Am getting good production from Konerko and Pena, so know might have to give them up to upgrade elsewhere.
Though I might be selling low on Pujols, with my position in the league can't afford to wait for him to get it together.

mikemac1 · 17-05-2012, 15:39

After over thirty changes I'm finally happy with my roster

Going to tone down all the fiddling and tinkering

And my hitters are performing at last, I've lost most hitting categories almost every week so far

Ubaldo Jimenez is scary with his inconsistency!
I start and I haven't a clue if he will perform for Cleveland or if he'll destroy my stats
Not good for the nerves

Ubaldo is the Tim Lincecum of the AL in that he was the staff ace but no longer is. This is mainly due to the reduced velocity on his pitches. I drafted him in the keeper league but dropped him a few weeks back due to his inconsistency, he wasn't really getting enough Ks either. That league is nowhere near as deep as this league so it was easy enough to find a replacement. Here though the waiver wire is as thin as it gets...

smackbunnybaby · 18-05-2012, 09:27

Don't get me started on Ub J!
Drafted him last year in our current keeper in round 3 as my 'ACE' pitcher.
He didn't start properly until mid-May due to various injuries.

Once in a blue moon he gets to about 5 innings with no hits and 8Ks and then blows up and gives up 5 runs in one inning.

7-2
9-1
9-1
9-1
8-2

Sad thing is I don't even know where it's going wrong. Going to have to put some work into it over the next few days.

Anyway, I'm blowing up the team (Isotopes), just assume everybody is on the trading block (Reddick and Pedroia would depend a lot on the offer).

Is CarGo on the block? He is easily your best player...

You should use your DL spot for your injured pitcher and try and pick up a solid starter or pitching prospect. That aint easy in this league league.

I've had to rebuild my team to get back over .500. I only have 10 players left who I drafted...

UCD AFC · 06-06-2012, 00:18

I also overhauled my staff from what I drafted - I had ignored relievers which was hurting me (still have 0 closers though

)

Masked Man · 06-06-2012, 13:03

CarGo is available. I'm pretty strong in OF and I think I'd be ok losing one player from there (even if it is my best player).

Think I might have to look for an upgrade there.

Rob, I'm definitely interested in discussing a trade.

Yea, I had already benched Ike by then. I held for as long as I could hoping he would turn it around but when there was talks of him been demoted I decided to cut him. Morse is back for me now so hopefully he can provide 1B type production.

I'd be interested in CarGo aswell. I'll have a look later and see if I'm willing to give up what I think he worth...

**malistheman** · 14-06-2012, 00:17

Trade proposed to Masked Man. Its not quite as stupid as my trade last year for Pujols but I'm still giving up a lot.

Thoughts anyone ?

I give up : RA Dickey, Mark Reynolds, Nick Swisher, Justin Morneau

Isotopes give up : Carlos Gonzalez, Ryan Roberts.

I really dunno what I expect the answer to be !

Interesting offer. Probably wouldn't do that myself as don't like getting bits and pieces for star players but that's just me

Masked Man · 14-06-2012, 16:06

Just accepted the trade.

Masked Man: So, you traded CarGo. In times past, humans were burnt at the stake for lesser heresies.

Lastly, as you'll learn at Razzball, should you visit, there is one rule with two renditions for fantasy baseball, to wit...

SAGNOF = saves ain't got no face
SAGNOF = steals ain't got no face

And if he well and truly stinks, he's a schmohawk.

Oh, for one more, since I saw some posts mourning the soul who puts up some numbers while benched, well, that's a sonuvabench.

Well and truly lastly, glad to see some getting interested the game (the real game and not so much fantasy).

Sorry, for one more, keep in mind the notion that it is not a mortal sin to stash guys on the DL. Meaning that if you have the DL and aren't too worried about your max weekly moves limit, then if you are going to drop and add then you might as well do a drop, add a DL soul, stash him on the DL, and then add. And keep an eye on those souls likely to be called up in the not so distant future. For example, on more than one occasion I've cleared my bench to add guys who weren't likely to be up in the MLB for another month or so. So long as you don't think that you'll fall out of playoff contention in the interim, then is also not mortal sin to clear the bench in order to grab yourself some up and coming studs. Also, look for guys who are doing well now in limited time and it looks like they stand gain regular playing time. The latest of such souls is Norichika Aoki. I added him to all my teams about a month ago (I've got 16 teams, one season, 09, I had 32). Anyway, enjoy the game(s).

UCD AFC · 21-06-2012, 00:03

Hi guys, I seem to have my team settled ok, one or two problems here and there but the team has a winning record and that was sort of my aim for my first fantasy season.

Would anyone be willing to trade a decent catcher for 3B Aramis Ramirez,
42 runs 9 homers 42 RBI 2 SB .263 Avg.

mikemac1 · 22-06-2012, 17:06

Been hearing a lot of hype about Anthony Rizzo 1B for the Cubs
ESPN Fantasy podcast gave their first ten minutes to him today

Snapped him up during the week and he is expected to be called up over the weekend or next week

I'm hoping for a lot
Getting murdered in batting categories this week, 10 runs behind
