Which drafted fantasy baseball player was a steal for you this year?

Question

For me it was Mike Mussina somewhere in the 10th round or so

2) Who was the worst pick of your draft?
Morgan Ensberg in the third or fourth round - 18 HRs but lousy average and now on DL

3) What was the best move you made?
Traded Barry Bonds away for Chris Capuano

4) What was the worst move you made?
Dropping Jim Thome before the season began

5) Which player do you NOT have in any of your fantasy baseball leagues that wish you had right now?
I'd say David Wright - 3Bs are hard to obtain now

Answer 1

Chris Young was one of my late picks, that's turned out to be a steal. Everyone Else slept on him. Also, I never expected Travis Hafner to be around in the 5th round, but that's when I got him, and that's been huge.

Good waiver pick-ups: Ryan Howard!! and Aramis Ramirez

Worst Pick: I hate to say it, but taking Vlad Guerrero with the fourth pick hasn't really paid off. But he's my favorite player, so I'll stick with him. Also, Bobby Abreu hasn't lived up to being a third-round pick.

Best move: Very early on, I traded Juan Pierre, Mark Mulder, and Chris Reitsma and got Carlos Beltran, Scott Kazmir, and Bob Wickman. (I have since traded Kazmir for Papelbon).
Also, I traded Eric Chavez for Jhonny Peralta just before Chavez went on the DL an Peralta started hitting.

Worst Move: I dropped Wickman just before he was traded to Atlanta. Not too upset about it. I picked up Jorge Julio, who has been the man since he got to Arizona.

wish list: Chase Utley, Francisco Liriano, Joe Mauer, and then the obvious ones, like pujols and Soriano.

BUT! I'm in first place by seven games, so I can't really complain. I love baseball.

Answer 2

1) Steals of the draft: Mike Mussina in the 24th round and Bonderman in the 20th.

2) Who was the worst pick of your draft? Eddie Guardado in the 13th round (I had a great draft)

3) What was the best move you made?
Three way tie:
Dropped Eddie Guardado, Added Akinori Otsuka
Dropped David Weathers, Added J.J. Putz
Dropped Scott Mathieson, Added Mike Napoli

4) What was the worst move you made?
Trading Jason Schmidt in mid-May for Brad Lidge. That didn't pan out, so I made the moves above and now Lidge is riding pine. Good thing I have Zambrano, Mussina, and Bonderman!

5) Which player do you NOT have in any of your fantasy baseball leagues that wish you had right now? That's a tough one but I'd probably have to say Soriano...what he's done in that ballpark is nothing short of incredible. And he's a 2B!!!

Answer 3

Best Pick- Getting Jermey Bonderman in the 16th round he's 11-4 with a 3.66 ERA and 132 K's

Worst Pick- Hideki Matsui in the 6th round 5 HR's 19 RBI's .261 BA and on the DL for another 1-2 months

Best Move- Picking up Fransisco Liriano off waviers 12-2 with a 1.93 ERA and 125 K's

Worst Move- Trading Bronson Arroyo for Jeff Franceour

Player I want but don't have- I need a 2B badly so Soriano because he's eligible to play 2B even though he plays LF

Answer 4

I won't say drafting Puljos, thats a no brainer. Its hard to say. Best I would say drafting Liriano in round 15. Then Verlander in rd 17 or Nomar or Josh Johnson rd 28 (last)I'm not sure.. My worst pick was John Patterson rd 7 (what a bust). Best move was drafting the top 3 closers plus getting Saito off of waivers before he got the call. Worst move was in the first week I traded Liriano and Cory Patterson for Estes and Hermida. (I regret that one daily...brutal). Which player do I not have that I wish I did? Probably Ichiro would make the biggest difference for me.

Answer 5

1. It was Jim Thome. I picked him up in the 8th or 9th Round

2. Randy Johnson for sure I didn't get him until the 5th round but man he has sucked

3. I got Ryan Howard for Todd Helton. That was the best fantasy baseball trade I've ever made.

4. I traded David Ortiz for Manny Ramirez. Its not that bad but Ortiz is still having a better season.

5. Albert Pujols, or David Wright

Answer 6

1) My steal for my league would have to be Brandon Webb. I got him in the 8th round with the 89th pick, with Gagne and Hoffman going before him.

2) Noah Lowry was my worst draft pick in the 9th round, although I had more bad picks along the way (Jeff Weaver, Valverde, Baez, Bradley, Crisp, Huff).

3) Picking off Joe Mauer, Scott Kazmir, John Lackey, Brett Myers, and Jered Weaver off the waiver wire in my league was the best move I made and turn around my team.

4) Trading Brad Penny and Derek Lowe for Eric Chavez was the worst move I made because I already had Chipper on my team and now that I dumped Jones, I'm starting to regret it. I also dump Alex Rios with the 233th pick before the season started.

5) Alfonso Soriano would be my ideal player that I want but I don't have on my team now.

Answer 7

I have Pujols!!!! That was awesome. My worst pick was probably Adam Kennedy in like the last round, who was supposed to be hitting around .300 this year, but that's clearly not the case. I don't know who to drop him for. The best move I made was adding Justin Verlander!! The worst move I made -- well, I haven't made any bad moves! :D

I sure wish I had David Wright too. He's got a nice swing.

Answer 8

1) My best drafted player that was a steal was getting....in round 16.....Travis Hafner!!!
2) My worst pick was probably B. Colon in round 8 or C. Cordero in round 10.
3) The best moves i made were picking up J. Dye, N. Swisher, and .............S. Kazmir.
4) The worst move by far was dropping my last pick in the draft, Justin Morneau, although i already had Big Papi.
5) I wish i had D. Wright, most of my other positions are solid.

Answer 9

Steal Pick...Lyle Overbay in the 17th round is having a nice year.

Worst Pick...John Paterson in the 7th. I figured he would win 15 to 20 pitching in that ballpark while striking out about a batter an inning. Got 1 win out of him before he went DL for the year.

Best move...Picking up Papelbon off waivers before the season started. Some guy actually drafted him then dropped him before the season started. Am still LMAO.

Sorry, I have not made any bad moves yet!

Wish...Liriano. "nuff ced.

Answer 10

Best pick was Hanley Ramirez 10th rd of a dynasty league
Worst pick was Ensberg as well...what a bum since may
Best Trade--I got Miguel Cabrera for Jake Peavy
Worst Trade--was not accepting Liriano and Magglio for Jason Bay
Player I wish I had was Joe Mauer.
