It's hilarious how fast prospects can go from untouchable cornerstone building blocks to complete fantasy busts. I still remember the days when Brandon Wood was viewed as a power hitting franchise SS. He was routinely ranked ahead of Tulo and Hanley.
-
His brother has the same name?
-
Solid jam ^

I'm sorry, but I've seen a lot of people misusing the expression "let alone" recently, and I'd really like to set the record straight. When you say let alone, you save the more impressive number for AFTER the let alone. So really, you should have said "I don't consider him a Top 50 asset, let alone a Top 25-30 asset, like literally every fantasy website currently considers him." Sorry to be a pedantic twat, but this bugs me a lot.

I talked a bunch of s*** about Castro and said he was overrated heading into 2011 and 2012. Inexplicably, I drafted him in PL in 2013 (only because I felt he fell), and he completely shat the bed. So, naturally, I now hate him even more.
-
Peralta has a 120 wRC+ in 3 of the last 4 seasons with two 20 HR seasons. Castro's high watermark is 115 wRC+ and 14 HR. In a redraft league, I'd absolutely still take Peralta.
-
I really don't love Machado from a fantasy perspective, but you have to figure Bautista starts declining soon. Personally I would take Puig over Gomez, but keep in mind that most people play in 5x5 leagues, not OBP leagues like we take for granted.

It's extremely difficult to do a Top 500 dynasty ranking, nevermind one that includes prospects. I think it becomes a pretty useless exercise beyond the first 50-100. However, several of those guys work for BP now, so it's not like they're total amateurs. That being said, I wouldn't consider Starlin in my Top 50. I've owned bad Starlin, and it's f***ing miserable. I don't blame jaysblue for shopping him while the tide is high.
-
In a redraft league, there are a bunch of shortstops I would take ahead of Castro: Tulo, Desmond, Reyes, Hanley, Alexei, Peralta, Zobrist, maybe even Bogaerts. And that's assuming you get the decent Starlin Castro, rather than the disaster that was his 2013 season.
-
Cool, but I would never consider trading Desmond for Castro, personally. Desmond has gone 20/20 for 3 straight years while Castro has basically been given a total red light on the basepaths, has never had 15 HR in a season, and hasn't eclipsed 80 R or RBI once in the last 3 years. Here's a Top 500 Dynasty Ranking from today that has Desmond at 16 and Castro at 45. http://thedynastyguru.com/2015/02/13/the-top-500-overall-dynasty-league-rankings-february-2015/ You can't find a single ranking, re-draft or dynasty, on any website this offseason that has Castro ahead of Desmond. Yahoo, ESPN, BP, Dynasty Guru, Fangraphs, it's a clean sweep.
-
Cool, didn't know that about him.
-
Billy Butler is going to bounce back in a big way.
-
This seems extremely unlikely.
-
Hanley isn't guaranteed to lose SS after this year, I think there's a very good chance he plays enough games to maintain it for a few years. He might even get 3B as well, depending on how effective/healthy Sandoval and Bogaerts are.
-
I would never have guessed that SG had the most trades.
-
Just got offered Backes, Spezza, Kesler, and Neal for Kopitar in a keeper league. I wasn't really looking to move Kopitar but that's one hell of a win-now upgrade.
-
Are there even any closers available? Maybe if Soriano gets a gig...
-
There's no indication that we're in on Olivera whatsoever. Rumour has it there are 5 teams in at $70M+, which almost definitely rules us out entirely.
-
I'm still not convinced Souza will be anything special, but I was willing to take a chance at a reasonable price.
-
Same.
-
Remember when several people were incredulous that King Kat traded Cliff Lee for "just Urias & a 1st"?
-
First heart surgery, now this? INJURY PRONE!
-
Considering the way I've repeatedly ransacked my farm, having a Top 10 guy makes my boner rage.
-
I don't like this idea at all. Just leave it the way it is and sort out these late signees with in-season waivers.
-
You can't draft a player who isn't in the database at the start of the draft.
