Anyone who needs OF help, I may be open to trade Dickerson or Sousa (both have been red hot) for the right SP.

Feel free to send offers. I may want to see how they start off the season before parting but definitely willing to entertain offers if you need OF or utility help.

love how i cant view or change my lineup today. it lets me see tomorrows but not today. no problem in my other yahoo league 

 

really hate yahoo. wont let me view any page that would show my roster for today. i hit the "swap inactive players button" and have no idea what that did.

Yahoo sucks.  We should consider moving next year.  I'd hate to lose the history but damn the site.

about 15 minutes before the rays yanks game started, i was able to see my lineup

 

it seems the swap inactive players button will just give you an automatic lineup of active players so be careful with hitting that as it could cause issues on a day where all your best players are active. Today, it actually gave me the lineup I needed, except for putting nick franklin as my starting second baseman (im only holding onto him to see if a team picks him up off waivers for a meaningful role after a good spring)... 

 

i really dont mind yahoo in general but it seems like there are some weird issues every season.

also, on the topic of supplemental. I was texting a bit with Lambert about this but did anyone feel like this year more than ever, the supplemental was crazy deep? I know we have sometimes had 16 teams in the past but I think there have only been 16 teams once in my history doing this league. I guess with teams like the Yank and Nats not owned....

 

I remember more closers being drafted last year which usually pushes other talent down. that wasnt even the case this time around and I think I could field a sexy team right now

Yes, I noticed that too.  It killed me to leave some of those bats on the board, but my starting pitching was in such shambles after not getting Arrieta that I had to bite the bullet.  :(

Well considering half of my roster either went on the 10-day DL, missed 2-3 games due to the flue or being on bereavement leave...I think I'm happy with a tie...strange first week for the Sox.

.500 would be great at this point.  Jays are grasping by a thread right now. Donaldson calf DL. Howell shoulder. DLSanchez blister DL. Happ waiting to find out his ailment. My fantasy team Graveman on DL, Price still out til May. Where I had depth and a strength at SP suddenly have 4 now not pitching.  And the hitters aren't really doing anything with the Jays at or near the bottom of the league in almost every offensive category.

What scares me most is that I'm .500 and that's with production I feel is greater than or equal to what I can expect all season. Archer has been great. Myers has been great. Guys like Forsythe , Vogt, KK, have all been solid. Souza has been lights out and he won't keep up his pace.

I suppose Goldy and Marte have room for improvement as do Longo and Brad Miller but Miller may just have regressed to the norm

Would be nice to get Smyly off the DL
