2004 Original Draft Results

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 1: Sure was happy to see Vlad setting there at number 5,  

DraftHelp Pick 2: Tejada in round 2 with Arod, Nomar, Renteria already gone, Seemed like a good pick here, we have to remember this is a Dynasty Keeper league as well and I think Tejada will really like it at Camden Yards, almost went with Halladay but still too early for pitchers.

Surprise Picks: Hudson I thought even for the last pick of round 2 went a lot higher then I would have expected.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 3: Last big POWER house HR guy in round 3, other then Thome who I passed on because of the current  injury situation.  

DraftHelp Pick 4: I was looking to take Pierre or Ichiro, but they didn't make it so I went with a young pitcher, Oswalt or Zito? Hmm... I really like Oswalt this year and counldn't resist him here.  

Surprise Picks: Beckett in round 3, seemed early.  Carlos Lee in round 3 also seemd early.  Crawford and Santanta early in round 4.. but that what makes this whole thing exciting.  Heck most or round 4 was a surprise.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 5: Well I guess the Oswalt/Zito decision wasn't that big of a decision, but I am a sucker for young curveball pitcher (ok, NASTY curve ball pitchers).  I was actually hoping for Giambi to fall to me and looked at Abreu, but I am happy with Zito.

DraftHelp Pick 6: Closers have been snagged left and right, I wasn't going to take one her but all the closers that fell off my board since my last pick this was my last one I really wanted and again YOUNG arm with great potential in Dotel. 

Surprise Picks: T.Hoffman and all the closers that were swipped up in a hurry.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 7: Ok, back on Task,  HITTERS..  Johnny Damon was one of the last few base stealers and 5 tool guys arond here.

DraftHelp Pick 8: Shocked to get IROD in the 8th round!  WHOO!!!   Got a solid Catcher this late I was estacitc. Considering Piazza went 5 round earlier in the 3rd and Posada went 2 rounds earlier.

Surprise Picks: IRod, I still couldn't believe he was still on the board, with all the hitting categories involved.  Contreras was about 2-3 rounds earlier then I wanted him to be picked but he is likely to deserve it.  A lot of pitchers were grabbed in round 8.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 9:  Ok, the hitters were looking a little thin and heck Greg Maddux is still on the board, what?  Pineiro, Zambrano, Ortiz all picked ahead of him...  Ok,  so maybe I am renting him for a year, I'll rent.  I was really eyeing Luis Gonzalez so this one may have be against my strategy a bit but it is Maddux.

DraftHelp Pick 10:  I think I was asleep on this one and had Baldelli queued up for later and what do you know I got him by accident.  Ok, not necessarily the guy I wanted but a lot of tools and 20+ Sbs will come in handy.

Surprise Picks: Bobby Crosby, where did that come from?  He could have been had 5-6 rounds later. 

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 11:  Isringhausen.. OK the last of the solid closers.. Well be skipping those for a while.   But it is nice to get quality in round 11. Other options were going to be Winn, Rhodes, Kearns.

DraftHelp Pick 12:  I still didn't have a 3B at this point and Yahoo still had D.Young's position at 3B.  So I couldn't pass that one up.

Surprise Picks: Ibanez seemed to be earlier then expected

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 13:  Was eyeing Larry Walker and Burnitz coming into the round, actually I think I may be better off without Larry. Don't need the IR factor.   Floyd should fit nicely into this team.

DraftHelp Pick 14:  Next pick was watching for Drew and Burrell but ended up with Jenkins.  I still won't complain for bench hitters.

Surprise Picks:  Not too many surprises here.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 15: Mark Buehrle was still here he will help complete the rotation that I believe has to have 35 innings a week to receive any pitching points...  Not bad.

DraftHelp Pick 16: What's this a 40 SB guy still on my board, well we had to put an end to that.  Dave Roberts will do great if I don't have to start him every day.  Griffey was Tempting but I like the potential Roberts brings in Steals alone.

Surprise Picks: Griffey as late as the 16th round, Oh how the mighty have fallen.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 17: Still needed a 2B, and heck Alomar was worthy of a pick here.  He still has some potential, probably should have taken Nevin with this pick.

DraftHelp Pick 18: D.Marte, just in case I need a few saves in Sept.  I did really want Lofton with this pick.

Surprise Picks: They don't come around anymore.  People just start grabbing guys.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 19: Jiminez just in case Alomar doesn't show up.

DraftHelp Pick 20: Jason Bay because they have in interesting Rookie contract rule that I can use on Bay next year.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 21: Adam Eaton quality Strikeout guy just in case I only get 1 start from the other 4 pitchers.

DraftHelp Pick 22: Casey Blake, gotta love this kid.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 23: T.Lilly just cause

DraftHelp Pick 24: A.Beltre are you kidding, if he hits like he did at the end of last year this is an awesome pick otherwise he will likely hit like he did in 01 and 02 and the 1st half....  high risk, medium reward.

Comments: 

DraftHelp Pick 25 and 26: T.Ohka another pitcher just because you may need them and I was happy with my hitters.
