    Man, I'd love to add Diekman, but I have no idea how I'd protect him.
  2. Abomination
    I didn't see it mentioned here, but teams can trade all of their new international bonus allotments, and can add up to 75% of their initial capacity via trade.
  3. Abomination
    How crazy is it that the combination of the three of them have only put up 1.6 WAR? (Drabek and Wallace are -1.8)
  4. Abomination
    Doc retired because of a medical issue unrelated to baseball.
  5. Abomination
    That's just silly. If you aren't penalizing them the 1st rounder, then don't penalize them at all.

    He's 5'8 or 5'9, but even if it's not sustainable as he ages, he's only 25. We control him for another 4 full years. The height probably doesn't catch up with him until his early 30's, IF it does then. Flash Gordon was 30 when he moved to the pen, and he was much more of a string bean. He's probably the closest comparable. Even then, he was an all-star closer. Keeping him going forward doesn't mean retiring as a Jay.

    If they do that, we should try really hard to nab AJ Reed. On a further note, does ANYONE in any of our fantasy leagues even have a batting lineup THAT good?
  9. Abomination
    Stroman does NOT project as a career reliever. In fact, he projects at 3.2 WAR next year and a 3.68 era/fip. That would put him roughly in the top 30 amongst starters for WAR and top 40 for FIP based on this year's numbers, and that WAR number is probably low as he'll likely exceed the projected innings.
  10. Abomination
    I wouldn't trade either, unless we were ripping the other team off.
  11. Abomination
    Which is obviously why Rickey Henderson played most of his games in CF ... oh, wait.
  12. Abomination
    Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. If it doesn't happen, the 2nd rounder won't kill me. Seemed like a good risk to take.
  13. Abomination
    I made room.
  14. Abomination
    I'll do the 2nd round entry.
  15. Abomination
    I agree with giving one up for Fowler, but we've had some pretty good picks in the late 1st, sandwich in the recent past with Stroman, Sanchez, Beede (even though he didn't sign), Syndergaard, etc. It's not like the quality of player you can get is inconsequential.
  16. Abomination
    What's the cost?
  17. Abomination
    Sorry, my point being I think you can make a case that the last 2 years didn't just come out of nowhere, but have really been roughly the norm for the last 5.
  18. Abomination
    I'm not sure that's entirely fair. He put up ghastly defensive numbers in 2012 and 2014, but was approximately average defensively the last 2 years (definitely seems to have improved, or was fighting injury those other years). If you give him average defensive numbers those other years, he's probably 3 to 3.5 war in both, maybe a tad higher.
  19. Abomination
    Stroman's xFIP this year was even better in the second half, once he stopped with the stupid approach. 3.01 xFIP with ~4:1 k/bb.
  20. Abomination
    I'd be okay with this even with the loss of draft pick. Once you start getting up in the 20M / year range though, it gets a little more iffy.
  21. Abomination
    You guys DO know that the Great American Small Park is more home run friendly than Rogers Centre, right? He probably gets a road boost from playing games in Yankee Stadium and Boston, but overall numbers are probably right about where he was last year home run wise.
  22. Abomination
    If we traded for Billy Hamilton, we could probably go with a 5 man infield.
  23. Abomination
    I feel like the combination of Bruce and Upton could approach just north of 2 WAR if used right (counting a strict platoon at the one position, not other playing time that Upton gets as well). You probably get a 120 wRC+ bat with slightly negative defense before positional adjustment, assuming Bruce has figured stuff out and doesn't regress to 2014/2015 offensive approach. There's a LOT of other options I'd prefer, but I think the general doom and gloom could be a little exaggerated.
  24. Abomination
    Can't until mid year.
  25. Abomination
    I really don't know what to think about Bruce. I kinda feel, if properly platooned with someone like Upton, he's more valuable than the metrics indicate. I wouldn't want to really give up anything of consequence though.
