Colon's slow start early is because of this injury. Hold onto him and give him a start after he comes back from the DL before starting him againvand he'll be a top 25 pitcher. Do you really want to waive a top 25 pitcher? Unless someone like Prior is on the WW, just hold onto him. He'll come around, the Angels will get him a good number of wins. So just be patient right now, it's a long season.

dont listen to anybody on here except for the last guy. your team is good and the only thing i think you are lacking is speed for SB but everything else seems like it is covered well. i think you should pick up jacobs from florida as a back up 1B cause he is gonna be extremely good this year and Hermida from florida is said to be the best rookie this year so that could be another and for pitchers i would get aaron small from the yankess 10-0 last year in about 15 games with a good era and he will certainly get wins for you

Okay, first, for rotisserie league baseball:\n\nYou will probably have a league draft.  The teams will draft in some order.  Your job at this point is to try to get the best lineup of players possible, based upon what stats your league is using as competitive factors.  So, if your league uses batting average, runs scored, home runs, RBIs, and steals on offense, you'll want to draft a lineup as balanced as possible in those categories.  The same goes for pitching.  Basically, you want something that looks like a well-thought out real team.\n\nRotisserie league (or "roto ball") rewards consistency.  All the categories that count statistically are ranked 1-x, where x is the number of teams in the league.  If you lead the league in, say, home runs, you get x points.  If you're second, you get x-1 points, down to one point for last.  Most placement points at the end of the seaon wins.\n\nThis setup requires you to have strength in as many statistical categories as possible.  You can blow the league away in half of the stats, but finish near the bottom in the others, and you won't win.  Thus, leading the league in this or that isn't the end purpose.  Solidity across the board is.\n\nYou also have fantasy points leagues.  Here, you draft as before, but each statistic rates points per datum (thus, a run scored might be 1 point; score 500 runs, get 500 points).  I don't like this type as much, as you can figure out where you want your points, draft on that alone, and run away with so much of one or two stats that everything else can rot on the vine and you still win.  This is especially true if the league awards too many points for a statistic (like 20 for a stolen base versus two for a homer... gee, let's get speedsters).\n\nLast, you have head-to-head fantasy, which goes on fantasy points.  Here, you draft, and then you match your stats against another player in the league for a given time (often a day or a week).  Most points in that day or week wins between the two of you, so you end up with standings similar to a real-life table... :)

Players to drop: Ausmus, Rodriguez (look for a 5era when all is said and done, last night for example), Tomko, why do people love this guy he is pathetic. You have hardly any speed, and one closer. That's 20% of all stats you are throwing out, so you start each week unless someone goes off 0-2. I like most of your pitchers, I would pick up at least 2 more SP, you have way too many roster spots for offense. 5 guys on bench, I could see 2 maybe 3, but I would much rather have 3 more starter/closers. I hope you are not playing Phillips over Kent right now.You need speed plug Roberts in for Dye, Dye rests as much as Bonds now. Trade too much good talent wasting away on bench, trade Tracy, Hawpe for some pitching, they are not doing you any good on the pine.

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 play NBA fantasy myself.... so i had to learn the hard way..\n\nwhat you can do is:\n\n1. Get players that will dominate or give you points in each of the catagorizes.\n   a. scoring\n   b. rebounds\n   c. steals\n   d. assists\n   e. blocks\n\nand since its hard to get the best players, you have to always make sure your first pick will always be someone that will generate points in all the catagories.\n\nexample: Kevin Garnet, Lebron James, Shawn Marion, ect.\n\nThese guys will give you the point spread you need if other players you chose, dont produce.\n\n2. Pick players that you know the other people probably wont choose, but you kno will give you decent amount of points.\n\n\nhint: A single person cant win the match, you have to plug in the right amount of people that will give you more points than your opponent.\n\n3. Constantly look at the Hot/Cold sheets and see who is on fire. you have to keep changing your roster and implement players that you believe will help your team or drop them if you feel that they are not. \n\nFinally Observe the Yahoo Player Notes, and see what each of em has to say... those are one of the best tips you can get, to win a fantasy league. \n\nGOOD LUCK!!!

