2011 RotoRob MLB Draft Kit: Outfield Rankings

There’s really nothing Braun can’t do on a baseball field. He can hit for average (.307 lifetime BA) and power (he’s smacked at least 25 dingers in all four seasons he’s been in the bigs), he has speed (at least 14 swipes every year), has turned himself into a solid outfielder and has a strong arm. Last year, plenty of his home runs turned into doubles, but he cut his strikeout rate, and given that he’s right in his power prime, it wouldn’t shock me if he made a run at 40 long bombs this year. With relatively little fanfare, Braun is in the early stages of compiling a simply tremendous career, perhaps Hall of Fame worthy in time.

The controls are very simple. Each time your turn comes up you have the option to call (A), fold (B) or raise (Y). Holding down the right trigger while selecting your play shows confidence while the left demonstrates uncertainty, allowing you to tentatively raise your bet or slam down your cards in disgust when folding. If you already know what play you’re going to make you can pre-load it and your avatar will act as soon as its your turn. A number of chip tricks, such as making one dance across your knuckles, are unlocked as you level up and can be performed with d-pad combinations to pass the time.

Monroe has been on an outstanding roll since the All-Star break, averaging 15.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals in his first nine games.

Those numbers won’t help the woeful Pistons, but they could bring you a Fantasy championship. Monroe is available in about one-third of Yahoo! leagues, but only about 10 per cent of ESPN formats. If he’s out there, grab him.
