Good mix of AL/NL teams although no real superstars but solid up and down. 2003 OBP: .369 2003 ERA: 3.40
the pinjockey Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Does that ERA take into account runs/IP or just the average of each pitcher's ERA?
razazteca Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Who wants to trade? I am looking for a 2B or a player with good OBP.
Bored Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Unless I have an injury in Spring Training I'm not going to actively pursue any trades until after the season starts. But if anyone wants to make me an offer be my guest.
Lightning Flik Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Posted March 3, 2004 League will be in locked down till Al gets Roger Clemens. That will be all.
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 I'd like to get better at second, but really there aren't a lot of choices this year.
Lightning Flik Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Posted March 3, 2004 (edited) Now that we've gotten our problem with Clemens settled, the league is unlocked. Edit: Just thought of something, but should I increase the pitching roster by one? Edited March 3, 2004 by Lightning Flik
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 eh, generally changing rosters after the draft causes problems
Lightning Flik Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Posted March 3, 2004 (edited) Ok, scratch the previous thing I said. I'm just asking really, just because I'm generally curious if people want an extra pitching slot. Edited March 3, 2004 by Lightning Flik
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 A lot of us will cycle starters in and out, so it won't make a difference.
Lightning Flik Posted March 3, 2004 Author Report Posted March 3, 2004 (edited) A lot of us will cycle starters in and out, so it won't make a difference. *shrugs* Ok. Don't see what else I could improve on besides relief pitching. If anyone would like to send a relief pitcher my way, I might send you one of my eight to nine starters or however many I've got.

Lightning Flik Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Posted March 4, 2004 I'd like to adress that I was considering adding a 3rd P. There is only 2Ps there. So please realize this.
Lightning Flik Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Posted March 4, 2004 No need to add positions after the draft. It was in light of Tom's using it, and frankly the amount of people with Pitchers just doing squat that I asked about it. And the reason why I bring this up in here, is because I was told that I had 3 and had done so when everyone said no (in Al's thread, which needs to be pinned). I'm correcting that fact.
razazteca Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 WHY ME! Well the injury bug has spread to this baseball team as Preston Wilson now has a bum knee and a bad pinky finger There goes all of the RBIs.
Lightning Flik Posted March 4, 2004 Author Report Posted March 4, 2004 And to think Guerreros... I was actually thinking of making a trade for you, for him. I was going to give you two guys who could produce and hopefully get a relief guy and him from you. As well as probably do that Chacon for R. Ortiz. You lucked out apparently.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Whoever has Jerry Hairston should know he has a broken ring finger that will need surgery (happened when he stole 3rd in the first minor league game today vs the Marlins). Don't know how long hes out but from what I've heard its a 6-8 weeks thing which would mean hed be out most of April.
Styles Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 I know I was listening to game today. Great win by the O's. I'm so disapointed (as an O's fan) because he showed how good he could be with the leadoff hit and 2 consecutive stolen bases but he fractured his finger. I guess Brian Roberts has the job for now. Anyway, as for my fantasy team, I had Polanco as my starting 2nd anyway, and I dont want to drop Hairston because when he comes back I still have faith in him, so I'll wait until he's eligble for the DL.

Note to Self: Keep injury reports secret.... If you want to trade just send an offer and I shall consider it.
HarleyQuinn Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Sent you an offer Raz, feel free to barter
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 I decided to add Charles Johnson, with the brilliant idea that he can play at home, and he'll get benched on the road. Just another reason why I'll win the league, and the rest of you are toast.
Cuban Linx Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 If nothing else i'll win in steals, there's only one or two teams that should even be close to me. I'll probably suck at everything else, so i'm holding onto any little victory i can get.
HarleyQuinn Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Smart move Al, I was debating between taking Johnson(for the same reason as you) and Konerko and ended up choosing Konerko because he's bound for a good rebound year and if he starts hot, I could always shop him around.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 I was surprised to see Ryan Franklin still available the other day when I picked him up. I doubt he'll turn in another top 10 ERA performance like last year but his WHIP will be low and he should win 12 games at least. I have to many ? at most positions. Im safe in the OF and 1/2 of my RP but thats about it.
treble Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 I like my team. My SP could probably be better outside of Schmidt and Escobar, but I like my relievers.

Im safe in the OF and 1/2 of my RP but thats about it. I'm not surprised. A K rate of less than 4.5 per 9 innings, a mediocre K/BB rate, and being 31 (well, as of tomorrow) spells regression. Plus 34 HR in 212 IP (In SafeCo!) is a big red flag.

Plus 34 HR in 212 IP (In SafeCo!) is a big red flag. I looked at his splits. I saw the 34 HR (22 in Safeco) but Home Runs allowed isn't a stat and ERA/WHIP/Wins are ( 3.53/1.27/11). Plus, his stats were much better down the stretch, which is a good sign in most cases.
