Who are ideal players in Minute Maid?Season ending results

[MICHAELTARBELL]

You mean Hensley in addition to what i have, or instead of someone Vis?

[MICHAELTARBELL]

picked up Street, dropped Wheeler...those BPHR's scared me a bit, i think Street is a nice upgrade..thoughts? :)

[visick]

I think you can get rid of Cordero now.

Street should setup AND close both ways.

Hensley in place of what you've got, is what I meant... :D

I had mentioned Mench solely on what you had already on your team. Sure there are better hitting options for MM, but you had no one to protect you from lefties. And, as I showed you, he did have 28 dingers and 117 rbi's for me at MM. He'd make me think twice about tossing a lefty at you. And the 600 PA's and versatility in both LF and RF helps a bit.

A very good point Jerlins.... :wink:

Good point, but very negligible.

In your division, you have a Fenway (0 LH SP), Yankee (RJ as the lone LH SP) and a Coors (Buhelre as the lone LH SP). At most 22% LH pitching, I don't think you should worry about that at the start of the season :P

Ellis is a great pickup. Is Cora around for a backup? Make sure you have one- sometimes I just use Garabito as my backup and find another cheap bat that can replace him at DH.

Mondesi vs. Young. Yes, Young is a quality on base man. I just usually use Ellis to leadoff vs. LHP, hit him in the lower third of the order vs. RHP and that solves my problem. It's a shame to say goodbye to those 8 #s vs. LHP, but OBP is definitely #1 in this game.

Shelton is a DH beast, if you can afford him. Not at all wild about Cantu at third, his defense is terrible. If it were me I would first make some offers for Weaver/Radke and assuming that won't work, probably downgrade the SP 3/4 slots to upgrade 3B and OF. Seanez available? What about Spurling? I like them better than Cordero. Love the rest of your pen.

If you can afford him, Andrew Jones is another great MM player.

[MICHAELTARBELL]

Cora is gone, gonna use punto as my backup at 2b i guess...

Cannot afford Shelton without alot of moving around of guys, and i like Garabito as lead off vs righties anyway.

The guy who has Radke nad Weaver is in MM too in another division, so I am sure he will not part with them. The options otherwise are pretty poor IMO....

I know Cantu's d is terrible!! Still gonna try him i think....3b not as critical, and it does appear that he will be a great hitter in this park....

Saenez is gone, Spurling is available...just trying to figure out a way i can afford him!

Jones is a dream at this point! :)

[MICHAELTARBELL]

Dropped Myers (gulp!) for Clement and Cabrera, dropped Cordero added Spurling.... 8)

Thanks for all the help guys! It is always fun and a learning experience to build a team with the help of the community!! :)
