DRAFT: Middle rounds see BSL owners starting to gamble more

The middle of the 2010 BSL draft was filled with more excellent picks and some huge gambles. We start with the biggest gamble of the draft so far and that is St.Louis' pick of Taylor Twellman. Sure when he plays he produces like no other, but the gamble is how much will he play. The first Philadelphia players were grabbed in the draft and once again one has to wonder just how much scoring an expansion Philadelphia team is going to score. On the other hand, Gateway United continues to aggressively pick up players with speed. The Champion Monarchs used their 4th round pick to re-secure Kasey Keller to guard the post. Finally, the debate as to which team won which round is always in question, but give some credit to the New York Greeks for signing Dane Richards as the 30th pick. This could be one that make a lot of owners jealous. On a side note, every BSL team now has its own team site.

  1. When is a good time to draft a Goalkeeper? Does anyone want to share or am I alone on this one.

  2. I posted my thoughts on my site when I picked Keller.

    It's really tricky. Rounds 4/5/6 are pretty much the time to do it because you have to balance taking a keeper that will actually get you points versus possibly missing out on that last position player that can really help your scoring tally week in and week out.

    Very tough decision. You won't be "wrong" regardless of where you try to do it. It's just a matter of when you feel the trade off (possible GK points VS player points) is worth pulling the trigger.
