And his ERA were that, then there might be cause for alarm...A bad opening day usually only takes 2-4 games to even out. After his ERA should be down to at least 68.00 0r something like that...
You have a very good team. i would think happy thoughts - Maybe pay a visit to one of your favorite redheads, slam a couple martinis and hit those freckles... :twisted: :wink:

Well I'm not disappointed despite a 1-2 start. It was on the road and both losses were by 1 run. Home opener(s) 2nite! :)

Need opinions. I like to make my own decisions but like feedback on what others would have done.
05 league in Ameriquest. Six Ameriquests, couple of Safeco's & Fenway.
Had Bonds with Berkman & Mora in front him and was relishing the RBI's he was going to get. However, had Timo Perez @ 2B and a very weak BP.
Decided to drop Bonds for Beltre, Belliard and depth in BP.
My question - in a hitter's park is the value difference between Bonds & Beltre less than a pitcher's park?
Would you have kept Bonds & the holes vs a more balanced (and still potent) lineup?

Stoney, I thought about that when I re-entered my team in the Tour and it landed in a division with you. I guess we have quite the makings of a friendly rivalry developing. 8)

Stoney, IMHO of 05'...

Bonds was the best player and Johnson the best pitcher...(Duh, I suppose I sound like a genius, now)...But I have seen Bonds struggle and his teams not make the postseason and I have seen RJ go 16-17 or pitch around .500 in a lot of leagues.
I have found that Bonds is most valuable in a RH power park(Wrigley, M Maid etc.) or a pitchers park(Petco, Kauffman, etc.) The natural HR's vs the right side are good in any park. But a closer look at Bonds card indicates that he is quite average vs the leftside unless used primarily for his OB with good power behind him. In RH Parks, with good OB and righties who hit RHP well, Bonds is the monster of the set. If you have enuf lefty killers both RH and LH you will see enuf RHP to get Bonds 50-60+HRs and 150+ RBI. If the opposition pitches lefties or reverses to counter Bonds, you have the hitting to make them pay.
In a low BP HR park with high OB and or BA in front of him, he still drives them in.
My favorite players of 05' were Bonds followed by Glaus with either Wilk and Ford in front of him and Huff behind Glaus. Or Pierre and Freel and Burke in front with Glaus and Erstad behind in a Pitcher's park. I took Giambi on every single team and got him until I started playing in leagues with Bigmahon. For under 1M he covered the entire leftside in the middle with those natural HRs.
I always took the combination of Everett and Furcal at SS, Burke in a pitcher's park and Buck in a power park. I also took Torrealba on every single team.
Johnson, on the other hand seemed wasted in big hitters Parks. But in a Pitchers Park or Lefty Park(Shea) matched with a hard reverse(Alvarez, Lowry etc.) was nearly unbeatable. But just try and get him.
I found Bonds EZ to get with the 1st pick, so played best with him and the crew with midranged SP's in pitcher's parks.
05' was a very tough set of players. And I usually went for the same ones every time. There really weren't a lot of players I liked, so I stayed consistent with my pix.
So, I would have kept Bonds. :wink:
