It's 5x5 but with OPS and ER as extra categories. I personally like Felix over Carp, but Phillips over Kendrick for sure.

I think the difference between Felix and Carp is greater than the difference between Phillips and Kendrick.
Despite Phillips' low OBP, Kendrick isn't exactly a stud either.
Is it a keeper league? Because Felix is a stud while Carpenter in any format will be an injury waiting to happen annually.

No, just a one year league. Thanks for the advice guys. I'm going to try and put Josh Johnson in the deal instead.

Austin Jackson has homers today and last night in his first two games in a major league ballpark (Miller Park), both off major league pitchers (Doug Davis and Dave Bush).
I find this promising given that everyone says he doesn't have enough power to ever compare to Granderson.

be careful throwing around the term "major league pitcher" when talking about Doug Davis and Dave Bush...

Jackson has enough power for stand up doubles and triples. Balls can happen to travel over the fence for a home run. He is strong enough to hit deep into opposite field. Jackson is much stronger than Granderson in that age. All he needs to hit for many home runs is pulling hard as Granderson has done.

7 years for $38.5 mil if the Blue Jays use all 3 team options years for Adam Lind?? Not sure why he would agree to a deal for that amount, but hell of a good sign for the Blue Jays. Bargain.

now you control 3 more years if the team wants for $22.5 mil. If he's still the hitter he is now, unreal bargain. If he's not, 2 mil buyout and you cut your losses. I'm just blown away with how nice of a deal this is for the Jays when a guy like Markakis got $60mil+.

I'm not getting burned by Bochy and Sabean again and picking them to make the playoffs, especially after the bumfuck decision to re-sign Assclown McFatass and sending Posey to AAA to start the season.

The thing about the Wieters method is that Posey has already been up, and the Giants are legitimately capable of winning the division. It's a stupid ******* move unlike the Wieters move.

Molina is capable of holding down the fort for a while longer. It's not really as big of a deal as you guys are making it out to be.

The problem is HE DOESNT NEED TO (not that he could anyway). Posey is ready right now, and he is better than Molina right now. San Francisco is not exactly Tampa Bay or Florida, where they have to worry about an arbitration clock. This movie is flat out ******* stupid, and it's going to cost them a win or two because of their stupid ******* GM and coach.
