commish posted:After taking a year off from fantasy baseball, I am back with a first draft tonight. I don't even have much time to crunch my own numbers/come up with my own break/dud lists. What's the consensus on useful fantasy baseball sites? And yes, fantasy world, Arenado, sleeper, breakout player, got it, got it. I think his agent must have paid every fantasy writer off. I think there's a lot of value to be had this year, in my draft I found that some of the recent breakout players from the last two years were going for absurd prices, while others were fairly cheap. There is also a good chunk of 'getting kind of old and coming off a down year' former studs that came at a pretty decent discount. Guys like Braun/Votto/Fielder/Pujols(even though he had a solid 2014)/CarGo/Kemp/Ellsbury/Ortiz/Pedroia/Holliday/A-Gon all went for very reasonable prices in my auction.

Finish up my 12 team head to head 5 categories draft, categories are: Avg, K (dumb i know), HR, RBI, OPS, SB ERA, WHIP, K/9, NSVH, IP, QS C Yadier Molina 1B Victor Martinez 2B Howie Kendrick 3B Ryan Zimmerman SS Jose Reyes OF Giancarlo Stanton OF Yasiel Puig OF Jorge Soler UT Steven Souza BN Joe Panik BN Alex Rodriguez  NA Francisco Lindor SP Masahiro Tanaka SP Gio Gonzalez SP Anibal Sanchez SP Jose Quintana BN Hyu Jin Ryu BN Rick Porcello BN Carlos Martinez RP Zach Britton RP Darren O'Day RP Kenley Jansen Jansen, Ryu, and who knows who else will end up in one of the three remaining DL spots, freeing up some spots for more relievers/hitters once the season kicks in. I'm not too pleased about my starting pitchers - Tanaka and Ryu are in questionable health, but I've tried to round it out a bit by picking up Martinez and Porcello off free agency now that the league is active. Any thoughts on big weaknesses? I'm definitely going to need more backup in hitting, and probably drop Lindor to move Souza to my N/A spot once he gets demoted.

Am I right to say no to a deal where I would get Upton and Kemp for my Cespedes and Rendon? It is a keeper league, and I'm pretty thin at 2B even though Rendon is out for three weeks with the knee issue. Or should I go with Upton/Kemp?

If you don't have a 2B to replace Rendon you probably shouldn't take the trade but it is a fair trade, and tempting.

In R, RBI, SB, OPS who would you rather have for occasional subbing on other players off days or platooning (Note, steals mostly guys): Eric Young Jr Emilio Bonafacio Craig Gentry Jordan Schafer Michael Bourn Angel Pagan ..obviously starting to scrape the bottom here hahaha but I drafted a power heavy team without much steals.

Both Nathan and Soria are on my WW in a 10 team roto. I'll have room when I can put Uehara on the DL and I grabbed Mujica last weekend. Go for Nathan for some short term saves until he explodes or Soria for the ROS, or neither?

euphronius posted:I was offered Belt and Benoit for Carlos Santana You'd be the one giving up Santana? If so, I don't really like the deal. Has Benoit been confirmed closer for the Padres? If not, you are getting a setup man and a downgrade on offense. I'd rather start Santana at 1st than Belt, AND Santana has 3B eligibility. Do you need a RP really bad? Who would you be dropping to make room for the extra player?

ChiTownEddie posted:In R, RBI, SB, OPS who would you rather have for occasional subbing on other players off days or platooning (Note, steals mostly guys): Pagan is the best OPS guy on that list from anywhere from 40 to 150 or more points of OPS so you might be shooting yourself in the foot in OPS in exchange for maybe a steal or 2 if you're just subbing these guys in. Worst case scenario, somebody like Young or Schafer goes 0-5 and saps your OPS and gives you no steals. I would go with Pagan because he wont' kill you in any given category like most of the rest of these players and could give you some steals. Bourn would be the next guy I would go with, for similar reasons, and then Bonifacio. I say this because you're using these guys as subs and not everyday guys so there's no way to guarantee they'll steal a base on that one day you use them so I would insulate against failure. http://www.fangraphs.com/projections.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&type=zips&team=0&lg=all&players=l20613

Ah, good points. I should probably evaluate it similarly. Also because I imagine guys like Eric Young Jr will remain of waivers for a while in case I reaaally just need more steal later.

I just traded Andrus for Chris Archer. I am not sure how others feel about this deal, so I thought I'd make it known here. Two things made me do this deal: 1) I have Segura as a back-up SS. I don't expect anything from him, but he was cheap to draft, and I figured "what the hell?" It's probably not a great gamble, but SS is such a wasteland this year, that who knows. 2) With the recent injury to Wheeler, and Ryu possibly going down for a while, my top pitcher is probably Shoemaker. I like my staff, but none of them are stars (Fiers, Bailey, Hutchison, and Leake round out the rotation). Archer was one of the guys I was aiming for on draft day, and I think he could do well this year.

Vernacular posted:Rusney optioned to AAA. Not entirely surprising, but god damnit. I have Rusney on all 4 of my teams... dude is a stud when he's played.  loving Victorino, indeed.  I wish the Sox would just release him, I know never gonna happen, but he has been a huge dick/clubhouse-cancer this entire spring basically throwing Mookie under the bus. At least he is fragile as gently caress so it shouldn't be too long until he hurts himself.

I also have Javier Baez, but I'm not thinking he'll make much of a positive impact. If he was more of a sure thing I'd probably have accepted already. Oh, and for the sake of extra information: my outfield is Joc Pederson, Adam Eaton, Wil Myers, Jorge Soler, Desmond Jennings, and the aforementioned Cespedes.

I really don't know one way or the other, but for what it's worth that exact phrase is being used on sports radio in Boston. I know, sports radio... But sometimes these things develop from nothing. What are peoples' expectations from Castillo? This year and long-term?

Castillo is expected to be a reliable bat from what I've read and that he probably won't be held down too long. They talked about him on Grantland a bit in the AL East Preview and they expect him to be more of an impact than Victorino, especially when/if Victorino goes down with an injury.

I have the 12th overall pick in my H2H keeper league in about 20 minutes. It's a 7x7 with SLG and OBP added for hitters and QS and CG for pitchers. My keepers are Altuve, B. Hamilton, and Braun for hitters and Kluber, Shields, and Arietta for pitchers. The top available players are: McCutchen Stanton Bautista Jones Cano Ramirez Hernandez Beltre Tulowitzki Desmond Ellsbury A. Gonzalez Price Upton Greinke Freeman Arenado C. Gonzalez Dickerson Who should I be looking at with my pick? My feeling is probably Desmond if he's available, lock up the middle of my IF with top talent and then just fill in 1B, 3B and my last OF spot in the next few rounds before worrying about pitching. Failing that I'm thinking one of the 1B (Gonzalez/Freeman) or Ellsbury. Thoughts? e: It's a 10-teamer and I don't have a 1st round pick, if that matters (I'm supposed to be drafting 9th overall but I traded my 1st last year) Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Apr 3, 2015 |
