2005 BBFL Fantasy League Draft
On March 31, the 20 owners of the BBFL held their annual draft. In 2003, I finished fourth in the regular season and won the playoff championship. Last year, I finished eighth in the standings and ninth in the playoffs.
Owners keep five players from the 2004 rosters but may not hold them for more than three seasons. Scoring is 6x6 (AVG, OBP, SLG, R, RBI, SB // IP, W, SV, ERA, WHIP, K/BB), and owners who think in terms of typical 5x5 leagues would tend to overrate players like Alfonso Soriano (low OBP) and Kerry Wood (tons of striekouts but an unexceptional K/BB ratio).

I did not mean to draft Lieber first. I had him ranked at the top of my list, thanks to his off-the-chart K/BB ratio, but I'd planned to get a hitter. Still, I'm not overly disappointed. As with the Ranger Bordie draft, I went heavy on outfielders early. I intended to ignore most middle relievers but ended up with four anyway. Trachsel was a flat-out mistake; I hit the wrong button. Nevertheless, I can stick him on the DL and pick up someone else, as is the case with my intentional choice of the injured Juan Gonzalez in the 20th round.
