    drop Rocco obviously. pick up Milledge if you can.
  2. sneakypower
    if Lou put Derosa in the leadoff spot this board would be leaping for joy, odd since he has the same career OBP as Theriot.
  3. sneakypower
    who said that was the only reason for pursuing LH hitters?
  4. sneakypower
    his road OPS, the only statistic that matters IMO, is 641 for his career.

    If the Cubs HAD signed Lincecum (47th rd pick in the 2003 draft), the Cubs we wouldn't be yearning about trading for him.....But doing that what if is a slippery slide. Going that route, you could also say "What if the Cubs signed Khalil Greene?" oh man we'd have won six world series titles by now and we'd all be sick of winning.

    which is what you see Zach Duke, Doug Davis, Capuano do to us year after year. i'm not advocating getting lefties like Jacque Jones and Fonenot in the lineup, but I think it helps quite a bit to have a couple LH hitters who can hold their own vs. LHP in the lineup.

    is there a prize given to posters for derailing threads with petty personal squabbles? it certainly would explain a lot.
  8. sneakypower
    :roll:
  9. sneakypower
    You could make the argument that a lack of LH bat in the lineup contributed to that at least a little bit.

    don't play a C at Util. what a colossal waste, trade one for a slugger.
  11. sneakypower
    oh golly if we added khalil greene we'd have the best lineup in the history of the game!
  12. sneakypower
    seriously, I have no clue what he was trying to do.
  13. sneakypower
    The Titans have a case of Marinelliitis where they only recognize FAs that used to play for the Colts. Better team to emulate than the Bucs though.

    hamilton = jason bay
  15. sneakypower
    thats a shame
  16. sneakypower
    using college stats to gauge a running backs talent level?
  17. sneakypower
    I've always liked Lloyd. He and Matt Jones are the only receivers in the league who are more adept at one-handed catches than two-handed catches.
  18. sneakypower
    if you mean soto and towles, i'd do it. otherwise, there's probably not decent options out there.
  19. sneakypower
    wow it really doesn't take much to offend people these days.
  20. sneakypower
    OBP punishes players for productive outs
  21. sneakypower
    Lowrie's more 2B than SS.
  22. sneakypower
    No, it's just a standard C, 1b, 2b, ss, 3b, lf, cf, rf, util offense and sp, sp, sp, rp, rp, p, p pitching. McCann, Pena, Drew are just bench players on my roster (Pena will likely DH but you get the point). I can't say why some of the players were ignored, but the ADPs were definitely affected by the dynasty league setting, only being a 10-team league and also that the categories aren't 5x5: R, HR, RBI, SB, K, BA, OBP, SLG & W, L, SV, K, ERA, WHIP I'm guessing Pena fell because of the strikeouts and fears of regression? RF is incredibly deep, but Hawpe slipping that far was a big shock, and I don't think catchers were properly valued. I already had drafted Mauer, but I didn't want another owner to luck into McCann with a late pick. He's great trade bait for me now. As for the dynasty part, I had kept Gallardo for lack of better options, so he was technically "drafted" within the first 5 rounds, as were 20 other pitchers, many of who don't normally warrant such draft position. So that played a part in other players slipping below where you'd accept them. I had a few gambles in waiting on guys pay off well, and a couple didn't. I lost out on Kemp and Bonderman by waiting too long.

    OK so I just drafted for my keeper league turned dynasty league and am estatic with the results. 1st 5 rounds of the draft were for the keepers, 3 offense & 2 pitchers. Rounds shown in parentheses, keepers denoted by italices: C - Joe Mauer(6), Brian McCann (10) 1B - Albert Pujols, Carlos Pena (12) 2B - Brandon Phillips SS - Rafael Furcal (8), Stephen Drew (23) 3B - Ryan Zimmerman (9), Alex Gordon (14) LF - Matt Holliday, Carlos Gomez (17) CF - Chris B. Young (7), Cameron Maybin (15) RF - Brad Hawpe (20), Jeremy Hermida (13) SP - Johan Santana, Yovani Gallardo, Tim Lincecum (11), Matt Cain (16), Clay Buchholz (18), Dustin McGowan (21) RP - Joakim Soria (19), Brian Wilson (22) I was thrilled to have Lincecum, McGowan, Hawpe, Soria fall as far as they did. McCann I'll probably trade for a kings ransom to the poor sap that drafted Johjima. I'm leaning towards doing a Cain for Raffy Soriano swap, since I'd rather not have two Giant pitchers on the same roster, with the league counting W & L, those categories will be too badly sabotaged. And a top flight closer is the only thing I seem to be missing. As it stands, my team entered into the adjusted league settings in Meph's spreadsheet I'm projected for 92 pts- 1st place by a scant margin. But the oldest player on my roster is 30, so I have a good core to start with for the next few seasons.

    the upshot is that Juan Gonzalez is more likely now to get a roster spot and steal ABs from players who are less awful.
  25. sneakypower
    bonderman's problem is the 1st inning. he's the new john burkett.
