To be clear, I wasn't saying that you need to *keep* good relievers, just that they are very helpful to have. I generally take a more shotgun approach as well,...
I won my NL league with a bullpen consisting of: S Eyre 2009 1.50 ERA (2008 4.21) Affeldt 1.73 (3.33) Calero 1.95 (3.86) Hawkins 2.13 (3.92) Sanches 2.56...
You need good relievers because A) it's helpful to have really good pitchers come in in high-leverage (close and late) situations, and B) good relievers are a...
What I think Andy was saying is that it doesn't matter whether you have a reliever who is a real life closer or not, it just matters that you have some very...
I guess my question on closer is not being understood. Yes, I know I need relievers, and when you say yes, please say why, that is what I am trying to find...
The Ruiz comment got me thinking about my "master plan" as far as becoming competitive. I guess I see things having a reasonable chance to set up for a 2011...
Salty - we agree. There's a huge chance we are both wrong, but we agree. Cabrera -- 7th best is not an all-star. He's a little guy who will never develop...
You need good relievers. ... -- "From the founding of the Republic to 1929, spending by governments at all levels, federal, state, and local, never exceeded 12...
Alright, good input. Here were my thoughts on some guys: 1. Salty - I still haven't given up on him, and I excuse some of his woes in 2009 to his medical...
i think you need a closer, you just don't need to protect them, unless you have a great one. ... From: smolessmooman To: scoresheet-talk@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
I have been reading various web sites that have scoreshhet suggestions. Some say closer not needed, others say it's a necessity. Question: Do you think we need...
Hi! We have several orphan teams in US BL Roaring 20. Several managers on this list are familier with this league. Good league with some great managers. The...
Morgan is not young. Dukes is not a CF. One of Fowler and CarGo isn't a CF either. McCutchen, Rasmus, Maybin, CarGo, Fowler, and Schafer are keepers, and...
Lots of young NL CFs out there this year - what is everyone's opinion on how these guys might rank in terms of keeper value: Maybin N Morgan Stubbs Fowler ...
I see only three definate keepers, trade all the slots you can. Definates: Votto, CarGo, Ethier Marginal or questionable: Salty -- worth holding to see. He's...
Rob, I'll second Brian that I think you are generally have the right idea. I would think that you generally want to trade veteran protection slots at this...
Rob, I believe that you have the right idea. With those keepers and keeping 10 rookies, you will not be competitive next year. You will be in 2011 and ...
I agree that Anderson is a definite keeper. Outman had TJ, so I wouldn't count on him for 2010. I think the rest of the lot are interchangeable. They're all...
Hi Everyone! It's true...Jeff and the team at ScoreSheet are looking for guest bloggers... you can blog on anything sports related, but preferably NFL, NHL or...
Anderson is the class of the group. West, Cecil, and Holland have talent and should have jobs, and are decent keepers but I see all 3 as performance risks. I...
Looking for some feedback on a few young pitchers I have on my roster. Just wondering what people think of their potential to be helpful next year. Brett...
