Help with team before waivers

PostTue Jan 07, 2014 12:42 am

Have posted about a potentially failed team last week, so I'm posting about a team before it starts this time. I'm having problems trying to put together my pitching, as I didn't get what I wanted from the draft. However, I'd like opinions on my hitters as well. Waivers end Wednesday at 5pm so any suggestions would be greatly apprecitated.

Like Barker and Sadecki. Cy Morgan not as much. With Murray, do you need both McMahon and Packard? I'd downgrade one or both and try to add a little to Morgan and get a better SP*

Yaz and Crosetti aren't guys I would normally think of with this small ball type team. I would rather see Cuyler or Raines or Rickey in LF. Have used Pete Hill before, and he's been fine. If McGee was available I'd rather have him.

You might have a lot of injuries.

Are Dale Murphy or Ott available, they play all OF spots and each have a bullet proof card IIRC, if you insist on going with some power bats.

Don't know if he is available, but Pete Rose, the 5.5 M model, makes a pretty good small ball third baseman, and he doesn't get injured.
Since you already have Clines, you could pair him with someone like the 5R Charlie Jamieson, and you have a good leadoff man LF platoon.
I've had good success with the 4.9 M Don Drysdale as a small-ball starter.
If you are looking to downgrade McMahon, the 1.8 M Narleski is a good backup guy to Murray in the bullpen.

Wathan
Kling

Props to Drysdale! I love using him, but feel like I shouldn't, with the longball potential he's got. Also, I was thinking of dropping Yaz to get more money and pick up J. Burkett. Guy's card looks great and he fits small ball better than Yaz. Narleski's gone, but I was thinking of S. Nahem. Guy's cheap and would get me more money for Drysdale. Thoughts?

If you're thinking Burkett, spend a little more and get Mike Donlin.

No need to spend so much at Catcher either

I looked at Donlin's card, he's available, but Burkett's card seems better. Not having played ATGIV yet, please tell me what I'm missing when looking at them. And I don't mean this in a bad sarchastic way, I am curious. Also, I didn't pick those catchers. I'm thinking of the 3.78 Sundberg and cheapo M. O'neil as a backup.

Donlin similar bat better speed, better arm, better clutch........
Times I've used Burkett haven't been that great, Donlin is almost always as success
