Very bored with my team. Someone should try to take advantage of that.

McGowan demoted to the bullpen -Redmond/Stroman as replacements
Laika replied to HERPDERP's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Ah, well that makes more sense then. And no. Never. -

Laika replied to HERPDERP's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
McGowan deserved way, way more rope. The ups and downs of McGowan and Stroman would both even out to be greater than or equal to the steady shittiness of JA Happ. Rotation should be Dickey, Hutch, Buehrle, McGowan, Stroman. -
Hard to shake that mostly unwarranted feeling with Garza that his entire arm is going to fall off at the shoulder in the not too distant future. How about league juggernauts Dinger and FTD getting SB king Dee Gordon and the new Trout Charlie Blackmon for free this year? You cellar dwellers pleased about that?

I have a spare bat or two at this point and I could really use a solid SP. Who's selling? Outfielders, Hart, and Olt are available. All picks including 1st rounders available. Willing to move my top prospects for big additions.

Or anthrax?

The fact that you own him in this garbage league is but a tiny, tiny solace. Jose Fernandez is everything that is good about baseball. FIRST HARVEY AND NOW FERNANDEZ. WHY GOD, WHY!?
-
Jose Fernandez undergoing MRI, expected to be placed on DL, exact nature of injury still not known. Sigh.

Personally, I like that deal for the elder pussy. Jason Castro is a replaceable catcher. ZiPS: .250/.330 with ~17ish full season HR Steamer: .240/.320 with ~17ish full season HR Guys taken in the waiver draft like Chooch and Salty have been more valuable to date. MiLB #6 vs. #13 should/could be the difference between a truly elite prospect, and a merely good one. Now, I'm biased because I'm someone who almost never invests in fantasy backstops, as a rule.

Mike Fiers update: 45.1 IP, 64 K's, 6 BB, 3HR. 1.59 ERA, 0.794 WHIP, 10.67 K/BB. In the damn PCL. Anyone want to sell me a stud for a Fiers/Stroman package?
-
I don't see how Almora will ever be fantasy relevant.
-
Had a huge amount of pitches in a rough 3rd inning, so they decided to pull him. Not hurt.
-
And more importantly, there's an expectation in this league that everyone fields a full MLB lineup (starters at nearly every position, 3/4+ SP, a few RP, at the very least). Rebuilds can be difficult in this format, for sure. Everyone rebuilding should have learned from Boxy's mistakes. Cycling down for younger core pieces currently in the majors is the way to go, like you did with the A Gon trade. Really, you can only afford a couple of trades for bulk MiLB assets, and then you're full up.

Better now than in the playoffs. Your team hasnt even missed a beat.
-
Funny, second time you've said this to me within the the last week or two. I thought McCarthy was enough of an ERA putz that you'd accept it, even if you didn't really like the two guys I was offering. But at this point, if you offered the same deal to me, I'd probably have to decline based on the evolving available information.
-
Mike Olt has homered in 3 straight games. Now he has a .286 ISO, and is hitting .195 on a .186 BABIP with a 32.6% K rate. This is the type of s*** that can get frustrating about dynasty leagues. I would never even give Olt a second look in a redraft, but in this league I'd be kicking myself if he morphs into a fantasy relevant TTO 3B eligible guy, and I didn't hold onto him.
-
Honestly guys, internet couch prospecting isn't ALL about minor league K and BB rates..... (Just mostly).
-
Charlie Blackmon hit .309 in the minors. #GoodHittersHit #Scouting Good thing I picked him up in Das League
-
Gotta love the odd casual league... Tommy Hunter and Eric Young Jr. for David Ortiz. Yes please!
-
I don't really follow the draft in depth but seeing guys like Jackson, Beede, and Nicky Gordon mocking in the teens is very encouraging. Of course, the Blue Jays will probably draft a pair of high school righties and then let them walk over 500k.
-
Hoffman needs TJS. Take him anyway at #9? I f***ing would. Most recent draft arms with huge upside that fell for "injury concerns" have f***ing killed it. Giolito and Manaea, preemptive concerns with Sale... probably more.

Say what you want about Gibbers' trade evaluations, but he traded Harvey right before his elbow asploded, and now this... Hmm
-
Wieters going to see Dr. Evil I mean Andrews about elbow soreness. UCL tear possible...
