Rotisserie Baseball
April 13th, 2006 by Wyatt
So I did the draft for our rotisserie league on Tuesday night. Not my best draft, but I think I did okay. You can catch the current standings in our league here. I manage the Zephyrs. As of this writing I’m in first place!
So, highlights: I have a high RBI team going with Mark Teixeira, Hank Blalock, and David Ortiz. I got some cheap role players in Jose Lopez, Dan Johnson, Nick Swisher, and Mark Kotsay. I should also have better luck in the ERA and WHIP categories this year with Felix Hernandez, Curt Schilling, and Mike Mussina. That’s always been a downfall for me, so I’m looking forward to some good pitching.
You can click on each team name in the standings to see who manages the team and what players they have. After seeing Alex Rodriguez go for 39 and Vladimir Guerrero for 41, I fell pretty good that none of my players were over 22. That should bode well for building a good, inexpensive team for next year, too.
I feel like I’m channeling Billy Beane.
UPDATE: After a little fiddling, I figured out how to make our league’s standings show up on the left hand side of the blog. Thanks to WordPress Widgets!
