Ike Davis and Justin Upton did have remarkably similar seasons last year except when it came to steals (JUpside steals, Ike doesn’t).

However, I think beyond the difference in steals, Ike D’s production isn’t seen as valuable as JUpside’s because it comes at first base. 19/71 is pretty blah-tastic for a first baseman, whereas that might be pretty good for an OF.

I was actually indirectly commenting on the back and forth between Grey and royce. They were saying how the Sheen jokes got old fast, and royce mentioned that he only has one team named after the Sheen debacle.

If you name your team after a meme, come September you’re not going to have a clue what it even means.

SP – Roy Halladay
SP – Tim Lincecum
SP – Shaun Marcum
SP – Clay Bucholz
SP – Jordan Zimmerman
RP – Huston Street
RP – Brandon Lyon
BN – Ervin Santana

Team slogan and/or smack talk (in H2H) is about as far as I go with those.

Bench- Jed Lowrie 2B/SS

SP- Hamels, Jackson, Anderson, Zimmerman, Vazquez, Josh Johnson, Webb

RP- Marmol, Kuo, Feliz, Kimbrel

12 team league almost the same rules as the RCL leagues except QS instead of wins.

I dont know where it went wrong. Probably when Votto fell to me at 11 and Wright was stolen on the wrap around and I panic picked Gonzalez.

seems a tad light on power, some injury risk with my SP… ugh :frown face:

@royce!: Yeah, by day three it was annoying.

@Mark: Morneau, V. Martinez, Phillips, BJ Upton, Stanton…

@Michael Bourne: Missing power, way too much speed. Your pitching is a bit too strong too.

@Steve: Never watched it.

What am I missing and where could I upgrade?

Fortunately, I only have one league with a Sheen joke team name. I’m only in two leagues this year, though.

On baseball:
5×5 12man keeper league
Traded Cruz (keepable rd 3) for Pence (keepable rd 5)

Seems like a coinflip deal really, but I went with Pence because it’s a h2h league

@Captain Yesterday: Yup

@I’m Keith Hernandez: Kinsler

@royce!: Is it me or did Charlie Sheen quotes get dated quicker than any other zeitgeist in recent memory?

@chicago mike: Tabata is good there, but he’d be trade fodder on this team. Upton and Reyes is more than enough speed. I wouldn’t take a #1 in the 5th and 6th. Choose one.

@A.J.K: Yeah…

Any comments would be helpful. Would you have went Tabata or Morrison at 18?

I just blew your mind.

In all seriousness, you are right to an extent. I do like the fact that I can afford tickets to small market teams’ games. Living in NY w/o much money was a drag in that respect.

@mr baseball: Wouldn’t shock me.

@chata: The Other Guys on Netflix.

@cruisinkc: 5th round thereabouts, but I’d let someone else take him.

@Curse of the Goat: Cueto, Zimmermann, Nolasco…

@Ol’ Wes: You should be nervous, but since it’s an H2H league I wouldn’t be too nervous. I like the hitting though it’s pretty power heavy.

@cubbies299: If he fails this year, he’s going to be less than Dunn. I do think he’ll be fine, but that’s the problem with fat-bellied sluggers.

First time caller, long time listener. Love the show.

Thoughts on this draft? 10 team H2H. (R, H, 3B, HR, SB, AVG, OBP – W, L, SV, K, ERA, WHIP) Max of 30 roster moves. I’m a little nervous about WHIP.

I have to submit my list of keepers tonight and am debating between some remaining options

I am definitely keeping CC Sabathia, Cole Hamels, Francisco Liriano and Max Scherzer.

Please rank the remaining SP I am considering, remembering that this is a keeper league:

Jordan Zimmerman, Ryan Dempster, Johnny Cueto, Ricky Nolasco.

Thanks for your help.
