How important was it to get a win in week one? Not import this season, in this league. No team has more than a one game lead and only 2 out of the 10 teams are not 1-1.
Standings:
Best Acquisitions of the week:
Team Shockers with Kyle Lohse. In 2 starts for the week Lohse netted 22 and 25.5 points. Team Real with Mark Buehrle. Team Real acquired him after his 28.5 performance, but that shouldn’t be the last of them. Lohse and Buehle are those typical “un-sexy” players. No-one wants to draft them but they always end up on a team and performing well. If their names were Bob and Jim respectfully, them they would probably get picked up in the later rounds of a draft.
Honorable mention goes to Team Snuke’s with Lance Lynn who netted 26 points. Since he was a reliever last year, Lynn is eligible for both the SP and RP slots on your roster.
For the season, the team with the most acquisitions is Snuke’s with 14. There are still two teams that have yet to make an acquisition: Texas I’m Stuck In, and Niese’s Nose. The schnozzle is 2-0, so who could blame him.
Get those rosters set:
We are at a point in the season where the Adam LaRoche’s have fallen back down to earth and maybe someone like Rafael Furcal is finally healthy and productive again. This is the time of the year where that small sample size is big enough to make a real educated decision as opposed to making a bet. If you don’t take a chance on that particular player you’ve been eyeing that is having a great April, you might miss them for the whole season. Get now while the getting is good. Stars are now getting hurt which means those fringe players are going to be gobbled up.

I’m going to have to start making a move the way Wainright and Latos are punching me in the nether region.

One other thing I forgot to mention, is the rain delays had no real impact to teams. The closest game was within 40 points on Sunday. Nothing worse then just needing 5 more points and 3 guys on your roster are in a ppd game.

I may have been able to catch up on Sunday had Lincecum and Gio pitched and done well. Although it would have been a longshot, last time I checked I was down about 40, and SPs generate a ton of points in this league.

I would like to think I had a chance too. I had one I think maybe two guys pitching and a few hitters down by around 35-40.

To get those points, then your guys would need to perform at a very high level. Tough odds with that many points out but very doable.

Don’t know if you could tell, but I’ve been looking to wheel and deal if you’d like to see if something could work out.

surely. I haven’t had time to really sitdown and figure out what I need yet though, and small sample sizes skew some of that stuff. Like having Tim Lincecum right now could make you think you need pitching, when you really don’t.

I want the Mets to win 1-0 vs Lincecum and strike out for 26 outs and win on a walkoff home run with two out.

I check my roster every day and I have no real motivation to make a move. I’m just that amazing at drafting I guess.

There I made a move, dropping the .073-hitting Ryan Rayburn for the scorching (.370) Nolan Reimold. Early nomination for acquisition of the week.
