[vega51]

In my strat team i have:

Spilbough (4th OF)
Iannetta
Atkins
Fuentes


Thank you Astros for letting my guys have a good night.


Astros on my team? Berkman, PERIOD.

My lineup:

1. Ramirez SS
2. Freddy Sanchez 2b
3. Berkman rf
4. Atkins 3b
5. Connor Jackson 1b
6. Billy Butler/ Lastings Milledge lf
7. Javier Valentin/Iannetta/Miguel Montero c
8. Logan/Adam Jones cf
9. Pitcher


Rotation:

1. Peavy
2. Lowe
3. Kazmir
4. King Felix
5. Lincecum/Garza

Wow, what a rotation

Bullpen?

1. Papelbon
2. Fuentes
3. Heath Bell
4. Justin Speier
5. O'Flaherty
6. Baek

So far my team is 10 and 3.

Next year i will have Adam Jones and Lastings Milledge starting in the OF while i have Carlos Gonzalez at triple a.

In the minors i also have guys like Adenhart, Hellickson and Deolis Guerra.

why you would have any of those first 4 guys is unknown

[hembo36]

actually atkins is a great player , but the other 3?

Remember, strat is like having a real team, you can't have an all star team, especially when you have my rotation meaning, i had to spend a lot of money on pitching on a cap.

Iannetta is a rookie catcher, he is going to be the starter next year.

Spilbough is a great 4th Ofer, last year he hit .297 in almost 300 at bats, this year he is hitting around .300.

Fuentes is a very good lefty reliever, believe me, if he was in Houston he would be closing games, on my strat he is set up men with heath bell.

Atkins, he is a stud, believe me, ASTROS would give both balls to have him playing third for us.

In my experience, the more someone says "believe me", the less you should actually believe them.

If you don't belive Atkins would be an improvement for the Astros as a 3b and Fuentes as a closer for the Astros, then i guess your "experience" has not teach you much.

i would definitely take atkins but i wouldnt put fuentes in the astros bullpen...Thats saying something...Why would we take a guy who has lost his teams closer role like 3 times now?
