Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Arenado is a stud. I love his glove, but he's no fantasy stud.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I love his glove, but he's no fantasy stud. He's still very young and any hitter who plays in Coors Field I'll take in fantasy baseball any day.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Did Wily Mo Pena just go away? I don't think Japan stats count in our league...
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 How the f*** does Johnny Cueto have 100% LOB and a .150 BABIP thru 55 IP? Lucky motherf***er. I'd be selling high on that if at all possible.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 He's still very young and any hitter who plays in Coors Field I'll take in fantasy baseball any day. Blackmon 4 Freeman?
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Does that mean all 8 ER against Cueto have come via HRs? That's pretty nuts.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Blackmon 4 Longoria? Remember when you offered him for Morrow and I rejected it without even thinking? Yea
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Remember when you offered him for Morrow and I rejected it without even thinking? Yea Lol yeah I thought Morrow had one last hurrah left in the tank.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 His DIPS and PD stats are outstanding though. I'm keeping him. I'm not selling at all costs, but if someone wants to buy him as an ace I'd be signing off. He should regress towards an ERA around 3 and ~7.5 K/9. A solid SP2, but not a first round talent.
Sammy225 Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Remember when you offered him for Morrow and I rejected it without even thinking? Yea I bet you feel like a bag of s*** now don't ya lol.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I'm not selling at all costs, but if someone wants to buy him as an ace I'd be signing off. He should regress towards an ERA around 3 and ~7.5 K/9. A solid SP2, but not a first round talent. At that rate Cueto is still a 3+ K/BB guy with a great OBPA. Plus he's supposed to be one of the best at holding runners, which is responsible for some of the historic ERA/FIP split. And he pitches for a good offense. It's nice to see our Price/Choo swap has been win-win so far! I've stomached the OBP and runs lost from Choo (8-1-1 in those categories) and have appreciated Price's mastery of the strike zone (high ERA be damned).
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Choo-Price was a fair swap, but Freddie Freeman was probably an overpay on my part. I reasoned that Papi would replace his production, as I already had Davis at 1B, but FF looks damn good.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I heard that he'd never been willing to cut down his swing with 2 strikes before this year and now that he has the results have been immediate, at a higher level even. He's more of a gamble than most prospects for sure, but I'm a power whore so here we are. I don't love Arenado either, was just yanking your chain since he must have gone off the day after you posted that, heh. Arenado's been pretty good this year at least. SSS but he's been plenty relevant for me in the PL.
Nox Verified Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Cutting down his 2-strike approach and still K'ing at 25+% in Hi A doesn't bode well. Completely writing off a hitter whose 100% better than average at a level appropriate age is not really good policy, even with the Ks. He obviously has a high bust rate but he's a legitimate fantasy prospect.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Meh, I'd still trade Fransucko for him, even though I don't believe he'll make it work in the end. I just wouldn't take him as the centrepiece in a deal for a mid-prime star. Obviously, the list of prospects with 50 HR upside is quite short.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 *checks Tigres Mostaza roster* Just as I suspected.
Nox Verified Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 *checks Tigres Mostaza roster* Just as I suspected. Do I like Gallo because I have him? Or do have Gallo because I like him? That said, I agree that he's not a centerpiece in a big deal at this point.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Sorry to disparage your boyfriend Boxy, I was pretty harsh. Joey Gallo suxxxx
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Either way, there's no way you'll make room to keep him, so you're better off talking him up and trading him.
Nox Verified Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Either way, there's no way you'll make room to keep him, so you're better off talking him up and trading him. At least a 50% chance he gets moved. But if he goes to AA and does what Sano did there last year, there's at least a possibility that I'd squeeze him into my last spot.

The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 Wieters going to see Dr. Evil I mean Andrews about elbow soreness. UCL tear possible... f***ing ********!
Laika Community Moderator Posted May 6, 2014 Author Posted May 6, 2014 Say what you want about Gibbers' trade evaluations, but he traded Harvey right before his elbow asploded, and now this... Hmm
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Anyone have a catcher they'd be willing to deal?
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Mauer for a great return. Send me an email or PM?
TRM Verified Member Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Casual and unplanned update for those of you not in MPL: I once again have defeated North, and have yet to lose to him across MPL or the DDL over the past two years. Carry on as you were.
TRM Verified Member Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Also, have taken over first place in the MPL. Hoping I can keep this hot start up and land myself in the PL.
KingKat Old-Timey Member Posted May 7, 2014 Posted May 7, 2014 Anyone have a catcher they'd be willing to deal? Castro is still available.
