G.Stanton in Progressive?

DH or no DH? Take a look at Quintanilla. He'd be a cheap platoon with Altuve and give you the $ to go after a CF. As much as I like Beltran, I dont think I could ever stomach playing a 4 in CF

Yes. DH. Quint looks alright. Altuve/Salty are my DH's right now with Scutaro at second. A 4 in CF is real bad eh? looks like i' m going to have to give up on Beltran.

Why are you carrying 3 Catchers? in the online SOM, it wont allow your last catcher to get hurt, just carry 2.

I'm platooning the first two guys and then Salty will be my DH vs Righthanders. Is it a big problem having 3 catchers?

1) Andrus is the most overpriced pile of crap for SS. Yea he's a 1e17, but Ryan is a one and sadly they end up hitting about the same, but one casts 3 mil less. The one card I will not carry in this set is that one. Maybe just my personal opinion, but I feel I'm right on it.

Whoa, I noticed Andrus wasn't used much in this set but I thought maybe him being a Right handed w and super defense would fit in nicely with all the progressive teams. By the tone of your message I will take your word for it that he stinks!!

Guess elvis is going back to the graveyard! so much work managing one team, how do you guys handle multiple teams!?!?

p.s. B.Ryan is available ... all the other SS are pretty crap. A.Simmons, Aybar ... that's about it.

Aybar not a bad option at all for progressive, especially if you're facing lots of lefty starters

The Owner: cbd12 must be reading my posts because he just picked up Beltran and Aybar!! lol

yea Aybar would have been the way to go, but too late now.

So here's the issue that could happen (doesn't mean it will). Say one catcher is injured, one is catching and one is DH. Then your C get's hurt, it won't move the DH to the C position (then te pitcher would have to hit) so you will have a 5(+5)e55 at C.

Many people have used their backup C at DH, but it's just something to know could happen, just in case.

And I JUST realized, so you're playing Ortiz at 1B?

Also, not to nit-pick, but Salty has a better arm and T rating, he should be playing Catcher, not Kotteras.

Great thanks! That is very good to know. I've dropped the 3rd catcher.

Yes, Ortiz will be playing 1b. Here is my final team :
