8 Stupid Fantasy Picks in my League

OVERPICKED

Name / Avg. Draft Pick

Alfonso Soriano/Derek Jeter taken 9th and 12th

Bottom Line: Well at least this person was looking to reunite the Yankees former middle infield, too bad they over paid by about 3-4 rounds each

Carlos Pena / 49

Bottom Line: He's a career .250 hitter, to all those who drafted him realize that while last year was a huge year, and a break out year, he is not exactly young, and has proven to be inconsistent enough that he has never been a regular in BACK to BACK years, except with the 43-119 tigers

Jorge Posada / 93.1

Bottom Line: I picked him with my 6th round pick after panicking on a run on catchers, I jumped the gun on this one

Andruw Jones / 109.3

Full Name: Andruw Rudolf Jones, his middle name is Rudolf…. does anything else need to be said

Bottom Line: You could have had Nate Mclouth with the 200 pick about 8 rounds later, I'd rather not touch anyone who's homerun total has fallen each of the last two years and has not hit over .280 since 2000

Francisco Liriano / 124

Bottom Line: I'm staying away from under proven guys coming off of major elbow surgery


Barry Zito / 224

Bottom Line: At least you don't feel as bad as the giant's management does at this point


UNDERPICKED

Name / Avg. Draft Pick

Cliff Lee / UD

Bottom Line: This one is just unfair to look at in retrospect, I just hope you dropped Barry Zito in time to get him

Ryan Braun / 13

Bottom Line: I grabbed Ryan Braun with the 39 pick, and after a slow start he is starting to prove that he never should of slid that low, even in an apparently strong position (wright, arod, lowell etc.), Of course two weeks ago you could have been saying that all you who had picked him at 13 were over valuing him


Most frustrating pick: http://www.rotoworld.com/Content/playernews.aspx?sport=MLB&filter_teams=ANA&filter_position=2B&filter_major_minor=MAJ

Just read it, and watch me weep (hit .500 while playing, .750 with 2 hr in minors (rehab))
