New Fun ESPN Fantasy Baseball League With A Cool Twist

I am forming a 12 team league. What I did, was take the best and worst records of MLB teams in 2009, and make a list going from best to worst:
1) NYY
2) LAA
3) LAD, BOS
5) PHI
6) COL
7) STL
8) SFG
9) FLA, MIN, TEX, SEA
13) ATL, DET
15) TB
16) CHC
17) MIL
18) CHW
19) CIN
20) TOR, OAK, SD
23) HOU
24) ARI, NYM
26) CLE, KCR
28) BAL
29) PIT
30) WSH

Now what I did, was I paired the best team and the worst team, and I kept on going down the list, so for example, NYY with the best, and WSH with the worst go together (1,30). Next comes LAA and PIT (2,28). For teams that are tied (example- FLA, MIN, TEX, SEA), I used a random number generator to determine where they are within the order, but I kept them in the respectable spots of 9,10,11, and 12.

What you are going to do is keep 4 from the worse team, and 2 from the better team. Now if over 11 people apply, I am not going to be able to accept everybody. If I do not accept you, IT DOES NOT MEAN I DO NOT LIKE YOU. It just means that you were not chosen. It is a H2H League, ran through ESPN. Leave your email, and post here your top 3 list of combo teams. The actual list of teams is here:

NYY, WSH
LAA, PIT
BOS, BAL
KCR, LAD
CLE, PHI
NYM, COL
ARI, STL
HOU, SFG
FLA, SD
SEA, OAK
TOR, TEX
MIN, CIN
ATL, CHW
DET, MIL
TB, CHC

Current Roster Size: 25

nevermind, check your PM's in a few minutes *hint* hint.

Dang I definitely thought I was getting 4 picks from DET and 2 from MIL but it's the other way around

All PM's were sent out to the 4 guys so far. Email invites will be sent out soon.

Question is,

Holliday, Carpenter, or Wainwright?

I must consult with Jeffrey and other Cards fans.

I'd roll with SEA/OAK OR MIN/CIN if accepted

PM sent.

Was going to go for Haren/Reynolds/Webb/Upton

I was thinking I could draft Edwin Jackson maybe

thanks for the invite as SEA/OAK. I'm thinking;

SEA: King Felix & torn between Ichiro & Lee

OAK: Andrew Bailey, Brett Anderson, Kurt Suzuki, Kevin Kouzmanoff


what do yall think of the OAK selections...i don't think i could do anyone better there, and should I go Ichiro over Lee? I'm leaning Ichiro pretty heavily at the moment.

rajai davis over Anderson or Kouzmanoff???

Cliff Lee, I think you can either draft Ichiro or better outfielders

Davis over Kouzmanoff.

I have my DET selections I just need 2 more from MIL (Im taking Braun and Fielder)

lol, Kouzmanoff. That made me laugh. Not taking Rajai Davis is failure, especially if you're going to take Kouz.

i would go wain since webb is an unsure thing and u can snag bats in the draft

grab Beltran. Bay isn't good. Kills you in AVG and has a pretty weak lineup around him.

Imma have an offensive jugernaut

Beltran is hurt and has the same lineup :D

Then I'll have to drop Holliday since Webb's a DBack

I'm thinking of dropping him for Carpenter actually...I really don't know. Holliday, Carpenter, Wainwright, kind of hard to choose.

Beltran's better, though.

Throw him on the DL. Tons of good OF will be available until he's back.

Guys, post your keepers in the thread I have up there. I am gonna go with ATL/CHW, btw.

I love how that one of the combination of my teams' names is a name for a NFL team

so do you guys really think Rajai Davis is that much better a fantasy option than Kouz? I thought it was pretty close, especially considering position. The more i think of it though, Kouz shouldn't be a starting 3B as there are alot of better options, so maybe taking the SB's from Davis is a better option? I don't know much about him or Kouz for that matter.
