2010 Fantasy Baseball Draft: Rounds 3 & 4

Last week, I posted Rounds 1 & 2. There are clear issues that make the 2010 drafts different from the commonly-held draft strategies of the past. With four rounds posted, you should be able to gleen what they are.

A note about my methods. The one fact often ignored by rankings is the fact, irrefutable, that a team's selection in one round influences the selections in the subsequent ones. If a team selects a SS in the 1st round, the team won't select another one in the 2nd round even if that player is the highest ranked one available.

Any rankings worth using should account for this. otherwise, you will come away from your draftn thinking the rankings were useless.

Are you that down on David Wright after just one down season?

or are you concerned about the ballpark and his alarming strikeout rate?

Who do you like as a keeper at a similar pricetag. Uggla or Bruce?

The drop in power is too alarming to treat it as a non-occurence. I'm hoping for an off-season disclosure of sn injury. Even then I'd probably take him in the late 2nd at the earliest.

You know what you're getting with Uggla - 30 HR and a bad AVG. bruce's peripherals from 2009 looked could and his luck stats looked fluky. I'd gamble on Bruce but understand the certainty of Uggla.
