I have 1st pick this year. I dont know why but I'm having a really hard time deciding between:

Miguel
Albert
Cano
Prince
Bautista

I have them currently ranked in that order

Miguel BY FAR.

I haven't looked up most leagues...but Miggy most likely will still be eligible at 1st and 3rd...while Pujols is going to be a 1B only. In any case he is going to have lights out 3B numbers...think of a power 3B but with actual, natural talent.

And, as much as it sickens me to say, , I'd even trade down for Cano over Albert just because the talent at 1B around the league is so high.

Miggy, no question.

I think Hanley is going to be a forgotten gem this year. Eligible at SS and 3B makes him one hell of a pick.

I dont know why but I have a feeling Hanley isn't going to have a good year.

Also in my other league it's a keeper league currently I have these guys:

Puljos
Wright
Richie Weeks
C.C.
Pineda

J.Montero is my last one but I also have R. Howard. Anyone think I should be keeping Howard instead. He's probably not projected to play until July I think or maybe even further down the road.

I'm from Philly and there's whispers that he'll be out the entire year, so I would stay away from him unless you get him dirt cheap (if you're in an auction league). Otherwise, I wouldn't touch him until late in your draft.

I'm in an auction/keeper league and we draft next weekend. Keeping Bautista and Kershaw for a total of about $60 (cap of $260). Just hoping Bautista doesn't get caught roiding.. besides that, i like my foundation.

Tough.. I mean, Howard won't be back until after the Break.. so I'd probably have to go Montero.

Yea I had a feeling that was going to happen. I'm also going to keep Valverde over Wright as well. Trying to decide if Pineda is worth keeping. It's an 18 team league so there will be slim pickings.

This is what I'm working with: Bold is keeping for now. I might keep Kendrick over Pineda now that I'm thinking about it. 2B will be hard to come by.

Quote from IPT : PMed, answer me!

I'm gonna go ahead and blame this on the City of New York for obvious reasons.

http://detroit.tigers.mlb.com/new...t&c_id=det

Young arrested, could face hate-crime charge
Tigers outfielder involved in confrontation at New York hotel

Drunk outside the hotel...but he was not in the starting lineup...but I still don't understand how he is out at 2:30 in the morning, drunk, when he has to go to work in the morning. Seriously, you have to work for 10 years to be set for life....

curtie, update the thread title

I thought he napped before and during the game?

Updated.

Yea, I do feel sorry for him...working batting practice is something I like to see as a fan, gets some stars out while you are just killing some time, and now that someone hurt themselves pretty major while doing it I can just picture a ton of stars being all whinny and never doing it anymore.

mo does it every game
he also always has fun with the people in center field when he's shagging these balls
he signs autographs during this time period too.

Quote from SkeezaPleez : I thought he napped before and during the game?

he naps or chills in the dugout/clubhouse until about the 6th inning.
then after the 6th he makes his way to the bullpen normally.
