I need some fantasy help..?

Question

This is my fantasy baseball lineup:

C: Ryan Doumit

1B: Albert Pujols

2B: Brian Roberts

SS: Ryan Theriot

3B: Carlos Guillen

IF: Conor Jackson

OF: Marlon Byrd

OF: Raul Ibanez

OF: Randy Winn

Util: Chipper Jones

DL: David Murphy

What changes should I make? Im in a 10 team league and I'm in 5th

Answer 1

Is there a feature that let you sees top performing free agents? If so you could add the ones with the most fantasy value and I would probably drop Marlon Byrd. He had a good stretch there, but I don't know if he'll be cosistent. Good luck

Answer 2

You have a fantastic pitching staff.

Your Outfield is probably (No Offense) the worst I've ever seen. Get someone with a high PR15, because whoever is hot, in this point of the season, will get you up in the standings. You definitely might want to drop Randy Winn, and pick someone up like Alex Rios, Nate McLouth. If their available, that is.

I also have Ryan Doumit, and I am sure glad he's on that team.

Keep Co-Jack. He's one of the most underrated players in the Majors. Also, Theriot and Ibanez are two very important keeps. Keep them, definitely for the playoffs.

Good Luck!

To be quite frank, your supporting SP just reeks...in a 10 team league, there is no way that you should have all karstens, ziegler, nolasco and garza...none of those guys even warrant roster spots in 12 teamers. They are deeper league players....that being said, there should be plenty of higher-quality pitchers on the wire. This being said, your overall staff is still pretty decent with lee, duch, and czam - volquez would have been great to get rid of, especially in a case like yours, for a high bidder. You could have really used the OF help he could have got you.

Your relief core is pretty good...right now a few great closer finds include eddie guardado, chris perez and washington's hanrahan (though id be surprised if he is still around, he has been closing in washington for a while now- he is especially good because he has SP eligibility). It is a good core right now, what with K-rod and everything...but if you grab one or more of those aforementioned players, that should throw you over the top in the saves category.

As previously stated, your OF isn't great. Ibanez, contrary to what was thought throughout the week, is staying in seattle for the rest of the year - terrible news for fantasy owners, really (check out the link). The best way to go about improving it at this point would be to thoroughly check the waiver wire and go with the hot weekly hand. The best way to do this in your situation is to check out the top rated OF from the past week...that should certainly help your situation (this strategy also comes in handy throughout the fantasy year, as randoms always pop up...ala josh hamilton)

Your infield is definitely the strongpoint of your team, so I wouldn't worry about changing it around.

On the whole, the team is good...to get yourself into a potential bye situation in the playoffs, you will definitely need to take my above advice and be very active on the waiver wires...there's a lot out there if you know how to use the database!

Good luck in the playoffs, my friend...hopefully these hints make your team a champion!

I have a question for you !  WHY oh WHY, do Americans

like Baseball so much ? ......

It is such a weird game, something you expect to be

played at High School level for fitness and sport, but not

to be taken to the level Americans have, ????

i like all kinds of Sport , but this is one I Just Don't get !!

Anyway if you are in this game and understand it, you need

to trust your own judgement !  Go for what you think is right.

Finally.....I can think of a lot More and BETTER to Fantasize about !

sorry Honey *

Move Guillen for Longoria, or Youkilis
