Fantasy Baseball Advice
 

I'm taking over a fantasy baseball team and I'm looking for advice. You start 10 batters, 8 pitchers. 5 categories for batters, 5 categories for pitchers. It's a dynasty league with contracts and here's my team:

Russell Martin-C
Todd Helton-1B
Frank Thomas-1B
Kaz Matsui-2B
Freddy Sanchez-3B
Kevin Kouzmanoff-3B
Casey Blake-3B
Rafael Furcal-SS
Corey Patterson-OF
Ryan Garko-OF
Grady Sizemore-OF
Matt Holliday-OF
Bob Wickman-P
Cole Hamels-P
Jake Peavy-P
Joba Chamberlain-P
Carlos Marmol-P
Pedro Martinez-P
Miguel Batista-P
Tim Lincecum-P
Bob Wickman-P
Bronson Arroyo-P
Garrett Olson-P
CJ Wilson-P
David Weathers-P
Cliff Lee-P

Since I haven't followed baseball since Ken Griffy Jr's Nintendo 64 game, I need help with the contracts. I can offer any player a 5 year extension and I can also extend any person with a 1 year contract to another 1 year contract. I lose everyone else with a 1 year contract.

Players with a 1 year contract:
T. Helton
B. Arroyo
F. Sanchez
C. Lee
C. Patterson
M. Batista

Players with a 2 year contract:
G. Sizemore
R. Martin
K. Kouzmanoff
K. Matsui
R. Garko

Who should I give 5 years to? 1 year? What position should I look to shore up on for next season?

Gracias.

5 years to peavy

extend helton lee sanchez arroyo

Re: Fantasy Baseball Advice
 

wait, can you do 5 years to more than one?

Another wait, why wouldn't you just let each players go down to 1 and then take it one year at a time.

extend Lee over Lincecum?

Re: Fantasy Baseball Advice
 

Can only extend 1 one-year contract player for 1 year and any other (1) player for 5 years. Rather not extend a player that already has 3+ years for 5 more. Holiday, Lincecum, and Peavy all have over 3 years left on their contract.

I think youre looking at Lee, Sizemore, and Martin as your options.
