Not Telling
Was hoping that some of you with more experience in fantasy BB could provide some advisement on my newly-minted team.
First, league setup:
Weekly H2H League
Batters Stat Categories: Runs ®, Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Batting Average (AVG)
Pitchers Stat Categories: Wins (W), Saves (SV), Strikeouts (K), Earned Run Average (ERA), (Walks + Hits)/ Innings Pitched (WHIP)
Lineups lock for the week on Monday
Second, my current lineup.
C Mike Napoli ©
1B Prince Fielder
2B Ian Kinsler
3B Brett Lawrie
SS Danny Espinosa (2B)
OF Adam Jones
OF Desmond Jennings
OF Alex Gordon
Util Paul Goldschmidt
BN Ike Davis
SP Justin Verlander
SP Adam Wainwright
SP Brandon Morrow
SP Jon Lester
RP Glen Perkins
RP Grant Balfour
RP Bobby Parnell
RP Jose Veras
So some initial problems I'm having:
1) Brett Lawrie is going to start the season on the DL. I don't currently have anyone on the roster that's 3B-eligible. I've been offered a deal of Youk/Rivera for Fielder/Perkins, but I'm of the opinion that he's trying to fleece me, and I'm tempted to counter with Davis/Balfour (though he won't accept). Opinions? Notable FA 3B-eligible (star denotes no ML team or DL):
Mike Moustakas
Todd Frazier
Jedd Gyorko*
Trevor Plouffe
Mark Reynolds
Lonnie Chisenhall
Juan Francisco
Matt Carpenter
Nolan Arenado
Alex Rodriguez*
Jordan Pacheco
Chris Johnson
Ryan Roberts
Jeff Keppinger
Donovan Solano
2) If I choose to tell this guy to go pound salt, who on my roster can I choose to drop for a 3B? Ike Davis is projected to be a 28HR/80 RBI guy, but he's 3rd or 4th in the 1B pecking order. I can't drop Napoli, as he's my only C. I tend to like Keppinger as a temp fill-in to boost my team AVG, and I'd love to take a stab at someone like a Moustakas or a Solano, but I feel like any drop would be a mistake. Plus, I would want to, ideally, pick up Frank Francisco to ensure that I have the Mets' closer all year (as there are NO closers on the wire).
I have 2 DL spots, but I need for the team to officially place Lawrie on the DL before I make that move.
3) General opinions on the team and spots I can improve?
Appreciate any advice that can be provided, and thanks for reading through.
