Fantasy Baseball Drafting Help

[UCFinfan86]

I am in some deep deep keeper leagues, liek 25 rosters spots with 20 team leagues. I need help with RP's. Not the closers but the guys that will get holds. People like Scott Linebrink are already gone, who else do you think i shoudl go after? I like Yhency Brazhoban but i need 3. Also what young SPs are out there, Papelbon, Liscanio, Verlander are already gone. Who are some sleeper guyz?

Before Johan became a beast, I drafted him in round 7... Everyone was like "WTF, way to early"... Needless to say I pwned that leage (as I do them all). Green is right... Anyone can be a sleeper. Just check out there last few years, age, etc...

Kyle Farnsworth or Octavio Dotel, Yankees.
Danys Baez, Dodgers
Okinori Otsuka, Rangers
Bob Howry, Cubs
Jorge Julio, Mets

All are new to their respective teams.

Ryan Madsen, Phillies
Juan Rincon, Twins

You could probably get Dotel very late because he's until May or June. I;d try and get Baez, he seems like he'd be a good pick up and could get saves if Gagne goes down.

Personally I'd stay away from Julio and Farnsworth but everyone else on the list is pretty good. How about Julian Tarveas or Mike Timlin?

Justin Duchscherer is in the top 5 when we are discussing 7th and 8th inning guys. Before anyone argues, look at his numbers and remember it was the first time he'd been exclusivley a bull pen guy.

Joe Kennedy and Kirk Sarloos will also throw some innings for you. If the a's staff gets some injuries they could also sneak in a start here and there.

The American League rookie of the year is not a sleeper. If the A's staff stays healthy and they get production from the middle of the order he'll save 40 games and have 5+ wins.

You don't like Farnsworth? I love Farnsworth, hell of a fastball & slider. I wish he was still on the Cubs. Plus if you get fantasy points for beating the hell out of another player in a brawl he's a must, 2 & 0.

I think Farnsworth is going to choke under the pressure of NY. Just my opinion though.

great steal for me last year when i picked up jorge cantu should have a big year again

i think ben sheets will have a big year and mark prior will come back strong

also check out the baltmore starting staff should all do better now that they got coach yoda there

Got first pick in my draft this year. Think I'm going to take Pujols, on account that I can't stand the thought of having Pay-Rod as the cornerstone of my team.

Sentiment has no place in fantasy baseball. I'd put Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin on my roster if they'd hit .300 with good power and some steals. If you have another, more legitimate, reason for Pujols over A-Rod, so be it. But dislike for A-Rod is a dumb reason to pass on him.

Perhaps, but fortunately, fantasy baseball doesn't record stats like "blown saves in games that would decide first place in the division."

Farnsworth won't get many saves, obviously, but he'll probably get some relief wins, and should get plenty of holds, not to mention boosting your strikeout numbers. He'll walk some guys though.
