Fantasy Baseball General Discussion 2012

[bcom33]

1. Matt Moore
2. Mat Latos
3. Daniel Hudson
4. Rickie Weeks
5. Drew Stubbs
6. Paul Goldschmidt
7. Ubaldo Jimenez
8. David Freese
9. Drew Storen
10. Chris Young/Trevor Cahill/Trevor Bauer

This was the list I pretty much came up with except for Freese.

I worry about him getting injured, and also putting up real numbers over the course of the whole year. Sure, he was a beast in the world series, but I don't know if he's worth keeping if he's only going to hit 15 homers. His high average helps, but he's also in a worse lineup without Pujols.

Yes, it's a very young team, I came into this league late, and a few powerhouse teams have been hording the star keepers for the past couple years. Looking to break out of that.

Then again, Freese may still make more sense than another closer.

if you are willing to wait till mid season, bauer is definitely someone you want to keep

Bought my first fantasy baseball magazine of the year.

If you all could buy just ONE fantasy baseball magazine for the year, which one would you purchase?

[Yankee Tripper]

I buy Lindy's the past 3 years. Not sure if that is the best but it was the one in the Airport back then I just stuck with it.

I actually like Lindy's a lot too. I think they are pretty well-rounded source.

But I use the magazine to supplement the wealth of information ESPN puts out, especially pre-draft, and CBSSportsline which is what my league is on.

Rank these three pitchers in the order you would draft them:

Matt Moore
Michael Pineda
Stephen Strasburg

[THEBOSS84]

Rank these three pitchers in the order you would draft them:

Matt Moore
Michael Pineda
Stephen Strasburg

Strasburg>>>>>>>>Pineda>>Moore

I think Moore has the much higher ceiling, but Pineda has already succeeded at the ML level through 170IP and is ready to take the jump to 200.

[The FUTURE]

Matt Moore
Michael Pineda
Stephen Strasburg

Strasburg. Moore. Pineda.



Pineda only has two pitches. But seriously, I don't know if you can go wrong.

[NYDCYankee]

No concerns that Strasburg will be on an innings limit? That is why I think the comparison between the three is interesting.

maybe, but you can also flip him mid-season

[NYDCYankee]

maybe, but you can also flip him mid-season

If you are not in an intense league you could. But everyone in the know will know that he is on a limit, provided the Nats aren't making a run for a playoff spot (which I think they will be).

[wang+cano=future]

Rank these three pitchers in the order you would draft them:

Matt Moore
Michael Pineda
Stephen Strasburg

For next year I would go Stras, Pineda, Moore.....beyond that I would probably flip-flop Pineda and Moore, but you can't really go wrong with any of them.

What do you guys think of Scutaro in colors field? He's a good fit to play there with his low K history. He'll prob hit at the top of the order surrounded by guys like Cargo, Tulo, Fowler, and Helton. Is .300, 90/10/65 optimistic?

I think thats optimistic for him, but I agree he is a better option at SS now that he is in Colorado. Not sure if he will hit at the top of the order though.

Dynasty League, 12 Teams, Head-to-head, points system...

My first round pick for Mariano Rivera? I don't have a closer (Javy Guerra I guess is the closest thing), but I feel like giving up my first rounder for a closer (though elite) who might retire might be too much.

I love Mo, but I would't trade my first round pick for a reliever.

[The FUTURE]

One spot open in the NYYFANS.com league, sign-ups in the sub-forum

[Hitman23]

FYI - on the Yahoo 20 team league I gotta bow out. I'm commissioner for the CBS league this year on NYYFans plus I have my own league that I run and I'm also getting into another roto league that a friend and I have been trying to get together. Fortunately he's running that one but my resources are tapped. I would not be a good owner....

[Yankee Tripper]

I too will be bowing out of the NYYFANs 20 teamer on yahoo. No time for the draft with 2 kids in softball and spending too much time managing 3 FBB teams so cutting back to my original 2.

Drafting 3rd in 20 team standard 5x5 keeper league.

A number of players are off the board and guy with 1.01 alredy said he's taking Miggy.

Of these 3 guys: Cano, Tulo, Votto - how would you rank them?

tulo, cano, votto. mostly on positional scarcity and votto's biggest real asset is wasted in standard 5x5 (assuming OBP isnt one of the categories)

I go Tulo Votto and Cano. But I really don't have a problem with Cano over Votto. Tulo is clear No. 1 though.

[Giddyup5]

Picked up a team in an established keeper league.

I inherited Strasburg, Jay Bruce, Buster Posey

My pick is up and the 3 players that I am choosing from are Votto, Ellsbury, and Granderson.

I have to go with Votto right?

After you sign a player you can give him a 4 year contract as a keeper. Thanks!

[Hitman23]

Votto in a landslide.
