Common players on my fantasy teams
by Derek CartyMarch 27, 2009
With four expert league drafts now completed and most of your drafts to be completed in the coming days, I thought I would drop a quick post with the players who wound up on my teams most frequently. I still have a couple more drafts to go, but by then all of your drafts will have happened.
Please note that there is some definite selection bias on this list as two of the leagues are NL-only while only one is mixed and one is AL-only (this bias is quite obvious in that there is only one AL player on the entire list).
The list is also subject to the various quirks of the league rules and the individual drafts, so having Matt Wieters on here doesn't necessarily mean that I like him more than a Ryan Doumit or Mike Napoli. I didn't think I'd end up drafting him at all, but for whatever reason, he just happened to wind up on my team a couple of times. Take these for what they're worth, but I thought you'd enjoy seeing the list regardless.
The leagues that these results come from are LABR NL (NL-only), FSIC (NL-only), FantasyPros911 (AL-only — reserve draft has yet to be completed), and KFFL (Mixed). Without further ado, here is the list:
Hitters — 3 teams
Raul Ibanez: LABR, FSIC, KFFL
Cody Ross: LABR, FSIC, KFFL
Nyjer Morgan: LABR, FSIC, KFFL
Hitters — 2 teams
Matt Wieters: FP911, KFFL
James Loney: LABR, FSIC

Chris Dickerson: FSIC, KFFL

Javier Vazquez: LABR, FSIC, KFFL
Kenshin Kawakami: LABR, FSIC, KFFL

Rich Harden: LABR, KFFL
Derek Lowe: FSIC, KFFL
Jorge de la Rosa: LABR, FSIC
