Annual HR only league drafts tonight ...

mgugs46 · 03-28-2015, 02:00 PM

My annual big money HR only league drafts tonight. Last year I won 1st place, though mainly because I add/dropped well since half my team was either on the DL, or sucked ...

Anyhow, looking for peoples opinions on who they think will be the top 10 this year, or if anyone has a breakout sleeper type pick.

Personally, I am thinking:

Stanton
Carter
Encarnacion
Bautista
Goldschmidt
Abreu
Miggy
Rizzo
Trout
Davis

I could also see Springer, Donaldson, Gattis, hell even Bryant hit close to or more than 30.

gsigner · 03-28-2015, 02:06 PM

Adam Jones could very well hit 30 this year, as could Victor Martinez again. I'd say keep your eye on those 24-30 HR guys from last season to hit around the same mark. Lucas Duda hit 30 last year so you could look to him as a 30 HR guy again. Donaldson should in fact hit 30 protected by Bautista and Encarnacion.

Will Alvarez get enough playing time, or is he still locked in to a platoon this season?

Moss in Cleveland is a good one - he was on my team last year.

Steve Pearce could be sneaky. If he gets 500 ABs, 30 bombs wouldn't shock me.

Another good one, and the guy who pretty much won me the league the last 2 weeks.

SethMurphy · 03-28-2015, 02:44 PM

Gattis would be a great player to target, he is going to bomb off that short wall in Houston

Metsfan1121 · 03-28-2015, 02:50 PM

With the Mets moving in the right field fences, Granderson and Duda may have some more dingers this year.

nmculbreth · 03-28-2015, 02:53 PM

If you're looking for a sleeper, Oswaldo Arcia.

Bhenry4 · 03-28-2015, 02:53 PM

Not to keep pimping my O's, but if Reimold somehow gets regular playing time due to injury (ironic since he's the on that's always hurt), he's going to hit some HRs.

chiefs · 03-28-2015, 03:44 PM

I'm in a HR league too. I really like Trout this year. He showed the power last year, he's less injury prone than a Stanton and has upside remaining. If Trout hits 45 this year would you be surprised? I also project his floor high, he is a lock for 30.

yanksfan0134 · 03-28-2015, 04:09 PM

JD Martinez, Jorge Soler, Mesoroco could put up 25-30 HR IMO

Bosox34 · 03-28-2015, 04:11 PM

Todd Frazier might be one to keep an eye on as well. He will continue to unload in Cincinnati this year

razorsharp · 03-28-2015, 04:46 PM

Arenado will get 30+ if he can play a full season.

As some one else mentioned Oswaldo Arcia is a good sleeper.

chrismartin32 · 03-28-2015, 05:39 PM

If Jay Bruce stays healthy this year 25-30 is almost a lock

SaveMeTheGum · 03-28-2015, 10:31 PM

Kris Bryant will hit 75 homeruns in April, so....

bankdawg · 03-28-2015, 10:39 PM

the Panda in Boston

mgugs46 · 03-29-2015, 01:28 AM

Well, ended up with the dreaded 10th pick, which sucks IMO in a 12 team league. Here's my team:

Chris Davis
David Ortiz
Ryan Braun
Jorge Soler
Brian McCann
Mike Napoli
CJ Cron

Probably gonna be a lot of add drops. ... again.

Bhenry4 · 04-07-2015, 06:44 PM

Why did you not draft Pearceky?!

Bosox34 · 04-07-2015, 07:04 PM

Definitely not bad but a very solid overall draft. Napoli that late seems like a pretty solid pick if he can increase the bombs

These odds are nuts. Why on earth is Avisail Garcia so high?? The same can be said about many other players (Matt Adams, Bryce Harper, Josh Hamilton, PABLO SANDOVAL (caps for emphasis), and Yasmany Tomas)

Because only one can win... Your money is tied up for 8 months, lots of reasons - if you see a winner, bet on them and I'll take half of the action! :-)
