Cwik’s Auction Draft Results For My Team
It cost me $31, but I got Lester
My final draft, in fellow blogger Chris Cwiks’ league, took place last Thursday, and it was a marathon to put it lightly. The draft nearly lasted five hours with no breaks.
In a draft that long you can’t have some crazyness or some questionable bids.
Here were the top moments.
1.By accident, and later fixed by Cwik, an owner bidded $111 on Joey Votto. He probably meant to bid 11, but put in an extra 1, and for about 30 picks, he was stuck with Votto at 111, before being allowed to select him at 40 bucks.
2. Justin Upton going for $50, the same value as Pujols and 3 dollars more than Hanley Ramirez
3. Troy Tulowitzki was the 5th most expensive player at $42. Ahead of him were: Upton and Pujols for $50, Hanley for $47 and Braun for $44.
4. Rafael Soriano went for $7 and Alfonso Soriano went for $5
5. Jason Heyward was the 2nd player nominated in the auction and went for $11. He was the second most expensive player to never play a MLB game to Stephen Strasburg at $14
My strategy was built on one of two premises
Scenario 1: Get Hanley Ramirez
Scenario 2: Get Troy Tulowitzki
2010 Fantasy Baseball: 3rd Basemen Rankings
Posted by Chris Cwik in Baseball, Fantasy on January 26, 2010
Can David Wright rebound?
It only took 535 plate appearances from Alex Rodriguez to make him the number one 3rd baseman in 2010. While A-Rod’s last two seasons have not been up to par, no one has been able to overtake the Yankee in the past few seasons. David Wright was the likely candidate to usurp Rodriguez, but a power outage in 2009 has Wright’s status in limbo. Evan Longoria, Ryan Zimmerman, and Mark Reynolds all had breakout seasons; but need to show consistency to overtake A-Rod next season. There are many players that have question marks coming into the 2010 fantasy season, but 3rd base offers some solid depth to those who wait.
