Monday Morning QB: Post Waiver Assessment Opportunity

[Semper Gumby]

Panzer,

Thanks.

Almost time to put down my pencil and get my test scored.

It will be fun -

Langston always scares me to death, but he will K folks. I've never had him over a full season. Ace is right about BSmith. He has low WHIP, and should do well just about anywhere.

I always like Morris, but he never seems to have a breakout year for me. If he cost about 4M, he'd be a steal, since he'll win around 15 ball games if he gets decent run support, 18 or so if he gets a good card. He'll give you IP. Stewart has high hits-inning on some cards, and seems overpriced to me. Bannister might be good. Tanana works out well if shifted to a pitcher's park (and really is a decent K pitcher, but no better, perhaps, than Bosio). Welch might be a good fit

Again, if you get good cards, it won't matter about K's. I just like good K rate because a K halts all chances at movement on base paths, kills rallies, and takes pressure off the D. All your pitchers could work out, depending (damned Mystery card!). All I know is, I tried some pitcher's who gave up a few hits (like Ken Forsch), and just couldn't stop anybody. Personal preference, but I like guys like Soto, Hurst, Key (who has some bad K years), Higuera (when I can get him), and Henke out of the pen. Just what I dig, man.

all discussion is moot, you should have posted that you have to worry about me in your division ;)

[Semper Gumby]

You're right.

Of course, you can't be too confident with the results from our last series.

The upside for me - I know a little more information about G Nelson's card that I would want at this point, e.g., homeruns galore vs. RHBs. :(

Otherwise, I'm thinking Rod Carew needs a raise. :( :roll:

[DOUGGRAY]

those stats tell us nothing. Nelson could still have a stud card. All the rolls could have been easily on the hitter cards. I wish I could say Willie has his stud RP year ;)

[Semper Gumby]

Oh, I am more than happy to believe that Nelson's card is a diamond in the rough. :D

Above all, I am just happy to be back playing this game.

Of course, [b:07998b99dc]I do miss the debate / exchange from the NLD gang.[/b:07998b99dc] Hearing the mouths' roar is what makes the game exciting to the bitter end.

I fear this league will be stone cold silent until one team pulls away from the rest. :cry:

Frankly, I'd like to see folks show up and post what cards they think they have before the season ends.
