March 10, 200917 yr okay, so I have three teams in yahoo. being a marlins fan made me a little biased and you'll notice a slight trend in all three teams... anyways, here they are: Team 1: Marlins FTW C Brian McCann 1B Derrek Lee 2B Ian Kinsler 3B Chipper Jones SS Michael Young OF Josh Hamilton OF Ichiro Suzuki OF Cameron Maybin UTIL Andre Ethier BN Jeremy Hermida BN John Baker BN Jorge Cantu BN Mark Derosa SP Ricky Nolasco SP Chien-Ming Wang RP Brad Lidge RP Bobby Jenks P Josh Johnson P Joe Saunders P Brandon Lyon BN Chris Volstad Team 2: lulz C John Baker 1B Lance Berkman 2B Brian Roberts 3B David Wright SS JJ Hardy OF Adam Dunn OF Jay Bruce OF BJ Upton UTIL Adrian Gonzalez BN Pat Burrel BN Matt Wieters BN Brad Hawpe SP Ricky Nolasco SP Edinson Volquez RP Chad Qualls RP Matt Lindstrom P Javier Vasquez P Aaron Harang P Fausto Carmona BN Chris Perez BN Chris Volstad Team 3: Shake and Bake! C Victor Martinez 1B Albert Pujols 2B Chase Utley 3B Aramis Ramirez SS JJ Hardy OF Carlos Beltran OF Magglio Ordonez OF Torii Hunter UTIL Kevin Youklis BN Pablo Sandoval BN John Baker BN Cameron Maybin SP Ervin Santan SP Chris Volstad RP Bobby Jenks RP Brandon Morrow P Brett Myers P Mike Gonzalez P Ted Lilly BN George Sherril BN Kenshin Kawakami I cant really decide whether I like team 1 or team 2 better. I like team 2, but adam dunn and jay bruce scare me with low avg. I'm excited with what Matt Wieters has done in spring training so far and all the hype he is getting. hopefully he has a great rookie season. Team 1 is the only team I did a live draft. the others were auto picked.. the teams as you see them now are not directly after the draft, this is already after a couple weeks of pickups and trades.. so what do you guys think? any advice? all teams are in standard h2h yahoo leagues.
March 17, 200917 yr Author So I pulled off a pretty great trade (in my favor atleast) there is a guy in the league team 2 is in who drafted russel martin, brian mccan, and joe mauer. when I make trades I ususally low ball in the beginning just to see if either a) the guy accepts it and I get lucky or b) he counter offers and we see where it goes from there. so yeah, I offered Burrel for Martin. he accepted. not enough vetoes came in, the trade was processed. two guys complained but I dont think theres anything wrong. the dude accepted it and he had 2 other top catchers. but yeah, now with Russel Martin added to team 2 I think that team is going to be pretty sick. I didnt want to carry 3 catchers on that team so I dropped Baker and picked up Matsui. My plan is hopefully Wieters starts off strong and lives up to his hype and I can trade him and get some nice stuff in return.
