Sorry but pretty simple here - Drop SPAN...concussions are not your friend and you already have RevereSecond drop if necessary would be Snider because who knows what the Jays will do with both Snider and Thames both hitting well - they should have traded/dumped E5 but they still have him as the starting DH
If Lee and Dunn are both on your bench, I would drop Lee.
I would not drop Masterson for sure.If it's an OBP league I'd probably agree with HH and drop Lee. Who are your other pitchers? Nolasco is so maddening.
Its a 12 team yahoo league with average and OPS. After seeing RPs go early/often I decided to forgo drafting any, and just be active on waivers.C: Yadier Molina1B: Joey Votto2B: Dan UgglaSS: Hanley Ramirez3B: Evan LongoriaOF: Andrew McCutchen, Desmond Jennings, Adam JonesUTL: Mark Reynolds, Paul GoldschmidtSP: Jon Lester, Yovani GallardoRP: Matt Moore, vacantP: Ricky Romero, Max Scherzer, Jamie Garcia, Derek HollandBench: Chase Utley, Adam Dunn, Carlos Lee, Justin Masterson, Alex Rios, Ricky Nolasco
I'd probably dump Nolasco.
Good idea to draft him first.
He went for 7 or 8 bucks today in my keeper league (12 teams, 23-man rosters, $260, 5x5, head-to-head).
Marshall went for $20 yesterday in my 12 team, H2H points, 22 man rosters, $200. I think that is overpaying for him but the guy who picked him up had Madson and his other closer is Balfour so probably felt like he needed to secure Marshall.
I don't like him at that price. The odds are still decent that the Reds will make an in-season deal for a closer and move him back to setup. If the price is right, he holds enough value in the mean time to ignore that. At $20, he better get you a full season of saves.
they can have Marmol
I like Kipnis quite a bit but with those parameters I agree that picking him up really isn't necessary. Hard not to though, I always feel the need to have guys like that even when I don't really need them.'Angry Beavers said:
I completely understand that urge as well. If I was going to cut someone, I would look at cutting Greg Holland first. How are your other closers? Closers always materalize during the sesaon as well and they are easily enough obtained (depending upon your league paramenters)if you just pay attention to the WW during the season.'Doctor Detroit said:
This is a good question. Seems so in pop up HR park, but who knows how long he'll last.
ABs are the question mark. He'll probably be no more than the big half of a platoon to start the season. If he starts facing LHP on a regular basis because of injuries, he might a good pick up.
Wilson has had shoulder tightness but pitched well Monday vs KC. We was supposed to pitch today and tomorrow, so that is worrisome. As far as Romo, he's fine. Not sure if it'd be Casilla or Romo if Wilson can't go.ETA: That said I just added Casilla in two of three leagues. In the third league I have Wilson and Romo, oof.
I picked up Casilla in the league I have Wilson as a closer ( 16 team dynasty). Waiting in two other leagues as I have decent closers and limited bench spots. Casilla closed last year when Wilson was hurt at the end of the year, but you never know.
I'm monitoring, but not picking up.
He is making strides. Worth a flier as a late round draft pick or FA pickup if you have a roster spot available.
20 HRs seems wildly optimistic. The other numbers seem possible but are far from a sure thing.
Drafted him in a keeperI'm holding
No, he just stinks.
He may have bad BO, but somebody who hits .270 with 70+runs, 80+rbi, 20 hrs, and 20 steals is a fantasy asset in my book.
Yeah he's done that a total of one year in a row.
I think Frenchy is an across the board regression risk but he's better than Carlos Lee
I am holding Hultzen and the fact he'll play his home games in Safeco gives him an advantage over almost everyone, but we know a little more about Miller I think. His K rates and WHIP are steady through his rise through the minors and he's going to be a good fantasy pitcher at some point.Tough to tell with these young pitchers though, both could be aces going forward, one could be great one could suck or both could completely suck. That's what makes sitting on young arms so dicey but with your league rules, you should try.
Yeah, I don't really want to cut either given the league rules. I'm also holding onto Bryce Harper. I found it hard to resist the allure of cheap keepers during the draft, but I left myself with a short bench until June, or whenever they get called up. Maybe I just hold onto them all, and throw in the towel before this year even starts, as better for me in the long-term.
He's been drafted in every re-draft league I've seen.
I've been on his bandwagon since last year.
Rascal said he's monitoring, not picking up.I've got a full cup of the Cain Cool-Aid
Right...it wasn't necessarily directed at you.:waves:Rascal said he's monitoring, not picking up.I've got a full cup of the Cain Cool-Aid
he is available in my 12 team league...although I'm contemplating picking him up and dropping frenchie.I wouldn't contemplate it much longer.
was drafted in my league friday night'Annyong said:I wouldn't contemplate it much longer.
MELANCONBeckett likely to miss at least first turn and Aceves will start on Saturday
Beckett now not to miss any starts, but I agree with you that Melancon is still the pickup here.
he may be worthless this year, but then carlos lee isn't going to do much either as Eephus pointed out.
