Fantasy Baseball trade advice?

I have a question for you guys. What do you guys think of this possible trade?

I would get:

Rick Ankiel

Brian Bannister

Randy Wolf

I would give up:

David Ortiz

Let me know what you think of the trade, whether you think I should go through with it, and whether I should try to get Chris Young or Jermaine Dye instead of the named outfielders.

Thanks!!!

Here is the rest of my line up:

C Jason Varitek (Bos - C)

1B David Ortiz (Bos - 1B)

Honestly i don't know why in the world you would do this trade.

Your trading a 1st/2nd rounder in Ortiz, a Possible 4th rounder in Verlander, and a 10th rounder in Zimmerman for a good outfielder in Byrnes, for 3 scrubs who are just doing good as of now. Ankiel, Bannister, %26amp; Wolf will eventually come back down to earth. These 3 would be great pickups as free agents but your giving 2 great players and a decent player for a good player and people who are hot as of now.

Essentially this is a 3 for 1 deal, Ortiz, Zimmerman, %26amp; Verlander for Byrnes. While Ortiz, Zimmerman %26amp; Verlander are all of to slow starts they have been consistent over the past years. Why would you want to trade consistency for players who are hot right now?

Ortiz has averaged 43 HR's, .309 AVG, and 135 RBI's since joining the Red Sox. Verlander has a combined record of 35-17 and 314 K's in the '06, %26amp; '07 seasons. The Tigers bats are just starting to heat up and you should expect more run support from a potent Tigers lineup when Granderson returns. Zimmerman is a good hitter who should smack 25-30 HR's this year with 100 + RBI's and a .270 AVG. Although struggling now, Much more consistent than Ankiel.

I hope you don't make this trade. Your players have plenty of time to heat up later on in the year. Your players are going to get better as the season progresses, while his will get worse. Think about the long haul, Consistency? Or Players who are doing good now but will get worse?

Hope this helped! Good luck this year!!
Reply:Well keep verlander , try to get rid of ortiz for pujols or prince fielder or ryan howard... get rid of Zimmerman for ankiel.. Ankiel is doin OUTSTANDING so far other wise i wouldnt do the trade
Reply:There is no way why you would do that trade.
Reply:Six man leagues or 8 man leagues are stupid. Good Luck.

6 teams no compition, its about who got lucky everyone should have studs all the way around with lots of studs on waivers.

I will tell you this dump Randy Moss and pick up someone like B Edwards at WR.
Reply:Trade moss. It wont get any better for him. Maybe someone will over value him. Other thant that you have a pretty good team.
Reply:Great team, but drop Cooley...Dallas just had their bye week and you can use Witten every week. Pick up another WR for depth.
Reply:Start Grossman over Hasslebak and trade your receivers for some decent ones. Use their names as trading leverage. However, Moss is a total bust this season, and Chad Johnson will not put up the same numbers as last few years because they have too many good weapons now. RB's and Defense are ok, TE are ok...
Reply:get another kicker and switch out hasseleback and grossman depending on their opponents put grossman in because if im not wrong hes facing seatle and bears have a good defence so do not start hasselback this week

good luck

Should I trade Torii Hunter for Nick Swisher inf Fantasy Baseball?
Swisher moved up to second in the batting order on Wednesday, in an attempt to stimulate the A's slumping lineup. With this happening you can expect move at-bats from him and more opportunities. Right now, Hunter hasn't been producing as well as Swisher. Making Swisher the better player in the trade.
Reply:I'd take Swisher over Hunter at this point... Swisher is primed for a breakout year - look for somewhere around 30-35 HRs and about 100 RBIs from him... Hunter on the other hand is getting up there in age and is on the decline... he may get some more steals than Swisher but he should only hit 20-25 HRs with about 80-85 RBIs...
Reply:Comparison of '06 season:

Swisher: 106 runs, 35 homers, 95 RBIs, 1 steal, .254 AVG .372 OBP

27 yrs. old

Hunter: 86 runs 31 homers 98 RBIs 16 steals .278 AVG

.336 OBP

31 yrs. old

Swisher had more solid stats with the OBP, runs, rbi's, and homers. Hunter stole more, but just take a quick glance at age and you will see the difference. Swisher is in his prime. Hunter-4 years past his prime.

