Fantasy Baseball Check-in... - The Orange Mane

Taco John · 05-10-2006, 11:23 PM

How is everybody doing in fantasy baseball this year (those who are playing)?

My first year out the gates, and right now I'm in first place in both leagues that I'm in...

Not bad!

Taco John · 05-10-2006, 11:25 PM

I just made a trade in one league that I'm not sure about...

I gave up Derrek Lee (DL) and Brad Penny for Roger Clemens and Chone Figgins...

I'd have held onto Derrek Lee, except that I picked up Nick Swisher to replace him, and haven't looked back. I need pitching, and Rocket will be coming online before too long...

Your 12-3 lead is pretty imposing right now... No doubt about it...

i cant stand baseball, but good luck everyone for the summer stretch!

Taco John · 05-11-2006, 12:00 AM

I was turned off of baseball a long time ago, but the last five or so years have slowly started coming back to the game, especially since joining a softball team . It's a great sport.

my draft wouldnt open for me and i havent had time to keep up with it

-Slap- · 05-11-2006, 06:54 AM

I was able to hit big in the later rounds on several youngsters who are playing very well so far. Prince Fielder, Josh Willingham and Edwin Encarnacion are three guys I draftred repeatedly after round 15 and they're all producing excellent numbers. I thought I might be able to include Curtis Granderson in that group, but he's starting to press a little bit now.

NaptownChief · 05-11-2006, 07:46 AM

I'm doing pretty well...Making a nice comeback after a very slow start due to injuries. In two leagues and current moved up to 2nd and 3rd. Derreck Lee, Coco Crisp, Chipper Jones, and Brian Roberts all went gimp early and put me in a little pinch..But landed guys like Chris Shelton, Granderson, Austin Kearns, Josh Willingham, Scott Kazmir and Brandon Webb late in both drafts that have really bailed me out while I wait on the gimps.

Taco John · 05-11-2006, 04:35 PM

What's up with Jason Bay? What a dissappointment... I took Derrek Lee and Jason Bay in the first and second rounds of one of my leagues... I can't believe I'm in first!

Or Carl Crawford? Someone took Crawford over Wright, before me (I think). Thanks for that, whoever it is...

Although, last place is great. I'm gettin' all sorts of wacky trade offers...good times.

Taco John · 05-11-2006, 10:51 PM

So bummer... Just when H. Matsui was showing signs of coming out of his slump, he hits the DL indefinitely...

Time to get creative...

minibronco · 05-11-2006, 11:01 PM

I'm doing okay, I was in fourth place, until I lost 13-1 to someone.

Now I'm in 7th place and mounting a comeback.

WABronco · 05-13-2006, 08:21 PM

Freakin' put Liriano in the rotation Minnesota...you bunch of dumbasses.

worst move ever! If Helton would return to form it would be great but its never going to happen. Arod, Helton, Giambi, and Rolen 4 years ago that would have been unheard of to have those 4 guys on the same team.
