I didn't manually draft my team and I have one out of three that just plain sucks. Jeff Kent is #1 on that list!!\n\nWhat can you possibly do with a guy on the No Drop list that I doubt anyone would want? \n\nanyone else have this problem this year?

It would probably be easiest to just give the new teams a pick from the pool before the regular draft - basically, they'll act as teams that decided not to keep anyone. Depending on how you feel, you may want to give them first pick (in random order) before any other team that decides not to keep a player. In this case, they are not penalied for not being around the previous year (much like how expansion teams in the NFL get the #1 pick in the draft).

you should have dropped G. Anderson months ago.\n\nPrince Fielder is still available in your league, that is nuts.  Jose Lopez is great at 2nd base because he gets the Runs and Rbi's.  Both Maddux and Pettite suck this year.

The only good thing about Nomar is his eligibility at a couple infield positions. Next year, when he is only a first baseman, he will be practically worthless. As for this year, I think he will be a decent option in a league as deep as yours. But you do need to keep a daily watch on him to see if he has been hit with the injury bug again. \n\nDon't just drop him, because he's certainly worth a starting spot when healthy. Just plan to have a backup for those times when he isn't. Trading him would be difficult right now, because everyone will be gun-shy about him. If he can get a solid month of healthy play, you might want to deal him before he breaks again.

you should get rid of him sweetheart. yes he won the cy young award but he is not worth all the pain and anxiety. there are long stretches where he is terrible and has a bloated ERA. I drafted him in one league just for value since people like him, and I traded him for barry zito and then he went on the DL. im loving that deal right now!

Yes....they are.  Complete morons.  They picked a guy for their number one draft pick, who couldn't record a sack against three division three schools.  That is not a number one draft pick. Oh...and Reggie Bush was right there....but I guess Domanick Davis is the answer.  HHHHHAAAAA!

Josh Willingham should be easy to get.  If he is not available on the waiver wire, find the guy who has him and offer Dontrelle Willis.  It looks like Willis is having a down year, struggling mightily.  More than likely, the guy who has him will see Willis and think he is getting a steal, but...that is not the case.  Willingham is listed as a C/OF in most leagues.  You should be able to play him at catcher and fill that need even though he plays mostly outfield.\n\nStarting pitching...my first piece of advice here is to check the waiver wire and IF F. Liriano(Twins) is available, GRAB HIM!!  He is on his way to the rotation for the Twins and he will bring you a LOT of strikeouts and make up for the loss of Willis(if you trade him).  If he is not available...again, check the waiver wire.  There are a lot of good pitchers this year and I know there are some remaining on the waiver wire for you to pick up.  J. Washburn and J. Thomson come to mind.\n\nGood Luck.\n\nRe: Is this a good trade...ABSOLUTELY.  If you can pull that trade off, what a steal for you.  You will be very happy you made that trade come the end of the year.

Get rid of both of them, for if your league is a league like mine you need to have people playing no matter who they are.(but it help if they are better.)Here are some names that may be available that i pick up and drop occasionally: Derek Fisher, Kevin Martin, Keith van Horn, Swift (C for Seattle), Luther Head, Eddie Griffin(Blocks), Gary Payton, Kenny Thomas.aka /Always look for injured players subs who will play many minutes, minutes are the key, also look at who the coach favors, read team papers(in other words: DO YOUR HOMEWORK)It will payoff in the end and you will have a winning team.

Kristjan,  \n\nYou will not be seeing and injured list at Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball this season or likely any season in the future until the NBA goes through another rule change. \n\nPrior to the 2005-2006 season the NBA got rid of the Injured List in real life. Previously there were a number of conditions on injured list moves and restrictions on how long they had to be out etc. The NBA did away with all of that and instead increased the roster size of the teams. The theory being that if you had a couple of injured players you would still be able to put a competitive team out there due to the added men on the team. \n\nThe Yahoo! Fantasy Basketball structure is designed to mirror NBA rules in this manner, so before the last season Yahoo! also did away with the Injured List. Your league commissioner had the ability to adjust the number of bench spots available before the season started. I believe the default is three bench spots but your league commissioner could have set it higher to make up for the lack of an injured list. \n\nI appreciate the added level of difficulty this brings to the game, it is unfortunate to have to think about dropping a top player because he is injured, but take solace in the fact that all of your competitors have the same challenges.\n\nBest of luck.

