bump. need a couple more people to sign up.

3/18/2008 9:25:35 AM

your offense is the jam, but yer pitching i don't like.

3/18/2008 8:31:53 PM

Gallardo is hurt and Willis has been going downhill for a few years but maybe a league change will help. Izzy is solid but doesn't have a whole let left in the tank.

Is this our fantasy discussion thread too now?

3/19/2008 1:17:42 AM

Yeah, pretty much all of your pitchers are in steep declines

3/19/2008 1:21:24 AM

Here is my team:

Joe Mauer
Albert Pujols
Ian Kinsler
Miguel Tejada
Ryan Braun
Carlos Lee
Grady Sizemore
Michael Cuddyer
Vladimir Guerrero
Josh Hamilton
Delmon Young
Edgar Renteria
Adrian Beltre

Erik Bedard
Cole Hamels
Dan Haren
Pedro Martinez
Ben Sheets
Francisco Rodriguez
JJ Putz
Mariano Rivera
Todd Jones
Takashi Saito
Jered Weaver
Rich Harden

I love my team. What do you all think?

3/19/2008 1:34:36 AM

I think that's pretty much the greatest fantasy baseball team ever. Are you playing in a one man league or are the other guys in comas or something? How did you end up with that team?

(On a second look, I don't like Pedro, Sheets, or Saito much, but you're still ridiculously loaded.)

LOL I thought my team was pretty good but is it really that loaded? It is a 10-team league and we go by pretty much the standard stats and rules on ESPN. This is my first fantasy baseball team....I have done others mainly football but this is my first in baseball.

And yeah I took a flyer on Pedro, Sheets, and Harden hoping they would actually be healthy this year.

3/19/2008 3:24:41 PM

Packboozie, is there only like four teams in your league or something

3/19/2008 3:57:29 PM

Nah I swear....its a normal league....I knew my team looked better than theirs but after more looks I don't see me losing all year.

3/19/2008 7:06:27 PM

I've got my league's draft on Sunday afternoon

I'll give Yahoo credit on their customer service though, which I hadn't ever really dealt with. Our draft was supposed to be a couple Sunday afternoons ago and my boy called me about 5 minutes after draft start time and was like "is our draft today" and I'm like oh shit so I go into my league and it autodrafted, but the league only had 4 players at the time. And once your league drafts, you can't boot people, delete the league, etc. I shot an email to Yahoo and told them what was up and that I wanted the league reset and they had it done within 24 hours...gg Yahoo!

3/19/2008 7:12:00 PM

Here's my first team, 11th pick out of 12. It went okay, I could use more pitching but it's always easier to pick up pitching during the season than a good bat. I like my Outfield, three young soon-to-be-stars who have yet to reach their peak.

2. (14) Grady Sizemore OF
3. (35) Aramis Ramirez 3B
4. (38) Derek Jeter SS

6. (62) Roy Oswalt SP
7. (83) Billy Wagner RP
8. (86) Mariano Rivera RP
9. (107) Javier Vazquez SP
10. (110) Jeff Francoeur OF
11. (131) Placido Polanco 2B
12. (134) Yovani Gallardo SP
13. (155) Willy Taveras OF
14. (158) Tim Hudson SP
15. (179) Ivan Rodriguez C
16. (182) Troy Glaus 3B
17. (203) Evan Longoria 3B
18. (206) Jeremy Guthrie SP,RP
19. (227) Jose Guillen OF
20. (230) Pat Neshek RP

23. (275) Mark Buehrle SP
24. (278) Eddie Guardado RP

3/20/2008 5:06:55 PM

do yall think 'Total Bases Allowed' would be a good stat category to add to my league in order to try and discourage people from dropping and adding new starting pitchers each day? current 5 pitching categories i have are Wins, Saves, Strikeouts, ERA, WHIP....if people do the constant drop and add they have a better chance of getting strikeouts and wins than someone who sticks with their pitchers...I figure Total Bases Allowed might be a good way to even out pitching? Whats a good 6th batting category to add? Currently I have AVG, HR, RBI, SB, R

3/23/2008 10:39:07 AM

^can't you just limit total ip?

3/23/2008 10:52:31 AM

yeah but i dont want to completely ban people from being able to add and drop i just dont want as much of an inherent advantage
