And Mike Sweeney might actually be my BEST player.

Were any of you wise enough to take Brian Roberts? The little guy has four of the Orioles team total of six homers so far. He's hit as many homers in seven games as he did in 159 last year.

i was the wise one who snagged brian roberts. i need more two-steal games like last nite. the power's nice, but i need the speed. i'm going to easily dominate the power categories as it is. who was it again that made fun of me for my pat burrell pick? hoya, looking in your direction...

yes, that was indeed me ... he'll break down at some point, don't worry =)
 
 you should trade brian roberts right now while you can get some value for him, he won't do this all year ... speaking of trades, I need speed, and have plenty of pitching and power to spare, anyone?

in another league i'm in, i have both brian roberts and pat burrell.  so, i'm sitting pretty through 1 week.    
 
 as for this league. . here's hoping eric hinske keeps his production up.

[Guiny]

I went 4-3 in my other league after week one. Didnt pay much attention to either league since I was tanning in Aruba. But now I'm back and see that the waiver wire is very thin and I went from 10th place to 13th over night.

ok, guys, let's not post things to me that say 'is that a joke?'
 
 i don't know what you're talking about. i'm going sheerly and meerly on stats.  i don't know a damn thing about my players, except i'm trying to have hitters with high hitting numbers and pitchers with low whipped numbers.  that's all i'm doing.
 
 did i do something dumb?  wouldn't surprise me.

then i apologize.  i just found it incredible that someone would dump armando benitez so early in the season, esp. since he has at least 21 saves each of the last 7 season, including 47 saves last year.  the "s" stands for saves, and counts in the rankings.

[jkeisenh]

saves, meaning... ?  i'm still not getting it.  i dumped him because his whip was high.

[BookerT]

saves, as in the category i will end up winning (or at least top 3) even though octavio dotel was the only closer i drafted. thanks for the free armando benitez!

[HoyaSaxa03]

man my hitters are all in huge slumps ... props to chimbly for staying near the top of the league...

[jkeisenh]

yeah, but my good SP is on the DL.  i'm slipping fast.

And I'll just continue my steady rise to the top....

Good point, I'll move it over here.

 I'm OK with $6 Mill for Cabrera, and I think I'd be ok with $2.3 for Eck.  I'm glad we didn't pay $8 Mil for Renteria or $8.25 for Nomar, but damn, Texas got a steal in $2.4 for Micheal Young.
