So, I've never played fantasy baseball before and honestly haven't watched much of it in the last 10 or so years. I'd kind of just like to get an idea of how I fared in the draft. I did research and followed a certain draft method that I thought would work best and I'd like some opinions on how I fared in the draft. I drafted at # 6 by the way...doubt that makes any difference but anyway...

I've got:

C - Geovany Soto

1B - Prince Fielder

2B - Robinson Cano

3B - Pablo Sandoval

SS - Alexei Ramirez

OF - Nick Markakis

OF - Josh Hamilton

OF - Raul Ibanez

Magglio Ordonez as my DH

Bench:

Garrett Jones

Rickie Weeks

Ryan Theirot

Mark DeRosa

Marlon Byrd

Chris Iannetta

Seth Smith

SP - Adam Wainwright

SP - Josh Johnson

SP - James Shields

SP - Ryan Dempster

RP - Heath Bell

RP - Brian Wilson

Bench Pitcher:

Justin Masterson

I think I did pretty well but I'd like some outside 'professional' opinions.

Thanks!

Let me preface this by saying I don't watch or care a lick about Baseball. I was asked to join a fantasy league because they needed a few extra players and I play NFL and NBA fantasy with the same people. So of course I joined knowing absolutely nothing. Now, I've been offered a trade and would like to know whether this is a good deal or not since I have no Baseball knowledge.

I'd be trading Prince Fielder, Alexei Ramirez, and Adam Wainwright to get Justin Morneau, Hanley Ramirez and Ben Sheets.

I'd appreciate any input that could be given as to why or why not accept the trade. Thanks in advance!

I've been offered Jose Caulderon, Amare Stoudemire and Samuel Dalembert for Dirk Nowitzki. Dirk's my number 1 draft pick and I'm hesitant to trade him because he puts up a ton of points but I'm lacking some depth on Assists and blocks...and FG%.

What do y'all think? Would this be a good trade?

Thanks in advance!

Oh and not that this matters, but we are playing in a free league on the ESPN website.

When the trade offer came to me I just figured it was standard procedure for team owners to trade players with each other on bye weeks...had I known a big hullabaloo would have been thrown I never would have considered the trade.

I bought a Canon EOS 7E 35mm film camera and I know it has a light meter in the viewfinder, but it is not showing up. I dont know anything about cameras and need help with it. I want to be able to adjust the shutter speed and F-stop by looking through the viewfinder, NOT by looking at the LCD screen on the top of the camera. Is there a way to set the viewfinder to show the settings? I would appreciate ANY help that can be given. Thanks in advance!

My daughter has just picked up a well it looks to be dead mouse that my cats attacked. She got a little blood on her hands, but as soon as I saw what she was doing I made her drop it and I washed her hands....I know that mice can carry all kinds of diseases, but I dont know what I should do. Should I be worried? I asked her if she stuck her hands in her mouth, and she said no. I asked her if she "kissed" the mouse and she said no again. Shes 3 and it kind of worries me. I would like some help in this matter. Thanks.

I just had twin boys a week and a half ago. Their eye color is a dark brownish color. I have heard that if a baby is born with brown eyes the color will not change. I was just wondering if this is true or not....I havent found any evidence online contradicting OR confirming this myth, so I would appreciate any help! Thanks so much!

Okay....Im a little confused by the last line in the book about the ring staying on her hand "conceivably" for eternity and just wondered how everyone interpreted it. Stephenie Meyer is getting me worried....lol!

My mother is a first year pre school teacher who has a little boy who does not speak english at all. He speaks spanish, but absolutely NO english whatsoever. Hes getting very frustrated in class because he doesnt understand anything thats going on around him. I suggested she find some sort of dvds and workbooks to send home with this boy to help him out. Can anyone suggest a dvd system or book system to help a 4 year old learn to speak english that doesnt cost much money? Thanks!

Does anyone have a clue when the last books in the Eragon and Inkheart trilogies are set to be released?

Okay...I have the worst heartburn ever. Im 35 weeks pregnant and for some reason right now it will NOT go away. I have been drinking milk and taking tums for the last hour or so.....but its still here....Is there anything else I can do...its killing me!!! Please I cant take it, Im ready to rip out my throat! Thanks!

I am looking for a really good operating system for a 2002 I book. This is my first mac and I don't know much about them. I need to upgrade the system (right now I am running Mac OS 9.2) and it is too old to run the internet properly. I don't want a super expensive program, but something that will upgrade and let me run flash programs and newer versions of browsers. Thanks in advance!!!

Basically the knock sensor has broken causing the check engine light to stay on while the car is driving. My question is how detremental to the car is this if it doesnt get replaced right away. What are the benefits of fixing it, and could it do damage to drive it like it is without getting it fixed. Thanks in advance!

I am looking to purchase a tahoe in the next couple of months. I have been exclusively looking at 4X4s within the 2002 to 2005 range(basically under $20,000), but I had a car salesman tell me that the 2WD tahoes come standard with traction control. Is this true? I live in an area that gets ice and snow quite a bit in the winter and I need something to get my kids to and from school, so either traction control or 4X4 is really important. I would appreciate some help clearing up this matter. Thanks in advance!!!

Oh, and how can I tell if a 2WD has trac. control? Thanks!!

I am currently pregnant with twins and have an older daughter at home. My husband and I HAVE to get a different vehicle(right now I have a 96 maxima). I think minivans are ugly and I will NOT consider one. We would prefer something with at least 7 passengers that can fit 3 car seats comfortably. We do not want to spend over around $16,000. We have looked at Ford Explorers and Expeditions, Honda Pilot, and Chrysler Pacifica(even though it has 6 seats). I just want your input just to see what you guys would recommend...Thanks so much!

My husband and I really love the name Cameron or Camron(haven't decided which way to spell it yet), but we are stuck on a second name. I can't think of anything else that I really love and I am getting stuck! I hate rhyming names, but am not opposed to both of the names starting with C. We are using the grandfathers first names as middle names so one will be Cameron David, and the other one _______ Michael. Can anyone help me please?!?!?!?!?!?!? Im desperate. Ive looked through a gazillion names and haven't come up with anything yet! Thanks so much!

Tivo recorded cold case, but cut off towards the end. I want to know who ended up murdering the mom that was living in her car with her daughters. I need details! Thanks so much in advance!!!!

I am stuck and it is ticking me off. I just got turned into the wolf and am now with that alien girl(or whatever she is). I am trying to get out of the dungeon and I know that I need to go underwater through this hole to get out. I can't figure out how to do this though. I can't get underwater and if I swim around there long enough those black things kill me! I need help! PLEASE it is driving me crazy!!! Thanks in advance!

I just found out I am having twins and I was wondering if I need to be taking more folic acid besides what is in my prenatal vitamin....I fully intend on calling my doc. tomorrow, but I just wanted to know what you guys' experiences are in it. Did your doctor up your dosage of folic acid when you were pregnant with twins? Thanks to all of you in advance!

Oh my goodness! I am so excited that The Departed just won best picture at the Oscars! I have seen 3 of the five movies nominated, including Little Miss Sunshine(which I own) and Babel, but I was really rooting for The Departed to take it! I thought that Babel had it in the bag, but boy was I wrong? Anyone glad that it won?
