NLD 33

Looks like waivers tomorrow. I'll try and post the NLD history info tonight or tomorrow.

The spreadsheet is actually out there if you want to look. Same place as always.

I'll see what I can do Corky. Life has been pretty crazy for me of late.

Hey GB,

How many guys are you going to carry??????

I might go with 28 guys!!!

I wanted to carry a big bullpen, playing in a hitter's park. (I haven't played in hitters parks often.)

Batting wise, I committed to a platoon strategy. That also leads to a big lineup of batters.

I'm really interested to see how this will work out! 28 guys, 16 batters, several injury prone guys . The idea with chisenhall is to try to have the replacement guy vs rhp a little bit nearer to the starter's effectiveness - either Bautista at 3b or Ortiz at DH. If chisenhall gets hurt, then youkilis can start vs the rhp as well. Youkilis will start at 3b vs lhp. I figure that that will reduce bautista's plate appearances a little, and hopefully reduce bautista's injuries a little as well.

Interesting, but it's no like you have *that* many injury guys, you have 5 with 600+ PA.

Are you playing Either in CF?

Chisenhall is a good pick up for a bautista backup.

I'm not sure I've ever seen someone carry 28 players for a season.

Thanks, re Chisenhall. That should be interesting, but I think that he may be good value as a backup to Bautista and Ortiz together.

Re Ethier, yes, I'm platooning him in CF. That is a bit of a weakness on this team - 3 range in CF. And the starting pitching being low $ guys.

Just wanted to say kudos on the (mostly) smooth draft. Good job people! Good luck - and feel free to make some sort of roster moves before the season begins - even Semper is holding pat!
