@JoeC, Who do you have immediatly ahead of him that you aren’t concerned about injuries with? David Wright? HA! Michael Young? Double HA! A-Rod? Aramis? Well, you get the idea, they all have some injury risk, don’t you think? Being outside the top 10 3B isn’t the big deal though, because you could argue to arrange 6-12 in a variety of ways, it’s more the 100 overall that is crazy. They ranked him 18th overall two years ago!

@Grey, my favorite part is at the end when the dude says, “Well Aramis is coming off a good year and Youk isn’t”. Well, there ya go then, the team you draft this year can go back in time and clean up in last year’s leagues! I’ll draft for this year thank you.

@Grey, Heh… so is the extra one for his date? Like at the end of the date be like “Here, I got you this”… instant panty-dropper, one would assume.

@Grey, Whoa! Why Zimm over Andrus? I know 3B is thin (as always), but SS ain’t exactly chock-full of studs either. And Andrus is younger and less injury-prone… seems like a slam dunk for Andrus in this situation.

@MattTruss223, I also have Youk outside the top 10 for 3B in my rankings. It’s not an issue of production; he’s good when he’s on the field. It’s the fact that I’m only expecting ~450 ABs, based on his injury history for the last 3 years. At this point, I don’t understand why you would expect anything else, unless you’re part of Red Sawx nation or you like to pahk your cahr near da hahbor.

2 part question…Part I: Was just in a mock for a 10 team H2H league. Had the 2 spot, took Braun and when it came back to me (19th pick) Kinsler, Pedroia, Han Ram, Reyes, McCutchen, Giancarlo, D Wright and Beltre are all still available. Just curious: WWGT (Who Would Grey Take)? Part II: Return of the Question…I ended up taking Kinsler there, then at the turn Pedroia and Han Ram were taken. My next pick (22), WWGT?

1 part question: Approximately where do you like to start eying closers in a standard 10 team league?

P.S. I thought it was spelled eyeing but that damn red squiggly line pops up underneath it! Eying just doesn’t look right IMO OMG LOL

@Travis, Stanton just picked right before me…Wright or Dred?

By: Travis

Travis — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 05:45:01 +0000

First two picks in a 10 team roto with CI MI, are Braun and Feilder. Take the Dred Pirate, Wright, or Stanton with next pick? I have the 5th pick in the draft

Thanks

@Mr Baseball, If they love Prado, let them have him. Think it’s more like they love to trade him away.

@Mr Baseball, May the force of Razzball be with me – They will soon find out the Power of Razzball in this league when the season starts – but the dark side of trades coming from this league are strong

By: Mr Baseball

Mr Baseball — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 04:45:49 +0000

@Grey, I need to get a Restraining order in this league to keep people from trading with me – I think in the world of fake fantasy baseball there are many out there that have much man love for Prado – Most of the players that are every offered to me are a combination of bench players for one of my starters – and they are bench players I can do without

Guys in my league trade draft spots straight up every year. What do you think of trading down to the bottom few picks to potentially secure a Longo/Fielder or AGon pairing?

Thanks dude.

A pitcher will emerge at some point or you make a better trade for one… Not feeling this Morrow trade right now…

Loyal to Larkin – Hindenburg Disaster

Martín Prado
Justin Morneau
Aaron Crow

[ View Trade ]

Drew Storen

I am not drafting Prado in any of my leagues – he is a zero tool player – unless I missed something and Morneau is a project to say the least he is one banana peel short of ending his career – Did not do my homework on Crow – looks like he might some value for sure but I am sure what – closing – middle relief – setupman – starter

@Grey,

Nah, I don’t got anything that can meet the Razzball standard.

And yeah, it’s purely to upgrade my pitching. You said I needed more, and the best in the pool are pitchers like Niemann, Narveson, Vargas, Gorzelanny, etc.

My current staff is

P- Tim Lincecum (3rd)
P- Gio Gonzalez (9th)
P- Matt Garza (11th)
P- Brandon McCarthy (16th)
P- Jhoulys Chacin (17th)
P- Mike Minor (18th)

I guess I can just stream a spot the entire season then. It’s that since this is an 1800 IP limit I’m scared I don’t have enough SP.

@L-Boogie, Can go multiple ways though… Votto, McCutchen, 3B would also work…

By: Grey

@L-Boogie, Votto, Stanton, 3B…

@Eddy, Don’t have one yet, but I’m all ears. Is this trade to help your pitching? Otherwise, I’m not sure why you’re doing it. Lind to Belt is a step down. Morrow is a step up for Ks, do you need those?

By: Eddy

Eddy — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 03:19:43 +0000

@Grey, I meant throw Lind in the trade instead of Hosmer. By the way, do we have a nick name for Hosmer? Seems like a candidate for one. Not feeling Hosmer.
