BSOHL alert

quote:

It has picked up again this offseason and carried into the spring, but this time it’s for all the right reasons as a noticeably slimmed-down Sano arrived at Twins camp Sunday.

The “new Miguel Sano,” as he referred to himself, might have to wait a bit longer to join his teammates in all spring activities after suffering a cut on his right heel while in the Dominican Republic, but he drew rave reviews for his conditioning.

“We’re going to basically get it looked at first, then make a determination as far as timetable and see where he’s at,” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “Otherwise, besides that, he looks great. He looks as good or better as we ever could have hoped coming into camp.”

I didn't want to be the one to say it first but the Twins basically put him on a diet this offseason and he had to check in with them every week or two from their Dominican facility to show that he was staying on track.

I heard on the radio that Buxton put on a bunch of muscle as well.

I still would be careful about drafting them, though a healthy Sano that isn't a fat gently caress is certainly an interesting idea.

Both Buxton and Sano are on the wire in my first league, so I decided to take a flier on Sano.

The same guy in one of my leagues auto drafted both Sano and Buxton. It's going to either go really well or really badly.

If you’re gonna move Freeman I’d rather target an SP. Still that trade is great for you though.

That’s a stacked offense, how many teams in the league?

I’m extremely high on Robles so don’t sell too low for another SP. I like him way more than Eloy for example.

Probably depends a lot on league type and categories, but I like Robles' synergy with the team a bit better as an additional source of SB.

Bregor
May 31, 2013

Speed, baby!

Seriously though, Robles will be the Opening Day CF and is an Adam Eaton injury away from batting 1 or 2 in that lineup, and even in the 7 or 8 spot he'll get opportunities for counting stats. I don't think the ChiSox will delay Eloy coming up two weeks into April, but it wouldn't shock me either? If you told me they'd have the same amount of PAs then it comes down to team need at that point, but in a vacuum I'll take the SB upside.

I'm looking for some keeper advice. I'm in a 12 team H2H points league with a $260 budget auction draft. I can keep between 5 and 9 players, here are my options:

Manny Machado - $35
Gleyber Torres - $10
Miguel Andujar - $10
Mallex Smith - $10
Kyle Tucker - $10
Carlos Santana - $7
Gerrit Cole - $19
Mike Foltynewicz - $5
Ivan Nova - $2
Steven Matz - $8

I'm definitely keeping Machado, Torres, Andujar, Cole, and Folty, probably Nova too (he's not great but I think he's good enough for $2). I'm on the fence about Matz and Santana. I'm optimistic about Matz but he has trouble staying healthy. And Santana is cheap enough, but I think I would rather draft someone better. I also want to keep Smith and Tucker as well, but I think I can just draft them again for a cheaper price. I might be able to draft Matz cheaper too.

I can also commit to Machado for 2 years for a $10 inflation, so $45 for the next two years. Not sure if that's worth it, but that's probably what he'd be going for in the draft anyway.

Someone has also offered me his $2 Scooter Gennett for 2 auction dollars, so it would essentially cost me $4 for him, and I'm considering that. I'm not too familiar with NL players, but I always thought Scooter was underrated, and CBS is pretty high on him too.

Ideally I want as many cheap keepers as possible. I want to go after Trout in the draft and that will take up a lot of my budget, probably at least $55. I think if I keep Machado, Torres, Andujar, Cole, Folty, Nova, and trade for Scooter, that will leave me with $181 to draft with, and that should be plenty if I'm smart about it.
