Vevmo Fantasy Baseball: 2010

Damn, I can't buy a hit this week, lol. Choo got me 46 on the bench last week and -.5 on my roster this week. Youklis couldn't hit a wiffleball slow tossed by my little cousin right about now (she's 6 but does have a bit of a knuckler.) It has been rough! I just need to build a bridge back to Rollins in my lineup (two weeks out.) This week is over for me, so "unfairly" I am rooting for all the teams that are playing the other 2-0 teams. :D

Looks like Insider is going to have first to herself (last undefeated team) when Monday's power rankings come out, but it will be close. I should still have the overall points lead (by a hair.) Looking forward to next week, and my big trade with the Wolves for Lester. I think he is going to turn it around...

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;171108]Just for the record, I don't thionk anyone has two very big starters out on their team more or less since the beginning of the season. I have two in Brian Roberts and Jacoby Ellsbury.[/QUOTE] This is true, but I feel your pain. Rollins is a monster at a weak position and is irreplaceable (unless you have a guy name Hanley and he has been ice cold this week.) This stuff goes in cycles. This week, everything went wrong with my team from top to bottom and I was at a 9-6 pitching disadvantage. My outfielders combined put up 23.5... As for the trade. Truthfully, I hated parting with Oswalt and I think he will do you well and you get a 2nd/3rd utility in Stewart who is averaging 22+ points a week (with a chance to score more today.) And next week we face off. :D

[QUOTE=Insider;171110]Brad Penney was a life saving pick for me. I'm glad I did that. I hope he holds up through the entire season. :)[/QUOTE] I really hate that bum...I just do... But he has treated you well. He is on a great team in probably the weakest division in baseball, so the sky is the limit. He got his *** handed to him in the AL East (they actually waived him mid season...)

I dropped Zito. He was hot but I don't think it is going to last. Anyway, I've got way too many pitchers these days with potential (surprising being I didn't really draft any, lol.) [B]Edit:[/B] In potential I mean that I won't hit the panic button until at least another month of baseball is played.

[QUOTE=Insider;171145]You know.. I dropped Z.. and picked up Pelfrey. I thought that would be a great idea. I just noticed he's pitching against Halladay next week. Maybe I should have waited an extra week.[/QUOTE] Halladay can't win them all... That said, you should get a good challenge out of the Yanks. AZ and I had a rough go of it, so our matchup is all about bragging rights.

And Insider nudges her way to the top of the fantasy rankings, but will it last?

[QUOTE]Transaction King[/QUOTE] Aww, that pet name is so endearing! :D

Just for fun, here is the first roster grid vs. the current roster grid.

[QUOTE=Desertpuma;171447]If you look at the number of transactions carried out by teams, you have done more trades or add/drops than anyone else in the league or the entire league combined![/QUOTE] It is called the drop, swap and grab. You drop a player, let him sit on the WW for 3 days while you swap in the player you think will give you a good week and once the lineups lock, you drop the pickup and grab your player back. My favorite technique! That and I am quite indecisive with my bottom 5 roster spots. I pick up a guy, then will be reading about another guy that might be a better pick for that slot and I make the move. Three days later after the new player goes 0-12 - I get someone else. Honestly though, right now the only players I would consider dropping on my roster would be Furcal (who is playing for Rollins) Hughes (because I hate him but he is a two start RP this week) and Hudson. The rest of my lineup is pretty much locked (AND LOADED BABY!) [B]Edit:[/B] And for the record, I have only made 26 of 69 transactions.
