Yes sir...the time has come for fantasy baseball. Spring is rapidly approaching and the season is almost at hand. You know what what means...its time for a 3-peat.

With two successful seasons under our respective belts, I will look forward to seeing many familiar faces return. The following posters will be guaransheed a spot in the league because of their prior efforts in past leagues:

Fix
FairPole
Jefe
Saadmon
Lefty
Sonny (if available)
2nd II gringo (if available)

In addition to these posters, there will be guaransheed spots for 14-K and trojan man from last years league. This means there are 3-5 slots open depending on Sonny and 2nd.

For the time being I am going to import the settings from the leagues we have done the past couple of years. If you played in those leagues you are expected to understand the scope of those settings. I will get a vote going later in this thread, or I will set a poll on another thread, to determine which scoring categories should be added/deleted and which settings should be modified. EVERYTHING will be considered and determined by the league, so let your opinions be heard people. We will discuss drafting dates in the future so that everyone will be able to be present for the draft.

For new managers who want in, just PM me and you will be dealt with on a first come, first serve basis. We are looking for managers who WILL STAY ON TOP OF THEIR TEAM. Active participation is essential to maintaining a competitive league. This means you should regularly check your lineups EVEN IF you aren't doing so well. You should also possess a decent understanding of baseball and the talent around the MLB.

Last years league was very competitive. A few newcomers to fantasy baseball, Raesaad for example, performed very well and gained a lot of steam as the year went on. The absences of two outstanding managers from the 2006 league (Sonny, 2nd) were unfortunate, but there was still a high level of managing at the top. Despite a small cheating scandal in which managers were in collusion with one another, the regular season was great. There were many classic showdowns which were made or broken on the last at bats on Sunday night.

The playoffs featured battles of the offensive juggernauts in Titletown, FairPole and Jefe against the dynamic balanced attacks of Saad, 14-K and yours truly. After receiving byes in the first week of the playoffs, 14-K and I got to watch Jefe knock off Saad and Polish knock off Titletown. I matched up with Jefe and used managing savvy and a versatile mix of pitching and small ball to knock him off in the semi-finals. The other semi-final saw the underdog, Polish Power (FairPole) knock off the favorite 14-K in an incredible display of brute power. Polish had an offensive which looked damn near unstoppable.

The two week finals finish was a classic. Yours truly looking to repeat and FairPole looking to snatch his first fantasy baseball championship. A week and a half of back and forth action commenced and the match up was deadlocked after a week. In the second week things changed. My blend of power, small-ball, speed and pitching took over and overwhelmed the powerful bats of FairPole. El gringo loco would triumph to win his second Fantasy Baseball championship in two years, a feat only equaled by Sonny's two Fantasy Football championships in two years.

This year we hope to get the same kind of competitive spirit flowing. All posters who wish to manage a squad in our yahoo league should get at me. It is a free league and it is very addicitng...ask Raesaad. To get in PM me and I'll gladly answer any questions. Peace to ya.

I'm so excited......I just can't hide it.......I'm about to lose control and I think I like it!

Whats worse is not only did I type that but I was singing it out loud in my office here at work while I was typing it.....:lol1:

PM's sent with league info. Everyone make sure you check out the league settings and write down any concerns you have. The draft date is TENTATIVE and can be changed to fit conflicting schedules.

do we know if air keng is a baseball fan? i thought he did a great job with the football this past season, maybe hold a spot for him...

yeah but look at the basketball season. there is history of inconsistency there...especially considering baseball is pretty much an every day thing like basketball.

Good to see you in for another season bud.

I'm in sweet...thanks...and lemmie start some early pre game shit talk..hope the match ups dont change so i can whoop Raes ass first....hahahaha

I'm in and I made a little prediction.

Sonny and Gringo are the men to beat.

Rae and Fix are next in the pecking order, and I'm going to throw gringo's bud 14k into that group too.

Fair Pole and jefe, are solid but a half step behind.

Gomez and the Poet man still have to prove they can win in this competitive environment.

Air Kang is a wild card. He could be a serious contender. Or he could crash and burn.

One last thing. I must be present for the draft. I have never finished lower than 1st in BS leagues where I was present from the first round on.

Good luck everyone...

las season i got beaten cause gringo sat alll his pitchers :nonono:

Well it's your responsibilty.....make sure your ass is there. I'll give you Karma if you are.....:D

If the draft is on a Saturday I can probably make it. Preferably not during March Madness though. And I'm maxxed out on karma. How about 50k instead? :D

HOUSTON ASTROS

YOUR WORLD SERIES CHAMPIONS.......

