Is David Wright of the Mets Over rated????????
954804
David Wright is the best 3B. He is a five-tool player. Enough said. Yes, all he can do is improve, which is scary.

I'm going to go against that grain here and say that unless you need steals - don't do it. Let’s start off with Beckett- he is now 3-1 with a 4.50 ERA, 1.25 WHIP after the Tribe kicked the snot out of him the other night. Everybody knows that Beckett, the 2003 World Series MVP, has talent. The question, as always, is his durability. He'll be just 26 in May and already has 100 starts in the bigs. BUT he's never thrown more than 200 innings or made 30 starts in a season. What happens when his first blister pops up -- on the front pages -- in Boston? How will he handle the heat? How will he get his road ERA (4.25 since 2004) down? How will he handle a full season with the DH? Not this well, that's for sure.\n\nSo...now you're talking Jones for Damon. Andruw is the back bone of the Braves lineup and he has had an awesome April (.284 8HR 23RBI's 17 runs). Project that out and he's looking at a 45+HR and a 100+RBI season. Damon on the other had has a slower start (.275 1HR 10RBI 16 runs). He's gonna have to find a way to settle down in NYC (which he may do just fine) but how far back in the standings will you be when he does?\n\nStick with Jones, go out and look at Ryan Freel (Cincinnati) for steals and grab whatever pitcher is hot on your waiver wire.

Tough to say....his homers say HOF, the rest of his numbers do not.  He is in the same boat as Mark McGwire.  I also am a Cardinals fan.  I think he will eventually make it, but not on the first ballot.  Same goes for Big Mac.

They made a bad decision with signing Beltre.  Everyone in the league knew he had potential but that the one year was still a major fluke.  Also, Richie is good but he doesn't hit for average.  In addition, Ichiro is getting old.  Add to that the fact that Seattle is a pitchers park and you get little offense.  In addition, Seattle just won't part with their mid-level pitchers.  Moyer isn't going to win you 15 games anymore and Pineiro has reached his peak.  Plus, why are they babying Felix?  He's a good pitcher, let him loose!  Bad management, that's what it comes down to.

Middle Reliever suck in Fantasy Baseball.\n\nOnly the top 1 or 2 should MR should even be considered adding to a team.  They are way too inconsistant and seem to go on incalculated streaks.\n\nBasically, fine a SP, closer,  or a batter to replace them.

He will do good but not as good as last year. This is hard for me to say (because I am a Yank fan) he did not deserve to win the MVP in the AL last year (David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox should have won). The biggest problem with him is that he hits home runs after they are winning by 7 runs it is sad but true.

beltran is one of the true great players in the game today, hits , hits for power in the clutch, great fielder w/ good "arm", runs fast and smart... whats not to keep?.. is he worth the money??.. no ball player is worth the money they get.. but at least he puts fans in the seats, many over paid players do not.

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.

There Was'nt one.. Zambrano looked like he might be it in Chicago, but he tailed off, and Carpenter in St.louis wasnt really as impressive as the year he won the Cy Young, as for Trevor Hoffman, that game he gave up 2 or 3 back to back HRs to the Dodgers as a closer disqualifies him from conversation, then thru in that he blew saves that spectaculary 3 or so times on the year means i dont care what his numbers said, he cant win...i wouldve rather seen Billy wagner get a Cy Young off last year than Hoffman, Rivera hasnt won one, theres no way in H*ll Hoffman should... so Webb was the best of what was available.

Hes a top 5 talent offensively probably. theres at least 10 pitchers i would rather have then him.  And he isnt exactly known for being the ultimate team player.  his numbers are outstanding but numbers dont mean everything, look at A-Rod.  yes he is good but not 20 million a year in my opinion.

NO, don't give up Beltran.  Looking at historical data, Beltran would do better to get back into average.  And he bats 3rd in Mets, one of the best hitting teams in the league now.\n\nCrosby is doing better lately.  Stick with him for a while.

Mets....take a look at their roster yankees fans...just as good or better than yours..in my opinion better.

It's totally Dempster and no one else. Take a look at his stats, he is actually becoming one of the best closers in the league and is dominate at times. No way anyone else closes for them until he gives the team a reason.

It's obviously a risk signing anyone close to 40, but it's tough to pass up considering how much he'll upgrade the DH position.  His numbers should far surpass last year's DH-by-committee group of Shea Hillenbrand, Gregg Zaun, Eric Hinske, Cat, and the rest of that motley bunch.\n\nHe's been hurt a lot lately, but he's appeared in 135 or more games in 12 of his 16 seasons, and he had over 550 plate appearances in 2006.  If he can come close to repeating last year's success, I'd be very happy.\n\nNow, as for signing Royce Clayton when Julio Lugo is available, well, that's another story.  I guess it upgrades the D, but I hope they're using that leftover money to go hard after Meche and/or Lilly.

Canseco got what he had coming. I used to be a big fan of his. I am from Cincinnati but I rooted for the A's in the 90 world series against the Reds because I liked Canseco, McGuire, Dave Stewart and others so much but I fell out of favor with those guys. I would never deny a 12 year old kid my autograph. Jose is a dick and that's why he's poor and has to scrum off of his brother Ozzie now, even though he's broke too!!

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!

He is a hell of a ball player!  No one is worth that much money though.  He could make millions less and still be a happy and talented ball player.  The money that he is being paid and has been paid sets him up for public scrutiny.  If he is not perfect the critics will be after him.  No one can be perfect as a field player in baseball.  I am not a Yankees fan!  But much respect for them and their long standing traditions.   Go Astros!
