We select Brandon Belt, can someone pm next in line? I'm on the road right now

 

I don't know who's picking for GD at this point, I think either Kingkat or BTS.

[Abomination]

I can say this now, but he's preferable to Stroman due to contextual factors. I probably would have taken Stroman cuz I'm a homer tho.

 

He was the pitcher I was strongly debating instead of Stroman, and the one I almost selected my last pick rather than a bat. In the end, I like Stroman's stuff a little better which is why I took Stroman. As for taking the bat, I didn't like the idea of only having 2 bats heading into rounds 6 and 7 where things would really start thinning out. I also have Manaea on the farm (and Appel, although I know a lot don't like him), and both should be up sooner rather than later. I just couldn't justify taking that 3rd starting pitcher there. I hope I don't regret it.

[Boxcar]

Your other issues don't hold any water for me. He's had 14 wins each of the last two years on a mediocre team, doesn't seem to be a problem. His K and K/BB are both above average with room for growth and he's a great GB pitcher with two plus pitches.

 

Lol k

[Boxcar]

Mark Appel is going to surprise a lot of people. Maybe he'll have a mid 2 ERA with a .230 BABIP and even Dinger will get on his bandwagon.

Good, I look forward to you looking like a fool for selling low on him.

[burlingtonbandit]

So does Gray, who has one of the best curveballs in baseball. He struck out batters at 25% in his first year over 60+ IP. There is more K% in there than what he's shown the last two years, which is still pretty good. Stroman doesn't have an out pitch as good as Gray's hammer, though I love them both and I think they're pretty similar pitchers.

 

Yeah Gray has some upside too but Stroman's K numbers are much superior. I'm not saying Gray is bad or anything but I just think Stroman is the much better fantasy pitcher.

[Boxcar]

Does anyone want to trade up for 94? Looking for a pick around 110 ish + another upgrade either on 134 or a later pick.

Gray has a higher career K rate

So no rape?..lol..I may be your guy.

[burlingtonbandit]

Meant to say in the minors*.

[connorp]

To all: i'm looking to trade down from either 107 or 125

[KingKat]

GD never contacted me, sorry.

I sent you an offer. Not sure if you will see it or not.

[Dr. Dinger]

GD never contacted me, sorry.

 

I guess BTDumn is picking for him then.

[connorp]

Sorry. I meant I want to trade up from 107 or 125 To a pick now or soon. My bad

Both pitchers are ridiculously similar, and I don't think you can go wrong with either. Gray's off-speed pitches are better, but his fastball results aren't great. In particular, he walks more than he K's with the fastball. Stroman's results (while fairly sss), are much more consistent across all the pitches except his changeup, which he doesn't use much. That gives him more ways to get guys out, and I would think should result in better performances in the long run.

[BTS]

GD said one of the children is handling his stuff. King or org.

[Dr. Dinger]

GD is online so if he doesn't pick soon I'm going to re-circumcise him.

[BTS]

Quintana > Stroman > Gray

[Orgfiller]

Sorry boys, I have his pick.

 

GD takes Adrian Beltre.

[Dr. Dinger]

Boxy up

[Dr. Dinger]

Quintana > Stroman > Gray

 

Nah, brah.

[Boxcar]

K I feel a lot better about moving down because I was going to take Beltre. Connor OTC, 94 + 147 for 107 + 125

[Abomination]

I'm surprised people are so high on Beltre, given he's almost 37.

[Boxcar]

3B is kind of barren

[burlingtonbandit]

Quintana > Stroman > Gray

 

I think I'd take Stro first. Both have similar K and walk numbers but Stroman has the much better defense behind him and Win totals.

[connorp]

I know projections say he's done but I'll go Carlos Gomez.

[The Cats Ass]

Quintana > Stroman > Gray

 

You sure like dropping names.

[The Cats Ass]

I know projections say he's done but I'll go Carlos Gomez.

 

Thanks a lot Boxy....

[Boxcar]

It's hard to say because Stroman doesn't really have much of a major league track record and I can't really ignore the fact that Quintana has been quite excellent for three straight seasons.
