Down to the final two weeks or so of the season. Glad you guys talked me into this.
Hoping to secure a little $$ here by the end, but it's been a fun trip regardless. Looking forward to next year with a couple young guns I picked up along the way.
$3 Rhys Hopkins
$6 Luis Severino (hate me the yanks, but this guy has skills and 6 bucks for two more years sounds reasonable)
$1 Tommy Pham - while not a world beater, and perhaps some regression... it's one freakin' buck for great OBP, a little pop and some steals
$3 Chase Anderson - Again, not a world beater, but seems to have finally figured things out. Not much downside at $3, but certainly some upside
Probably bite the bullet on some higher priced vets:
$18 Darvish - still seems a good bargain, especially if he's back in Dodgerland (they have the $$'s for sure)
$26 Jensen - Too much for a reliever, but will likely hold onto him because, well, Jensen. I could save what, 3, 5, 8 bucks and get who knows what as an alternative
$27 Blackmon - even with the 5 buck jump, still a bargain compared to other top 5-10 overall players
On the fence but probably keep
$15 Buster Posey - I'll likely keep him for consistency sake as 15 is not unreasonable. Just seems to be a lot of catcher talent out there at times.
$1 Grichuk - Probably keep him, too, if for no reason than his power potential on a solid club and, well, no downside at a buck
$ 6 Jean Segura - Could use more power, maybe he's healthier next year... but $6 bucks seems reasonable
$5 Javier Baez - Nice pop, but questions with their young position players maturing as to what his role may be?
$1 Jed Lowrie - Again, hardly a world beater, but nice OBP, and not terrible otherwise. And again, a buck
$7 Aaron Nola - Another guy who seems to have figured it out, and more K's than Chase, above.
That's 13 guys, so at least one won't make the cut. Definitely looking to swing some deals in the off-season now that I have some idea of who's who from a fantasy perspective.
