Sleezy Pre-Card

Cummings - you just killed me with the Kotchman pick. If you want to swap him & your next pick for my next two, let me know....

Warrior, just to let you know Hensley doesn't have a starter rating.

[SGTD]

I can make my pick anytime after QK, I will keep checking in, It's me and the son while the wife is out :D . SGT D

Sorry 'bout that qk.

I think I'll hold onto to Koch. at the mo. since he's the only lefty I've got right now with some pop. Pretty much all that I had targeted have been taken...I don't even know whom to pick next :oops:

[mfsleeze]

Just a reminder guys, we have to draft a strat legal team, which means:

2 C
5 guys who can start
5 guys who can relieve

this doesn't mean you have to be under the cap now, but the 25 you draft here must meet those requirements

Ok that was a brutal brutal decision - I was all set to go with a Kotchman/someone platoon at 1B and put Tony Clark at DH. I imagine Griff will have an injury on the 3/11 roll, which I guess I can live with for that production, in desperate need of A) lineup protection for Clark, and B) a LH hitter with full BP HR power vs LHP.

The upside is I don't need to platoon Griff at DH, leaving my only platoons at 3B & CF, the downside is that my D at 1B stays a 3, and my injury risks go up....oh well. So my D is a 1 at 2B, 2 at SS & CF, and 3's everywhere else. Probably average or a bit above....hmmm....

Qk,

You'll be in my division so I probably shouldn't be trying to assist you (and not that you need it), but you might need a platoon at catcher too. Martinez is not so hot vs LHP and he's got -13 clutch and 23 DPs. I also noticed that your entire team will bat LH vs RHP.

[qksilver69]

I will likely bat Martinez 7th or 8th vs LHP, not too concerned there. The 23 DPs suck though. Is the -13 clutch vs both sides or just LHP? Can you tell me what the clutch is vs RHP? I should be getting my CD-ROM in next week or so I hope...forgot to order early this year!

Also, while we're there, can you give me clutch info on Griffey?

So on my lineup, damn, you're right! I thought Sullivan was a RH hitter but he bats left & throws, right, I been done in by ESPN!!!!

That said, nothing new for those of you that have played my teams in the past. I generally will have one or two bench RH that can hit RHP but tend to let my parks do the work of countering lopsided reverse RHP....I may need to look at other options though, like to have at least 1 RH stick to keep guys honest....hmmm....

[SGTD]

I picked, back to Qk :D . I grabbed C. Ray and N. Cotts for the Bullpen, have no clue how much they will cost :? . SGT D

[hendrix08]

I've got to run, but here you go...

Martinez has the same clutch and DP ratings on both sides of his card. Ouch!

Griffey is not much better with -7 clutch and 20 DP vs LHP and -10 clutch and 21 DP vs RHP. Ouch again!
