Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

Hello All... Question..



Hello everyone I am new to Purple Row but have heard of it from Denver Stiffs where I post all the time. 

Star-divide

Anyways I don't know if any of you are fantasy baseball fans or if I'm even allowed to talk about fantasy baseball here but seeing as my team features 4 Rockies, I thought it would be appropriate.  I just want feedback on my team please,  it is a 10 team league with $100 buy in and $1 transactions so it ends up being a lot of money.  There is no defense scoring, so it is just hitting which every base is 1 point, homeruns end up being about 6 points, stolen bases are 1, strike outs are -1 and walks are 1. 

Pitching is innings pitched is .5 points, a win is 10 points, a loss is -5 points, a save is 5 points, a strike out is 1 point and a walk is -1 point.  I picked 9th and my team is as followed.  Let me know what ya'll think please.  I took 3rd last year and 2nd the year before.  Last year my team featured Miggy Cabrera, Hanley Ramirez and Tim Lincecum to name a few.  Here is this years team:

1b: Ryan Howard, Freddie Freeman

2b: Aaron Hill (tor), Reid Brignac (tb)

3b: Pedro Alvarez (pit 4 hole hitter), Pablo Sandival

ss: Tulo, Brignac

C: Matt Weiters (Bal), Montero (AZ)

OF: Cargo, Travis Snider (Tor)

OF: Heyward (Atl)

OF: Stanton (FL 4 hole hitter potential HR champ)

SP: Chris Carpenter (Stl)

SP: Matt Cain (SF)

SP: Yovani Gallardo (Mil)

SP: Chacin

SP: Brendan Morrow (Tor)

SP: De La Roas

SP: Matt Garza (Chc)

RP: Jose Valverde (Det)

RP: Leo Nunez (Fl)

RP: Matt Thornton (Cws)

Any feed back would be appreciated.. I got Cargo 9th overall and Tulo 12th.  Both were projected 1st rounders but pitching went high in the firts (Halladay and Felix Hernandez) so I was able to grab both.  I am very happy with this team.  I have 6 potential 30+ hr 90+ RBI guys in Howard, Cargo, Tulo, Heyward, Stanton and Alvarez plus 3 15+ winning pitchers in Carpenter, Gallardo (Brewers Ace), and Cain (great postseason) with the possibility of Chacin and De La Rosa having huge years.  I went young and under the radar with this draft.  I hope it pans out.  Any feedback would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the Row

I think you have a solid team (although I don’t know know what the competition looks like) You picked four very good Rockies to get so I’ll give you my opinions on them.

1) Tulo: I’m very biased when it comes to Tulo; I love everything he does so you’re gonna have to keep that in mind here. Anyway, I like this pick the most because of position scarcity at SS. After Tulo and Hanley Ramirez, there’s just no other elite SS out there so you have a HUGE advantage here. I also think Tulo is going to give you even better production than he’s shown in year’s past. I wrote about it a couple of months ago here. Bottom line; I LOVE this pick.

2) Cargo: Huge potential here. Basically it comes down to how much you believe lst year was the real Cargo. His numbers look awesome but you have to be a little wary here because he’s only done it once. I’d bet that you’re gonna get something close to what you saw from Cargo last year but I don’t think it’s 100% lockdown. Bryan Kilpatrick wrote about Cargo here.

3) De La Rosa: Tough one here. He’s got really great stuff but hasn’t put it together for a full year yet. I still think his best season is ahead of him but I don’t know if it will be this year. Andrew Fisher wrote about JDLR here.

4) Chacin: Excellent sleeper pick. Chacin is one of the best pitchers in baseball that nobody really knows about and it seems like he’s a great season waiting to happen. He hasn’t done it yet though so I warn you that I’m predicting a breakout season and that’s always a little dangerous. I think the evidence is there though. I wrote about it here.

Nice thanks for your input

and great reads all around. The other teams aren’t bad… there are a lot of teams that just look terrible off the bat and then a few solid pitching teams and a few solid hitting teams. I built my team around pitching wins and HR hitters whereas last year i built it around average and dominanting pitchers (Lincecum, Josh Johnson Matt Latos, etc).

I agree on Tulo and he single handedly carried a lot of fantasy teams through the playoffs last year. Cargo ended as the number one fantasy producer in baseball among outfielders last year and I think was even pretty close with Pujols and Miggy Cabrerra for most points overall.

Basically the only teams that scare me is a team that has Roy Halladay and John Lester on it as well as a team with Lincecum and Felix Hernandez. The only other one that scares me is thge defending champion team who managed to get Car Crawford and David Wright so we shall see. Thanks again for the feedback.

That Lincecum/Hernandez two headed monster sounds pretty fierce

What’s funny about your picks is that when I drafted my team I took some of the same Rockie players you did. I ended up with Tulo, Chacin, and Betancourt. (Other forces of evil snatched up Ubaldo and Cargo before I had a chance to get to them.)

