sterlingice · 03-11-2009, 07:14 PM

Frankly, I thought Ianetta had been on the board about 3 rounds too long. Since it's not a daily league, it's hard to justify 2 C's, but he was moving to the top of my list and I already have a C

Making my picks now before finally watching 24...

PackerFanatic · 03-11-2009, 08:26 PM

I REALLY like the new player data/notes thing that Yahoo just put in. So much nicer than a new window.

PackerFanatic · 03-11-2009, 08:31 PM

16.12 RP Francisco Cordero
17.1 3B Mark Reynolds

Cordero has lasted a little too long out there, I think, and I could use another good closer. I think his issues in spring will go away and he will be a solid addition to my bullpen.

sterlingice · 03-11-2009, 08:58 PM

I was all set to pick Cordero but I was worried after reading about this spring. I don't care about a bad spring performance or three, but I am worried if there are injury problems and this could be lingering from last fall so that's why I went with Gonzalez (that and I think Atlanta will get him a good number of save opportunities this year).

PackerFanatic · 03-11-2009, 09:25 PM

I have been playing fantasy sports on Yahoo for a number of years and the things they have done the past few years have really made me like them more and more each passing year. It is good to know that there are still companies out there that are looking for the users and don't make you pay an arm and a leg for an awesome product.

sterlingice · 03-11-2009, 09:34 PM

Agreed- Yahoo does keep making little steps forward each year and considering how much we pay for it, you can't complain at all

I really like Yahoo and i am in two other leagues that are using ESPN which has come a long way as well, plus you gotta love free.

I hate this pick, but considering he is a prospect with no experience I get the feeling everyone else will like the move.

It's an upside pick. Lots of those at this point so don't be yourself up about it. He looked good last September.

FWIW, the Dog Pound has no room on his starting roster for Adam LaRoche, so LaRoche has to be a bench player to start the season.

I only started playing fantasy football on ESPN this year, and the one thing I can say that puts them on top of Yahoo is free live scoring. If Yahoo had that, I would use them exclusively.

I just assumed he would start with Vernon Wells on the DL and LaRoche at Util

I am still holding out hope that the Crew can bring him back, but I doubt he will be on the team if/when he comes back this season.

It's a risk but he was a guy I was tempted to take before the long break between my picks, so I was just happy he was there when it got back to me. Was tempted to see if he'd last a couple more rounds, but if he works out I *really* like my staff, and if he doesn't, well, already a low enough investment that I wouldn't feel terribly cheated.

Given the rest of my staff though, I'm hoping he works out. Could make missing out on a few of the guys I had hoped to pluck sting a whole lot less.
