Will Harris is also available (Astros closer). 0.74 ERA, 1.70 FIP, 2.88 xFIP. I'd be looking for a similar return to Wade Davis though if I decide to move him, maybe with me throwing in a pick or holds guy like Tazawa.

 

He'll just get traded... :P

Anybody want to auction a reliable SP2 or 3?

 

Committing to sell an asset at a specific time regardless of the return has always seemed like a bad idea to me.

It seems to generate a lot more offers than the vague "so and so is available" though. Most of the auction returns have been fair.

 

But if someone wants to trade me an SP2 not via auction, that's cool too.

Abom is clearly the worst at generating interest.

 

"I'd be looking for a similar return to Wade Davis though if I decide to move him."

 

Based on his wording, even if he gets a Wade Davis-like return for a guy with 12 career saves, he might not decide to move him.

If that's your main trading strategy, you suck at trading. Assess teams who need what you have and contact them directly.

It's a lot of work to figure out what teams need, and what they are willing to give up, and the offers only work if:

 

1) The other team is willing to give up the asset you covet.

2) The other team is interested in the player you are willing to give up. (even if they have a hole in their lineup, they might not like the player you are offering).

3) Both teams agree on the value of both sides of the assets being traded.

 

The auction method actually works pretty well. You immediately get a sense of who is interested in your asset, and the market value is quickly established by other bidders giving all participants a comfort level that they are not being ripped off.

 

The downside with the auction method is that while it's great for collecting generic assets (picks, p[rospects) it isn't that helpful for targeting players that you need.

The auction method seems to work really well in LOD, but I'm not sure it's as well suited to the other leagues unless you are talking about a true star player.

I asked for a near ready SP prospect for Wade Davis and got 3 offers in the same day. I also had a couple feelers, and a couple people looking to make a bigger deal. Obviously with Davis going on the DL it ruined everything, but I was in line to get exactly what I wanted for him until he got hurt.

I haven't seen an auction that hasn't worked out for the seller to be honest.

I'm pretty sure 18 other managers read it the way it was intended.

 

If I get a prospect similar to what was suggested for Davis (maybe with me throwing in something), I WILL move him. If I don't, I'm happy to hold onto him for next year (and as of right now should have the space to do so).

 

Over the last 2 years, Harris has a 1.5 ERA, 2.99 FIP, 3.17 xFIP. Wade Davis has a 1.02 ERA, 2.41 FIP, 3.37 xFIP.

How many HR does Danny Espinosa have though?

 

I think I saw 18 somewhere. Looks like he edited his post and I cant see it now.

So with Kershaw, Cain, Richards, Wade Davis and now soon Carpenter on the DL.

 

I'm willing to listen on Edwin. A bunch of you have inquired on him which i shot down right away....would be looking at a trade where i win and you lose (jk). Feel free to send offers. Be aggressive with offers and not "what do you want for him" kinda thing. Would want a 1B back with other pieces that can help me in 2017.

You're never going to let that go, are you? Lol

 

I deserve it tbh. You reap what you sow, and I sow a lot of ********.

The HR derby is so stupid. I hope Corey Seager gets eliminated in the 1st round so he doesn't hurt himself or f*** up his swing for a month.

Might be interested in packaging Tim Anderson up with a pick/prospect(s) for either a high end starter or a big 1B bat.

Might be interested in trading Alcides Escobar and a pick for a Jon Lester or Freddie Freeman type.
