All Questions Answered Day

by
March 23, 2010

Since we are getting dangerously close to draft day in most leagues, there are probably a lot of questions going around. In an effort to help you, the reader, get ready for draft day, I am giving you a chance to get your questions answered today.

Not only will I be answering your questions, but some of my RotoGraphs colleagues may be stopping in today to give their spin. However, there are some guidelines for how this will go. All questions won’t be answered, but any reasonable question asked in the comments of this post today will be answered. What makes a question reasonable? Glad you asked.

A reasonable question would be something like “Who would you rather have, Matt Holliday or Nick Markakis?” A bad question would be “Who would you rather have, Albert Pujols or Adam Moore?” There is a huge grey area, but I’m a fairly forgiving person and will probably answer your question, as long as I don’t feel you are wasting my time.

Questions don’t just have to be in “Player X vs. Player Y” form (though I bet most of them will be). You can ask about any relevant fantasy topic, from draft day etiquette to anything else on your mind, it will likely be answered.

So, let’s get to it! Any questions?

Hey Zach,

Not sure if you take auction strategy/keeper questions but thought I’d ask anyways.

In an AL only 5X5 auction league, how would you value a starter like CC as a keeper when players like Vazquez, Beckett, Shields, Lee, and Weaver are available? With his VORP at approximately 6 points higher do you take the chance of dropping him back into the draft and get into a bidding war for him when 4 of 12 teams have a lot of $$$ available in the draft?

I wouldn’t drop CC back into the player pool. Keeping him is by far the best option.

If he goes back into the draft, you will likely end up paying more than what it would take to keep him anyway, since teams will be lining up to pay for his services.
