Agree on holds, very hard to know at the moment what teams are going to be involved in lots games that produce hold situations. Those teams seem to change from year to year. That makes picking pitchers for that category even harder. I like that extra dimension thoughGood point made up above about holds too. I have no idea how matchups will play out in that category so its a stab in the dark for me.

If we had 8 keepers, I would have kept Berkman and Rivera or Axford. I guess I could have picked those guys up in the draft but my biggest need was starting pitching so I had to take the best available with my first few picks. I drafted 3 other closers so I should still be competative in that category. I too hope Bailey makes speedy recoveryYeah I had him lined up but I didn't want to take a closer that early. It's a shame, I drafted him last year even though he was on the DL as I figured he'd have value later on. If we would have had 8 keepers I might have included him too, he was on the cusp. Hopefully (for real life, not fantasy reasons) he gets back fit for the 2nd half of the season. 0 -

With 8 keepers I would have kept Mikes Young and Bourn, but Bailey was definitely close.
Where are all the runs tonight? I have 31 innings pitched and a 0.58 ERA so far with 23 strikeouts!
Means I also have a 0.71 AVG!!

Lots of aces going today with fresh arms. Think you have a few of themWith 8 keepers I would have kept Mikes Young and Bourn, but Bailey was definitely close.

I'm beginning to wonder is his arm fixed, he was lit up for another 8 runs today.smackbunnybaby wrote: »ERAs and WHIPs are all over the place.
So many SPs and RPs are having nighmares, Darvish, JJ, Wainwirght, Hamels, Valverde, Axford, Santos, Mariano...I could go on!
Real early season jitters.
Yep, every category win is gonna count this year. League is going to be alot closer this year as everyone is active and all the rosters look strongIts early. Really small sample size. It's funny in a H2H league as these weeks count as much as the middle or end of season ones. 0 -

So here's the story, I hate Derek Jeter. With a passion. I'm a Red Sox fan so always have done. And as such, I always had him on my Do Not Draft list in every league I was in.
However, this year, in this league, I took him. I'm not entirely sure why, I just needed someone in the position. It's partly because I finally reneged on my Fantasy Football committment this year to never have an ex-Feyenoord player in my team (big Ajax fan), and brough in Robin van Persie, he was too good to ignore this year.
So I figured if I can make a Feyenoord exception, I can make a Jeter one.
I regret it. I hate him. I hate him on my team sheet, I don't want him to get hits for me because I just can't bear to see him do it in real life.
His stats this week:
R - 3
HR - 1
RBI - 3
SB - 0
AVG - .444
OBP - .474
...very solid numbers as you'd expect. I've already touted him around to a few managers here in a trade but no bites or even negotiation as yet.
Will anybody give me a fair trade for Jeter? I need a SS that can replace his numbers, even 90% of them, and most importantly somebody who is not Derek Jeter. If it's someone on the same level as him or better, I'm willing to include someone like K-machine Lincecum as well for the better SS and a lesser SP...whatever something like that.
Offers....

There can be no loyalities in fantasy sports. If you want to win you have to pick the best players. I'm a liverpool fan myself and I have no problem putting Man U players in my fantasy football teams if they are scoring well. I know about the Ajax-Feyenoord rivalary, a mate of mine is an Ajax season ticket holder. They dont even allow away fans at each other grounds as the match is such a big security risk...So here's the story, I hate Derek Jeter. With a passion. I'm a Red Sox fan so always have done.

I have no issue with the Yankees in general, just Jeter! It's my own fault for drafting as I did.0 -

Yep, I kept Asdrubal. Given that I wasn't keeping any pitchers it was an easy decision given how shallow the position is. I'm hoping for a 20/20 season from himI understand this to an extent. However because it's shallow I figured most people wouldn't keep a SS.
For instance, this year's draft only 4 out of the 10 teams kept SS's: Tulo, Reyes, Castro and Hanley.
This makes complete sense, there's just not 10 SS's out their worth keeping. Next year I would expect the same 4 to be keepers, with a max of 2 other SS's. That means there should be at least 4 teams in the league (including me), but likely 5 or 6, that are not going to keep their SS next season and are just looking for Stats now. If he was an aging 1B I would understand more. However he's the top in his position right now so someone not planning on keeping a SS shouldn't care even if he retires in October.
Anyway that was just my thinking.
EDIT: just noticed you kept Asdrubal yourself, sorry, that makes it 5. If you've already marked a SS as a keeper I get it.
Jeter is signed on for next season aswell so he is deffo not retiring. The Yankees may even extend him at the end of the season if he keeps up his current production. He has looked after himself through his career so I can easily see him playing until he is 40. While he wont hit .400, I think he could get 200 hits this season. He has pretty much been on fire since he passed 3000 hits last summer. You are probably downgrading at SS unless you get one of the SS keepers...0 -

Yep, I'm all about picking up prospects and giving them a chanceAlso, terrific call picking up Mike Trout. I had him on my radar from the start and would have picked him up by now had I not been using BN spots for Harper and Berkman. I actually had the pick up lined up about a week and a half ago but Berkman was already in the "probably going to DL" situation and I needed someone who could play from day 1.
Pretty cool Harper and Trout getting called up at the same time, looking forward to seeing both! I'll be giving him his debut today. That he is batting leadoff, I'm hoping he runs alot as I need steals, its my worst category so far. Had Harper been available I would have picked him up aswell. 0 -

Yea, I seen that Verlander start was in the stats. Dont think that start would have affected the final outcome of the pitching cats. Happy to get out with a draw considering I was 9-3 down going into the weekendIt's been a stupid week really. Was working late most nights this week and so accidentally had Verlander on the bench for his start. Doh! 0 -

I dont see any maximum in the rules for week or season so its stream city if thats whats required. 1400 innings is the default max in the Yahoo rotisserie leagues.
I'm gonna need great pitching again this week as Hammy is beating up on my batting lineup. That was a massive performance by him the other night and if he had hit the double a bit harder he may have become the first batter in history to hit 5 homers in a game..
Yeah Hamilton has been great for me this year. Glad after I stuck with him through last year. Think my team is finally starting to turn around. I've finally ended my love affair with Chase Utley and I've accepted a trade that will help our my pitching 0 -
