Smart Marks Fantasy Baseball League?

Ok, I am all signed up and ready to go. I have preranked some players and am ready for the rest of the "chips" to fall where they may. Oh and the Oakland/Seattle series definately does count. That is a rivalry involving my favorite team, the Oakland Athletics. It is a key series, for momentum purposes and could set a tone for one of the teams if they can get an opening series sweep. I am eager to see Jermaine Dye fully recovered from the broken fibula/tibula/whatever. He said he finally feels able to put all the pressure on it, and has had a pretty good spring training so far.......

The A's have been notorius slow starters. Let's see if this year is the same or things change.

Well the Tokyo series has been canceled so that isn't going to be a factor any more. I haven't heard when or where the makeup games will be held though.

We should have the draft this weekend, I think. That gives us a week for trades and such before the season starts.

Well, looks like Tom's having the draft tomorrow. Check the team page.

Too late to sign up ?

Guest DrTom

Yup. League's full, and the draft is going down tomorrow.

What time tonight(pacific time) is the draft? I checked, and it must be at least an hour from now, since the draft order hasn't been selected yet.

Guest Vern Gagne

Still no draft? I just checked 5 minutes ago.

I changed the draft status to "Ready" last night. A message informed it would happen sometime between whenever I turned it on last night and midnight Saturday night. The best thing I can tell you is to check back and see if your team has been drafted. I didn't specify an order, so it should have been random.

Usually everyone will get an e-mail when the league has been drafted.

The league has been drafted. This thread is going to be pinned, at least until the baseball season kicks off.

 

As for early trade talks, I'd be willing to move a lot of guys on my team. In particular, I have 2 DHs: Ellis Burks and Ed-GAH~! Since that hurts my position flexibility, I'd like to move one of them.

Id like a Relief Pitcher (Closer)..

 

Im quite happy with my team, probably the best OF combo ( Bonds, Abreu,A.

Jones, and Dunn)

Guest Kingpk
Posted

Ugh, I should have ranked some pitchers higher. I have a pretty deep OF (Hunter, Ramirez, Matt Lawton, among others) so I'm willing to deal for some good SP.

 

Oh and I have Stewart, Scott. I'll be racking up some fly stats, BOOYAH!!

 

It always seems every year I get Mike Mussina and Ryan Dempster.

I like my pitching.

 

Marvin I might be willing to make a trade I've got 4 potential closers on my team.

Guest Kingpk

I think we should say what team we are, so there's no confusion. I'll keep a list:

 

DrTom - Darkside Dominators

Kingpk - Mass Cripplers

Marvin - The Shorebirds

Verne - Stillwater Stats

bravesfan - Island Buzzsaws

cartman - Pawtucket Redsox

alkeiper - Pocono Poison

Hartfan - Calgary Hitmen

NoCalMike - Diamond in the Rough

Rob Van Dam - The Whole Dam Team

Canadian Chris - The Perfect Team

Who are: Daegu Golden Lions, A-Team and Wraiths?

 

I'll edit this when I know.

Just for the heck of it, I'm gonna scroll down and reveal my team one by one, and provide commentary.....

 

C- Mike Piazza. Boo-yah.

1B- Jeremy Giambi. Good. He'll FINALLY get playing time in Boston, rack up 30 HRs with a .400 OBP, and I can shift him to the OF if I need.

2B- Fernando Vina- Can't complain, since I like Vina and the 2b crop is weak. Still, he's on the decline, and won't hit for power. Run totals should be good at least.

3B- Edgardo Alfonso- Once again, its all about the OBP. And hitting in front of Bonds.

SS- Alex Gonzalez- Ugh. I should find waiver wire talent better.

OF- Vladimir Guerrero- YES!! YES!! YES!! 30/30, entering his prime.

OF- Jim Edmonds. Assuming he stays healthy, another great player.

OF- Hideki Matsui- I was hoping no one else saw him sitting low in the draft order.

IF- Hank Blalock- Hoping the George Brett comparisons hold up.

Util- Mike Lieberthal. Good flip him for a team that needs a catcher.

Res.- Charles Johnson. See above. And he hits in Colorado!

Res.- Mark McLemore. LF eligible only. That hurts.

Res.- Corey Patterson. Could be a boom for my steal totals.

Res.- Willie Harris- Bleh. There's better hitters on waivers.

 

SP- Kerry Wood. Poised for a breakout season.

SP- Randy Wolf. One of the best pitchers in the second half last year.

RP- Joel Pineiro. Good.

RP- Keith Foulke. He's gonna surprise people.

P- Wade Miller. Good.

