Would you take a star pitcher in first round in fantasy baseball?

If Roy Halladay, C.C. Sabathia Cliff Lee plus others, Would you take them as your first pick? First base and outfielders are loaded second base is stacked with good players too. Shortstop and third base are a little thin when all the star power is gone. Getting one star pitcher cant hurt but... Starting pitching this year is pretty stacked as well.Would you take a star pitcher in first round in fantasy baseball?I can't say I would. Taking an SP in the first round in Fantasy Baseball is like taking a QB in the first round of a Fantasy Football draft. There are always 1-2 qualified to make the cut, but they are very rare.



This year the top pitcher in Fantasy Baseball is Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies. His ADP is always at the back end of the first round, anywhere from 8-14. He's usually taken after the aforementioned SS and 3B top-tiers are gone and the prime 1Bs like Pujols, Miggy and Votto are gone.



Halladay, and the top SPs in general, are worth a look at the back end of the first round, but the depth at SP lends itself to the top-tier pitchers being taken in the early to mid second round of drafts.

I wouldn't take a pitcher first overall, but if i was 9 or 10, i would consider it. You probably want a guy who is going to put up great batting numbers for you. In fantasy baseball, pitching is a hard catagory to dominate, because of wins and ERA. So if you get the best hitting team, you will have a good year if your pitching isn't horrible.Would you take a star pitcher in first round in fantasy baseball?I would never take a pitcher in the first round. I almost always take an infielder. depending on where in the round I'm picking I usually won't take a pitcher until at least the 3rd sometimes the 4th round. there is plenty of pitching talent out there in the later rounds.Would you take a star pitcher in first round in fantasy baseball?
I'll take a top pitcher if I slip past pick 7 or 8, but there's usually too much bat-value at risk before the late 1st round...unless your league has a "possession" category - then grab Lincecum as quick as possible...Would you take a star pitcher in first round in fantasy baseball?No. Hitters, hitters. hitters. Best hitter available, regardless of position.Would you take a star pitcher in first round in fantasy baseball?
