Originally posted by Lucky View PostI think I'm much more impressed with 2010 than 2012. Being able to pick up an MVP and a Cy Young tend to increase the odds of success.
How did you manage it in 2010?
Pedro Alvarez
Mike Aviles
Ike Davis
Dexter Fowler
Rafael Furcal
Carlos Gonzalez
Omar Infante
Kila Ka'aihue
Paul Konerko
Buster Posey
Travis Snider
Jose Tabata
Jim Thome
John Axford
Daniel Hudson
Ian Kennedy
Hiroki Kuroda
Shaun Marcum
Brett Myers
Joe Saunders
Max Scherzer
Billy Wagner
Carlos Zambrano
I snagged Konerko early, either he wasn't drafted or someone dropped him. I think Wagner started the year hurt and Axford emerged. Grabbing Posey in time for his call-up helped. Kuroda was my ace that year and CarGo was my 2010 version of Mike Trout. So apparently, if you can pick up the best fantasy OF in the game off waivers, you will win an AFA title.Last edited by virgonomic; 02-27-2013, 10:23 PM.

Picked up Lance Berkman last night. Had to get up at 2:45 a.m. to make sure I could FA him once waivers ran.
I'm going to burn a waiver pick tonight on Ben Revere.
It seems like the consensus is that we should concentrate heavily at this point on acquiring home run hitters whenever possible. Is that a fair assessment?
I'm still stockpiling closers and almost-closers. Frieri/Madson...Marmol/Fujikawa...Parnell...Ryan Cook...David Robertson. I still think my infield sucks, with Gyorko and Segura and Infante. I like Alonso better than most, I guess.
Any tips on how to get the other owners active, so they'll pick up some free agents and waive some people worth grabbing? I've sent a couple of league-wide emails hoping to stir them up. Only one guy made a waiver claim last night.
BTW, would anybody toss one of the above relief pitchers in return for Oscar Taveras? He may start the year in the minors, but he can certainly hit.

Originally posted by virgonomic View PostI would toss one or two closers for anything useful. Last year I had 5 closers going at one point. I was cycling in starters and filling the other spots with closers. I was up by 30 saves when I traded 2 closers for a bat. I ended up dropping a closer with 2 or 3 weeks to go (noone could catch me and the team chasing me couldn't get more points) and Soriano in the final week. I needed Ks and wins.

Originally posted by BuckyBuckner View PostI wouldn't carry anyone not in the majors unless there is a specific call up date and it's less than a week away.
Also Uggla is now waived - did anything happen to him that I need to know?
Coco Crisp too?
