Derek Jeter SS 21 million

 

Ewwwwwwwwww

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Ewwwwwwwwww

 

This.

[Flynnatic10]

Ervin Santana, SP ($6,000,000)

 

 

now my lack of baseball knowledge will show

[italstallianion]

I think that he was already taken.

[italstallianion]

Yeah, he's the Exman's "ace"

[Jasonbay44]

Santana is gone

[a700hitter]

Since I have a lot of money left I might as well spend it. I'd have made this pick later but the only 2 people without SS's are Yankee fans.

 

Derek Jeter SS 21 million

 

Brian Matusz SP 400k

 

 

With Matusz, it technically said 65k as his salary, but Dipre and I talked about it and we figured it'd be more consistent to just go with the 400k minimum.

 

Anyway, Flynnatic, you're up again.

Damn! I thought Matusz might fly under the radar. He had an excellent final two months in 2010.

[Flynnatic10]

s***.

[EXman369]

Yeah' date=' he's the Exman's "ace"[/quote']

 

Lets call it more of a number one

[Flynnatic10]

Glen Perkins, SP

[italstallianion]

In all fairness, to defend my Jeter pick, if you look at the SS crop available, it's pretty much Jeter and a bunch of people that would hardly be worthy of a 25th round pick. I hadn't had a single player on my team over 10 million, and I had about 5.75 million remaining per player. With Matusz's cheap contract mixed with Jeter's contract, that results in about 4.85 million remaining per player, which is still higher than the 4.4 million per player average that we had to start with. My point is, I had the money and I doubted that I was going to be able to make a trade for a big bat and incur salary, so the money was going to get spent somewhere.

 

In addition, the only 2 people without SS's were Divinity and Y228, so I doubt that he would have made it back to me, and god forbid that one of them did take Jeter or else I'd be totally f***** at SS. If Jeter rebounds from last year and has a halfway decent season, it'd be worth it in the end. It's not like I get to keep the unspent money anyway, and he's still a very good offensive SS considering how thin the position is to begin with.

[italstallianion]

Anyway, Jbay is up again.

[Jasonbay44]

Curtis Granderson, OF

Salary: $5,500,000

 

Ill have him in LF for now.

[yankees228]

Miguel Olivo, C (2 M)

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Crappppppp! Ital looks like I'll be sending you another backup.

[EXman369]

I see Granderson having a great year with a full season in pinstripes

[italstallianion]

Keeper is up now.

[Jasonbay44]

I see Granderson having a great year with a full season in pinstripes

 

Only thing that worries me about him is his awful splits vs lefties.

[EXman369]

Yeah he is even worse then ortiz against them

[italstallianion]

It doesn't look like Keeper is online.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

He should make an apperance a little later. I also sent you my backup picks Ital.

[italstallianion]

Haha you spelled both "Curtis Granderson" and "Julio Lugo" incorrectly in the message you sent me RSFFL.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Julio Lugo? I didn't even write anything about him in my message? Lol.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Accursed Keeper, I want to make my pick tonight.

[italstallianion]

Only thing that worries me about him is his awful splits vs lefties.

 

 

That might not matter if you only put him in your lineup vs. righties. That's why solely using things such as WAR wouldn't be a good way to decide who has the best team, because we'd be using players in different roles than they were used with their teams. For example, we might use certain hitters as platoons, or fielding different positions, etc. So if you don't use him against lefties, then his stats vs. lefties shouldn't really matter.

[italstallianion]

Julio Lugo? I didn't even write anything about him in my message? Lol.

 

 

I figured that you'd take the hint and let others think that you may have. In any case, you did spell "Granderson" incorrectly.

[italstallianion]

All right, I have J-EEzy, RSFFL, Dipre, and Exman's picks. Let's go Keeper.

[Keeper]

Jhoulys Chacin - SP ($400,000)

 

I thought long and hard about Granderson. Nice pick, JBay.

[italstallianion]

J-EEzy wanted Ryan Madson RP 4.5m

 

WB is up.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Ted Lilly - SP ($12M)
