    Sit/Start Week 1

    imb replied to imb's topic in Fantasy Sports

    I'm not sure what to expect from Orton this year, but it seems like the Broncos will run too much for him to put up many points. Jets D is scary, but the Cowboys should be explosive this year, so I'd take Romo. It just seems like every year, I [expletive] up one week by starting a guy against NYJ or Baltimore when I shouldn't have.

    Romo at the Jets or Orton against Oakland? I'm leaning toward Orton.

    In case anyone is curious how the guys we got for Fukudome fared with us this year, the answer is ... not good http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=smith-007car http://www.baseball-reference.com/minors/player.cgi?id=abreu-001abn

    You have the right pitcher but are off by one year. are the people that voted koufax over maddux aware of what offense was like in 1995?

    What a blast. It's so good to have football back.
  7. imb
    which direction?

    I've pushed it back until Tuesday, if that helps anyone?

    Any word on Sczur?

    Why do people keep saying this? It's one thing to say they didn't improve the team, but that's not the same as taking a step back. Who exactly did they lose that would help support this statement? They have an aging defense and I highly doubt that they're going to be as healthy as they were last year. I think that's a fair statement. It's a misinformed statement. They failed to take a step forward, no doubt. But they didn't take a step back talent-wise. That's just silly. They played above their heads last year and are basically the same team. How is that not a step back?

    Like I said, I like Upton, and I'd be ok with him as long as we get big upgrades elsewhere, but I am definitely not excited about giving him 5/60 if Kemp is going for like 8/150 or just whatever.

    i try to look at how his knees react to a breaking ball

    Hopefully we can get them together. Like the Wayans brothers.

    I actually have a soft spot for Upton, but come on. He's a better fielder, but his only consistency with the bat is that it's consistently worse than Kemp's. I'm fine with Upton as a fall back or something, but he doesn't really get me excited, unless he's going to repeat 2007, which looks like a fluke now. If we sign Kemp, he's probably in a corner (with Jackson in CF) anyway. I don't want to end up with a Jackson, Upton, Colvin OF because we wanted to save 7 million a season or whatever.

    Meh on actually going out and getting Matt Kemp. COF pretending to be a CF so he can get CF money. It's not even that he's not a good or very good player, but I think the Cubs can do better. In fact, I see that BJ Upton is a FA in the same season as Kemp. Now that's a CF that plays CF extremely well year in and year out, and he's got a bat himself. Kemp is the better offensive player, but I don't think the gap is so overwhelmingly huge. Plus if you're paying for a CF, why not pay for someone who's really good at playing CF defensively? yes, the offensive gap is overwhelmingly large

    Why not start it now? Manningham at the Skins or Stevie Johnson at KC?

    Rate my team?

    imb replied to Castro13's topic in Fantasy Sports

    I'm dumb, that should have been obvious. I keep forgetting Ricky Williams is still in the league. I like Ray Rice a lot this year, I'm less bullish on Hillis, even though he saved my ass last year. Like, I said, I'm not big on Colston. The Saints spread it around and he always seems nicked up to me. I don't know. I actually like Moeaki, but I wonder what other TEs were there when you took him? I kind of get the feeling that your team should have one more big name in the starting lineup, but judging 12-team leagues is tough.

    Next time you see her, ask her to let you know when Coletti is coming in for his interview, and then let me know. I'll place a call to Wekse and Yeti and this will all be taken care of.

    I named my team the Shower Farts after we did our draft in a room with no air conditioning and my cousin kept ripping wet ones.
