I'd get Reyes and Ortiz in over Drew and Loney.

[Chucky]

First off, Can anyone give me an update on Reyes?

Secondly, I am going to reask my question to try and get more responses.

I am currently starting a roto 5x5 keeper league. I ended up with the sixth pick.

What would your BB look like? (up to 18 pleazzze)

Thyroid levels have regulated. He was back to doing stuff today. I'd be pretty surprised if he isn't playing Opening Day barring a major setback. And if he misses, maybe a week before he's ready.

Once Reyes is healthy, he is my guy. You probably know more about the situation with him than I do, what's the 411?

[jriles0522]

10 team, 5x5, I picked 9th

C- Miguel Montero
1B- Fielder
2B- Kinsler
SS- Rollins
3B- Beckham
OF- Adam Lind
OF- Carl Crawford
OF- Nelson Cruz
Util- Nick Markakis

Bench- Julio Borbon
Bench- Carlos Quentin

SP- Lester
SP- Kershaw
SP- Porcello
SP- Slowey
RP- Soriano
RP- Jenks
RP- Chris Perez
RP- Ryan Madson

I know I am OF heavy, but it was ridiculous where I drafted Markakis and Borbon at, I'm hoping to hold on and flip one of them for some pitching after the first few weeks shake out.

Other thoughts?

every team in a 10 team league is good so...

Thanks for your help and keen insight.

it wasn't a direct insult to you but the 2 post above yours, but yours make it 3 so it's alright

as for your team you have a heavy hitting OF team but you should trade one of your OF for a closer if you can, you have 2 set-up men also do holds count?

[themaninblack]

Got offered this trade:

Send Mark Texeira
Send Yovani Gallardo
Receive Garrett Jones
Receive Josh Beckett

First thought was hell no.

[fenikz]

confirm that hell no

[thebow305]

Hey guys, I need your opinions on this one. I got Josh Johnson and Adam Wainright on my team as my two studs. My other starters are pretty iffy. They are Randy Wolf, Ted Lilly, Carl Pavano and Joel Piniero.

I was thinking of dropping one of them and picking up either Chris Volstad, Rich Harden or Brandon Morrow.

Now which one should I drop, if any, and which should I pick up!? I am leaning towards dropping either Piniero or Pavano and picking up Morrow, who's last couple starts have been very good and he's like top 5 in K's right now. It's a H2H league and the categories are Wins (W), Losses (L), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP), Strikeouts per Walk Ratio (K/BB)

Thanks for the help!

[thebow305]

Would you guys start Ted Lilly tonight against the Marlins in Chicago?

[tjsunstein]

Would you drop Chipper Jones for Michael Stanton and wait for him to get called up?

[bsaza2358]

Stanton is probably at least 3 weeks from being brought up. My thoughts in terms of roster moves is that the Marlins will move Uggla for more prospects, then will slide Coughlin to 2B, with Stanton then playing RF or LF. There is no guarantee that the kid will be an instant sensation, but he has amazing skills.

I actually prefer Logan Morrison to Stanton as a player, but they're really more 1a and 1b in terms of prospects. Chipper is doing dick this year, so you're not missing anything. If it's a dynasty/deep keeper league, that would be a total no-brainer.

[Rob S]

Just cashed in on Ethier's red hot start.........traded him straight up for Chase Utley. I think thats some good value.

[bsaza2358]

The guy who made that trade should be shot.
