Man my team sucks. It just goes to show that if your star players are hurt, your team blows. I just wish these guys would get healthy. I think it is too late though.... my team is out of contention. Who do I send my cigars to?

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

Dump the hurt players and get some others. Or put them all on the bench until healthy. Make sure you have enough players to put up some numbers everyday, though.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

They are on the DL, so they aren't taking up spots. There just aren't any good free agents. We have too many teams in the league to pick up anyone worthwhile.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

You have 5 DL slots to place your players- and after that you can add a player to replace same. Yes- we have a lot of teams so good players are hard to find. So, you can keep your DLed players and they don't take up a roster spot. When the are activated, you will have to get rid of a player to reinstate them.

This year, it was decided that the entry fee would simply be a fiver for the troops- we'd play for fun and for the troops. So, anyone can send me or Richard a fiver for the troops at anytime as their entry.

Dan- it's not even May yet, brother!

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

We only have 3 DL spots ;) :bh

I will bring the entry fee to the HERF in June :tu

I know it is only May, but holy heck I am behind :r I just picked up some players so hopefully I may win a game or two.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

There are plenty of good players out there, Dan. You just have to do your research. All the big names have been taken, but plenty of young and fresh talent out there.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

Can't load up your team with Reds players and expect to dominate in fantasy baseball. :td

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

There's tons of talent still. It's a bit puked over from last week, but theres still lots of opportunity.
It seems like there's a lot more power available tan years past. I always pick players for power first, speed second. There's lots of kids in the free agents who are gonna hit the ball hard and move into the top of the order as soon as an old guy gets hit in the wrist with a pitch.
That's a really fun part of the game tat the 52 max moves takes out. Dealing within the boundaries of the league rules makes it more challenging, too.
There's a strategy for every category.
See of Marlon Byrd is still available, Dan. He's a good power addition to your outfield, and you're thin.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

No dice. Someone else has him.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

I did pick up some other guys. I dropped Drew Stubbs and some other crackhead.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

That's why you're last. You have Drew Stubbs, and I bet some other Reds players. Show no loyalty to the Reds in your fantasy league, unless you have Rolen and Votto (like me). And don't forget, Chapman isn't a big leaguer just yet, so he's not bringing any points for you yet.:D

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

Stubbs was the only Red that I had

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

Don't let them smack talk the Big Red Machine, Dan!

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

Cigargal you are cool in my book :tu

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

It's ok, I'm allowed to talk smack. I'm a Reds fan too.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

This is the only Big Red Machine I'm aware of:

Everything else is but a little red wagon.(Except for 1990.)

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

Congrats to St. Lou Stu for winning the league! Bravo, Tim!

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

Thanks Hugh!
I also just read back through the prize/contribution part of this thread.... I cannot recall if I sent yourself or Richard anything for this or recently for that matter.
My prize will be out shortly.

Re: Yahoo Baseball 2010
 

Hugh, did I already give you sticks? If not, let me know and I will bring them to the HERF on the 23rd :tu
