As a thought, is Ortiz, Weathers and Grove for Hendriks a lopsided trade in a 20 teamer?

 

Weathers and Grove are basically waiver fodder. I'd take the Hendriks side, but I could see liking Ortiz enough to prefer him.

With upside as SP for a rebuilding club, Ortiz might really hurt for a 35 year old reliever. It just reminds me that c-poop is a dingleberry to be honest.

When the clock strikes midnight I’ll take that deal I was just sent. If the others don’t pan out

 

Well that was a lie

[connorp]

Well that was a lie

 

I sent you a note on the trade denial lol. I never really read up on the guy until yesterday. I was intrigued when I first saw it for sure.

[Laika]

Uh huh

[Stangstag]

Well that was a lie

 

Connor is never wrong, he’s an honest guy. You just misinterpreted

[connorp]

Well didn’t foresee future AS Riley Greene getting hurt, so pulled all offers.

Admittedly I wasn’t doing well anyway

Loll

Welched, lol.

[Daniel Labude]

Yes, I'm asking if it's lopsided. I think it's close, all guys with upside for a rebuilding team.

 

Neither side has a big advantage, so its pretty even

[connorp]

Spanky, can you search your house and try to find a Xanax. You’re going to need it later, I promise

[Carlos Danger]

If I'm trading Seager I think I'd still want a better centrepiece. Moreno and ASS can complete the package. Cappe and the picks are worthless

 

I have an offer of ASS for Cobb or a 1st from the 2nd place team in an 18 team league... Doing a rebuild.. Same league as my previous post.

 

Get some ASS and ask for a 3rd in addition?

 

What say y'all?

Ranked Atlanta Braves #1 prospect in 2023

BA Grade/Risk: 55/Extreme

 

Track Record: Smith-Shawver was a quick-twitch, multi-sport athlete in high school who was a college prospect as a hitter and pitcher, but the Braves loved his arm enough to sign him for just under $1 million in the seventh round in 2021. Smith-Shawver spent 2022 with Low-A Augusta, where he showed perhaps the highest upside in Atlanta's farm system.

 

Scouting Report: Smith-Shawver is a powerful and athletic righthander who has shown legitimate frontline starter stuff, according to scouts both inside and outside the organization. It all starts with his four-seam fastball, a beast of a pitch that averaged nearly 95 mph and peaked at 98. It has excellent life, with 20 inches of induced vertical break and both cutting and running action at times. He's still developing his command of the pitch, but when he's hitting the zone, it can be overpowering. Similarly, Smith-Shawver's slider has the potential to be a wipeout offering. It's an upper-80s pitch with short and hard biting action that disappears at the bottom of the strike zone when it's on. Smith-Shawver throws a changeup in the same velocity range that remains a work in progress. The pitch flashes solid fading life, but he has below-average feel for it presently. Smith-Shawver has reduced the violence of his delivery since high school, but there are still needed refinements. His arm speed is electric, but it's such that he's not often synced up, and he also features plenty of cross-fire action and a heavy fall-off to the first base side--all of which will limit his control and command.

 

The Future: The Braves will likely take the Spencer Strider approach with Smith-Shawver, prioritizing fastball command and slider consistency. If his command doesn't improve, his stuff could play in a big league bullpen.

 

Scouting Grades: Fastball: 70 Slider: 70 Changeup: 45 Control: 50

AJ Smith-Shawver - P- Braves

[connorp]

I’m thinking of offering a 1st for DeGrom. Is he worth that in 20-teamer? I’m not sure

[Jimcanuck]

Yes, best pitcher in baseball vs. a lottery ticket..... I would make that offer

And I'd say f***off.

Well in fairness, I was talking about maybe a Top 3 pick. Little better than a lottery pick on getting a cornerstone piece.

 

And it’s “best pitcher in baseball when he pitches” … you know, which isn’t that often. It’s almost like a really good RP closer in terms of numbers he’ll give

What's the highest pick Luis Gill- Yankees SP is worth in a 18 team H2H Dynasty league... Is a 2nd too much, or about right?

 

Thanks

why would he be worth f***ing anything?

A 6th

 

I drafted and cut him like three years ago

[Carlos Danger]

why would he be worth f***ing anything?

 

Because he is still very young and will be a Yankee SP when he gets off the IL, with a high K rate who I can stash on my IL until that time. He makes sense for a rebuild which is what I am doing... Just trying to assess his true value..

[Terminator]

I'd try and grab Nolan Jones if you still can. Dude can mash and he's stealing too.

 

He's not going to be a .300 hitter with that K rate but Coors is going to pump his AVG a fair bit anyway.
