Warning to all fantasy baseball victims

No, it isn't that you have no chance of beating me, although that is self-evident. It is that if you do not show up for the draft or complete a pre-draft ranking edit you will end up with Alex Rodriguez in the first round. Funston's got him at 37 and that seems about right given his steals will probably just about evaporate, he's going to miss a fifth of the season and he still might get hurt. I'm not telling you who to draft I'm just giving you a heads up so you don't sleep through it and end up like Madtown, abysmally last with no hope, before June.

If I hadn't used all my moves up you wouldn't have had a shot. I would have utterly dominated you.
If you really want to win, draft Cliff Lee with your first pick. All the experts are doing it.

Yeah yeah yeah, but you did and I won so you fucked up and I didn't. I'm pretty sure I even warned you about burning your moves. How about this? If you hadn't used all those moves early you wouldn't have come close. And you picked Jimmy Rollins with the 4th pick. I picked 5th and I said to myself I have a real man of genius drafting in front of me. Players you left on the board; Jose Reyes, Pujolz, Wright, Holliday, Cabrera, Howard.
If my starting pitching staff hadn't melted into injury hell it never would have been close.
This isn't really for you or OMR or Matt or any of the veterans. I think there might be a one or two neophytes who have no idea how Yahoo drafts work. And I'm going to fuck one of them up real bad. Hehehe.

Any recommended resources for drafts? I'd be willing to shell out a few bucks but there's gotta be good shit for free.

It was my first time playing. I was looking at his overall production of last year, which was ridiculous across the board. I have a much better idea of how to draft. It wasn't that bad of a pick.

It was an atrocious waste of a first round pick and I got hard when you made it.
jewunit, go to the site. Click on Draft Central. Then click on Draft Analysis and also Pre-draft Rankings. Go to the league home page and read the articles on the right side. Go to the Players page and check out where they rank according to Yahoo. If you get all nutso, ESPN also does some fantasy ranking shit. I don't use them but you can if you want.

Just go to Borders or something and look around, ESPN puts out draft guides that are really good.

Whatever. It was my first time playing, and at the time of the draft I had almost no knowledge about how to play. And you still barely beat me on a fluke run by Felipe Lopez. Congrats.

Update:
The auto ranker for Yahoo now has just moved Rodriguez down to 39 so you no longer have to worry that laxity will get you stuck with him in the first round.

I have actually been very nice for both of the last two years. The first year I gave anyone who asked a post draft critique and some other private advice and last year I'm pretty sure I warned some people that they were burning up their transactions too fast for little reason. This year, I'm going to be a good bit meaner, for instance to whattheheck who I sandwich with my picks. He is getting nothing he needs. And don't think for one moment that this was altogether a public service announcement. My motives are highly questionable. HAH. Bitches.

I just saw Zap's response to this thread, it didn't light up until tonight for some reason.
Anywho, Zap, this is the 2nd time in the last few days you've been talking some gay stuff. I've never seen this out of you before. Did those A-Rod pictures in Details click something in you or something?
What's the deal bud?

If anybody knows whattheheck IRL they should see to it that someone is with him during and at the end of the draft. He may harm himself.

No, and Big Z was taken right before I was going to get him. So far I've got:
C - Jorge Posada 1B - Justin Morneau 2B - Ian Kinsler 3B - Evan Longoria SS - OF - Nick Markakis OF - Bobby Abreu OF - Util - SP - John Lackey, A.J. Burnett, Ryan Dempster RP - Mariano Rivera
There's shit for shortstops right now. Fuck.

You need to pick up an SP to lower your WHIP (Kevin Slowey is a good choice for that). ERA might be high too. Your starters are pretty risky. Dempster had only one good year before last, and Burnett gets hurt a lot. Lackey was hurt last year as well. Orlando Cabrera is a good backup at short. You're pretty weak on steals too.

You'll probably win the whole thing in improbable fashion and then they'll ban you from further competition.
That's what happened to me, ya know.
