    Last year, Kinsler hit .286 with 14 HR and 11 SB in only 423 AB for the Rangers. Pecota projects him to 21 HR and 11 SB with a 285 avg. With the rest of my team, that will fit just fine.

    I really don't like this unless we resign Columbo too. Davis would be a good RG to take over for Rivera, but would be a downgrade at RT. I agree. I'd like to have Davis at guard and Columbo at tackle. I still think we have a decent shot at keeping Columbo.

    Most of the good SS left the board before I could pick one or they weren't good values when I was picking, so I waited until the end of the draft and gambled on Tulowitzski. I have Kinsler rated very highly. He plays for Texas which is a great hitters park and think he could be a 20/20 guy with a 280+ avg. He was under-rated by Yahoo's system and was able to take him late in the draft. Personally, I think he could be a top 5 2b for fantasy purposes. DeRosa is still available if Kinsler doesn't pan out.

    Ok, I took part in a live draft this morning. It's a Yahoo Public league.. Standard 5x5 roto. 12 teams. I had the 12th pick. I also ended up punting saves. A run on closers caused about seven to go off the board before I could choose one, so I went for dregs there. Here's how I did: C- Barrett 1b- Berkman 2b- Kinsler SS- Tulowitzski 3b- A. Ramirez OF- Carl Crawford OF- Dunn OF- Delmon Young Util- Frank Thomas SP- Zambrano SP- Sheets RP-Chad Cordero RP- Zumaya P- Rich Hill P- J. Schmidt P- Prior Bench- Ken Griffey - OF Chad Tracy- 3b Chuck James- P Matt Murton- OF David Weathers- RP

    I think they should lose just so they can start another 10 game winning streak. I don't think 3 is enough yet. Personally, I'd like to see them win out. :lol:

    Selig says controversy over the proposed deal with DirectTV is "ridiculous." Link.

    It's redemption time for the Cubs' left-hander. What better time to get the first win of the spring but against the White Sox. Go Cubs!

    I saw on a reliable Reds message board (Reds Zone) that it was announced on the Reds broadcast that Dustin Hermanson had signed a minor league deal with the Reds and will report on Monday. How many bullpen arms are the Reds going to accumulate?

    My guess is that Pendleton is being groomed to replace him.

    I see Bruce!!!!

    According to Randy Galloway of the Fort Worth Star Telegram, Sosa did not look good yesterday, but seems to have lost the "prima donna" persona that plagued him in Chicago. Link.

    I'm in as Explosive Diarrhea, but I thought this was going to be a roto scoring league when we drafted.
  20. vance_the_cubs_fan
    Done.

    You've got it.

    Before anyone jumps all over Rapada, it looked as if RH did the damage against him, and Rapada because of his delivery should never face a right-handed hitter.

    I base most of my evaluations on the player's history rather than spring training, but here are some things I'd like to see this spring. 1. Is Prior healthy and effective? If Prior has a good spring, I will feel really good about our chances. We've all seen what Prior can do when he's pitching well. I'd like to see indications that he's back. 2. Does Guzman have his velocity and curve back along with his control? I'd like to see that and know that we have a very good pitcher waiting in the wings. 3. Can Soriano handle CF? I'd like to see Soriano make the plays in CF, because if he can, it sets up the line-up.
