If your league uses OBP in any way, I would take Bautista over Grichuk. Similar projected HR etc. counts, but Bautista's projected OBP is ~60 points higher.

This isn't my OBP league. I'm gonna claim Bautista but dunno who to drop (maybe Grichuk), and if I can find 2 drops I'll put in a claim for Bregman too.

I don't think they signed cecil with the intent to have him as a closer fail safe option.

I think they signed Cecil because they don't trust Rosenthal in high leverage situations anymore

I want to grab a reliever who has the best chance to get saves: J. Wilson (DET), Dolittle, McGee, Bush (Tex), and Buchter (SD).
Help?!

I mean, he's a top prospect in a great lineup, but then again he's projected for 10 HR and 10 SB. Maybe that's the projection systems being conservative, IDK, is he supposed to have more power and speed than that?

I was a little surprised how early Benintendi went in my drafts.

I didn't think so highly of Mookie. I had similar expectations for him (.300, 15/15) and then he exploded. Sometimes being a good contact hitter can produce some unexpected results.

Razzball has him leaning towards 15 hr/20 sb which is still really good considering he's supposed to be a high contact guy. Probably better than a lot of junk out there.

On a side note I wish only Grey did whacky analysis and Razzball had some more solid writers. Everyone besides Grey seems to be Grey fanboys who desperately try to throw puns into every sentence.

He does seem a lot like Benintendi and Mookie. Man, if the Red Sox had him, that would be a pretty good outfield.


Side note:
What the hell is up with terrible teams lighting up my streamers?

I just can't quit streaming Koehler then Atlanta comes alive, and today, Zimmerman gets lit up by the Twins. I understand pitching is always awful, but can I please catch a break against the worst teams?

I would sign up for a Yahoo pro league for $20. If you join a free league of random people half the people will probably stop playing after a week.