If the draft is on a Saturday I can probably make it.

A Friday night draft would probably be ok too.

A Friday night draft would probably be ok too.

I prefer Sun afternoons but I'll make it no matter when it is.....It's important.

The teams to beat in this league are Myself (2 time champ), 14-K (2 time semifinalist and reg season #1 or #2) and Polish (2007 2nd place).

Fix finished dead last in baseball last year, so he has something to prove (although he finished 2nd in 2006). I expect a bounce back year.

Raesaad is a wild card. He gained a lot of steam as the year went on and proved to be a tough opponent. Sonny is a wild card. His sub-par finish in the 2006 league doesn't reflect his fantasy managing ability and his absence from the 2007 league leaves a lot to be desired.

Jefe is also a wild card. He is hard to beat when he drafts his own team.

Rose, trojan man, and KB all have something to prove.

I am still working on getting the final managers for the league. We should have 10 by tomorrow. I want 12...then we can start talking about when to draft.

I have nothing to prove.....Fuck yall!!!

In my defense.....I had a horrible draft and didn't even know how the scoring worked when I drafted. I am defintely going to be one to beat this year.....I can't wait to draft I alreay have the top 5 players at each position I want to take lined up and I'm ready to go. I mean barring any crazy spring injuries or anything that is.......

Adam Dunn, my #1 pick....followed by Cano..

Adam Dunn, my #1 pick....followed by Cano..

:lol1: No offense but that wouldn't be a good way to start the draft. Dunn will still be around in the 4th round or later......Cano will probably get drafted high tho but I can think of a couple of other 2nd basemen I'll take before him.

I had to have made the waiver pick up of the year last year with Ryan Braun......I can't believe the numbers he put up in only 4 months. I wonder if he'll have a sophmore slump......

Adam Dunn, my #1 pick....followed by Cano..
ah, but i want Dunn Cincy Reds are my team...so i want all their players..lol...just kidden, not all....

i have him ranked 2nd in my predraft behind pujols..after the football season this year..i find it hard 2believe the hype as each year changes..lol..no one thought Adrian Peterson would do what he did...and surprises out of most plus baseball is so iffy each year anyway

You had 1st pick!!!

Braun was a great add though. That Hanley trade worked out well for ya too.

I know but I completely fell apart after like the 3rd round. I got lucky as hell with Ordonez. I seriously had no idea how the scoring or league worked when we drafted. I caught on fast and made many moves to stay competetive......This year I'm going to be stacked from jump if all goes as planned.

It's important to get a good strategy going. I had a shit pick but I got my boy Chase Utley and built a dynasty around him.

This year I have something nasty planned for all of you. I don't know if I'll lose a single week.

Ridiculous. I finished 4th or 5th out of 12 teams in 2006 after missing the first 4 or 5 rounds of the draft due to computer malfunction. I should have played last year but I thought I needed to limit my computer time. As it turned out I couldn't stay. I joined 2 leagues (one roto and one head to head) and won them both. Now I am going to have to kick your ass after this egregious slight to my fantasy abilities...

5 out of 12 is good for having computer malfunctions. Good for you.

That's what I said, you missed last year and had a sub-par finish before. Nice win in the other leagues, but you aren't playing with heavy hitters like myself and 14-K.

Now I am going to have to kick your ass after this egregious slight to my fantasy abilities...

His sub-par finish in the 2006 league doesn't reflect his fantasy managing ability

You must not have seen that. I know you are capable of high level fantasy play, but baseball is my forte....in other words...you ain't kicking anything.:sombrero: :dance:

lol, get over yourself gringo...

Nobody is arguing here bubby...I'm just keeping things really real on this slow fucking friday night...:(

I took a look at the settings and they look good. I would like to recommend one modification though, well 2 actually... I am not a big fan of the CG and SHO categories. I just think that they are far too irregular to deserve an entire point each. One complete game shutout has the power to completely change the balance of power on a weekly competition. Let's face it with today's heavy emphasis on pitch counts and relief pitching pitchers rarely get more than one or two per year. I just don't think such a fluky stat should wield so much power. That's just my opinion....

You know I see what you're saying there. Those stats are a measure to balance out the hitting and pitching categories. If we took those cats out there would be a VERY heavy focus on hitting categories.

One thing that I wanted to propose anyway, maybe a counterbalance here, is replacing "CG" with "losses". A loss category would make everyone step up their strategy on pitching as one could no longer just start a lot of average pitchers and overpower their opponent with wins, K's, saves, and possibly CG/SHO.

