Early Mock to mock, have at it

BlueVol03 — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 01:54:17 -0000

I edited the draft just a little. I have Bulaga that low only due to injuries and struggles so far this season. There's not a lot of huge needs for RBs early in the draft so I didn't place Dwyer with the thoughts he might stay at GT.

I know Jax fans don't want another WR but a few years ago, the Lions didn't either.

Don't crack on the draft order, it's only projections.

Need players for fantasy league

BlueVol03 — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 11:28:21 -0000

We are in need of 3 players for a fantasy league on Fleaflicker. Please post your email address if interested. It is a keeper league that drafts tonight.

The teams that need to be filled draft 1st, 3rd and 4th. I will be resetting rosters shortly before the draft. If we are unable to fill the league then we will possibly have to delay the draft. If you want anymore information regarding the teams, please let me know soon so we can get the league ready to draft.

Thanks.

Farm System

BlueVol03 — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:45:57 -0000

I have a fantasy farm system with the following players:

Drabek, Michael Taylor, Brad Holt, Scott Barnes, Allen Craig, Cowgill, DeVall, Brandon Crawford, Travis D'Arnaud, Nick Noonan, Dan McDaniel, Aaron Shafer, Brody Colvin, Clayton Tanner, Josh Collmenter, Sebastian Valle, Yohan Flande, Anthony Gose, Domingo Santana, and Joe Savery. I also have all the Phillies drafted/signed this past year.

I know it's not that great of a farm system but how would they rank if they were my top 20?

Too early???

BlueVol03 — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 20:43:58 -0000

No, this isn't another plug for Heyward to be called up. With the deadline to sign draft picks this year coming quickly, is it to early to look to next years draft?

Here are some names to keep in mind.

We have no shot at Bryce Harper but he's next year's version Justin Upton (HS prodigy) if he can get eligible.

Kaleb Cowart - 3B/RHP from Georgia. Good arm strength from 3rd but most likely projected as a pitcher. Committed to FSU.

Tyler Austin - C/3B from Georgia. More developed as a Catcher than a 3B but he hasn't looked too bad in the field. As of now I don't think he's committed to any school. He's a bit raw but has a good swing from the right side.

Zach Alvord - Middle Infielder from Georgia. Has played just about every infield position but will probably be a 2B. He drills fast balls but struggles a little bit on breaking pitches. He does pull the ball pretty well. Committed to Auburn.

Marcus Littlewood - SS from Utah. Switchhitter who is very good defensively. His dad is a coach and he is committed to San Diego.

DeAndre Smelter - RHP from Georgia. Kevin Brown is his HS coach. His fastball is in the 93-94 range and he has a pretty good repeatable delivery. He's also working on a Slider and Splitter in the 80s.

College players to look at (if they're eligible):

Tony Thompson, 3B Kansas

A.J. Morris, P Kansas State

~~Louis Coleman, P LSU~~

Mike McGee, INF FSU

I'd kind of like to see Atlanta take Smelter or Cowart but it's still very early.

Royals

BlueVol03 — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:16:44 -0000

So I just noticed on ESPN that Coco Crisp will be out for the season. Will this in any way affect their interest in acquiring our young stud Failcouer? Of course, I would want nothing to do with it if it means getting Jose Guillen. If Guillen isn't in the deal, who could we target and potentially steal from Dayton Moore and the Royals?

Hey, if the Royals thing doesn't work out maybe we could trade Frenchy to Boston for Nick Green, I hear he's gonna be a stud...

Prospects?

BlueVol03 — Wed, 27 May 2009 20:56:18 -0000

Are any of the following prospects a Top 50 prospect possiblity for next season and if so, where would you rank them?

Kyle Drabek

Brad Holt

Brandon Crawford

Nick Noonan

Brett DeVall

Michael Taylor

Dan McDaniel

Adrian Ortiz

Aaron Shafer

Clayton Tanner

Joe Savery

Travis D'Arnaud

Sebastian Valle

I have these prospects in a Sim league and was just curious how they project. For the most part, I have the Phillies farm system and will have whoever they draft in this year's draft. Are there any players they're obviously targeting in the upcoming draft?

Thanks.

Help from StampedeBlue

BlueVol03 — Tue, 24 Mar 2009 18:52:35 -0000

Hello dear football friends,

I am BlueVol03 from over at Stampede Blue. As most sites are, we are doing a mock draft and I will be picking for your Bills. I have browsed your site and seen many opinions on Maybin, Pettigrew, Matthews, and other prospects. I have an idea of where to go with my picks but wanted to ask for insight from Bills fans.

With the Peters situation, are you looking for an OT?

Is Pettigrew worth a selection that high?

Is there a DE worth selecting at that spot in the draft?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

BlueVol03
