He held TL hitters to a miniscule. In addition to Cabrera, three other all-stars have also made their Major League Baseball debuts this season.
We brothers of the fantasy baseball fraternity now craft our draft strategies Who should be off the board after round 1; when should we take our first closer? We scrutinize over the value of players based on their current team, position, and even their age. But what other factors influence our decision? What if we tried building our own competitive fantasy team with all former Drillers?
This task comes with two restrictions. First, our players all must be former Drillers. Second, we must pick the player with the best stats at each position.
Each draft round value will be based on ESPN. Without further ado, here are the first six members of our team:. This is a no-brainer as Troy Tulowitzki ranks annually among the top three options at shortstop. He plays hard, but the injury risk is worthwhile given his elite production with the bat and the glove. We see Tulo repeating as arguably the number-one shortstop option in fantasy baseball this year. Draft him in full confidence among the first six or seven players off the board.
First base is a position very deep in talent, and is no different. Teix played 48 games with Tulsa at the end of the season, hitting. Teixeira is fresh off of his second HR season in three years, tops among 1Bs in His batting average took a hit for the second year in a row.
Outfielder Matt Holliday played games with the Drillers in , flashing power and speed with 28 doubles, 12 home runs, 72 runs batted in, and 15 stolen bases. But that was just the beginning for the Stillwater, Oklahoma native. Holliday posted an MVP-caliber with a. Several years and two teams later, Holliday enters as the anchor in a sans-Pujols Cardinal lineup. Wilson, SP, Angels. Wilson barely makes the cut as a former Driller, making only five starts in late The year-old sported a 1.
His first five seasons in Texas would bring about inconsistency and questions about his bloated walk rate. But a move to the starting rotation would prompt a significant leap forward. Wilson reached the inning plateau in back-to-back seasons, twice boasting high strikeout numbers and solid peripherals. After a season with the Rangers, featuring a 2. Good run support and a stingy bullpen will help the former Driller feel right at home.
Draft Wilson with confidence. Michael Young is a DH, but he filled in as a corner infielder following injuries to his teammates in Fortunately for us, he played enough games at 1B and 3B to quality at each for the season; and with the dearth of talent at third base, it would be wise for us to slot him there on our roster.
Young made the most of a game stint with Tulsa in , racking up 60 hits, scoring 30 runs, driving in 32 more, and hitting a robust. Young turned in his sixth-career hit season with a career-best. In fantasy, he finished tenth among 3B-eligible players.
Young may not have another renaissance year in , but his hitting skills are still present, making him a quality play at third. Ubaldo Jimenez had control issues in his first stint with Tulsa in , sporting a 5. In a second tour, he looked much improved: a 2. Jimenez then began a solid major league career with the Rockies. A win campaign with K and a 2. His season began with a dip in velocity and diminished control, fueling rumors that Jimenez was injured. And on July 31, , a struggling Colorado shipped Jimenez to Cleveland, where he did not fare much better.
His peripherals suggest that he was and is still the same pitcher, meaning spoke more to fatigue and bad luck than to injury. Jimenez is a strong bounce-back candidate in This is a worthwhile risk to take.
We have now drafted the first six players of our man roster, and I must say things are looking up. But be warned: murky waters lie ahead. Stay tuned for more. Hornsby surprised unsuspecting individuals at home and at work from Chouteau to Bixby with roses, tickets, a bull hug, and a big smooch.
