Teams 4 & 5 I feel will give me a good run for my $$. Not really worried about the other 3.

 

[IvyinBarondise]

team 5 is sick

 

[Mo]

Yea and he is pretty sharp too. He has won it 2x in the last 4 years. 1 year was 2 points away from making championship game

 

[orangemonk]

why would team 5 play mauer at 1B? loses a lot of value there.

 

[Mo]

Not sure. But he usually makes good decisions

 

[IvyinBarondise]

he's got morneau to substitute in on off days...1b batting avg. gets a nice little bonus there...mccan gives solid power from a catchers position in new york and his 2,3rd base are obviously sick...hes got an incredible strength offensively from a position scarcity standpoint

 

[Mo]

He manages well. He is 1 of the reasons I play. To beat him. He was very quick to point out that I should have drafted Miggy. I disagree. He wins a lot. And he loves to rub it in. I'm going to beat him.

 

[IvyinBarondise]

last few seasons, I have always drafted miggy first...this season where i'd probably even consider not taking him @ #1...but idk...I think i'd still do it...only playing three leagues this year and have had the 6,7 picks so far...we'll see i guess

Good luck bro. You seem to gave a stronger grasp on it I do. Lemme know how your team ends up.

 

[IvyinBarondise]

nah man...i used to be really into fantasy bases last season...i haven't done any legit research this off season...stopped listening to the radio for an hour on the way to work every morning (xm fantasy radio)...i didn't even know about the kinsler trade till one of the CTG drafts...but gl to you too

Mauer plays 1B now but has C eligibility... No off days

 

[Mo]

If a player plays minimum10 games at a certain position. In our league,he is eligible to play there the following season.

 

[orangemonk]

huh? Mauer is C eligible... playing him at 1B is a waste. his value comes from playing him at catcher even though he's going to be playing 155+ games at first when other catchers are playing 120-130 games a year and sitting 1-2 times a week.

Mauer is a first tier C, he's probably a 3rd or 4th tier 1B.