I think the shut out category SHOULD stay for sure because if your pitcher throws a shut out it is amazing and should be rewarded. The CG is a bit less impressive and could totally be done away with in my opinion.

So to add to your suggestion, I propose:

Add - Losses

Subtract - CG

What do ya think league? I'll also ask 14-K and Trojan Man about this...

Big if you ask me...I think they should be worth 2 points..CG & SHO's are rare these days playa..

I think we should make it so you can have 2 guys on the DL. One guy really sucks when you have 3 or 4 guys injured at the same time. 2 guys is a better compromise, anyone agree?

Let's do that instead. I'd much rather add loses. Becuase there are reprecussions to picking up guys and spot starting them.

Okay so far we have two points to come back to and vote on:

Add/Keep/Drop - (A)Losses, (D)CG, (D)SHO, (D)Singles...

Add - One DL spot making a total of 2 DL spots for injured players...

I'd like to get rid of singles and sho but keep CG......thats my take. losses sounds fine.

i'm game for whatever..my first year..cant complain yet.....

I'd like to get rid of singles and sho but keep CG......thats my take. losses sounds fine.

Why would you reward CG's (more common and less difficult to obtain) over SHO? I'm curious.

I'll add taking away singles to the list.

Why would you reward CG's (more common and less difficult to obtain) over SHO? I'm curious.

Dunno. I just know getting a CG SHO can make someone lose 2 categories rather quickly.

Dunno. I just know getting a CG SHO can make someone lose 2 categories rather quickly.

So doesn't it make more sense to do away with CGs before SHO?

So doesn't it make more sense to do away with CGs before SHO?
yuuup...i think shutouts should b rewarded pretty high...along with triples...triples are harder than home runs ta get...and a...u know b4 i open my mouth i better go look at the setup more and better

I think adding losses is a good idea even though I was guilty of adding pitcher after pitcher to build stats. This may help take that angle away or atleast keep it more honest...

Why would you reward CG's (more common and less difficult to obtain) over SHO? I'm curious.

I'll add taking away singles to the list.
I reward it because its not too common in the game anymore..very few pitch ever make it through five let along a CG..

I say keep both CG & SHO and drop singles...

Dunno. I just know getting a CG SHO can make someone lose 2 categories rather quickly.
That's big if someone's pitcher actually pull it off..reward that shit..

I'm happy however.....just can't wait to play.

Okay so far we have two points to come back to and vote on:

Add/Keep/Drop - (A)Losses, (D)CG, (D)SHO, (D)Singles...

Add - One DL spot making a total of 2 DL spots for injured players...

my votes:

Losses - Add
SHO - Keep
CG - Drop
Singles - Drop

That would leave us with:

R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, TB, AVG (8 hitting categorieas)

SB (1 baserunning category)

W, L, SHO, SV, ER, K, ERA, WHIP (8 pitching categories)

my votes:

Losses - Add
SHO - Keep
CG - Drop
Singles - Drop

That would leave us with:

R, H, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, TB, AVG (8 hitting categorieas)

SB (1 baserunning category)

W, L, SHO, SV, ER, K, ERA, WHIP (8 pitching categories)

I like this.....

I'll get an official poll going on these categories once we have every manager in place.

It's tentative. We all have to decide whether the current time, listed on the home page, is no good. I can change it, but the draft times are being taken so we'll have to act quickly.

Saturday March 22nd 6:00 EST

This is the time I think would work best.

Opening day is March 25th in Tokyo, Japan so we will have seen all of Spring training and know who is healthy headinhg into the season. I do a lot of volunteer work on Saturday, but I am usually free by 5:15.

I'd like to recommend this date and time if it works for everyone else...

I hope this works with everybody, it shouldn't ruin your Saturday night plans and it's late enough so that everyone can get back from work on time to do it.

I'll probably be home anyway.....As long as Boxing is on. Fuck that I'll be there no matter what. I can't miss the draft in this league.

Looks like I'll have to do pre-draft rankings because I can't make that time.

Still looking for one more. We have a strong group of people going right now. Fuckface 2nd II None has been ducking me for the final spot. Kayjay didn't sound like he was a fan of baseball.

Maybe explosivo...

Looks like I'll have to do pre-draft rankings because I can't make that time.

the fuck are you doing at 7:30 on a saturday?

hey how bout the user...MyMansAStud...lol....she b good..lol..

the fuck are you doing at 7:30 on a saturday?

7:30 EST= 4:30 pacific. I'll probably still be at work.

