When the change up isn't located the BB's and HR's come in waves. He had 10 BB's in 24 IP's before going gopher against Chicago. I saw the fangraphs article too and while he may be better than he was 2008-2011 it's a tough sell that he's even close to 2007 form again. If he maintains that K rate 4 something/1.3 will be easier to stomach though, and there are K's to be found in his next 3 matchups - KC, Toronto, and San Diego.

Fangraphs projections put me at 4.05 by end of the season with the current staff. A trade for a solid to great, but injured type (Cueto or Grienke) would put it to a projected 3.99.Both are likely last place, with a shot at 2nd or 3rd to last.Not much leverage on even making those types of deals. Even with speed to burn and saves to add in, the rest of the league is so unbelievably bad in steals that they all have hope of a top 3 finish by doing nothing. I've got 50 SBs. 3rd to last place ranges from 27 to 20.I might be able to sell somebody on the value of breaking loose from that stalemate, but we'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAC_32 12,542 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Middle reliever's are your friend, use them to get back in the hunt with ratios. I often times have an era around 4 in May, but chip away at it throughout the last 4+ months. Obviously you're playing from a bit behind, but you can still get to middle of the pack at least, I'm sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even if his AVG regresses to something with a normal BABIP, he'll still be a top ten fantasy SS. The Brewers got a very nice return for two months of rent-a-Greinke.

scrumptrulescent 10 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 If you're going to ask questions like that you should expect to get jabbed.His question was fine. I thought it was tooI'm having a tough time reconciling these two bolded statements. Own your opinions man.I didn't jab him, but I expected others to. I realized when he posted a question a couple of weeks ago that he plays in way too shallow of a league for me to offer any advice when he does ask questions. Don't know how to manage those types of leagues. Also realize there will be the typical 6 team league comment. This is the internet.The league is shallow with a wacky setup, but it is challenging because of the short benches. Yes there are great options on the wire most often, but if you drop a guy for the hot bat it can cost you since we're running a marathon and not a sprint here. You may see a lot more hitters on our wire than in a larger league, but it doesn't mean the league isn't still competitive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doctor Detroit 20,905 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 MAC 32 seems to relish being butthurt. The old subtitle included the phrase "mock others," that's what we do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, just thin skinned when it comes to foolishness. If you're going to mock at least be funny. 6 team league was kiiinda funny 6 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shadyridr 14,318 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 In a shallow league like that, Id have no problem dropping Lance & Konerko for Segura and Marte. If it doesnt work out just pick them back up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scrumptrulescent 10 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 In a shallow league like that, Id have no problem dropping Lance & Konerko for Segura and Marte. If it doesnt work out just pick them back up Berkman is already gone for Segura. Konerko can still hit a HR and I need a 1B so he stays. I'm okay without Marte for now I think. Don't really have anyone else to give up for Marte, unless I give up a pitcher and that isn't happening. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shadyridr 14,318 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I've been holding Berkman and Konerko since the start, but someone dropped Marte and I'm SB challenged to say the least. One of these turds need to go. Which over the hill 1B eligible should I dump for Marte?ETA: Segura was dropped as well. Better option than Marte? 6 team league?That's funny. You're funny. 10 team with really short benches. H2H and bench spots are filled with SP's because we don't have a per week innings limit. It makes sense to roll with only the minimum hitters so there are a lot of good options on the wire for hitting, not so much for pitching.Well it's a good question. Segura is currently the #2 MIFer in both avg and OBP leagues and for perspective, the #10 SS is Marwin Gonzalez. Wish I played in a league with people that dumb. The league format is what sounds dumbThat may be the case but I'm living in that house this year so I'm forced to abide by house rules.Agree. Adapting your strategies and player valuations for unique league rules is important.I don't think Segura's AVG and power are sustainable but his speed should be. Even if his AVG regresses to something with a normal BABIP, he'll still be a top ten fantasy SS. The Brewers got a very nice return for two months of rent-a-Greinke.So you're saying you believe Segura is legit enough to stay a top 10 SS for the year. If that is the case, should I maybe consider moving Castro for another piece on my roster?Not a bad idea, but I suspect you won't be excited about the return.So far, this has been a great year to avoid Top SS's outside of Tulo. Most people that went cheap at SS are probably happy they did.So, the guys currently rolling with the Alcides/EverCab/Lowrie types probably aren't looking to give up anything meaningful for an upgrade and anybody really desperate at SS would've picked up Segura by now.Nothing wrong with trading Castro, but I wouldn't think you could get much for him.Depends on who I'm dealing with. I need to find the right guy who perceives Castro's value higher than maybe it is. I already sent one, aiming real high, offering Castro/Choo for McCutchen. The other guy is rolling with Rollins, and is also in the bottom quarter in the rankings right now. Why would he trade for Castro when he could have picked up Segura for free?

ESPN doesn't hurt either since I think they have Castro as the #2 overall SS now that Reyes is hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wrigley 3,446 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Middle reliever's are your friend, use them to get back in the hunt with ratios. I often times have an era around 4 in May, but chip away at it throughout the last 4+ months. Obviously you're playing from a bit behind, but you can still get to middle of the pack at least, I'm sure.What if you've got 5 closers rostered?But otherwise I agree. Scavenger wins are also nice.
