Great team ndistops.

 

I'm kind of regretting letting you take Webb, but I still think that King Felix could be the better pitcher.

 

I really think taking Oswalt over Carpenter was a mistake though.

 

EDIT: Wolf is that only one closer on your team? :?

 

I'm in the same position.

Yeah but I'll have another off the waiver wire by the all star break.

Yeah, Oswalt/Carp is one of the great fantasy debates this year. I also have only one true closer (Wagner), although Otsuka was Texas's closer last year, so hopefully Gagne isn't healthy enough to take his spot.

Not if I have anything to say about it :P

 

But yeah, although saves are my weakness, I have backup closers in Wheeler, Duchscherer, and possibly Wainwright. So hopefully Lidge implodes.

Does it make me a bad person to want Trevor Hoffman to tear his rotator cuff?

No.

 

You were already a bad person.

 

:wink:

[Productive Outs]

i have the worst pitching EVER.

[Balsa]

i have the worst pitching EVER.

Actually I think both Randy Johnson and Josh Beckett stand very good chances of besting their stats last year, Rivera is dependable, and Dempster could do well this year.

[otis89]

I think my team's OK.

BN - Kei Igawa

 

My two old geezers better hang on and get me some saves or I'm in trouble there.

[Balsa]

Anyone care to grade my drafted team? I was just curious to know what others with more experience think about how I did.

[Mark_R]

Carp is quite a bit better in fantasy circles than Oswalt.

[Andy]

Your team only really lacks two things: a 2nd closer and a lockdown ace. And it's entirely possible that Hernandez or Haren may end up blossoming to fill the latter role. It's going to be especially tough to beat you at SBs. :D

Awesome! I was really happy with my drafted team, and I really like the potential of guys like Fielder, Haren, Hernandez, and Teahen.

 

But yeah, I'll have to find another closer somewhere, and hope that my SPs rise to the occasion.

 

Thanks! \:D/

Oh man, Meph is offering me a pretty juicy trade.

 

Fielder Furcal

 

for

 

F-Rod, Sexson, and Edgar Rentaria

 

I'm leaning towards no. Thoughts?

I don't think I would. I'd likely take Fielder over Sexson and maybe Furcal over Rentaria if everything were equal, but I don't think the difference is nearly enough to be worth giving up one of the top closers.

He would be getting F Rod.

Ah, I thought it was the other way around. That I'd likely do, depending on who else I had on my team.

[wolf stansson]

I'd wait to get some saves off the waiver wire. If I didn't, I'd think about it.
