Football Fanatics Fantasy Baseball 2009

18 March 2009 Posted by David 702 views No Comment

The Football Fanatics staff held their 2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft today. It’s a 10-team head-to-head league. Basic lineups and standard scoring… we start all fielders + a utility man + 3 SP + 2 RP + 3 P with a 5 man bench. There’s nothing but pride on the line with this league, but that’s enough to make it ultra-competitive. With fantasy baseball you need to make roster changes on a daily basis.

Team 1 kicked things off by making Hanley Ramirez the first pick in the draft. Not surprising though, as he’s consistently ranked as the top player in all the fantasy baseball rankings. Having a 30-30 shortstop is extremely valuable, much like A-Rod was on the Mariners. The only thing hurting Team 1 is he didn’t draft a starting pitcher until the 11th round! Team 1 isn’t the only team that waiting for pitching… Teams 8 and 10 didn’t draft starting pitchers until the 10th round.
