What do you think ???

@BigFatHippo: I like Halladay, Chipper’s risky because of injuries and the Braves being out of the race. In the end, kinda depends on needs.

Thoughts?

I’m in a H2H league where we can change our lineups every day but there’s a limit on the number of transactions we can do in a week when it comes to picking up players (max 5). For the playoffs, would it be worth keeping a guy around like Carlos Guillen who can play 1B/SS/3B just to slot in on days that are light on games so I can save my pickups for pitchers if need be? The Tigers only have 2 off days in September, so he’d probably be available whenever needed. It seems like the more at-bats with quality players you get in a week, the better chance you have to win those counting categories. He’s also not worth starting over Orlando Cabrera unless one of them is on a hot streak or in a funk, right? O. Cabrera gets the nod from me because of the SB potential, but maybe that’s faulty thinking.

@Baron Von Vulturewins: I think something that isn’t mentioned much is how tied Moneyball was to the three-run homer and steroids. The chaotic running game has, appropriately, made a comeback. Look at the successful teams of the last few years, Rays, Marlins, Rockies (less bop, more crazed play), Cards (no one’s actually sure how they’re successful), Cubs (bunch of speed), Sawx (added much speed to their game), Angels (the eptiome of the 80s cocaine-fueled runners). Hmm… Maybe if I return to the College of Fantasy Baseball at Charleston for my Doctorate, I’ll write my thesis on this.
