  1. Oddly enough, I pitched Reyes for 4 other OFs on that list. I wasn't looking at my projections at the time either.
  2. According to steamer I should have taken BTS' offer instead. I just hate Trumbo so much though. #44 Jose Reyes Dee Gordon Robinson Cano Kyle Seager Shin-Soo Choo Joc Pederson Matt Holliday Xander Bogaerts Buster Posey Carlos Santana Matt Carpenter Mark Trumbo Carlos Gomez Hanley Ramirez Khris Davis Victor Martinez Lorenzo Cain Evan Longoria Jacoby Ellsbury Gregory Polanco Anthony Rendon #65 Alex Gordon
  3. Alex Gordon is super boring to own, I've done it before.
  4. I'm thinking of changing my team name to Miggy Stardust. 1) Yes. 2) No. 3) Kill yourself.
  5. Also included: one size M blue Jose Reyes replica jersey.
  6. THE REYES SWEEPSTAKES ARE OVER. To NJH: Reyes + Kelvin Herrera To LOB: Alex Gordon
  7. I seem to recall him being ranked above Trout on some Top 100s their last year as prospects, although maybe I'm imagining that. He was a surefire ace back then.
  8. I assume Gryffindor is going to roll the dice and keep him since he just acquired him 10 min ago.
  9. Also, a 90 wRC+ at Coors Field translates to about a .330 wOBA, which is what Brandon Crawford had last year.
  10. Shapiro isn't our GM, though.
  11. 2014/2015 Andrus - 77 wRC+ Avg SS - 85 wRC+ Reyes - 93 wRC+ Oh ok then, I'll take you out of the running for Reyes. Down to 4 teams now.
  12. Boxy traded him to me for Allen Craig, then I traded him to NJH for Darren O'Day. I'm pretty sure NJH fired him into the sun to stream a playoff ^.
  13. Wow, Pomeranz really bounced around in 2015.
  14. I'm looking to trade Jose Reyes for an OF (or prospect) by the end of the weekend, so hit me up if you are in on him.
  15. Man, Knapp's half season at AA is so weird. 55 games where he put up a .271 ISO and a 200 wRC+ after never showing better than average power before. He is admittedly more likely to stick at catcher than Alfaro but I think long-term his power isn't as tantalizing. Knapp could have Cervellian upside, which is considerable. Or maybe he just mashed AA as an over-ager. I really don't know much about him. Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: There’s just not enough potential here to invest heavily in Knapp, despite the gaudy stats in Double-A. In fact, if someone in your league likes a good stat page, you should float Knapp to him/her. The proximity and power is enough to make him someone who should be owned in leagues that roster 200 prospects, but don’t get carried away—there’s nothing wrong with .250 and 15 homers, but most of those stats are available on the wire in mixed one-catcher formats.
  16. I disagree, they put out lots of interesting content and the subscription is cheap.
  17. I'll be interested to see where Gallo goes in the BORED draft. I remember Nox telling me he had a deal lined up in his ottoneu league where he got Chris Sale for his Joey Gallo. I urged him to do it to no avail. No wonder he's never won that league!
  18. I'd put him no lower than 4th in their system, personally. Crawford and Williams are ahead of him for sure, the rest... questionable.
  19. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/card/images/headshot_68062.jpg8. Jorge Alfaro, C DOB: 06/11/1993 Height/Weight: 6’2” 225 lbs. Bats/Throws: R/R Drafted/Acquired: Signed January 2010 out of Colombia by the Texas Rangers for $1,300,000, traded to Philadelphia in the Cole Hamels deal Previous Ranking(s): 2015: #3 (Org), #31 (Overall) 2015 Stats: .258/.324/.438, 5 HR, 2 SB between the Gulf Coast League and Double-A Frisco Key Tools: 80 arm, 60 power, 50 run Role: 50—Average major-league regular in...right field? It's borderline apostasy at Baseball Prospectus to have #TheLegend this low on an organizational list, even one as deep as Philadelphia's. And I get the appeal, I really do. You just don't find major-league catchers with Alfaro's catalog of raw tools. And he's still only 22, and performed well enough in Double-A before suffering an ankle injury. That's not nothing. At a certain point, though, the improvements projected both at and behind the plate have to start manifesting in games, especially given the large gap between present and future when it comes to how we've written about Alfaro. You know the good by now. It's an elite arm behind the plate, though it can play down when he isn't mechanically right coming out of the crouch. The raw power is an easy 70, but the approach and swing issues will limit how much it plays in games. Alfaro might be a .230 hitter in the majors, which is fine for a catcher with some pop, but the skills behind the plate still play as well below average, and that was before his fairly severe ankle injury in 2015. His best defensive fit might be right field, where he has more than enough arm strength and athleticism to handle the position, though the bat is much less exciting there. This looks to be a bit of a make-or-break year for Alfaro, coming to a new organization and off a significant leg injury. Like Appel, it is possible he benefits from a change of scenery, but until the tools start to play more in games, some conservatism is warranted. Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: Catching prospects are a fickle breed in dynasty leagues, and yet we still gamble on the upside of having that elite option—a shark among a sea of plankton and pollution. Alfaro once held that upside, and as he’s gotten larger in the microscope, the warts have grown larger. There’s still plenty of value in a .260 hitting catcher with 20 homers (only one catcher did that in 2015, and it wasn’t who you think), we just all need to re-adjust our expectations. Major league ETA: 2017 Plus according to MLB.com he's currently the top catching prospect, FWIW.
  20. Condors are endangered species.
