are you stacked with outfielders? I have both Zobrist and Carlos Gonzalez

6/2/2010 12:10:56 PM

As far as OF, I've got:

BJ Upton
Brett Gardner
Torii Hunter
Johnny Damon
Marlon Byrd

And Carlos Beltran is taking up one of my DL spots right now.

6/2/2010 12:12:25 PM

Well...top notch SS's are harder to come by than good outfielders...based on what you've got, I might try to counter something to get even more...ie Zobrist + shit player for Alex, Carlos, somebody else...if he rejects, I would probably hang onto Zobrist

6/2/2010 12:15:41 PM

damn did anyone watch any of the Syracuse Buffalo AAA game on Versus? Started at 1:05, Strasburg's final minor league appearance...I just heard that it was going to be televised, roughly 2 and a half hours after it was set to start

ok

5.0 innings, 3 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, no runs

6/3/2010 3:29:43 PM

I'm actually kind of lucky Ellsbury went back on the DL

Bay, Werth, Gardner, Wells, Gonzalez, Coghlan

I need to trade one of these bastards

6/3/2010 4:05:43 PM

Should I give up Shields to get Greinke?

6/4/2010 3:51:57 AM

As a Greinke owner, I'd trade him away for Shields. He's struggling with his command, his offense gives him no support and even when he does leave with a lead, his bullpen blows it.

Now that Michael Stanton is finally going to get his chance to bash in the big-leagues, I'm trying to figure out who if anyone I should sit for him. My OF consists of Ethier, Heyward, Abreu, Victorino and Pagan. I also have Glaus and Rolen in my Utility spots.

6/6/2010 10:00:37 PM

if by some fucking miracle Stephen Strasburg is somehow available in your league, pick him up now

MLB debut tomorrow at home versus the Pirates!

6/7/2010 1:17:24 PM

Oh how I love the Astros

Pence + Berkman + Bourn = 0/11, 1 walk, BA .000, OBP .091

6/7/2010 11:17:40 PM

WTF. I almost want to veto this.

DROD, you just raped Saps on the most recent trade.

I'd bet my life that Longo/Bay/Wainwright outdoes A-Rod/Pence/Broxton..

6/8/2010 12:22:26 AM

the 3B/OF combos could be considered a wash

then you compare a top 5 starter to a top 5 closer

imo

do it, i vote against every trade

and i need a top tier closer, i have lester and carpenter already, my best closer is heath bell

[Edited on June 8, 2010 at 12:55 AM. Reason : .]

6/8/2010 12:45:30 AM

Freakin Carlos Pena. Does nothing for a month then I finally sit him and he blows up for 2 HRs tonight. I want to drop him just for that.

6/8/2010 8:55:55 PM

^yeah that bastard is sitting on my bench in one league, just saw he went off today. didnt he do the same thing last month? Hit 2 homers in one game and then didnt do shit until now

^^yeah, I hate to give Broxton away, but I like Wainwright a lot. And like twista just said, the 3B/OF combos are basically a wash, I just personally like Longoria more than ARod. ARod has been on fire for me lately, and Pence is having a top 20 month

6/8/2010 9:54:27 PM

longoria is fantastic

bay is a cancer that im happy to be rid of

6/8/2010 10:00:48 PM

i'm jk, bay is great, you'll love him, enjoy

6/8/2010 10:02:21 PM

7 innings
14 strikeouts

well worth the 18th round pick and the 2 and a half months of AA and AAA

well he fires trade offers up every single day, eventually someone's going to be his huckleberry

6/8/2010 10:30:42 PM

I like to mix things up a little, what can I say. Even if 95% of my trades are rejected, its fun putting them together, and gives me something to do at work

6/8/2010 10:35:14 PM

i'd do the same if fantasysports werent blocked at work.

bastards.

6/8/2010 10:35:48 PM

Marlins/Phillies and Mets/Padres games are both postponed

Adjust your lineups accordingly

6/9/2010 5:36:00 PM

so how many of you jokers have phillies and mets and padres and marlins in your active lineup since you didn't see my post

6/9/2010 8:09:49 PM

i had mine benched, i pay attention and shit

6/9/2010 8:27:56 PM

good for you saps, way to stay on top of things

6/9/2010 8:31:21 PM

NyM410, however, did not

6/9/2010 9:14:23 PM

random question. Can the commissioner of a league see who voted against a trade?

