My League's MiLB Draft
Hey Guys,
Ive seen others do this so I thought it would be cool to post it here. My league is a 16 team league with a 7x7 scoring system. Your normal five stats with OPS and Runs counting for the hitters and Holds and Quality Starts for the pitchers. We had a completely random draft (once we snaked thru a round, the order would change randomly again). We had a 40 Round MLB draft as well as a 40 round MiLB Draft.
Just thought Id post this to see some of your reactions to good picks and not so good picks:

but
Shelley Duncan?
Desmond Jennings and Fautino weren't in the top 80?
Not a fan of your collection, I wouldn't have focused on pitching.

Should have
Im not sure why the guy took Shelley Duncan, that totally flabergasted me.
I totally forgot about Desmond Jennings and then when I remembered him a guy took him like four picks before I could.
Thanks for the feedback though.

Not sure I understand this

Not a joke
Jay Bruce very well might not even play a MILB game this year. In a minor league fantasy league, where minor league stats are being counted, would you rather have him, or somebody who is actually playing and contributing to your bottom line?

except....
The only thing I can figure is that either a) this is a league that counts minor league stats or b) this is the first year of a new keeper league. Probably the latter, but I wouldn't laugh at someone for thinking the former.

My advice
Dont try to get too clever. Simple is better. This is coming from a guy whose league has a 10 page constitution... but the game play needs to stay simple - our rules are about player transactions and salaries, etc...
Also, yes, its 130 ABs for ROY, so you should look into whether that was a strategic move by the guy with the first pick.

*i* care.
but seriously - league draft reviews are some of my favorite posts on the site. i love seeing where the current market for players is, as determined by real multiple-human interaction. even if some of the humans involved are clearly demented.
i don't get this recurring pattern of 20 inane one-line diaries sailing by without remark and then people bitching about the ones that actually have content. even if it really was useless, what's the point? are you paying for this blog by the diary?

why the hate on fantasy leagues?
Without fantasy baseball 95% of the users on this board wouldn't be here.
Relax.
