urbanhack, instead of bumping that post, where were you when I asked this?OK Im VERY week at 1B. Im trying to trade for one but I need to decide what to do for this upcoming week:
1) Start Yadier at C, move Santana to 1B
2) Start Goldy, hes been awful and may or may not be in a platoon (he faces 5 righties this week)
3) Pick up Todd Helton (ugh)
4) Pick up Altuve, move EE to 1B, start Aviles at IF
These options suck obviously. Leaning towards #1
Trout was tearing it up in the minors. Is he going to play regularly for the Angels?Trout called up and Abreu released.
Unless the Angels just hired Bochy, you'd have to think so.I'm assuming almost all of his AB's will come at the expense of Bourjos, until/unless they make some other roster move.Trout was tearing it up in the minors. Is he going to play regularly for the Angels?Trout called up and Abreu released.
I tend to think so too. He is 20, so it would be foolish for the Angels to bring him up at this point to be a part time player. I am glad I scooped him up.'pollardsvision said:Unless the Angels just hired Bochy, you'd have to think so.I'm assuming almost all of his AB's will come at the expense of Bourjos, until/unless they make some other roster move.'Balco said:Trout was tearing it up in the minors.

Any good second basemen getting a call up soon? Ryan Roberts is killing me but there isn't much on the WW to pick up.
Anyone to keep an eye on?
Paganyou guys like Pagan or Rios better in the long term? Both are hitting right now (Pagan surprisingly showing some pop), but who do you like better for the season?

I'm out of roster moves for the week, but I'm picking up Bass or Milone and then possibly dropping Marmol and picking up Davis, or the other of Bass/Milone, and just punting saves.anthony bass has looked goodchris davis has been on fire. i just dropped goldschmidt for him

Immediately? No. He either needs injuries or to rake in limited opportunities to start every day. Both of which are very possible.Is Craig an everyday player when he gets back?
He is scary to have to count on, but if your only 3B is Mark Reynolds then maybe you should get Alvarez.Pedro Alvarez on the cheap in a keeper???
He's a fill only player, I have Panda at 3B. But it's a five year keeper, just have to waste a valuable bench spot on him but I can do it for now.He is scary to have to count on, but if your only 3B is Mark Reynolds then maybe you should get Alvarez.Pedro Alvarez on the cheap in a keeper???

I think if you have a good 3B, and you do, then you should not take the risk in getting Alvarez. Of course, if the risk is extremely minimal, then what the hell, do it.I have Reynolds and am tired of it. I may grab Alvarez or Daniel Murphy or some other fantasy bum.He's a fill only player, I have Panda at 3B.

Six bench slots and I have two minor leaguers (Rizzo and Hultzen) and now Alvarez. My hitting is mostly set for now, I'm platooning Span, Presley and Duda in my utility spots and the rest of the lineup is top three in every offensive cat. Problem is starting pitching, Gallardo and Wainwright are killing me but it's a marathon.ETA: Aceves not helping eitherYou have to have a big enough bench to accommodate a platoon playerHe's a fill only player, I have Panda at 3B.

Well as for the "isn't much" I think you need to check your pre-season expectations and actually LOOK at what some of those guys have Actually done this yearRoberts isn't as bad as you think while Barney has been worth more and Getz twice as much'jamny said:Chris Getz, Mark Ellis, Darwin Barney, Alexei Cassilla, Maicer Izturis, Jamey Carroll, Skip Schumaker, Orlando Hudson, Jeff Keppinger, Ryan Theriot.not much.'Captain Hook said:what "isn't much"?doesn't take much to be better than Tat Man right now although I do think he will pull out of it I don't know how long it will take'ChrisCooleyFan said:'jamny said:Any good second basemen getting a call up soon?

I think some of this may be sustainable improvements, but the data is all over the place. I wouldn't be in a rush to either add or cut him.Six bench slots and I have two minor leaguers (Rizzo and Hultzen) and now Alvarez.

Well, at this point Roberts is ranked #36 among 2nd base qualifying players. With limited moves allowed in the league, I'm going to hang in there with him and hope he turns it around. Getz and Barney would be good in an AL/NL only league (maybe more for Getz if he got full time AB's)I was just hoping there was some minor leaguer that might be brought up soon that is being overlooked.I'm keeping an eye on Lombardozzi with the Nats and tracking Wong and Segura but I doubt either gets a call until September.Well as for the "isn't much" I think you need to check your pre-season expectations and actually LOOK at what some of those guys have Actually done this yearRoberts isn't as bad as you think while Barney has been worth more and Getz twice as much'jamny said:Chris Getz, Mark Ellis, Darwin Barney, Alexei Cassilla, Maicer Izturis, Jamey Carroll, Skip Schumaker, Orlando Hudson, Jeff Keppinger, Ryan Theriot.not much.'Captain Hook said:what "isn't much"?doesn't take much to be better than Tat Man right now although I do think he will pull out of it I don't know how long it will take'ChrisCooleyFan said:'jamny said:Any good second basemen getting a call up soon?

these offers are on the table? i know in h2h pitching is more valuable (people dont understand unless their in one) but id take any of those for grienke. if you can get miggy id dance naked in the streets. and fyi your pitching looks very week to meGiven my roster below, would you trade Grienke for one of the following: Miggy, Hamilton, Granderson, Longoria. 5x5 H2H league. I'm 2-1 so far and I need power (8 out of 12 in HR) and 1st in Wins, so it looks like a good deal. No way Hamilton is going to keep this pace up, but he should still end up ok.

And his GB rate has skyrocketed, which Fangraphs attributes to increased use of his two-seamer. Here's some good info. Those are some compelling numbers.
