  1. His fantasy relevence is definitely over, but I mean his career might literally be over. His knee is still effed up even after multiple surgeries and he has to fend off a trio of high-upside prospects in Gallo, Mazara and Brinson.
  2. He's a great pitcher when healthy. Would own again.
  3. Yeah, I had two shares of Pineda and dumped them after waiting so long. I still want him to re-break.
  4. Remember when I traded Grandal to Min for Ryu and everyone was like LOL DINGER RAPED!!!!!! Fond memories.
  5. It's weird because it doesn't really bug me at the gym, I can still press the same amount, but periodically it hurts when I lift my arm above my head, and sleeping on that shoulder can be uncomfortable. I mostly manage it with Aleve when it pops up, but there's definitely something wrong in there if it hasn't resolved completely after all this time. I don't know if I maybe have a partial tear in the labrum or the rotator cuff or what. I got a requisition for an MRI awhile ago but then it stopped bugging me for awhile so I blew it off. Smrt.
  6. So... sounds like Josh Hamilton's career is pretty much over. Josh Hamilton (knee) will see Dr. Keith Meister over the weekend to determine if his activity should be limited at the start of spring. Hamilton has been sidelined in recent days with left knee soreness, and the doctor will help him decide on a plan as camp ramps up. Hamilton got a cortisone shot in the knee three weeks ago, but he's already dealing with some pain, a bad sign for the 34-year-old.
  7. I have an ongoing shoulder problem and it's really affecting my dodgeball velo, so I can speak from experience. They suck and they always pop back up even months after you think you're good. I haven't had surgery, although I probably do need it since this has been an on-and-off problem for me going on 3 years now.
  8. I think BTS is being a bit sarcastic probably because Ryu missed 1/4 of 2014 and then didn't throw a single pitch last year. I'm sure Ryu will at least get 20 innings this year, he lost 20 lbs!
  9. Pretty much everybody in that rotation with the exception of Kershaw has above average injury concerns.
  10. How was waiver priority determined? Probably something derpy like who signed up first. IMO we should randomize it using a generator, since a big fish like Gourriel is at stake.
  11. Perfect, that should give Brett Anderson and Hyun-Jin Ryu enough time to break before Montas is needed in the rotation.
  12. He's apparently also capable of putting up a 3.42 ERA over a 500 IP sample, from 2012-2014. He's still only 27, has decent stuff, has the most rise on his fastball of any starter in baseball with the possible exception of Chris Young. The result (when it's working) is a lot of pop-ups, which are easy outs and consequently BABIP beaters. It fell apart last year, but there could still be something useful there.
  13. I'm going to take Chris Tillman to end the draft and hope he can pull a Matt Cain out of his ass.
  14. Probably a good time to offload your Buxton share to me before the ship sinks. Gattis offer is still on the table, for now.
  15. The kid had a .305/.367/.500 line between AA/AAA this year as a 21 year old with 13/22 in half a season. Way too early to write him off.
  16. A year ago he was frequently comped to Trout, so I'm not too worried. I think 2015 Cain was a great player and Buxton will hopefully have many seasons like that, but it definitely doesn't represent his ceiling.
  17. Lol Lorenzo Cain is not the very best case scenario.
  18. C - Lucroy 1B - EE 2B - Altuve 3B - Sano SS - Bogie CF - vacant OF - Cargo OF - JDM DH - Granderson BN - Bruce, Ramos SP1 - Scherzer SP2 - Kluber SP3 - Hamels SP4 - McHugh SP5 - ERod CL - Chapman CL - Jansen CL - McGee P - Rich Hill, McCarthy, J Nelson, Kelly, Skaggs, Gallardo He'll need to get a CF, but he has plenty of trade chips. Farm has Domingo Santana, Kepler, Snell, Dahl, G Sanch, Hader, Story.
  19. Oh probably. For whatever reason I just can't get excited for Quintana, he just feels like he's been more than the sum of his parts. But that's partly my pedigree bias at work, I have a deep-seeded mistrust for pitchers who I haven't heard of and then suddenly become really good.
  20. ERA/xFIP over the last two seasons is virtually identical, Liriano has the edge in K/9 and GB rate. Quintana has put up more IP, which is great. If Liriano hadn't missed 50 IP in 2014, the Ks wouldn't be close. They're very comparable in a redraft, as a dynasty asset no question Quintana is better. My point is that Quintana is a post-sleeper mancrush while Liriano is yesterday's news, despite the fact that Liriano is equally productive.
  21. I love Liriano, such an underrated fantasy pitcher IMO. Just racks up those Ks. If I had to pick one of Liriano or Quintana (for example, just because I think he gets way more love) for 2016, I would take Frankie hands down.
  22. I think in the long-run his BB/9 will settle in around 3.5-3.8, since he doesn't have a long track record of having super s***** command. I think the 1st half was more a matter of debut jitters and not trusting his stuff enough against MLB hitters.
  23. Rodon's rookie season actually compares favourably to Kershaw's across the board, although I think long-term he's more of a Liriano type.
  24. He's a wildcard, for sure. The only thing I'm really banking on him for is about 180 punchouts, barring injury. The BB rate is probably never going to be great, but he did cut it substantially in the 2nd half (1st half 5.5 BB, 2nd half 3.7 BB). I pointed this out before, but it's easy to forget: Clayton Kershaw walked 4.5 BB/9 over his first two seasons. I trust Rodon's two plus-plus pitches, and hopefully in time he gets the control in check.
