I have the 3rd pick in a draft tonight for a league the scores as below. We have it narrowed down to Utley and A-Rod (Pujols and Hanley are 1 and 2 already) - who should we go for? We are thinking Utley since there is a chance of getting Zimmerman/ and MAYBE Longoria on the way back. I usually do fairly well in fantasy each year but I am stumped on this one!

 

Scoring for Batting Categories

1B - Singles 1 point

2B - Doubles 2 points

3B - Triples 3 points

BB - Walks (Batters) .5 points

GSHR - Grand Slam Home Runs 5 points

HP - Hit by Pitch .5 points

HR - Home Runs 4 points

KO - Strikeouts (Batter) -1 point

R - Runs 2 points

RBI - Runs Batted In 2 points

SB - Stolen Bases 2 points

SF - Sacrifice Flies 1 point

 

FWIW, A-rod and projected to have 744.5 points int his league while Utley at 732. We were originally A-Rod but now that Ian Kinsler could miss some time (we were high on him) we like Chase.

ARod easily will outpace Utley in stats. He missed a month plus last year with injuries.

I'd rather have Braun than Arod or Utley.

That's wayyyyyyyyyy too many batting categories. Triples? lol. I doubt Longoria will still be on the board by the time you make your second pick. But Zimmerman, Sandoval and Reynolds should all still be there. So I'd no doubt go with Utley.

Well I wouldn't. The end.

Longoria lasted and we actually ended up with a very nice team

Took a chance on Reyes in round 7 since we had a lot of good offense by round 6, hopefully it pays off - Taking Utley definitely worked out well

I felt the same way going into my first year in it last year, not so bad after a couple of weeks getting used to

May I ask how many teams are in this league? No way it's 12.

I'm not a real fan of your starters. Too much inconsistency there.

I know, hopefully the offense can help carry
