He's not s***ing on your value in the deal. He's looking at it as a "right now" perspective. That pick obviously won't help you right now (unless you trade it) so at a current snapshot, your big league team is weaker than it was a day ago (value wise).
I'll never talk about any of those players again. The last thing I want to see is you lose your mind like many investors did on the famous Black Monday of 1987.
We've seen swaps like Glasnow --> Lester, Fried --> Kennedy. Sanchez could fetch a similar 28-31 year old arm. No one too special, but someone who can add to your counting stats without crippling your ratios. A move like that would be great for Spanky's rotation.
He definitely needs another arm or two. Verlander and Hudson are both solid. Alvarez might maintain decent ratios but you need more than 3-4 guys to compete with some of the best staffs.
The good news is he can promote Walker and will have Holland coming back later on in the season. A couple trades and I'll be a Spanky believer.
I remember I laughed when I saw you had him so high. To be fair though, you did weight some of that on his minor league roster. I actually had him as a bottom 5 team though I can't believe how good his team has been.
Now for saying this, one of your guys will get injured. Then BTS will make a snide remark, and he will lose someone. The cycle will go on and on. If you guys don't reach an agreement soon, you'll both be getting 14-0'd by Boxy.
I joined a public league with my friend and only one of the other 10 members showed up to the draft. I've pretty much scooped up every decent FA and closer that's arisen.
