So I'm currently in my first ever fantasy baseball season sitting in second place at 8-2. My buddy who got me in the league is actually in 1st, at 9-1, and I know I'm going to have to do something if I'm going to beat him. Especially because the prize pool is winner takes all. So, here's my team: (when healthy)
C: joe mauer
1st: allen craig
2nd: dan uggla
3rd: adrian beltre
SS: troy tulowitzki
OF: mark trumbo
OF: carlos gonzalez
OF: matt kemp
OF: shane victorino/Desmond Jennings (victorino for now, hoping desmond will explode)
bench: whoevers not starting between victorino/jennings, marc scutaro
Pitching:
SP: jared weaver
SP: RA Dickey
SP: Stephen Starsburg
SP: Chris Capuano
SP: Colby Lewis
SP: Edwin Jackson
SP: Hiroki Kuroda
RP: Kenley Jansen
RP: Fernando Rodney
RP: Tyler Clippard
RP: Jonathon Broxton
RP: Matt Capps
RP: Darren O'Day
Any suggestions, + how would you rate it? Btw, I'm currently starting Marc Scutaro at SS since tulo is injured, and jennings + victorino in the outfield, since kemp/tulo will be back soon enough.
I have two pending trade offers for Cargo. One is Mike trout + Josh Johnson for Cargo, which I declined. The other is David Ortiz + Justin Upton for Cargo + Victorino. Would you guys recommend taking the second one? I'm debating it. If I took the second tarde, my outfield would be Kemp/Upton/Ortiz/Trumbo
I'm just not confident that Upton will pick up, what do you think?
All advice is appreciated, thanks!
