Which Player Would You Build Your Team Around?Josh Hamilton Or Ryan Braun?
I pick Braun.
Answer:Ryan Braun, no doubtt about it.
Ryan Braun, Josh Hamilton Or Hunter Pence...?
Who is going to win rookie of the year in the NL? One of these guys? Maybe someone else?
Answer:Ryan Braun
Hamilton has slowed down considerably and he is playing for one of the worst teams in baseball
Hunter Pence is also pretty good but the Astros are playing pathetic baseball right now
Ryan BRaun plays for Milwaukee who are leading these two guys teams in their division
All 3 play for the central division
Whos in first? Ryan Braun's Milwaukee Brewers
Braun is an exception defender at 3rd, got big time power, a good eye at the plate and blistering speed
Hamilton is good when he is healthy..he has slowed down quite a bit due to injuries. He's prone to striking out a lot and aiming for hte long ball all the time...i don't think he is a good hitter againstt left handed pitchers
Pence is a phenomenal hitter with great speed. He's got a nice feel for the balls hit towards him at center feeld
One thing botheres me about Pence...his strikeout to walk ration is very poor...so he puts a lot of balls in plays and hits for average a lot...northing wrong with that but it juss means when pitchers figure him out and if he's impatient at the plate, he's going to get inot quick slumps since he doesn walk that much (you need to get on base through walkin when you're struggling)
His OBP is kinda low too...aabout 30 points higher than his batting average...that is not good at all. His Strikeout to walk ratio is poor and so striking out a lot compared to walking a few will result in frequent prolonged slumps and he might get inot that
Braun looks rock solid and he doesn't have any "ifs" in his game
BRAUN WILL BE THE 2007 NL Rookie of the year

Answer:This has got to be a 6 - 8 team league. How on earth are you able to get Pujols, Howard, Braun, and Longoria?
Well to answer your question, I'd try to offer Howard for Hamilton and keep Braun. Replace Werth with Hamilton, put Morneau on your Util and leave a path of destruction as you wreak havoc in your league, all the way to the championship.
Ryan Braun Or Josh Hamilton?
Who's going to have the better fantasy season?
Well after all of this, I ended up going with Grady Sizemore. Can't go wrong with a guy who had 100+ R, 30+ HR, and 30+ SB.
Answer:As much as I love redemption stories,I gotta go with Braun.
Edit: corretc,you can never go wrong with Sizemore.Love watching that kid play outfeeld anyday.
should I Trade Brad Penny And Jacoby Ellsbury For Josh Beckett?
head to head league. I am loaded in the outfeeld (manram, braun, quentin, francouer, j up ton, corey hart) I am always nervous when penny pitches. should I deal penny and ellsbury for beckett? I already have peavy and like the idea of having two of the top three pitchers dealing for me every week.
Answer:Penney is in a big decline this year with an pretty high ERA and I too get nervous when he pitches so to solve that I dropped him! I would do this trade without hesitation neithere Penny nor Ellsbury are superstars and your getting a top 10 pitcher.
