Good job, love the site. Love the photo you use, it’s resembles the guy who always in an America’s most wanted reenactment.

All joking aside, would you consider Arod over Hanely Ram. at #2 in H2H. I think 3B is shallower that SS this season and since you can traditionally find speed at the SS position late in drafts.

Curious Grey/Anyone: Wouldn’t it be better if fantasy leagues adopt a standard for OF’s? Say LF, CF, RF instead of just OF? Add more value, stops people from waiting in drafts for OF’s, and I think adds more strategy just because it’s more positions.

I want a non-strasburgian washington pitcher to actually be vaguely useful this year, just so he can be christened ‘The relentless mock’

@Steve: It’s coming this week. Bunch of strategy posts.

10-team 5×5 with OPS instead of Avg. What do you think of my team? Just got Verlander and Sandoval for Davis, Coghlan and Hamels. Thinking about adding Freese or Masterson and dealing Roberts (concern about the back)

AHHHHHHH gotta get back into my power offense mindset…

roto = more pitching and balanced
H2H = more power and offense then draft pitching….

i was drafting h2H and wright, grandy, beckham, evertht and pierre aren’t enough?

hahah yes i guess when i look at what i just typed that IS NOT ENOUGH!

and thats why i post and ask for comments….

anyways, 12 teamer mock, drafting from the 12th spot:

1. Ryan Howard (Phi – 1B)
2. David Wright (NYM – 3B)
3. Robinson Canó (NYY – 2B)
4. Curtis Granderson (NYY – OF)
5. Jon Lester (Bos – SP)
6. Nick Markakis (Bal – OF)
7. Clayton Kershaw (LAD – SP)
8. Cole Hamels (Phi – SP)
9. Gordon Beckham (CWS – 3B)
10. Jay Bruce (Cin – OF)
11. Carlos Quentin (CWS – OF)
12. Miguel Montero (Ari – C)
13. Huston Street (Col – RP)
14. Brandon Webb (Ari – SP)
15. Jonathan Sánchez (SF – SP)
16. Chris Davis (Tex – 1B,3B)
17. Everth Cabrera (SD – SS)
18. Juan Pierre (CWS – OF)
19. Matt Capps (Was – RP)
20. Jason Heyward (Atl – OF)
21. Kerry Wood (Cle – RP)
22. Travis Snider (Tor – OF)
23. Scott Sizemore (Det – 2B)

is my pitching too strong or ? nothing is a slam dunk but i have alot of talent? too much power? not enogh speed?

If you’re looking at an innings limit i’d set it somewhere inthe 30′s… its makes an owner have to throw 6 sp’s at least, you have to think most sp’s will get 6 innings, so 6×6 is 36, but then you have your few that go over and under…. 32 is a good # but maybe slightly under what it should/could be…

by the way i love getting Pocket Q’s my first hand in a HUGE tourney and losing to a DONKEY who calls my all in with KQ preflop…..

lol

I’m thinking of standing pat with Smith….but maybe I keep Medlen instead of Smith. Tough call.

@PaulyOH: I’d prefer neither, but I’d take Lindstrom.

We can keep 13. For my last spot, do I keep Seth Smith at $4, or trade him for Matt Lindstrom at $3? Smith I think has more chance to have value, but Lindstrom is boom or bust.

i think i would draft sean rodriquez before desmond jennings. sean has a god chance to make the team out of spring training and may soon qualify in the middle infield. who knows if jennings will catch a break this year. the rays are stingy when it comes to the clock.

@mrbaseball: Heyward, Sizemore, Alcides, Feliz, Matusz… Read more about them:

And I agree on the fact that you gotta pick up guys who are the closest to 5 category contributors as you can. That’s Why i take guys like Werth (4 cat.) Grandy (4 cat.) and Pence (5 cat.) early on.

Idk, I have a feeling I wont do amazing this year in my RCL because the whole IP limit has me worried quite a bit.

Btw, my innings requirement is 21 IP. I think I may raise it a bit because no one had a problem reaching it last season. What’s the next “interval”? Suggestion?

I know in H2H I usually just set my guys and leave it at that (unless it’s some horrific match up). Apparently for roto I’ll have to pick and choose carefully who i start, making me wonder if drafting 7 pitchers is wise.

@ThePoonTycoon:
I see where you’re coming from, but the thing is I get OBSESSED in the season man. As sad as it may be, I have a lot of free time and come baseball season I spend a lot of it on fantasy baseball. Plus, I want to feel more hands-on, especially with picks ups of FA who get called up etc etc.

However, I can see if someone is in a league where people work normal day jobs/have children/ etc., a weekly lineup is more beneficial.

By they way, you’re so damn witty I crack up when you miss the chance at humor. Your reply farther up these comments should have said “@Cheese: Hernandez, Ruiz, Salty, Clement and throw in the…”
