you've got a better team. esp pitching. kick his a$$!

[sigriffey]

You definitely have the edge in pitching, and I would add the outfield as well. Nice job!

I think you need to find a new husband...

*That was sarcasm if anyone missed it*

Nice team

LOL. he's more of a formula one racing guy. he likes football too. but in all sports (except car racing), i can run circles around him!

Thanks for the reply

And two great teams here, though your pitching looks better than his, and I have taken a fancy to Wainwright for some reason this season. Although his infield looks a little stronger..

Can't wait for you two to play each other

Thanks for the help. If I were you I would drop Lopez, I don't know when you would start him over Kinsler, Ramierez, and Tulo. You have flexibilty from Ramierez since he's eligible at 2b, ss,of (depending one what site). I don't see you using Lopez much. Being an 8 team league I think you can find more power/production from your "IF" slot. Just a thought.

good idea. i've been thinking the same thing, b/c jj hardy is available. that's right... i know. no one drafted him and no one has picked him up. i was hanging on to felipe b/c he's so versatile at several positions. (if kinsler gets hurt for instance.)

thanks again.

Thanks for the help one mine.

You have a very good staff and should easily be the best in the league. You have a pretty productive offense too. You easily have the best team.

That being said your hubby's team is about 1/2 as good as yours.

Did you make everyone else in the league wait until the 3rd round to start drafting?

Only kidding, but you did get 9 of the top 50 players. Is this everyone's first year playing in your league. You have to have the best team in your league.

good luck, but don't think you will need it.