6/9/2010 9:17:02 PM

no, why? was a trade voted down

6/9/2010 9:17:45 PM

no, I was just wondering, its something I have been wondering for a while, just always forgot to ask

are you coming on the trip this weekend? you never wrote me back earlier

6/9/2010 9:18:53 PM

as noted earlier, i vote against every trade

also pm sent

^^because ive never seen one voted down and I want to

6/10/2010 11:07:13 PM

Ok, someone in my league just dropped Denard Span....a speedy OF that can hit for average and score tons of runs, which is what I need (BA, SB, Runs). Who do I drop for him (parentheses indicate where they play on my team right now):

Andre Ethier (OF)
Jason Heyward (OF)
Bobby Abreu (OF)
Shane Victorino (OF)
Troy Glaus (CI)
Scott Rolen (Util)
Angel Pagan (Bench)
Carlos Pena (Bench)
Michael Stanton (OF)
Nick Markakis (Bench)

6/11/2010 7:18:00 PM

^ Pagan or Markakis. Neither one is much of an OF fantasy threat. I'd personally drop Pagan because he'll probably start to tail off, but Markakis could still turn it on.

6/11/2010 11:53:31 PM

Pagan has value if you have a LF/CF/RF position (rare but some leagues are in depth) but not if it's just OF.

Anyway, I'm having a retarded day. 14 runs, 8 HR, 16 RBI, 3 SB and a .457 average.

6/13/2010 6:37:08 PM

when do i just give up on pablo sandoval

[Edited on June 14, 2010 at 10:03 PM. Reason : ungh i need more multiposition infielders]

6/14/2010 10:00:22 PM

Sandoval was so awesome a couple years ago when he had Catcher eligibility

6/14/2010 11:59:13 PM

So, uh, in the last week I picked up Roy Oswalt and AJ Burnett as free agents.

Roy Oswalt: 3.16 ERA, 1.09 WHIP
AJ Burnett: 3.86 ERA, 1.33 WHIP

Of course, Burnett's numbers aren't GREAT but he plays for a team that gets him W's and they have an EXTREMELY soft June schedule. Oswalt being available is unforgivable. If he gets traded to a team that doesn't play in a bandbox he could be a Top 7 pitcher this year.

6/16/2010 9:30:28 AM

^ you must play in a shitty league.

6/16/2010 11:42:09 AM

Glad I stuck with Reyes and Peavy! Colby Lewis was also nuts today although I am skeptical how long he can keep this going.

^^, ^, haha I traded Kuroda to get Oswalt when he was losing but having quality starts.

6/20/2010 2:29:39 AM

I'm having my best week of the season...I'm up 14-0 on the 1st place team in the league (14 total categories)

I only have 7 homers and 4 steals on the week, but my pithcers are 5-1 with 5 saves, 69 Ks and a 0.86 WHIP in 64 innings pitched

6/20/2010 5:22:51 PM

aaaaaaaaaand after going 14-0 last week I start this week off with AJ Burnett giving up (at least) 3 homers in the 1st

6/21/2010 10:28:11 PM

here's some advice to NYM:

don't start Burnett tonight. LOL. already up 5-2 on the week

[Edited on June 21, 2010 at 10:48 PM. Reason : in related news, i'm glad i started Montero]

6/21/2010 10:42:56 PM

Matt Capps
Steven Strasburg

for

Roy Halladay (me)


I need saves and Ks. Thoughts?

6/23/2010 6:14:54 AM

I kind of like that trade for you, however, keep in mind Strasburg might have met his limit by the time your playoffs start, whereas Halladay doesn't really have an innings pitched limit

So while I like your value in the short term, when you get to your playoffs and it really matters, I don't know how much Strasburg is gonna pitch

6/23/2010 1:58:08 PM

How is your mongoloid league going?

6/23/2010 1:58:52 PM

The league yall were dogging because Matt Kemp wasn't a top 5 pick?

Well, Kemp is the 52nd ranked player overall, what value!

Of course only a retard would take an outfielder in the top 5 when thats such a deep position

I'm in 3rd place currently...2nd best record but division leaders get top 2 seeds

Quote :

"Kemp is a top 5 player Him falling to 16 instantly tells me that league is full of mongloids"

lol, Kemp is not a top 50 fantasy player right now

actually checking back, thats not even my league, that was the league i helped my buddy draft in

Kemp went 8th in my league, not 16th...still WAAAAAAAY to high when guys like Longoria and Cabrera were on the board

[Edited on June 23, 2010 at 2:06 PM. Reason : .]

6/23/2010 2:03:23 PM

1st place is held by a Janitor and 2nd by a shift manager at Quizno's

[Edited on June 23, 2010 at 2:06 PM. Reason : Doesn't matter where he is right now...in terms of draft day value, he was top 5, top 10 at worst]

ps: picking an outfielder in the first round is a good way to assure that your team misses the postseason all together

6/23/2010 2:06:34 PM

Value is everything

If a team takes Eric Bledsoe in the top 5 tomorrow night and he turns out to be the best player in the draft, its still a bad pick

If Washington takes Wall #1 and he's a bust, its still a good pick

Its all about value at that particular slot
