I was considering offering Corey Dickerson but going from Scherzer --> Tanaka made me mindlessly Google how to tie a noose, so I stopped thinking about it.
Well it seems like he is. Another called K on Conforto.
Hard to not give him the 5th spot at this point... and as a Sanchie hater I hate admitting that.
Darvish
Stroman
Gray
Hamels
Tanaka?
Matz
Quintana
Ross/Pineda/Rodon/Smyly --> pick your favourite type of warts. Bad mechanics? Past shoulder issues? Walk issues? Recent shoulder issues?
I feel like Matz could be ahead of Tanaka, but upside says Tanaka is definitely above the other 5.
I dunno, I think it's at the point now where it's almost useless. Player values change pretty fast, and any actual draft is full of reaches, fallers, and bad drafters.
Man, I would have no idea how to value Tanaka right now.
Partially torn UCL in 2014
Rest chosen over surgery
2015 - misses some time with right forearm and wrist strains
October 2015 - offseason elbow surgery for a bone spur
???????
99% of the time they only add a new player to the system if he makes his MLB debut.
The exceptions seem to come in spring training.
Not really anything we can do about it.
Of course it's fair. 2nd tier closer for a second round pick + a veteran with fringe value. KK will probably hope to flip Yadi for another 2nd round pick near the deadline or draft.
I don't think Nunez is really much of a fantasy prospect.
