Actually that's a pretty nice deal for the O's if they're planning on DHing him a lot and getting 1.5 WAR. Lol @ Cruz. Pretty soon Erv and Morales are going to have to bite the bullet too.
The guy hits for power and that is it. He doesn't get on base, doesn't hit for average, misses about 50 games a year, and is a putrid defender. I'm glad Baltimore feels compelled to waste money on him.
Yeah, I usually push for that but few people seem to take the option. I guess the bottom line is we have 100 picks to get through, and if we only average 5/day, this could take weeks to finish.
I'm sure several people have emailed him. It's a tough break but speedygose is free to make his pick whenever he's ready. I probably wouldn't show any mercy if it was my turn to pick, but I'm a dick like that.
Do we have a rule on overnight windows? Kinda hard to expect gibbers to make a pick between 9 pm Friday and 9 am Saturday. I emailed him about an hour ago, maybe give him until noon at least?
I'd take Cobb in a redraft in consideration of Wacha's IP, but it's pretty close for me a in a dynasty. I never really believed in either of them until they shoved in the big leagues.
Fair enough, elite GB% and elite defense is a sexy match. I'd still be pretty surprised if he posts a sub-3 ERA over 200 though. I'd probably be thinking of ways to try to get him from you if I didn't already have like 8 SP2s.
He's definitely a Top 100 player, he's in that tier with Shields & Medlen and some other SP2s in the 75-100 range. I probably wouldn't buy him as more than a 3.50 ERA/7.5 K/9 guy going forward tho.
