Originally posted by DOUGHBOYS: I disagree. He is not a very good baseball player and kills fantasy teams when he doesn't steal a lot of bases, BUT, the teams who draft a judy are dependent on that judy for a majority of stolen bases.

Just doing some research and stumbled upon Josh Collmenter. Anyone know if he is as good as the stats he's thrown up so far? Very intriguing Impressive stats- mostly in non pressure MR. See yours about fake whip

Picked off again today. I bet his owned % drops by at least 10%

worth 8th place in my 12 team league. In 2009 DP, that same whip was 14th best out of more than 500 teams.

Still 100% owned and 88% active. To drop or not to drop, that is the question.

i'm guessing his price will be somewhat subdued since he hasn't hit a hr yet, so i'm thinking $150 gets him. Last minute reverse chirp with lowball figure. Maybe Gekko does like him

Here is another two



Player A



27 years old, 1st round draft pick- career numbers 1500 abs, 46 hrs, 249 avg/ 29 sb- 100% owned



Player B



27 years old, 1st round pick 1900 abs, 63 Hrs, 259 avg/ 21 sb

Good piece by Zola on target drafting. I like to draft alphabetically. Makes it easy to know who to take. 1- A lex Rodriguez 2- Jose B autista 3- C liff Lee 4- D an Uggla etc... If I was strict and only went by last names, my first pick would have to be Elvis Andrus. So I am open to some flexibility...

Originally posted by mattjb: I got Motte for $6 this week - yes please. Dont go so fast - that was my commentary at the end :D . Its more likely that the $200 Boggs bid get it or he goes back to Franklin after a resting period. I say give Sanchez the ball!! I own him ;) Alas TLR will never go with a...

from Twitter Joe Strauss (beat writer STL Today) For the first time since closer issue arose, TLR today didn't deny possible change. Chose instead not to answer directly. Clubhouse read is that for whatever reason Franky has lost movement on cutter, sinker. RH bats mauling him. More in P-D later ton...

At 18, Keith Richards was 'on pace' to try every drug known to man.....

Actually out pacing the 'on pace', he is now waiting on the drug manufacturers....

I agree- Doughboy is the best read on these boards. I loved this post- very creative. Too bad I own Cruz ( first time)



Ps: Love cc's stuff too.
