Default Re: ask me about fantasy baseball v.2007

5x5 ML roto, we keep 8: who should I keep?

Obvious keepers:

Santana
Soriano
David Wright
Tejada
Miguel Cabrera
Bay
Matt Holliday

I am not sure about the last spot. COntenders are:
Felix Hernandez
Schmidt
Lackey
Alex Rios

I got burned last year when I kept Felix over Halladay and Carlos Lee, so I dont want to make the same mistake again. I am leaning Felix or Lackey though.

lackey is probably a slightly better option for 2007, but it looks like your team is so far ahead of the pack that you can afford to gamble on felix developing into a long-term stud.

felix, along with jake peavy, ben sheets, and brad lidge, is one of the guys poised to make big improvements once their BABIP and strand rates normalize this year.

i'm apparently stuck at an airport for the next nine hours, so if anyone wants to do some kind of rapid-fire questioning on here, feel free.

I need all kinds of help.

never played FB before, am joining an existing league as the 15th team. 7x5, C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, DH, U, SP and RP.

the league is transitioning from a snake draft league to an auction league this year. everyone keeps 3 guys, who basically will be given a value of $25 each. I get to choose 3 guys who will all be worth $25 from the list of guys not kept from anyone else.

the list is not final yet, but I think the best players are guys like

how should I choose my guys? best available? by position? some guys who will be available will be Halladay, Konerko, Lee, maybe Jeter, I dunno, I don't have a complete list.

I'm not quite sure on some of the lingo: what does the #x# mean in terms of describing a league? I'm assuming keeper leagues are where you keep a certain number of players from your final roster of the previous year.

#x# usually is referring to the number of categories that counts towards scoring. The first number represent the number of hitting categories and second represent number of pitching categories. Standard is 5 hitting and 5 pitching.

I accepted the Isringhausen deal. I figure niether is likely to be kept by me, I marketed Sanchez furiously to no avail, and I don't have one possible pitching keeper on my roster.

Next deal. Cabrera at $40 for Bonderman at $13 and Peavey at $32?

I've got Glaus ($21) but I'll probably trade him, regardless of the Cabrerra deal. If I end up keeping both, I can start one or the other at U. I'm also keeping Gordon for $1. I'm loaded on offense, and my best possible pitching keeper is Izzy. I dealt Cain ($6) for Cabrera and a draft pick, which is an extra roster spot, two weeks ago.

Going strictly by PECOTA, Cabrera is worht $42, Bonderman $23, and Peavey $32. My league pays a big premium for big offensive boppers, so second and third tier pitching can be had very cheap. Cabrera would go for $50-$55 in the draft. I think PECOTA is a little optimistic on Bonderman, and I don't like to invest $32 in one pitcher. On the other hand, I will be able to spin Peavey for something else, even if it's only another draft pick.

I like Bonderman at $13 better than Cain at $6. Am I crazy for this? Do you do the deal?
