Fantasy Baseball Q&A So, the fantasy season is underway, and it would be cool to get a single, organized thread to help keep the forum somewhat clean. Post your team, post your questions. Hopefully it'll become an active thread. I have my final draft tonight at 8:30, and am interested on draft input. Question 1: Where has A-Rod been going your drafts? Question 2: Hanley is off the board, do you pick Pujols, or Wright? I'm on the fence, but I think I'm leaning towards Wright, because of the lack of 3B depth.
I had the first pick in a 10 team draft and A-Rod was gone by my second pick. Pujols without question.

"Fantasy Baseball Q&A" or something similarly shorter than the thread title you went with here would be more effective. Asking a moderator to change the title would be good. With Hanley Ramirez off the board, I would take Albert Pujols and I did. Both of my drafts occurred last week. In my 14-team league with a live draft and some top notch fantasy baseball managers, A-Roid went 23rd overall. My draft- Key West Rams/Oilers 1. (3) Albert Pujols 2. (26) Manny Ram?rez 3. (31) Jake Peavy 4. (54) Joe Mauer 5. (59) Troy Tulowitzki 6. (82) Carlos M?rmol 7. (87) Chone Figgins 8. (110) Vernon Wells 9. (115) Brian Fuentes 10. (138) Nelson Cruz 11. (143) Zack Greinke 12.

(278) Travis Snider 21. (283) Dexter Fowler 22. (306) Jeremy Guthrie 23. (311) Jody Gerut 24. (334) Jensen Lewis In my 10-team league with an auto draft, A-Roid went 47th overall. There are at least two other TGG members in that league. I did not bother to pre-rank players in that league. Yahoo! did all the drafting for me. Our teams- Sarasota Field Mice 1. (9) David Wright 2. (12) Jimmy Rollins 3. (29) Carlos Quentin 4. (32) Justin Morneau 5. (49) Kevin Youkilis 6. (52) ?lex R?os 7. (69) Hunter Pence 8. (72) V?ctor Mart?nez 9. (89) F?lix Hern?ndez 10. (92) Rich Harden 11.

Holy smokes. I am looking at those two other teams for the first time. Kinsler went 2nd overall to SixFeetDeep and Pujols went 5th! Maybe SixFeetDeep has some top secret inside info on Kinsler.
I snagged Arod in the 2nd round at pick number 25 to be exact. Check this out, I had the 4th pick in a 14 team league. We have a slot for a 1B, 3B, and a 1B/3B. My first 3 picks were David Wright Alex Rodriguez Justin Morneau WTF?
Meh - that's pretty much normal for when those guys go. Morneau maybe slipped a bit more than usual but nothing crazy.
hahah nope...wasnt it an autopick draft? i forgot to even check my team its the first time im seeing it.
Yeah, it was an autopick. To have been awarded Kinsler 2nd overall, you had to have preranked him that high. If you didn't prerank, you would have gotten Pujols. If that is not the case, then Yahoo!'s doing some weird shit this year.
Yahoo has messed up auto picking stuff. In one of my Yahoo leagues with an autodraft, Kinsler went in the top 20, Morneau slipped to round 4 and Hanley was pick 5 O_O
What team fares better in this trade (or, if you think it's even, which side would you take)? Team A gets: Albert Pujols Aramis Ramirez Jacoby Ellsbury Team B gets: Hanley Ramirez Lance Berkman Chipper Jones Would it affect your decision if you knew that team A has Tulowiski ready to step in at SS and Team B has Carlos Gomez ready to step in at OF?
I guess thats me being new to fantasy baseball then. I think my team is pretty awesome. Im about to find out.

Hi, I recently drafted a fantasy baseball team in a 10 team league. Setup is R/HR/RBI/SB/AVG and W/SV/K/ERA/WHIP. This is my team, please give me advice on what I should try to do with my roster moving forward so that I can be at my most competitive. I am looking for trade suggestions and possible FA moves. Any help you could provide is greatly appreciated! C Mike Napoli 1B Mark Teixeira 2B Alexei Ramirez 3B Chris Davis SS Stephen Drew OF Ryan Braun OF Matt Kemp OF Jacoby Ellsbury DH Prince Fielder B C Matt Wieters B 3B Ryan Zimmerman DL C Joe Mauer CL Brian Fuentes CL Frank Francisco CL Heath Bell SP Zack Greinke SP Ricky Nolasco SP Ryan Dempster SP Josh Johnson SP Chris Volstad SP Johnny Cueto SP Paul Maholm SP Manny Parra DL SPJustin Duchscherer Thank you!
Ethier, the Dodgers 2009 cleanup hitter, is probably worth Uggla. Dice-K's ERA is going to flirt with 4 unless he made some offseason changes though.
