My fiancée used to get pissed when fantasy football season rolled around. Once I took up fantasy baseball 3 years ago, she deals with football just fine. Now baseball is another story....

Lucky for me, my wife is almost as much a football fan as I am a baseball fan. As such, we have an easy understanding of the time our sports take. I get the way better end of the deal, as I just lose sundays for 18-20 weeks, while she has to deal with me doing and watching baseball stuff for 9 months.

If she were not patient and undstanding, she would have no business being with me.......

Jim would find my address and bomb my house if I did that.............

Something tells me Jim would be okay with that since he is picking 3.

 

[Reverend Jim]

I vote that it's not fair the owners at the 3-spot have to listen to the top 2 whine about this problem. Maybe we should let those two slip to the 3-spot? All in favor?

I'm fine with Duda going first and I'm all for swapping my third pick with Sam to ease his Burdon of having to choose between Miggy and Trout. Just say the word Sam, I'm here to help.

I'll give you all fair warning: you pass on Duda and he's mine at the 10 spot!

We have that in writing so we're holding you to it.

The Trout vs Miggy battle is keeping me up at night. Can I pass on Miggy? I haven't had him in fantasy in years. But steals are a category.(Non-roto I don't think Id hesitate) Not sure Cabrera will hit enough homers or pick up enough RBI to cancel it out. If I take Trout and he gets hurt, it's just my fantasy luck that's ran out. If I take Cabrera and he goes on the DL for the first time in his career my summer will be heartbreaking. It's a tough call.

I don't have an answer for you. This one is as close as it gets.

Cargo is better than both of them when he plays. Take Cargo and let the other two fall to fourth.

I think it's rather easy, quite simple. If you start four or more OF's, you take Trout. If it's three, you think about it more, but I could lean towards Miggy in that scenario.

All kidding aside.

Weekly points league, with th point system favoring the pitchers.

I get to keep 5

Kershaw
King Felix
Votto
G Stanton

On the fifth one do I go with the aging pitcher (Cliff Lee) or the young hitter (Puig)?

 

[TREFF]

I say Puig, Yankeefan

 

[TKOSpikes]

Puig all the way.

 

[obxyankeefan]

Thanks that was the way I was leaning

Normally I would agree, but if you only start 3 OFs, I would go the other way.

I am a little nervous that Puig is going to flame out. He does not seem very motivated to get better.

He is, however, motivated to sample every fast food joint in America, it seems. I might be thinking twice on this one as well.

Im a sucker for Cliff Lee. Not sure why.
