well yeah it's way too early to say that your current position is a lock... but how are you doing?
i've got three leagues, all standard 5x5 yahoo roto.
- priv8 league w/friends (as of yesterday, 11/12)
this team has decent offensive #s (.272/12/45) but the other teams are doing good, plus my era and whip are high (3.86/1.30 or something) so it's killed me. this team has a good offense which, going into the year, i thought would be far better than my other two publeague autodraft teams, which are similar to each other)
rostah:
c- posada
1b - frank thomas
2b - jose vidro (i rue the day i picked him over mgiles)
ss - renteria
3b - texeira
OF - sosa
OF - carlos lee
OF - alex sanchez
util - pat burrell
bench - morgan ensberg, edgar martinez
SP - prior (ack!), oswalt, zambrano, pavano, garland, redding
RP - rivera, kolb, julio, chacon
publeague #1 - 1/12
this team, quite frankily, has been far better than i excpected and is awesome. i dont want to brag, so i wont, but i am really blown away by how good of a start its off to. i mean, right now i'm straight 12s across the board on offense, which surprises me... my steals are basically all podsednik and giles, throw in a fluke konerko steal... but as of today, i nearly crapped myself, DAVE ROBERTS WAS ON THE FREE AGENT LIST... i mean yeah he isnt much of a hitter, but hes a great base swiper)
c - posada
1b - konerko
2b - mgiles
ss - jose valentin
3b - burroughs (i rode crede up until today, but with the impressive power/RBI #s i'm going for burrough's average, runs scored, and SB potenital)
OF - vlad
OF - sammy
OF - barry
util - podsednik (i-pod)
bench - ensberg
bench - DAVE ROBERTS (he's capitalized cuz like, man, i got him and his 7 steals off of waivers today, thats so not right)
SP - beckett, oswalt, santana, zambrano, pavano, garland
RP - rivera, kolb, graves, leskanic
publeague team #2 - 1/12
this team has a lesser offense than the other publeague team, but like, its got enough offense and pitching to stay atop. i'll really be in good shape if/when my starters start winning games in masses.
c - posada
1b - konerko
2b - mgiles
ss - khalil greene
3b - eric chavez
OF - vlad
OF - sammy
OF - dave roberts
util - jermaine dye (who was on the FA list 3 days ago, is that not ridiculous?)
bench - ensberg
bench - burrell
SP - beckett, santana, zambrano, garland, pavano
RP - rivera, isringhausen, mantei, julio
i think my publeague teams are going to be warriors down the stretch. publeague team #1 has been blessed from the getgo, team #2 is scrappier.
so there you have it. how are y'all doing?
