I was playing Harvest Moon 64 with this kid who lived on my street and my cows were not doing well and I got so raged up and frustrated that my eyes welled up with tears and my friend was like are you crying dude. Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.

Ryon Healy Dinger God is my only 3B and after DL/NAing guys post draft, I have 4 open roster spots. Is Moustakas worth a flier or will he just hit .230 and chip in some homers and make me feel like a tool for not making Wacha or Ryu my top waiver priority?

The best 3B on the wire otherwise probably like Saladino, Profar, Gurriel, Polanco, and Flores :geno:

So like I previously said I managed to completely gently caress myself on closers in one league. I currently have Cam Bedrosian and Felipe Rivero (I picked Kelley for the WAS lotto and lost) and the wire is loving dire:


Is there anybody worth picking up there? I know Barraclough put up amazing numbers last year but he's got a lot of guys ahead of him. It seems like I'm just gonna have to try to swing a trade or just give up on SV. I'm tempted to pick up Capps but SD is so bad I don't think he'll get many save opportunities. I guess Nate Jones might be a "Grab him before he gets traded somewhere he'll close" guy?

one thing that did interest me today...bogaerts stealing 2 bases in 2 attempts. he tried another time but the ball was fouled off.

is this potentially a thing? he's never really stolen bases before so i'm not sure what to make of today's splurge. and one of them was 3b.

If he stays at 6 in the lineup I don't know why they would take away his green light as long as he is having good success. That could change if he ends up getting shifted back to the top of the lineup.

He actually had 11 steals in the first half last year then just didn't run in the second half for whatever reason. I don't find it unlikely that he'll crack 20 steals.

Just got this proposed to me last night:



Realmuto is currently my BUC (Posey is my starter), my OF outside of Eaton is:
  • Khris Davis
  • Kevin Kiermaier
  • Hunter Pence
  • Matt Kemp
  • Melky Cabrera
  • Aaron Judge
  • Danny Valencia

and my SPs are Taillon, Odorizzi, Gsellman, Strasburg, Stroman, and Wacha.

I'm more worried about losing Eaton more than Realmuto since I have Posey, but I feel like the trade doesn't really improve my team much beyond having another mid-rotation SP. I have pretty much no RP so I may counter to see if I can get one of Allen, Treinen or Oh.

(12-tm H2H, scoring is 5x5 + OBP/SLG, QS/L)

That scoring format kind of punishes you for not either going all in or punting on RPs. When you're in the middle they're really only contributing to one category out of seven, and you're going to lose that category to anyone who went in on it harder than you.

Judging by your OF alone you have way too many batters.

Oh for sure, but as per my previous post about the RP situation there's pretty much nothing out there. There's also 8 bench spots and Valencia still has 3B elig on ESPN.

EDIT: One of the other owners just contacted me about a trade that would be me giving Bryant for Donaldson+Holland/Colome which is more appealing. Pulled the trigger on that one.

To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
What do y'all think about Tom Murphy? I've been pretty high on him the last two years. I legitimately think he has 25-30 HR power playing half his games in Coors, but he'd need 400+ PA to hit that and I don't think he gets it. He's got good, and improving, underlying numbers in his two (small sample size) call-ups; LD% was in the mid 20s, hard hit and HR/FB almost near 50%, and as far as I know, he's defense isn't so atrocious that he can't stick as a catcher without needing to move to the OF/DH. He's hurt now but I can't imagine the Rockies are going anywhere, so there should be incentive to at least give him a shot to prove he can be a every day catcher when he gets back, right? Does anyone think he's ready and can take the reigns? I grabbed him with my last pick in my keeper league and stashed him on the DL which is a pretty low-risk/high-reward gambit, but he's going to need to come out guns blazing for me to justify carrying two catchers and I'm not going to trade Perez unless I know I can conceivably replace him.
