you think? Ftw is crying about it. I think it was fair. He called me after draft all pumped up b/c he has never done fantasy b4 and that was his first draft. So i went over his team and mine. He has way too many stolen bases and needed pitching.
Plus he is a cubs fan haha so i offered drew and zambrano right over the phone. I honestly am not sure i came out good in it though. The caught stealing stat is bad with Horam. I think drew is up for a big year. drew gets more triples and i believe more doubles than hram
Drew will also hit about as many homers if not more IMO. I gained a lot of runs and SB's but also gave up a good pitcher
Drew is top 5 shortstop. U agree? rollins is top ss and than hanley imo. Rollins just sucked last year b/c i drafted him. If i had to choose i would take rollins, than hanley and than i don't know.. Drew is right there.
That is my assessment

If he has a breakout year ... definitely ... there stats are about similar but the way this league is set up hram is def a better value ... he has more pop in the bat n will have more HR's , RBI's , walks and also runs without a doubt ... also will have a higher BA going to say about .310 ... where drew will be .285
I believe the best SS is reyes ... his his hit,run single n double value is up there with the best .... you also can lock up triples n stolen bases .. but on a bad not also CS .... i also believe his total bases will be top 5 in the league
The one year i study stats i cant make the draft ...

forgot about reyes.. So those 3 and than not sure there is a case for drew not to be 4th. I do think he will have a big year and won't be a big dropoff from horam. The guy who traded me is one of my best friends and i sold him on the trade but i also believe it made both of our teams better.
He did not need the stolen bases and did need the pitching. I had little to no sb's and that was my main interest. All things being equal I am not sold on Hanley being anywhere near a top 5 pick. He is a stud but several guys i would take ahead of him. After he agreed to the trade i seriously about backed out.

Fucking $350 for the cheapest one I could find but had to have it. I didnt even set my drafting order. Hell even if I did Thick has got a lockdown with the best top two players AND depth.
Best thing we could do M is use both or team to make 1.

as for depth i am not deep. My OF is weak. bradley is a head case that plays 60 games. Chipper plays 100 games if i am lucky.. My starting pitching has 2 very injury prone guys
My Dl will always be full but I think my team will be lights out if everyone stays healthy and I get Arod back..
I still look for poopstain to put up some monster numbers. He put up solid numbers with a bum wrist. Look for a good average, huge HR numbers, and outstanding OPS from him

Thats what I always build my team around. While everybody else is worried about batting more I pick my team around "good" pitchers who tend to buckle down in the clutch games. So far it won 2 in a row with that strategy. But,,,No Mas

Wouldnt you like to beat my ass on a level playing field?
My yahoo team is hopeless. You really think you wouuld have got that much depth if Mrc and me drafted?i cant believe u got pujols 3rd ... we have 14 hitting stats n he helps out in every one except SB and maybe 1B ... but his WALKS OPS n BA are off the charts ... and the other 7 8 stats are above avg in the league LOL .. sick .. i really wish i made that dam draft ... now im stuck w/ 3 all star 1B ... n my SP is weak as shit ... but im stacked with RP lol ... hope they get alot of time this year i see me juggling with the FA market alot with the pitching

the cpu did pretty good. several times it took who i was planning on grabbing next. I was shocked to get pujols as well.. I wouldn't have taken Hanley top 5.
I figured hanley and albert 1-2 and i didn't have any idea who i would take. My buddy took braun and that shocked the shit out of me.
My pitching could go either way.. If volquez and carpenter come through I am pretty damn good with pitching. Carpenter is a walking injury though so not expecting to finish with him. Volquez could be an animal or could stay like last year and be solid
Overall MRC i like your team. I wouldn't be too discouraged by it. Hell look where I have gotten w/o drafting most years. At least top 3.
i might do the espn one but wont put much effort in it. I don't like changing formats. Took me a few years to get used to yahoo and that asshole gary didn't tell me any of the rules. Like the DL rule. I already let Hizer know that rule. I got burned on that big time

this is a "REAL" chance at revenge. You guys are starting with an even playing field. Are you gonna whine about it all year?

Its not like fantasy football and you know that. Far more strategy, knowledge and research needed. Its fantasy suicide to try and play you guys without drafting your own team. I say that as a complement. As in: Yes, you guys know your baseball.

are you fucking kidding me? Wasn't too hard for me when i missed the draft every year and I never set a lineup.. Not to mention u didnt win with your team last year so not sure why you are even saying crap like that.
Hell half your team was my leftovers last year. Worked out pretty good for you even though u said u had no chance than as well. the fantasy gods must fall for your BS i guess
