And I am Trading Pedro and Willis for Nomar and Vazquez.

 

If that happens, I will pick up Marquez for Lugo

[Guest LooneyTune]

I would definitely trade away Jason Giambi, even if he's a bench warmer. According to my Rotowire Fantasy Guide...

 

"The 2004 Season was a nightmare for Giambi as he batted just .208 with 12 HR and it wasn't so hot for his fantasy owners either. He's a horrendous defensive player and should spend as much time as possible at DH this season. You're taking a massive chance if you sign him; you could get 40 dingers, or you could get someone who'll spend months on the DL or who'll play himself out of town. Now one of the principal figures in the BALCO scandal, he may run out of town before he gets a chance to play himself out. Buyer beware."

 

Hopefully Dontrelle Willis has a better season, as last year he seemed to have a lost some of his fire, and would rather keep him than trade for Vazquez, who had a poor 2004.

 

Everyone else looks like a good pick, although if I were to pick a player from the Florida teams, it would be Carl Crawford from Tampa Bay to get some triples and stolen bases.

 

 

I haven't had my team draft in my #1 league yet, but I'll post it for criticsm and advice later on.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

If you've got Giambi on the bench, he could be a pleasant surprise. His value is down, so you won't get much trade value. If he falters, dump him for someone better on the waiver wire.

[Guest Rrrsh]

That was my thought on Giambi, he is my last Offenseive player, he has some upside.

 

I think that the Nomar-Vasquez for Pedro-Willis trade is pretty equal. But Lugo is my SS, so that upgrade makes it worth it.

Good lord, talk about high risk / high reward. All five of these guys could completely implode due to injury this year.

 

Interesting draft otherwise, though. Not too bad for a twelve teamer (though it's hard to really evaluate without knowing, round-by-round, what picks you made in the draft).

[Guest Rrrsh]

I drafted Lawton, Walker and Gonzo quite low, so I am prepared for that.

My league only has 7 other teams, so my lineup is much stronger than it would be for a 12 team league...

[Guest Rrrsh]

That is a sick sick Pitching staff.

 

Real Young offence tho.

[iggymcfly 0]

LooneyTune, I honestly can't imagine how you could ever lose to anyone on pitching with that staff. OMG. It's like all you could possibly hope for. Your lineup's a little weak for an 8 team league, but good lord the pitching.

 

If it's a straight up roto league, you should end up first in all the pitching categories, and if it's a head-to-head league, you just need one or two offensive categories you can cherry-pick and you're all set.

[EVIL~! alkeiper 0]

Eh, last year I had Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Johan Santana, Ben Sheets, and Oliver Perez in a SIXTEEN team league.

 

You guys sucked!

[Guest LooneyTune]

I've traded some stuff away...

 

 

I traded Foulke (CP) for Mark Mulder (SP).

 

In a move I'm not sure was too wise, I sent Renteria and Cordero for Jason Bay and Andy Pettitte. (Crosses fingers for some luck)

 

Also signed Danys Baez somewhere... I might've had a free spot or something, cause I can't remember who I had before him. Must've been someone worse.

 

The only thing I'm seriously questioning is drafting Troy Glaus, mainly because with him, I only have 2 3rd basemen and I'm not sure how he'll perform this season (or any season afterwards).

If anyone is interested in joining a Head to Head fantasy baseball league PM me with your email address. Im looking for 4-8 more players who will keep up with their teams so we can have a competitive league.

This league will DEFINITELY be active - we've got four definites (three are TSM), so I'm hoping for the fantasy baseball freaks on TSM to fill out the league.

Which Cordero? Chad and Francisco are both closers.

[Guest LooneyTune]

Chad (he's the only one I have... I mean had).

[Kahran Ramsus 0]

Just went in blind for my first draft of the season. Will try to do better later. Standard Yahoo 12 Team. Really concerned about RBIs and my middle IF is crap. Might try to pick up another pitcher, but not much is there.

Also, I have a question regarding who I should start. I have some flexibility due to Uribe, so should I play Roberts or Lugo? Or start both and bump Uribe?

Unfortunately, I will have to shore up the RP position. My autodraft blew its load with drafting hitters, while neglecting the RP position. Some teams have 3 closers on their team, while I got KC's closer and Todd Worrell. On the plus side, I should be able to get the first closer that comes available, considering everyone else in the league has at least two.

[Guest LooneyTune]

Not that I have any clue on wat to do, but maybe trading Beltre for a good closer would be a good idea, since you seem to have an abundance of third basemen for a small roster (20 men if I counted correctly).