The league is full. The list of managers is as follows:

Big Dick Cheney (oldgringo) - 2006 & 07 participant

kate hudson (The Fix) - 2006 & 07 participant

ROSEWOOD ST BERNARDS (ROSEWOOD) - New participant

RAES RAYS (RAESAAD) - 2007 participant

Polish (TheFairPole) - 2006 & 07 participant

A little index so that everyone knows each other...

Next matter of business is the draft time. If you CAN MAKE THE DRAFT AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW please post something expressing that.

**the current draft time is Saturday, March 22 7:30 pm EST**

If you CANNOT make that time, please post a time which would work better for you (Sunday the 23rd maybe?)

We need to get this solved before every decent time is taken.

I'm flexible.....I'll make it Sat or Sun. I'd quit my fucking job before I miss this......j/k but anyway you'll hard to get motherfuckers figure it out and let me know.

I'd rather have sunday myself because I know I'll be in town for it then. Saturdays I can't guarantee...

The draft date has been changed again because it seems like a Sunday would work best for everyone.

The new draft time is Sunday, March 16 at 4:00 pm EST. You folks on the west coast have no excuses not to be there. I feel like everyone should be able to make that time. That gives us enough time to see how people are progressing and gives us time to trade/make waiver moves before the season starts.

That gives us enough time to see how people are progressing and gives us time to trade/make waiver moves before the season starts.

i work sundays until 7 eastern.... i liked the saturday better. if you make me miss this, i will hunt you down and shit on your face.

im good any weekday after 5 eastern and weekends after 7 eastern.

who in the fuck works sunday?

this is my problem. not enough people are voicing their opinions about this. i know 14-K/Uncle Jeffay can do this whenever.

you can do sat not sun.

lefty cannot do sat.

polish may be able to do sat, but sunday is more likely.

jefe is MIA.

explosivo can do it whenever i guess.

saad can do it sat or sun.

rosewood hasn't said when he can or cannot draft.

treez hasn't voiced an opinion.

sonny can do saturday, i don't know about sunday.

i can draft whenever.

i need some input here. i'll make a poll i guess.

tuition....all fucking tuition. its disgusting. im taking a year off after this.

Well kudos that you're doing it shitface. It builds character...It's better than having everything handed to you on a platter like that turd Bloodshed....Remember that fuckwad?

well i'm going to step on someones toes either way it happens. the saturday was fine with me. polish and lefty made it seem like they couldn't do that. fix can't do the sunday.

i have no input from kb, jefe or rose on this yet.

i liked that guy...hoe. he was an ass to alot of people, never me though.

Where are you going to school?

Bama...

Saturdays I am free after 5:30 PM.

Sundays I am free after 1:00 PM usually (unless I am doing something with the family).

It's all good. You can set the draft time to wherever. I'm not free on SUnday's until about 8 eastern. So fuck it. I'll just try and get my brother to draft for me or something. No big deal. If I don't like my team I'll just trade or pick up free agents. Gringo you are the man so don't worry about the times for everyone as long as most of the teams can make it it's cool.

Alright fellas...here's the deal.

Draft has been changed back to Saturday, March 22 at 7:45 PM EST. That should allow myself, 14-K, fix, sonny, saad, jeffay and explosivo to draft for sure.

KB, Rose, Jefe, and Polish I hope can make that time. Lefty I take it you aren't available until later times on Sat/Sun and those draft times are filled in Yahoo. Sorry bud.

Comments and responses.

I can't fucking wait. Hoepfully lefty can get his brother or someone he trusts to draft for him as he stated. At least he won't bitch out like some people because they happened to miss a draft they knew about for weeks ahead......

I should be okay. He drafted my basketball team this year.

Can we move the draft atleast to 5-5:30 eastern?

im not drafting ryan howard, vernon wells, frank thomas or roy halladay. they were the cancer that killed my team.


ive got a plan just for you.

it better be good. i have something nasty for you motherfuckers if i get a top 6 pick.

your problem was that you drafted him ahead of reyes. you would have done much better with reyes.

it better be good. i have something nasty for you motherfuckers if i get a top 6 pick.

i wouldnt mind that 12the pick, i like the 12th and 13th picks back to back. i hate drafting middle of rounds. ofcourse a top 4 pick is always nice.

Just think.....The only good draft picks I had last year were Pujols,Kazmir and Ordonez, Ichiro and Brandon Phillips. I built a team thru trades and free agency. This year...prepared to drfat and not fuck up and take an asshole like Aurilla in the 7th rd, you fuckers are going down. I can't wait to draft. I fee like I have a great strategy....I guess we'll see.

i want pick #5. i'm taking 4 outfielders in a row.

