I like paying for fantasy baseball
I usually sign up at TSN.com.
I'll vouch for CBS.
The messiness of Yahoo pushed us over the edge last year.
And as Evan above me pointed out, playing for money -- even a tiny amount -- makes things a lot better. We pay $20 a year (after CBS fees). With that -- and letting guys keep a few players from year to year -- you can keep more people from quitting early.

I dunno
Maybe
Personally I'd go with Orlando Cabrera since he ought to have good trade value if you don't want a short stop as your Util IFer. Or Maine if you're worried about pitching depth.
Hmmm...

I'd hold on to Reyes
I'd go with
i concur
Yeah
I must have a high draft pick though, this team must have finished last haha. And I know Felix is going to be unprotected....
I'm thinking:
Reyes
Lincecum
Cano
Rios
Sheets
Maine
by MarinerintheDistrict on Feb 13, 2008 1:55 PM PST up reply actions
I wouldn't keep Maine
yeah but
besides reyes and lincecum.
by MarinerintheDistrict on Feb 13, 2008 3:54 PM PST up reply actions
well
I think you might be underrating cano and overrating lincecum if you would keep lincecum over cano.
You have some fringe players like Francouer, Rios, and Pence that someone else might be willing to acquire in a package for a solid keeper- I would explore that route too if you haven't already.
ide keep pence over maine
My advice
I'm a bit higher on Maine than others, thanks to a K/9 over 8. Couple it with his durability, and he's a solid bet going forward. Nothing spectacular, but solid.
Oh, and the whole national league thing.
So:
Lincecum
Jose Reyes
Pence
Cano
Maine
Sheets
The guy I'm more worried about is Rios. I keep thinking you can grab corner defenders w/power in early in your draft. You're already getting a CF with plus power in Pence.
Let's see
If your league is deep at all, I'd keep Pence. He's young and seemingly very talented, so he's only going to get better.
Cano cos he's a second baseman, and due to his lineup should always rack up runs and RBI.
It's Sheets' contract year. I'd hold onto him to see if he can somehow motivate himself to stay healthy.
Rios is some good.
I'd go

I'd keep
In auction leagues, you really want to emphasize keeping guys who are huge bargains. You ought to be able to get guys like Wright and Ortiz back for basically the same price as you have them now, but there's no way you would get Lincecum for $3, Gallardo for $1, etc.

I, unlike most of the idiots who fuck with you, am not an out-'n'-out moron who doesn't comprehend the complexities of sabermetrics (a.k.a., SABR). Hell, if push came to shove around here, then I'd throw down some analytical knowledge -- as well as cite a few peripheral statistics for good measure -- thus, there's no need to hate on me.
Hell, that's got cut me some slack.
At any rate, though, I'm undoubtedly your most challenging opposition. Shit, without the Joker, Batman wouldn't be the world-renowned icon that he is today. You, I, and most folks who frequent this place know that to be a fact.

Drafting strategies
Are you guys looking at BABIP and trying to guess who's due for serious regression/bounceback?
And how do you rank your top 10 picks? How early are you willing to draft Santana given the switch to the JV league?
i think
The only one of the three you mentioned that i would worry about a drop off for is Pence. Braun's value will go down next year if he is no longer 3rd base eligible, but for this year I think he is a safe bet. PECOTA projects him at about 60 VORP. Tulowitzki is a safe bet with huge upside because he is a SS, even if he doesn't improve from here on out he is an above average offensive SS.
The more I look at things, the more I think I would be willing to draft Santana #1 overall under the right circumstances. The difference between him and everyone else could be enormous, and there really are very few SP worth drafting at all. But that relies heavily on the league format and many other factors. I would not draft him #1 in a vanilla 5x5 league, for example, or even in the first round.

Being in "leagues with each other"
I'm drafting Felix #1 overall! Then I'm drafting Bedard, Ichiro, Putz, Beltre, Kenji, Ibanez, Yuni... in that order. And then Adam Jones.

