@Grey: Nope. I was either too late to get him or couldn't make room.

8 x8 H2H 12 team league I have Valencia as my CI, who I don’t mind in this format. Is Moreland a better play with more upside or just sit tight?

I need to determine my keepers for 2012 prior to the start of this season. 10 team league. $260 cap Who are you taking Hellickson @ $12 or Morrow @ $8…or both? I am also keeping Gallard @ $12. Thoughts?

@Grey: I have Manny and Posada on a couple of teams (!), Heyward too. I have Dempster and Lilly spread across a couple as well. Also have a few guys I've never owned before: Heyward, Dread Pirate, Longo, Youk, Kemp, Mini Donkey, Kershaw - which is kind of cool.

@Dan: Team looks extremely solid. Little light on power, and I don't think you can play Nyjer with this team. Pitching looks real strong though.

@Steve: I know, right? I think Rudy's doing a post on exactly that. I know we have Stanton and Daniel Hudson everywhere. @strugz: Espinosa, Bourjos, Morse... I'd grab Fuentes for saves.

Hey Grey! Excited much yet?

Soooo in my OBP H2H league, I’m entirely too heavy on speed and light on power. That said, am I crazy to drop Drew Stubbs 2k11 (Bourjos) and Ian Dez 2k11 (Espinosa).

With that in mind can you rank Bourjos, Espinosa, Morse, Dan Johnson, Branyan, Joyce?

Also have Bailey so I need to drop Beachy for Fuentes correct?

GL this season!

@Donnie Baseball:

Ugh, I know exactly how you feel. In 2009 I did one team, then four in 2010 and now six (excluding fantasy Razzball team).

For the most part there are about 2 or so variations in each league with each position. If I don’t have Miggy, I have Fielder. If I don’t have Aaron Hill, I have Raburn (and Kelly Johnson in one league), etc. Same deal with SP.

I look forward to the end of the season because by then I know which fantasy baseball team I’m really rooting for. Problem is that I’m in four money leagues this year, so it’ll definitely be difficult to stop rooting for one of them.

And on top of all that, I’m still trying to root for the Marlins as they face opponents. Suffice to say, watching baseball this year is going to give me several ulcers.

In 2012, I’m definitely reducing it to four and maybe even three leagues.

Can baseball just start already? I want to see some stats next to my guys. @Grey: Have you drafted all of your teams now? Any guys you have everywhere?

@Grey @ Anyone: In a 16-team H2H league with W's, L's, ERA, WHIP, K's, SV's. Which are your favorite 2 SP's out of this bunch: Beachy, Niese, McDonald, McClellan, Bedard, Lowe

@Wilsonian: Ah... Well, that's a good reason to have Wright.

By: Wilsonian

Wilsonian — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 00:21:51 +0000

@JoeC: good thing it was just a tentative offer from a guy. I'm proudly keeping Gio. He wouldn't throw Thornton in instead of Putz, and that pretty much killed it for me. @Steve: I do believe Longoria messed around and got a triple-double, though. So he's got that going for him.

By: Wilsonian

Wilsonian — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 00:15:17 +0000

@Grey: tiny keeper league...picked up Wright in a deal last year when he was struggling. Straight highway robbery (Span and AJ Burnett for Wright) and had to keep him this year. Gracias for the head's up.

@Joel: Pitching looks much better than your hitting. It's not a terrible hitting team, but you have more flyers than I'd like in a league that shallow. @Donnie Baseball: Rudy and I co-manage 8 or so. I watch for everyone so I can write the roundups so who does well or bad only marginally changes my mood.

Hey Grey, how many leagues do you do? And how involved are you in each?

I ask this because I usually only do 2 very competive 20 team leagues. But this year I’m in 5 because I have a little bit more spare time.

But I’m finding I don’t like it so much. Usually I get the same core players for both leagues and then I root against who I don’t have and especially root against players that I wanted but didn’t get.

But now it seems like I have everybody on at least one team. So I have guys that I’m rooting for because I have them on one team but don’t want them to do to good because I just missed out on them on another. It sucks.

Sorry for the rambling, just wanted to here your opinion on that.

sorry Grey, with regard to 158 above, its a 12 team non-keeper snake draft. I actually am playing Infante at 3rd for 5 games till Youk qualifies, and have Dunn at IF till then. Then, I can cut Infante if I want. Thanks!

@Eddy: I'd like to see that too. @Wilsonian: You shouldn't even have Longoria and Wright on the same team, forget Alvarez. @Steve: Ha

@Grey: Longo didn't even *get* to use his AK. Definitely not a good day.

By: Wilsonian

Wilsonian — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 22:56:33 +0000

@Grey: sorry, I confused myself... Is that "yes" get Alvarez for Lind? OR "yes" Alvarez is overkill with Wright and Longoria and I don't need him? Sorry for confusing myself - it happens all the time.

Eddy — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 22:55:32 +0000

@Grey: Tell me about it. In other news, Chris Perez threw up on the mound today. He later left with "indigestion". I'd be forever grateful if someone could get a video.
