How do you deal someone who picks up players daily so he always has a full lineup?

Check this, it will solve your problem.\n\nPick all good guys in FA and drop them immediately.  They will then become waivers, no one can claim them within 2 days.\n\nThat requires you have an empty spot though.

Whenever you can trade 2 good players for 1 superstar player, it is a steal!  Because now it will open up another slot on your active roster and now you can play your other good player that's always in your bench.  But if you don't have depth, I wouldn't pull the trade trigger.

Try to do good in every category, not just a few. That will get you many more points. By that I mean, you may think that picking up a fighter, you're losing offense and you might not pick him up. Put the points he'd bring you with his PIM is very valuable. And also, I know a lot of rotisserie players, at the end of the season, have so many D-men games left. So try to pick up a 5th D-man to be able to use up all the D games.

Look on the waiver wire for hidden gems and trade Chris Shelton for a consistent fanstasy producer while Shelton has such a high value. Don't worry yet, their are still many more weeks. If your league plays SP's, RP's, then just P's for the P's use relief pitchers who appear in more games than starters

First of all..Howard is a MUST start!  I don't know why some people are saying to bench him.  Look at the stats and make that decision yourself.  \n\nHolliday needs to start.  Possibly start your outfielders based on the matchups for that day.  So many good OF's, not enough spots to start them all.  Podsednik gets you SB's, but he should not be starting every day.  You'll get SB's from plenty of other guys in your lineup.\n\nShelton had his hot 2 week stretch, but he is of no fantasy value now.  Drop him or trade him for pitching if you need it.

You can't delete it but you can drop all your players and return them to the free agent pool. It shoud be fun to hang around for a few days and watch the feeding frenzy as the other teams in your league try to pick up the best players.

Dropping him is the only thing you CAN do.  No one wants to trade for him as he's gonna be out for a long while!  Replace him with a solid backup.

Util guys are regular players\nbut in that slot you can put any position player.\nSo if you wanted to put your extra center, shooting guard there, its fine.

You can set up and ebay business. Thats what I do. If you know a lot about autographs like how much certain players autographs are worth, you can get some great steals on ebay. Then turn around and sell it for more. The key here is knowing how much autographs go for and not overpaying. Get the best deal possible.

well, i'm no pro at this, but i just pick whoever's going to be playing that day (cause they're the only ones who are going to have points on that day), and if i have too many of one position, then i pick the best ones there (like if i have two goalies who are playing tmorrow, i pick the better one). captains are hard to pick, because it seems that every time i pick someone who's been doing well, bam another person on the team steps up and has a huge flood of points. it's half luck and half technical stats, but usually i pick a forward or midfielder for captain who has had a lot of points up to date.\n\nformations just tell you the maximum of each type of player that you can have. overall you can only have 10 people on the field at a time, and one goalie. the formations are listed in order defense-midfield-forward, and you can either line up your men in those given formations, or have LESS, but not more.

I would definitely try to get some more power bats and change catcher.\n\nSo I would probably deal coco Crisp for a power outfielder.\n\nAnother possibility is to get rid of a pitcher (you have plenty) to get a good power guy, if you pack Coco Crisp with one of your DL pitchers you should get a very good bat (C. Lee, D. Lee, Manny, A. Jones...)

OK, follow me here because this is gonna take a while, but in the end I promise it will help your team a bunch if you give it a few weeks to take shape.\n\n1 catcher is all you need...you need to drop 2 and pickup a first baseman who plays EVERY DAY, I personally would keep Varitek or Ross.  Tough choice, but you can't go wrong with either, so you make the decision there.    \n\nBroussard is great at home vs. righties, but he does not start vs. lefties, so you are limited there.  You may put him on the bench and save him for the righty @ home situations and check the waiver wire for an every day 1B.  Prince Fielder?  Cuddyer?  Cuddyer could platoon with Broussard, play Cuddyer vs. lefties and Broussard vs. righties.  That will help your 1B problem and with the open roster spots you'll have by dropping 2 catchers.  \n\nVidro is average at best.  Again, check the waiver wire for someone along the lines of a Dan Uggla or Jose Castillo.  Another suggestion here is to BENCH Vidro, move Bill Hall to 2nd base, and you need to be starting Morgan Ensberg every day at 3B.\n\nBill Hall is a MUST KEEP, regardless of what I have seen others say on here.  Leave him in your team but move him to 2B as I said above and start Ensberg every day.  \n\nYou are in need of some outfielders, and if you drop 2 of your catchers, you should be able to add 1 outfielder and start him everyday.  Check the waiver wire for Marcus Thames or Curtis Granderson.  They will provide you with more HR, RBI than what you have now.  Crawford and Rios are EVERY day starters, so adding one of the guys I mentioned will solidify your outfield considerably.  If one of those 2 are not available, consider J. Encarnacion who is starting to get comfortable at the plate since he is not pulling his head as bad as earlier in the season.  He is seeing the ball well.  \n\nPitching is fine, you just need to be patient with what you have because you have a quality staff.  If you feel the need to add a starter, then check the waiver wire for Gil Meche, and any young starters who have been up for less than a month and have done well that may have snuck under the radar in your league.  If Jered Weaver is available, pick him up because although he is being sent down to the minors for a few weeks, he WILL be back within the month and have a solid 2nd half of the season.  \n\nClosers, well, depending on your league, there are probably not any closers available for the taking.  You can propose a trade I supoose, but I am not a big trade kind of guy, so.....if you propose a trade, you could use Coco Crisp and one of your cathcers as trade bait for a mediocre closer such as Fuentes(Rockies) or Rivera(Yankees) who is having a down year, but still will get you the saves you need.  Wagner is your only save guy, Howry is pretty worthless in the fantasy baseball world, so he could be dropped and you could utilize his rister spot for some of the players I listed above.  You could use one more quality closer to ensure you get more opportunities for saves.  Call me crazy but, the closer for KC, A. Burgos(3 for 3 in Save opps in last 3 opportunities) has been getting better of late and may be worth a look if he is available.  \n\nHope this helps your team.  Good Luck the rest of the year.

I have been told by another player in one of the leagues i'm in that it is possible to have another manager replace the inactive one. You must contact yahoo fantasy sports to do it though.  As the commish you can only do it until the season starts. You have to find a replacement for the inactive manager, If you need someone drop me an e-mail, I've got a couple spots open. good luck to ya.

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

Well you have to understand what positions you are lacking in and sign some young fresh players that are hitting well, some pitchers would be heilman, lirano, tomko, and lieber. Some batters would be brossard, hanley ramirez, and brad wilkerson is starting to get hot. That or you can wait it out, but if you want to be a competitor i would recomend you start signing!

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.

It depends on how the league is set up.Your team can have how ever many players the comissioner makes roster spots for.
