2010 NL Tout Wars Results

Posted by Todd Lammi on March 29th, 2010

The 2010 NL Tout Wars auction was held this past weekend in New York City. Tout Wars is fantasy baseball’s battle of the experts and winning one of the Tout Wars leagues is one of the more prestigious titles in fantasy baseball.

Here is a look at the 2010 NL Tout Wars results, the participants and their teams with my comments added.

Tristan Cockcroft – ESPN

Pick I liked:  Kyle Blanks at $15. I think Blanks breaks out this season with 25-30 home runs and a few stolen bases thrown in.

Pick I disliked:  Cameron Maybin at $18. Still has not proven he is ready for the major leagues and there were better options at this price.

Mike Gianella – Roto Think Tank

Pick I liked:  Jose Reyes at $23. A risky pick yes, but the upside for that price is worth it.

Pick I disliked:  Kenshin Kawakami at $8. It looks like they were better pitchers to buy for that price.

Pick I liked:  Josh Willingham at $15. Hard to pick a player I liked as all of his players seemed to be bought right at their expected price.

Peter Kreutzer – Askrotoman.com

Pick I liked:  Jim Edmonds at $1. I think he ends the season with a lot more at bats than people are expecting.

Pick I disliked:  Too many injury risks with Lance Berkman, Aramis Ramirez, Carlos Beltran, Elijah Dukes (cut), Brandon Webb, Edison Volquez.

Chris Liss – Rotowire

Pick I liked:  Jason Heyward at $14. He was a better buy in the outfield that some players that went for several dollars more than him that I have ranked below him.

Pick I disliked:  Jermaine Dye at $3. Hard to see him signing this late in spring, especially with a National League team.

Lenny Melnick & Paul Greco – Fantasy Pros 911

Pick I liked:  Willy Taveras at $1. Nice late game pick for some cheap speed.

Pick I disliked:  Rickie Weeks at $24. Much too high of a price to pay for someone that injury prone.

Scott Pianowski – Yahoo

Pick I liked:  Ian Desmond at $10. Now that he has won the job as starting shortstop, he has a good chance to hit double digit home runs with 20+ steals.

Nate Ravitz – ESPN

Pick I liked:  Casey McGehee at $10. Decent batting average and some power for a decent price.

Larry Schechter – Sandlot Shrink

Pick I liked:  Garrett Jones at $14. Has 20+ home run power, can steal a few bases and qualifies at first base and in the outfield.

Brian Walton – Mastersball

Pick I liked:  Everth Cabrera at $13 looks like a great price for a lead off hitter with the potential to steal 40+

Pick I disliked:  Liked his pitching staff, he got a lot of solid guys, but I think  that Jason Hammel at $7 was too much. It was almost overkill at that point with everyone he had on his staff.

Todd Zola – Mastersball

Pick I liked:  Scott Hairston at $6 if he can get 400+ at bats.

Pick I disliked:  Too many part-time hitters on his team and he left $6 at the draft table. Cody Ross at $18 seemed too much for just his power when there were power / speed guys that went for around the same or slightly lower price.

    You’re dead on about Kawakami, Todd. I had the same reaction in real time…there were a number of pitchers who went before Kenshin that I should have pulled the trigger on and didn’t.
