How would you rate my fantasy baseball team?
346692
Well I'm also currently playing yahoo fantasy baseball and I'm loving it. But about your team, I'd give it a C- for a few reasons. The main reason is you've taken on some major headache players. What I mean by that is most of your team is made up of players that have been plagued with injuries their whole career and could easily all go down this year at least once. You also have a few problems with your pitching staff. Oswalt and Smoltz are solid and are wonderful players to have on your team. but wakefield bonderman and mussina are really no good. Mussina is alright but should not be a #3 starter. Cordero is a great reliever that will get alot of saves, but cordero wont get you many points if your other relievers are farnsworth and wakefield. I suggest you either trade for another reliver or get one that is probably in the free agent market, like Jonathon Papelbon. If Armando Benitex goes down again pick up Tim Worrel. And now to your hitters. AJ Pierzinski in my opinion is waaaaay over rated. He's is no a good hitter who will lower your average alot. Carlos Delgado is a great first baseman, but with Konerko as a backup, I suggest you trade Delgado for a good outfielder which you should be able to get seeing as Delgado is just slightly over rated. Roberts is a great player who should not be traded unless you are offered a spectacular deal, which is likely not to happen because roberts is very under rated. Jones is a great third baseman that you shouldn't have traded, espcially because you can't you Thome because you already have two good first baseman, You should have kept Jones. But now that you have Thome, you should trade him while he's hot and his stock is up. Brad Wilkerson is an OK player that will produce OK numbers, but don't expect anything more out of him. Edmonds is good but his greatest asset, his fielding, doesn't even matter in fantasy baseball. Garret Anderson is OK and sure produce some okay numbers. I'd also say that you're bench is good, except for Preston wilson who is only good for homers which is the one thing you don't need. You should try to trade him for some speed. Try to get a player like Rickie Weeks for him. Hope I could halp, Michael.

Are you looking at a trade involving these players?  If so, I'm not so sure that I'd pull the trigger on it.  Who else do you have for a catcher?  There are not a lot of good catchers out there.  Barrett is suspended, but has hit fairly well this year.  Sexson and Ensberg are worth keeping because they can produce pretty well.  Iguchi is a decent player, but I'm not so sure that I would keep him.  I don't know much about Atkins or Soler.\n\nShelton has only hit 4 or 5 home runs in the past couple of months, with the number of solid 1B in baseball, you can probably find better numbers from a different 1B.  Hall is a good grab because of his versatility, you can play him at a number of positions.  Phillips and Lopez have been playing well, as has Zimmerman.  Feliz has gotten some good playing time and produced fairly well this year.  I'm a little hesitant with Castillo because he hasn't played as well lately, though he is good for some speed numbers.\n\nI hope this has helped at least a little bit.

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.

ok these guys are a little off.  Helton finally has people hitting behind him.  Howard has struggled a little.  This is his first full year, he will struggle at times.  He IS a stud, but helton is a super stud.  Helton will give you average, power, rbis and TONS of runs, remember he is like pujols minus 10 hrs.  He will hit .330 with 30 hrs and 45 doubles, with high on base.  TONS of Runs scored.  Do the trade unless it is a keeper league.  Helton is the man and he has some young studs batting behind him.  Howards bats 5th with noone behind him.  Helton is a much safer pick

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.

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.

You posted this question before, right?  This is a terrific team no one can forget!\n\nI give it 9 out of 10.  Suggestions are: (a) You have to many bench hitters, trade for SP instead (b) There is not enough speed in your team.

Pretty good.  I say 8 out of 10.  I don't know what's your league settings but you guys seems ot play a lot of players.\n\nYou might want to get a better SS if you have someone to trade out.\n\nYour SPs could be a problem, basically, they don't draw wins.  Seattle and Nationals are bad.  Liriano is not starting and Twins are bad this year too.  I can see that you are focusing on SV, ERA and WHIP, but there is always a good chance the ERA and WHIP will burst with few pitching innings.  Just be careful.

YES!!!\n\nRyan Zimmerman is a great player to rack up points in ur fantasy league. Brandon Inge is a good defensive player and is on the best team in the MLB.

I think that you have a pretty solid team. You have a LOT of depth in starting pitching, and some pretty decent bats. One suggestion that I would make is to upgrade at 2B. Use one of your starters, or package a starter with Brian Roberts if need be, and try to get one of the top 2B, maybe Alfonso Soriano. Hope that helps.

You're getting Vlad, Kearns, and Varitek who are good. I'm not too familiar with Ramirez and Moyer.  Vlad is better than Bay but Kearns isn't quite as good as Holliday. I would do it.  Also fantasy baseball is only a year long so who cares about the young kids get the old guys who produce good numbers

well, Gordon and Suzuki are no where close to Lackey and Cordero, and since you said you have 4 outfielders, I guess you are set. You are gonna hurt a lil in AVG and Hits, but if Ichiro has another off year lik '05, you'll end up looking like a very smart man. Gordon is nothin but a set-up man. If your league counts Holds as a category then he's fine, but other than that K/9 and ERA is about it.... You come off on top.

Very good team, good enough to clinch top 3 seeds in playoff.\n\nYour team kind of lacks speed and runs.  You might want to trade Kevin Mench.  I know how good he is, but he is batting sixth.  Get someone batting first or second to get you some SBs and Rs.

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!

I say jump on Jon Lester 1st & Jered Weaver 2nd.  I know Weaver has been sent down, but he'll be back into the Angels rotation soon enough.\n\nCouple Lester w/ that Boston offense, I think you have a potential winner there.  Just my opinion though.