Take Swisher.

I am going to be honest with you. You wasted your high draft picks on WR (YOUR FIRST TWO PICKS BETTER HAD BEEN JOHNSON AND WARD BECAUSE NOBODY ELSE YOU DRAFTED IS TOP 25).

QB- Roethlisberger is a WINNER but he has not put up fantasy numbers, at best his production has shown him to be a top BACKUP! now if you are predicting he is about to put up huge numbers than that is different but you would need a quality backup in a good offense (Trent Green, Byron Leftwhich or Steve McNair) Mark Brunell has not shown himself to be that type of player since moving to Washington.

RB- Julius Jones and Domnic Davis are both injury prone, there is a good chance that in Week 4 you will be starting two rookies (reggie bush and Wali Lundy) There is noway you should have allowed yourself to get stuck with this running back situation. IF they are healthy they both can be productive, but neither one has proven to be healthy.

WR- You are good, nothing to say but watch out for Ward hamstring.

K %26amp; TE - Decent selections based on production and potential.

W/R - Please read RB and take out Dominic Davis and Julius Jones and put in Ahmed Green

DEF - Pittsburgh Good

D- linebackers good (no way of figuring out how high you drafted these guys from the looks of your team you drafted them hopefully before running backs).
Reply:solid, but it looks like you put too much emphasis on wide receivers... this is good for a 10-12 man league though
Reply:probably a few too many receivers, but lots of potential for huge days
Reply:Not a bad team.

QBs - Big Ben isn't going to put up huge fantasy #s since the Steelers are a run-first team. Brunell had a great season last year %26amp; has plenty of good receiving options, but he's otherwise a question mark w/ an injury history and Jason Campbell waiting to take over. You might want to upgrade there.

WRs - solid

RBs - Domanick Davis may spend the season on the bench %26amp; Ahman Green hasn't had a healthy full season in a while. J. Jones, R. Bush, C. Brown and W. Lundy should provide you with plenty of options, however.

TE - solid, but no backup for bye week

K - see TE

DEF - see TE

IDPs - I've never played IDPs before, so I have no idea how well those players will do. But on the surface, they don't seem like the kind of players that are going to light up the stat boards. However, I could be quite wrong.

You have a good team, but like I said, you might want to look into an upgrade at QB %26amp; make sure that the waiver wires will have what you need at TE, K and DEF.
Reply:Everything looks good except RB's. kinda weak there. must be a 12 team league.
Reply:I would say average to below average. You are relying on Pitt to have a great game every game if you decide to start Ben, Hines, and the Def at the same time.
Reply:very weak at rb
Reply:your quarterbacks could always be better, ben and mark are decent, and your rb squad needs to be upgraded, you better just hope bush gets the starting nod because even though davis is a decent rb, he gets hurt to often, same with chris brown and in ten. they have a deep rb squad with henry and white. and ahmen green has gone way down hill
Reply:Oh man that is horrible dominick davis might not even start and julius jones is a split back, you have too many wide recievers and almost none of them point makers. Trade Johnson or Ward for a running back and a solid qb rothlisberger is coming off injury and brunell is injury prone, do something.

Try and trade Reggie Bush, hopefully you can package him and Dominc Davis together for a healthy RB. Personally I would be going after Ronnie Brown

Reply:You need much better QBs
Reply:As a general rule, auto-picked teams usually wind up being awful. Yours isn't much of an exception, although you did get lucky with Wali Lundy (Davis likely is out for the season) and if Chris Brown gets traded you may end up with something decent there.

And you better hope Big Ben doesn't get hurt.

im in a 10 team league so i have the best closers by far, and the best overall pitching to...should i trade a good close (witch one) for a good hitter to a team with bad closers? Or should i just wait and see how i do?

PLEASE rate my fantasy baseball team (1-100) 1= terrible, 100= perfect....I really need your help!?
Don't listen to what everyone else has said..

i don't mean to bad mouth them or anything, but you have a GUTSY team..

id give you an 86...

pitching depth is more important then you will ever imagine, do not trade your pitchers before the season starts..

you are at an advatange to the rest of the league by having these players...

pitchers get hurt sooo often it is so important to have a deep rotation...

dude you are in position to finish in a high spot, and you've got guys like Colon who can bounce back and make your team even stronger...

you fill a lot of stat categories, and i really wouldn't change anything...
Reply:uh probly 73.2
Reply:Pretty bad team.

