What do you all think about this it is an auto pick. I know I have to get a catcher!

Pasta Little Brioni · 03-23-2008, 11:13 AM

depends on how many teams in the league

L.A. Chieffan · 03-23-2008, 11:17 AM

towles aint bad, sleeper all the way. If you pick up another catcher, hang on to him in case he blows up

L.A. Chieffan · 03-23-2008, 11:18 AM

BTW, pitchings solid, offense might need a little help. Im still a little skeptical of Pena repeating last year

Yup, 8 team-league your team sucks. 14-team league, you're a runaway winner. (I'm guessing 10?)

Also: keeper or regular?

**banyon** · 03-23-2008, 11:25 AM

Also I don't know many leauges where you can use 7 starting pitchers, usually if you use 6 you'll be over the innings limit very fast. Looks like you need to dump Coco Crisp, Mark Ellis, and Andy Pettite for some guys who might vulture saves or help your ERA/Stikeouts (8th inning guys) like Rafael Betancourt, Joba Chamberlain, Juan Rincon, Scot Shields, Joel Zumaya, or Jonathan Broxton.

Trade one of your SP's for a stick if you can. Not thrilled with your outfield.

BWillie · 03-23-2008, 12:07 PM

Don't....trade....Prince...Fielder!!

StcChief · 03-23-2008, 12:30 PM

Don't play fantasy baseball unless you have alot of time to invest in it.

eazyb81 · 03-23-2008, 12:33 PM

Why the hell did you auto-pick? I don't see how it can be fun to play with a team you didn't even create.

Chief Roundup · 03-23-2008, 04:13 PM

It is a 12 team league

I didn't create it a friend of mine did.
It is my 2cd year at fantasy baseball. So still pretty green at it all.
It is a rotisserie league.
I am looking at a couple of catchers Miguel Olivio from the Royals. How good is he?
I would like to try and work a trade to get a good catcher.
How good is Soria RP too?

Stick with Towles, he won't be the best catcher, but probably in the top 10, which is way better than Olivio. Don't trade for a catcher, just leave it alone!
Soria, he's good, but will he get you 40 saves, not on the Royals this year. Look for 25+ saves with good all around stats.

As for Randy Winn, why? Look for someone that may have been forgotten about, like an Austin Kearns. Your OF is pretty brutal for a 12 team league, a lot of players(Burrel and Bay) that used to be good but have declined a lot so they are ranked higher than they should be.
