Fantasy league discussion part #2

hmmmm well i completely disagree....noone wants beckam, he is not going good right now and only did it for a half a season, like anyone if he gets hot yes someone will pick him up, but no one is going to trade for him

   ya gotta remember, who cares if you drop him if you never play the guy....he has no value to you ya know

also, beckam is not exactly ranked in the top 50 preseason lol

and Eric Young is on anybody who pays attention to baseball prospects radar, if you are serious about fantasy then i would hope most people know about him....
   but here is the thing with him....look at his minor league numbers, yeah he can steal bases but stealing bases does you no good when you can get on base. The guy has never hit for a good average so now in the majors he is going to?  not worth a spot IMO  but we'll see

its like heyward, people all over his nuts and he is a great prospect and should be a very good player but so far he has been very average
  young pitchers can excel, young hitters that excel are more rare IMO

look at that person Mark Crapxiera....took him some time to get "good" too

Well EY should be getting his chances as they could put him left field or at 2nd base. And they plan to from what I've heard. I just don't know how long he'll stay up. He's only up because Hawpe went on the DL and I'm not sure if he'll be sent back down when he is activated.

And I know the whole "you can't steal 1st base" thing with Gardner in past years. But...I really throw minor league numbers out when a guy gets called up because of his "ability". I mean...Cervelli was a .200 hitter in the minors, they called him up for this defense, and he hit around .300 last season in his limited chances and now hitting over .420 in the chances he gets.

And same with Chris Tillman. Wasn't it you who asked me why I picked him up and asked me if I saw his minor league numbers over his first 2 starts? Well he pitched a no hitter last night in the minors. I only dropped him because apparently he isn't back up yet as they had a day off and skipping a guy's start before they brought up Tillman. He may still be on my radar when he comes up.

Now the best part about Heyward is I basically got all the power numbers from him. I got all by 1 home run and 2 RBIs. He's in a serious funk right now. So I traded him at the right time. I forgot who for though.

And HEY...Tex will be ready to go on Sunday. It's the start of May.

Bengie...I have Yadier.

alright, this kelly johnson shit is starting to get ridiculous

sparky....i'll be back later to adress the above posts lol

He's obviously on roids.

I just want to post my other league's team. It's literally my "Fantasy Team" because only about 3 others follow the league but it's still entertaining.

I get what your saying, but perfect example in heyward....what he is doing is nice and great as a rookie but there are a ton of outfielders better for FANTASY purposes, ya know what I mean

Dont hate. Kelly Johnson is a god. Thank you Brian Roberts for getting hurt

Alright...somebody give a big bat. Carl Crawford is available if the price is right...but I need a HUGE bat for Crawford.

And don't offer me anything ManRam...all your big bats came from me.

And does anybody want Kazmir yet?

Alright...explain your reasoning for this trade? I know you wanted to get rid of Rios...but getting rid of Kinsler for Sizemore and Liriano? Rios alone should catch you Sizemore's ability. He hasn't been the same in a while.

why don't you just drop that bum Kazmir, no one wants him lol

let alone trade for him

Because I know he'll get me some good starts. So I might as well keep him until I need an open spot from an guy coming off the DL.

ooo alright. well i messaged you and asked if there was anyone on your team who you would not trade and you sent me back a christman list haha. you need any closers?
