@Grey: Maybe Delgado's a Latin 36? I could see him pulling a dreaded groin muscle this year, or godforbid, suffering from bunions and hammertoe.

@BigFatHippo: Eh, Sheff's much older. @Exonerated: I do.

Grey do you like Carlos Gomez this year? Prefer him over Span?

Seems like Sheff might have a Delgado year left in him.

@BigFatHippo: Sheffield is real old and his average has become a liability, but he seems stubborn as a mule. As a late round flier, sure, why not? But if he's eligible at only DH, then no way.

@Grey: Yeah, seems like I've targeted Zimmerman forever and he's dissapointed me every year. This could be his breakout so why not? If I can get him for less than 10 bucks. Never thought of Byrnes, maybe late for a dollar or two, thanks. Don't like Swisher or Godzilla, what do you think of Sheffield this year?

@BigFatHippo: Maybe not to the same extent, but Zimmerman was injured last year. He should be better this year. Matsui *could* bounce back, but his playing time might be limited. Same goes for Swisher. Byrnes also has a few hurdles to get over for PT, but he might bounce back. I'm only fully endorsing Zimmerman here, but the others are potentially in the same situation as the Mags one you mentioned.

@Grey: I'm also a firm believer in cheap players coming off of injury to target late in an auction. Example: Maggs for $2 in 06 coming off an injury prone 2 years. Kept him for 3 and he was golden. Anybody out there like that to target?

@Grey: Pretty damn competitive, we've had a different winner for the last 5 years. Steve, you can check out the history of the league on my Yahoo profile, before that we played in a different league and there's no history. Guys like Markakis, Rios, Kinsler etc. have been kept since they were rookies at a cost of $5 per year increase. Needless to say, keepers are what helps you win as I've gone from 4th to 2nd to 1st in the last three years, with a little help from Hanley (till I traded him away, dammit), Hamels and Bills.

@Grey: I think that reflects very well on the three of us.
