I'd grab Storen just to ensure that I have 3 closers.Would you do the trade?

Storen isn't the closer. I'm not sure you have a large enough bench to roster a guy that may or may not get the gig this year. I'd pass on that deal but if you were going to make it I'd move Garza (of course I am an A's fan so I
Cahill). Jeter is going to get tons of playing time on the Yankees. He can suck all season and should still get more rbi's/runs than Asdrubal.

I'd rather gamble on JP. Lower floor. Higher ceiling. He's a gamble as he'll have less guaranteed playing time.

[/QUOTE]If you can really call it that. I spent a decade sober until a little less than a year ago. I've kicked heroin now 4 times since October. Gone through hell. Ate a few bites of soup tonight. First food since Friday afternoon. I don't know what it is. I'm down in the sun of the great southwestern USA. Finally slept a few hours today. My girl drove us down and now I'll probably have to rent a car to get back. Gonna go hit the Kia Vaporizer and try to get some appetite going.

Define worst. Philly fans are pretty awful but they at least show up and have some passion. Marlins fans - do they exist?
Outside college, and maybe football, I don't think Flordia supports any of their teams. I doubt 20% even know they have a NHL team.But I think boston fans are a bunch of tea bagging ##### bags.

This whole LAD/SF thing was the reason for this postWife and I once left a Cub/Sox game(at the Cell) because she/we felt physically threatened I'm sure this kind of thing happens at every ball park, but some are much worse than others.

you'd be wrong about Tampa then. I don't defend the Rays attendance but the Bolts are really popular here.

Fixed for you.Check the attendance figures. Attendance at the Vet was atrocious- often well under 2 million for their last decade or two there- and attendance at the new park was nothing special until they made the playoffs in 2007.
And I can tell you personally that they had very few fans make the trip to DC until after they became a playoff team. The Mets and Braves had far more fans for road games despite being further away.

I stated my disdain for Dodger fans in that team's thread. They are amongst the worst in that regard. High percent of scum (compared to other teams, not overall).
I was offered Papelbon for Teixeria. The owner admitted that I wouldn't accept the offer, but just wanted to start the negotiations. He has made available Josh Hamilton, Kendry Morales, Brian Wilson and Jonathan Papelbon (either Wilson and Papelbon but not both).
The rest of his team (frankly I think he is panicking a bit as his team is solid outside of OF and lacking SP #s):
C: Chris Ianetta
1B: Adrian Gonzalez
2B: Ian Kinsler
3B: Jonathan Herrera
SS: Elvis Andrus
OF: Ichiro, Luke Scott, Raul Ibanez
UTL: Michael Bourn, Jacoby Ellsbury
Bench: Casey McGehee
DL: Josh Hamilton, Kendrys Morales
SP: Clayton Kershaw, Jaime Garcia, CJ Wilson, Edinson Volquez, Alexi Ogando
RP: Brian Wilson, Koji Uehara, Jonathan Papelbon, Jose Valverde, Brian Fuentes, Ryan Madson, Frank Francisco
My team:
C: Soto
1B: Miggy
2B: Phillips
SS: Jeter
3B: Sandoval
OFF: Holliday, Abreu, Granderson
UTL: Teixeira, Morneau
P: Billingsley, Cahill, Edwin Jackson, Harang, Garza, Shields, Pavano (about to drop to activate Ubaldo), Britton
RP: Rivera, Joel Hanrahan, Kevin Gregg, Sean Burnett
Bench: Pedro Alvarez
DL: Jurrjens, Ubaldo
My initial thought was his Morales and Brian Wilson for my Teixeira and Kevin Gregg.

i know this is "ask fin" but you dont need another upper tier closer. hanahahananan is the next big thing. you have 2 top 5 closers. if you really want pitching offer him morneau for kershaw. if hes hesitant, offer him miggy or tex for kershaw and wilson or paps

I have Yadier Molina as my catcher in a 12 team league. Hank Conger is on my minor league farm team. Should I cut Molina and bring up Conger?
I realize Yadier is average at best for fantasy purposes, but he's a solid option who gets plenty of ABs.

You plan on rolling without a backup catcher? Short rosters?

Yeah rosters are a little tight. I don't have room for 2 catchers.'Finless said:

Sell or buy on Alex Gordon?
The average will obviously come down, but I think he's legit, so I say buy. I just wanted to get another opinion or two.

It goes either way. I'm a believer. If the price is right either way, you can buy or sell.

I want to start watching more baseball and using this to get back into the game I love. I like weekly h2h points leagues.
I joined a 4 keeper round you drafted him league. 12 teams
Start C,1,2,3,SS, 4 OF, 3U 6SP, 2 RP
Pitchers only get max 9 starts per week
Scoring 1 for singles, 2 for doubles, 4 triple, 5 HR, 1 for runs, RBI, -0.5 for K, 2 for SB
10 for win, -5 loss, 5 for save, -2BS, -1 ER, -1Hit, 1 for K I assume walks hurt as well 3 for IP
Where should I focus and not focus with these settings. And rank top 2 after Trout, Miggy, Goldschmidt
