Guess you’ve seen it before? In any case the #’s like Reynolds this year. I’ve watched him alot already and no one works harder or wants more to win, I’m sticking with him this year. (Just not before r4-5)

@Maitland: I wouldn’t do that trade.

@Ernie: I’m slightly worried too, but depends what you’re paying to get him.

@Falcon: It’s mentioned in the posts the roster.

@Elijah: Thanks for the heads up!

@JRT: Good balance of upside guys and vets that you should get a certain amount of stats from. That’s the good. The bad is Scutaro, Martin, which are two things I’m not that worried about, then your pitching is risky.

@Ceasar: You can go with Reynolds and Stewart. Just know that for the rest of your team.

******THERE’S A NEW POST FOR FOLLOWUPS FOR ME.*****

I’m trying to think up a good strategy for RCL. Like Grey said, tough when everyones got a copy of your cheatsheet. Gonna need to zig when they zag.

Just felt I should throw out there that Grandy went in the 3rd round in my RCL draft yesterday. To say they were drinking his kool-aid is an understatement. I ended up with Bay in round 4 and Cruz is round 5. Werth, Lind, and Granderson were all scooped up in round 3.

Does doing so preclude me from targeting Ian Stewart at second? Would you rather keep Votto to pair with Stewart and limit the batting average damage?

Thanks.

You have written posts for the AVG winning stats for standard 12 team 5×5 categories. I have been using this to guide my mock drafts lately, and I LOVE IT. I do have a question:

How many offensive players are these stats based on? I find I need 12 batters to come close across the board, and obviously I can’t play them all at the same time. Does this mean I suck?

This is my first time playing in a league with LF,CF,RF instead of 3 OFs, and it’s throwing me off a bit.

I have Adam Jones/Granderson in CF, then Chris Coghlan/Nolan Reimold in LF…should I consider dealing Adam Jones and someone like brett anderson/matt garza for…Raul Ibanez and Josh Beckett?

What do you think of this 12 team, head to head team.

Theres holds in the league, so I punted saves.

Scoring as follows..

For hitters:

Runs (R), Singles (1B), Doubles (2B), Triples (3B), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Walks (BB), Batting Average (AVG), On-base Percentage (OBP)

Pitchers:

Wins (W), Losses (L), Complete Games (CG), Shutouts (SHO), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Holds (HLD), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)

in a league that large, hanley has even more value. and if reyes goes all 2009 reyes on us (not off to a good start), an easy replacement isn’t gonna be sitting on the waiver wire.

Hanley & Felix for Reyes, Pedroia, and Kemp

My other keepers are:
Holliday
Zimmerman
Votto

I have 7 picks in the first 3 rounds (including 3 in the first) and can fill my last keeper spot by trading a first round pick for someone like Wieters, Beckett, Choo, Dunn, Nolasco ect….

I am leaning towards keeping Hanley and Felix but would love some feedback.

@buschfan: Beltre

@HalLeeDay34: I don’t think you can own Pierre without losing out on power elsewhere.
