Free Agent Wars

4/28

Dusty went off! He's down to $43 and spent a whopping $46 this week alone! Wow. Lots of activity these first 3 weeks. I think Todd should rename his team to Second place by a $1. He missed out on Acosta by $1 last week and Sanchez this week.

We also had the first trade of the year from Jim and Dusty. Looks like Dustin isn't waiting around to make changes.

Dustin's Draft Analysis - The Good, Bad, and Ugly

Reposted from CBS Message Board:


Andy-(UGLY) Giles at $15. But at the time he needed OF's and there was none left. (BAD) There really wasn't anyone, but if I had too chose it would be cordero(Keeper) at $20. (GOOD) Towles $4. I really didn't like catchers in this years draft, but this for four is a steal and future keeper. Honorable mention Rasmus $7.

Calvin- (Ugly) Willingham at $21. I don't know what was going on,but calvin must love this guy or think he'll a breakout year.(BAD) Only Lyons at $8. He'll probably lose his closer role and be moved to 7th inning duty. (Good) Zambrano at $20. Other top flight starters with k potential(that were young in age) were going for more. This guy on this team will have a breakout year.

Kelley- (Ugly) Gagne at $11. Future set up guy with bust all over him. (Bad) Gallrado at $19. I know he is a future stud, but he is injured and you could of kept him at $10.That is my only complaint.
(Good) Wright $40. Now kelley has the two best third baseman in the national league.I don't think hitting will be a problem this year for kelley. Honorable mention Peavy at $27.Ring up another cy young for him.

Dan- (Ugly) Dan's pitching staff. Dude he'll win hitting, but he should draft nine guys in the minors and start them.At least you would win e.r.a and whip. (Bad) Kemp at $20. With all the hype around this guy and the year he's going to have, just too rotate with pierre and either. Now I might be wrong and the dodgers our showcasing pierre for a trade. I don't think so though. Old torre loves veterans like old dusty.(good) reynolds at $11. This is good hitter 3 bagger in a hitter's ballpark. Honorable mention bourne and or the kouz(damn I should of kept him for 9)

Todd- (Ugly) Todd did a good job and I really can't find an ugly, But if I had to..let's go with jimenez for $10. Any rockies pitcher for more than five dollars is asking for trouble.(Bad) Wagner for $21. Old,Old and Old. I know you needed a closer and he is on the mets, but look at him...he is sooooo old.(Good) Your OF(not including pierre,but including kearns) You have power and some speed.I love milledge. Just a good combination. At first I over looked your hitting, but know I Know you will do well in those catergories.

Matt- (Ugly) PJM for $9. I Know he was a keeper, but this dude is a walking DL. I think him and wagner should open a vet's office and start putting down old dogs. Maybe the cockfighting has his mind on thoer things. (Bad) Francouer at $26. Paid just a little too much for a 20 homer guy batting sixth. (Good) Jackson at $10. Off the dr.pepper and into fantasy heaven, This guy is a stud and will get 25 homers and 90 RBI. Hinorable mention Bruce at $6 future kepper.

Trev- (Ugly) I have two players for him. One his his famous keeper..Lidge $13. This guy should look up wagner and PJM at the office, I'm sure they have an opening for a choke artist. the dogs have to go down some way. Zito at $3. It's only three dollars he
says. Dude what A waste of $126 million. Stash this guy untill sept. call ups. Onlt then would I have let him see the light of day. (Bad)
Bay at $20. Injury prone and on a bad team. That simple.
(Good) Zimmerman at $24. This guy will put up david wright numbers in the new ballpark. A pure stud in a revamped line up with nick johnson protecting him, there is no limit for this 23 year old.

Jason- (Ugly) Now if I had to give an anal(kaz matsui)ysis of his team it would be too many $1 players.If these players don't produce than I would say only a top four finish for jason. Has six very good plyers and three down right nasty SP's It takes more than that too win. (Bad) Matsui at $6. It's only six, butt being out coorado will make his hitting worse which he won't get on base as often to steal the 20-30 bases jason desires. (Good) Votto for $10. If only dusty baker would like rookies.

Jim- (ugly) Church for $18. I do like this guy at $7-8, but not at milledge,hall and fukudome money.I know it was at that point in the draft, but $18. (Bad) Upton for $20. Agian,this guy is a fantasy sleeper stud. We just haven't seen him enough and the league hasn't adjusted to him just yet.Hopefully he goes off for jim so he would not have to keep chuerch at $18 next year.Honorable mention Andy La roche. (Good) I love ankiel,but this is about nick johnson at $14. This might sound like I love the Nat's, but I just think johnson and zimmerman will put up very good numbers this year.

Dustin- (Ugly) Wood for $9. This guy is waiting for his application at the vet's office to be approved.it was denied since you at least need to show up at least twice to work in a three year span.(Bad) Two guys come too mind..Wilson At $5 and Winn At $8. I wanted winn for the 15-15 season, but I forgot who he played for that he is 33 years old. Wilson is a dude waiting to be traded and on a bad team.
(Good) I beleive my pitching staff will be very good. Two closers in waiting for a total of $4 dollars. 4 proven winning pitchers and a maybe the fantasy rookie of the year in cueto.Honorable mention Corey patterson for $2,dusty loves this guy from the cub days.(this dude will get 15-20 homers and steal 25-30 bases this year for 2 dollars)
