@david: 1) He's not there. 2) At his position, he doesn't seem that different than Zobrist. Doesn't mean I'd own either.

@Tony: The 8th is too early. @Steve: Very true. @Bill Lumbergh: I'd drop Young for Joba. @TedStrikerForce: Forget Reyes in the 1st. Go with Grandy. @ron mexico’s papi: I'd take Grady.

2 things: 1) where’s adam laroche in the top 300? i see andy but no adam. 2) isn’t barmes really ranked too high? your projections for him don’t seem to earn him the spot.

@Grey: Say you are in a keeper league and this year you have pick #3. The top 2 players available are Hanley and ARod (Pujols and Braun are on other people's kept rosters already). Now saw that Jose Reyes, Grady Sizemore and Felix Hernandez are the next best 3 players available. Who are you taking at 3? If they were all 3 healthy I'm taking Reyes no question, but damn him and his thyroid! What does everyone else think too?

Damn you, Reyes-shaped wrench in my keeper plans. Stick w/ Reyes and forfeit a 1st-rounder next year? [I'm a lock to keep Votto (10th rd) and Reynolds (22th) while waffling between Grandy (6th) and Wieters (14th)]

@Bill Lumbergh: Drop Cristall Young for Joba. Even if both suck, at least you got some Ks.

@Bill Lumbergh: I would...gotta go with the upside, and Young is gonna need more than PetCo to not suck

Question for the group. Panicky owner is a 12 team H2H dynasty league has dropped Joba (for Dontrelle Willis!!!). I already have Hughes. Should I pick up Joba as Yankee 5th starter insurance and discard whomever doesn’t get the job? I would have to drop hodgepadre Chris R. Young to clear a roster spot. Thoughts?

Thanks all!

@Grey: Yeah, except Deano would probably be out cutting a swathe on a Saturday night, rather than sitting at home making up lyrics about fantasy baseball.
