Harumph.

 

Sorry. For a team in my position, the upside of Broxton was just more attractive than the framework we were discussing.

I hate that I own Scott Kazmir again. I did not enjoy the experience in BORED last year.

 

I wouldn't worry about it, he probably won't get many starts.

Fitting that Broxton is in Milwaukee because I think his MAX upside is basically 2016 Jonathan Villar, at CF of course instead of SS/2B/3B. Maybe trade 20 steals for a few more XBH.

 

More likely, he'll hit the ball hard, run, but K at a 33% clip and be Melvin Upton Jr. A viable MLB average CF but a frustrating fantasy player.

He'll start the year in their rotation, but his leash will be short.

You don't think he has a high ceiling?

 

No not really but what do I know? I get emphasizing a young player and to be frank, I was surprised by your interest in X.

If he plays a full season next year, I guarantee 50 HR+SB.

I wonder who would make an all-time fantasy pain in the ass team. Jason Hamel is notorious for tricking people into thinking he's better than he is. I'd probably slot him in the rotation along with Kazmir. Jason Heyward and Justin Upton are pretty notorious fantasy teases. Good players but people have frequently overpayed for them because they were supposed to be superstars.

Ugh I dropped Gsellman during my BORED playoff run in a desperate moment and came to regret it. Now that I've reacquired him, he should naturally resume his fringy swingman career trajectory.

I hated owning Francisco Liriano. Even when he was good you never knew when he'd drop 6 walks on you. Also, Alex Cobb because he has the skillset, but seems to always find a way to turn in a near-useless season because of injuries.

Liriano was a heart-breaker especially in his early Twins days when he looked for all the world like he would be Johann Santana 2.0. That's an excellent choice.

So... same as Melvin Upton?

Bryce Harper has been pretty frustrating. Probably could say that about Stanton too, and Puig.

I'm gonna go with "some plug that Dinger owns" and "Giancarlo Stanton"

That plug just cranked more HR than Stanton has ever hit in a season.
