i agree with gg here...weeks has a long way to go to be a nugget...i am thinking he is more of another kind of nugget!! imo

Hey Shawn

I had pick #3 as well in main and am probably one of the few that believe Weeks will be at 22-32 270 Avg Had choice of Wright or Reyes at 3 went with Wright was trying to attain 78/78 with 1st 3 picks

1 Wright

2 Ichiro

3 Rios

4 Hafner

5 Weeks

6 Smoltz

7 C Young

8 Cabrera

9 Helton

10 Capps

Weeks at 5-3 shocked my league mates but to me if you think he is going to give you 25-35 105 rons even with 260 270 average what does it matter what his ADP is if you know he will not make back to you in the 6th Run Ricky Run Hopefully like Run Forest Run.

FYI: I hear CCD Gold is trading at $100,000 per ounce.

35 is quite a reach. The ballpark better be more than neutral.

I think you do well enough without overprojecting, Shawn.

Right after the draft, do you think about the negatives or positives about your team. I am a negative thinker after, positive during.

King of Queens · Post by **King of Queens** » Sat Mar 22, 2008 3:04 am

Zimmerman + 15 SB

equals

Wright

It'll be awfully tough for Zimmerman to match Wright's rbi with Guzman in front of him.

[/QUOTE]Are you saying Zimmerman won't have a chance to knock in Ms. Guzman because Milledge will have already knocked him in?

I'm projecting lots of extra base hits and singles/SBs for Milledge. If it happens, that can only help Zimmerman in the RBI deparment.

Any concern on Zimmerman returning from the fractured hamate bone in his left wrist? He had had the bone removed in December. Previous players like D Lee and Ortiz had their power zapped for a year after this

That's an incredibly deep staff you got there, Jeff -- just no lockdown #1. Great blend of power/speed guys for the offense. You must have been excited that some of those guys were there for you.
