Damn that is one ugly looking staff!!

Balticsquids · Post by **Balticsquids** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:24 pm

unlike,u i refuse to waste top picks on such an injury prone position such as starters ......And PS: My 2 scrups Lopez and Thomson have eras in the 3, and i got them in very late rds , unlike your so called studs with eras in the 4. and ofcourse that hurt guy ..care to wager now?

Are you kidding me???? In a heartbeat!!

Balticsquids · Post by **Balticsquids** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:34 pm

o,yea and even garcia has an era in the 3 .........this is all fun and games and love the talk,but bro ur team is really flat out the worst posted so far

Are you kidding me??? My fourth starter is better than your ace!!!!

Big Fish · Post by **Big Fish** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:45 pm

Hey Squid.

I thought I would reply given my penchant for fish. Your team look decent. Overall, a balanced team that looks a little light on SB.

At least you dont have Buehrle like I do. What a mess "shagging" fly balls. Ozzie Guillen is one of the worst managers in the league.

Here is my team, THE FIGHTING AMISH

C Lo Duca, Santiago

1B - Pujols

2B - Loretta

SS - Guillen

3B - Mora

CI - Casey

MI - Roberts

OF - Bay

OF - Alou

OF - Huff

OF - J. Jones

OF - C. Floyd

Bench:

Pena 1B, Lofton OF, Mackowiak OF, Rivas 2B

SP - Radke

SP - Buerhle

SP - Lopez

SP - C. Lee

SP - Contreras

SP - N. Robertson

RP - Lidge

RP - Hawkins

RP - Linbrink

RP - R. Madsen

RP - Riske

RP - J. Mateo

I like my team alot except for Buehrle injury. That hurts. However, my offense is untouchable I believe, specifically the infield. Lofton and Rivas and Mackowiak will give me some much needed speed along the way.

Ace, i didnt waste a pick under 12 on a starting waste(i mean arm) and my era is still lower the yours ........Bro,you are Starting travis Lee(love the guy) Juan Gonzo,and Toby hall .......enough said

Balticsquids · Post by **Balticsquids** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:49 pm

Hey,Big Fish,yea i know im hurting in SB, that is why i had to waste a pick on sander(that old fart) Your team looks very nice ..Not to sure about roberts , to many injrys to the legs for a burner, but u also have a nice bench that could fill in ........Only chance i have of a few points of speed is Iguchi(if he Pans out) or a Fa

Squids - I too took a DH and not sure I liked it. Hafner is certainly better then Durazo. Our only overlap is Hinske - which is my weak spot(21st round). You have Ensburg covering him, so your not as weak as it looks.

Big hitter, Gagne & Rivera looked like the way I would have aimed if I was picking 1-6 overall.

I also had Edmonds as my #36. Where did you get Hafner - he went 7/5 in Chi 4 where Wells went 7/12 with me picking 7/13 and snaked.

So who were your 5,6,7?

Overall solid based on my rankings.

Big Fish · Post by **Big Fish** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:50 pm

PW Express.

I think you have some problems with your team quite honestly. Gonzo and Lee alone will kill you. You need quality production from these 2 spots and you just wont get it with those 2. However, that being said work the wire early and often and perhaps you will be able to improve your squad. Your team looks like mine last year, my first year, which finished 13th.

I learned a lot over the winter, dont take SP or RP early as they will kill you. I took Lidge in the 3rd and did not draft Radke until the 11th.

Buerhle (this hurts bad!!!) was 12th. The rest of my pitching were picked 17-30.

Big Fish · Post by **Big Fish** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:53 pm

Funny you should say that about Roberts. My thoughts exactly and actually was my worst pick of the day in the 6 or 7th round I cant remember. I am short on SB and I hit the panic button here I believe. This is the one regret I had so a very astute observation on your part. I felt really good however about my team until today with Buerhle report. I have to pray it is only 4 weeks and CT scan does not reveal any ligament damage. It is bad enough now.

Balticsquids · Post by **Balticsquids** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 1:56 pm

Head,sorry to say my Partner has are exact draft rd per rd , as we broke up dutys in the draft that part being his ....But off the top .hafner and wells i picked up in the 6-8 rd if i recall .I did take Gagne 2nd rd ,and Rivera 4th ..as we did not gameplan taking a starter until late in the draft as u can tell, but we did get beat out for pedro by the team ahead of us,causing us to then take rivera

Big Fish · Post by **Big Fish** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:03 pm

Squid.

I like your pitching a lot. You have the bases covered here. Gagne and Rivera alone with guarantee you 10pts in saves if not more, plus a nice combo of whip, k's and wins with your staff. Hawkins I still believe will close for Cubs if they dont pick up Dotel. However, if the A's contend, they will keep Dotel. If they dont, he will be moved in season to Cubbies and Huston Street will close for the rebuilding and youthful A's. In our case, since we both own Hawkins, we must hope for a good season for the A's.

bjoak · Post by **bjoak** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:18 pm

Big Fish: Since you know all of the A's plans, they might as well fire Billy Beane and hire you. In any event, they'll be fine.

Baltic: Did they skip your turn a few times during the top 5 picks?

Balticsquids · Post by **Balticsquids** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:20 pm

Post your team BJob.............easy to talk behing nothing ...o wait your the clown that was so ready for the draft and so on,,,lol..go ahead post it

Big Fish · Post by **Big Fish** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:40 pm

Hey Bloke.

Post your team. I need some amusement.

I especially like your pseudo intellectual quasi esoteric quotes. You are really deep man. Cool.

Big Fish · Post by **Big Fish** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 2:42 pm

Squid. I also have the less than exciting Craig Monroe on my bench for OF help as well.

Where is Bloak and his dynamo team. Come on Bloak, one more deep thought. How about, abscence makes the heart grow founder, or no, here is a real cool one, that which does not kill us make us stronger....or how about just a plain ole fashioned cliche. I know you have a few in you.

p-torres i see thompson and lopez having good years. not really a garcia fan in that ballpark. not a fan of lee or wakefield either. i actually passed on gagne. i think it was the fourth round. i took foulke instead. i did get brazoban in the late rounds. obviously i think gagne could be out for an extended period of time. not really a rivera fan either. getting old and losing some numbers. hey, what do i know.

Balticsquids · Post by **Balticsquids** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 4:00 pm

as u can tell im not a big fan of pitching at all,i only pick up wake because hes going to get alot of 13-0 Leads and wont get hurt , and it looks like im going to need wins help

Balticsquids · Post by **Balticsquids** » Mon Mar 21, 2005 4:22 pm

I love figgins myself , he went in about the 11th or 12th in my league if u could imagine ...i guess the cluster of talent on the Angels had scared guys off
