Fantasy League Discussion #4

Is Wieters the biggest bust?

212 AB

.231 BA

15 Runs

18 RBIs

5 Homers

If not...who exactly IS the biggest bust that is still playing every day?

 i was stoned bro, eaze up a bit on me...       

my way has been working up to this point, its a 1 game move vs these astros and im using this roster slot to add/drop SP's during each week, he pitched really good up until the middle of the 7th innings last outing and had a 8-1 lead but got into trouble,  he K'd 7 last start and they just left him in to long,   your right though, its BRUCE CHEN...

sparky:  i have absolutely no interest in zumaya, i have clippard and marshall for middle relief guys that add a few K's each wk and both clipp and marshall have more W's then some guys everyday starters in here...   marshall is 5-2 and clippard is 8-3 with 50 K's..

why u want uribe? u just got andrus for SS right? 

 i would like morneau but gonzalez gives me the same stats just a lower AVG but more steals.....

cargo:  .302  10hr, 41 RBI, 41 R with 8 SB

morneau: .350  13hr, 43 RBI, 40 R's with ZERO SB's...

so its like zumaya for uribe and that leaves me no SS, 

Bed time boys. Catch everyone tomorrow. Time for a new thread after these past couple nights.

Well I wanted Uribe for an all around guy. I really like him and the 1 time I was going to get him, the little note said he would be out for a week.

And I really like Cargo as well. I didn't notice that you didn't have any SS left. I can give you Theriot if you would like. I just threw Zumaya in there as I was going to send you a 1-2 trade and drop him but decided to throw him in anyway. I like that combo a lot though.

I've been dealing with jpero for about 2 and a half years now. Papi_4_MVP and I try to explain to him while the Orioles are building through their system, the Yankees and Red Sox are doing the same thing AND they can go out and buy the best players on the market. Those 2 make it so that the O's won't be competing anytime in the near future. And the odds they pull something out of their ass like the Rays have is very unlikely.

sleep lol

 his knows baseball....no doubting that, but doesn't really know fantasy....its differentm he even agrees to that, i think this is his first year

i know some buddies who knows football and are really smart, but me and manram rape them in fantasy football every year because only 1 of them is fantasy smart....

for fantasy??? no way its him....

look at the Top 25 prerank hitters.....Ellsbury, Kinsler....Feilder borderline since he is a 1st round pick

I don't consider Siezmore a bust because Yahoo Sports is on crack preranking him #21 anyways

Matt Kemp would have something to say about that. Dont get me wrong Sizemore is SOLID. I was not high on him this year as some others. I hate having guys on my team coming off any injury and to pick a player like sizemore at the end of the 1st round or 2nd round is just to much risk where there a players there that you know 100% will perform for you

My list of biggest bust of the 1st half

Chase Utley- 1st round selection being out produced by 11 other 2nd basemen.

Ian Kinsler- Dude is BAD. VERY BAD

Mark Teixera- Was so bad the 1st half and could have sunk you to the bottom of the standings with the way he has played.

Prince Fielder- 13 HR and 26 RBI. Is that possible?

Joe Mauer- Another top round pick who is showing once again he has no power and that last year was a fluke. Picking this guy this year was something i was never going to do. Not because he is bad but the price you would have to pay to get him. A top 15 pick

Justin Upton- Pry the most hyped up player going into the seasn for fantasy players. A classic example of why you draft players on what they are and not what the have the potential to be.

Pablo Sandoval- Plain and simple he is a fat slob

Brain Mccann- A top 3 catcher my ass. This guy is killing me this year. PS piece of shit Mccann. Varitek has 7 HR and you have 6. He has 70 AB's and you have 180

Aaron Hill & Adam Lind- Biggest flukes of them all last year. They has been a big .

Derek Lee and Aramis Ramirez. They play on the Cubs. Need i say more.

Others recieving votes:

Curtis Granderson, Markakis, Bay, Figgins, Carlos Lee, Adam Jones, Lance Berkman, Wieters, Bartlett and Beckham

Draft day and free agent steals:

Vladdy has been fantastic

Alex Rios is putting the best number up across the board of anyone. Just imagine if the White Sox had hitters to hit in front of him. He would have 50 RBIs easy.

Carlos Gonzalez, Brett Gardner, Colby Rasmus, Scott Rolen, Chris Young, Vernon Wells, Paul Konerko, Nick Swisher, Martin Prado, Kelly Johnson ( I still want to have your babies ) Marlon Byrd, Troy Glaus and Jose Bautista
