thanks guys for all the input! fantasy bases is my top sport, i like football but i love bases, so if anyone has any questions for me dont hesitate to ask for advice, i will gladly give some input
for my SS, i went with andrelton simmons late because most of the even halfway decent SS were already off the board by then, and simmons is a great contact hitter. it wouldnt be farfetched to see him hit .280 this year, and he hardly ever strikes out, so thats really all i could ask for out of that position. unless you get a Tulo, hanram, maybe jj hardy? there arent very many great SS options out there. i avoided the likes of jimmy rollins and asdrubal cabrera, those guys are heading south fast
i do agree that i need some more younger guys, but i tend to scout a lot of younger players once callups roll around, and im always looking into the waiver wire. fantasy baseball is a daily grind, and lineups change more than any other season. i like going with the proven vets with good track records in the draft, and making younger additions as the season goes on
as for v-mart and my 1B, he is somewhat of a temporary 1B for me. he doesnt hit for power, but the average is always there year in and year out. when they play enough games against the NL and he catches (need 5 games to qualify), he will probably become my permanent catcher. this is why i drafted Lind, for some pop at 1B, but i could also look to trade for a stud 1B if he doesnt pan out. For now, salvador perez is a fine option, he is a young guy that looks very promising in the league.
there are 12 teams in my league. one concern i have is at closer, on paper right now i have 3 very solid closers but to me, papelbon and nathan are definitely older and could have some issues down the road. papelbon isnt looking great this spring either but its early. at least nathan is on the tigers so he should get a lot of save opps. that being said, my biggest mistake was taking nathan when i completely didnt see kenley jansen on the board at that same pick. i love jansen, i think he will be the top closer in baseball this year if healthy. that being said, nathan is still a solid option
also not sure about the bottom of my rotation. gallardo, wandy, and pineda are all big question marks. gallardo can be such an idiot on the mound, walking pitchers, getting ahead 0-2 and walking guys, so im curious to see how he works. i kind of hope he starts out hot so i can trade him early. rickie weeks is a long shot, im hoping he heats up early too because the potential is definitely there but he has sucked in recent years. i dont know why i ended up with so many damn brewers :-/
