I didn't try to lump a bunch of yankees on my team but it happened. I have soriano, jeter, and b. williams. I'm not playing b. williams right now but it seems like he is getting out of the slump and I would like to have him back in the line up.

I try to aviod 3 guys from the same team, but if they are the right guys, then I don't worry about it. I've got Posada/Giambi/Soriano on one of my teams this year. Doesn't bother me.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
I don't mind having several hitters from the same team...asa long as they are quality players....In H2H leagues, you have to manage your line up a little more...to avoid unfavorable match ups...
I don't like having alot of SP's from the same team though...unless its Zito, Mulder and Hudson....

England's Worcester Canoe Club set the world record for paddling a hand-propelled bathtub. The 25 man team covered a distance of 55 miles, 425 yards in 24 hours on September 28 and 29, 1979.
I don't think its a huge problem if they are decent players, but it will leave you prone to slumps at times. In my league, I have Nomo, Brown and O.Perez all on one team (which makes me even more irritated with the Dodger offense), plus Lo Duca. On the same team, I have Manny, Nomar and Lowe as well as Mussina and Wells, it's no big deal.

A case could be made on having Huff/Baldelli. I guess that just leaves the Tigers.

A guy in our H2H league had Delgado, V. Wells and S. Stewart. He made the 1st-half playoffs as a wildcard (highest points after the first 5 teams) but he lost to the 2nd seed team.
With the trade of Stewart going to the Twins, he's still looking good. So I guess, yea, you can have 3 guys from the same team as long as they're producing.
Well.. the first place team in our league has Soriano, Giambi, Nick Johnson, AND Bernie Williams...and to top that off....his shortstop is Garciaparra!
Good Grief....we never had a chance.....
