This morning I participated in the first ever Rotohog draft. Below are a couple of quick hits. I will put together a more detailed analysis later. If you have any specific questions regarding the rules of the game, feel free Email RotoHog. If you have any questions regarding the draft or strategy, feel free to email me and I will do my best to answer them.
The biggest surprise of the draft was Johan Santana going undrafted. I wasn't planning on drafting him because I plan on rotating pitchers and batters through a platoon situation. Carpenter plays on day 1 so I drafted him.
My first round selection was Delmon Young. He was the best value for the money in my opinion. He could rack up 800 points for only 2 dollars.
Pujols didn't go until the 7th or 8th round.
Overall, the strategy behind this game is to get the best value for your money. To me that meant buying into the high upside players early. If all of the high upside players come together, I am fairly confident I can finish in the top 100 overall and have a shot at the 100,000.
