Baseball Guys (1 Viewer)

[Carl Spackler]

So I joined a Fantasy baseball league with my homeys. I'm not into baseball nearly as much as football, in fact I probably only heard of 75% of the guys I drafted. I used a cheatsheet that Mr.Pickles put up a link to.

How does this team look, (I know it sucks), but any input on starting lineups etc? I have absolutely zero time to spend on this, but also know how it is to have stagnant owners and don't want to do that for the good of the league. Any input would be greatly appreciated.....

I drafted out of the 13th slot out of 14 teams.

Scoring is a typical 5 X 5 league.

My Team:

C Johnny Estrada, Mil C

1B Ryan Howard, Phi 1B

2B Ian Kinsler, Tex 2B

3B Miguel Cabrera, Fla 3B

SS Michael Young, Tex SS

OF Jermaine Dye, CWS OF

OF Rocco Baldelli, TB OF

OF Magglio Ordonez, Det OF

UTIL Melvin Mora, Bal 3B

Bench Adam LaRoche, Pit 1B

Bench Tadahito Iguchi, CWS 2B

Bench Yuniesky Betancourt, Sea SS

Bench Xavier Nady, Pit 1B, OF

Bench Josh Bard, SD C

You drafted 13th and got Howard then Cabrera?!?!?!?

Starting pitching is going to be a problem. Doesn't look like you have any speed either.

Laroche > Mora.

Why does Tankersly have a "*" by his name?

Just at quick glance, I'd try to move an OF and a RP (not named FRod) for another solid starter if you can.

What SPs are on your waiver wire right now? I'd also sort SB's and see what is out there.

What he said about your pitching.

For a first timer, wow you did a hell of a job!

I mean you have everything but SB and SP, but with the lineup u have you can easily swap a closer like, cordero for a starter like Beckett, or HArang if need be.

SB will be easy to acquire in middle of the season dont worry.

PS NAdy is garbage, drop him or betancourt, if any of these guys are available:

BJ Upton (steals) J Guillen, B Crosby (sleeper)

I think Tankersly is on the 15 day DL.Here are a few of the Waiver Wire SP:Aaron Cook, Col SP Tim Wakefield, Bos SP Jeff Francis, Col SP Esteban Loaiza, Oak SP Nate Robertson, Det SP Joe Blanton, Oak SP Matt Morris, SF SP Clay Hensley, SD SP Paul Maholm, Pit SP Livan Hernandez, Ari SP Jason Marquis, ChC SP Eric Milton, Cin SP Jake Westbrook, Cle SP Carlos Silva, Min SP Horacio Ramirez, Sea SP Ted Lilly, ChC SP Odalis Perez, KC SP Mark Redman, Atl SP Woody Williams, Hou SP Miguel Batista, Sea SP Randy Wolf, LAD SP Ricky Nolasco, Fla SP Mike O'Connor*, Was SP Paul Byrd, Cle SP Adam Eaton, Phi SP Jamie Moyer, Phi SP Claudio Vargas, Mil SP Mike Maroth, Det SP Byung-Hyun Kim, Col SP Jae Seo, TB SP Thanks for the help. I'll also check into dealing for a SP as well as picking up some SB guys.

Thanks!Upton is available, I know I'm first on the waiver wire, but not sure when that opens.

I'd drop 2 hitters, probably Bentancourt and Bard, for two SPs. I'd narrow that down to Hensley, Francis, Westbrook, Batista and Wolf. Some upside guys are Seo (good spring), Ramirez (never healthy), and Morris/Loazia (see Ramirez). The rest are meh to me.

Pick up Nate Robertson and put Tankersly on the DL if he is out for 15 days...Robertson will likely have better overall numbers than Suppan this year.

BTW...if anyone wants in a $50 ESPN league that drafts tomorrow night, email tommygnrd@yahoo.com he'll send you an invite...
