Grienke can be looking at a big spike because of the switch in leagues.

So how would you rank them fantasy wise? Which one is better and do you think they are both top 15, mixed league starters?

I know Yahoo and and ESPN open their doors in the month of February.

And Yahoo hosts free auctions. But as for any other current site doing free auctions, i wouldn’t know.

Couchmanagers has recently changed it so that you need a paid subscription to do mock auctions. Anyone know of a site with free mock auctions? Also, what date-ish do Yahoo!/ESPN open their FB doors?

jeffress included in the deal .
he’s not ready to close , yet , but ,
soria’s got to be slated as the next to leave kc .
the royals are far from being able to derive “worth” from
rostering a top-notch closer .

any thoughts ?

Looks like when I chose Greinke over Hamels and Verlander in the mock thinking he’d go to the NL I was right! :P

Will the Royals let Aclides run free? Do we have a new favorite MI pick? Those are the questions for the man with the ‘stache.

I’m a big believer in the idea a player’s power will build until he’s 27. I guess my love for Smoak is all in relation to where Billy Butler goes in drafts. Pretty similar players but I will bet anyone Smoak will have more HRs this year.

Resigned DLR and got Tulowristy long term. Shored up the infield depth with Wiggington and Lopez. Sneaky strikeout guy in Paulino. All we need is a solid reliever. Now we add Mike Jacobs? Are you kidding me? The fact that the Royals and Mets don’t want him isn’t enough? Next thing you know, we’ll be giving Renteria 6 million a year.

Come on, O’Dowd. You’ve gotten this far. Don’t start screwing things up.

Thanks. Follow-up to that one…

I can retain a max of six from year to year. I’ve narrowed my choices down to among these seven…whom would you send back to the auction pile?

Desmond- $2, McGehee- $3, Chris Young (OF version)- $5, Dread Pirate- $2, Zimmerman- $22, Gallardo- $3, Chapman- $2

Perhaps the answer is which player could be expected to be nabbed for a price closest to what I would need to pay in order to retain?

On a related note, there is (sort of) an eighth player…one I had planned on retaining for $2 in 2011, but holding on to one Stephen Strasburg doesn’t seem wise as I would presumably lose all this coming year (my league is a low maintenance– trades and IR replacements is all that is allowed so auction success is critical) and who knows how he might be in 2012?
