Can we just give this guy the Randy treatment?

You guys should just do what I do and go almost a decade without shaving your face. Feels good.

TCA isn't going to have any playoff appearances anyway. This pick really doesn't matter. Just close your eyes and point to a list of the top-10 on your board.

GD traded up to Cyborg's spot, and is now trying to trade up to TCA's spot. He presumably wants Posey.

Is TCA the worst? Yes or yes?

Hmm... sounds like I should probably play this.

I've had The Last of Us sitting in its cellophane wrap for like 8 months.

I hadn't played through a game in probably 2 years, then sunk an easy 50 hours into fallout in the first three weeks on January.

TCA Cyborg TRM

I thought for sure you'd go Cutch here.

We seem firmly into tier three of the round now.

abom wants CCC Contentious Carlos Correa

I have abom's pick. IT will be made as soon as J4L picks.

The thread has weirdly taken a turn towards the "Jackson is redundant here, I don't want him" opinion. I find his contract difficult to project. He could get 2/15 or 3/40, or anywhere in between and I wouldn't bat an eye. Towards the lower end of that I think he's a no-brainer.

There's a lot of risk with the other player too though. He might not be all that.

He's probably better off just taking Kershaw.

I'm surprised JFL is considering trading down here with a generational talent still on the board.

A borderline dynasty?

I like to build around pitching and defense in fantasy baseball.

Every time you post this I want to assault you.

Yeah. He's not considering a discount because he loves New York. They're just still in the picture because his market hasn't been there yet.

Like 10+ years of an absolute monster at a position that's surprisingly tough to fill. No regret will be had.

I think this is very wise.

All the more reason to sign Jackson. Junior Lake is awful.

To get a feel for how important it is to have depth beyond the 4th OF, you really just need to have been paying attention to this team. 2015 pre-season Top 4 = Bautista, Pillar, Pompey, Saunders time in OF for Pennington, Tolleson, Valencia, Carrera, Goins, Diaz, and Colabello = 182 games, 1118.2 innings * team had to trade for Revere mid-season 2014 pre-season Top 4 = Bautista, Cabrera, Rasmus, Sierra time in OF for Encarnacion, Mayberry, Reimold, Diaz, Tolleson, Gillespie, Gose, Mastroianni, Glenn, Pillar, Pompey = 202 games, 1247.33 innings 2013 pre-season top-4 = Bautista, Cabrera, Rasmus, Davis time in OF for Bonifacio, Gose, Sierra, Pillar = 150 games, 1037.32 innings We're talking about over 1000 innings per season being played by guys who weren't in the opening day 4-man OF rotation. Someone gets hurt, and the carousel of replacement-level garbage revs up. As things stand now, those innings are going to Junior Lake and Ezequiel Carrera. There is going to be plenty of playing time for Austin Jackson this year.