Liar.....You're a pitching hound. I see you taking Johan in the first or 2nd round depending on your draft position of course....:D

now that pitching is a little more important and unique i may just lean towards drafting an excellent pitching staff.

generally i don't grab pitchers unless they are bargains.

i took out CG and added losses. everyone agree?

and what do you fucks want to do about singles?

i took away singles and added another DL spot.

i took away singles and added another DL spot.

I have mixed feelings about the singles category. There is part of me that thinks we should keep them, but I can live without them...

WTF is another DL? like disabled list? thats not a stat categorey? anyway whatever.

i think we should keep them. i just took them away for now. we have had them the past two years and all seemed to go well...there were no unfair advantages which came from that category.

i'll have a vote on that category.

WTF is another DL? like disabled list? thats not a stat categorey? anyway whatever.

yeah...another place to stash an injured player.

we should have the same scoring as last season, i liked complete games.

I liked the scoring system from last year aside from only one DL spot. I do like the losses category though. It will change some of our strategies this year. Everything seems fine though. Its going to be a fun year guys...

right on. i noticed you didn't go with the name "polish power" this year...just polish. does that mean you aren't going to go after the big sticks this year? are you abandoning the power game?

right on. i noticed you didn't go with the name "polish power" this year...just polish. does that mean you aren't going to go after the big sticks this year? are you abandoning the power game?

You think I'm going to tell you my gameplan? You'll have to wait and see what I do. Its good to know that I got you all confused and worried already. Mind games Gringo, mind games... :kiss:

Gotta look to draft some singles hitters I guess. Maybe a Jeter or something. And tripples too. The leader (Granderson) had 23. It's gonna be an important stat becasue they don't come as often as singles or doubles.

I have a feeling that this is going to be our best baseball season yet. Here's why:

- The return of Sonny and explosivo
- 5 returning playoff managers
- Rejuvenated ficks
- Second year lefty, trojan and saadmon
- Several dangerous newcomers like KB and Rose
- 12 seemingly active managers

It's going to be a competitive field this year boys. I think this is really going to come down to who makes 1 or 2 key additions before the playoffs.

Draft in less than a week boys. Get your shit straight and be there.

I drafted yesterday in Badbloods league. I had probably the worst spot you can get 6th. let me try and remember....I got

Russel Martin
Albert Pujols
R. Cano
J.J. Hardy
R. Zimmerman
Granderson
Hawpe
Juan Pierre
Jacob Ellsbury
Josh Willingham
Mark Teahan
Orlando Hudson
Y. Betancourt
And hopefully this years Ryan Braun.....Evan Longoria

Pitchers....

C. Zambrano
J. Verlander
T. Gorzelany
J. Guthrie
G. Meche
J. Blanton
T. Jones and Manny Corpas.

Not overly happy but did the best I could given the shitty position I had. Looking back I made a few mistakes but oh well, I should be better prepared for this weeks draft since I already had a trial......I hope I get a top 3 or last 3 picks tho....I hate being in the middle.

doesnt look like i'll make the draft damnit..good excuse tho..i'm going to watch a guy from my club fight.....

I did a pub league draft to see how things would go and I actually ended up with a team I'd honestly like to have in the BS league. Got most of the players I wanted.

A middle round pick is good if there are people in the draft who take chances or make irregular picks. I'd take a 5th round pick in our draft in a heartbeat.

Good for you...It fucked me all up, although I know I have a decent team it's not what I wanted coming out the gate....Hopefully I'll get a spot I like better and make noise in our draft coming up.

Looking at the team I did draft tho.....O think it has plenty of offensive talent, I'm just worried about the pitching down the road.

Yeah the offense looks strong and you have two quality starting pitchers. Pujols is sketch this year but he's having a good preseason. Zimmerman and Martin were money last year, they'll do well for you.

Depth looks to be a prob though.

So who are you gonna' boot so I can get in on this shit?

Why is Pujols scetch this year? I think he had a sub par (for him) year last year and look for him to bounce back big this year......I think Granderson is the best all around player to have this year along with Hanley.

The elbow. I don't see how one can play very long with a torn somethingoranother in their elbow. He's playing well so far though, maybe he'll hold up.

Well I couldn't pass him up at 6th......I really wanted Hanley as my first pick but he was taken 2nd overall.

Nice. I like Tulowitzki and Prince. Pitching is solid, Wagner is going to have another great year. Franc that late was a steal. Only pick I would have stayed away from is Lowell. Kendrick is another good pick that late.

I was looking at him or Chipper. I think I got some pretty good picks late. I think Lowell will have a good season. He racked up a ton of RBI last season. I think I have enough to repeat in this league.

