples and 37 steals with less than 400 AB's. Feel I have depth all around now and can mix players depending on my team needs. I can go with the speed lineup to get steals when needed with Cabrera and Bourjols. Solid backups at every position except catcher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lambert58 56 Posted March 3, 2014 Stanton's one of the most talented players around. Just has no one around him and the ballpark will sap his power numbers in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bbascom 20 Posted March 3, 2014 And my boy chapman falls. I drafted him last year actually thinking he was going to transition to starter but he worked out well as my second closer Yeah, I was just looking over my roster before that pick and realized I had only really drafted 1 CP so far...definitely needed one and it was a toss up between him and Reed but Chapman gets the nod because of the ridiculous number of K's he gets.

ZeroTolerance 582 Posted March 3, 2014 Ugh, I despise this pick. Was hoping a stud OF or Posey would slide, but knew the Angels would grab Buster. Pure 'need' pick. The lesson to be learned is that pitchers are not coveted in the supplemental draft, so I could have waited until the second round to take one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,172 Posted March 3, 2014 Im not sure that SP are not coveted but id say there was probably a top 3 or 4 on most peoples boards. I had a top 5 but tanaka is a fairly speculative play. Alot of the pitchers that can be had in the supp can easily slide in as top 3 guys on a lot of teams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GuardBum 73 Posted March 3, 2014 Stanton has great potential. Bruce is solid sure numbers. I couldn't decide who I liked better so Gomez was my pick. The Santana flexibility really appealed to me. Certainly not BPA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Santana flexibility really appealed to me. Certainly not BPA.I was really after Braun in the first but that fell through. For the second, I was hoping one of the top two catchers or a Bruce/Stanton level OF would make it. In hindsight, the better plan would have been to just take Gomez and then end up with a certain currently undrafted SP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackClouds 24 Posted March 3, 2014 I got both my players I was targeting, which filled my glaring holes at 3B and C.
