Amazin' Avenue Fantasy League Draft Results

by Sam Page on Mar 27, 2010 6:54 PM EDT

The Amazin' Avenue Commissioner League at CBSSports.com drafted this past week and we had 100% turnout, boding well for in-season commitment. As a reminder, the league is 5x5 roto, NL-only with 29 roster spots to fill, so the draft was thorough. Virtually no starting players and only a few backups were left un-drafted. If you want to start your own commissioner league, at half off through Amazin' Avenue, follow this link. Thanks to everyone who participated.

Before the draft, the people voted (19% of the vote) for kendynamo to have the best draft and fittingly, he had first pick. Round one went as follows:

My team is awful

I may have some bias

but I think I got a pretty solid team

by Evan_S on Mar 27, 2010 7:53 PM EDT reply actions

I think my team is decent.

Who would actually take the time to read all of the rosters?

Is it sad that I did?

by Evan_S on Mar 27, 2010 10:27 PM EDT up reply actions

Yes :P

Actually I glanced at a few, so its not that sad.

I'm pretty happy with my team too

Though I’m taking a lot of risks on young players winning roster spots. I’ll be thrilled if Jason Castro, Ian Desmond, and/or even Fernando Martinez wind up winning jobs. The reward is that if they make their clubs, they’ll get lots of ABs, but the risk is that if they don’t they’ll be in the minors.

I'm really hoping Stanton fights his way to a spot

and Votto gets injured so Alonso can play and screw over Team 5

Wtf

I wasn’t rooting against your team until now, Evan. Now beating you is almost as important as winning the league.

This is because of Josh Johnson, isn't it.

Actually it's De La Rosa....

Sorry, but if Votto gets injured and Alonso rakes, that’s good for me. I added the “screw over” thing as a joke

by Evan_S on Mar 28, 2010 12:25 AM EDT up reply actions

Lol, I'm joking too, no worries

We seem to love the same pitchers.

no more so than i

basically i need madison bumgarner to find those missing 3-4 mph and carry my awful pitching staff. and gamel will probably kill my bench the first couple months but i’m hoping he’ll go all 2008 and rake his way into regular major league ab’s come july. i do like drew storen though, i feel like he could make a big impact relatively soon, he looked nearly ready when we faced them a couple weeks back.

I'm not particularly pleased with my team (Team 5)

I’m very proud of the 2 votes I got though! Thanks 2 people!

Can you set up a dummy team

The Mets?

by Pack Bringley on Mar 28, 2010 2:46 AM EDT reply actions

I, Gangsta

is an unbelievably good team name, certainly surpassing the EllsburyDoughboys moniker my mid-tier team current possesses.

by ProustianDisplay on Mar 28, 2010 8:11 AM EDT reply actions

Is there any way to see how the other rounds went?

by Brittannia on Mar 28, 2010 8:39 AM EDT reply actions

pooholes and belty belts!

yea! i’m pretty sure the rest of my team is total ass tho.

this draft was the most difficult ive ever been in. not only was it super team with all those roster spots but half the talent in the league, but it was impossible to avoid drafting players i hate. and theres a lot of players i hate! like ALL the braves and ALL the phillies. oh well, we’re all making sacrifices during these challenging times.

HELLO HELLO MR WILPON... BUY THAT MANSION. WE DONT NEED A CONDO.
