    Newbie Question

    bc2k replied to bc2k's topic in Fantasy Sports

    Very informative, I understand. In your opinion, would it be beneficial to me to put myself at the back of the line for Michael Barrett? My starting catcher is Johjima and I have no backup of value. I wouldn't do it. I would wait and maybe pick him up when/if he becomes a free agent. Ok, maybe I'll rescind my wavier request and pick him up if he makes it to FA. But my thinking was that I can't imagine anybody much better than Barrett being released on waivers, so I might as well lose my place in the waiver line for him. Is that thought process wrong? Why?

    If you could get Prior for Melvin Mora, I'd like to join that league. heh heh, I know. I offered him that trade in the hopes that he wants an everyday player for a pitcher who won't be back until May. But he is a huge Cubs fan too and I doubt he will do anything but laugh. That said, I still want to get my hands on Prior; I just need suggestions from fantasy vets about how to go about acquiring him.

    Also, I want to trade for Prior. What should I offer to get him? Is offering Melvin Mora too much?

    Thanks for the quick response. There are five teams with priority over me, but one of those is the girl who put Barrett on waivers. I know she's a Cubs fan, so maybe she got upset with his defense Tuesday and made a rash decision to dump him. Whatever, as long as I get him. Barrett and Johjima would be a nice catching combo for me. 8)

    This is my first year playing fantasy baseball and I'm in a Yahoo league that's updated weekly. I was perusing other rosters, and I noticed that Michael Barrett had a plus sign next to his name so I clicked on it. It meant that he was on waivers. So I obviously picked him up, and the next screen said: "If successful, this waiver claim will be reflected on your lineup for Monday, Apr 10" What's the process for waivers? Can the girl who put him on the waiver list take him back? What are the situations where I won't be able to get Barrett?

    I linked the 5 injuries above that don't include the Giles collision or the ball to the elbow, which were both freak injuries he had no control over. I think the Giles collision is also an indication of Prior's frail, injury-prone body based on the frequency he's been hurt from simply pitching. If the Giles collision and liner off his elbow were Prior's only two injuries, I would not cite his body as frail, but with the knowledge of his other body breakdowns, it's hard not to. Like the movie Unbreakable, Prior is more Elijah Prince than David Dunn. That said, he's still our best pitcher and Hendry shouldn't even consider trading him while under our control.

    Did Williamson always fall off the mound after release like Kerry Wood?

    Dunn can have 10 plays on ESPN's Not Top 10 segment. How embarrasing Dunn's defense is.

    Hilarious exchange between Pat and Ron. Ron complimented Pat on his attire, saying how nice his sweater matches with his slacks. Pat responds saying that he's always dressed to impress and Ron says, "No you're not. But today you are." :lol:

    Nice inning boys. Walker is the man.

    That's the first I've seen Cedeno's speed live. WOW.

    Z's almost at 100 on opening day. How much longer Dusty? Ohman now warming.
  14. bc2k
    Anyone else think the score graphic on the screen is too low? I think it should right near the top of the screen.
  15. bc2k
    IMO, no, but Santo said in the second inning that Z's not "on top of the baseball."
  16. bc2k
    What's our magic number? 163?
  17. bc2k
    Not many ever thought Z was better than Prior, I think the debate was who was better between Wood and Z.
  18. bc2k
    WHERE WAS THAT PITCH TO KEARNS!! CALL IT BLUE!!
  19. bc2k
    Santo's getting upset. 59 pitches thus far for Z.
  20. bc2k
    for Dunn? :lol: First ever winner at multiple positions. You heard it here first. Darin Erstad.

    and is actually older than Jessica Beal in real life. Interesting, I didn't know that.
  22. bc2k
    I really don't like that girl from Seventh Heaven. Not Jessica Beal, b/c she's smokin, but the younger one is not hot but thinks she is.

    Jones started in before recognizing it was hit over his head. Bad play.
  24. bc2k
    Holly would have had it.
