anyone have any thoughts on Soriano? He says he won't play in the outfield and the Nationals already have Vidro who can about only play second.

Will Bill Hall or Corey Hart get enough playing time to have any fantasy value?

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 8:51 am

Soriano's very interesting. I don't subscribe to the belief that he's just going to be a dog this season. I think his SBs will still be strong and I think he'll continue to be a solid hitter. I think we'll see a decline but as drastic as some believe.

With regard to the Brewers, I wouldn't expect Hart to see much action unless Lee is traded -- which could happen. Hall will get some ABs but it'll be tough for him to see a lot of time with Weeks locked in at 2B and Koskie and Hardy so good defensively on the left side of the infield. His best chance to play IMO is if Hardy struggles at the plate again.

my take is probably not on both in mixed league formats

Tom, just wondering what Gekko and Moneymaker(I think this is his moniker) are drinking up there on the east coast. I just bought your Fantasy Mag and saw Gekko was best man at Money's wedding? What are the odds of this happening? Two winners are good friends? My friend's are laboring away and waiting tables and these two are winning 100K....AMAZING...

Of course I know Gekkos response to what they drink.....CORONA'S corona time

Do you think they'd move Lee before the season? Or only if they are out of it? The Brewers seemingly could be that surprise team this year and you'd think they'd want to hold onto a veteran RBI machine thumper like Lee. Maybe even extend him...

Hall was taken in the 11th round of the KP Experts draft this week. Surprised the hell out of me.

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 8:56 am

I don't think the Brewers will trade Lee unless they're out of contention. They have shown no indication they want to sign him to an extension so a trade is very possible IMO.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw a two-time champ at some point, Gordon. We definitely have some terrific fantasy players who compete in both of our events. And given the skill level of each of our four champions to date I would be hard-pressed to select one as a possible two-time winner.

Hall went in round 12 of the Magazine draft - to each their own

Is Pedro's toe thing for real or they just playing that up to get him out of the WBC?

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:04 am

The toe injury is real and it's something to keep an eye on. He's going to wear a special shoe designed to alleviate the problem so we'll have to see how he adjusts and if it works.

GoldenEagle · Post by **GoldenEagle** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:06 am

Apparently the market is not giving much of a discount on the toe thing because Pedro's going 2nd round a lot of places, up there behind Santana and close to Peavy...

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:07 am

I wouldn't downgrade him just yet. I think he has at least 1-2 more strong seasons in him.

pancho11 · Post by **pancho11** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:08 am

what type of nymbers do you expect out of delgado -- i have been surprised to see him fall to the 60's in several mocks

Joe Sambito · Post by **Joe Sambito** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:11 am

Is it his drag toe or landing toe?

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:12 am

I think Delgado is shaping up to be a bit of a value pick. I think he'll be good for his usual 30/100+ season.

And the injury is to Pedro's right toe.

pancho11 · Post by **pancho11** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:13 am

As a met fan i cant believe how high reyes and wright are going this year -- i hope they justify those predictions because it will bode well for the team -- i think beltran will have a bounceback yr with Delgado backing him

i know not 40-40 but still very solid

viper · Post by **viper** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:14 am

60 is probably a bit low but speed is going ahead of its time so some power guys are dropping a bit in the 2nd thru 4th rounds

Tom Kessenich · Post by **Tom Kessenich** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:14 am

That's why I took Beltran at 3:1 in the KP Expert draft this week.

pancho11 · Post by **pancho11** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:16 am

that is such a steal its ridiculous

pancho11 · Post by **pancho11** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:16 am

while were taling about my mets

will this be the year they finally knock off the braves?

viper · Post by **viper** » Wed Feb 01, 2006 9:17 am

reyes = 50 steals = drafted early
