PAL. http://www.scoresheet.com/CWWW/AL_Robinson.htm My original rotation a couple of weeks ago was Lackey, Haren, Wang, Joba and Uehara, with Pettitte as my...
I have Peavy, Hamels, Zambrano, Dempster, Kershaw and Nolasco. For week one I will leave Hamels out, he has not pitched a solid A game and is still trying to...
I own Cahill. My rotation has Lackey, too, in addition to Ervin Santana on the shelf. I think I'm going to put Cahill in the bullpen until he shows he can...
I'd set Hamels, Peavy, and Zambrano in rotation slots 1-3, then play matchups week-by-week with Dempster, Kershaw, and Nolasco for the final two spots. - Derek...
You'll often being using the guys who aren't hurt. FWIW, I think I'd start with Kershaw as #6, or perhaps Dempster in weeks that Kershaw starts at home....
I would really consider your match-ups week to week. Uehara, especially, I'd be wary to use until he shows he can pitch. If he is pitching against a good...
Agreed about using the guys who aren't hurt. But -- while you can't literally predict who will have the best weeks -- you can do things like use the RHPs more...
Follow-up for Dave Barton - or Jeff, of course, if he knows, PLEASE - When a pitcher is relieved with runners on base and those runners eventually score with...
I personally don't have the time or inclination to research matchups or home field, so I'd have Kershaw listed first in my bullpen. BTW, you have a very nice...
John, I understand you are counting on a Barton to respond for ultimate credibility, but I believe they have previously established that stat-matching is a...
Garth's answers are all correct (as usual). For his questions, I think the answer is somewhere in between. You can get a feel for the actual luck balancing...
Thank you, Garth. Thank you, Dave. I remember hearing that ERA matching gets turned off when a reliever comes in with runners on base, but that was just in...
Thanks Derek,Garth and Beancounter for your advice. Like I said for week one I am going to go with Peavy, Zambrano, Dempster, Nolasco and Kershaw, after that I...
Ok.. I have Weiters and Clement as my starting catchers.... and both are in AAA. So, am able to play any other player at C? Or does AAA C come out and...
Unfortunately, C is the one position that nobody other than a qualified catcher can play. So you're stuck with C-AAA for the time being, unless you can make a...
I had Fielder as my primary 1B, but picked up Helton deep in the draft (I had to grab him at that point even if he's LH). Obviously spring training stats are...
Helton is still an elite bat if he's anywhere close to 100%, even if he doesn't have the power he once had. If you can find a way to get them both into your...
This sorted thing of keeping your star studded rookie in the minors until he is out of super two danger is happening on a regular basis - as regular as these...
I was considering that. I have Victorino, Justin Upton, and Mike Cameron/Cameron Maybin/Seth Smith in the outfield. With that huge defensive hit I'm not sure...
... not even in the picture ... I don't think Maybin is going to hit enough this year, and while Upton has all the upside in the world, it's not clear that...
Why would Victorino not be in the picture? There is a 20 point difference in defense between them in the outfield. That's a .1+ OPS swing in Victorino's favor...
I think Helton has been really undervalued this year. Yeah, I know he's getting older, and he had the back issues last year, so his health was a question...
Although in fairness, I think signing Ken Griffey had more to do with hoping a fan favorite would put butts in seats to watch a rotten team, than it did with...
The trouble is that speed and defense can be hard to quantify. For example, Fielder will outhit Maybin/Cameron/Victorino no doubt, but bad defense can have a...
We just had team 2 become available and are looking for an active, long term owner to take it over. Jeff Barton will allow the orphaned team fee of $39 but we...
Well, you're the one who asked the question so I presume you just wanted some other opinions, not to argue with those opinions... I sure don't have any...
Overpay for someone else's catcher. I have Mauer and Napoli. So I found someone with more catchers than he needed (there were two such teams) and gave up a...
