2009 National League Only Live Draft
Going over ADPs this morning and my own rankings for the draft set to begin at 10:30am CST. 10 team, 5X5, 21-man rosters. Hoping to pick mid to late first round, as I like to cluster 2 picks together and it gives me time to adjust rankings during the down periods. Check back for updates and pick analysis as I get them posted.

RD1#9 Carlos Beltran – Whats not to like in a power/speed combo late in the first round. Love his consistency. Picks in 1st round included Lincecum at #5 and Utley at #8.
RD2#2 Prince Fielder – Power bat and expect a rebound from last season, Braun was taken in the beginning of the second round, plenty of worry about his injury.
RD3#9 Shane Victorino – Nice speed and a little power in a great line-up. Furcal and Atkins taken right before.
RD4#2 Dan Uggla – Come on 25+ homers from a 2nd baseman, gotta go for him, hopefully his average doesn’t hurt me too much. Chipper Jones and Lidge (first closer off the board) taken this round.
RD5#9 Edwin Encarnacion – One of the last of power 3rd basemen, I expect big things from him this year.
RD6#2 Chris Iannetta – A hard hitting catcher that plays in Colorado, just hope he is not Chris Torrealba.
RD7#9 Francisco Cordero – Plenty of save opportunities from a team that is full of young talent and very under-rated.
RD8#2 Cameron Maybin – One of my favorite prospects and round 8 is pretty nice for Victorino-Lite.
RD9#9 Brett Myers – Pretty solid as my first starter, not elite, but should have a solid season.
RD10#2 Trevor Hoffman – Not really worried about the injury in the long run, one of the last closers on the board.
RD11#9 Johnny Cueto – Should see an improvement from last year, hoping he keeps the ball in the park. Sheets was autopicked right before my pick.
RD12#2 Matt Lindstrom – I know, I know, 2 injured closers, but they will be solid once healthy and love the ratios to help my team.
RD13#9 Khalil Greene – He is hitting the cover off the ball, of course that is now, but should be a rebound candidate in a better park and better lineup.
RD14#2 Jair Jurrjens – Surprised he was still on the board. Like his stuff and ratios, should build on last year.
RD15#9 Jordan Zimmerman – Lighting it up in spring training right now, but has one of the worst offenses behind him.
RD16#2 Tommy Hanson – Reached for one of my favorite prospects may only be in the minors for a month or two. Maybe pulled the trigger early but could pay off.
RD17#9 Dallas McPherson – Hoping he gets a starting job soon and puts up some of the ridiculous numbers he put up in the minors. Could be a good risk or my worst pick of the draft.
RD18#2 Ryan Church – When the Mets figure out how awful Castillo is hitting 2nd in the order he should be replaced by Church, could of had a monster season if not for injuries last year.
RD19#9 Ryan Spilborghs – Back-to-back Ryans. Only this one could put up 15/15 in Colorado.
RD20#2 Randy Wolf – Nice peripherals and pitching with a good line-up and pitchers park.
RD21#9 Jamie Moyer – Not a bad pick-up for my last selection, good line-up and should win 12+ games.
