Preseason chatter

[Quakers]

Arg...my first injury. :evil:

 

Blanton out for 3 to 6 weeks!

I have two players definitely starting the season on the DL (Volquez and Lidge) and one up in the air (Ross). Volquez and Lidge aren't messing up my plans because I knew from the very beginning that they'd start on the DL, but my final moves to get my roster legal depend on Ross' situation.

 

Where I'm really getting screwed is in my two Yahoo leagues. In each league I have one closer definitely starting on the DL (Wood and Street), but they haven's been placed on the DL yet. Because of that I've lost opportunities to replace them before potential replacements are picked up by other owners because the roster spots aren't open yet.

I'd be really excited if the Giants would get rid of Molina and put Posey in where he belongs. Alas, they will wait until June 1 and then he'll still get 200 AB's this year.

 

Oh well, I'm just happy he's a member of the Dealers.

I'm in a similar situation with the Astros and Castro. Towles is starting catcher for now with Castro starting in the minors, but that could change before the year is over.

[Quakers]

I am going to have a rush of players that will top 200 ABs in June/July.

 

Scott Sizemore, Brandon Allen, Brandon Wood, Cameron Maybin, Fernando Martinez and possibly a pitcher too with Hudson. A good problem to have, but will I be able to find room for them in my roster?

I have a good enough team to win:

 

1. When King Felix pitches 2 times in a week.

2. If ARAM and Reyes can play a whole year healthy.

3. If at least one of my young bats produces.

4. If Bum comes up and is the pitcher he can potentially be.

 

Those things don't happen and I'm trading guys like Braun early in the year for some major pieces for next year.

If would just trade me Brandon Wood, you wouldn't have to worry about it.

I'm happy that Escobar is pretty much guaranteed to start and leadoff all year, so now I just hope he can either be the slappiest hitter that ever slapped (i.e. Ichiro-like offense at SS), or develop some kind of hidden power.

 

Looks like Sean Rodriguez will get a shot, somewhere, at Tampa too. If he can put it all together, I'd be really hopeful for my team.

[NCCubFan]

My roster is now legal. I just made my final cuts.

[MembersOnlyJacket]

I hate the Giants a lot. They can't hit and they leave who might be their best hitter in the minors for another 2 months so he can catch every day. But, their plan when he's at the ML level is to play him at 1st and C to prolong his career. So, naturally, send him to Fresno and gain a year on the arbitration clock and "imrpove his receiving." Terrible for Giants fans and the Dealers.

So, CJ Wilson is only eligible at RP. Can I put him in at RP on the day that he starts in order to get my 7? I'm fine if not. I'll still win w/ 6 starts. BOOK IT!

[Quakers]

Juan, I think we can get rid of a few of the stickies. 2010 draft pick trades, prospect draft, and I am finished drafting.

[shnsajax]

Starting this season just like last season, 2 starting pitchers on the DL already.

 

Hurry up Strasburg!
