TOUT WARS: Battle of the Experts
I’m drafting an NL team this coming Sunday morning. The drafts are open to the public, if you are in NY and not involved in any egg hunts. It sounds like there will be a live online stream of comment, too.
I’m planning to buck the Stars and Scrubs trend and buy the most average team possible. No $20+ players. Though I reserve the right to change horses if the situation warrants.
[The rationale for totally spreading the risk is that there are few sure pitchers this year, so there are reasons to avoid the expensive guys–too much risk. And focusing on $15 players only (along with a few $1 pickups) imposes a certain discipline on separating guys who are cheap because they haven’t actually proven their upside yet, as opposed to guys who just aren’t all that good. I’ll be looking for the former.]