1 spot left
Hey Baker
Also, on that note, if anyone else is interested in joining Baker's league....
Don't worry
Hey look! 12 teams!
One draft down
and the next two are going to be WAY more painful (16 and 20 teams)
as for this draft... Stolen Bases is a stupid stat anyway!
should have taken willits when you had the chance
I give my draft a B+
I think I have a solid all around squad that can hang in there in every category.
You yourself have a pretty solid top of the lineup, AND you got JJ.
How would you grade my team?
C - Soto
1B - Teixeira
2B - Weeks
3B - Braun
SS - C. Guillen
OF - Sizemore
OF - Markakis
OF - C. Hart
DH - Francoeur
BN - Loney
BN - M. Bourn
BN - C. Rasmus (super sleeper...another power+speedy guy)
SP - Verlander (Cy Young - book it)
SP - Oswalt (yeah, I know, but I got him as a value pick)
SP - R. Hill
SP - Cain
SP - Billingsley
RP - BJ Ryan
RP - B. Wilson
RP - Neshek
RP - Broxton
I'm a hardass so I'd give it a B
The hitters are alright, nothing I'd consider blowaway great, decent power guys with Teixeira, Markakis (who you think will be a beast this year) and Francoeur, plus Sizemore to produce runs, some power and SB. I know I said the sophomore jinx isn't what it used to be, but I still have my doubts about Braun's 2nd season matching his 1st. You're banking otherwise, so if I'm wrong there, you profit. That's why they play the games, right?
I think your lineup will be solid, plus the young guys on the bench are low cost high reward guys. You'll be competitive at worst, but as with any team, with things breaking right your team will be dangerous.
Thanks Gomez
In regards to my hitters? I've developed a strategy last year to go for guys that do all-around production, and it worked! So that's why I'm stick to guys like Sizemore, Markakis, Hart, Braun, to some degree, Weeks, etc.
And my pitching is loaded with high K/9 potential...as that seems to be the key to winning H2H. I also utilized strong setup man to avoid blowing picks on injury prone CLs.
Trade edit
I actually think Felix, attitude and all, is gonna break out huge this year, and I don't mean hives. Add in the home parks, and I'd say Felix can produce more K's, wins and better ERA/WHIP than Oswalt.
Cain is fantasy fodder, a decent arm working under the specter of that awful Giants club. At least your league doesn't penalize losses.
And Kent is whatever, but he'll be an upgrade over Weeks, who is the Brewers' Jose Lopez in terms of his potential vs performance.
Weeks
F- I'M KIDDING, I'M KIDDING
Your rotation is about Vasquez and his quality innings and high K rate fronting... a bunch of meh. Your closers will help a bit with K's, WHIP and ERA, but only so much. How your pitching does will hinge on how Escobar rebounds from his injury. If he's your standard Kelvim, your pitching will be solid in the ERA and WHIP categories (a healthy Escobar IS pretty solid), but if he flatlines or never quite recovers, you better hope you find a miracle on the waiver wire, because Wainwright and Lilly are filler, plus I see Blanton regressing.
Overall, C+/B-.
Trade pending...

by Jeff Sullivan on Mar 8, 2008 4:44 PM PST up reply actions
Okay, FINALLY getting around to it
Sabathia and Oswalt are solid SPs and Perez will rack up the K's, plus the mix for the last two spots isn't bad at all. Nathan is a stud closer, but Weathers lost his closer job when Fatcrisco signed with the Reds, and Moylan's got to hope that Raffy's arm stays sore AND he overshadows the other options. HOWEVER, if this is a league that counts holds, then these are good options, and having one closer thus isn't bad. Two would have been best, though, with one middle relief or setup guy in the other RP slot, as many GMs probably aren't going to have a grasp on the holds category.
Ultimately I'd give it a C+... good mix in both pitching and hitting that should remain competitive in most categories and produce a good average, rack up some wins, K's and runs... but outside of Morneau, Braun and Young it's light overall on comparative power (not weak but a little light; other teams may have more power hitters at more positions), a couple of slots were punted (like Yuni at SS), you could use stolen bases, and with a roster this deep you should have another catcher as backup, plus one more closer.

Lots of risks
The staff is roughly solid, with Santana and Chris Young doing most of the damage, plus I'm sure Blanton won't be bad. Weaver and Arroyo are meh and who knows how Scott the Drunk will pan out, but you could do worse. If the average team has 1-2 closers, you'll be fine with just Mo but I would feel more comfortable with two closers here. Heath Bell, Delcarmen and EOF are good for holds if they're counted, and helping lower WHIP and ERA.
I'd give it a C+, lower only because of all the question marks in the lineup and for the shortness in the bullpen, but the other pitching is solid and there's reliable talent in the lineup that will produce for you in all categories.
Power galore
Lots of young and/or speculative guys in the rotation. As long as they pick up where they left off, you'll be in good shape, and even if some don't it appears you have enough SPs that you'll still put together a solid rotation. You may get owned in the K's category since you have decent but no big time K guys, but you should be strong in the other categories, especially wins as most of these guys are on decent teams. As for saves, you'll have an uphill battle, as Wilson's untested and on a meh team (though Benoit is good insurance), Kerry Wood is hurt AGAIN and we'll see about Wilson. But as closers and relievers do, they'll help your ERA and WHIP, and K/9 if that's counted.
Still, this is a decent team thanks to the heavy power. I give it a B.
Isn't it a rule of fantasy baseball
Yeah, it seems that way.

Baseball sim help!
I play strat-o-matic baseball and just joined a league where each owner picks a franchise to control (GM and game manager). We play with the previous seasons stats so our first year will be the 2007 season. I have the Mariner franchise (and since we are starting with the 2007 season I don't get Bedard). We are going to draft from four franchises that were not selected but other wise you get who was on the roster and in future years any rookies that are called up to your team.
Now...I know about Hernandez, Balentien...I also get to keep Adam Jones and Sherrill (they were traded right?). What I would like to know from the devoted Mariner fans is what is on the horizon regarding pitching? Are there any decent pitching prospects in AA or AAA? Because after Hernandez, Washburn and Batista there ain't a whole lot as far as starting pitching as you all probably know:) Hopefully I will be able to draft some better pitching (good chance I might be able to get Meche back:) but because the Mariners did reasonably well in 07 I am looking at around a 13th, 14th pick. In future posts I will be asking about some players on my roster and whether I should keep them or not and will keep you all up to date on somewhat of a Mariner alternate baseball universe:) Thanks.

My closers are shaky, but I've been burned too many times by closers to spend high picks on them and will just piece together a decent amount of saves from these guys and the free agent pool. I've been able to do that the past couple years and come out in the top 3 or 4 in saves.
