Final Season Team Tuneup: Which FAs? WHIR

Postby FantasySportsMaven » Thu Apr 02, 2009 10:05 am

16 Team Yahoo H2H Redraft League with expanded scoring.
Scoring: AB,R,H,2B,HR,RBI,SB,TB,BB,AVE,NSB,OFA,DPT and IP,W,SV,K,HLD,ERA,WHIP,QS

Current Roster:
C:McCann
1B: Texeira
2B: A. Hill
3B: Chris Davis
SS: E. Burriss
RF: Dunn
CF: Crisp
LF: K. Morales
OF: T. Snyder
UT: P. Fielder
UT: M. Reynolds
BN: Hermida(RF), Andrus(SS), LaPorta(1B,LF)

SP: Lester, Nolasco, Lowe, Maholm, Hanson, K. Davies, Cahill
RP: Wilson, Motte, Ray
DL: Hudson, Zumaya, R. Hill

Here are the best available FAs:
C: Y. Molina, R. Barajas (only if McCanns hand injury is severe)
SS: Bettancourt, Bartlett, B. Harris , A. Cabrera
3B: Fields, Inge, Harris, Miles
OF: Griffey, Rasmus, Schafer, Inge
SP: Snell, B. Anderson, Moyer, Lohse
RP: Arredondo, Saito, Franklin

I am tempted to drop one/some of my offensive bench guys for Schafer, Snell, Griffey, etc?

What final moves from these, if any, should I make before the season starts?

Really, the only move I could see here is for Schafer, but I don't really trust him all that much, and I don't know who you would drop (maybe Andrus, cause it's a redraft league, but do you really trust Burriss to do anything? And Hermida, to be, is more likely to be beneficial to you. I'm not a Kyle Davies fan, but that's just me.

Good luck, and thanks for your help on mine.
Thank you to soty for hooking me up with another awesome sig!

I would consider dropping Ray for Arredondo. I also would drop LaPorta for Schafer if you really want him.

Snell for Davies, and O-Cab for Burriss.

Thanks for the help!

K. Davies is already on my roster. Last info I have read: Hanson will start in the minors but start for Atl in mid April(12th?) to save Atl contract eligibilty; B. Anderson will start the year in the minors, and Burriss is the Giants starting 2B with SS eligibility.

If true, should I still do what you suggest?

I'd stick with what you've got for now. Maybe pick up Schafer and drop Andrus, but that seems like a pickup just for the sake of making a pickup. Definitely keep a close eye on guys like Schafer and Rasmus. Two pitchers to watch are Anderson and Lohse also. For now, I don't think you have anyone really worthy of a drop though.

Thanks for the help on mine!

I like Snell this year as well as Rasmus. Although I do not know if I would drop any of your current players for them.

Anderson is already in the starting rotation, but if you feel more comfortable with the NL pitcher Hanson in a H2H for the end of the season then go with it. O-Cab overall should have better numbers than Burriss or even Andrus at SS. I'm not sold on Davies, and Snell has nice K potential and should rebound a bit.

Since this is a redraft, I would definitely pick up O-Cab and drop either Burriss or Andrus. Having two young, unproven SS would make me a little nervous. I'd rather have one of those plus the steady Cabrera as a safety net.

Thanks for the help with mine!

Thanks to everyone for the help!!!

I didn't know that Brett Anderson would start the year in Oaks rotation but recently read that Cahill would due to the injury to Durchsherer.

So, based on all your help, I am thinking about dropping Burriss, Andrus and LaPorta and picking up OCab and two of these guys: Schafer, Anderson, Snell.

Which two should I pick up out of Schafer, Anderson and Snell?
