Studs and duds.

Who are some players that don't have the greatest attributes but you just seem to perform well with them. For me Its Jason Marquis, I always get 6-7 strong out of him and Ryan Doumit, very nice hitter for me. A guy whos a huge dud for me is Liriano has been ever since 09 the show ( always has an era over 5.00 )... Also Danny Valencia, in my franchise last year he hit .201 and this year through some exhibition games I think I only have 1 hit with him.

Re: Studs and duds.

So far Miguel Cairo on the Reds. I only use him as a pinch hitter/reserve infielder, but he already has 3 game winning hits in two weeks of my franchise (2 HR and an RBI double). As far as under performing goes I would have to give that crown to Ryan Madson. I think I have blown 3 saves with him already, and they weren't just 1 run leads.

Re: Studs and duds.

I'm playing a ton of exhibition games until the opening day rosters are released. Played with/against Min. a total of 3 games and Josh Willingham has absolutely been on fire. He's hit 4 home runs in 3 games.

On the flip side, Justin Morneau is 0-for three games. He's even gotten injured during a game.

Re: Studs and duds.

In a few exhibition games I've done really good with Tyler Pastornicky. He has the highest batting average on my team. A dud for me has been Tommy Hanson. Granted I've only used him twice, he got knocked around pretty good in both of those starts.

Re: Studs and duds.

For some reason I have always had incredible success with Chase Headley. I can not explain it but I always seem to make good contact, and he often leads my time in home runs despite lack of true power.

Sadly, I can not hit anything with Miguel Cabrera. It has gotten to the point where I refuse to play as the Tigers as I feel I am doing a disservice to the man.

Ryan flipping Sweeney for the red sox. Came in to pinch hit and won the game for me. Next game he gets the start in RF. went 3-4 w/ a HR and 4 RBIs. Thru 4 games now... He is my leader in BA, RBIs and 2 nd in HRs.

Can't seem to get pedroia on track. Now batting .114 w/ 1HR n 5 RBIs. Painful.

Re: Studs and duds.

Placido Polanco does pretty well for me despite his rating not being spectacular, Victorino is Kinda struggling for me.
