@Grey, with Brett Myers moving to the closer role, he’ll b the only closer with SP eligibility. With being able to slot him as a starter yet get saves from him, where do you value him?

So in my 3keeper league, im keeping Braun and Miggy …. for my 3rd, are you saying instead of keeping Uggla, I should keep Jennings? (10 team H2H points KEEPER league).

I’m in a 12 team ESPN format league with 2 keepers. I’ve got kemp, but my other one is either A-Rod, Holliday, or Weaver. Not much choice. I’ll have one of the first picks in the first round of the snake draft with some very sexy names on the board, but most are OF and none of them are 1b or 3b. Any suggestions?

@Grey, I’m in a 5×5 OPS league, 12 teams. Am I crazy to rank Stanton at around $30-32, about 12th overall? Basically one of the three or four most likely guys to hit 40 HRs and to match it with a .900 OPS instead of a .260 BA, plus non-zero SBs, makes him pretty damn sexy. Not to mention how having Reyes and Hanley ahead of him and a better LoMo behind him could jack up those R and RBI…

Grey, stop pretending you didn’t take that quote from the Taking Back Sunday demo. Beautiful Girls my arse.

@Grey, Got a chub from hearing you say that. Lawrie is indeed oh so fine

@Grey, My trapper keeper got Stanton in the 7th last year. Do I have any chance of getting him in the 3rd or later in a 12 team redraft league? And I’m assuming if I do grab him, I pair him with a top 3 3B or top 5 1B? Basically – Mike Stanton . . . discuss!

Oh yea, OBP instead of AVG and QS instead of W

Grey or anyone else,

Having a tough time deciding who to keep. Would you keep Ellsbury for $26 or Lawrie for $6? At first I though Ellsbury, no brainer but as I think more about value, I think it might be better to hold onto Lawrie and just pay more for Ellsbury in the draft. What do you think? Already keeping Napoli for $2, Matt Moore for $2 and Ian Kennedy for $2. Thanks.

@Grey – can we make it a fantasy man-crush Mike Stanton gangbang? Many of us want in on that. Who’s with me?

@McBainus, Massively? We must have differing opinions on how much power certain players are bringing to the plate this season.

@Grey, You’re probably right. I know I’ve felt that way about SB forever, but I can’t think of actually making a trade based on them.

@Awesomus Maximus: I think you’re massively short on power.

My Granderson for his Lawrie, keeper, nobrainer, correct?

@Grey, what’d the leper say to the prostitute? keep the tip! hahaha. the joke doesn’t exactly encompass my sentiments here, because i do actually appreciate the advice. and i’ll be the one keeping that tip, thank you very much. the next question is whether that makes me a leper… bah! looking forward to another season of hilarity at razzball, tip or no tip.*

@Grey, Thank you, sir. I’m kinda worried about average with Stubbs, Cozart, and Espinosa.

By the time the 27th round came along, I was hammered. DLR was at the top of the queue and it was him or Livan Hernandez.

@Awesomus Maximus, I find steals are the opposite of saves after drafting. No one wants to trade for them. Gotcha on the iPad spreadsheet. If you want to send me a line to add, I will otherwise I’ll just let it go…

@ivebeenupthreedaysstraight, Weaver, unless it’s a 5 OF league. Then Jennings…

@Terrence Mann, Overall it looks solid, a little scattered at the end. Not sure I like the idea of two Rockie pitchers, especially not one coming back from TJ surgery.

@Grey, ten team league, three keepers, mostly savvy owners. i’m keeping cargo and bruce for a 9th and 10th round penalty respectively; i’m waffling over jennings, pence at the 11th round or weaver at the 6th… its a snake draft, and i expect i will be able to get jennings in the 8th if all goes right. thoughts?
