The Start of a Fantasy Baseball Infant

[imported_shallowfrozenwater]

i like Wellemeyer for Carlson.

i LOVE your OF. LOVE. IT. as i was slowly going through your team and i saw some good and bad i was getting some concerns but then, i got to your OF. Milledge isn\'t a mouse click error if you ask me by the way, he\'ll be the leadoff man for the Nats and i\'m expecting some really nice numbers this year.
you have no closers although all of your RP\'s are going to get some saves this season. but saves can be found on the wire and you do have setup men who can step in for a closer in case of injury. does your league count holds? you\'ll get lots of those.
you have a solid team if you ask me actually. generally you did well. i wouldnt worry too much about what youre going to be doing for the next little while. i\'d make the switch suggestion above and then watch the wire for some saves.

Yeah I left my Relief until the very end since the scoring categories are:

Innings Pitched - 3
Hits Allowed - (-1)
Walks Issued - (-1)
Earned Runs - (-2)
Strikeouts - 3
Wins - 10
No Hitter - 25
Perfect Game - 50

Wins are so HUGE.

I\'ll make the Wellemeyer switch and we\'ll see what happens.

My RP actually looks really quite bad.

[GoldenSeals]

Your RP are actually pretty good if you ask me? Would also drop Wellemeyer for Carlson.

[Burnsy]

So quick question here.

The league has daily adds/drops and is points style.

Would it be beneficial to just stream RP in and out over the course of a week since there should be some ok guys on the WW?

Looking at the rest of my roster I don\'t really want to risk dropping my Starters or my Hitters, but I could maybe pull it off with the Relief guys.

[Burnsy]

Or maybe that doesn\'t work so well with RP. I\'ve never done this before.

[GoldenSeals]

The only guy you want to stream is Carlson.

[Burnsy]

I\'ve already made the drop with Carlson. Looks like we\'re good to go with this team.

Let the season begin.

If I do well this will be HUGE props to this place.

Figured I\'d keep the running tally of my progress here this season. I watched 4 baseball games this week. That\'s about 3 more then I have ever watched in my life before this season outside of a few postseason that I take in every year for kicks.

I lost Week 1 633-549. The 549 points was 5th of 10th on the week, so right in the middle of the pack.

Ian Kinsler was my top hitter, netting me 37 points.

Aaron Harang\'s 65 fantasy points were monstrous for me from the mound, and Wainwright and Myers were close behind with 54 and 50 respectively.

Wellemeyer was a brutal -5 for the week and Lastings Milledge was a -1.

Moves I made this week were:

Dropped Jesse Carlson and added Todd Wellemeyer (the bum!)

Dropped Scot Shields and added Huston Street.

Added Randy Winn while Upton was on DL.

I have Jose Guillen to stick on the DL now but he is my DH and so I either would have to drop someone like Winn (since Upton is coming off of DL this week and we only get one DL spot) or keep him and leave my DH spot open (which doesn\'t sound great)

I\'m playing the #4 ranked team this week who is 1-0. (I\'m sitting in 7th)

Week 2:

Ended up with the highest score for the week and won my matchup 686-657.

Kinsler was a monster for me and so was Billingsley.

I had some pretty big pitching concerns this week though in Matsuzaka, Dotel and Street all earning me negative points.

I\'m sitting at 4th in the league with a 1-1 record and playing the #2 team in the league - 2-0 record (who is the other complete Baseball newbie in this league!)

Moves this week:

Added Nick Swisher and dropped Lastings Milledge
Added Octavio Dotel and Dropped Huston Street

Every 3 weeks I\'ll give a full roster summary.
