“Self-explanatory. No DH, pitchers hitting, weaker offenses. They bunt in the NL! SO WHEN CHOOSING BETWEEN GREINKE AND LOWE, GO LOWE. Between Kershaw and Baker, go Kershaw. Instead of chewing gum, chew bacon!”

YIKES!

@Tom: Is that a 10 or 12 team mixed league? It's really weak for 10 team and just weak for 12 team...

@Tom: Your front three are fine, but Edwin isn't worth starting right now except in very deep leagues.

Are F-Hernandez, Wainwright, J. Johnson, E. Jackson decent enough 1-4 to start a season with? I love grabbing one pitcher like Hernandez early and concentrating on bats, but I feel really weak in starting pitching now. It could be worse, but what do you like least: Wainwright as #2, Johnson as a #3 or Jackson being on my team?

Good points. But my thinking is the thought of a huge pay day in the winter will trump all that and he’ll end up with decent numbers considering where he will be drafted.

Grey, I’m looking at Myers to bounce back this year. 35 pounds less and in a contract year could equal a solid season with 15 wins and lots of K’s. Thoughts?

@Benny: I wouldn't move hitters up. I'd go with what we have here.

Thanks Grey

Hitters – R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG, SLAM, OFA

Pitchers – W, CG, SHO, SV, K, ERA, WHIP

I was gonna move pitchers up a round (or two) compared to most strategies.

I’m thinking it’ll be a bit easier to find good pitchers in FA than good hitters, but I’m not really sure.

@Benny: No, your strategy would need to change a bit for the climate of your league. Your hitters are still very valauble, but I have no idea what the other categories are so you need to focus on those categories, as well.
