ask me about fantasy baseball v.2007

[THAY3R]

I thought it was roto but it's actually H2H with no limits.

Bleh this league is going to suck, going to be all about streaming SP's.

12 team 5x5 leaague. I wasn't really paying attention during the draft and just kind of improvised as I went a long. I don't have enough pitching, but I plan on dropping some of my position players for pitching soon. Outside of that feel free to tear my team apart.

Crockpot,

Can you give me your projections for Schilling and Willy Mo?

[SL__72]

Thoughts on this trade?

Categories:
Batting: R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG, OBP, SLG
Pitching: IP, W, L, CG, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, K/BB

Lo Duca is my only catcher.

Starting Pitchers:
Harang
Webb
Kazmir
Lowe
Arroyo
Schmidt
Prior
Pedro Martinez

I give up:
Lo Duca
Harang

I get:
Felix Hernandez
Russell Martin

I'm thinking my lineup could use the help but Harang should be a really strong pitcher with this setup.

[A S U]

This is my first year playing fantasy baseball for $$$. I'm in a 10 team H2H league. Stats are H, HR, RBI, AVG, W, SV, ERA, K, WHIP.

What sort of strategy should I be looking at? Do pitchers have less value in the format? Go offense crazy? Draft is tonight at 7, and i'm pretty much clueless. I'm using my afternoon to soak up as much info as possible.

Also I have pick 9 and pick 6 wants to swap. No brainer right?

Is this a 15 or 18 team league?

[nolanfan34]

Since he had the 13th and 16th picks it's a 14 team league.

Dids,

For a standard 5x5 roto league, you did OK, but will have a tough time in the SB category. With 11 keepers seems like you might have been able to skew a little bit younger in a couple of spots. You also seemed to grab a lot of injury question mark guys like Putz, Johnson, Josh Johnson, Snelling, Nomar, etc.

K's will be tough to come by on your pitching staff too. You can easily dump Carroll and Hall to pick up some pitchers who break out early on.

no, in a 4x5 pitchers will have more value than in a 5x5, which is what most rankings are based on.

you did okay for rounds 1-3, but from there on you took a lot of guys who aren't going to provide a good return on where you drafted them. D+ overall.