Big night tomorrow night boys. Check the league home page out. Make sure you are there 5-10 minutes early so your draft page is loaded up and ready to go.

Draft tonight fellas. Get ready. 7:45 EST. Be there.

6:45 central.....i shall b there got blunts and weed ready

Can't wait. Hope mostly everyone shows up.

The lack of people posting here concerns me. Less than an hour until the draft room is open. Gonna eat dinner with the fam, then it's time to assemble the greatest team ever seen.

I'm just now sitting down to start drinking dinner......

34 minutes until draft time, i have the 5th overall selection.

Bad day overall...Didn't set my hooks line-up nor did I make the draft..bad team I must add...Waiver wire will be my best friend..

So what is everyone thinking now that the draft is over? Any regrets, observations, etc? I think everyone had a pretty solid draft. This should be an interesting year.

I like my team outside of Lefty and 14-K stealing a couple of the players I wanted away from me. I wish I could have nabbed Ryan Howard, Josh Hamilton, Yunel Escobar and Brandon Webb. I think I made up for it by drafting mostly young but proven players. I love you all for letting Yimmy slip to me.

Fix I have Bedard available if you'd like him.

bedard would be nice, but your prices are often steep.


my biggest regret is taking jay bruce... i was all hyped on him after reading some baseball magazines....but unless his stats in the minors take affect, he is useless.


i love granderslam... he was huge last year.



my pitching shaped up nicely as well..

Hey, my prices are excellent. I'm like muthafuckin Target over here.

Bedard is available though. You can make some offers. We could work something out. If not that's good too.

Granderson on the 15 day DL....that sucks. I have him on my other team.

I offered you a trade. I think it is very fair considering your lack of pitching. It addresses your need for a solid closer too.

yeah i seen that...he wont be out that long though.

i'm happy with everyone cept mayb D Jeter...just dont really like him ...lol

Very close but I don't want to let go of Hart......I countered you. If you don't like that I willing to part with Pierre instead of Melky. Let me know. We are real close to something though.

No can do. Hart was the part of the deal which made it worthwhile for me. Helton and Haren were sweeteners to lessen the Capps for Hart part.

I don't think much of Cabrera and Pierre is in jeopardy of losing his everyday job in the outfield to Andre Ethier who is busting the cover off the ball. Pierre is in serious decline.

The original deal is still open though. Just re-offer it if you need a closer.

I see your point but Basically in my eyes it's Helton for Swisher nearly even, Haren for Verlander nearly even and then I'm giving you Verlander for capps? Nah......Let me try and think of something. I'd like to have Helton on my team as well as Haren.....but that still leaves me in need of a closer.:dunno:

I like my team.

Just to add, While Pierre is having a poor spring I was under the indication that Eithier was battling for the job with Kemp not Pierre although I could be wrong. Either way Pierre batted 300 last year and stole like 65 bases.....He'll be in their lineup sometime this year and be productibve IMO.....Spring doesn't mean a whole lot....It's like a RB having a poor preseason. Anyway I know you want Swisher since he's a sox and I like Helton, maybe we can work that deal somehow.....I feel it's fairly even especially considering Swisher can play 1b and of in our league.....what say you?

i hate the yankees but i like jeter more and more.... he's got that tom brady god complex though... but he is a hard worker.
i agree fully...i respect his playing abilities..just dont like his attitude..lol..but the man can play baseball...

I see where you're coming from. That being said...

I think that Haren for Verlander is essentially a push. Haren just came off a great season as did Verlander, but Haren played on a much worse team. Now that he is on a young, hungry, playoff caliber team I expect him to perform just as well as a guy like Brandon Webb. Obviously Verlander will post great numbers too like he did last year, but their shotty bullpen worries me. Yes a lot of run support, but awful middle relief and an awful closer concerns me a bit when they need to hold onto Verlander's lead.

Helton for Swisher is a bit more of a risk on my part, where Haren for Verlander is safer for both of us. We know what type of player Helton is and we know he hits at the humidor. He has been having a fantastic spring and he very well may revert back to his 2003-2004 form. Swisher doesn't have a solid spot in the White Sox lineup right now and is slated to bat leadoff. He isn't a typical leadoff hitter and this will affect his RBI numbers. I need some power in my lineup and Hart would help supply that where Pierre will not.

This is what scares me about Pierre:

"Mar 23 Pierre was 0-for-4 Sunday and is now hitting just .188 in 69 at-bats this spring.

Recommendation: Still no word on the winner of the left field job, but on performance alone, the nod would go to Andre Ethier (.344 AVG)."

