Of course, we do admit that we have a certain edge, as we all are capable of stealing yours as well as Rudy’s thoughts on a daily basis, although not many of us are able to transpose some of Rudy’s more erudite missives. But then again, the ‘perts don’t have Karabell, Cockroft and Berry, which I was hoping for as that would have given us a sizable edge in fantasy IQ.

We are breathlessly awaiting your response. I am also quite certain that we will again win the RCL overall championship award, as our league has added two formidable managers, one of whom personally scouts minor league prospects, (John the Brat), as well as JP, who is fluent in numerous languages,including Yiddish, and who is a former researcher for SABR as well as a constant attendant at every Olympic event as a volunteer.

Best always,
Paulie Allnuts

Thanks.

Three time Daquiri buyer here. First time in this type of league for me: Aside from the obvious lack of speed , any other glaring issues to you for this team in a 8 team keeper roto 5×5 1400 innings cap?

How many of my 5 bench spots do I want allotted to pitchers? My gut is to drop Alonso (dont ask) now for a pitcher to stream, and Ortiz as soon as the next SAGNOF roadrunner emerges. My current arms available are:

Wandy, Jhoulys, B Norris, C Sale , D Holland, Colby Lewis, M Minor.

Thanks in advance

In my opinion, I did ok. I still need one more closer, but anybody even worth handcuffing is gone. I have too many hitters on my bench, but Utley will end up on the DL, and I hope I can trade Ike or EE for a brain freeze (is that a fair trade?). Should I drop Pena for a middle reliever who can get me some Ks?

Morgan Ensberg (2005)

86 Runs 36 HRs 101 RBI 6 SB, while hitting .283.

I don’t even know what else to say about that.

Ah 2007. The Braun breakout year – and I had him. How did I not win the league? Reyes’ and Morneau’s second-half vanishing act, that’s how.

I’m nearly over it though.

Apropos of absolutely nothing, Brad Hawpe went 80/29/116 that year…

I’m in search of power.

Would you drop Addison Reed, Vinnie Pestano, Bryce Harper, or Niese for:

Eric Thames
Vernon Wells
Nolan Reimold
Chris Heisey

If you’re outfield was already:

Pence
Jennings
Werth
Markakis
Cespedes

Thanks maestro

Am I so thin at starting pitching I’m in trouble?

Is the hitting as strong as I think (other than needing steals at some point) or am I rose colored glasses?

Yeah thought the same thing about the better for you part, especially considering this was an ongoing league where over half were returning players. Doesn’t mean they evaluated well of course.
