MLB 2007 Season

[Hyun]

ronnifan is sooo cheesy

i can't believe grady sizemore was taken in the 3rd round, AFTER vernon wells, travis hafner and tejada. sizemore can do all; the guys i taken before him are mostly good at one thing and two if lucky.

here's his number to make you guys cringe; i'm glad i didn't take fatass buckman over him. and remember the indians are actually behind in games played.

.364 4HR 5RBI 3SB 6BB

Hey, don't blame me, I took Crawford and A-Rod ahead of him and took Sizemore in the second round in my other league. I also remember getting pissed that Sizemore went right before my 3rd round pick in this draft, I'm a HUGE fan.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

A-Rod is having a legendary April. 3 HRs in his next 9 games gives him the most HRs ever in April.

And I'm willing to entertain trades for him.

He's pretty much bitchslapping all the Yankee fans who doubted him in the face. He has to do it in October though or it means nothing. This performance against the Sox though won't hurt.

Let me be the first to say that he's probably on the juice, and that baseball is covering it up. I'm sorry, but in this day and age, whenever someone performs like he has over the last couple of weeks, I have doubts over whether or not it was done with the aid of some illegal helpers.

Did I also mention that I hate Gayrod?

 

[Chacarita Juniors]

I think I'm gonna give some airplay to my new and improved sig...We're woopin shiznit out of the Rockies right now.

I think some of the people from this thread might have heard about this sick new duo, they're also known as the Giles brothers.

Is that a joke? The man is a natural hitter. He hit .358 his rookie year. In his 11 full seasons in the majors, he has only hit fewer than 35 Homers in one season, ditto for 100 RBIs, he has never scored fewer than 100 runs, fewer than 15 steals only once, and had a 1.000+ OPS five times. A-Rod is incredible.

Unfortunately, no it isn't a joke. Like I said, these days, with the steroid witch hunt ongoing, I'm assuming that if someone is putting up insane numbers, they have to be on the juice unless otherwise proven. So therefore, I've put Rodríguez in the same performance enhancer-filled boat with Sosa and Bonds, at least for the time being.

It's funny how on ESPN asked about Alex, Charless Barkley said hehopes A-Rod wins the MVP, the World Series and tells NY to go to hell.


Interesting coming from a guy who never won a championship and kept telling his team to go to hell.

Milwaukee Brewers, starting to open up a lead in the NL Central. And I'm really mad Hyun picked up JJ Hardy before I could. I was driving around last night and listening to the game on the radio and after that second HR I was like "ok, I GOTTA pick him up in fantasy", but Hyun did before I had the chance. BOOO.

 

[rony31]

and thanks to the douche who dropped Weeks

the Blue Jays are sliding, riddled with injuries and our hitting's gone cold lately... Rios, Wells and Thomas really need to step up

 

[ShiftyPowers]

In the other fantasy league I'm in, some retard dropped Jason Bay. Needless to say, everyone else put in a waiver request, and I didn't get him. And yeah, who dropped Rickie Weeks!? Who's The Jays?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Is anyone watching the Yanks-Sox game!?!?!?!? Back to Back to Back to Back Home Runs for the Red Sox! 4 in a row!

 

[Hyun]

i will miss francoeur's home runs but now i finally have a dependable shortstop. and my pickup had nothing to do with that two homer game; i just picked him reluctantly because i needed to fill a position.
by the way offer me some speedy players, i could really use the stolen bases.

1. (5) Chase Utley 2B
2. (12) David Wright 3B
3. (21) Grady Sizemore OF
4. (28) Jason Bay OF
5. (37) Brian McCann C

my last five picks were pretty bad (along with glaus argh), but still managed to salvage some closers. and the two hottest pitchers in baseball right now, 60th and 117th(!) picks. is anyone iffy about sexson's style like i am? i know ill get the homers, but i just don't like his approach (inconsistent walks with crazy ks). kinda reminds me of hank blalock. (:/)

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah I had to bench Sexson in my other league on a team with no home runs. He's just too much of a liability in other categories.

I'm not too high on Steven Drew at all. I don't think he'll be dependable this season. Frankly, I think you can expect more from JJ Hardy this year, although he should tail off as well. I'd expect about a .275 and 20ish HRs this year, but I don't think Drew will give you that.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Alright let's check mine out.

1. (8) Carl Crawford OF
2. (9) Álex Rodríguez 3B
3. (24) Derrek Lee 1B
4. (25) Chone Figgins 2B,3B,OF
5. (40) Jermaine Dye OF
6. (41) Carlos Zambrano SP
7. (56) Paul Konerko 1B
8. (57) Daisuke Matsuzaka SP
9. (72) Bill Hall 3B,SS,OF
10. (73) Dontrelle Willis SP
11. (88) Jim Thome Util
12. (89) Francisco Cordero RP
13. (104) Prince Fielder 1B
14. (105) Ryan Freel 2B,3B,OF
15. (120) Brad Lidge RP
16. (121) Delmon Young OF
17. (136) Kenji Johjima C
18. (137) Frank Thomas Util
19. (152) Todd Jones RP
20. (153) Lyle Overbay 1B
21. (168) Barry Bonds OF
22. (169) Josh Beckett SP
23. (184) Mike Mussina SP
24. (185) Michael Barrett C
25. (200) Kevin Millwood SP
26. (201) Moisés Alou OF
27. (216) Brandon Inge 3B

So far, so good. Alou, Barrett, Bonds, and Beckett are all kicking some serious ass for me. Paul Konerko and Brad Lidge were awful picks.

 

[Hyun]

hah, the chone figgins thing was hilarious, i knew someone was going to draft him even though he broke his thing. matsuzaka has been giving you those Ks, and im kinda bummed about passing arod, ALTHOUGH ive been a bit iffy (finding flaws in perfection.. i know) about that bb/k ratio. thome was a good pick, and bonds was another good one. i wouldn't have drafted: dye (inconsistent), crawford (first round meh but then you were last), delmon (francoeur's actually walking a bit but young.. not so much), inge (last pick man! reserved for a prospect-in-minor!) and obviously lidge. personally, i only trust in one closer worthy of being drafted, and that's joe nathan.

and just look at stephen drew's bb/k ratio. he's doing all the right things, and that's certain to bring some success.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Yeah, I was definitely wary of Dye, but I would have really kicked myself if I passed up on anything even close to his 2006 season. I don't really care about inconsistency as long as it all looks good in the end.

 

[Deisler]

Shifty quit trying, Cabrera is not going nowhere, and howard is a no no especially after the slow start. I gotta get something out my my # 2 pick.

And c'mon man can you be more selfish?

A-rod and Overbay for Howard, Cabrera and Zumaya?
Keep dreaming

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I don't see what's so terrible about that trade. Zumaya isn't a closer.
