We’re back this week to check out players that were drafted between picks 101-150 during MockDraftCentral.com’s NFBC leagues before the season, to see which players were drafted too high. Sure, we’re only a couple of months into the season, but the first step in overcoming a problem is admitting it, so feel free to admit the guys who you drafted too high below in the comments section.
Scott Kazmir (ADP 102) Kazmir has been on the DL now for a couple of weeks now, but even before then, he was nothing but a failure for this spot. He has not struck out nearly as many batters as normal (less than 9 K/9 for the first time since 2005) and his 7.69 ERA is an eyesore. Maybe when he comes back from injury that will mean something different, but until then, we cannot expect much. Daisuke Matsuzaka (ADP 113) The Japanese import is sporting an unexpected 7.33 ERA and 1-4 record to go along with it. He is striking out batters like always, but he has not yet lasted past 5.2 innings in a start . Although he gave up five earned runs in his most recent start, he did not walk a single batter for the first time this year. Carlos Marmol (ADP 115) Expectations were high that Marmol would be closing games for the Cubs at this point, but he has only tallied three saves so far. Many closers were drafted behind him with many more saves, and strikeouts, so right now he is a bust in my eyes. No one expected 27 walks at this point in time, which shows that control has been an issue. B.J. Ryan (ADP 116) Scott Downs took over the closers role towards the end of April, and that has been a huge dent in Ryan’s value. This southpaw is currently sporting a 7.43 ERA with only 12 strikeouts and nine walks. Unless he regains the closers role, he has no chance to justify his ADP. Lastings Milledge (ADP 121) Milledge was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse in April and has yet to return to major league action. A DL stint in the minors has not helped either. Kerry Wood (ADP 125) Wood has managed to keep his job, mainly because no one else in the Tribe’s bullpen has stepped up this year. Eight saves is not the most impressive at this point, but at least it’s something. The 5.59 ERA is bearable because he is closing out games, but needs to continue to decrease if he tries to justify his ADP. Ricky Nolasco (ADP 126) 2-6 with an 8.17 ERA. Do I really need to say more? Oh okay, then I’ll add this; he went from being the Opening Day starter for the Fish to pitching in New Orleans in less than two months. Alex Gordon (ADP 137) A cartilage tear has kept him out of action since April 16, but even before then he was only hitting .095 with one home run. He’s going to continue to miss time for another month or two, so owners can only hope that he puts out some great statistics in the second half. Conor Jackson (ADP 142) Pneumonia has kept Jackson on the DL since mid-May, and the poor effort until that point has not helped his value. A .182 AVG is never a good thing, especially when it only comes with one home run. Expect Jackson to return soon, but I’m not expecting much statistically. Howie Kendrick (ADP 149) He is on pace to hit a career high in home runs, but the .229 AVG shows how he’s really performing. There have been rumors of Kendrick going to Triple-A Salt Lake. He is failing to hit at all, much less getting extra-base hits or challenging for a batting title. It would not take too much for him to regain his value, since second baseman are always a tough find, but owners are disappointed up to this point. Trackback(0)
