Your lineup looks very good for a 14 team league. I'm not quite sure how you came up with all of those guys. That would be pretty good for a 12 team league, or even a 10 team with some slight modifications. The pitching isn't as solid, but that is to be expected with the strength of your lineup. If you could add another solid starter somehow, that would be really good.

agreed.

I really am clueless how you get that team in a 14 team draft. lol. thats amazing.

 

pitching is mediocre, not great, not bad but you still got 2 solid closers, and an ace prolly (felix).

great team if it really is a 14 team league.

Haha, it really is a 14 team league. Some guy on myspace needed an extra guy so I joined the league. I was really suprised at how bad some of the people in the league were. I think the key to my pitching staff is Oliver Perez. If he can return to his 2004 form, I can't be touched, barring injuries to my offense. My main focus was getting hitting first because lately there hasn't been consistent pitching so all of the guys are basically wild cards to have a Cy Young season.

 

Edit: I dropped Olivo and Craig Wilson and picked up Josh Towers and Joe Blanton today. I'm now short one offense player, but there are guys out there just as good as Olivo or Wilson.

I'm in the process of trying to commit highway robbery. One of my targets has Utley, Carlos Lee, and Bonds. The other has Tejada, Beltran, and Dunn. I'd love to find a way to get 2 out of 3 from one of these guys.

go for it, shouldnt be hard to pull off getting bonds but tejada and beltran they might want quite a bit

Look at this beast of a team

 

C : B. Molina, B. McCan

1b : T. Helton, M. Teixera

2b : M. Giles, F. Lopez

3b : N. Garciapara, A. Ramirez

SS : J. Reyes, C. Barmes

OF : J. Bay, C. Crawford, V. Wells, B. Bonds, M. Holliday, Ichiro Suzuki, H. Matsui

UTIL : R. Howard, J. Thome

 

SP : J. Peavy, R. Harden, B. Webb, B. Myers, Felix Hernadez

RP : E. Gurado, BJ Ryan, J. Valverde, B. Jenks

 

IS that not a beast of a team?

7 teams, one guy was drafting all pitchers. And most of the teams didnt really know exactly what they were doing. Got alot of steals.

Hows this for a steal

 

Peavy in the 10th round.

Harden 14th

King felix in the 20th

Myers in the 21st round

Webb in the 23rd round

 

I made a pitching staff like that, in those kind of rounds

Oh yeah, M. Holliday in the 24th round.

Barry bonds in the 13trh round

Ichiro in the fourth round

Thome in the 19th round

 

What a draft?

Or no?

eh not bad.

nothing special happened i dont see...

 

pat burrel > willy taveras

Cantu = chavez? duno. maybe maybe not.

oh.. in that case...

good deal

I did an auction league for the first time with 9 other guys who had never done it before. It turns out there was a ton of overpaying in the early rounds, so I cleaned up pretty well at the end. 5 x 5 league

 

Eric Chavez $25

Ryan Freel $6

Eric Chavez $16

Miguel Tejada $32

Vladamir Guerrero $41

Armando Benetiz $4

Francisco Lariano $4

I think I did pretty well. I was not aware of Sheets' injury however.

Bunch of n00bs in your league im guessing

yeah, and the worst thing about that was

i was actually offered

d. wright, cabera, jim edmons, and jeff suppan for pujols.

I made a counter offer with konerko instead of edmonds and suppan, and he even accepted.

It was great.

id rather have edmonds unless you needed the first basemen

I'd rather have konerko, i just dont think edmonds is that good anymore, and isnt he injury-prone? Not one of my fav. players.

I sorda needed the 1b, i had thome on the bench, but heh, who knows what he'll do.

Konerko is way too inconsistant. He goes into slumps and when he goes into them, they are huuuuuuge and could kill you fantasywise. I always stay away from Konerko.

good point, good point, but with the other deal id have no first basemen other then thome, and id have to give up 3 players to the waivers instead of 2

Well if that's the case, that's a better trade.

I'd like to get some opinons here on my situation. I am in 2 leagues which are drafting next Sunday & Monday. I have the first pick in one leagues and planned on taking Arod. I just found out that through a random drawing that I got the first pick in the other league too.

 

So my question is should I take Arod in both leagues, or should I try to diversify my teams a bit. Oh yeah, one more factor is that one league is for higher stakes than the other.

take a-rod in both

if he gets injured ur screwed.

but you cant not pick him as your first pic, best player. Do it!

WHat you guys think??

i need some opinions, thanks

Jimbo, your team looks pretty solid. I'd keep an eye out for a productive outfielder at some point though. Griffey is probably going to get hurt at some point, and Maggs might too. Also, it might be advantageous to move Tracy to 3B once he gains eligibility (especially if Beltre tanks again), so you might need an extra OF.

Oswalt + Peavy + Hernandez, that had to take an investment. Good pitching, agree w/ ZS on the hitting side. Mauer (I think?), Pujols, and Bay are a great base, but some ?s among the others.
