I almost fell out of my chair when I clicked on the Nick Johnson link! Good work Grey – best fantasy columns by far.

@GopherDay: Not sure... Maybe 8, I have Pianow's tomorrow. @Giggles McGehee: I have no idea who's available, but I'd go 2nd base.

@Grey:

To piggyback on zombie, and not two avoid your taking two number twos, but rather because of a similar small ten team league,

where might you project selecting your first donkeycorn RPs? More specifically, what round would you start to develop an itchy trigger finger for one of your “you might be able to draft one of these” tier guys?

Anyone know if Baseball Monster projections are worth paying for ($24)?

Grey,

14 team 5×5 (5 OF) roto keeper. Would you focus on OF next few rounds and wait on 2B? Or should I look for value at 2B first?

@Grey: A'ight, how many leagues are you (Razzball) doing this year?

By: Grey

@GopherDay: Actually three, but Smokey drafted one of them.

@Dexter: No, that sounds about right.

Sorry. Top 40 of SPs. I know you don’t need a bunch of higher end SPs. In years past I’ve generally taken 6 hitters then filled in with a few SPs and by pick 15 i’m about 7:7 with hitters:SPs/Closers. I’m just wondering if it should be much more hitter heavy in those first 14 rounds and a H2H.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 00:56:02 +0000

@Dexter: In my top 40 of what?

By: Dexter

Dexter — Thu, 03 Mar 2011 00:46:09 +0000

Hey Grey,
You mentioned you like to draft 3 guys in your top 40. But in H2H you mentioned quantity over quality. In a 12 team H2H, 5×5. Ideally, how many of those top 40 guys are you shooting for? What rounds are you thinking of drafting SPs? Take 1-2 in the top 40 and then backfill?
Thanks!

Grey, are you planning to do any posts on the players with significant gaps between Yahoo!/ADP rankings and yours?

I loved those last season.

@Steve: Austin Kearns as well. There has to be some witty joke to explain these DUIs this off season. I just can't think of one.

Coco nailed for DUI.

Why didn’t he just run away in 90-foot increments?

@Grey: I would just like to point out that sometimes after I eat myself silly with some Taco Bell (home of the 33% beef beef [stutterer]) that I don't hesitate about taking two number two's...it's usually the third number two that really makes me think twice... EMOTICON

@M.D.: I could see picking him up off waivers if he's going well, I wouldn't draft him anywhere outside of AL-Only leagues.

@Grey: GREY?!? whatsup stache! What are your thoughts on the recent news that Duensing is a lock for the rotation (per Gardenhire)? I know his k-rate is horrible, but might be a good value pick for below 4 ERA and decent whip in the late rounds. Would this change your projections for him?
