@derek hollandaise, Your pitching looks like a mess and your hitting isn’t that strong for that to be the case…

Accidentally posted this on another article, tell RJ sorry for me…

@Grey – Quick question: Why is Tommy Hanson being ranked so low this year? Wasn’t he like top 10 or 15 at his position preseason last year? Is it just injury concerns or…?

@Grey – Long question: My auction league gives the usual $260 to play with, but we can use $100 for keepers from last year. Who would you keep in this mug? We’re using the Yahoo! projected auction values, which I’ve included to make it easier. From this post, there are no players on my team that you think Yahoo is overvaluing. So far I’m thinking of keeping Prince, Kemp and Beachy and just keeping the rest of my $$ for the auction (can’t keep CarGo w/Prince and Kemp or would go over $100 limit, unless you’d keep CarGo over Prince? Same deal with Kershaw, plus I know from every article you’ve read that you think there’s too much pitching out there this year to pay for top tier guys).

My squad from el pasado ano:

Kemp – $44
CarGo – $37
Prince – $29
Pedroia – $28
Wright – $24
Victorino – $14
Ethier – $9

P’s
Kershaw – $32
T. Hanson – $11
Bumgarner – $13
Beachy – $9
Morrow – $6
Minor – $1
(not putting in closers…SAGNOF!)

Sorry to ask you to do math.
I’m thinking Prince, Kemp, Beachy ($84) or
Prince, Kemp, Wright ($97).
With the former I would have the option of adding Minor or Morrow (or both) or Bumgarner or Hanson.

Thanks froggy frog!

Yeah, batting stats look fine…

By: Tyler

@Grey,
AHH, two picks in the “whammied” category. Lind sat on the wire for a while before I grabbed Masterson, but didn’t have the room.
Even batting stats though?
Gladly buying you a daquiri!

@Steven, Thanks for the kind words! It’s the first tier of guys. You can’t go wrong with any of them. They are all in the same tier and like I say they’re interchangeable within that tier. With that said, I’d take Braun with the 1st pick. Take follow ups to my newest post, the Marlins one.

Why so much more love for Kendricks than Cuddyer?Yahoo has them ranked 70 and 72 and they both play 1B,2B and OF.I see the Coors factor improving Cuddy a bit and Pujols doing the same for Kendricks.The age factor too I guess.

@Grey,

Garza, Zimmerman, Anibal, Scherzer, Ubaldo, Marcum are all available. Should I grab one of these guys and then hope there is something decent left after the turn around?
