We should have a reference for the best cheap players in 2008! I think David Wright is cheap (not sure yet) and he's got avg fielding and B con A pwr. Anybody else? |

Torii Hunter. He climbed a 10 ft centerfield wall all the way to the top, STOOD ON TOP OF THE WALL, then leapt 10 ft off the top of the wall to catch an easy 420+ feet homer from me. Oh! You mean inexpensive... |

LOL @ Kilmar - Yeah, I think Chone Figgins nearly did the same thing to me, but it was just slightly out of his reach! As far as best cheap season mode players go, I've got a whole list I've guys! Starting Pitcher: *Tim Wakefield - 4000 points (The price is a bargain for what you get in return. I'm routinely getting 15+ Ks per game and have an ERA around 1.50. Probably the best pitcher on my entire staff.) *John Maine - 390 (?) points (C control, A stamina, good variety of pitches with movement) *(tie) Tom Gorzelanny/Rich Hill - 390 (?) points - Both are fairly similar, young lefty starters with C control and A stamina. Both have good movement on their pitches and can be had for cheap. Relief Pitcher: *Pat Neshek - 390 (?) points (A very good sidearm, relief pitcher with good movement and multiple pitches) *George Sherrill - 390 (?) points (An excellent situational lefty or closer with a lot of good attributes and pitches) *Saul Rivera - 390 (?) points (Another relief guy with a variety of pitches and good movement.) *Cla Meredith - 390 (?) points (A solid, righty setup man that won't cost a lot.) Infielder: *Dustin Pedroia - 390 (?) points (A very good contact hitting 2B) *Conor Jackson 390 (?) points (1B, A good all around player with decent power who doesn't cost a lot.) *Ryan Garko 390 (?) points (1B, not as good as Jackson IMO, but can be picked up for virtually nothing and has decent power.) *Brendan Harris 390 (?) points (A good hitting, decent backup option who can play multiple IF positions) *Brian McCann 390 (?) points (An excellent, young catcher with all-around good abilities.) Outfielder: *Ryan Church 390 (?) points (Good hitting with some power, multiple positions in OF) *Ryan Braun 390(?) points (Might be expensive in trying to obtain through a trade, but worth the price. Sub-average defensively, but his bat more than makes up for it.) *Corey Hart 390 (?) points (Another good, young outfielder who can play multiple positions. Hits well for contact but has some power too.) *Ryan Sweeney 390 (?) points (You can pick him up for virtually nothing. Not a great hitter or defensive player, but can play all the OF positions. A good player to have on your bench in case of an injury.) |

Thanks SPE777. I just made an arrange team with a salary of 18895! LOL |

Oh, thought you were doing a fantasy draft! In that case... I'd add Francisco Liriano, Chien-Ming Wang, Prince Fielder, Hunter Pence, Taylor Buchholz, and Huston Street (who's better than Papelbon- sorry!) to that list. I'm not sure that any of them make more than 1000 points per season. Apologies if I'm wrong! Anyone know of a good 3B or SS making less than 1000 points per season? I can't think of any... |

I think Ryan Zimmerman is 400 or something. D con B pwr and pretty good fielding Hanley Ramirez 420 or something - 12 con A pwr 12 spd E arm C fld C e res. But you can only get him in arrange mode. Also Chien Ming is a bit expensive - 4000 I believe, better check to be sure. |

Yeah but he's consistently in the top 3 for Cy Young every year and has very good stuff. The only problem will be resigning him when his contracts up. |

Try to remember the age of players. Sure Wakefield can get a ton of K's, but thats only in year one. After you'll have to convert him to a reliever, and by year 3 you've traded him. Wang>Wakefield, I usually pick up Zimmerman as 3B. As a general rule of thumb, check the low payroll teams (Tamba, Marlins, KC) for some cheap, OK talent, maybe a good one if you're lucky. Oh yeah, it's not cheap but pick up Ichiro. Last year when he went to 35+ not a single stat dropped. Not sure about 08. Good thing they put in his calisthenics in 07. |

yeah. you're a 40+ starter, after a year, welcome to the bullpen. 3-4, welcome to AAA. Different for some pitchers-rivera had a good career mostly cuz of his abilities. you got someone like wakefield....eh. |

Here are a couple more names... H. Ramirez- 390 (he has great power, contact, and run speed) (but not as good in fielding) Felix Hernandez- 390 (he is a dominate pitcher, C and A) Andre Ethier- 400 (he has C con, B pwr, and B run spd, and is a good fielder) |

In addition to what's already been said... B.J. Upton, 24 yr old CF, cheap, hits 30-40 HR's in season mode for me. |
