My draft strategy would be to draft only power pitchers, and only power bats without major flaws (e.g., obvious Ivan Wilson strikeout syndrome). Use international to get your middle infielders. Any offensive pick in the early rounds must have power, or top skills and blazing speed. So, for instance, Champ Stuart was a good pick whether he pans out or not. You just need a Pujols or two from your early rounds over a number of years.Tom Brennanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032383157195393857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-2579047326455770872017-06-27T13:01:01.185-04:002017-06-27T13:01:01.185-04:00My biggest hobby is growing herbs for my wife'...My biggest hobby is growing herbs for my wife's cooking. I grow all of them by seed and dry the remaining leaves left over each fall. I also painstakingly draw out the seeds on the dead plants and use them the following year.<br /><br />Like growing great herbs, anyone can buy a store bought version that has traveled across the country in poorly air conditioned trucks.<br /><br />My herbs are grown 'on my farm'.<br /><br />The game of baseball is the same as my garden. Draft picks and international signings are the secret to any dynasty. <br /><br />You have to 'grow' a balance of bats, gloves, and throwers to build a future world champ. We have failed at that so many times over the years.Mack Adehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730548449011685243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-20624322521881825132017-06-27T12:14:29.652-04:002017-06-27T12:14:29.652-04:00Maybe it's time to construct a big orange mons...Maybe it's time to construct a big orange monster in both left and right field in Queens.
