who is this Martin guy. He was dropped in my h2h league.
I really don't know anything about him except he plays for Texas and can hit 10-15 hrs and steal 40 bases.

What is Pineda's upside? Can he put up good numbers this year or is he still a year or two away? And are they going to limit his innings?
I was asking what the catch was. Doesn't mean its a BS trade. He offered it to me, so obviously he feels Hawkins will be able to hold onto the job.

And for the record, I'm not upset with you............He(We'll call him Dowski) is just a ####### idiot.
I would have taken the trade too

Good stuff in here.

I don't think its that bad a trade, though he should have asked for Axford. Martin is a 10/35 guy hitting down in the lineup and he's a negative in obp. He's a 4th or 5th outfielder in a 12 team league. He should go for $3-5 at auction. Plus, he doesn't project to have much growth.
On the other hand, Hawkins has a much lower floor, but also a much higher ceiling. It's not particularly likely, but he could hang onto the closer job all season, if he does he'll be useful even with poor ratios and few Ks. So he's giving up slightly better than replacement production for a lottery ticket.

Any closer has value in fantasy. The Rockies seem to be serious about giving Hawkins the job. He's the kind of pitcher that can be effective in Coors although every Rockies pitcher takes a hit because of the ballpark. Rex Brothers did nothing in spring training to threaten Hawkins.

I've heard that Hawkins is there basically to keep Brothers' value down in arb. If that's the case and one is inclined to believe a conspiracy like that, it'd take a lot to unseat him.

Hawkins is certainly capable of screwing the pooch all by himself but he has the job now.

Best long-term upside as a starter for this season?
Scheppers
J. Paxton
Roenis Ellis
T. Milone

I'd go Scheppers because his role is most secure. Paxton also has some upside.
I don't like Milone's HR and SO rates. Elias is a complete mystery.

Is it worth trading Alex Gordon for pitching help if there's guys like the following on the wire:
Chris Carter
Will Venable
Avisail García
Dexter Fowler
Oswaldo Arcia
Corey Hart
It's an AVG/OPS league FWIW.

Yeah I'd think so. I'd pick up Garcia or Venable

I was thinking the same thing but his career numbers are pretty terrible, he hasn't really hit since he was in AAA in the PCL back in 2006.rodg12 said:

After Cain's so-so performance last night; is anyone rolling with Ubaldo tonight?

Yeah and there's some talk about him platooning with Murphy. Will keep my eye on him, but no need to move on him right now.

Too risky for my blood. I'd leave him on the bench against the BoSox.
ETA: Boston torched him last year for 7 earned in 1 2/3 innings.

Have this offer that's intriguing me but I have no clue what to think because so many people are all over the place on Wheeler.
The offer is Wheeler and Yellich for L.Lynn and B.Miller. I have Lynn and keep seeing Wheeler ranked above him by a lot which would make this trade an easy one for me. Are Lynn and Wheeler close?
I'm worried I overvalued Lynn and don't see what everyone else see's in Wheeler.

I think they're close. Wheeler has a good combo of good stuff that gets both whiffs and a lot of weak outs, the walk rate will probably haunt him for the foreseeable future. I think if he does try to pitch to more contact, something else may go with it.
Lynn isn't exactly a strike throwing machine either, but he's thrown enough to stick and should compile enough wins and Ks to be solid. If he keeps up that low HR rate, he could beat Wheeler in all 4 cats.

Decided to take the chance not just SSS with Bonifacio and Smoak.

Yeah him pitching in Cleveland last year offered some security with a bigger ballpark, and weaker division. I think he is strictly a matchup pitcher until he proves otherwise.

Sorry for the confusing post earlier.
I own Cain and he was so so yesterday like I said. I was trying to gauge everyone's opinion on if ubaldo was worth the risk tonight.
I am contemplating Hector Santiago as well now.
