***TAKE QUESTIONS FOR ME TO MY NEWEST POST***

paulzone — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 16:53:24 +0000

have the 6th pick in a 12 team roto league…

who do I really want out of:

braun, longoria and votto? – assuming kemp, cabrera, pujols, bautista, pujols will be gone.

batting cats: r, hr, rbi, sb, avg, obp, gidp, errors

if one of my assumptions is available, i will draft that player. if not, i am left with braun / longoria / votto to choose from. who’s the safest?

any thoughts would be appreciated. thanks.

@Grey, Overall do you think it’s competive?

@james d, Kennedy/Gordon was actually my initial offer but he wants 2 pitchers in return (his pitching is really bad – Lilly, J.Santana, Lohse, Braden…)
I would try and trade Gordon for someone like Scherzer, Luebke, Chacin, Cahill or maybe a reliever (I lost Soria). Would probably target a pitcher with Aramis as well…

Davey Johnson said that Brad Lidge or Henry Rodriguez would close in the event Storen can’t start the season.

I cannot STAND when manager’s can’t use logic.

By: Wilsonian

Wilsonian — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 16:13:38 +0000

Just read that Storen won’t be starting a throwing program until Tuesday or Wednesday. I’d guess that he won’t be ready for the start of the season.

@Anthony, Yeah, Duda’s a nice flyer… Trade Daniel Murphy for him — emoticon…

By: Anthony

Anthony — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:54:19 +0000

Hmm alright – but i will hold off on dropping murphy because he can play all over! Wish i could of grabbed DUDA!!! people reach in drafts. sigh

@james d, No problem….

By: james d

james d — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:52:04 +0000

@Buster, Try countering with Kennedy/Gordon instead?

It’d be rough on your pitching to give up both kennedy and beachy; also what would you do with gordon or aramis if you got hanley?

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:52:01 +0000

@mikey boy324, You look a little high on speed and low on power… Pitching looks a bit shallow too…

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:50:48 +0000

@Anthony, Are those your options? Start Boesch and Weeks…Drop Daniel Murphy, he’s useless…

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:48:16 +0000

@Buster, 2nd round bat for two arms? Yeah, I’d take Hanley…Hudson, Gio, Beachy…

@Grey, It still amazes me that you respond to every comment.

Thanks for the good work man

@SwaggerJackers, You don’t need Frank. Papel, Santos, Thornton…

By: Grey

Grey — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:45:47 +0000

@james d, I do agree that your pitching looks weaker than your hitting, but I’d hold tight for right now. Your league isn’t that deep, there will be pitchers to be had. Your hitting looks solid….

@Grey: Not set just give me some advice. Not sure if I should start week 1 with Jemile Weeks and Melky as my utility guys. Adam dunn is supposively tearing up spring training and could be back? I also have brennan boesch, and dmurphy. Thoughts? What would u do

16 team dynasty h2h with 20 keepers (15 batting and 15 pitching categories): I got offered Hanley Ramirez for Ian Kennedy & Brandon Beachy (the other manager really needs pitching).

Q1: Is this something you would consider accepting? I don’t mind trading Kennedy as his value is really high atm…
Q2: Gio, D.Hudson, Beachy, Minor – How would you rank these guys in a dynasty league?

I think my pitching would still be solid for a deep league like this one…and I could then trade Dee Gordon for another pitcher (maybe even ARam if Miggy gets 3b eligibilty).

C – Buster Posey
1b – Miguel Cabrera
2b – Danny Espinosa
3b – Aramis Ramirez
SS – Dee Gordon
LF – Carlos Gonzalez
CF – Dexter Fowler
RF – Jason Heyward
Util- Paul Goldschmidt
Util- Justin Smoak
Util- Josh Reddick
Bench – Snider, D.Brown, Abreu, Profar

SP – Ian Kennedy
SP – Daniel Hudson
RP – Craig Kimbrel
RP – Jose Veras
P – Brandon Beachy
P – Gio Gonzalez
P – Wandy Rodriguez
P – Mike Minor
P – Jonathon Niese
P – Mike Leake
P – Jacob Turner
P – Homer Bailey
Bench – Cecil, Paulino, McDonald

@Grey: In my 10 team roto league that has standard categories plus OBP and K/BB, I was offered Frank Frank for Delmon Young. My current closers are Papel, Santos, Capps and Thorton. Do I need Frank Frank?

Also, if the season started today, which three closers would you run out there for week 1?

Heya grey, did my draft in my 12man h2h 5×5 keeper league yesterday

C: Wilson Ramos (r23)
1b: Adrian Gonzalez (r1 – keeper)
2b: Dustin Ackley (r14)
3b: Mark Reynolds (r5)
SS: Emilio Bonifacio (r12)
OF: Matt Kemp (r2 – keeper)
OF: Andrew McCutchen (r3 – keeper)
OF: Jayson Werth (r8)
Util: Lance Berkman (r4)
Util: Paul konerko (r9 – keeper)
No offensive bench

SP: Mat Latos (r10 – keeper)
SP: Ian Kennedy (r18 – keeper)
RP: Joel Hanrahan (r7)
RP: Jason Motte (r11)
P: Shaun Marcum (r6)
P: Frank Francisco (r17)
P: Addison Reed (r19)

Bench: Jhoulys Chacin (r13)
Bench: Ted Lilly (r15)
Bench: Chris Sale (r16)
Bench: Jake Peavy (r20)
Bench: John Danks (r21)
Bench: Trevor Bauer (r22)

So two questions for you Grey:
1) General thoughts on my haul?
2) My SP seems weak. Should I try to trade offense (maybe Berkman?) for SP in the preseason?

Any chance of Moobs gaining 1B eligability on ESPN this season? Not sure what the games requirement is, is it 10/15? Some news saying Butler should get 1B eligability sometime this season, though how late I dunno, could be some random shizz though. Got him in my keeper league, would be nice if I could eventually move him outta Util.

12 team keeper mix league….My Lawrie/Weiters/K Morales for JUpton/Bumgardner/MMontero? I’m a believer in Lawrie so maybe that’s why I am over thinking it….do the deal, correct? No CI spot so I can slot Sandoval as my 3b.
