Key Players Out Thursday

[waiverwire]

Some key players who are out of lineups for Thursday's games so far:
Hanley Ramirez
Brian McCann
Josh Willingham
Joey Votto

With that in mind, I've already done some tinkering with my lineups for Fanduel daily fantasy contests.  I actually usually play more heavily on days where a lot of stars have the day off, on the assumption that some of my opponents will screw up.  If you're going to try out Fanduel for the first time, use the links in this post so that TIS is credited with the referral.  Basically, the way it works is:
-Register
-Deposit via Paypal or credit card
-Sign up for as many contests as you want ranging from $5 to $100 per contest
-Pick lineups within a 'salary cap'
-Win (or lose) based on how your players do today
-Withdraw by Paypal or check.

Here's my tentative lineup today:

P: Sabathia
C: Mauer
1b: Youkilis
2b: Cano
3b: Arod
SS: Andrus
LF: Braun
CF: Granderson
RF: Bruce

I would have preferred Johnson at pitcher (at least prior to the announcement that Hanley isn't playing), but I would have had a really weak lineup.

Thanks for posting the who is out info

Wow, totally opposite lineups for us today, I went with:

P   Josh Johnson      Marlins
C   John Buck          Blue Jays
1B  Mark Teixeira     Yankees
2B  Orlando Hudson  Twins
3B  Pablo Sandoval   Giants
SS Orlando Cabrera   Reds
LF  Juan Rivera         Angels
CF Adam Jones         Orioles
RF Ichiro Suzuki        Mariners

I usually make my lineups based on career numbers so I can see why we differ here. Good luck today.

Early 11-0 lead for oscarxena, but I'm not worried yet.

My favorite movies, the Dead trilogy!

Ended up 6-1 in contests ranging from $5 to $25, for a net profit of $54.  I beat Oscarxena by 10 points in both of our contests (a $5 and a $10) thanks to Arod's 12 point performance.

Very nice comeback WW, I went to bed early last night with about a 10 point lead and my guys did nothing while yours charged back, good job.

Thanks!  That was definitely a pleasant surprise when I woke up this morning.
