theres no way he is gonna be near the total last yr but 18 maybe 20 isnt unreasonable. he is def a solid palyer but would u rather have more runs scored,homers,rbis from uggla? durham will only have better hits and avg. .
as i said my league has 15 cats...and i have already many players with power

Couldn't agree more. It's basically one guy that made a stupid statement, then got ripped for it. Rather than admit he might be wrong, he's trying to defend it, which makes him look even worse.
I come to the cafe for advice. If basically everyone on this board disagrees with me, I use that to help adjust my ideas and projections. I wouldn't bother posting a comment if I had no intention of listening to feedback from it. Otherwise, what's the point? To make yourself look smart?
Tell me, what are your 15 batting categories? You could punch a hole in any player, assuming you didn't just make that up...

saying that Uggla avg is falling is a stupid statement ?
ROTFL

so basically if i think i'm right i must change my position because everyone else disagree ?
All I can say is that in my H2H points league Uggla is the 2nd best scoring 2nd baseman. 2 points ahead of Roberts and 16 ahead of Phillips. Utley has 362 points and Uggla has 326. He is also 16th overall among all hitters, Arod has 417 points, only 55 points ahead of Uggla. Again alot has to do with your league settings, in my league if someone would drop Uggla I would pick him up and definately play him in my U spot. Again just depends on your league settings.

I like the way you tried to change "Uggla is sinking" to "Uggla's avg is falling" without anyone noticing. The point is, you called him a joke, but his overall production is anything but when compared to other 2B.

lol
No, you don't have to, but if everyone else disagrees with you, wouldn't you at least consider the possibility that you may be wrong rather than bashing other people, then using your cute little LOL's and ROTFL's. What are you, 14?
You still haven't answered my questions. What's the point of bashing Uggla if you're not going to listen to anyone else's point of view?
By the way, I'm still waiting for your 15 batting cats. I know it's tough to make them up on such short notice, but you have had over 4 hours...

Yes, it has become that. In conclusion, Uggls is no worse than the 4th best 2B.
im jus waiting for this moron to create the "hey arod is SINKING!" thread cause hes not batting .370 anymore on pace for 200 HRs or 500 RBIs
i dont know what ridiculous presesason predicition you had for Uggla, but he has surpassed what i thinking. The only thing significant stat that has "sinked" is his avg, just because Uggla isnt helping in all 15 cats in your beast of league doesnt mean hes not a great fantasy 2b. hell i dont think theres 1 players in the entire league that could help you out in ALL 15 cats. 1 guy wont walk enough, 1 guy strikes out too much, 1 guy doesnt steal, 1 guy doesnt hit for power, 1 guy wont score as much.
you knew EXACTLY what you you were gonna get from Uggla when you drafted him. A power hitting 2b that wont hit for a very high avg. 250 is managable. Ryan Howard is hitting .254 are you gonna start another thread to bash him as well??
