Be sure to see the Reports page also, as it can help you Rank players, scout Free agents, etc. Even though we Rank and post the Free agents for you every couple of weeks, keep a list of Free agents too. Remember, a good free agent that is hurt and has missed a few weeks will not be near the top of the list, so keep an eye on them. We will post a list, occassionally, of them. If using our Line-up page, be sure to fill out the heading, Team name, league, etc.
ANY player is better than no player.
Guys like Mcgwire, Frank Thomas, etc are much better producers than the Mark Grace's. Kenny Lofton is one. I would take Greg Maddux's points from pitching only once this week over Bobby witt pitching twice this week. You want the main stopper from each team. The way I see it, I can usually replace the decent players with Free agents, but I normally can't get a great player in the Free agent pool.
