What up and coming reliever has the best chance to pull a Soria this year? Chad Qualls. Too old to be considered an up and comer, but that's why he won't cost much. In mixed league snake drafts, like Soria last year, he'll be available in the last three rounds.

Originally posted by rkulaski: Catcher: How do you think the TX catcher situation plays out? Is Teagarden too raw to make a fantasy impact this year?

Originally posted by Peter K.: quote:Originally posted by Crazy Like a Fox: Francisco Liriano, pay big or avoid? Those aren't the only two choices. Well, his second half was so good maybe they are. I think you can legitimately push him as far as you have to to get him, and he could be worth it. But ...

Originally posted by huskyfan88: Fact or Fiction. Matt Kemp will perennially be a 30/30 player beginning this year. Who else besides Grady & Hanley has a shot at it this year? I don't think anyone is going to be 30/30 this year. But if I had to pick one player with the best chance, it would be BJ Up...

Originally posted by Terry Haney: Hey Alex, I met you in Arizona last fall. When I sat by you at the ballpark I didn't realize you were a fantasy baseball legend, I thought you were just a normal grunt like me. You've been mentioned in a couple of books I've recently read about fantasy baseball and ...

Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: quote:Originally posted by Walla Walla: Mr. Patton, You were the man when I started doing Roto Baseball. How do you feel about the changes the game has taken over the last few years. Do you feel the move to 5x5 and mixed leagues has helped or hurt the game? Helped. Yo...

Eric Byrnes seems to be total...

Originally posted by eddiejag: Mr Patton how many labor auctions have you won. Peter Golenbock and I won, or were winning, in 1994. Sorry to say, I haven't in LABR since 1996 (I think). Do you put a limit on your pitching ,most people spend anywhere from 40 to 100. Normally around $100. Why dont the...

Originally posted by MadCow Sez: Gents, who do you think will be the first closer-in-waiting to bust into the job? Jose Arredondo. Not because Fuentes is awful -- he's not -- but because Arredondo is better. When Percival goes down, the Rays are going to go to Balfour, not Wheeler. When Mike Gonzale...
