In search of 400 HR's-392 @ thru game 144

[durantjerry]

Using LeCroy/Valentin at catcher, Pena/Niekro at 1B & Thomas at DH vs lhp's. D Lee, Konerko, Clark, Giambi, Edmonds & Sexson available in FA. There are four Safeco's in the league, along with a Shea and a PNC. Two Safeco's and a Minutemaid in my division. Aside from staying under the cap, $$$ is no object in the pursuit of the longball.

Not too crazy about Lecroy Meself. Much rather have Fasano, gave me 39 HRs in Wrigley.

Might also take a look at reggie sanders.

Both Fasano and Sanders seem to be avail. according to Berce.

Clark of the ones you mentioned would be my 1st choice.

Good luck.

I considered Fasano. One league I was in LeCroy hit 27 HR vs LHP's. I will check out Fasano though. I wouldn't need Valentin with Fasano and he ould also be able to bomb away in Minutemaid and I could get some pitchers.

[cummings2]

I just figured that for only .75M over Lecroy Fasano gives you a few more HRs. I think that with Lecroy you pay for OBP whereas with Fasano you pay for SLG. Either way I think you'll be fine there.

If you still like lecroy you can try platooning in 1st. I like Niekro's card there. Only time I used him he was abit of a dissapointment though, but I still like that card a lot.

...or having the three can help cover INJ for Thomas. Just plenty of choices.

I have Sanders at Coors and he has 27 HRs in 303 abs after 126 games. I have 254 HRs. Clark 52, Glaus 37, Kent 37, A Ramizez 28, Vlad 28 and sanders 27.

[durantjerry]

254 after 126 is OK, but still only about 325 for a year. 400 is probably unobtainable unless absolutely everything falls right, especially opposition ballparks. There are not as many total slugfests as there were in previous years. I like Sanders, but I have Thomas at DH, who is very similar and Gibbons in RF who I think can hit 40 with all the LH parks. I have had him hit about 40 in the past. Floyd in LF has hit over 50 for me in US Cell.

On Pace for 513, sure some production might come down...but A-Rod, Glaus, Floyd, Gibbons and Utley will surely hit much better.

Lookin' good DJ. 8)
