Who are ideal players in Minute Maid?Season ending results

[MICHAELTARBELL]

PBTR....

Radke and Weaver both gone.

Agree with Castillo, dropped him for Graffinino.

Picked up Mondesi to platoon with Garabito

Picked up Phillips ( I am assuming you mean Jason at .87 mill :wink: to platoon with Mauer)

Don't really know what to do with Conine...not much left....

Could move Rivera to LF, and stick Encarnacion in RF....then could drop Anderson for a cheaper backup....

Love Mench for MM. Here's his stats on one of my MM teams:

586 73 146 24 8 28 119 52 83 0 0 6 .249 .311 .461

[MICHAELTARBELL]

Interesting, Mench does not appear to be that good vs righties....

[geekor]

Lee has done well for me before, I've seen good number from Payton on others teams, never used him myself though.

[visick]

Mike...

"Big Head" Mench gives you:

20.7 Hit chances
29.7 OB chances
and
34 Total Base chances vs. RH's.

I think there are better choices, although he's got 600 PA's and gives you decent D.

[visick]

I think ya need another pure lefty bat in your lineup Mike.

Larry Walker is available as is:
Overbay
Tyner
Roberts

Walker seems a bit too BP dependent for MM, also have a fenway in division

Overbay good, but have pujols, and like garabito/Mondesi platoon at DH

Will take a closer look at Tyner and Roberts, and considered Lee, but kind of like Encarnacion here, since i would not have to platoon him, since i am already platooning Rivera with Anderson

Would you take Lee over Encarnacion? Only thing is, it looks to me like you would have to get a platoon for Lee....

[geekor]

My suggestions....

drop you platoon at DH and get Shelton, pick up Cantu for 3b (yea I know the def, but he hits a ton) Lee for LF, Roberts for CF (someone has to leadoff)

If you could somehow swing Ellis at the #2 spot (downgrade somewhere??) That would give you a intimidating lineup, though somewhat injury prone.

Roberts, Ellis, Pujols, Shelton, Cantu, Mauer, Lee vs Righties would be very nice.

Of course I don't think you can afford Ellis, so I guess I wrote all this for nothing :P

[geekor]

it depends on where you are planning on batting him. 6th or 7th, he makes a excellent source of cheap power, he isn't a middle of the order hitter.