 

Or trade Beltre/scrub for a great closer/reliever, then sign up a long-reliever or maybe a backup catcher/shortstop.

[Guest LooneyTune]

Here's another league lineup. Since I already have 3 teams, I decided to make 1 simply to see how well a team of not-many-stars could perform. I'll probably get killed in the league since I drafted a bunch of Rookies that might not even play this season, but oh well, this isn't a serious one if I get slaughtered...

8 team league

[Guest LooneyTune]

There's 1 lineup I wouldn't be confident in beating (when head-to-head of course).

[Cuban Linx 0]

A pair of teams, both 8 team Yahoo leagues and done by autodraft due to me missing both.

 

Team 1:

 

C- Victor Martinez

1B- Mark Teixeira

2B- Jose Vidro

3B- Scott Rolen

SS- Jimmy Rollins

OF- Vladimir Guerrero

OF- Bobby Abreu

OF- Miguel Cabrera

Util- Corey Patterson

Bench- Aaron Rowand

Bench- Paul Konerko

Bench- Orlando Cabrera

 

SP- Rich Harden

SP- AJ Burnett

RP- Francisco Rodriguez

RP- Francisco Cordero

P- Octavio Dotel

P- Guillermo Mota

P- Kelvim Escobar

Bench- Jeremy Bonderman

Bench- Zach Grienke

 

The league also has a very low 'minimum innings pitched' requirement, so i'll likely trade a starter or two and abuse it in similar veign to last years TSM Keeper League. I'm loving that outfield, and the infield isn't far behind either.

 

 

Team 2:

 

C- Javy Lopez

1B- Richie Sexson

2B- Jeff Kent

3B- Scott Rolen

SS- Jimmy Rollins

IF- Melvin Mora

LF- Moises Alou

CF- Carlos Beltran

RF- Miguel Cabrera

OF- Jason Bay

Util- Paul Konerko

Bench- Dave Roberts

Bench- Ken Griffey Jr.

 

SP- Randy Johnson

SP- Roger Clemens

RP- Billy Wagner

RP- Francisco Cordero

P- Octavio Dotel

P- Jason Isringhausen

P- BJ Ryan

P- Jeremy Bonderman

Bench- Jeremy Affeldt

Bench- Rodrigo Lopez

Bench- "Anglesault's Favorite" Jeff Weaver

 

After this league i've now had Scott Rolen on every fantasy team i've had.

[KingPK 0]

So my 12-team 5x5 Roto Yahoo league draft just ended, and here's what I came up with:

 

C- Johnny Estrada (ATL)

1B- Carlos Delgado (FLA)

2B- Marcus Giles (ATL)

3B- Juan Uribe (CWS)

SS- Kaz Matsui (NYM)

OF- Hideki Matsui (NYY)

OF- Johnny Damon (BOS)

OF- Jason Bay (PIT)

UTIL- David Ortiz (BOS)

BN- Morgan Ensberg (HOU)

BN- Todd Walker (CHI)

BN- Dimitri Young (DET)

BN- Coco Crisp (CLE)

 

SP- Johan Santana (MIN)

SP- Barry Zito (OAK)

RP- B.J. Ryan (BAL)

RP- Scot Shields (LAA)

P- Scott Elarton (CLE)

P- Joel Pinero (SEA)

P- Cliff Lee (CLE)

BN- Wade Miller (BOS)

 

Looking at my roster, my pitching staff looks a little on the weak side. My offense will put me near the top of almost every category, though.

[Precious Roy 0]

Here's my TSM Yahoo team:

 

c) Charles Johnson, Miguel Olivo

1b) Travis Hafner, Brad Wilkerson

2b) Tony Womack, Bill Mueller

SS) Nomar Garciaparra,

3b) Casey Blake, Corey Koskie, Bill Mueller

OF) Ichiro Suzuki, Juan Pierre, Garrett Anderson, Brad Wilkerson

 

SP) Randy Johnson, Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, Jeff Weaver, Kevin Brown

RP) Armando Benitez, Jason Isringhausen, Shingo Takatsu, Greg Aquino

 

My team has some issues and I'll be looking to deal before the season starts, but I assume we'll have a thread for that

[Guest LooneyTune]

Get rid of Johnson, ASAP. Just so I'm not confused, he's on the Rockies, right, and way past his prime? If so... unload him for anything.

[Lightning Flik 0]

LT, Johnson is Randy Johnson of the Yanks.

 

Even if he's past his prime, there's still very few pitchers that are as good as he is.

;; Dammit... Didn't see him. Bah, I need my coffee first thing in the morning before I start posting. Geezus.

 

Um, yeah. Trading him would be a good thing.
