I'm trying to go 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 on an end of roster player, but it's easier said than done. Even rebuilding teams are attached to the guys they have. The ironic thing is, I was the one who insisted on 20 man rosters. North, trading a better player to keep a worse one is cutting off my nose to spite my face. I'd rather stack the Waiver Draft so I have a better chance at getting one back at #14.
-
It's looking pretty likely that I'll be cutting Bourn, Cishek, Balfour, and Street. It's not ideal, but that's the nature of this league. I hope to get at least one of those closers back in the Rule 5.
-
I will trade Michael Bourn for literally anything. A rebuilding team could turn a nice profit if they send me a late pick for him and he rebuilds enough value to sell off during the season.
-
I was actually surprised to see how many mid-round picks I have after this deal. I thought my farm was a lot more depleted than it is.
-
That would be really nice. He just needs 10 games or 5 games started per season. Leonys Martin has a major platoon split, so it's quite possible. In my mind I chose to keep Chris Davis over Freddie Freeman for the long haul. Miggy will probably also lose 3B eligibility next year, so I was either going to trade Freeman now, or next off-season. I think Choo is a better fantasy player in this format than Freeman for the foreseeable future, and I wasn't going to acquire a better CF than Choo (good luck getting Trout, McCutchen, or Cargo).
-
No doubt I took on some age here, but CF was a weakness for me and 1B/DH was a strength. I prefer to take Freeman out of the equation altogether and think of this as: Buxton + Crick + Glasnow + some late picks for Sale + Choo + Ortiz + Heredia + those pick upgrades from No49.
-
And I'm sure No49 can attest to this, but Choo was my target all along. I've been pestering him with offers for months.
-
The market seemed to dictate that Price was the more valuable player, and I can buy that, but I'm very glad to land my elite CF, a position that was very weak for me. And next year, Choo still plays nicely as just an OF, when I presume Torii will retire. I still like Price and I think Jfas is low on him though.
-
Maybe, but Phillips and Bailey would probably be good for ~7 WAR. -
Bailey and/or Phillips?
-
I also think it's a weak draft, and I doubted that I'd get a pitcher with as much upside at #14. I'm sure roster crunch was also a consideration for you.
-
I can understand why some people don't buy in on Archer, but after watching him pitch, I really like him. He's got heat, a filthy breaking ball and a plus changeup, and he's just a nasty motherf***er on the mound. He's also got a nice GB rate. I like the swagger and the competitiveness, and I like the Rays ability to develop pitching (and Molina). I was also really impressed how he cut his walk rate at the major league level, that's a lot easier said than done. I think he'll give me 170 IP in the 3.50-3.70 FIP range, and I think he'll emerge as a SP2 type over the next few years. Maybe an A.J. Burnett type career.
-
It's true, I haven't won s***. I finished like 7th. Although I have added Sale, Price, Desmond, Ortiz, Archer, and Torii since then.
-
U like my relief ace brah?
-
I am engorged.
-
Well if we're doing whole staff, I want another 1.5 for Koji.
-
What's mine?
-
Tis a fine lineup.
-
And defense matters because...?
-
Not Hudson, just to be clear lol
-
Jay, you know who I want.
-
Sale's slider is also probably a top 5 pitch in baseball.
-
I'd take Kershaw for the ERA and Winz, but it's worth noting that Sale bested him in K rate, BB rate, velo, GB%, and he's younger. If you remove the team and park context, theres a case for it; but of course baseball isn't played in a vacuum.
-
I'd have to agree, but I'm also surprised Darvish hasn't entered the conversation yet.
-
I think youre a playoff contender this year, Ass.
