Drafted my first two Yahoo teams, one auto, one live

[Butterscup1679666578]

Alright I completed my first two drafts this week, both on Yahoo. One was live, which I did fairly well, the other was auto.

 

Here is the live:

C: Varitek

1B: Mike Sweeney

2B: Felipe Lopez

3B: Miguel Cabrera

SS: Julio Lugo, Ronny Cedeno (just for fun :D )

OF: Jason Bay, Cliff Floyd, Coco Crisp, Craig Monroe

Util: Travis Hafner

 

SP: Willis, Sabathia, Capuano, Westbrook, Weaver, Towers, Young, Maddux

RP: Wagner, Wickman

 

I'm relatively content with it, I think I can compete.

----------------

Here is my auto, which might be the worst offense in the history of fantasy baseball, along with the best pitching staff ever.

 

Here is the auto:

C: Varitek, Pudge

1B: Justin Morneau

2B: Ryan Freel

3B: Shea Hillenbrand

SS: Julio Lugo

OF: Coco Crisp, Wily Tavarez, Jason Lane, Shawn Green, Luis Gonzalez

 

SP: Pedro, Carpenter, Prior, Zambrano, Clemens, Kenny Rogers, Liriano

RP: Lidge, Fr. Rodriguez, Farnsworth (waiver req. for Reitsma)

 

 

Thoughts?

I like the first team. You have great depth on the mound. Willis may or may not be clear #1 starter with that team around him. But Sabathia is a legit fantasy #2. And all your other starters can be #3 type guys. They will be pretty consistent, with few blowup games and few dominant games.

 

Your offense has a few risks with Sweeney, Floyd, and Tek getting up in age and with past injury histories. Lopez and Lugo probably won't put up numbers like last year. And like Willis, Cabrera has a crappy team around him.

 

You pretty much summed up the auto team. Wow! Trade early and often.

I'd probably do it. It looks like you'd still have a fairly good outfield, especially if Baldelli returns to form. But if you're counting on Borowski, I'd say your bullpen could use the help.

I have received a trade offer of Albert Pujols for Johan Santana and Ichiro.