I don't think Sanchez will compete for the batting title this year, and other than average he provides no other category well. Beltre is a below average 3rd baseman. Podsednik is injured and may miss April, he's also a one trick pony with steals and since his injury was to his leg he might not be fully healthy till June. Hunter and Cabrera aren't great fantasy options. You only have power in Pujols and Hafner and not a lot of speed.

As for pitching, Ben Sheets is always injured half the year, Pedro is out till June, Wang wins games but couldn't get a strike out to save his life. Garland and Contretras are solid back ups. And you've got a good closer corps.

40/100
Reply:Dump Pedro and move Putz + Sanchez for a real good 2B, last year was a flash in the pan for Sanchez and you should sell as high as possible on him.
Reply:I'd say around a 50. You need some help with your batting lineup. Pitching seems good to me.
Reply:Yes you have too many closers I would look to add a big bat in the outfield, that is your weakest position. Look around your league for anybody that needs a closer, dont trade k-rod as he is the best of the bunch, but any of the other guys could pull you a decent outfielder. Try to go after Delmon Young ,Juan Pierre, or Mike Cameron to help with steals. Also, maybe look to get a better shortstop than Crosby, target guys like Julio Lugo or Bill Hall. I would rate your team an 85, with your pitching being your strongest point. Check out this Blog that ranks every position

I need help in my fantasy baseball team espiecally in the saves category?
I'd trade T. Hunter and C. Floyd for a premier colser. Maybe J. Isringhausen, B. Jenks, or M. Rivera or maybe even J. Papelbon or F. Rodriguez.

Don't take the trade. C. Floyd is very good trade bait. While R. Cano isn't that good of trade bait. Look for J. Borowski(Flo-RP), S. Camp(TB-RP) he's goin to take over the closing job in TB cuz T. Walker is on the DL. I'd would alos look into trading J. WEstbrook or T. Armas for T. Hoffman or M. Gonzalez, closers that don't get that much oppurtunities but will give u a save here and there.

And that Japenese guy for the Dodgers. He's good.
Reply:it's good that you have turnbow.......u must trade floyd and edmonds in order to get a saves guy. i would always recommend rivera, but if he's too tough to get, as i would imagine, go for trevor hoffman, bob wickman, or ryan dempster.

Reply:Keep your eve on Zumaya and Rodney from the Tigers. Todd Jones isn't having a good year and one of them could be the closer before the season is done.

Both are probably Free Agents.
Reply:Takashi Saito (RP - LAD)

Akinori Otsuka (RP - Tex)

Either of those would get you some good saves, Otsuka will also get you a bunch of Ks for a reliever.
Reply:sure
Reply:In a roto league, if you are proficiently bad in one category with little hope of recovery, you may want to consider trading Turnbow and beefing up your other categories. If you worry too much about compensating for the lack of saves, you'll wind up blowing the other categories.
Reply:First of all, do not trade Floyd for Cano. Floyd is just off to a slow start. He's notorious for second half play.

If you're really desperate for a closer I would suggest Elmer Dessens of the Royals, he won't see many opportunities however. But he can play the SP position, it's use for for me because I have six closers.

And if you have a DL spot open, pick up (KC) Mike MacDougal. He should return in two weeks, and will have no trouble regaining the closer position.

Shawn Camp is the newest closer for the Devil Rays after the Tyler Walker injury.

DET's Rodney is an excellent pick up, if available. Todd Jones is 38 and has contract problems. I doubt he will end the season as closer.

CIN's Todd Coffey has become their new closer, however Weathers may return to that role so keep an eye on him.

Also keep an eye on Valverde, he's cold right now, but Melvin expected him to return to the closer role.

Ray, Putz, Borowski are likely taken, but if not definitely pick them up.
Reply:take cano for floyd, much more value at 2B, especially as trade baitto another team for a closer.
Reply:coffey,
Reply:Jorge Julio for the D-backs will get the majority of saves for them from here on out. Try to get Ray from Atlanta, Saito from Dodgers as they have had problems with previous closers and will be the #1 until otherwise noted.

