Some interesting last-minute adds & drops last night - I've got a new centerfielder, and finally found a reverse LH starter (Thanks Riggo!) -
I'm just pounding out the homeruns guys - just don't hit the ball at any of my fielders, ok? They seem to have trouble catching and throwing - damned short Spring Training if you ask me! :lol:

Glad I could be of assistance [b:d846a41a51]Kav [/b:d846a41a51]- the match-up pitching strategy didn't look so appealing after other managers adjusted their lineups....

Uh oh, watch out for luckyman! He's running away with it already! :lol:
And riggio, it doesn't look like Hollandsworth appreciated being called "Hollandworthless" by you. Man, he tore your boys up in Game 6. :P

I guess you didn't look ALL the way to the bottom of the list...my thundering lumberjacks are trailing yours (and the league) by about a hundred points in batting, slugging and OBP! :shock:
My continuing motto: No place to go but up! :D

I rue the day I invited them to play in their first league together............

luckyman's preseason picks...
by RiggoDrill » Sat Feb 04, 2006 8:35 am
[quote:0eb02ff273]From League Mail...
[b:0eb02ff273]EAST: cristano[/b:0eb02ff273]
His line-up has some solid platoons. Of course, it could be a weakness if
the platoon players don't hit on the right side of the card. In his case,
this would mean: if his specialists-vs-rhp (Nixon, Hollandsworth, Sweeney)
face lefty pitching. For this to happen, one would need to have lefty relief
coming after a right-handed SP. Unfortunately for the rest of the league
(and fortunately for crsitano), left-handed relievers have been largely
ignored by the other owners. I estimate that over 85% of all relief
pitching will be provided by rhp. With such an estimate, he doesn't have
to worry about his first place. Just put my hand on Guardardo for this
reason.
[b:0eb02ff273]Central: Bigmahon[/b:0eb02ff273]
Good mix of on-base, slugging, and players suited for defense and down
in the line-up. Team lacking of a truely first-hitter, but the suite Thomas-
Mora-Drew-Guillen is perhaps the most solid in the leauge. His biggest
weakeness is vs hard-throwing SP, but this group, along with lefty
relievers, is also virtually absent in this league (for a good reason, I
guess, with so many teams turning to lefty offense). At least, I've done
my part in picking up Hermanson.
[b:0eb02ff273]West: spicki[/b:0eb02ff273]
Team build on offense, in a division that is friendly to the lefty power in
his roster. Could be vulnerable vs teams that destroy lhp---which perhaps
explain the welcoming of Lowell and Renteria in his division---but even
then, he has hard-throwing rhp relievers to back-up his lefty starters, and
he has the offense to come back from behind. Could be very dangerous
in Coors.
[b:0eb02ff273]Wildcard: luckyman[/b:0eb02ff273]
I'm going with my team with the wild card. Hopefully, the Strat gods are
pulling for my team...[/quote:0eb02ff273]

...yeah, that's was before kaviksdad got Lowry+Patterson for a bunch of useless players. :cry:
It was also before cristano drops very good Osuna from his bullpen in, at a time when he had about 1M left to spend that , I thought, would be going to secure his bullpen. :wink:
