Gige56 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Barry Zito was dropped yesterday to waivers in my fantasy baseball laegue. Should I use my waiver spot (2) to grab him now or is he another ryan franklin or someone of that stature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Are you serious? Grab him ASAP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gige56 Posted April 10, 2007 Author Share Posted April 10, 2007 Okay what about this one. Should I drop Jermaine Dye or just wait him out. Im sure there are others doing fantasy baseball. Lets hear about your teams too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ro290190 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Im not sure zito is woth your number 2 claim some1 will get impatient with a player much better than zito soon. I would definelty hold onto dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Dye is good for 30+ HR if he's healthy. Don't ever drop him unless he gets hurt. All my fantasy teams are dominating in the pitching categories, but lacking in hitting because it's been so cold everywhere. Not to mention 3 or 4 hitters on one of my teams haven't played the last few days (CLE and SEA players). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sully04 Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Do not repeat the mistake of the idiot who dropped Zito, its only been what 8 games so far this year. It's a 162 game season, not fantasy footballs 17. Dye will produce, just give him time, its what you have a bench for after all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgbaseball Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Regarding your waiver claim status, is it a public league or a league with friends? Public leagues tend to have few active players, so using your #2 spot isn't a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 How active the league does play a huge part. But if it is a league with many active managers, I wouldn't spend the #2 prior on him. Pitching is easy to come by fantasy-wise because starting pitchers and closers change often, unlike position players. And fantasy wise, Zito isn't that good. I mean, yeah, he should and will be starting on a team. But I woudln't spend #2 prior on him in an active league. And as far as hitters go, wait atleast a month if the player has already proven himself in years past. It's only been a week. It's a long season. Only drop a hitter if you're a certain what you're getting in return surpasses what you are giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gige56 Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 Okay next, I have been proposed a trade. I give up Ichiro and get Scot Rolen straight up. Right now I have troy glaus at the hot corner but is eligible to play ss. But I have J.J. Hardy at ss. what you guys think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JP_Frost Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I would keep Ichiro -- Rolen might add some power to your lineup, but he probably isn't the same guy he was a couple of years ago while Ichiro will give you plenty of stolen bases and a high average.

redsox Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Not to mention Hardy is doing pretty good for the Brewers and is projected to put up some decent numbers. He can hit for some power (about 25 HR) and draw a lot of walks. One thing that surprises me is that Ichiro has only 1 SB all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Ichiro is also in a contract year, his numbers should get a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gige56 Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 Does anyone of you think Richie Sexson will come out of his slump soon. I want to grab him in free agency but not sure if he is worth the risk of getting rid of mike jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Does anyone of you think Richie Sexson will come out of his slump soon. I want to grab him in free agency but not sure if he is worth the risk of getting rid of mike jacobs Sexson tends to get hot after the All-Star Break every year...don't know how you wanna play that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Sexson's numbers have progressively gone down every year for the past several years. His #'s will increase from what they are now, yes, but he's not very good anymore. I doubt he'll hit over 30 HRs, he'll probably get over 100 RBIs, but his AVG is not good (He hasn't hit .265+ since 2003). The Mariner offense also takes a huge drop off after him, and I doubt he'll even get over 80 runs again. Meanwhile, Jacob's is entering his prime years (He's 26, and 26-27 is when player's power numbers normally greatly increase). Last year he only played on one leg most of the year, and the year before he had a combined 36 HRs combined with the minors and majors. It's unlikely he'll keep his .300+ AVG, probably will be in the .280-.290 range. He only had a career .288 minor league average, but his last two full minor league years he also batted .329 and .321 (Both AA). And the Marlins are very good offensively (current they are statisically the best in baseball), so 100+ runs and 100+ RBIs is not out of the question. The problem: He doesn't play everyday. Although Fredi Gonzalez continues to say that he's not in a platoon situation, Aaron Boone has started the past several games against LHP. I'd pick Jacobs over Sexson, but I'd also try and find another option aswell. If you stick with Jacobs, I'd suggest getting a back up 1B and plug him in when he doesn't play. This requires a lot more attention, but it's effective. I'd also suggest this player to be a big UTIL player so you can also plug him in other spots (like Ty Wigginton, Rich Aurilia, ect.)

Gige56 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Okay next, somebody just dropped Josh Hamilton and picked up Alex Gonzalez. Should I wait until he becomes a free agent, or use my #1 wavier pick for him. Also Sammy Sosa just became a free agent today, should I grab him as well. Here is my team as of right now: C John Buck (KC - C) 1B Mike Jacobs(Fla - 1B) 2B Aaron Hill (Tor - 2B,SS) 3B Troy Glaus (Tor - 3B,SS) SS Jhonny Peralta (Cle - SS) OF Vladimir Guerrero (LAA - OF) OF Vernon Wells (Tor - OF) OF Aaron Rowand (Phi - OF) Util Carlos Beltrán (NYM - OF) Util J.J.

ro290190 Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Rowand is the only guy who I would consider dropping for Hamilton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timp Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 I wouldn't waste your #1 waiver priority on Hamilton or Sosa. You're outfield looks pretty good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliesphan18 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Advice needed: Was I foolish to do this trade? Michael Young, Victor Martinez, Jeremy Hermida, and Chris Ray FOR Ichiro, and Derek Jeter MY ROSTER: C - Victor Martinez 1B - Ryan Howard 2B - Rickie Weeks SS - JJ Hardy 3B - Kevin Youkilis OF - Jermaine Dye OF - Gary Sheffield OF - Carlos Lee Util - Michael Young Util - Adrian Gonzalez BN - Jeremy Hermida BN - Garrett Atkins BN - Joe Mauer (DL) Pitchers SP Matt Cain James Shields Ervin Santana Tom Gorzelanny Scott Kazmir Tim Lincecum Ching-Ming Wang Aaron Harang RP Takashi Saito Chris Ray Jason Isringhausen Mariano Rivera DL Huston Street I feel like I might regret this trade if Mauer doesn't come off the DL soon. Is that feeling correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgutierrez32 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 ^He's coming off Friday...isn't he? Seems alright to me, and furthermore I think you should try to pick someone else up and drop Mariano Rivera. Anyway, here's my squad: the gyroballsack c - russell martin 1b - albert pujols 2b - brandon philips 3b - aramis ramirez ss - rafael furcal of - grady sizemore of - alex rios of - aaron rowand util - jeff francouer bench - bj upton, jj hardy sp - tim hudson, john maine, eric bedard, james shields, dan haren, randy wolf rp - takashi "GAME OVER" saito, francisco rodriguez, todd jones dl - roy halladay Some idiot in my league has both Matt Holliday and Alfonso Soriano on his bench, so I offered him Tim Hudson, John Maine, JJ Hardy, and Jeff Francouer for John Lackey, Matt Holliday, and Julio Lugo who will be promptly dropped if accepted.
