Re: Who has the best EOG team?
Truthfully I loved the team I drafted and shouldn't have made one move. I think I drafted the best team, but I love to make deals because most people don't trade in my other leagues.

I had the best keepers, IMO.
Prince, Kemp, and (Becks/Crawford)

Re: Who has the best EOG team?
I can't stand him, but I love his value Tuck so I have to say :nono: to that one.
TTP, Hardy does nothing for me in that trade. He wouldn't start over Everth or Yunell on my team. You have another possible piece?

If you take out Danks and Hardy and add Ervin Santana from my side (no one from your side) we have a deal.

The only problem is I have so many OF'ers. Agree on the walking hospital :LMAO. I'm taking this girl to lunch for her birthday. I'll look everything over when I get back.

Re: Who has the best EOG team?
damn great deal for chute. i don't think ibanez has a year even near last year, but cueto might be better than shields in that deal, so to get a OF you can start also was a great deal, especially now if he can turn cueto into danks
i think guys are giving up too much just simply to deal with chute at this point :LMAO

Re: Who has the best EOG team?
K-Rod leaves country, might miss opener
Francisco J. Rodriguez, RP NYM
News: The Bergen Record reports that Mets closer Francisco J. Rodriguez has left the country to attend to a personal matter and might not be back by opening day.
Analysis: No one knows exactly where K-Rod has gone, but you have to assume he's back in his home country of Venezuela taking care of some business. A must-start Fantasy RP when he's around, K-Rod struggled a little last season and the Mets won't be happy to see him take off this close to the start of the campaign. Monitor this situation closely as we head towards Sunday's lineup deadline for Week 1 (April 4-11). If K-Rod isn't back, the Mets don't really have a whole lot of closing options available, with maybe Pedro Feliciano the favorite to steal a couple of save opps.
Uh oh. We have our first runaway and the season hasn't even started yet.

Re: Who has the best EOG team?
yes, the only time it's a bit of a problem is when they take guys off the dl on monday before lineups are due. Then you are left with 1 too many reserves and illegal lineups. But teams usually announce in advance when the player will come off dl list. So if u don't wait til last minute u will be fine

Re: Who has the best EOG team?
Viejo -
No can do there. Again I feel I am giving up the 2 best Players in the deal.
Miggy = best
Shields = 2nd best
DLee= 3rd best
then the rest are ww really....not real ww...but you know what I mean...Swisher, S.Rodriguez, Werth
And I like Nick Johnson. I traded Fielder because I wanted to get Nick in my lineup.
Its closer than the other one though.

Re: Who has the best EOG team?
why would nyger be in that group?
nyger will be a good #3 of this year most likely, with upside of a #2 of. he won't ever be benched
might start him over snider though since he'll hit leadoff and snider will hit 7 or 8 most likely

Brett Anderson: Ace in the Making

In terms of pitching attributes, there’s no better blend for starters than high strikeout totals, few walks and ample ground balls. The hurlers who can miss bats, limit free passes and burn worms reign supreme.
Oakland’s Brett Anderson fits the profile. One of the shiny baubles picked up in the December 2007 Dan Haren deal, Anderson ripped through the minor leagues (9.7 K/9, 1.9 BB/9, 56.5 GB%) and made the A’s out of spring training last season. As a 21 year-old with scarce experience above A-ball, Anderson was arguably one of the top 15 starters in baseball.
In 175.1 innings, Anderson struck out 7.7 batters per nine innings, while walking just 2.31 hitters per nine. He remained a strong groundball pitcher in the show, with a 50.9 GB%. The lefty’s 3.61 xFIP, based on K’s, walks and a normalized home run per fly ball rate, placed 14th among starters.
In terms of stuff, Anderson went from good to great during the course of the season. Take a look at his velocity chart for 2009:
In April, Anderson sat 91 MPH with his fastball, with an 82.7 MPH slider. By the summer, he was averaging 93-94 MPH with a mid-80’s slider. Overall, Anderson’s heater wasn’t a great pitch in 2009 (-0.56 runs per 100 pitches), nor was his changeup (-0.47). However, he featured some of the best breaking stuff in the majors.
Anderson’s slider (tossed nearly a third of the time) was worth +2.51 runs per 100 pitches. In terms of overall runs (wSL), Anderson’s +22.2 topped all big league starters. His high-70’s curveball also rated well, though the sample is small considering that he threw the pitch less than seven percent (+0.25 runs/100).
Trip Somers’ Pitch F/X tool has different pitch classifications (his site classifies most of Anderson’s breaking pitches as curveballs). Whatever you want to call his pitches, Anderson showed exceptional control when he spun a breaking ball. He threw both the slider and curve for a strike 65.1 percent of the time (62.7 percent MLB average for the slider and 58 percent average for the curve).
For 2010, CHONE (3.92 FIP) and ZiPS (3.78 FIP) both project FIPs in the high three’s. The FANS are even giddier, envisioning a 3.48 FIP.
As that fan forecast attests, people are privy to Anderson’s talents. But he still might be a relative value entering the season. According to MockDraftCentral, the 22 year-old is, on average, going 35th among starting pitchers. That’s after regression candidate Jair Jurrjens and health question mark Brandon Webb.
The only thing standing in between Anderson and acedom is health. The A’s were pretty cautious with him in ‘09, limiting Anderson to 94 pitches per start, but his innings total did increase by about 70 from 2008 to 2009 (it’s closer to 40 if you count his pitching for Team USA and a pair of Triple-A playoff starts in ‘08). Given Anderson’s talent and modest ADP, he could be the rare top prospect who’s actually a bargain on draft day.

Re: Who has the best EOG team?
cbs projections are silly.
Haren only scoring 4 more pts than Shields? shields going against two good hitting teams, and facing either Sabathia or AJ in one of his starts. Shields highly unlikely to get 2 wins
Haren has pitt and sd at home for his 2 starts. Should be -250 in each of those starts (won't be but those are probably truer odds than we'll see). He'll probably score closer to 60 than 32
