Hell we were happy to get 8 in the two leagues I am in.

One is friends, one is work people.

3/30/2012 8:43:32 PM

Slave Famous only plays in NL-only leagues with 24 teams and 45 bench spots

3/30/2012 11:28:04 PM

even without starters, there are not enough players on NL 40-man rosters to fill those 45 bench spots.

3/30/2012 11:39:44 PM

thats why you draft minor league players

3/30/2012 11:47:25 PM

This year ill share my list of guys i think will outperform their draft spot(some of these guys arent wven drafted in 10-12 team leagues)

Late round guys i like this year:
Lorenzo cain
Henderson Alvarez
Lucas duda
Jason kipnis
Andrew cashner
John mayberry jr
Matt gamel
Mike aviles
Mike Minor

for deep leagues where people draft bryce harper, mike trout etc
Billy hamilton
Brett Jackson


That is all

3/31/2012 12:47:15 AM

I want to make a trade to get Mike Moustakas. I would like to offer Mark Teixeira. Obviously I need something else back in return, so what seems fair? I like Freddie Freeman, but I don't know that anybody else besides Asdrubal would be a legit upgrade, and I don't think he'd part with him unless I threw in Alexei too.

his team:

C - Buster Posey
1B - Freddie Freeman
2B - Dustin Pedroia
3B - Evan Longoria
SS - Asdrubal Cabrera
OF - Justin Upton
OF - Drew Stubbs
OF - Logan Morrison
Util - Emilio Bonifacio
BN - Nick Markakis
BN - Dexter Fowler
BN - Mike Moustakas
BN - Brennan Boesch

and mine:

C - Miguel Montero
1B - Adrian Gonzalez
2B - Ben Zobrist
3B - Ryan Zimmerman
SS - Alexei Ramirez
OF - Jay Bruce
OF - Shane Victorino
OF - B.J. Upton
Util - Mark Teixeira
BN - Ichiro Suzuki
BN - Adam Lind
BN - Lorenzo Cain
BN - Kelly Johnson

4/2/2012 11:59:10 PM

jesus christ dude, i know youre a royals fan but you want to give up a top-10 1b in a top-5 hitting offense for a homer pick who hasnt proved anything in the league

stick with tex at utility

[Edited on April 3, 2012 at 12:06 AM. Reason : Ryan Zimmerman > Mustache]

4/3/2012 12:04:37 AM

then i have to change my name.. it's been Mike's Moose Tacos for like 2 years

maybe something with 'Zo Cain.. like cocaine. hm

4/3/2012 12:08:04 AM

you could name the team Asdrubal's Ass Dribble or something like that

i'd go with something like Pedroida Rage

4/3/2012 12:15:07 AM

nah that's his team. mine's on the bottom..

4/3/2012 12:37:48 AM

oh yeah

how about Suzuki BJ's Upton

also I got Ichiro at the 90th pick, I think he finishes the year as a top-50 fantasy player, easily bats over .300

4/3/2012 12:45:31 AM

I need some help. 8 team keeper league and I made some killer trades last year. Problem is, I only get to keep five guys. Here is who I was planning on keeping and tell me if I should swap anyone.

KEEP
Albert Pujols
Matt Kemp
Troy Tulowitzki
Cliff Lee
Clayton Kershaw

RELEASE
Jacoby Ellsbury
Carl Crawford
Brian McCann
David Price
Roy Oswalt
Tommy Hanson
etc.

I'm wondering if I should swap Ellsbury for Lee or Kershaw, but like having two stud pitchers. Thoughts?

4/4/2012 9:34:44 AM

Kershaw is possibly going to be the best pitcher in baseball for the next 5-10 years. No way you let him go. You keep him over Lee.

4/4/2012 9:38:14 AM

Lee or Ellsbury?

4/4/2012 9:39:20 AM

IDK man it depends on if your league is pitching or hitting heavy, but I would easily keep Kershaw and Price over Lee. Lee has 1/2 good seasons left at most. Ellsbury's one career year shouldn't cause you to keep him over stud pitchers unless SBs are that heavily weighed.

