Fantasy Baseball Roster

[TbTeRRoR]

Couple of questions since i've not kept up with MLB as much as I did when the braves played on TBS. I'm pretty up to speed on the superstars but the middle of the road solid players I'm not so much on. I'm concerned with my Catcher and I need to drop a SS I think. Pitching is like WTF I don't really know all the relievers. I picked up Heyward in FA haha no one drafted him.

would you drop Laroche and 1 SS (BTW I dropped Inge and added ty wiggingtion) if so any diamonds in the ruff out there you'd suggest?

side note I'm currently being offerd Jorge Posada and David Ortiz for Prince fielder... now like 3-5 years ago I'd be all for it but I'm not so sure any opinions?

Decline that trade without giving it a second thought... He's trying to play you... Fielder is one of the best dozen fantasy players in the game, and the best player I'm seeing on your squad right now... Aside from possibly Kemp... He is worth tons more than Posada, and Ortiz is down to being benched now for lack of production..

As for what catchers you might be able to pick up, Ivan Rodriguez is ancient, but right now he's tearing the cover off the ball... He may be available for you off the waiver wire right now... Also, keep an eye on Miguel Montero... He's on the DL right now, so you may be able to pick him up as well and stash him away... Once he comes back, he should be a nice option... If you're set on moving Fielder, look for much more than Posada... Aim higher... Like Mauer or at least McCann or Martinez...

If you drop a SS, lose Edgar... All in all though, I think your offense looks solid... It's your pitching staff that concerns me a bit...

[Mesmer]

Seriously though he should pay you for taking Ortiz. He's so done it's not even funny. I think they had a PH stand in for him the other day lol.

Decline that trade for sure. Try to rummage through the Waiver list and see if you can find a pitcher or two as well. You've got a good offensive lineup, and a couple of decent - good pitchers. Marmol and De La Rosa are good. Buehrle while a good pitcher most of the time in real life, usually isn't a good Fantasy pitcher.

Decline that trade and pick up a pitcher or two off the waiver wire, still going to be some gems in there.

yeah I know my pitching staff's a little dubious but they actually carried my leagues lowest era and whip through the first 8 or so games, but now they're getting rocked

I wish I could get someone to go after a Derrick Lee trade for a pitcher

[jkeough]

Buehrle got blown up last night!!! lol!

Buehrle got blown up last night!!! lol!

That's going to happen with how he pitches, he's going to get wins and have a decent ERA and thats it.

I've made a couple of good pickups on the waiver wire. With that staff your going to have to take a chance on someone. Mike Pelfrey of the Mets has been outstanding and is only owned in 25 percent of leagues right now. Theres also a chance you could grab Zambrano and hope he turns it around for the season. (only owned in around 50 percent of leagues. Also a chance to pickup Phil Hughes, he's been on a tear in his first two starts and is owned in around 60 percent of leagues.

I'll post my team for fun

It's a Roto League and I'm currently in 4th out of 12 places with 81 points.
