Anyway you can put these lists in a printer freindly version?…dont need 20 pages of comments…kust sayin,,,thanks dogg!

Get Some!!

Whats your thoughts? Hold Farns in case 1 of my four don;t pan out or grab Wood now?

I’ve got the 4th and 6th picks overall and I’d like to have either a 3B or a MI and one stud starter. Do I go with either (in my order of preference) Beltre, Phillips, Jeter, Kinsler, Rollins + Weaver, Ubaldo, Gallardo, Liriano

…or take Morneau as my position player if he’s still available? I think he’ll have the best overall numbers but I’d have to put him at UTL and still have to fill the more scarce positions with only 4 over draft picks in the next 8 rounds. Which way would you go here?

Wah?!?!?!

Yes, I think 8 Team actually has it’s difficulties. The biggest of which is that there is so much waiver wire talent that I find myself wanting to constantly pick people and am tempted to drop people even when I don’t really need to (or at least not yet). Another big issue stems from this: with all this talent out there, people with injuries or struggling guys have tons to choose from and can maintain a solid performing team. This is not always the case in larger leagues. Yes, my team is stacked (worst starter is E. Jackson), but I’m already wanting to drop and pickup guys on the wire, and the season hasn’t started yet. Granted, you don’t have to look too far to find a replacement, but I do find that the competition is so strong that it plays out well for the majority of the season. Anyone has a shot at winning simply because losing a bat or an arm to an early (or late injury) doesn’t always mean death to their season. It’s always possible to find someone who’s on fire and can shoulder the load.

In 16 Team leagues, this isn’t the case. Due to the pool being so much shallower, many people can’t fight off the injury or suckitude bug, and a few teams fall off the face of the earth come June. I like the 16 Team league better, simply because I really enjoy looking for the diamond in the rough. It’s much more entertaining to try to find this season’s Mat Latos than it is to know that should one of my pitchers falter or get injured, I can snag Kennedy, Kuroda, Cueto, Danks, etc. out of the FA pool.

I like to have a variety of leagues because they each pose their own distinct difficulties, and I find it keeps me on my toes. I know a lot of people scoff at the 8 Team league, but it really is fun, and provides it’s own level of entertainment.

It’s only my 3rd year playing fantasy baseball and I like it a ton, but it is just too involved for me to get into serious, big money leagues. That’s what I’ve done for 12 years with fantasy football. It’s quite a bit easier to handle since NFL Teams only play once per week.

*****THERE’S A NEW POST FOR FOLLOWUPS.******

i have longoria, who i can keep in the 13th for this year, and then wouldn’t be able to be kept. he has alvarez who can be kept in the 26th this year, 25th next year and 24th the following year before being thrown back.

I was thinking of proposing my longoria and a 5th round pick for his alvarez and 1st round pick (on which i would most likely end up with cano).

So its: cano, alvarez and whomever I can get in the 13th plus the added years of alvarez, or longoria and whomever I can get in the 5th and 26th.

a good deal for me, right? and does he consider it?

thanks!

obviously.

That’s what she said.

(Yeah, I know, even older than Sheen quotes)

BiPolar…..more like BiWinning! Duh!

We also distinguish OF positions and I have both J-Hey and Stanton (4th and 9th rounds, respectively, Miguel Cabrera Benderly-undevalued in this format) and I’m shopping them for SP but not getting much of a nibble. Right now I have open offers of Stanton for Scherzer, Stanton for Haren, and Stanton/Zimmermann for Weaver/L. Scott. Should I cut those offers and wait until it becomes clearer how awesome those two are going to be for this format?

Any the woo. I’m in a 10 team 6×6 keeper league with QS and TB with 7 keepers. I’m being offered Braun and Utley for my Cano and Pence. Is the upgrade from Pence to Braun worth the added risk of Utley? My other keepers would be Hanley, Votto, Crawford, Zimmerman and McCann.

Winning! Duh!

@dsimon: Sounds good.

@ProjectBadass: Let him go for now.

@The Sitch: YoGa and Johnson sounds very solid.

Romero – 2
Anderson – 5
Hellickson – 1
Gonzalez – 5
Zimmerman – 1
Minor – 4
Chacin – 1
Stauffer – 1
Hudson – 4

I think we’re on the same page here, Grey.

As a keeper, I have Gosh Johnson as my number 1 starter – is YoGa a good guy to pair him with as my number 2? Other options would be Liriano and Scherzer (and maybe Cain). I want someone who I know will pitch 200 innings lined up next to Johnson. Any other names in this area of the draft I should be targeting as my number 2? Thanks Grey.

Grey, a team just dropped Harang because of his horrible 3IP 7ER outing…would you use a waiver pick, pick him up once he clears waivers, or just forget about him until he shows better stuff? If so, who would you drop Fuentes, Bourjos or Stauffer?

C- John Buck
1B- Miguel Cabrera
2B- Brandon Phillips
3B- Mark Reynolds
SS- Elvis Andrus
OFx3- J-upside, Choo, Vernon Wells
UTILx2- Travis Snider, The Big FraGu
Bench- Peter Bourjos

SPx5- Cain, Max Scherzer, Daniel Hudson, Gio Gonzalez, Travis Wood
RPx3- Broxton, Frank Francisco, Brandon League
P- Fuentes
Bench- Cecil, Minor, Stauffer

Our offensive side is pretty shallow, with C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, LF, CF, RF, Util.

We have space every day for 4 SP and 3 RP and 8 total bench spots.

I’ve decided I’ve got to have a really strong offense in this league since we start so few guys especially after overdrafting SP in previous years, and I wanted to get to the 9th round having taken only 1-2 pitchers total, then starting in round 12-13, just start taking these pitchers with my next 4-5 picks. Viable strategy?

So, with that being said, here is my team as it stands now.

Howard
Zimmerman
Wright
Cargo
Heyward
Hamilton
Latos

I have three more picks before a three round hiatus due to keepers. Would you take three straight pitchers or mix in another bat?

@Ian: Choo is 20/20 going on 17/17 and Heyward’s going on 24/17. Hair splitting, I suppose, but I like Heyward better than Choo.

@MagicTerp: Outfield…

@Bristol: Howard…
