Message #50 of 405  *NEW* To :   All From :   Reedster   Subject :   Rotoman's Regulars League Date :   2/21/06, 5:48pm I have joined the Regulars League at askrotoman.com (I advertised this site and PlayerTrack in his magazine this year -- the one with the powder blue cover and Pujols on the cover). Serpentine. I just learned that I will be picking 13th. That will REALLY put me to the test. This draft is this weekend, so I will post up my results to get your opinions. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #50 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 36259 reads This message has been added to these BGEEKS Blogs: Diary of A Baseball Geek

Message #55 of 405  *NEW* To :   Reedster From :   Reedster   Subject :   Re: Rotoman's Regulars League Date :   2/25/06, 10:03am I am going to be live blogging my first draft of the roto season tomorrow (5:30pm PST). I am expecting this to be an example of why playing in a 20 team league is a complete crap shoot. I pick 13th, so my first pick is #13, my second pick is #27, and my third pick is #40. Not sure how anyone can make a half way decent team in this spot. I will try. I am thinking that I am going to have to rely on gambles, though. So, I will either be the best team, or the worst team. No in between. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #55 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 37425 reads This message has been added to these BGEEKS Blogs: Diary of A Baseball Geek

We only get one catcher, so with my third pick, I am eyeing catcher because of position scarcity. Victor Matinez is the only guy taken so far. Holding my breath a certain Twins catcher is available with #40. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #60 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 59373 reads

Message #78 of 405  *NEW* To :   Reedster From :   Jaydawg   Subject :   Re: Rotoman's Regulars League Date :   2/26/06, 6:37pm Garland is a terrific pickup. Oliver Perez could be a good sleeper pick later on if he's available. Scot Shields is a good middle reliever to have and he usually pitches a lot of extra innings. Akinori Otsuka is the same way, but I'm not sure if he'll adapt well to pitching for the Rangers. • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #78 • Start New Topic • Back to Topics 83381 reads

It could sure as hell be a lot worse. Some young unproven talent in the infield, but talented. Outfield is not that bad. I think Carl Everett can still hit.
