I wasn't planning on drafting a stars and scrubs team, yet here we are. I also tried to adopt IcePhoenix's strategy of focusing solely on relievers, but then didn't have enough money to actually follow through with that plan. The only plus side is that I have no attachments to half of my roster, so I probably won't keep a player if they perform poorly, whereas I typically don't start dropping guys until at least May.

Doghouse posted:This is a pretty good core imo. Lots of risk but tons of upside. This is basically my fantasy drafting M.O. I am picking up a few guys with the potential to be first-round picks next year. If Correa and Harper have the year people were expecting last year, then I am golden. I even drafted Harper for crazy money last year, so I am not sure why I am going to that well again. My love for Harper knows no bounds, apparently. IcePhoenix posted:I actually went a bit overboard on the relievers because I was saving money for them and suddenly there were no hitters because nobody was nominating the relievers (whereas last year a bunch went in the middle of the draft). So uh, if you're in this league I'll trade one or two for a hitting upgrade I am in the league. After I drafted Melancon, I realized I only had, like, 15 dollars to spend on 11 players. I didn't really think your strategy through, mostly because I was too caught him picking guys at the top of the draft that I really really wanted.

I drafted in my 10-team league today. 5x5 only we count OBP over AVG. 1. (2) Paul Goldschmidt (Ari - 1B) 2. (19) George Springer (Hou - OF) 3. (22) Trea Turner (Was - 2B,OF) 4. (39) Giancarlo Stanton (Mia - OF) 5. (42) Jonathan Villar (Mil - 2B,3B,SS) 6. (59) Carlos Carrasco (Cle - SP) 7. (62) Carlos Martínez (StL - SP) 8. (79) Mark Melancon (SF - RP) 9. (82) Anthony Rendón (Was - 3B) 10. (99) Jackie Bradley Jr. (Bos - OF) 11. (102) Kenta Maeda (LAD - SP) 12. (119) Jeurys Familia (NYM - RP) 13. (122) Marcus Stroman (Tor - SP) 14. (139) A.J. Ramos (Mia - RP) 15. (142) Dellin Betances (NYY - RP) 16. (159) Aaron Nola (Phi - SP) 17. (162) Russell Martin (Tor - C) 18. (179) Devon Travis (Tor - 2B) 19. (182) Cam Bedrosian (LAA - RP) 20. (199) Taijuan Walker (Ari - SP) 21. (202) Michael Pineda (NYY - SP) 22. (219) Jake Odorizzi (TB - SP) 23. (222) Joe Ross (Was - SP) I am not really sure how I feel about the Turner/Stanton/Villar picks. They are three guys I wasn't targeting, but I think could make or break this team. I also went with the "throw as many pitchers at the wall and see what sticks" strategy. Twin Cinema fucked around with this message at 03:10 on Mar 28, 2017 |

I'd go with Liriano, but only because I am a Blue Jays fan and only believe in Spring Training stats when they support my beliefs. A 14.5 K/9 and a 4.83 K/BB? Sure, I believe that will translate into the regular season. Is this the thread where I post about wanting to drop Tanaka and how I think Martinez is going to be a Cy Young winner?

Fantasy baseball hurts when you are in two leagues, only because this week I own Freeman & Harper in one, and my opponent in the other league owns both, as well. Their success is also my downfall.Spoeank posted:I sent a blanket offer to my league for the worst player on their roster for Jose Bautista.

SouthShoreSamurai posted:Is CarGo droppable at this point? We're past the point of "cold streak." It's been 112 ABs. That's nearly a quarter of the season he's been utterly putrid. This reminds me of how I rostered Justin Upton until, like, loving August last year, and then he went off in September. I just looked it up, and I dropped him on August 22nd. He hit 16 home runs in his remaining 36 games, and went .297/.392/.727. This has nothing to do with CarGo, but I guess you just never know with players.

Even with Maeda's 8.1 IP 2.16 ERA performance, I finished with a 9.00 ERA in 10IP thanks to Benoit and Familia's disasters.

Combo posted:Yahoo standard h2h league, my Holland for his Berrios, I feel like I should do that, right? I really wanna sell hard on Holland because while he's done well before, I am skeptical of his continued success in Colorado with a 521 ERA+. Haven't really looked at the underlying stats, and while he's been great in the past, he's just someone I don't get a good feeling from. I say this as an owner of him in both of my leagues. Berrios has been spectacular, and while memories of last year are still present, they are fading with every good start. I am actually pretty high on him, but I am also a sucker for young, promising players. So, yes, I do that deal. Especially if you think you can punt saves.

I am in a 10-team OBP league and Odor was just dropped. He's an instant pick-up, right? The only few players I'd be willing to drop are Jackie Bradley Jr. or Suarez. I am leaning towards the latter because I haven't had the room to play him for the last few weeks.

I am set to add Odor tomorrow and drop Suarez, if no one else below me on the waiver priority list tries to pick him up instead. Also, because no one really talks about him, I am really happy that I nabbed Goldschmidt with the second pick this year. I had the choice between him, Betts, or Bryant, although I would have been happy with any one of those three picks. I just don't think Goldschmidt gets enough appreciation.

I hate that I drafted Villar. He's the type of player I tend to avoid on draft day, but it was in the fifth round and his steals looked appealing. I was set to drop him, and then Turner went down. I don't know why I continue to roster him. As I write out this post, I realize I'll drop him tomorrow.

Schweinhund posted:Maybe I'm dumb but I would still love to have Villar. I'm a sucker for power + speed. Try to trade him to someone who needs steals. It'd be a tough sell, I think. He only has 15 steals on the season, and then you have to roster his .208/.276/.349. He's basically a much worse Billy Hamilton, because at least Hamilton has 34 steals. It's July, too. However, I did drop Justin Upton in August last year and then he tore up the league, so maybe there is hope for Villar going forward.

I tried throwing Villar in a deal I was making (my Springer for his Cano/Jansen), because he said he needed a 2B. He rejected the deal, and a week later, came back to agree to the same deal. However, he didn't even want Villar as a part of the package.

In my 10-team league, I made it so the top-8 teams make the playoffs. My buddy finished 7th, bounced me out of the playoffs, and now looks poised to go to the final. His pitching has decided to never allow a run again. H2H is annoying sometimes.

I went hard after the 5th place in my league this week, and my team couldn't even do that for me. Again, I was in first place for the majority of the second half of the year, and then my team just went south in the final week and playoffs. My offense consists of Goldschmidt, Stanton, Rendon, and Turner, and I still couldn't win most offense categories.
