@Grey, Just talked to the guy with longo. Might be able to pull off Lincecum/Wright for Longo/Hanson. But if I wait i lose out on pedroia. The chance at getting longoria worth turning down the pedroia deal?

Either him or Chisenhall over Alvarez…

Yeah, I think it’s Tex + who you said or Uggla… Tex and Uggla is a recipe for a low average so be careful with that…

This is in my 16 Team H2H Keeper. These guys were just dropped for some strange reason, so should I pick any up?

Kipnis
Reimold
Chisenhall

The only two guys I could see dropping are Stewart or Alvarez. I made a claim on Kipnis dropping Stewart. But would you do that, or do you see another move here?

@Grey, That’s how it looks, doesn’t it?

Since you’re at the turn there, do you prefer:

a) Tex + Beltre
b) Tex + Panda
c) Tex + Zimm

Or do you get Uggla in the mix there somewhere?

Thanks! Not my favorite from these guys but you need power so Quentin…

I think you’re gonna be stuck with Tex or Beltre… Can’t take another OF, Wright’s getting iffy by the day and no SP… Pray Kinsler or Reyes fall?

I’d take Lee…

Thanks! No problem…

I know you kind of answered this above, but if you have the #1 pick in a 12-teamer and take Braun, who’s your preferred pick at #24 if things go more or less as per your rankings?

make that 10-15 range prospect or 150 range player.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 02:23:47 +0000

@Rob, Ah yes – good catch.

@Grey, for the yahoo players in some leagues, i give Brett Myers a bump up because he is SP/RP eligible!

By: Rob

Rob — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 02:20:51 +0000

@Grey, thank for the reply. ya i think it was a mock with the common folk but still, offers no value. i should stop reading that carp but like to know what the masses are doing.

good call on raburn, thanks for not letting me get fooled twice! even with his hot spring so far

enjoyed the podcast as well!

also been convinced to not take a SP until Bumgarner this year – there’s just very few bats i trust past round 12, so ill load up on bats early and then grab as many quality starters as I can find the rest of the way out. thanks man

H2h dynasty… trade Pineda + top 10 prospect for Cliff Lee?

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 02:06:32 +0000

@emceeperiod, HA! Thanks, what a compliment!

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 02:05:33 +0000

@Steve, Yup, right in the middle of the Brain Freezes…

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 02:05:08 +0000

@Rob, That sounds like the ravings of a madman. ESPN does these mock drafts to show its readership how to draft then they have someone drafting Tulo and Reyes in the 1st two rounds? Did I read that right? I wrote about Raburn here: http://razzball.com/top-20-2nd-basemen-for-2012-fantasy-baseball/

@GREY Holy smokes!!! Ha ha ha! I just listened to your podcast on the way home from work. You TOTALLY sound JUST LIKE THIS GUY:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0278096/

HA HA! I swear. Listen to the podcast, then listen to this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBixdL7mhOQ&feature=related

I couldn’t NOT imagine this guy every time you spoke on the podcast, even though I’ve seen your pic and shiz. Anyway, I should win some type of prize for such a disgustingly precise voice match. Not a physical prize, but some type of title…or…formal recognition. Anyway…I liked the podcast. Let’s get a couple more here before next weekend!

You’ve probably been over this already, but where does Brett Myers live in the rankings now? Around 275 with Capps, Johnson and Co?

Got a good read for you here from the mothership TMR: thoughts after his second round pick…

“Was thinking about … How I might have made a mistake here. Was really hoping Jose Reyes would fall to me and yet he goes one pick before me. I have Reyes at 13 overall, much higher than his ESPN average draft position (currently 22). He went at pick 20, which is perfectly fine, except he went to @jeffpasquale, who used his first pick on Troy Tulowitzki. If you’ve looked at my Top 250, you know I love Reyes, you already had a shortstop, and you go shortstop again in the second? Was drafting with 11 people who all follow me a good idea? Am I being bird-dogged here? With Reyes gone, I thought about Michael Bourn for some speed or perhaps going pitching with Clayton Kershaw.”

reading Razzball makes me feel like the oakland A’s and ESPN is the NYY – just so far off in the way they evaluate players. The fact that he was thinking Bourn in round 2 is just nutzo.

Also – wanted to get your thoughts on spring fling Ryan Rayburn – possible “fantasy zombie” this year? I know he’s your boy

@Grey, thanks, that’s how I’m leaning, too. It’s sure tough to not keep Santana, but I think in the end Hanson and Heyward’s ceiling wins.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 01:21:12 +0000

@Curse of the Breambino, I’d go with Heyward, Hanson and Worley, but not an easy choice…

By: Curse of the Breambino

Curse of the Breambino — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 01:18:49 +0000

@Grey, sorry that wasn’t clear: it’s keep Santana and Butler or keep Heyward, Hanson and Worley. What would you do (thinking about 2012 and beyond)?

By: Curse of the Breambino

Curse of the Breambino — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 01:17:05 +0000

@Grey, keeper league question: Carlos Santana + Billy Butler OR Jason Heyward, Tommy Hanson and Vance Worley?

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 01:15:31 +0000

@Steve, Be a lot quicker for him to ruin his arm…

@Aaron, Bautista seems like a stretch, and he can’t stay healthy… But here’s one man’s opinion… http://razzball.com/under-the-greydar-wilson-betemit/

Looks like Dusty wants Chapman as a starter…
