Yeah Marmol looked as ridiculous as ever. I have him on my fantasy team as well. My team actually has quite a few Cubs. I didn't even do it on purpose. Just when it came time to pick they were available and legit picks.

I have Marmol, Pena, Byrd, Soriano, Zambrano and Soto. Soriano was a garbage pick and Zambrano was a trade for a bench player I didn't need.

Marmol and Castro are really the only Cubs players to be semi-bragging about having in Fantasy. Unless you are in a 14+ player league.

Meh, Aramis is a serviceable 3b option...and Byrd is useful, but probably in (as you said) a 14+ player league. Sori will be a hot commodity for for 2 one-month stretches this season...lulz.

I will give you that Aramis is a decent 3B option, if healthy.

I wasn't bragging about it. By legit picks, I meant in that particular round the players I picked were just about as good as other players available. When I was considering 2 or 3 guys to pick and one of them was a Cub, I usually just ended up picking the Cub.

Also this is my first time playing fantasy baseball, so I'm more interested in learning it than I am trying to win it all.

Umm well Castro really isn't anything to brag about either.

Dempster is good to have. As is Z if it's H2H due to his RP availability. Aramis is good to have. Soto as well.

Castro leading off today!!!!!!! Follow by Barney, Byrd, Ramirez, Pena, Soto, Soriano, Colvin and Garza. I actually like this line-up.

Wow! I didn't see that coming. Didn't Quade say he wouldn't be leading off? Oh well, I'm all for it. :)

Pretty good line-up IMO. If Castro becomes a full-time lead-off hitter, then Colvin will end up with more playing time, as there will be less reason to play Kosuke.

Only thing that I would change is switching Barney and Colvin.

Kosuke will more likely than not be put in as a defensive replacement/ pinch hitter for either Fonzie or Colvin.

Q says that Castro will almost certainly be back in the #2 spot tomorrow.