Yeah the spring doesn't mean everything, but it's a better indicator of how a player will enter the season in baseball than it is in football or basketball. Most star football players only get a few reps in per game in the preseason. The baseball players are generally getting a regular number of plate appearances per game.

Also regarding Pierre, if he were to have a season like he had last year, I simply don't need that much speed and can't sacrifice the power. I'm just not feeling good vibes from him (no homo).

Capps will post much better numbers in his third year and first FULL year as closer. The Pirates will be a bit better this year and Capps should go for 25-35 saves with a sub 3.00 ERA if healthy.

So the way I see it is you get an upgrade at pitching, where you are relatively weak on paper, and I get an upgrade in hitting, as I am relatively weak in the power department. Trade is still available, but if you can't part with Hart it's all good.

Jeter was a stand up guy when me and my friends met him down in Fla. He took pics with a smile on his face and a good attitude about it, even though right after 100000000 people hounded him. He is definitely one of the guys who plays the game the right way.

I see where you're coming from. That being said...

I think that Haren for Verlander is essentially a push. Haren just came off a great season as did Verlander, but Haren played on a much worse team. Now that he is on a young, hungry, playoff caliber team I expect him to perform just as well as a guy like Brandon Webb. Obviously Verlander will post great numbers too like he did last year, but their shotty bullpen worries me. Yes a lot of run support, but awful middle relief and an awful closer concerns me a bit when they need to hold onto Verlander's lead.

Great break down.....I'm going to differ with the Haren/Verlander thing slightly because the tigers should score more runs than ever while Haren is still on a West team which are all known for giving up huge amounts of runs.Swisher is poised to break out and have a big year.....you know this....question mark-Yes but easily and not suprisingly it could happen no matter what bat he assumes in the order come oepening day while Helton is somewhat aging but consistent. I dunno, I'm going to think things thru. This is one reason I'm not really into trading before the season starts and goes for a month or so....because you never know. Hart could have a huge year in all categories and players we both are taking chances on right now could bust or be big gamers down the road. I'm fairly confident I have a strong enough team to start the season with minus a closer.....but I also noticed a few others without proven closers or with limited closing assurance so that I'm not overly worried about it. I can see a few teams that may end up willing to trade a great player for 2 good ones that will suit their needs positionwise....I feel I have some players that could potentially overachieve ....as do you.

Well Oakland is generally known as being a pitchers park if I'm not mistaken. That seems to be supported by guys like Zito and Mulder posting excellent years there and struggling elsewhere. I think Arizona is more of a hitters park, but Haren has good stuff and improved bats behind him to neutralize that. I project a slight increase in ERA/WHIP, but a few more wins.

Swish definitely has potential. He has already proven he can hit for power, but I'm just going off Guillen's plan for him. Batting leadoff means less RBI opps and I need more of those at this point. Factor in that Helton is a career .332 hitter and you see why I like him over Swish. Even if the power isn't there (like last season) he is still going to put up numbers. I was honestly shocked that he fell to me...similar to Prince Fielder last year...only older and whiter.

I'm a prime example of somebody who doesn't care about or need top flight closers to succeed. I understand where you're coming from here. Closers only really make an impact on one category, with the odd cheap win or two here and there. That being said, you really have to evaluate whether you feel comfortable with Rollercoaster Jones and Troy Percival handling the bulk of the work there. Capps is a much safer option for you, as he is young and has no prior history of injury or being shelled from 5-6 runs in an inning (like TJ). He also seems to strike out batters at a decent clip (64 compared to Jones' 33) and picked up 4 wins last year. Sometimes a solid closer will emerge mid season though (Joakim Soria) and they can be beneficial. You may be able to go that route if you don't feel comfortable trading before the season starts.

Oh my whole team is gonna over achieve...don't you know who the fuck I am?

i like hearing stuff like this, makes you respect the athletes that much more. i heard kobe is the same way, which most wouldnt assume. i know firsthand experience that roy jones is the same way, great guy. took pics with us and chatted breifly

baseball sucks....

Sorry i couldnt make it last saturday.
we had a big issue at work so i had to stay longer.
i was pretty happy with my team.
although what are the odds i get Street, and he blows it like a preteen with a hoooker like he just did

haha he did just blwo that save, two outs in the 9th. One more out to go and he let up a homer.

I'm not thrilled with my team but I'll make it work.

You guys are lucky. I have been very busy the last month or so and put absolutely no prep time into this draft. What's more it was a family game night so I didn't even get in front of the computer until 2 minutes before my first pick. Still landed Hanley with the 3rd overall pick though so I was thrilled with my first round pick. Then the wife and kids were painting Easter eggs and kept wanting to show me and drag me in the other room which threw me off my game. It's fine though. It just evens out the odds for the rest off you.

