Fantasy Baseball General Discussion 2012

[Hitman23]

I only have 3 Yankees. Two of whom (CC & Teix) I kept from last year. Pineda I got in the 10th round.

Yeah but you also have Austin Jackson. Every Yankee fan drafts Austin Jackson or Ian Kennedy.

I'm just messing with you. But you are a Yankee homer. It's okay to admit.

[Hitman23]

I think his bigger problem is having Jonathan Sanchez in the OF.

I didn't even catch that. I guess he's a sleeper since he can't pitch anymore.

Just dropped a guy on my team who was option to AAA. Picked up Pettitte in his place. #hopethisworks

I would much rather have Tim Hudson or Chris Carpenter if they are available.

I have Hudson

my sp now are Colby Lewis and Aaron Harang.....which means i'm just trying to get innings

also, is my roster stuck for the week? Or can I take my bench players who are playing one day and switch them with players who aren't playing on a certain day?

check your league settings. if it is weekly, you are stuck, if it is daily you can move guys until about 5 minutes before 1st pitch of their game and then they lock.

who'd you rather have on your fantasy team to occupy your UTIL slot...

Carlos Pena or Justin Smoak?

i can cut bait later this spring if/when i can move Ryan Howard from the DL.

[Yankee Tripper]

Smoaks upside is better. Pena will get you HRs but probably nothing else.

Smoak is off to a good start...Pena is doing terrible...ride Smoak while hes hot

My opponent has 17 IP of 0.00 ERA 0.59 WHIP so far with Kershaw going tonight. Unreal.

and kershaw goes 3 and gets taken out by the flu.

[Yankee Tripper]

and kershaw goes 3 and gets taken out by the flu.

Yeah it was kind of funny, he had Verlander, Cueto & Kershaw combine for 18 IP of shutout ball and only got 1 W out of it so while ERA & WHIP are out of reach in this short week, I can still whezzel out W and becasue of Kershaws short outing I migh catch him in Ks. But it didn't help that I got 7 IP of 1 run ball from Bedard only to take an L.

[NYDCYankee]

Yeah yesterday was kind of a frustrating day. I had both Strasburg and Lester give me quality starts yet no W's.

Francisco and Guerra picking up saves was nice on opening day though.

[ZYanksRule]

My team is batting .153, while my opponent is at .343. That can't possibly be sustainable on either side, but it's still frustrating.

Just dropped Matt Joyce for Austin Jackson. Nothing to do with today's 0-4, just like Jackson a little better as a player. Gives me some more speed, and he's got to improve from his stats last year.

[nhyankeefan]

Crazy day today, I have Buchholz and Aceves who combined to give up 10 ER but I also have Cabrera and Peralta who drove in 8 of the 10 runs so that didn't kill me completely. Plus it always stings a little bit less when it's Sox pitchers that are getting shelled.

[NYDCYankee]

Frank Francisco Relief Ace!

[NYDCYankee]

Javy Guerra Relief Ace!

[Yankee Tripper]

Drew Stubbs just got dropped in my 12 teamer. He's a no brainer waiver claim right? I have #3 priority. I mean guy has 30/30 potential even if he Ks a ton. I can always stash him on my bench until he gets hot, I mean it isn't like I'm going to miss Jason Kuebel right?

Absolutely, especially if you think you can absorb the average.

[TheGameEpisode2]

(I get) Bautista for Verlander...

Who wins?



Here's my team:

McCann
Freeman
Utley/Beckham
Hardy
Hanley
Presley
Upton/Beltran
Beltran/Hunter
C. Pena (DH)
Willingham (DH)


Verlander
Haren
Wandy Rodriguez
Jurrjens
Rivera
Guerra
Thornton

And a bunch of other players. It's a Dynasty league with like...70 man rosters. 12 Teams, point system.


Do I take it? My offense isn't looking too good with the injuries to Utley and Upton, but can I afford losing Verlander?

Both of these make it tough to evaluate. Considering Verlander's age, I think I'd probably keep Verlander in this format if top pitchers score about the same as top hitters.

I mean who is going to fill Verlander's spot for you and who who Bautista be bumping from your lineup?
