Ended up getting Ryan Braun for him. I guess now I'll pray for health.

Marwin Gonzalez was a free agent in one of my leagues so I picked him up because he can play everything but catcher, is he just hitting way over his head right now or is it possible that he's actually going to still be good?

I don't know if he made adjustments in the off-season a la Yonder Alonso, but just going by the numbers: his HR/FB percentage is unsustainably high, but he's walking a lot more and everything else is pretty close to his career norms; hell, his BABIP is about 30 points low. I wouldn't expect the homers to continue, but as long as he gets playing time and keeps walking he should be a great utility guy.



On a separate note, how do these trades sound?

Trade 1: give Cesar Hernandez, get Eduardo Rodriguez

Trade 2: give Zack Cozart, get Kevin Pillar

Who else do you have to play SS? I like Pillar, but OF is such a deep position and MIF generally isn't.

Are you in a league that values fielding or something that Cozart and Pillar are owned? I know both have been hitting extremely well but it probably won't last....

You own them until they don't hit well anymore.

Andrus. I wouldn't say I'm absolutely set at the position, but I'm down an outfielder with Polanco out and I trust Pillar to keep up the performance more than I do Cozart anyway. Cozart is carrying a .400 BABIP right now, there's no way he keeps that up.

It's a 12-teamer but I'm not sure what to tell you otherwise, Cozart is the #6 SS and Pillar is the #15 OF on ESPN. I don't expect either one to finish the season where they are, but they shouldn't be unowned right now.

Carlos Santana getting his 4th start in RF tonight. Hopefully he gets number 5 tomorrow and gains OF eligibility because I'm really hurting there.

It's only a 2 game series in Cincinnati so it'll be another few weeks for him to gain eligibility if he gets tomorrow off.

Speaking of "it won't last", Alex Avila cleared waivers yesterday so I picked him up and am hoping he's good for as long as Kyle Schwarber sucks.

GIVE Daniel Murphy, GET Josh Donaldson

Do I win that? I have a glut of 1Bs (Encarnacion, Alonso, Bellinger, Murphy, Avila) and a handful of 2Bs (Happ, Odor, Murphy) and am weak at 3B (Healy). At first I thought it was an obvious mash but I'm starting to psyche myself out over "what if Donaldson gets hurt again or the injury affects his play when he's back?" and "why would you trade away the cleanup hitting in the highest scoring lineup in baseball right now?".

That's a gamble, but Donaldson could come out on fire like JD Martinez and it's a huge upgrade over Healy.

I don't know but I sure hope they figure it out soon. I don't think you can drop him, but I would be benching him until he strings together two decent starts.

I've got a case of malt liquor stashed in the trunk, Mr. Marvin Gaye on the CD. We are gonna get all the way down.


Soooo Britton is a free agent in one of my leagues. I have 5 closers. I don't know who to drop.

My closers are Holland, Watson, Bush, Norris, Knebel.


edit: poo poo, I gotta drop 2 since I have Story still in a DL spot, so drop 1 closer to activate story, then drop another to pickup Britton or should I not bother?

although I did drop Tom Murphy for Devon Travis yesterday anyway. I still want Murphy though... power hitting catcher at Coors??

The Cubs have a bunt defensive alignment that forces them to classify Rizzo as a 2B for one play. 4 more and he has 2B eligibility.
