Fantasy Baseball - What's your team look like?

[Hollyw00d]

I'd do it. Cabrera wont absolutely kill you if someone gets hurt. I wouldn't mind cutting Santana loose

[NrM]

So after a trade today and some pick-ups, my team looks a little different now:

 

C - Jonathan Lucroy

1B - Victor Martinez

2B - Daniel Murphy (trade)

SS - Starlin Castro (pick-up)

3B - Adrian Beltre (trade)

OF - Michael Brantley

OF - Jacoby Ellsbury

OF - Lorenzo Cain

UTIL - Jorge Soler

 

Bench:

SS/OF - Danny Santana

1B/OF - Steve Pearce

3B - Kris Bryant

C - Wilson Ramos

 

 

SP - Johnny Cueto (trade)

SP - Adam Wainwright

SP - Masahiro Tanaka

SP - Hisashi Iwakuma

SP - Michael Pineda

SP - Jonathon Niese

RP - Craig Kimbrel

RP - Koji Uehara

RP - Kelvin Herrera

RP - Pedro Baez

 

DL - Alex Cobb (will sub in for Jon Niese when activated)

DL - Ian Kennedy

 

 

I got my ass kicked in the first week since all my pitchers sucked for the most part, Jonathan Lucroy hasn't really shown up yet and Michael Brantley didn't even play. So I'm hoping my team going forward is a little better now.

 

 

I'm considering dropping Danny Santana for Asdrubal Cabrera. I like Santana better, but need someone who could also play 2B though I'm still debating whether to do it or not.

 

Solid rotation.

kris bryant just got called up today so that should boost your offense.

I posted this rotation a while ago. Now, picture that I dropped Pineda and Niese, and replaced them with both Archie Bradley and Anthony Desclafani.

 

 

Now look at my rotation:

 

Adam Wainwright

Masahiro Tanaka

Hisashi Iwakuma

Archie Bradley

Anthony Desclafani

Ian Kennedy

 

 

and ask me how my rotation is doing. Gaahhh!

Just saw this, nope. Never actually heard of that. Sam Sanchez is just my name...technically Samuel Sanchez, but yeah.

[Hollyw00d]

Your rotation is doing about as well as my outfield

[DW711]

Overachieving: Semien, Fowler, Carpenter, Lowrie (until he got hurt), Myers, Gray, Cain, Vogt, Kazmir, Keuchel,

 

Underachieving: Zimmerman, Kluber, Cano, Allen, Carter, Eaton

 

Everyone else is about where they should be.

[Hollyw00d]

Seems like every opponent I play has their week of the season against me. This malarkey has been going on since last season

[Hollyw00d]

I picked up mauer off waivers, I think he's going to have a really solid year

[DW711]

We'll see. I'm still passing on him.

Definitely seems like it for the guy I'm playing this week.

 

His offense didn't look too impressive to me outside of the 2 hot Royals:

Salvador Perez

Kendrys Morales

Luis Valbuena

Xander Bogaerts

Zack Cozart

Matt Holliday

Mark Trumbo

Steven Souza Jr.

David Ortiz

 

 

But on Tuesday, his team went 21 for 39 (.529) with 17 runs scored and 14 RBIs, that day alone. 

[DW711]

Yikes

[Hollyw00d]

my opponent this week has already hit 10 HRs and 35 RBI and we haven't even made it to the weekend yet lol

 

 

only saving grace is he's struck out a ton and hasn't walked much

 

I'm glad its april

My pitching has let me down this week though, Chris sale absolutely killed me today

 

 

I scored -1 points for the day. Which is of course, awful. Lol

Skipped doing Fantasy Baseball last year but back at it this year. Due to late draft on Saturday night the day before the season started, my league didn't start until this week, Week 2. Off to a decent start so far at least through the first four days. I got the #1 overall pick for the first time, 10-player snake draft, so I'm curious how this season will go.

My team:

C - Wellington Castillo

1B - Anthony Rizzo

2B - DJ LeMahieu

3B - Adrian Beltre (currently on DL)

SS - Xander Bogaerts (hoping I don't regret choosing him over Lindor which I debated back in forth seconds before the clock ran out)

OF - Mike Trout

OF - Nelson Cruz

OF - Jackie Bradley Jr. (currently on DL)

Util - Jose Ramirez (2B, 3B, OF)

Util - Eric Thames (OF) <--picked him before yesterday's game, so he's already provided 3 HRs for me.

 

Bench Spots:

Eugenio Suarez (3B)

Alex Bregman (3B)

Sandy Leon (C)

Brad Miller (1B, 2B, SS)

Billy Hamilton (OF)

 

 

Pitching:

SP - Jon Lester

SP - Johnny Cueto

SP - David Price (currently on DL)

SP - Rich Hill (currently on DL)

SP - Danny Salazar

SP - Marcus Stroman

SP - Matt Moore (with two pitchers on the DL, I'm using this as a rotating slot)

CP - Zach Britton

CP - Francisco Rodriguez

CP - Rasiel Iglesias

 

 

I actually think I did decent with my starting pitching considering I went into the draft trying to focus mainly on offense. My weakest spot is catcher with Wellington Castillo I'd say, though I'm hoping that the AL East magic will pad his power numbers a bit this year. 

 

There's only 2 DL spots in my league, so currently Jackie Bradley Jr. and Rich Hill are just taking up roster spots on my team unfortunately. Not sure who to drop when my players return outside of potentially Matt Moore, though I do have an overload of 3B options.

 

 

Anyone else playing this season?