I doubt he is still available, but Coffey from Cinci just started getting saves a week ago or two.

qb palmer cin- the second best QB

rb jackson,s stl - he wont have as many carries, but he will catch passes too, a top 5 rb

jones,j dal -he's dallas yardage back, not many td's tho, a solid second back tho

wr johnson c, cin- cinco ocho, not much more to say

jackson,d sfo- he was a question in seattle, and not much has changed about him, so he's a crapshoot

cotcherty nyj/muhammad, chi/bennett,d stl- cotchery and mushin are solid 2 string WRs and bennett is a 3rd on the rams so jerricho and mushin will have decent production, bennett...no

te heap balt-also has been a top three TE

k keading sdc- kaeding will hit alot of extra points and field goals wont be as high as robbie gould or josh reed but a very good pick at PK

def ravens - wont be the best def this year since aduilus thomas moved to the pats. so this year its pats 1, ravens 2 bears 3

bench

qb harrington(lol)- well, he is a starter, thats all with him

rb jones k det- jones would be better then julius in your starting team

wr walker wes, ne- i doubt he'll even put up 3rd wideout numbers in the pass to everything NE offense

def cheifs chiefs are solid on into's and decnet in sacks, but the run will punish them

k scobee j jax -he'll definately get alot of fg's but he's just a replacement in a bye week
Reply:Nice squad
Reply:It's decent but you're screwed with no back-up RBs. K Jones is out the first 6 weeks and prob won't play much after that. And Julius wont get the goalline carries. Dump the chiefs D (they suck) and try to get a backup RB like Tony Hunt or brian leonard or leon washington or someone who might actually get some carries esp when injury-prone Westbrook goes down again.

You don't want a back-up kicker either. You can always pick one up off the waiver wire for Keading's bye week or the ravens bye week.
Reply:not bad
Reply:you are prolly going to do real good with that team, your bye weeks are gonna sting a bit.

Would you rate my hitting squad?

C Mike Piazza (Oak - C) 1B Paul Konerko (CWS - 1B)

SS Hanley Ramírez (Fla - SS) OF Andruw Jones (Atl - OF)

OF Eric Byrnes (Ari - OF) OF Austin Kearns (Was - OF)

Util Ryan Freel (Cin - 2B,3B,OF)

BN Jim Edmonds (StL - OF) BN David Ross (Cin - C)

Would you rate my hitting squad?
I assume you are playing in a 5x5 (R,HR, RBI, AVG, SB) league since you have some speed in the line up. Based on that premise, I would say you are above average at C,1B, 3B, and SS. If you Roberts plays well again this year, I would guess that you would have one of the top 3 infields in a 12 team league.

Your Bench players are not very strong. I would dump Edmonds, as his best days are far behind him. Ross is a decent catcher, but there will be at least one who emerges later during the year who will be as good - so dump him as well. Piazza will be playing DH anyway, so he should be able to avoid injury.

I would move Kearns and Freel to the bench early in the season. Both could emerge as starters later on, but I wouldn't feel comfortable counting on their production as starters. Both can be rather up and down players.

I am not sure who is available in your league, but I would look for guys like Jacque Jones, Kenny Lofton, Willy Taveras, Chris Duncan, Moises Alou, Brad Hawpe, or Aubrey Huff. These guys are all available in more than 40% of the leagues I am in right now. All would be significant improvements over Edmonds.
Reply:I would say 8 out of 10

I really like your blend of power (Konerko, Jones, Wright) and speed (Hanley and Freel) with some guys that can do a little of both (Roberts and Byrnes).

The only room for improvement I think you have is at the third outfield spot with Kearns and possibly with the Util spot and Freel. I personally think Kearns isn't as good as people give him credit for and because he's going to be hitting in a pitchers park for half of his games i think his numbers will drop off... and as for Freel - he has never been able to hit with a high enough average and he doesn't have any power at all... I do like the idea of having Freel on the bench though in case someone gets hurt and he will give you those extra steals...

