First autopick draft of 2009

[Regan21286]

12 team league 7th pick autodraft standard Yahoo sports rotisserie:

C- Russell Martin (3B)
1B - Miguel Cabrera (3B)
2B - Chase Utley
3B - Garrett Atkins (1B)
SS - J.J. Hardy
OF - Grady Sizemore
OF - Ichiro
OF - Vlad Guerrero
Util - Manny Ramirez
Util - Matt Kemp
Bench - A-Rod (tremendous steal at 6th round and goes into DL giving me an extra spot in waivers)
Bench - Alexei Ramírez (2B, SS, OF)

SP - CC Sabathia
SP - Chad Billingsley
RP - Joakim Soria
RP - Jonathan Broxton
P - Ervin Santana
P - BJ Ryan
P - Kerry Wood
Bench - Chien-Ming Wang
Bench - Ryan Dempster
Bench - Aaron Harang (currently have a DL waiver on him, next is Escobar)

Thoughts? I might look to get another closer/reliever instead of Harang but I'll see how the season goes.

Bump?

In roto you need 3 closers so a guy like Chris Perez or Jason Motte (whichever wins the job), Chad Cordero (just signed with seattle could be good in say june), Brandon Lyon (or eventually Joel Zumaya) or Chad Qualls could help you more then Harang-a-tang who is valuable only where the CG stat is used.

Wang is a guy someone in every league will overpay for. Sometimes I draft him with the intention of hosing someone. For some reason someone always neglects his decidedly average whip, era and below average K's and is drawn to his wins. Its your job to find that person and get pieces that help you back. I might deal him or Sabathia (ERA will go back to high 3's/low 4's in AL East) with the idea of upgrading SS for more speed.

Probably also needs more SP depth and if there's an innings limit I would place a high emphasis on it specifically peripherals. Maybe when A-rod comes back you could deal Atkins for another good SP...chris carpenter is a good buy low candidate tearing it up in camp