Well the trade deadline is this Friday Nov 17th, for Yahoo anyways.. But Hell No man don't trade Brees ...he is awesome this year man passing more the 250 and 2 td's agame for the last 3 games. Try getting rid of McNair and Lewis for Delhomme and Chambers man...Or do this.. give him Mc Nair, Lewis ,Horn  and Bryant  for.. Delhomme, Chambers and Taylor..then go to the wavier wire man and pick up another wr like Evans or someone like that.

hey there sweetheart. i think what you gotta do is drop javier lopez because not only is he injury plagued but also he has little to no trade value. You should look on your waivers for Brian McCann, Atlanta Braves or Russell Martin, Dodgers. McCann is very consistent but if the Dodgers stick with Martin even after Navarro comes back, he is gold. \n\nYou should try and trade Willis only if you get another star pitcher in return, if you cannot do this, then keep him on your bench until he shows signs of success. Willis will be traded away to another team so this will only boost his value soon. Bonds is just not a great fantasy player unless you count walks. he also has low trade value so youre gonna have to replace him with someone on waivers. As for colon, trade him already, for anything that is decent. I thought i told you to get rid of him. the angels suck.\nIts also time to stop the marshall project. I dropped him after todays terrible performance. Once Wood, Prior and Wade Miller are back hes not going to stay unless he pitches good from now on.

Can't do it on Yahoo, all you can get is your place on the fantasy profile. They clear it out a few weeks after the season ends every year since I have been on the site. Best I can think to do is start a keeper league from now on.

Great job on the trades, I think you'll be doing fine.  FOr an 8 team league, you should probably get someone oterh than Johjima since you have Willingham who is doing very well hitting in front of Cabrera.  Maybe try trading him to a team that needs a catcher.  Johjima isn't doing so hot right now anyways.\n\nI think your 3B trade was okay but I think Ensberg will ahve better numbers in the end.  The other 2 trades were excellent.  I don't like Kent's chances this year of rebounding but you got Reyes which is good.\n\nBy the way, how does Mike Lowell count for 2B in your league?  That's crazy.

It depends a lot on what your fantasy league scoring/stat categories are, but assuming that they are fairly typical offensive categories (R,HR,RBI,BA or OBP, SB)\n\nBy pre-season rankings, Jeff Kent was ranked closest in value to Jeter, but a little lower, so you might have to throw someone else into a trade.\n\nJeter's been a solid performer so far this year, though - even better than projected, (probably one of the top 10 overall position players by overall ranking) and unfortunately Kent hasn't produced consistently this year, and the players on your roster aren't really of comparable value when you compare overall stats to Jeter head to head.\n\nThat said, the fairness of a trade in fantasy sports often has to do with the needs of both teams involved.  So, for example, if the team who has Jeter is in need of strength in a particular category, say HR, for example, and you feel your team needs Runs, then Konerko might be an even trade, since Jeter is a top-20 Runs guy, and Konerko is a top-20 HRs guy.  The best way to make the trade fair is to look at what stat categories are weak for each team and to try to balance the trade to pick up strength for each.

I've emailed yahoo fantasy basketball plenty of times and they have told me absolutly nothing I wanted to hear except it's due to heavy volume of people joining the leagues, and techincal glitches. I told myself I wasn't going to purchase this garbage this year but I did it anyway and Im not getting my moneys worth once again. I'm frustrated just like you and I will continue to write these people until the problem is resolved.  Sorry for your troubles too!

the player you're dropping is in a pending transaction. either cancel the pending trade you have proposed or drop a different player.\n-nny
