I'm in the money at 2nd, after being 9th at the all-star break. I streamed an 8.29 ERA and 1.57WHiP yesterday and lost 2 points in the standings. 3rd place behind me somehow lost loving 8. I now have a ten point lead with 5 days to go.

My Kingdom for an every day OF I somehow ended up with 4 and two were Braun/Adam Jones. I've been trying to get guys but I literally haven't had a 3 OF in about a week. I can't scoop lineups either because it's moves process the next day.

Yeah, I hated that about Yahoo, you had to plan everything the night before, I did it for pitcher streaming in the playoffs, but during the regular season when a guy had an off day, it would have been nice to be able to pick up a bat the day of.

I can keep 7 of these; 3 hitters, 3 pitchers, and a choice: 2) Votto 5) Altuve 12) Kluber 14) Arrieta 16) Braun 17) Nelson/Verlander 18) Iwakuma 19) Hamilton 20) Ventura 22) Stroman I could keep Stroman for free in the 23rd and not have him count as one of the 7, but then the next year he'd jump all the way up to the round below whoever my lowest guy is and I'm not sure if it's worth the gamble when I can just get him at a crazy low round. I'm also thinking about trying to package Kluber and Braun/Hamilton for a better long-term hitter. If I can't make a trade I'm probably going to end up with: Votto, Altuve, Kluber, Arrieta, Braun/Hamilton, Iwakuma, and Stroman. I'd add in either Ventura or keep both outfielders if I decide to take a shot on using that free keeper slot on Stroman. I might just try to blow it up and move Kluber, Braun, AND Hamilton for a better hitter then do: Votto, Altuve, other hitter, Arrietta, Iwakuma, Ventura, Nelson, and Stroman Teemu Pokemon fucked around with this message at 05:00 on Oct 1, 2015 |

The Pussy Boss posted:FAAB is tricky. I spent liberally and got pretty much every FA I wanted (except Gallo, and that worked out alright). And I made the finals. And now I have no money left and Rand Al Paul can outbid me for streaming SPs and I can't do a drat thing about it. FAAB is really quite weird, I like it better than just free-for-all waivers, but I'm not sure if I should make it nightly? Also I'm loving my Carlos Correa for $0 like three weeks before he was promoted.

I went to bed last night after Carrasco got shelled and Machado and Davis went 0 for whatever, and I was down 6-1 in the finals. Then I woke up to 9 runs, 5 homers, 10 rbi and an SB and we're at 4-4 again. Fantasy baseball, you fickle bitch.

Dandy Kaiser posted:I can keep 7 of these; 3 hitters, 3 pitchers, and a choice: Are those the rounds you can keep them in? Snake draft or auction? If Stroman pitches like this in the playoffs I'd say there's no way he falls to the 22nd round. He's been excellent since coming back. Kluber/Arrieta/Stroman is a drat solid start to a rotation, especially considering they start at the 12th round. Then Altuve/Braun for sure, Votto in the 2nd is probably pretty good if he is healthy next year.

DoctaFun posted:Are those the rounds you can keep them in? Snake draft or auction? It's a snake draft, with a random order, so the fact that I'm about to win it all means nothing   It was a 12 team league, that's now down to 10, but we're trying to get back up to 12. Those are the rounds I'd be able to keep those guys in next year. I'm trying to look toward the future because Braun won't be around forever, and I probably won't keep Votto once he's a 1st round pick after next year; so that really leaves Altuve as my only stud hitter, and he'll soon be too expensive to keep himself, which is why I'm entertaining the thought of trying to move Kluber+ for a younger hitter. The guy who I'm targeting is Correa because the guy that has him is pretty much barren for keepers except for Correa, so I'm hoping he might be desperate enough to take a Kluber/Braun/Hamilton package which would leave me with Votto, Altuve, and Correa as keepers for hitters and then Arrieta, Iwakuma, Ventura, and Stroman for pitchers which, although not as good of a stable as it would be with Kluber in there instead of Ventura/Iwakuma, still pretty decent in it's own right and I'd have a stud SS I could keep pretty much forever. We have a rule, we call them "Project Keepers", where any player drafted in the last 6 rounds can be kept for free (doesn't count against your keepers and doesn't move up a round) for the first year, but if you keep him after that, he moves to the round following your lowest player. I drafted Stroman in the 23rd and IR'd him with plans to use that keeper slot on him, but now he's back and looking so good, that I'm wondering if I should just bite the bullet, use one of my main keeper slots on him, and lock him in at a 22nd round value. Usually, you get 6 keepers (3 pitchers, 3 hitters) but if you win the league, like I'm going to, you get a 7th keeper of your choice. So I could take the gamble of keeping Stroman as that project keeper, essentially buying myself an 8th keeper, and as long as I can keep someone next year with a fairly low round, I can still lock Stroman in for a song.

