Keeping these 13 for sure: Marian Hossa (RW) Nick Foligno (LW) Sidney Crosby © Zach Parise (LW) Jarome Iginla (RW) Scott Hartnell (LW) Dmitrij Jaskin (RW) Jean-Gabriel Pageau © Mike Green Hampus Lindholm Dennis Wideman Ben Bishop Marc-Andre Fleury Cutting 6 of these guys; they are all available for trade: Darren Helm (C,LW) Patrik Berglund (C,LW) Daniel Winnik (LW) Artem Anisimov (C,LW) Milan Michalek (LW,RW) Marek Zidlicky Ian Cole Kevin Klein Anisimov in Chicago is interesting. Michalek has scoring upside. Klein is a great D sleeper in our format. Zidlicky could be a good PPP defenseman. Helm hits everybody and had an increased scoring role last year. Really not sure who to keep out of that last 8.

ilu, min

I dunno, seems like a lot of work. You probably want too much.
-
If you trade someone away that ends up being really good, then you're only allowed to lament the loss of them. These are the rules. I didn't write them.
-
I could use him. My entire OF is on the DL; Souza and Dickerson are probably done for the year and Gordon isn't a good bet to have any significant impact in September even if he's off the DL.
-
But then you got cold feet and traded him for a scout-scout guy who can't throw strikes.... nothing to brag about, bro.
-
Nope. Only if you'd kept him.
-
Suddenly, Boxy's Rodon for Bird+ trade doesn't look that bad... I think the Boxy joke might be over. His 2016 rotation already looks very solid and now he might have a few offensive pieces to frustrate his opponents too, in Correa, Bird, Reddick, and maybe Winker.
-
Yeah, if Anderson can get on base enough he probably has the speed to steal 40+. Segura is a good comp because he's already displayed his upside and his hacky downside.
-
They seem like wildly different players. I'd go with "present day Jose Reyes" upside.
-
It's North's baby. He'll probably do a bulk update at some point. The rest of us barely have the attention span to click "allow trade" on Yahoo.
-
Probably not. Peripherals aren't very good. BB% around 4, K% > 20, not hitting for any power. He looks like an Alcides/Segura type right now
-
Confirmed. I also like Glasnow slightly better in a nutshell, but I need a SS for next year.
-
But I don't want Kevin Jepsen to close...
-
o/u on Jays runs tonight has to be like 9.5
-
LUP = let us pray O2IAFSR = o2cui2i is a filthy sewer rat
-
I think Mark McGwire has broken Yasiel Puig. They've tweaked so many minute things in his setup now, it's like he's constantly thinking about mechanics.
-
Yes it is. 23 points of Craig Biggio's career OBP come from being hit by pitches. Remove Carlos Quentin's career HBP count and his OBP goes from .347 to like .312 (he goes from a really good hitter to, like, Mark Trumbo) ... but it's not really a skill that you want your guy to have, necessarily. Ask Quentin, who probably hit the DL 5 times from being hit on the hands, or Kirby Puckett.
-
You have division rivals?
-
FYI PSA IMO The trade deadline is in 12 days. Someone trade me some more playoff ammo, plz. I would be inclined to move my DL guys Gordon, Souza, and Wright for healthy help.
-
Substitute in his wOBA or wRC+ and the reasoning doesn't change. He projects to be essentially a league average bat that can play third base RIGHT NOW, with all of his warts, and he has an extremistran profile that obviously has massive appreciable upside (and downside, obviously).
-
Why would 40 games in AAA sewer his prospect status? He still has a ~.800 OPS in that span and a .910 on the season. It's probably just BABIP luck because with a .300 ISO he's obviously smashing the ball.
-
Votto MiLB .289/.385/.476 718 games 3037 plate appearances 407 walks 672 strikeouts Bird .282/.395/.483 347 games 1498 plate appearances 223 walks 313 strikeouts They are SO similar, but Votto was like a 99th percentile outcome for someone with his profile and I wonder if the added developmental time helped him out significantly in the long run. Votto had full seasons at Rk, A, A+, AA, and AAA. That's a very long, and seemingly old school, developmental path. Today in most orgs someone with Votto's 2006 numbers in AA will probably see MLB time.
-
More like Martin Perez. The ingredients seem fresh but where's the beef
-
Oh. Probably just because I took him in the DDL and Boxy doesn't have many original thoughts
