Bonifacio
Pedroia
Cueto

and I get:

Cozart
Kendrick
CC Sabathia

Terrible deal for me, right? Would it be reasonable if we took out Pedroia/Kendrick?

D.Haren, $5
J.Zimmerman, $11
G.Gonzalez, $10
U.Jimenez, $5

On offense:
C.Santana, $5
E.Hosmer, $5
S.Castro, $10
M.Stanton, $5
J.Heyward, $5

Needless to say, I like building around young talent. We also have a 3-player farm, and mine includes B.Harper, J.Montero, and J.Profar. Thanks for your hard work. I’ll continue to regularly utilize your site.

ie Lester over Haren

Not arguing for arguing`s sake, just looking for a little justification.

@Doog: I don’t know what you have to give up. That’s a bit much for Lincecum.

@David Bowies Cousin: Thanks for the kind words! I think you answered your own question. Hanson and Johnson are injury risks.

Also, is Pineda, Napoli, and Kimbrel too much for Lincecum in a dynasty?

How does this line sound to you?
21-8/2.88/1.09/198

Yes, freakin awesome! Kennedy’s stats from last season.
He’s been a Top-5 Fantasy Starting-Pitcher last year and this year he doesn’t crack the Top-20?
How old is he? 40? No, wait a minute. 27!!! Upside!?

Doesn’t make sense to me at all, exspecially when looking at his minor league numbers, which are awesome too.

@MH: Yeah, think regression is getting lost somewhere. You might be right on Wilson. I had him lower at one point and Hudson at 20. Last minute flip-flopping changed things, but I’m happy with what I landed on. I also like Marcum. Wilson was in a terrible park last year so that had me being more generous with him.

****THERE’S A NEW POST***

I’m not trying to say these guys didn’t increase their stock dramatically, but to call either one top 20 at their position is ignoring this little statistical concept called regression. Could either of them be Top 20? Of course. Is it the most likely outcome? No sir.

I’ll be much more inclined to have Daniel Hudson on my rosters this year than Kennedy, not to say I think Hudson is better, but I think they’re about the same and Hudson will cost quite a bit less.

I also think CJ Wilson is being a bit overrated here, though I can see the arguments for him. I’m just worried about his thoroughly mediocre plate discipline numbers. His F-Strike%, SwStrike%, and O-Swing% are all a touch below average, his Contact% and Zone% just a touch above average. Its tough to explain how he made the gains he made last year in his walk and strikeout rates. I do think he’ll be solid, but I’m not sure I see a huge difference between he and, say, Shaun Marcum (who like Greinke will benefit in ERA from the Brewers improved defense but may lose a few projected wins), and I actually think there’s a decent chance the two are basically flipped in next years rankings. Marcum has a much better history of good command and his SwStrike% and F-Strike% are both quite a bit better. Wilson will get a few more ground balls, Marcum will issue fewer walks, and I think when both of their strikeout rates regress towards each other Wilson will end up with an extra win or two while Marcum will have the better WHIP and their ERAs will be about the same.

@Big Magoo: They’re coming up shortly.

@SwaggerJackers: Ha…Understood…

@Big Magoo: League and park help Cain. Also, Weaver can give up 4 runs a game and the Angels can still win.