Despite not needing to decide for many many months, I can't help but look at keepers this early. Our league is a 12 team, 4x4 roto with OPS/R/RBI/SB & IP/K/ERA/WHIP as the categories, with a hard start limit set at 162. Our first keeper is base cost + $1, second is +$4, third is +$8, fourth is +$13, etc etc. I'm looking at the following... Locks: Anthony Rizzo, base cost $8 Jake Arrieta, $13 Major Considerations: Rougned Odor, $2 Charlie Blackmon, $18 Brian Dozier, $10 Also-Rans: Carlos Rodon, $5 Kevin Pillar, $5 Prince Fielder, $14 Starling Marte, $24 Mad Bum, $35 At the moment I'm leaning toward Rizzo +1, Odor +4, Arrieta +8, and possibly Blackmon +13. Rizzo +1 is pretty much a guarantee, other stuff is pretty fluid.

Nooooo. David Price won't make anymore starts. So now I won't reach the start limit for the season  I was hoping he'd at least get a mini-start like Kershaw so I'd get the IP.

My team in the championship lost Matt Kemp (who quietly put up another top-50 season for those of you not paying attention) but JD Martinez was a free agent for some reason. Hopefully he plays this weekend. Also it reminded me to pull Dickerson off the DL

Welp, finished fifth out of ten in my league. My keeper situation is pretty drat good for next season, though I'd like a bit of advice on it. The locks (with what round I'd keep them with): Nolan Arenado (15th round) Jacob deGrom (23rd round) Noah Syndergaard (25th round) I can keep up to five players (and nobody taken in the first three rounds), and I've narrowed the remaining to two of the following: Sonny Gray (8th round) Todd Frazier (21st round) Anthony Rendon (18th round) Andrew Heaney (24th round) Francisco Lindor (24th round) I'm personally leaning toward Gray and one of Rendon or Lindor.

I'm hoping to win both championships this week, but the future is looking good in my two keeper leagues..We'll be keep 8 in one (and adding one a year until we hit 10) and 7 in the other with no values in either: Votto Bryant Machado Tulowitzki Harper Pollock Schwarber Pederson and Goldschmidt Russell Bogaerts Lindor Heyward Pollock Pederson I've discovered that drafts are extra important in 16-team leagues

Abel Wingnut posted:what happens if you keep less than five? Nothing really, I'd just get an extra draft pick. But considering I've got multiple viable keepers in the last five rounds (it's a 25 round draft) I don't see why I wouldn't keep five players. SouthShoreSamurai posted:There's no way you don't keep Frazier here. 21st round for a guy that's a top 30 player two years running? Frazier's been awful since the All-Star Break, which is why I was considering not keeping him. Though I've got a long time to figure that out.

Todd Frazier 2nd half HRs: 2012: 10 in 265 PA 2013: 7 in 308 PA 2014: 10 in 260 PA 2015: 10 in 290 PA The first half was just a hot start that wasn't sustainable and it actually ended 2 weeks before the all star break.

His offensive production has trended upwards in basically every catagory since 2011. No, he's not a 2016 1st round pick; Yes he is an incredible value at ~Pick #210 overall.
