He is great.  His team really responds to him.  You can really tell the difference between Ozzie and someone like dusty baker.  Dusty does not talk to his team.  no one knew who was the second base man.  Ozzie comes right out and tells his team.  This is how it is.  It makes a huge difference.  Just think about when Jerry Manuel was the sox coach.  Frank Thommas, said he had no idea what was going on.  Was he playing first base.  was he the DH.  it makes a huge difference to know what the team is expecting of you.

I'd take a flyer on Martin or Napoli, the rookies who are putting up betters numbers than any of the others.  Ride Napoli while he's hot.  The thing about cathchers is you can always pick up an average one from the wire, so unles syou are coming up to a pick-up deadline, or you have a limit in your league, just pick the hot hand.   A month ago that was Ross, but he seems to have cooled off, and I didn't expect him to last.   I personally think Martin will continue to hit for average, but Naoli will cool off.    I've got Johjima and Willingham, who I think are good bets, better than the rest, but Napoli and Martin are doing better now, so why not take them?  After those I'd take Estrada.

Dont go for guys like Brandon Phillips or earlier in the year Jason Smith because they r not guys who will put up great numbers for long.I'd put Clemens on the bench.that's what i did because i have him. u have 2 many guys on the bench!!!!Chris Burke should not be the Util player. Put someone like Alou or atleast Rios at Util. Espiacially take advantage of Rios being hot right now!!!!! DO NOT BENCH HIM!!!!!!!\nC Javy Lopez-I know, u want 2 trade him because he's not producing right now, but I have him for a reason, he'll start hitting.(He better!)\n1B-Paul Konerko-Good. Exept for David Ortiz, Jim Thome, and Albert Pujols, he the best.\n2B-Brandon Phillips-Get a Jose Vidro or Josh Barfield, even those guys r goin 2 b better.\nSS-Orlando Cabrera-Your choice, I'd trade him in a package deal with someone like Jason Marquis $ Joe Crede and get a guy like Kevin Mench.\n3B-Joe Crede-Trade\nKent and Overbay keep\nJermaine Dye and Chad Tracy might want 2 hit the bench. Alu and Rios workin.\nUtil-Burke-Drop\nYour Bench is VERY good.(for a bench)\nOnce Lee and Griffey start playin, ull be hard 2 beat.\nEspiacially with that good pitching!

brian roberts: is he going to be able to go for the first part of the season?  you could shift freel to 2nd and grab another outfielder (one with power... are raul ibanez or geoff jenkins available?)  cabrera is a great hitter, so is his teammate jeremy hermida.  but the marlins will struggle to score... LOVE mike young and aramis ramirez.  sean casey could surprise!\n\ni like your pitching staff, rodriguez is going to be the best in the game very soon. valverde... hmm, we'll see. i do think vazquez and zito will bounce back... in fact the whole A's team feels good to me.  take a look at dan haren if he's available.\n\nhope they work out for you... 1 more day!

Honestly, and I don't say this much about Pujols, but yes. Does the team who offered that to you have Matt Holliday? If he/she does, then take it. Holliday will drive in 120 runs and hit 35 homers, and you know what the other guys will do. That is as very fair trade, because it is upgrading your entire team. having a poor OF sucks, and can cause lost points.However, if they can't accept a trade which would bring YOU 3 players, and they get ONLY Pujols, don't do it.

Well, there's 162 games in a season and your team looks stacked to me.  Delgado is warming up, Pudge started out well, Sheffield always takes a little time, Manny is getting hot....Pitching looks well rounded.  I would let it ride to be honest.  You'll win soon and I don't think you'll stop.

Get rid of Clemens and Spahn and take Juan Marichal.  That gives you 2 lefty's and 3 righty's and a good combination of pitchers.

so how 'bout cc tonight?  (i have him too.)\n\nbenitez is out, dude... fernando rodney (det) might get some save while todd jones is hurt... love cantu, if you win he'll be a bigger part of your success than beltre or konerko will... think you might need a bit more outfield speed if stolen bases is a category, someone like aaron rowand or luis matos available? womack and hunter may be enough to carry you... i'm high on ervin santana too, in 2007...beckett will be huge... drop matheny get johjima (sea) or willingham (fla) as a backup catcher... looks like a winner overall!