But all in all - good drafting and good luck this season!
Reply:If its a 12 team league then I guess it would be a 7 or 8.
Reply:8/10

I preferred Utley at 2B

and Pujols at 1B and Soriano over Kearns
Reply:It's not bad. Piazza and Jones could be great because Piazza is just DH-ing and Jones is in a contract year. Ramirez is going to get tons of steals. David Wright is awsome and hopefully, for you, Brian Roberts comes back strong. Brynes, Kearns, Freel Edmonds are definitely a stretch though.

Reply:I'd give it a 6 out of 10. You have a decent average potential, but for the most part, your squad lacks true power and rbi potential. The runs generated from Roberts, Wright, Ramirez, Byrnes and Freel, as well as the steals, should allow you to be near the top of the league in that category.

But your hitting isn't very complete, and if you're in a head-to-head league, I wouldn't trust relying just on my hits/runs/steals because they're are better potential teams out there. In fact, head-to-head my fantasy team would lead your team in all those categories.
Reply:Piazza, decent but getting too old

Konerko, a stud

Roberts, best all around 2b in the game

Wright, solid hitter with protection all around him

Ramirez, young, but good. Still needs some work

Jones, will produce some runs for you but Braves suck

Byrnes, solid player, but you can do much better on OF

Kearns, way too streaky, last year came on strong, but overall average

Freel, a lot of heart, decent numbers

Edmonds, done, get rid of him

Ross, ???
Reply:Very good - good power, decent speed. Byrnes and Kearns are weak links, I would try to upgrade there. And Freel can't be counted on as he has no given position and ends up hurt all the time.

How is my fantasy baseball team!?
Your pitching looks very good and your batting is strong too.Try to trade some of the good players at backups for maybe a better catcher(isn't bad but you could find better)and maybe 2B.Once agian not bad but there are better.Cubs fan?9/10
Reply:82, Good balance, you will have a low team batting average and low strikeouts. Also SB's may be hard to come by. I would put Hoffman in as RP until Zumaya gets established as a closer.
Reply:Do have anybody from the White Sox or Dodgers you only one from the Cards and Red sox,

The only Good player you gots is Trevor Hoffman that's it.
Reply:Were you in a draft full of retards? Your team is STACKED
Reply:yea that team sucks
Reply:I would say an 80...your only weakness that I see is that you dont really have any base stealers. Soriano I feel is a gamble. If you look at his stats at Wrigley Field you will see why. Your team looks pretty good though.
Reply:good but you need better pitching. Keep Carpenter and Jenks. Try to get Cain (SF), Peavy (SD), Saito (LAD), K-Rod (LAA). and there's a guy on the Marlins who I can't remember...white guy and not Josh Johnson.
Reply:u need hoffman as a starter for the saves and you could possibly use some steals. you have really good outfielders and 3rd basemen but you could use a better catcher. I give you a 70 out of 100.
Reply:Can't help you with a scoring format and postion information. Do you have 2 players in the game at each position or is one a backup? need to know exact stat categories.

Reply:Driver

Reply:Go with Driver, Branch, and White

Driver is one of Favre's favorite targets and he openly praises him after almost every game at the fantastic catches he makes...(which are great catches)...the Dallas secondary is mediocre...not great, but definitely not a defense I would pick to stop Driver...And plus, does GB have much of a run game?...not really, so Favre's gonna throw more and Driver's going to catch a whole lot

Branch is playing for a red hot Hasslebeck right now and with their offense designed to pass the ball over 60% of the time plus with Branch being one of the top WR...easy points there.

Roddy White isn't normally looked on as a good fantasy receiver but against a weak Rams defense he should be good to go since Harrington looks to him a lot.
Reply:driver

white

evans
Reply:Branch - C mon now, he has matt hasselbeck

Driver - Brett Favre can do anything

White - He scored a TD against the colts on Thanksgiving. I expect another one against the RAMS since they have one of the worst secondarys in the league. I mean come on, Hill? Chillar? Atogwe??? Overated people!

Also a 1st round pick, this guy is young, fast, and knowledgable of the game.
Reply:Driver, Evans, Branch terrible recievers btw mine are randy moss larry fitz and andre johnson
Reply:Driver, White, and Branch
Reply:I'd go with these three:

Driver @ Dal (Must start)

Evans @ Was (Could score 3. Could score 20)

Branch @Phi (Hackett is injured; play him if healthy)

Not one of these:

Brown vs Sea (QB issue; strong defense)

C. Henry @ Pit (tough defense)

R. White @ STL(not on the same level as the guys above)
Reply:i would take

driver against dallas

brown against seattle

and i guess white against st louis

NBA Fantasy League I have 4th pick...Who do i take @ 4?!?

