Someone likes Victor Martinez. Overall some good lineups. I'd also consider Jason Schmidt as a possible FA target. He's impressed Torre and if he can get back to form, he'd be a real steal.

I like them. Might be a little worried about BA but will still do well. Unlike you I am not a fan of Victor Martinez but we will see shortly

Ya I am definitely a huge fan or Victor Martinez and Joe Mauer. Everytime I have one of them I seem to have a top two finish in that league. I would guess its because I tend to draft based on position scarcity (Utley 1-5), Longoria (2-17), Tulowiztki (5-55), Martinez (6-66).....
Schmidt is someone I am watching. His velocity has declined since his surgery which concerns me. Hes always been a fairly high whip/high k guy and I dont know that those K's will be there now so you may just be getting a guy with some wins and a mediocre era...aka Pedro on the Mets. :lol:
BA and steals worry me a little on the 2nd team... -
Schmidt's honed his mechanics in preseason and camp to mitigate velocity slumps. Clocked 91 in 2 short innings though against live batters and is supposedly healthier than ever. Speaking of Pedro. I wouldn't mind if he came back to the Dodgers. Could platoon him and Schmidt at the 5th starters spot.
Anyone notable in FA? I'm sure you can drop one or two on the bench for someone who's a steals threat. -
Lopez would help with steals. Escobar I might hold onto. When healthy, he can give you 15HR's and 75 RBI with a decent .300 BA.

FA pool is extremely shallow after 432 players were drafted last night. In the past depth is always made me successful in this league and format so I think I did ok there. Guys like Gomez and Castillo hold some value because of their steals and triples...
Just curious what you guys think. Anything standout that needs an upgrade? If anything I might say RF but I really think Spilborghs will do well battling leadoff for Colorado. -
Added my 5th and final one, an auction league ($260 cap).
I had 5 keepers from last year totaling $31 so I had 229 to spend today and I think I did well.

Cliff Lee (kept him for $6)

Won.
Great early season FA pick ups put me over the top: Lind, Uballin Jimenez, Gavin Floyd (after the starts for him and Jimenez), and Edwin jackson. Won the regular season by 10+ games. Neither playoff round was close. :up:
3rd. Top two teams were loaded. I won rd 1 as the 5 seed (beat the 4). Lost round two to the eventual champ. Beat the 1st place team in the consolation round
7th. Just missed the playoffs. Suffered some bad injuries but made some great trades to save my season. One more year and I might have squeaked in to the playoffs. Came back from 36 games back after week 11 to just miss the playoffs. Not great but i was ripping up the playoff teams down the stretch.
Winner 1st place, lost in the playoffs to a fluke week. The team I lost too got killed in the finals. Of course finals week I would have beat either team. Aggrevating after Beckham and Tulo were assed out of the semifinal round putting me at a serious disadvantage vs a very good hitting team when I needed all my guns blazing.
