*** Official Fantasy Baseball Discussion Thread ***

[etothep]

That way we don't have dozens of threads devoted to rating everybody's teams & whether trades should or shouldn't be made. One thread to put all of it in

I was waiting for this thread lol

Definitely a last place team. Korn Krushers is going to, well, crush you.

TNP's League's draft is in 10 days

[Astrosfan183]

Joe Mauer for Matt Wieters, should I do it?

[PotatoOfCouch13]

According to this, yes

[DarthJaker]

He wont be up till June Zaun has him blocked

[RedsoxRockies]

He wont be up till June Zaun has him blocked

Yea, that won't last long. The key word is Zaun. Zaun= Old, mediocre catcher. I bet he could be up by some time in May.

[200tang]

Mauer has so many question marks that I'd do it.

[HoustonGM]

Zaun is not "blocking" Wieters. Zaun is holding his place while he seasons a bit in AAA (and the Orioles save money).

[200tang]

Wait! ONE MONTH!? You mean I wasted my 7th round pick on Zaun and he's only gonna play for 1 month!?

Ok, be honest. My first ever fantasy league. And I'm looking over my team and I like it. But I don't know what the hell I'm doing, so be honest. After all, there may still be time to salvage at least an 11th place finish if I get some good advice here.

HR/RBI/Runs/SB/AVG/OPS I think, might be wrong

W/S/ERA/WHIP/KtoBB/???? Don't remember this either. LOL, pretty easy to tell I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

But I like this team. Tell me why I shouldn't.

EDIT:

The pitching stat that you forgot is strikeouts.

DOH!

On paper, your team looks fine to me. No telling what can happen during the year..your pitching might be a tad weak, but I've definitely seen worse teams. You'll be fine.
