Brag about your Fantasy/ Rotisserie team thread

by dissento on May 31, 2005 3:47 PM EDT

This is semi-off-topic, but I love talking about fantasy baseball. How are you doing this year? What Mets are helping you? Who's hurt you?

I've have several teams and only one is doing well (lineup after the bump). I dropped Glavine (whom I picked up for almost nothing) off one team already. I managed to pick up Cameron on waiver on the same team, which was nice.

My first place team (Yahoo head-to-head league):

C J. Varitek (Bos - C)
1B M. Teixeira (Tex - 1B)
2B E. Alfonzo (SF - 2B,3B)
3B D. McPherson (LAA - 3B)
SS J. Reyes (NYM - 2B,SS)
OF H. Matsui (NYY - OF)
OF G. Sheffield (NYY - OF)
OF G. Anderson (LAA - OF)
Util R. Hidalgo (Tex - OF
BN M. Ensberg (Hou - 3B)
BN J. Burnitz (ChC - OF)
BN K. Millar (Bos - 1B,OF)
DL B. Crosby (Oak - SS)
SP Jo. Santana (Min - SP)
SP R. Oswalt (Hou - SP)
RP T. Hoffman (SD - RP)
RP B. Looper (NYM - RP)
P M. Clement (Bos - SP)
P D. Davis (Mil - SP)
P K. Benson (NYM - SP)
BN T. Wakefield (Bos - SP)
BN M. Redman (Pit - SP)

Proud to Say

Just jumped into first in my 10 team head to head NL only league. Largely on the strength of our very own david wright and mike cameron.

OBP

Is OBP part of that league? Because obviously, David's dominating there.

I fucked up big time in my draft by not drafting closers. My first fantasy league and I didn't realize how important those save points are. My offense has been carrying me.

Keep your eyes peeled

Keep your eyes peeled for teams w/ injured closers or 'fired' closers (a la Danny Graves). You can usually pick up their replacements for almost nothing. A bad closer (i.e. David Weathers) is better than no closer at all.
