June Already?

June 1st is approaching... In my opinion the begining of June is when you need to start closley examing your team and evaluating your strengths and weaknesses. Its time to cut those guys who you thought were sleepers at the draft, but havent yet panned out.

So far it has been a pretty tough year for me in particular. In my two fantasybaseballexpress related leagues i am in 5/12 and 11/13. The league i am in 5th in is the Superior Mendoza Swingers League which Mikey talked about on the last podcast. Until very recently i was holding down 3rd solidly. I took a very unique apprach to this league. I filled my pitching staff with mostly middle relivers. Im talking about guys like Jonathan Broxton and Manny Corpas, who have thus far panned out. I got Jose Valverde at a discout. I belive i didnt draft a SP until round 14. My current starters are Escobar, Burnett, Vazquez, and wandy Rodriguez. Im doing solid in ERA and WHIP as expected but im in dead last in K/W. Unless my hitting really picks it up, i will realize that my strategy failed and that its time to get some SP's.

The Fantasybaseballexpress Writer's League has been pretty interesting thus far. As i may have stated before i was watching 24 during the draft and therefore didnt draft as well as i would have thought. In short my offense is a mess. I'll leave it at this i have Konerko A.Jones Ensberg + (had) Barfield all starting for me. My pitching is pretty solid w/ Dice K Vazquez Harang J Sheilds + Gil Meche. I think as my players pick it up my team will go up the standings a little bit..


Dont Give Up On:

Chone Figgins: Hes making contact and has a high gb%. His luck will eventually reverse itself and he will start contributing.

Paul Konerko: I have no reasoning for this. Its just as simple as that given past history he has to turn it around very soon. Try to buy him low.


It may be time

Andruw Jones: He must be hiding an injury


Jack Cust: His contact% eventually showed itself. If you can get any sort of value for him get rid of him now
