On Monday (March 26) I drafted players for my team (BBCARDZ) in the Trading Card Database‘s “TCDB2_Roto” rotisserie baseball league. It’s a 10-team league made up of TCDB members. I expect this league to be very challenging seeing as I have not participated in a rotisserie league for maybe 10 years or more. This is not a money league so there are no cash prizes. Hopefully the players I drafted below will have good seasons and I can finish among the top teams.

This league has the usual five pitching categories (Wins, Saves Strikeouts, ERA and WHIP) and the usual five hitting categories (Runs, Home Runs, RBIs, Stolen Bases and Batting Average).
For this draft I had the sixth pick and did not have to draft while at work. Again I think I did ok. I did draft a couple of closers this time but did not draft a catcher until the last round. Catcher is such a thin position so I might not take a big hit at that position. My hitter-heavy roster should make up for any catcher shortcomings. Like every other baseball fan, I can’t wait for Opening Day. Stay tuned…
