Fantasy team?
2 me Albert Pujols is the best baseball player and he is on the best team ever "ST. LOUIS CARDINALS!"
Reply:id say its an alright team maybe a 6 or 7 outta 10 considering the fact that some of those guys are falling apart and might need future surgery. Id pick up a couple red sox if i were you to.
Reply:It looks strong... But REALLY injury prone with central figures like:





Pujols- Gonna need complete elbow reconstruction.


Berkman- He's had trouble.


Matsui- Trouble.


Rolen- On the decline.


Angels Pitching- Lackey's out for awhile.
Reply:lets say out of 10 id rate this team a 6.5 u should make a trade for a more athletic outfiler. A guy who can put up a little higher then league average in all major stat catagories. Just adding a guy like that would make ur team an 8.5 .


( Fukudome can become that guy but he is a little older so im not sure.)
Reply:Looks really good.
Reply:It looks good but you don't have Manny or David Ortiz.
Reply:Awesome team! Pujols is probably the best player in the MLB once he recovers from his injury.

My 12 team draft picks..please rate?

qb palmer cin


rb jackson,s stl


jones,j dal


wr johnson c, cin


jackson,d sfo


cotcherty nyj/muhammad, chi/bennett,d stl


te heap balt


k keading sdc


def ravens


bench


qb harrington(lol)


rb jones k det


wr walker wes, ne


def cheifs


k scobee j jax

My 12 team draft picks..please rate?
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)


2B Brian Roberts (Bal - 2B) 3B David Wright (NYM - 3B)


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:8/10
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.
Reply:7/10
Reply:i would give it 6/10. But i would perfer Manny,Soriano and jermain Dye in the OF

any tips? what are my strengths? weaknesses?

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:terrible: give up now
Reply:wow


Please help me pick 3 WRs for this week...Thank you?

I got Driver @ Dal Evans @ Was Branch @Phi Brown vs Sea C. Henry @ Pit and R. White @ STL

Please help me pick 3 WRs for this week...Thank you?
driver


brown


white
Reply:Driver


Evans


Branch
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.

Fantasy Baseball Help?
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.
Reply:add Fred Lewis of the Giants if he's available