First I'd check for a C upgrade. Lopez isn't bad, but I picked up Ramon Hernandez today and Willingham recently on another team. It never hurts to look. While Mueller is hot now, he's not a long term answer. You really should be getting some SBs out of this position. Check out Josh Barfield of SD or Castillo of Pittsburgh. Your team is vitually bereft of speed. SPs are weak. I'd drop Weaver and look at Bannister of the Mets.Trade Clement now before he reverts to his normal form. Andruw Jones supplies great HR?RBIs, but he's a drain on team batting average. I would be inclined to offer Thome or Jones for an SP. Keep your eyes on the free agents in your league. Use your DL slot. Always good to keep one guy on the DL, so if another goes on the DL, you can just switch them. I think your team is mid-pack talent wise. You need a couple front of the order guys for runs and SBs. Maybe Granderson or Stewart are available. Maybe package Thome or Jones plus Clement. Get an SP with era/whip and a .300+ hitter who'll replace some of the HRs you traded.

Always go for the best available player in the first half of the draft.  Try and focus on infield positions first, as top players are each position are limited.  The only reason to grab a outfield player early is if they fall farther than expected (such as getting A. Jones or A. Dunn in round 4 or something).  Its worked for me.  I've won our league 2 of the 3 years.  Let me know if you have any more questions.

You're in FOUR yahoo leagues?  My advice to you is to get a life.  \n\nCome on, fantasy sports can be fun but at some point you have to expand your horizons a little.

Honestly, I feel that you have too much starting pitching. You will probably top the Wins catorgory in your league but your ERA  and WHIP will be high and your Saves and K will be low. RPs almost always do better in those catogories.  Consider trading one of your starters for a closer with a high K/IP and a low WHIP and ERA. A high K/IP guy that might be available on the FA market is J J Putz. \nAlso, maybe you could trade some of that SP for some speed like Brian Roberts or Pods. Willy Travaras and Dave Roberts are often availible as a base stealers via FA.\nAnyway, good luck and have fun!

There are such things as untouchables in fantasy baseball... A few years ago, it was Bonds... But right now, I'd say the two untouchables are A-Rod and Pujols... There is just no way you can justify trading these guys... They are the foundation of your team... \n\nNow, trading A-Rod for Podsednik and Carpenter is not a good deal... Last year, A-Rod put up 124 R, 48 HR, and 130 RBIs... Now those are GREAT numbers for a 3B... At the same time, Podsednik put up 80 R, 0 HR, 25 RBIs but did have 59 SB to A-Rods 3... This all came from an OF spot... And Carpenter just put up a 21 and 5 W-L record with a 2.83 ERA and 213 K's... Now to analyze how they might do this year... A-Rod's line-up has only added a leadoff hitter, which New York lacked all last year... So, A-Rod is hitting in a better line-up this year than last... That only makes his chances of having as good of or better year than last year better... Podsednik will get you steals and that is about it... That is his only value... You could probably get him by trading a second-tier player but not an untouchable! Carpenter is a little trickier... He had an amazing year last year and is following that up with a pretty good year so far...BUT, Carpenter has only had one good year and one truly great year... and pitchers can tend to be fickle...although I would personally love to have him on my team, I could not justify trading A-Rod away for him... I look at it this way... A-Rod is worth two average players worth of production... Carpenter is worth maybe a pitcher and a halfs worth of production (although you'll probably miss out on the sparkling ERA)... \n\nAfter saying all that, I would not make this trade unless you really feel the need for SB's and your pitching is headed by Jon Leiber...

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

Geez... How many players are on the DL.  First off drop Garciaparra and Hermida. You have Pujols so what’s the use of Jacobs? Looks like you have some solid relievers and a few decent starters.  Keep KROD, Jennings, Seo, Verlander, Capuano, Sheets, Lidge, Sanchez.  Place Hendrickson as DL. Lowry is also still hurt.  I’m not familiar with “Balldelli…” You can try to use Wright, Johnson, Ortiz and anyone else I forgot as a potential trade.

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.
