Re: one of my four teams..

BTW, this was the first team I drafted this year, so I went a little Reds heavy.

offensive powerhouse in a points league. I traded Weiters, Berkman and Slowy for Derek Lee, Kazmir and Beckett. Dropped Butler, added Winn, Dropped Benjie Molina (DUMB) for John Baker (grasping at sleeper straws) Dropped Ellis for Dickerson, dropped Pierzynski for Teagarden.

I think I blew it on the C position.

Even if you thought he was the best available there had to be some other guys still available who are comparable in value. You could have waited a bit for those guys and gotten a better value...

Re: one of my four teams..

I'm hoping the strength of my pitching and getting Dukes, Cameron, Hudson and Dickerson late offset that. Plus I think Baker might be this year's Geovany Soto.

I'm not so sure that Cameron, Hudson, and Dickerson really have all that much upside in fantasy baseball though...

Re: one of my four teams..

Cameron will hit 25+ and steal 25+. I'll take those numbers.

I've got a feeling Dickerson might just do the same thing.
