I think Grandserson needs to prove he can hit left handed pitching before I would take him that early. considering granderson had a FANTASTIC fantasy season last year while not hitting lefties...imagine what kind of season he'll have if he improves a little bit against lefties this year (it's hard to hit any worse). [/QUOTE]I won't own him this year. He is all yours!!

Hi Shawn,

Who was your top sleeper (Round 20-30) heading into last year? Did you get him on any teams?

Thanks I guess Kotchman and Kubel. I had them on a few teams. They didn't live up to my expectation.

Shawn: all I did was read the board; my buddy Kenny says you're a great guy and I can't wait to meet you in Vegas; Any friend of Jesse's has to be OK; I can tell you post from the heart. Maybe one of these years you can join the Luny league, wait, the SACK Satellite...

Shawn,

I think by the looks of Gekko adding his two cents throughout the chat that he is envious and would love to have his own "expert" chat time, do you see the same envy? I don't think so...I think he could do a chat if he wanted to. Maybe Greg will schedule him on March 17!

Keeping with the "Super Tuesday" theme...if put to a vote...how would you vote.

A) Keep the "Friday DL" as is.

B) Eliminate it all together.

C) Open it up to include all players...regardless of DL status.

Shawn,

I am doing my first auction this year- give me 3 off the cuff do's or don'ts to help me be successful.

Look forward to meeting you in 5 weeks. Don't sit and wait to see how the auction flows. Know the prices and be ready to play.

Don't get involved in players you don't want.

Don't price enforce unless you can live with that player.

You need a 3B or a SP in round 8 and the best 3B left is Beltre, but you have Halladay, Sheets, Escobar and Hill available who do you take?

Shawn, What print publications do you find helpful, i.e. The Globe, Herald, USA Today, BB America, others?

Brandon Lyon was just announced as closer for Arizona over Tony Pena. Should real fantasy drafts happen in January?

Sheet is sliding a bit so you might get him a little later. His spring will influence his value.

I'd gamble on Hill over Halladay and Escobar.

If Betre made it, I would grab him. You might get Sheets in the 9th.

I haven't bought the Globe in year. They don't put in good dog racing info.

I like BB America prospect book.

Forecaster, Wiseguy Baseball...I'll read anything you never know when you find something you like.

Do you think the closer runs will continue to be as early in the draft this year, like they have been in previous years?
