Fantasy Baseball team, I mean. Yup. It’s time for your least favorite post of the year. The one where I discuss the fantasy team I drafted for this season! I know. The only thing worse than talking about fantasy teams is blogging about them. But, what better way to celebrate the start of the season? Plus, I apparently haven't done this in a while, so I gave you a break.
Just as a quick reminder, this is a nine team 5x5 league, with 30 roster spots. So, it's a big league. You have three keepers, and they take the place of your draft pick in whatever round you originally drafted the player. (I love that detail.) I had the seventh pick in a wraparound draft. Got that?
So, who did I get?
C - W. Contreras MIL
1B - B. Harper PHI
2B - C. Rafaela BOS
3B - R. Devers BOS
SS - O. Cruz PIT
CI - T. Casas BOS
MI - D. Swanson CHC
OF - M. Trout LAA
OF - I. Happ CHC
OF - J. Duran BOS
OF - T. Ward LAA
U - L Gurriel Je ARI
U - J. Young WSH
U - T. Story BOS
B - W. Abreu BOS
B - D. Moore SEA
B - D. Moore SEA
SP - G. Crochet BOS
SP - L. Webb SF
SP - B. Miller SEA
RP - J. Hader HOU
RP - M. Miller ATH
P - T. Houck BOS
P - J. Steele CHC
P - W. Buehler BOS
P - M. Gore WSH
B - G. Jax MIN
B - J. Adam SD
B - G. Whitlock BOS
B - L. Erceg
B - B. Bello BOS
My three keepers were Rafael Devers (round ten), Contreras (round twelve) and Jarren Duran (round thirteen). So, nice set of reinforcements in the middle of the draft. I grabbed Harper in the first round.
From there, I was able to grab plenty of Red Sox players. I'm always actually surprised with how many I end up with. Obviously, Devers is a legit pick that you don't need to be a Sox fan to grab. Same with Duran. Especially in the double digit rounds. Crochet was my second round pick. Which might seem high, but remember most of the best players weren't available to draft. Casas I got in the eighth round. Maybe too high, but not that bad. Houck, for a reigning all star, was a steal in the 16th round. Rafaella I felt was a good grab in the 18th. Epecially since he can play infield and outfield. Story, Abreu, and Buehler were taken much to late in the 21st, 22nd, and 23rd rounds. Whitlock was a steal at 27 if he's the bullpen stud he can be. And, Bello at 28 was almost criminal. So, eleven Red Sox, but none of them seem crazy to me.
So, while I know you probably need to see the rest of my league to decide how my team will do, I welcome any comments on any of my selections.
Think I got any good ones?