If you don't play in these fantasy leagues please don't answer, I need help from experienced veterans of NBA leagues. Thank you. I'm guessing first three go this way...KG,KB24,LBJ leaving Dirk,Arenas,Marion,Wade

Wades out for 2-3 weeks, but he's the guy I want to take. Categories or as follows...pg,sg,sf,pf,c,utility...3pm,as...

all 12 teams make the playoffs winner take all 650 Who should I take?

NBA Fantasy League I have 4th pick...Who do i take @ 4?!?
I would still draft D-Wade even though he'll be out for the start of the season. I always believe in the motto " it's not how you start but how you finsh" .D-Wade will still be a top player when he returns.
Reply:Marion. He's the most balanced and he'll get you something in every stat category almost every night.
Reply:Take "The Matrix". Because he does it all and will help in every categories, he's in the top 15 in all hussle categories. Good Pick with him..
Reply:I would probably go with Marion simply because he can get you solid numbers in almost all stat categories, and he usually stays healthy. (He usually finishes number 1 in yahoo rankings) The reason I would stay away from Wade here is because he plays recklessly and throws his body all over the place leaving him open to injury. I agree it is tempting to go with Wade as he is still improving, but Marion can carry a team in rebounds and help everywhere else.
Reply:Dirk
Reply:i would go with gilbert arenas..hes solid in all catagories and likes to explode with huge numbers once in a while..i dont think you could really go wrong with dirk or wade but thats just what i would do..good luck
Reply:marion...pertty easy choice. he fills up the stats. whats not to love about 20/10/4/2/2?
Reply:Take arenas......hes a statistic machine, will get you many points, a few steals and assits thrown in as well.

are saves part of the league? if so make some waiver wire moves. also your infield kind of sucks except for mccann. try trading beltran or franocuer for a infielder.
Reply:ur team is HORRIBLE. Please tell me its like a 18 team league. Who was your first round pick? Beltran, thats pretty sad and. I have no way of improving a team this bad because nobody would want ur players.

Any team with Al should be fine. You have a nice mix of speed and power. Look into replacing your 2 reserve OFs for some hot prospects to add numbers where you need them as time goes on. Bonds and Alou are injury prone and old, so they are the guys to upgrade.
Reply:Your definitly solid at all of your starting positions. However, I don't think your team is that deep. None of them were extremely productive last year. If your starters stay healthy though, you should have a nice season.

Fair Deal?

How fair is this potential deal?

Team 1 Gets: Mike Napoli, C - LAA and Chris Duncan, OF - STL

Team 2 Gets: Raul Ibanez, OF - SEA

What is the true value of the two outfielders? Will Duncan really hit 30 homers like the projections say?

Fair Deal?
Duncan hit 21 homers in 375 at bats last year as a starter against mainly righties. He batted .271 with 20 of his 21 HRs against righties. The problem is, that he batted .213 against lefties and he will face a lot more lefties than he faced last year (since he is a full time starter in left field) and he only had 80 ABs against lefties last season. Expect him to not hit homers at the same rate against lefties, and so the 30 HRs asked about is unlikely, but possible. He might actually have a worse BA then last year, but I do expect between 25-30 HRs. The RBIs are his real value as 70 RBIs in 375 ABs make me hope that in 630 ABs will make his RBIs sky over 100.

Napoli is an average catcher who hits .247 and had 10 HRs. I don't touch that. Give me a young guy with upside (Towles, Doumit) over Napoli.

Ibanez is fantasy gold compared to Napoli and Duncan. His batting average is .280 or better in the last 3 years and it continues to get better (.291 last year). He went down from 33 HRs to 21, and went from 123 to 105 in RBIs, but at least you know the power and potiential is there (he did have 50 less at bats as well). It seems everyone is always down on this guy, but I like Ibanez better than Duncan for sure.
Reply:probably fair. i like Ibanez. Napoli hasn't lived up to his hype and I doubt Duncan hits more than 25 hr. Plus he'll have low average. Ibanez might his 20, with good average and 100 rbi.

