As soon as you want (all cuts are final bro)
-
Who has more 2014 upside - Zach McAllister, Bud Norris, Matt Harrison, or NL Jason Hammel? Toss up for my 20th keep... pitching is hard to find midseason so I figure I'll keep an SP6. These guys all have some things to like (and more to dislike). Keep lottery ticket Jon Villar, or keep 2 of those ^ arms? Someone give me advice so I can do the opposite.

I believe all recent cuts have been made on the spread. Cuts made: Dinger No49 KingKat Havok Sammy BTS Boxy TCA FTD Still have to make cuts (one week left): Realmin Hurl GP JF Zeros TOfan silvergun speedygose spanky jaysblue fearless leader Reminder that all cuts once posted anywhere are final, and the enforcement of this rule is doled out at my (and Dinger/BTS') discretion. Only two managers currently has an excess prospect (Jays Fever and Silvergun, in case someone was looking to acquire a penny stock before the season starts). We f***ed up somewhere because silvergun and speedygose both are listed with waiver pick #88, so some clarification there would be kewl. Please check your rosters for any errors and discrepancies. Administration note: if you have 6 waiver picks and you submit a cutdown roster of 20 names, then your 6th pick immediately vanishes into the ether. To use the extra pick, you would have to only keep 19 dudes.

Terrible team, but at least it's stupid young. A couple of breakouts + some good adds and maybe you can finish as high as 16th or so...... in 2016. On that note, If I were you I would keep Didi and cut Chavez.
-
And Hughes. And Nolasco... Maybe.
-
Not a huge gap but I'd rather have Maholm, biggest factor being age.
-
How do the Astros not offer him like, 2/8 to be their #4?
-
Paul Maholm is signing a f***ing minor league deal? Looks like it is a buyer's market for pitching, despite what KevTo gave to Bronson "BP" Arroyo. Maholm > Arroyo
-
Multiple trusted sources now confirming the fake report to me via Twitter DM.
-
Guy who works for the team just told me that AA is trying to get Drew and TWO pitchers (Burnett + one of the others) to all sign together, at the same time. Some big splash media show thing. ... not.
-
Not really, Arroyo's profile is a lot different. If anything it helps their case since Arroyo might have gotten more than expected, and now $13M for someone like Ubaldo might be looked at as kind of cheap in comparison to Arroyo. But the Garza deal is a better rough barometer. Much better. Take the injury discount that was applied to Garza and rename it the draftpick discount to apply it to Ubaldo or poopface.
-
Corbin Miley Cahill McCarthy Arroyo Bradley Delgado Hudson (DL) The DBacks pitching depth chart is now antifragile, to a small extent - they could actually stand to benefit from a certain amount of injury shock. Unpredictable injury to Arroyo = Bradley's a chance to breakout, X WAR upgrade for Arizona?

Kevin Towers is a buffooooooooooooooooon
-
That's a very specific argument supporting nutshell. Give any team in baseball five million bucks and there would, hypothetically, be a way to spend it that trumps buying a reliever. Any team. Ever. Good GMs sometimes buy relievers, but probably not before exhausting an extensive list of other options. Maybe you run Tampa Bay and you have a few bucks for some weird reason and the off-season is almost over and your manager keeps telling you how much he loves grant balfour, so you just say f*** it and swallow the bitter pill of inefficiency.
-
1/5? I'd probably do that. But, I'd need the payroll space and nothing more efficient to spend it on. So if I had five mill to spend, buying a reliever would be way down my list. I'm not an absolutist. General rules here.
-
Even the best aren't infallible. - Rasmus trade for Moz was crud. - Loney re-signing was poo for Rays. GB signing was weird as well. - Doesn't Beane trade Pena for Rincon in Moneyball? - I'm a fantasy baseball superstar but even I don't win every trade.
-
No.
-
Sign some cheap RP depth then. You can get guys for 1M, league min, or on minor league deals with decent enough chances to turn into something. Robert Coello? Danny Farquhar? Did anyone give half a f*** when Toronto let them go? They were nothing.
-
Exactly.
-
DFA'ed? Interesting choice. I would have done with DFA'd.
-
Not a smart way to spend money, but 2/14 isn't really all that terrible considering the upside and what guys like Pap-smear and Soriano have gotten in years past.
-
Agreed. Suboptimal choice but it's not like the rest of the team is optimal. As a St Louis fan, I'm hoping he gets to dress and doesn't end up as an extra forward.
-
Welp. Better start collecting resumes.
