You need to be in one of my leagues.

What kinda league is it that you are running, and I have signed up for??

I am trying to learn as much as I can before the draft..

Here's a hot tip, draft any Zambrano or Molina with your first pick.

Genius.

Should I start Rafael Furcal at SS or Miguel Tejada? CBS Sports, where I play, actually has Furcal rated quite a bit higher.

I feel pretty good at SS to have both those guys in a 10 player league.

Tejada delivers; Furcal only helps you in SB's and runs.

Also, Robvols and I were discussing this in the NL West thread but who would you rather have on your team, Juan Pierre or Vlad Guerrero?

I like Furcal better, as a Dodger fan, but I know I can't think like that in fantasy league. He should be better this year now that his shoulder is healthy but I am leaning toward Tejada. He is batting cleanup with some good young hitters around him in Baltimore. He has been hitting very well this spring also.

Not sure how CBS does their rankings but a fantasy player would be well served to ignore them.

I like these threads, robvols, thanks, should help a lot this year.

[robvols]

No problem. And bring in needed attention.

Chris Coghlan - Florida Marlins or Juan Pierre -Chicago WS?

Pierre should be good for a ton of stolen bases at 2 pts. each or should I keep Coghlan who batted .321 last season?


- I actually just dropped Pierre for Vlad Guerrero and curious if I should pick him back up or keep Coghlan?

[robvols]

I would watch this very carefully. If Pierre shows signs of a rackup, then I would go pick him up.

I think I will scout Pierre for now and hold on to Coghlan. I wish I would have remembered the draft time instead of letting auto draft pick for me. I've got a decent team that I can work with but I like to pick my own players.
