Instead of having a million threads lets just do this...

My first team tonight...

5X5 Head to Head with only 7 inning minimum pitch limit (which is why I drafted 5 closers, thinking I could easily win Saves,Era and Whip most weeks)

14 Teams

C- Yadier Molina
1B- Ryan Howard
2B- Brandon Phillips
SS- Stephen Drew
3B- Mark Reynolds
LF- Adam Dunn
CF- Carlos Gonzalez
RF- Justin Upton
Util- Julio Borbon
Bench- Jay Bruce
Bench- Lastings Milledge

SP- Brett Anderson
SP- Francisco Liriano
RP- Jonathan Broxton
RP- Trevor Hoffman
P- Leo Nunez
P- Heath Bell
P- Mike Gonzalez
Bench - Colby Lewis
Bench - Wade Davis
Bench - Clay Bucholz

I understand my SP is very weak, but like I said, only 7 innings minimum, But I think I could still use another decent SP... May try to target someone like Gallardo or Lester.

Your starting pitching is going to kill you. Other than that, your offense looks solid and you've got a sh*t ton of closers.

Hitting is weak-ish for a ten teamer....but I think if you get one break-out among the young hitters and one break-out among the SP....you have a solid team.

I understand the catcher axiom, but in this case it was the 13th overall pick and the only other option was Wright (I never take an ace first pick). I dont trust Wright one bit in the new park and Mauer is almost a shoo-in for solid numbers at a very shallow position. Furthermore, its rumored that new Target Field will play into lefties even more than the old one, so we shall see.

****....owned on the spelling.

1) Wright > Mauer. No question about it.

2) The problem with drafting Mauer in the first is that you are basically paying for his career best in every cat.

[TexasHeat]

Can't believe anyone would think Wright is better than Mauer....

mind=blown

Mauer had a career best year yes, but he is about to hit the magic age of 27, which means he is entering his prime.. I have no fear that last year was a career year.

10 hr/72 rbi in 535 at bats makes me much more apprehensive to take Wright in the first round. I think he will bounce back, but its still very speculative as to how much. If he renounced his line drive hitter stance then perhaps he can acclimate his power better to the new park, but I still think the end result will be less prolific than before the move. Not to mention his SB's are too inconsistent to bank on.

LOL....fantasy folk have short memories. DW went into last season as the consensus #3 pick. This isn't a guy who had just one or even two good years.

LOL @ Mauer bein 27. Care to look at how old Wright is?

[thefullmonte]

My good you two.....look at the career lines for these two. Seriously. Mauer also had a couple of fairly unsustainable peripherals.

Would rather have Mauer at the Catching spot than waste a 1st round pick on a guy "who might bounce back" after a horrendus 10homer/72 rbi year.

Would rather take Mauer and then grab a 3rd baseman like Chris Davis who has been on fire in spring training.

[TexasHeat]

My good you two.....look at the career lines for these two. Seriously. Mauer also had a couple of fairly unsustainable peripherals.

I didn't bring up the age because I thought he was younger than Wright is... I brought it up because Mauer is 26 about to turn 27, and 27 is usually the age guys enter their primes and really start to blossom. People have always though Mauer would develop power, so I see no reason why he would regress back to 10 home runs.

I have more faith in Wright returning to his career numbers than I do of Mauer repeating his career best numbers.


Also....take into account health and games/plate appearances.

This isn't even a question

Decent team with upside. I'd really like to see you upgrade either 3B or 2B. I don't mind Andrus as the SS this year at all.

If I where you I might think about moving Berkman or Morneau or Crawford to try and round out that IF

Yeah I planned on definitely using Morneau or Berkman as trade bait. Im hoping Davis can pull it off, but I still keep relying on him too much to fill the void at 3rd down in the draft.

Edit: If lopez can reproduce close to the same results TWO years ago I would be content...

I'd actually see about moving Morneau for another starter. I think Cantu is a decen UTIL replacement. Target a guy that needs a CI and target his #2
