DH and one Util btw

 

[zjcvols]

Reyes

So one more pick for me, two more for you. You get first pitcher pick.

 

[005]

Beltre.

 

[zjcvols]

Pedroia.

 

[005]

Thought about him.

My last pick: Molina.

 

[zjcvols]

My lineup is (Pedroia, Cabrera, Reyes, Wright, McCutchen, Trout, Heyward, Fielder, Zobrist, Posey)

SS Reyes
CF McCutchen
DH Fielder
1B Cabrera
C Posey
RF Heyward
3B Wright
2B Zobrist

UTIL Pedroia

 

[005]

Mine...

Bryce - CF
Braun - LF
Votto - 1B
Giancarlo - RF
Holliday - DH
Cano - 2B
Tulowitzki - SS
Beltre - 3B
Molina - C

UTIL - Longoria

 

[zjcvols]

Could Bryce leadoff?

 

[zjcvols]

Your infield D destroys mine.

 

[TBrown]

How the hell did Giancarlo get this far down?

You picked mccutchen. That's how

 

[005]

Bryce's OBP was almost the same as Reyes last year. Oddly, out of my lineup, he makes the most sense as the traditional leadoff type.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Taking Zobrist over Phillips is laughable.

 

[005]

Zobrist is better.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Zobrist is better.

Any slight advantage he has offensively is completely destroyed when you compare their defense.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

How is Carlos Gonzalez on neither of these teams?

 

[005]

Zobrist certainly isn't bad defensively and he's super versatile. I thought Z was replacing Zobrist at 2nd with Pedroia then making Zobrist utility, but either one works, and he needed the LH bat.

 

[005]

How is Carlos Gonzalez on neither of these teams?

I wanted him sorta. Who should he replace?

 

[zjcvols]

Taking Zobrist over Phillips is laughable.

Zobrist line last two years: .269/.365/.470

Phillips line last two years: .291/.337/.444

I like Phillips. Good player, great guy, awesome for baseball. Rather have Zobrist. Also, for my team, Zobrist can play eight other positions adequately

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

I wanted him sorta. Who should he replace?

Um, Bryce Harper.

 

[zjcvols]

Could have taken Cargo over Heyward, but Heyward is the best defensive corner OF in the league (until Trout takes over at left full time).

 

[005]

Let's let Bryce play in Coors and see what happens.

 

[VOLinthaNATI]

Could have taken Cargo over Heyward, but Heyward is the best defensive corner OF in the league (until Trout takes over at left full time).

Cargo is a better OF than Heyward. :good!:

 

[zjcvols]

Cargo home/road splits:

home: .338/.394/.609
away: .258/.313/.422

He goes from one of the three best hitters in baseball to a barely average hitters.

Remember when they said the same thing about Matt Holiday?

 

[005]

Cargo would be one of the next probably 2 guys I picked.
