Wow, so far in spring training Keith Foulke has a 0.00 ERA  :shocked:

*knocks on wood*

Hope he keeps this up when it actually counts  :wink:

If not you've got him handcuffed to Timlin so your bases are covered, it's a smart move.

:yesnod:

Thanks!  I'd really like to see Timlin stay in mostly a set up role for the sox though - the whole "closer by committee" thing that they went through without Foulke :noway:  I hated it. 

I'd trying to figure out exactly what I need to make my team more solid.  ANyone want to give me any recommendations?  I guess I should pick up a backup catcher...or maybe try to trade for another power hitter?

I would suggest getting another starting pitcher in your lineup, maybe a young prospect with a lot of upside. You have Tim Wakefield and he's good but old, I'd hedge against him getting hurt. Keep watching the wires because some real steals are going to emerge.

Trading for some more power hitting is a good idea if you can swing it. I think your catcher will pan out so i'd sit tight and not lose the roster space on a second catcher, there's always the waiver wire if he doesn't pan out. I took McCann as a sleeper prospect at catcher because I think he has great potential. I hate, repeat hate, the Braves but I felt he was too good to pass up and I have concerns with A.J. Pierzynski. Baseball is funny though, Willingham was supposed to be a great sleeper pick up and now they're saying he will platoon with Olivo and still get some outfield time because he can hit. Who knows how that will work out?

Eh, Wakefield will never get hurt. He can even pitch in between starts becaus ehe's a knuckle baller and has a rubber arm. You're probably right about saving the roster room instead of picking up another catcher, and everyone is saying my catcher should be a great rookie. I'll keep my eyes peeled for another good pitcher though, and maybe someone will trade me a good power hitter for 1 or 2 of my great prospects.

I have a few questions  :confused:

What exactly is the utility player spot in our lineup?  Can we play ANY position player there?

How often do we change our lineups?  Every day?  At what point can they not be changed anymore?

Any of your extra hitters beyond your starting 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF, OF, OC, and C can be your utility player.

You can change your lineup every day. D

If you don't change your lineup every day you may miss out on possible stats by having someone on the bench that's playing and someone in the lineup that is not.

Is everyone ready for Baseball!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbup:

I need a relief pitcher!!!!!!
