I wanted to try and pry away Teixeira while he was in his early April slump and the trade was accepted...Tell me this wasn't a steal of a deal!!!
I realize that Heyward is possible rookie of year candidate and Hudson will likely have a good bounce back year, but for a 10 team league I can pickup another solid starter easily (I picked up Ricky Romero). Also, keep in mind that my prior best starting 1B was Billy Butler.
So in my eyes I got a (usually early going struggling) top first few round 1B in Teixeria for two late round "possible" breakout years...I emphasize possible...
My team looks as follows
BATTERS
C Matt Wieters
1B Mark Teixeira & Billy Butler
2B Chase Utley & Rickie Weeks
3B Gordon Beckham
SS Troy Tulowitzki
OF Grady Sizemore, Ben Zobrist, Nelson Cruz, & Magglio Ordonez
PITCHERS
SP Cole Hamels, Phi SP
SP Clayton Kershaw, LAD SP
SP Ricky Romero, Tor SP
SP Brett Anderson, Oak SP
SP Justin Verlander, Det SP
SP Ricky Nolasco, Fla SP
SP Francisco Liriano, Min SP
RP Carlos Marmol, ChC RP
RP Kevin Gregg, Tor RP
What are your thoughts?
BTW- This is not a keeper leauge...
