FOBA Baseball league

Draft is done !!!!!!! Just getting ready to start checking out my team.

I like my team alot. I think if players like Griffey, Lopez, Vaughn, and Larkin all have turn-around seasons I will run away with the league title easily. But they could all wind up on the DL.

I very well could have the best pitching staff in Zito, Morris, Byrd, Tomko, and Simontachi. The one thing that concerns me is how many Cardinals I have. If they struggle early so will my team.

I may look to move for a starting pitcher, but I dont have much wiggle room on my roster. I don't want to give up one of the veterans and I need to keep around the younger players I have like Drew in case the others fail.

I agree you definently need some comeback years from guys. I absolutly love my team. I'm weak at catcher ( marrero) but who isn't? I have a tremondous outfiel with proven performers in Sosa, Edmonds and Ramirez along with Burrell who is ready for a sick year.

My infiels solid with Helton and Glaus at the corners and Eric Young at second for some speed. Eckstein isn't flasy but he gets on base and can score some runs.

I have no closers so to speak so that is an area I need to adress, however I again have proven performers with my startes, Colon, Hudson, Freddie Garcia and Glavine all play on winning teams and have proven track records.Sabathia and Dempster will be my fitht starters so anything I get out of them will be aa bonus. I also have Cedeno as a backup outfielder so when Ramirez gets hurt I'll still get some production off the bench.

I think based on past performance of my players, I have the team to beat.

First trade has been accepted! Wakefield for Vazquez.

My team has 5 very good OFers(Berkman, Abreu, Giles, Hunter, B. Williams) but wayyyyyyy too weak at pitching.....for now.

Your offer was tempting but I decided to keep Pujols because of his versatility

[cincyreds]

Hey, guys!!

Yeah I racked pretty good in pitching as well.

Roy Oswalt
Wade Miller
Roy Halladay
Mark Buehrle
Jarrod Washburn
Mark Prior

Those 6 should do nicely for me.

Griffey hit three bombs today. Look who is back, back again.

[bosshogg23]

Tomorrow he will be cursing out kids as they ask for his autograph.........oh wait that already happened 4 years ago in _____ (fill in your city, I am referencing Detroit).

Great baseball player when healthy, but what an ass!

[GoldenEagle]

I agrre, but being an ass dosent take away points for fantasy baseball. :)

[bosshogg23]

Ya GE, that is the hard part for me!

I had the utmost respect for Jr. as a baseball player. until he cursed out kids. However, if he can hit, he can play on my team in fantasy baseball.

On the other extreme, I have seen Luis Gonzalez with a custom made stroller for his triplets at the ballpark on a few occasions, let Todd Jones "borrow" some baseball cards, and welcomed Nelson Cruz on his callup to the majors. However, none of those players are on my team. Truely the hard part about fantasy baseball!

[bosshogg23]

Dola, MylesKnight & GoldenEagle you both have trade proposals!

[GoldenEagle]

bosshog, that would be a tough move to make. Appeir is old and has a frail arm, and while Morris is injury prone, I still cant make the move. Also Hunter and Jones offesne production is basically the same. Thanks for the offer and Ill see if I can work on a counter offer later.
