re: The ATL Thread Baseball League: Season Long Thread

My team looks nothing like I had planned, but I'm still happy with it.

I really like my bench, I think I'll be able to make a couple moves before the end of the year.

This is my first fantasy league, so I'm okay with my team

Hiltacular

Starting Lineup - 3rd
One of the best hitting lineups out there. Wasn't ranked below 5th in any category, and was ranked 3rd in runs, rbi's, and sb's. Have 3 guys that could go 20/20 without a problem. Good all around lineup.
Players I like - Goldschmidt, Longoria, Hamilton
Players I don't like - Molina

Pitching - 4th
Good starting rotation from top to bottom and even was able to add a couple of top notch closers. Should definitely be competitive in all categories each week.
Players I like - Cain, Latos, Hanrahan
Players I don't like - Ogando, Lewis

Bench - 5th
Was also able to grab a great bench with some upside with guys like Smoak, Rasmus, Sanchez.

Overall - 3rd
Not too bad for not being there for the draft. As the ranking suggests, I think this is one of the top teams in the league and will make the playoffs if there are not any terrible injuries or boneheaded decisions.

Ed Randall

Starting Lineup - 1st
Graded out 1st in 3 of the 5 categories (runs, rbi's, ops), and were in the top half of the league in sb's and hr's. Really good mix of young guys such as Santana, Kipnis, Cespedes, Jennings and vets like Berkman, Mauer, Votto. It is safe to say this lineup is going to be good not only this year, but in the future as well.
Players I like - Most everyone
Players I don't like - Ethier

Pitching - 5th
Rotation full of young guys with big potential, but at the same time guys that have produced at a pretty high level before. Chapman is a wildcard as he is still being stretched out as a starter, but could also be very valuable as a closer if the Reds end up deciding to go that route. You have Darvish who will be fun to watch, Ubaldo who will be fun to watch this year, and Pomeranz. This team could finish near the top in pitching this year, or could finish in the lower half. It all depends on the success of some of these unknowns, but if I were a betting man, I say it turns out to be one of the league's best.
Players I like - Luebke, Darvish, Jimenez
Players I don't like - League

Bench - 6th
I still hate him for taking Espinosa. That is all.

Overall - 2nd (3.30)

Could have easily been first. I had me and him justn.05 points apart, and a lot of that to do is of course the guys I picked were guys that I had projected to put up big numbers. It's going to be hard for Dan to miss the playoffs. Great, great team.

Swamp Donkeys

Starting Lineup - 4th
I have me graded out as top 5 in 4 of the 5 categories, including 1st in HR and 2nd in OPS. SB's brought my rank down a bit because I graded out at 11th there, but still not far behind from being a middle of the pack team in the category.
Players I like - Stanton, Bruce.
Players I don't like - Roberts

Pitching - 1st
Most won't agree with me here, because I have no true starter, but I had Gallardo, Wilson, Daniel Hudson, Gio Gonzalez, and Sanchez all graded out as better pitchers than their adp. Worley will hopefully add a little stability in weeks where I need a little extra in one category. I'm not very high on my closers, as most were guys that were just rewarded the job or are still fighting to be the closer. I do have 4 of them and all should help in k/9 so that is a plus.
Players I like - Most everyone
Players I don't like - Broxton,

Bench - 10th
There is Harper, then a bunch of shite. Hopefully Utley can get healthy because I really need him in my starting lineup at 2nd.

Overall - 1st (3.25)
:inb4biased:

Thanks man. First game in two days

That's definitely going to be an advantage, because he'll throw a couple times the first matchup.

What does your team look like?

I really like that team.

Lee, Hamels, and Gallardo is as good as it gets.

Kemp, Stanton, Wright, Hosmer, Weiters are a great core.
