Hey Grey – where would you rank Neftali Feliz if he becomes a SP?

@Grey: It's a dynasty, so I go into the auction blank slate. Right now, it's Fielder, R Howard, Andrus, Hanson, Scherzer, Haren, Greinke. I figure if I can get 3 of the top tier 1B (and 4 more are kept), I can absolutely maximize my util with power (a luxury very few have). Also, I can charge a king's ransom since nobody will have solid 1B's

@Steve: Bleh @Tom: I'm not interested in looking at CBS' rankings, they're usually terrible, I'm sure that top 300 is no different.

@Wilsonian: I agree i feel like everyone goes to this or a basic stupid magazine. I`ll admit i bought one a couple a days ago and it was horrible David wright at 24 spot you gotta be kidding me - yea im a met fan and everything but still ONE BAD YEAR.

@Tom: I don't like it...unfortunately I'm in a draft right now (it lasts about a month, 16 teams, each team has 12 hours to pick, and we do it on a blog/forum-like thing), and this is the only cumulative resource right now. I try to use it and Grey's picks/advice to make my selections.

Hey Grey not to put anyone down but what do you think of cbs’s top 300
http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasybaseball/story/14419198/initial-top-300-for-2011

Me personally I feel like they rank players on hype and what they did last year.

@Grey: Speaking of Tony, you liking Masterson this year?

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 03:46:39 +0000

@Steve: Ha, yeah, Tony seems familiar. @Wilsonian: Hill, Napoli... @Cole: He doesn't have a starting job.

@Grey: What do you think of Ever Cab as a late round flier at MI? I think I read he got deported.

By: Wilsonian

Wilsonian — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 03:44:19 +0000

Almost my pick again in my 16 Team draft. Here’s my team so far:

Hamilton, Heyward, Wright, Dunn, Andrus, Lester, Marcum.

Assuming these following guys are available, can you rank them for me in the order of who I should take?

Napoli, A. Hill, Dom Brown, Grady, K. Johnson, Morrow, Floyd, Kennedy.

Much obliged…kinda leaning Nap or Hill.

@Grey: I obviously lied when I said I’d had my last word on the subject.

Take a look at the comments, they’re hilarious. Even their audience think they’re a joke. Though I think I detect one of our own in there…

@Eddy: Nah, not watching it. Unless you mean tomorrow's top 50 unveiling by Stephen.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 02:44:10 +0000

@Steve: That's so crazy.

By: Steve

Steve — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 02:30:14 +0000

@Grey: My bad. It is deep. Carlos Pena was taken in the 22nd. He's a batting-average drain, you see...

By: Eddy

Eddy — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 02:16:47 +0000

Anyone else going to watch the top 50 prospects unveiling? I say Harper ends up being #1.

I actually just found out I had the MLB Network (emoticon).

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 02:11:49 +0000

@Steve: Ha... Yeah, I don't get people who are like you take Howard and I'll take Youk and it's the same thing. Has Youk ever hit over 30 homers? Didn't he miss half of last year with a hand injury? Bonkers. @Mr2Bits: Please put them in order of drafted rounds. @cubbies299: Probably... But the rest of the team would be good to know. @Tom: Between the 5th and 8th usually works.

Smokey — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:47:22 +0000

@cubbies299: whats the rest of you team look like? @Tom: It's kind of a feel for the draft answer, basically find a guy that u like in the 10-15 and when its gets close enough to him you take him. Setting a specific round for me in the past has been really ungood.

By: Steve

Steve — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:44:37 +0000

@Tom: Depends who's there of course (if Felix is there in the 4th, you're taking him), but maybe the 5th or 6th? 10th is waiting too long.

By: Tom

Tom — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:42:27 +0000

Sup all this is a question for Grey but anyone can jump in.

Any suggestions on when to start picking up pitching in a 12 team mix draft?
Last year i didnt pick a SP till the 5th round this year i was thinking about waiting till the 10th – suggestions please

By: cubbies299

cubbies299 — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:38:03 +0000

Hi,

Would you trade 4 years of Tommy Hanson @ $20 and 3 years of $20 Greinke for 3 years of $35 Texeira in a dynasty? $300/team 14 team mixed

By: Smokey

Smokey — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 01:34:22 +0000

@Steve: Makes sense that the little kiddies like doing 10 team leagues. Tisk tisk world wide leader my eye. @Grey: Gotta go iron bound for the goods.

@Grey: Oh - and someone should also point out to him that just because a bunch of clowns don't have a clue where to draft Ryan Howard does NOT mean 1B is deep this year. That's my last word on this. Starting to feel like The Resurrection of Hater Bell.

Are the top 20 starter rankings 2nite? i am tingling with excitement, it would make me a happy camper to see all 3 of my keepers in the top 20

@Steve: The fact that AJ Mass took Bautista confirms I'm right about him.
