Thanks Big M,

Yeah, it's easy to like a 100 mil team for sure. We have a lot of power. Didn't start out that way. WM and I figured that everyone would draft power, but you guys didn't. So, we sort of went that direction.

We should hit a lot of HRs probably be 1-2 in HRs once all is said and done. Our D is pretty average and we have decent pitching although our pen isn't as deep as some of you.

As for ratings, it's hard to say in that I don't know about Pen usage nor some of the platoons you guys are going to use.

I can say that C2 looks very good. Our division (the west) will be very tough.

Best O's appear to be C2, Smokey and us. But, most teams have plent of O. Big M and Jeep look like the weakest O, but I haven't balanced for their parks so that could end up being wrong. Big A has the best fielding with C2 close behind.

Overall D (again, with random pen IP assignments) looks like Jeep, Big A and Warrior are at the top. Big M is pretty tough also.

Those are very high level thoughts with tons of caveats. Tell me if you see your team as described above.

Braun or Cabrera

Looking to move one of these players. Looking for upgrade at a IF position or non * SP.

Joe,
Tough for me to do that when my team didn't even merit a mention, guess I'm in for another long season...

Looking to move one of WHICH players????

[ArrylT]

Edited my post. :lol:


Actually made a few moves so I am not as concerned but don't really want to have to have a platoon of Braun/Cabrera. :shock:

[ArrylT]

Btw bigmahon - I think I mentioned this but it probably got lost in the confusion that were the boards these past few weeks :roll:

I'll be in London UK on Sept 6-8th ... not sure where in UK you are but if you're near London and want to meet up for drinks or such just drop me a line.

[bigmahon]

Hey AT, I'm about 3 hours north of London, but let me see what I can do. 8-)

Sorry NP, wasn't intentional, you must not have
the best or worst at any one thing.

Let's see, quick look at NP's squad:
D is below average, overall pit/Def is average-ish
(but, I haven't adjusted for parks or RP usage so
that might be wrong)
O looks middle of the pack
Overall, again, not adjusted for parks, looks
neither really high or really low. In this league,
that's most of the teams. We all seem to come out
about the same. Much more than in the AD leagues I
play in.

So, see, it wasn't a dig at your team, it just
doesn't have really high highs or low lows.

Well, it may not be a dig, but it is disappointing. I THOUGHT I had a
better than average offensive team ( Having Pujols may squew my view) and a slightly above average defensive team.
So to hear it's only averageand below average is a bit of a dig if you will.

Lineups
v LHP
Hill
Span (CF)
Pujols
Kemp (RF)
Stewert
DeJesus (LF)
Morneau (DH
Flores
Escobar

vs RHP
Escobar
Span (CF)
Pujols
Morneau (DH)
Kinsler
Zobrist (3b)
Dejesus (LF)
Schnieder
Kemp (RF)

Hill and Stewert will also be late inning def. replacements for Kinsler and
Zobrist respectively. I think thiswill push my defensive ratings slightly, but I don't know how you account for that. Now you can all run your sims and see just what [b:a2cf826d1e]will[/b:a2cf826d1e] happen.
:wink:

Ugh, bad enough we lost two, but McCann (despite his 1 injury spot) went down for 15. :(

We were lucky to injure Carlos Pena for Silver or we prolly wouldn't have won even one. The guy hit two HRs in both the first two games before he got hurt! :shock:

It's Ok, it's a long season...

So far so good for the Diamond Kings! :D

Interesting to note that my team has scored 72 runs on only 88 hits. :shock:
