Pre-strategy

Looks like the team was built to get Wins and Ks every week at the expense of Saves and go AVG and R on the hitting side. Assuming you get four categories a week, you need to go 2-3 over the remaining categories (ERA, WHIP, HR, RBI, and SB). Do the early standing bear this out?

you don't get a win for every category

its points
double,triples,total base,walks each give you a walk :example a triple gives you 4 pts(1 for 3b, 3 for TB)
HR,RBI,Run and stolen bases: 2pts each
pitchers:
Ip:3
 Hits,walks and run: -1, Loss -5
stikeout:2
win:10
Shoutout:5
Save:7
No hitter:15

Tough

The scoring is a little unusual, but it looks like it favors HRs (4 bases + 2 for HR + 2 for RBI + 2 for Run = 10 points) and low WHIP high K SP.

The team is weak in HRs, esp if I have calc’d the points per HR correctly. I’d look to deal Kershaw, Cain, Galarraga and Verlander for a bopper or two. The corners look easy to upgrade in the power aspect.

what do you think of offering

markaris for texeira??, now that a-rod’s back i think texeira can only get better plus the friendly park.

Possibly

I’d try to deal Verlander myself. Or try to preserve my OF.

really ??

you think he won’t keep it up to his great may start, i was thinking more of trading oswalt or cain, think oswalt is over rated

by XXDC2XX on May 19, 2009 9:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

Agree

I’d rather trade Cain and Oswalt, but I suspect a big bopper won’t be had for less than verlander. I rather trade the bounceback guy.
