June 19, 200916 yr QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Mar 27, 2009 -> 11:01 AM) Here's a few things I've noticed in my drafts, and since I am done I will release my knowledge in case any of you have some late ones scheduled. Hilarious Post. Without touching Adenhart, I will disect the rest of this post almost 3 months later. (even though you already got your balls busted 2 months ago.) Clayton Kershaw I have no idea why IDIOTS out there are not more all over this kid. He's going to be a top ten starting pitcher this year. Think of the run support, plus his natural progression. I'm calling 17 wins and he's going like pick 140 (to me) in every draft. Last year was a primer, this year he busts out. Just look to his 20/4 K/BB ratio in Spring. IDIOTS. I agree with some of this, especially in a keeper league. Though, he has not busted out yet. Matt Wieters I've seen people dropping this kid. They are nuts. He's probably the best catcher in baseball right now, but the Orioles are (smartly) playing the arb clock game with him. Draft him and patch him with a guy like AJ or Kelly Shoppach for a month and a half and then laugh as you have the best catcher from then on... Best catcher? LMAO . Maybe next year, but I still have a hard time believing he will catch Mauer within the next 5 years. Closers I laugh anytime someone takes a closer before like round 14. Guys like Hanrahan, Motte, and Devine can be had super late. HILARIOUS ! So which one of those guys are a closer? There's a lot more, but these are the glaring problems. Also, if some dork drops David Price in your league, pick him up. May 19 12:53am David Price (TB - SP) Drop Sticky Steve Waivers 11th place Steve? 1. ZoomSlowik 58-35-7 .615 - 9-1-0 6 1 2.
