Who are our ST's fantasy baseball experts? How is my team?

Posted by Strongbad (aka Rambler14) Mar 3 '10, 07:15

Rotisserie 5x5
10 teams

I know little to nothing about baseball so I'm worried I didn't do well. Our rosters are huge, 22 starters and only 3 bench players. (9 pitchers start, regardless of SP/RP)

My first 15 picks:

Howard
Teixeira
Zimmerman
Reyes
Aaron Hill
Josh Hamilton
Ubaldo Jimenez
Josh Johnson
Papelbon
Cole Hamels
Vlad
Wandy Rodriquez
Rafael Soriano
Chad Billingsley
Mike Gonzalez

I think you're in good shape. Benches that thin, people will get impatient with pitchers with bad Aprils and start making foolish drops. - TFox Mar 3, 07:35

can you send me a list of available pitchers left in the draft? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:18 15
- here - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:21 14
  - I'd drop your worst SP and pick up Pettitte. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:24 3
    - I would not drop Floyd. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:25 2
      - You got faith in him? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:26 1
        
        a 40 year old SP is not a gamble worth taking. - groiny Mar 3, 07:33
  - ugh....... - groiny Mar 3, 07:22 9
    - Here's some more, I gave you the top ones based on Owned % - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:30 8
      - Clearly this isn't a keeper league. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:32
      - I would probably gamble on Chapman at this point.... -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:31 6
        
        He's already got Strasburg ...I don't think Chapman is nearly as close to ready as Stras is. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:32 5
        
        with his staff, he needs to gamble a bit now. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:33 4
        
        Gamble smarter than a guy the Reds likely won't have in the majors this year. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:36
        
        Drop Floyd? - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:36 2
        
        I suppose, but I think Floyd is the least of your concerns. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:38
        
        Drop Frenchy. That's a a free roster spot then -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:37
Your starting pitching is unimpressive imo - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:17 12
- Hamels will be fine. - groiny Mar 3, 07:21 6
  - He'll be fine in the way that makes Dr. James Andrews a lot of money. -- nm - David Mar 3, 07:33
  - I worry about Hamels after his injury prone year last year - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:26 4
    - Hamels overall numbers from last year were not that bad. - groiny Mar 3, 07:27 3
      - His ERA jumped a run + ... whip jumped 2/10ths and K's dropped by 30. - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:28 2
        
        well, he did pitch 20 something less innings..... - groiny Mar 3, 07:32 1
        
        Becuase his arm was hurting. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:32
- I won't win, I just don't want to embarrass myself. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:19 4
  - right now, you are probably looking at the minimum points for pitching categories. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:19
  - That's the spirit! -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:19 2
    - It's baseball... meh. - Strongbad Mar 3, 07:26 1
      - It's not hard to pick Tiger and Jimmie, dude. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 3, 07:27
your pitching is a bit weak for a 10 team league. -- nm - groiny Mar 3, 07:16
