Half way point. Here's hoping the Pujols injury isn't too serious. Although, up until recently I've been getting by without his usual self.

Anyone interested in Phil Hughes who will be coming off the DL soon and who seems to be getting his velocity back?

After last week, I am almost expecting a down week. Luckily your due for a sub 300 point week too :-).

one game winning streak! and since my opponent this week had a net negative from his two starters, i could possibly make it two :D

 

by the way, whoever said after the halladay deal that managing my team wouldn't be fun the rest of this year was way off. i've got three guys with multiple exemptions who are among the top 10 hitters at their respective positions (avila, g. sanchez, starlin), two very good starters, one with an exemption left (j. garcia), the best prospects of any team in the league, 5 draft picks in the first 3 rounds next year, have been active in trying to make trades to improve the future of my team, and won last week in large part because of a pair of additions i made off the waiver wire/free agency. yeah my team isn't going anywhere this year, but that doesn't mean i can't do things to improve my overall picture. it's actually been quite a bit of fun... definitely the most interesting fantasy baseball league i've ever participated in.

I think you've done quite a nice job.. However, toward the end of the year, I'd recommend taking on some big names with points that you can apply to the cap. Your team is looking like a 100% exempt team with no superstars, which won't win you anything. You'll need to trade some of those guys for keeper points at the end of the year. I'm talking for players like for instance, Pujols, Adrian Gonzalez, etc. Those are the guys that when added to a core of exempt guys like you have will do you wonders. Just my advice, but you may not want to take it. I"ve played in 2 or 3 championships and have yet to win one.

This is similar to what I did last year. I took over a team, made some moves to improve my future, finished with the worst record at 6-16 and then traded my 1st round pick in both drafts along with Cano for Pujols and King Felix. I made some other smaller moves as well and I'm now 9-2 in just the next season.

thanks, that was definitely my plan... i have a large group of exempt players, along with very good prospects (some of whom could end up as major leaguers if they get over 200 AB's this year), two first round and third round picks in the major league draft, and two first round picks in the prospect draft. bottom line, i should have the pieces to acquire a top-flight hitter and pitcher before the draft, which along with shawn marcum would be a nice start. i probably won't be looking at pujols or gonzalez because i already have gaby sanchez and now also anthony rizzo and goldschmidt, but definitely 3B and OF are areas i'll be looking to improve with a stud hitter.

Moving Brian Sanchez to the bench as he is scheduled for a spot start tomorrow.

Who gives a damn at this point. Bum with a -37

[NCCubFan]

In other words, Bum's a bum. :D

4 starts in one day always makes me nervous, but yesterday was phenomenal. 30.1 innings, 18 hits, 6 ER, 1 CG, 22Ks.

Beckett can't pitch this week, but will get 2 starts next week. I'll take my chances with Nolasco @ SEA tomorrow. This could kill my chance of coming back this week.

I like anyone's chances of posting 30 points against seattle.

I'll be pulling for Nolasco ;-)

Can't someone just give Beckett an Imodium? :roll: This is killing me in my other league! Now I have to start Bailey @ Baltimore coming off the DL or Tyler Chatwood. :-k

For my sake in this league I hope Chatwood is a good decision.

Future looks bright! I have three of the top four players in this week's Hot Sheet:

 

1. Trevor May

2. Alex Torres

4. Taijuan Walker

 

:good:

Third highest score of the week, only 15 points off the lead. Hamilton returning and Pena heating up is making a difference.