My analysis of my team:

c - decent

Infield - Excellent

Outfield - a bit weak

SP - a bit weak

RP - Excellent

You ended up with a solid roster. Definitely helped getting the first overall pick. Great offense. I want Chris Young. If you see anything you need offer me a trade.

WTF Sonny Mariano Rivera for Eric Byrnes? LMAO......even if I was that stupid I doubt Gringo would let that shit slide......:nonono:

Whatever dude. There is nothing wrong with that offer. Especially for someone who needs a quality closer. Please don't make me laugh. Of the 3 boxing scene fantasy leagues i have participated in I have 2 wins. You thought I was trying to rape you when I offered you Jones drew last year and then he came on and had a great year. You don't want the trade offer, don't accept it. But don't act like a bitch.

Racist........:D
yep very much so i hate all guyanesse people with 6 hairs on their left testicle.

first official day and we are already going to have arguments between managers guys???

I'll tell you what.....If Hart,Byrnes and Sizemore all improve on their numbers last year as most would expect, I could have a deadly OF that puts up nice numbers accross the board in all categories.....which is hard to find. Got my fingers crossed.....

Seriously Sonny.....Byrnes for any closer is rediculous no matter what needs I have. I'm not questioning your abilty at fantasy sports......I will say this though....you probably win alot because you find dip shits to take bogus offers like that. No reason to be a cunt about it I was just teasing a bit....you're awful sensitive these days......lighten up a bit. You used to be fun to chat and post with on here but not so much the past 6 months or so.....whats your problem?

Boys, no need to argue. Myself and 14-K are going to finish 1st and 2nd again this year per usual. :sombrero:

He's due for 100/10/70/.310

He's the next Michael Young...only he plays second base.

Back to my oF......It's gonna own watch and see.

It is really good. I'm hoping that Milledge, Fukudome and/or Gomez turns into something. Gomez is supposed to have blazing speed and good power. I read something that said Jose Reyes acknowledges that Gomez is faster than he is.

All of them are starters so hopefully one of them pans out. Carl Crawford and Nick Markakis are studs though. I was so fucking happy that Markakis made it to me. He was instrumental in my victory last year.

If I had to rate my team overall I'd give it a B+. Strong infield, outfield, starting pitching and relievers. No real glaring weaknesses, but no obvious advantages either.

Saad, just offered you an absolute blockbuster.

Saad, just offered you an absolute blockbuster.

i hope you get aids...

i think all shall b ware of my team....if all goes planned..soon everyone will b offeren me trades left and right.....hmmmm

Saad, just offered you an absolute blockbuster.

Yes it was but I have to kindly decline at this time. I'm going to see how things for for a few weeks with what I got......

Fixy....Haren 6 strong inning 9ks and 1 er......fuck off. Should get the win too as long as Street doesn't blow the fucking game again.

I was very close to taking him.......He was great for you last.

No IP category this year huh? I just noticed that.

This is week is kind of gay. I have no one playing this week so I lose by default.

Yeah I was suprised by this as well....It should have started with this coming Monday.....

I didn't really know about the earlier games counting. At first I didn't even know they were being played before everything else, now I wonder if they'll just roll over to next week so that everything is a bit more fair. I didn't think you could pick a week for your league to start...I apologize to anyone who gets f'ed by it.

No prob. I just throw these trades out ya know. I hardly expect them to get accepted right away....they are more like something to think about.

I'm like Caesar. I don't suffer fools. And for the record I won the football league last year without a single trade. Also won both of my fantasy baseball leagues last year without a trade. I am more often the person shaking his head at other bs trades. If I had it my way we would have a no trade league. that way their would be no questions at all about cheating.

Anyway, Byrnes will not come close to his numbers of last year this season. meanwhile Rivera will get his usual 30+ saves low ERA, Low WHIP, and few if any losses. He would probably help in every pitching category except Wins, which he will probably still get around 5 or so.


I sent you a counter-offer, btw. Asking for Hanley Ramirez for Tuliwitzki and a 3rd rate catcher is laughable... Tuliwitzki is another one who will fall off this year. His numbers away from Coors field are a joke...

I disagree I think Witzki will have a better year than last and Byrnes should match if not exceed his numbers from last season. Time will tell......As for Rivera I can see him losing the job to Joba before the seasons over if he slips up. Anything can happen and as for Snyder being a 3rd rate catcher he will put up better numbers than Molina and is poised to have a breako
