2009 Fantasy Baseball Draft - HR only


Everything about HR Contest is minimal.

Minimal Rosters (9), minimal transactions (3 FA + 1 IR allowed), Minimal rules (no position reqs, only scoring HR), and finally minimal preparation by the GMs.

In essence, we want to make this easy as possible as we try to save the world from financial Armageddon in our day jobs. We have no interest in Picasso-like impressions of baseball - can someone explain this video game to me?

As Vince is the returning champ, he chose to pick 2nd in the 2-team snake draft:

1. Greg - Ryan Howard, PHI
2. Vince - Albert Pujols, STL
3. Vince - Ryan Braun, MIL
4. Greg - Miguel Cabrera, DET
5. Greg - Manny Ramirez, LAD
6. Vince - David Wright, NYM
7. Vince - Adam Dunn, WAS
8. Greg - Prince Fielder, MIL
9. Greg - Jim Thome, CLE
10. Vince - Alfonso Soriano, CHC
11. Vince - Grady Sizemore, CLE
12. Greg - Carlos Delgado, NYM
13. Greg - Josh Hamilton, TEX
14. Vince - Carlos Pena, TB
15. Vince - Chris Davis, TEX
16. Greg - Ryan Ludwick, STL
17. Greg - Evan Longoria, TB
18. Vince - Joey Votto, CIN

And now sorted by team

7. Vince - Adam Dunn, WAS