You make me feel like a bad Rockie fan though now that you, as a Red Sox fan took more Rockies than I did. ;-)

hahaha

My favorite team doesn’t come into play in regards to fantasy it’s all about winning the money howeber I was ready to take Adrian Gonzalez 12th but he went 11th. Now that I think about it i like Tulo more anyways.

haha no

I took Carlos Gonzalez 9th overall cuz I knew the guy picking 10 would take him 10 or 11 and I really wanted Cargo even more so than A-Gon. SInce A-Gon was taken 11th I took Tulo 12th. Miggy Cabrera and A-Gon went 10 and 11

Oh wow

Then you got a huge steal then. 1B is so deep that you really can’t go wrong there. Even if you get the 10th best first baseman, the gap between him and Pujols is still going to be way smaller than the gap between the 10th best SS and Tulo/Hanley. When I did my draft I took whatever 1B was left over. I always go for SS or catcher first because that’s where I think you can get the biggest advantage over your competition. You have that with Tulo.

by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Mar 22, 2011 11:42 AM MDT up reply actions  

Exactly

Same with 3b… I got Alvarez and Pablo in the 12th and 13th rounds because the big run on 3b went early when really the only 3b that will really dominate will be ARod and maybe Beltre but still Alvarez will put up number similar if not better than those two (at least power wise not average). I am happy with Tulo as my SS. I went into the draft wanting 3 guys Cargo, Heyward, and Stanton. I honestly think Cargo will challenge tripple crown again, Stanton will lead teh league in HR’s and Heyward will have an MVP like season. Just my gut feeling. The fact that I got Tulo and Howard to go along with my gut feelings makes my gut feeling feel a lot better. Plus I’ma Rox fan wehn they aren’t playin the Sox and watch a lot of Rox games so I knew exactly what I was getting with these guys. I just hope Tulo can have a great whole year not just second half and then cargo can just continue hitting the ball harder than anyone in the league.

Hope so man

Hope so. I think Tulo and Cargo batting next to each other all year is really going to help both of them too. Last season that didn’t happen until Tulo came back from his wrist injury (Cargo started the year as the leadoff hitter and wasn’t in the middle of the order consistently until Tulo was on the DL) and even then Tulo wasn’t himself for about a month because he could barly hit for power. So basically we’ve only seen about a month of what can happen when Cargo and real Tulo bat next to each other and Lord help opposing pitchers if last September is any indication of what they will be doing for the next seven years.

Also, once the season starts, be sure to swing by for some game threads. We can watch Cargo and Tulo mash HR’s that give De La Rosa and Chacin the win. It’ll be awesome.

Felix, Lee, and Lester on one team is good? I pulled that out last night, in a league with 16 players and 24 roster spots!

I'll be the pundit.

Your outfield is a little lacking. Each one of those guys had a great 2010, and scouting reports are well circulated now. Especially the two rookies, a sophomore slump could be looming for them.

As long as Utley’s out, Howard doesn’t have much protection in the lineup and will be shouldering the load. He already has a very high K-rate, so it might go up.

Pitching has a lot of quesitons. Carp’s getting up there in age, Garza has a change in scenery, Cain and DLR are question marks. I think Gallardo will be decent with Grienke helping him, and Chacin is a good sleeper. RP’s are ok, should get you a few saves.

Just trying to be critical. You got a few good ones there, Alvarez should only get better than last year, and Tulo is looking to have a solid whole year, instead of just 2nd half. Good luck!

-Joe

by jcn7vc on Mar 21, 2011 11:48 PM MDT reply actions  

Thanks man

I know Heyward is hittint .471 this pre season and they are saying he looks like a potential NL MVP candidate, and Stanton is putting up big numbers as well. He hit 23 Home runs in 100 games last year… add another 80 to that and he could have hit 40 HR’s his rookie season… He has gotten stronger over the year and is projected to hit 38 HR’s (high for an ESPN projection) with at least 15 of them being “No doubters” which is a 420 + foot shot. He has unheard of powers much like Cargo and Alverez. Sandivol lost 30 pounds and is actually in good shape.. ESPN said he could put up MVP like numbers at a very cheap price (I got him like 11th round).

As far as pitching goes Carpenter picthed in more games than any SP in baseball last year and people are saying he is healthy as ever (I am still nervous though), Chacin did great for me last year in the last 5 or 6 games. Gallardo is a stud… he’ll win 18 games this year.. mark my words. Cain is always decent, and Garza got 15 wins in the AL east. Any division is better to pitch in than that one plus I look at Chicago as a sleeper team this year.

Also keep in mind Freeman is hearing talks of possible rookie of the year and Travis Snider hit 14 HR’s in half a season last year at age 23… he is projected to hit 28 HR’s this year and he is my 4th outfielder.

Also

I have been following Stanton for a while.. I picke dhim up the minute i heard he was called up last year and I’m tellin you he might strike out a lot but you are about to see a 40+ HR guy for the next decade. He has unbelieveable power it is scary.

I agree that Howard could be a big problem this year with no protection but how is Matt Cain a question mark?

I hope you’re right for the Rockies sake (sorry NastyNessy71) but he seems about as consistent as anyone.

