Hi. I'm new here. Let me know if I can help...
I've been offered:
Mariano Rivera
Ian Kinsler
for:
CC Sabathia
Howie Kendrick
I'm in 2nd overall, 4.5 pts back. I am currently 5th in saves with 75. I can't catch the leader, who has 116, but the 3 people in front of me have 82, 83 and 95, so I definitely could reach at least two of them. I am 4th in Ks & Ws. 6th in ERA, but 2nd in WHIP. 1st in Runs, tied for 1st in HR, 2nd RBIs, 4th in SBs, 6th in AVG.
Here's the rest of my team:
10 team standard 5x5
C Ryan Doumit
1B Adrian Gonzalez
2B Howie Kendrick
3B Garrett Atkins
SS Jhonny Peralta
OF Carlos Lee
OF Nate McLouth
OF Torii Hunter
Util BJ Upton
Bench JD Drew, Tulo
SP CC Sabathia
SP Johan Santana
SP James Sheets
RP Jonathan Papelbon
RP Brian Fuentes
RP Mike Gonzalez
P Chris Young
P Javier Vazquez
Bench Roy Oswalt, Fernando Rodney
DL Matt Capps
I'm leaning toward doing this and dropping F-Rod (pronounced "fraud") for a FA SP. All these hosers are FAs:
Oliver Perez
Matt Garza
Ubaldo Jimenez
Mike Pelfrey
Scott Baker
Manny Parra
Wandy Rodriguez
Jeremy Guthrie
Brett Myers
Kevin Slowey
Gil Meche
Paul Maholm
Bronson Arroyo
1st, I like your user name. Nice.
2nd, I like that trade for you.
3rd, why are you dropping Fraud (a name I enjoy, as well) when you need saves? Don't do that just yet. Farnsworth is a cuddle boy (