P- Jose Contreras. Good be good, or ugly.

P- Vicente Padilla. Good.

Bench- Brandon Duckworth. Bad year last year, but I'm in love with his K/9 rate.

Bench- Paul Shuey. I have no use for middle relievers.

Bench- Chan Ho Park- Here's hoping for a turnaround.

 

Excellent draft. I'm looking forward to the season.

Im willing to trade anyone of my OF other than Bonds and Abreu (Jones, Dunn, Gibbons or any of the bench guys that I have), Phil Nevin (quality 3B if he's healthy..question marks, but I have Tony Batista so I can part with him if I need to..)..Im probably not going to trade any of my pitching except Yan in return for a closer if needed, I sort of neglected my pitching staff (Lopez and Vazquez are nice, but then I dont have much else..)

Nevin's done for the year.

Is he now..?

 

Shows how much attention I pay to the San Diego padres during ST.

 

Well..I shoulda not drafted him..in the 5th round..argh..

Guest bravesfan

IMO, my rotation is the best in the league (RJ, Oswalt, Lowe, Millwood and Washburn.).

 

Thing is, my infield (with the exception of Chavez at the hot corner) sucks the meat missile. If you're able to help me out there, I'll be flexible with the guys on that rotation.

 

 

And yes, Nevin is done for the year. Another reminder to owners, is that Trevor Hoffman is shut down until early August, and Eric Milton won't be back until after the All-Star Break.

 

I might be willing to part with Derek Jeter for a decent starting pitcher

 

You make the proposal.

Stupidity! I got rid of Looper, who aparently is the Marlins closer. Last year I had Nunez and I thought he was their closer this year, argh.

I have Nomar, Damon, and Shea. I'm a fucking huge Boston Red Sox fan, so obviously I'm happy. I get Schilling again, just like last year.

 

That's all I care. Everyone else on my team can eat dick.

Perfect Team is me. Let's see who I have...

 

C Rodriguez, Ivan (C-Fla)

1B Wilkerson, Brad (1B-Mtl)

2B Alomar, Roberto (2B-NYM)

3B Rolen, Scott (3B-StL)

SS Boone, Aaron (3B, SS-Cin)

OF Berkman, Lance (CF, LF-Hou)

OF Suzuki, Ichiro (RF-Sea)

OF Lee, Carlos (LF-CWS)

IF Furcal, Rafael (SS-Atl)

Util Kendall, Jason (C-Pit)

Bench Hudson, Orlando (2B-Tor)

Bench Kearns, Austin (RF-Cin)

Bench Ramirez, Aramis (3B-Pit)

Bench Pena, Carlos (1B-Det)

 

SP Colon, Bartolo (SP-CWS)

SP Prior, Mark (SP-ChC)

RP Smoltz, John (RP-Atl)

RP Hoffman, Trevor (RP-SD) (Out until mid-August? Well, crap.)

P Hampton, Mike (SP-Atl)

P Beckett, Josh (SP-Fla)

P Hernandez, Roberto (RP-Atl)

Bench Benson, Kris (SP-Pit)

Bench Peavy, Jake (SP-SD)

Bench Williamson, Scott (RP-Cin)

 

Well, looks like my guys run either really hot (Ichico, Berkman, Prior, Colon, Smoltz, Rolen) or really bad (Wilkerson, Pena, Hernandez, Hoffman). Not much in between. I like my team, though...just need some more relief pitching. Any offers?

C-AJ Pierzynski-a pretty soft hitter. a weak position so no complaints.

1B-Todd Helton- :)

2B-Junior Spivey-had a breakout season last year. hopefully he keeps it up.

SS-Rich Aurillia-he's on both my teams. I'm hoping for a return to 2001 form.

3B-Jose Valentin-a productive hitter

OF-Eli Marrero-nice backup and occasional starter

OF-Mark Kotsay-good...but not great

OF-JD Drew-potential, needs to bounce back from down year

IF-Paul Konerko-No complaints. I like my 1st Basemen

Util-Jose Hernandez-Strikes Out alot, but he's a solid hitter and will improve in Colorado.

Bench-Randa, Rivas,Lopez, Crawford, Molina-nothing great. Rivas and Crawford have bright futures.

 

SP-Mark Mulder

SP-Matt Morris

SP-Freddy Garcia

SP-Mark Buerhle

RP-Mariano Rivera

RP-Byung-Hyun Kim

RP-Mike Williams

 

I like all these pitchers if they stay healthy.

 

Alfonseca is shaky, and Veres is a good setup man...doesn't do alot of good in fantasy baseball.