4/4/2012 9:41:39 AM

would there be any interest in like a $5 or so league that would draft at around 8 or so tonight? Just like 8 or so teams? Didn't get in a money league this year, and I know it is very small stakes, but it would be something. Figure it is too late, and there won't be much interest, but I posted anyway.

4/4/2012 4:47:28 PM

so far, i prefer Yahoo's previous stat tracker to the current one

4/6/2012 3:15:53 PM

Pick up Peavy if your league if full of children or idiots.

<-----This guy did. 3 hit shutout tonight. Looks like he may be back to his old self.

4/24/2012 12:36:27 AM

I drafted him

4/24/2012 1:25:25 AM

hell yeah, Corey Hart now has 1B eligibility

5/29/2012 5:21:13 PM

So is Feliz out of the rotation once Oswalt joins the team?

I have Neftali and debating cutting him to get Oswalt

5/29/2012 5:27:02 PM

Supposedly he is out til the Allstar break, then might be back in the bullpen when he gets back.

I'm so glad I decided to be a homer and draft Jason Kipnis as my starting 2B, kid is awesome

5/29/2012 7:22:19 PM

I just traded Johan and Peavy for Kershaw

#winning

6/3/2012 11:54:17 PM

awesome trade based on ADP

but i dunno how it will work out for you as far as Wins, Quality Starts, Strikeouts depending on your league categories

6/4/2012 2:11:39 AM

and the fact that kershaw was reported tonight having shoulder soreness

6/4/2012 2:50:50 AM

my team is horrible. 4 players on the DL. I have no bench.

This season is a wash

6/4/2012 7:23:56 AM

I am still waiting for Adrian Gonzalez and Hanley to start hitting some. I also took a risk on Lawrie (no pop yet) and Mauer so those have not worked out well. Oh well, another season of disappointment.

6/4/2012 11:08:32 AM

Yahoo StatTracker acting up for anybody else? shows game stats but acts like I don't have a team, even though it says I'm signed in at the top

6/12/2012 8:01:14 PM

Was working for me when I checked earlier. It was in the iPad but it was working

6/12/2012 9:37:29 PM

its working for me now, but it wasnt working for about an hour on Chrome or Firefox

6/12/2012 9:49:50 PM

good start to the day

6/14/2012 7:08:25 PM

I started Shin-Soo Choo and Kirk Nieuwenhuis.

Both went 2/5 with 2 HRs. yay. My team still sucks.

6/14/2012 7:14:40 PM

^^dude whats with those extra stats

[Edited on June 14, 2012 at 9:41 PM. Reason : .]

6/14/2012 9:41:41 PM

OBP and extra base hits? regular 5x5 formats bore me

extra pitchings stats i have are losses and quality starts

6/14/2012 9:43:59 PM

Quality starts?

Holds, nigga. Holds.

6/14/2012 9:56:50 PM

you're right, we should all take fantasy baseball advice from you

6/14/2012 10:07:48 PM

got offered lincecum for dickey

i hate people

6/14/2012 10:10:39 PM

6/14/2012 10:12:55 PM

Pick the best player the rest of the way: Morse or Goldschmidt

6/14/2012 10:36:50 PM

morse

6/15/2012 12:39:30 AM

morse by a texas mile

6/17/2012 7:28:38 PM

in case anybody didn't know (like i didn't until today), Utley is back...homered his first MLB at bat this season on Wednesday and went 3/5 with a couple singles...didn't play today (Thursday)...still, good to see him back and being productive, if limited to start...I drafted him with the 183rd overall pick, hoping for that late season production

6/29/2012 1:30:37 AM

fuck, Votto out 3-4 weeks

7/16/2012 9:59:26 PM

^fuck yeah, Stanton and Longoria both back today

8/7/2012 8:12:21 PM

who should I drop when Votto comes back on Saturday:

- Harper
- Ichiro
- Reddick

I'm thinking Ichiro