Burnett will soon go on the DL.  Replace him with a pitcher with good strikeout potential.  Bedard or Cabrera of Baltimore, Escobar of the Angels, Oliver Perez or Justin Verlander are some good ones.  Drop Padilla NOW.  A bad pitcher pitching in a bad pitching park will hurt you.  Wakefield could also be dropped if needed.  Your offense isn't bad.  Granderson of Detroit might be a good replacement for Casey.  He has the ability to steal 20 or more bases and hit 20 or more home runs.  And I would start Freel over Drew.

Well, to be honest, I have mixed feelings. The As are coming off a good season and I am happy to have someone with playoff experience. Yet, I wish we had someone who had been a MLB manager before.

i would give you a 10 but you have A.J.PIERZYNSKI so i gave you a 9. DROP HIM AND TRY TO PICKUP ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:\n1. willingham (c/of) for the marlins\n2. martinez (c) for the indians\n3. mauer (c) for the twins\n4. mcann (c) for the braves if he is not hurt

I just saw your team and you don't need Cano who is the same as Castillo and Garland isn't a great pitcher. U have good pitchers, but not great pitchers, so trade Helton for Tejada cause Guillen sucks. and trade Hafner for Peavy or Santana or another great pitcher.

I disagree if anything you can afford to trade speed.  Weeks, Granderson and Sizemore are all SB threats.  You could move one for some power, or drop Wilson for a more productive OF. Maybe trade Howard for a more experienced bat as well. I love your pitching.  Don't think I'd drop anybody when Liriano finally moves into rotation.

I would give your team an 8.  Posada's not a top tier catcher anymore. Ortiz and A-Rod will put up monster numbers, Utley puts up great numbers for 2B, Jeter puts up some of the best stats for a SS, Matsui is a keeper, Griffey is questionable because of his injury problems, Giles numbers have been down in recent years, Santana is a dominant pitcher with little run support, Beckett's WHIP and ERA will jump a little going into the AL, Johnson will have solid numbers, Colon is questionable, and Rivera is still great.  You seem to be lacking in stolen bases, you might trade Colon for a pitcher with better WHIP and ERA, and you need another RP.

Yes a few. First thing you do, put david Wright in for Glaus, don't know why you haven't already. Next, put bay in for Gomes or Ichiro, you're call. Next, you want to trade away Glaus Swisher and Gomes or Ichiro For some pitching and a hitter in return. You're hitting is great but you're pitching needs work, so you should trade right now. You're elivers are getting you no where so get someone good. But the team looks good really

Team A BY FAR!!! This guy has 3 definite 1st round picks with Manny, Vladdy, and Johan.  A few potential 2nd round guys with Utley, Lidge, Oswalt, Sheffield and Hafner.  This guy's team basically made his team in the first two rounds. A few others players that I didn't mention are on fire on his team with Wagner, Fielder, Dunn, Vizquel, Ensberg, Willingham! THEYRE ALL ON FIRE! The worst player on his team is Bonderman and thats saying something.  AND MADDUX! You can't compare these two teams.

Catcher- Solid (but get a backup just in case he gets injured)\nFirst Base- Top 3 at his position, DO NOT LET GO OFF\nSecond Base- Solid, keep him too\nShortstop- Potential AL MVP\nThird Base-Good for 20-25hr,90rbi (only because he will get most of this at Coors)\nOutfield-Bonds is a huge hit or miss, Holliday is kinda in line with that "Coors Effect" and Rowand is a good player, but you can find better\nUtility- 2 slugging 1B in Fielder and Thome (keep them)\nBench-Vidro is a top 10 2b (keep him too)\nStarting Pitching-WISH I HAD YOUR PITCHERS!!! (DO NOT TRADE)\nPitchers-Loaiza is OK. Capuano is a question mark (better hope he repeats last year). Calero is a nice middle reliever. Clemens (you should see his situation) should keep if he decides to come back. Jones is on the DL right now, so you should find another closer to replace him. Wagner is one of the best at what he does, so he should stay. Last but not least, Garland is a great pitcher