Howard still

will bat clean up with Matt Holliday and Jimmy Rollins hitting in front of him with Ibanez hitting behind him at 5 so I think Howard will be just fine.. he is projected to hit 36 bombs this year. I think Cain is due for a break out season.

Matt Holliday?

Do you mean Chase Uttley?

I could be dead wrong on this but I’m really down on Philly’s offense this year and I think Howard’s numbers are going to suffer because of it. I still think he’s a great hitter but I think some of his numbers in the past have been inflated by the enormous production of the guys around him. I’m in the middle of writing why I don’t think the Phils are going to win their division this year right now though so maybe I’m just taking it a little too far.

Jeeez

Brain fart haha my bad I get STL and Philly mixed up but yea with Utley hurting Howard will have Rollins in front of him and probh Victorino (not too too bad) with Ibanez hitting behind him which isn’t too bad. I don’t know… Howard still has the Power and will get at least 30 HR and that’s all I ask from him

I really feel this team is stacked

at least offensively. You will have to get lucky and pick up some pitching down the road to make a deep run in the play offs. Howard, Tulo, Alverez, Pablo, Heyward, Cargo, WOW you see my team.

by arpagamos on Mar 22, 2011 9:38 AM MDT up reply actions  

You forgot the gut that will hit more HR's than any of them

Mike Stanton =) But thanks man I appreciate it I like my hitting as well. I think Gallardo will have an Ubaldo like season this year with the Brewers and I think Cain could put up simililar numbers to say a Josh Johnson so if those 2 do work, Caroenter gets his 15 or 16 wins and Chacin has a breakout year I will be set… all big IFs tho

You might need to find a more competitive league

if with the 9th overall pick you can get Tulo, CarGo, and Ryan Howard… unless I’m missing something whereby the scoring format devalues one or some of these guys…

This is a very competative league

People just went pitching. Roy Halladay went 1st overall over Pujols (I screamed REACH) but Felix went in teh 1st round as well and Lincecum and Lester all wentg in the 2nd round. The team that won it last year was stacked at pitching but I feel my pitching will hold up and my hitting is better than any teams in my league… Like I said it’s competative we play for a lot of money

I don't know

There are a lot of great players out there when you combine pitchers and hitters. I would take Tulo higher than 9 (in fact i did in my draft) but I think there are several people out there who don’t realize how good he is yet.

And I can totally see Howard being taken later. I don’t even think he’s one of the five best players at his position. I like Pujols, Votto, Gonzalez, Cabrera, and Youkilis more.

by RhodeIslandRoxfan on Mar 22, 2011 11:13 AM MDT up reply actions  

Yep

Pujols, Votto, Miggy Cabrera all went 1st round… A Gon and Youk went second and I got Howard in the 3rd.. Fielder went a pick ahead of Howard. My league has a lot of Sox and Yankee fans so A lot of them went higher than they should which I used to my advantage but I went real under teh radar with my team this year in Heyward, Stanton and ALvarez… the guys kind of knew who they were but really didn’t know until I explained the players to them. We shall see they all are givin me shit about my team saying my pitching is wayy too week but If my team puts up a lot of HR’s I will feel much better.

Do the stats you guys count

place an emphasis on pitching?

Typically Tulo goes in teh top 5 picks, CarGO towards the end of the 1st round, and Howard in the 2nd.

Seems like the stats really devalue the stolen base and reward the home run…

2. Halladay
3. Lincecum
4. H. Ramirez
5. Adrian Gonzalez (Huge Red Sox fan)
6. Felix Hernandez

Stolen Bases

are 1 point. A solo shot is about 6 points and it only increases with baserunners. A two run shot is 7 a 3 run shot is 8 and a grand slam is 12 b/c of bonus points. For pitching a win is pkus 10 points to the total innings pitched and strike outs so if a pitcher goes 8 innings with a win and like 6 or 7 strike outs you are looking at a 20-25 point game from them. SP’s will only go once a week most the time tho or sometimes your aces will go twice in one week and none in teh next so you will win the week they go twice but lose the next week if you build your team around pitching. The way it works is you go head to head with another team for one full weeks worth of games sunday to sunday. Your batters will usually get 5 games a piece and pitchers will vary depending on the schedule and so on.

Sox fan have been for a long time.. I was Johnny Damon for Halloweeen my 7th grade year which was before they won any WS. I love the Rox too and root for them against every team but the Sox. Plus Carl Crawford is my favorite player and the fact that my Sox got him just mad eme so happy even tho I wish we didn’t spend so much money but hey… The Rox spent a little dough this off season too in which I think was brilliant.. We’ll see if you guys keep Ubaldo.. Just please don’t send him to NY

Your favorite player is Crawford and you the three guys you really wanted in the draft were Cargo, Heyward, and Stanton? You must have a thing for outfielders ;-)

………As far as Ubaldo goes, the word is that they plan on offering him a deal next offseason. If that happens the yankees will have to keep their paws off of all three of our superstars and save their money for the Giant pitchers instead. hehehe.
