I'm gonna start a $20 with a snake draft and normal or semi-normal H2H cats since my other Goon league died. Sometime this week with a draft in mid or late March.

In a must keep 3 players situation, I have Altuve, Lindor, Springer, and Miguel Cabrera. This is the time when I begrudgingly send Cabrera out to pasture, right?

This is a goon league so no sabotage replies please. :)

That's really loving tough. I'd say kick Lindor but since it's a keeper league...

I'm struggling with it because

A. SS is deeper than years past
B. 1B is shallower than years past
C. After '15 I thought Cabrera could be entering his decline phase due to age/injury and '16 would likely be the last year he was keep-worthy. That obviously isn't the case.

Hey does anyone know why ESPN wouldn't let me draft at a particular time? I want 8PM and it only gives me the option for 7:45 and 8:15.



Maybe it's "full " at that exact time. Used to have that problem with fantasy football drafts on yahoo back in the day. If you waited to long to schedule your draft, you'd get stuck with only morning or afternoon slots.

Swanson in a keeper is one thing, but he shouldn't have been drafted in normal redraft leagues.

In my keeper I just keep him perma-benched since I also have Diaz.

You're going to trade for a suspended player and keep him on your bench for 3 months? I don't see how you could unless you have big benches.

They didn't give a notification when Tyson Ross was starting yesterday either. Which was really annoying since I'd been holding him for 3 weeks or whatever it's been. ESPN is way better on notifications.

Within the next week or so? Probably not. At some point? Probably yes. Feliz has only blown one save. But part of the reason for that is because he's had so few save opportunities over the past few weeks.

It might be Law. If both were available, I'd take Strickland simply because he has a little more experience and Bochy loves that. And don't anybody go dropping anyone of any value for a fill-in, maybe/maybe-not closer on this wretched team.

For anyone with Kennedy, don't forget he's coming off the DL tomorrow to start one of the games in the doubleheader.

(he was actually coming off today but you get a free pass if you forgot :v:)

I phrased that oddly, I guess I'm wondering more why it doesn't have a retractable roof.

I also didn't realize that Target Field has been open 7 years already. I don't pay a lot attention to the AL Central. :)