Assuming a 12-person league. If you're playing in a deeper league, I would upgrade my ratings. If your league is smaller than 10, I would downgrade.

Starters: 7.5

Pitching: 7

Bench: 6

C.Paul Lo Duca (C, NYM)--The good news is catcher is a weak postion; the bad news is Lo Duca isn't that good.

1b.Albert Pujols (1B, STL)--Congrats on getting the top pick!

2b.Freddy Sanchez (2B, 3B, SS, PIT)--hurt right now. make sure you start the season with Hudson at 2B. When healthy, Sanchez is solid, but don't expect a batting average as good as last year's.

3b.Chipper Jones (3B, ATL)--I took this gamble too. He's getting old and he's injury-prone. But if he can stay healthy, he can still put up good numbers.

SS.Jimmy Rollins (SS, PHI)--Solid SS. At the top of an awesome Philadelphia line-up (Rollins, Victorino, Utley, Howard)

OF.Adam Dunn (OF, CIN)--Good power. Average will hurt a bit, but you knew that.

OF.Matt Holliday (OF, COL)--An outfield star playing in a great place for batters!

OF.Hideki Matsui (OF, NYY)--He's healthy, and the Yankees are still tough. Expect good things.

P.Chicago White Sox (P, CWS)--Going to be interesting. They are a year removed from having an elite pitching staff. That said, Contreras isn't getting younger and Jenks has had a rough spring. Can you pick up Baltimore as insurance (they may surprise people--Bedard's a stud, Cabrera and Loewen are coming along; Ray is a good closer)

Bench

Khalil Greene (SS, SD)--Okay. Rollins is much better. I remember a couple of years ago when I thought Greene would be special. I no longer think that.

Frank Thomas (1B, TOR)--Had a monster year last year--a true resurgence. Your trick is going to be getting him in your line-up, because it doesn't appear that you play a utility spot.

Craig Monroe (OF, DET)--okay; nothing special.

David DeJesus (OF, KC)--Expected to have a break out year. Good pick!

Orlando Hudson (2B, ARI)--He's fine. You're lucky to have him in light of Sanchez's situation.

Mike Lowell (3B, BOS)--He's fine and is good insurance for Chipper. He'll never be the monster he was in Florida, but he is a good fantasy back-up.
Reply:It sucks.
Reply:so so i like that you have pulols and Rollins but number one where is you pitching there is only one there you need alot more than just him you bench is OK but the only real player of any worth is frank Thomas dump Hudson, dejesus and green they wont put up any numbers for you but the rest of you team is solid/'/
Reply:your pitching is the entire white sox staff?

Good line up bad piching
Reply:Looking at your team I must say that I am quite impressed. It is obvious to me that you must be very experienced and possess a great deal of baseball savvy. Your team is among the finest that I have seen this season and I commend you on your choices.

You have assembled a team with a great mix of speed and power, as well as a very solid pitching staff. Although there may be some injury concerns, the depth that you have built into this team is extraordinary. You appear headed to victory and a very satisfying season.

If you haven't done so, I suggest that you look into the possibility of making this more than a hobby. You certainly have some keen insights on the way a baseball team is assembled.

Good Luck!

Reply:Ok, you've got some pop at the top of your lineup but your infield leaves some to be desired and your pitching staff is right out horrendous.

Were I you, I would consider trading Albert (I know, I know) for a pitching stud and whoever else you can get for him and shifting JM into first.

Or maybe package JM and the Big Hurt into a package...something to upgrade that staff.
Reply:You have alot of question marks on your team that would make me worried. 1st, Jose Valentin, there has to be other options at 2nd basemen because he is not going to be much of a contributor, maybe an Aaron Hill, Dustin Pedroia or Adam Kennedy, at least they will put up something positive. Secondly, your starting pitching is old, and many have the risk of doing nothing or getting hurt (RJ, Colon, Lowe). My recommendation is to try and find some players people don't know, that might have huge years, look at last year some of the biggest players were FA's at the beginning of the year (Justin Morneau %26amp; Dan Uggla for example).
