Draft and Trade Talk Message Board

This is probably the most insightful post I've seen from you. Actually has a purpose, context, and prompts for a productive discussion. Nice job! And I can relate. I'm dealing with: J. Bautista, J. Kipnis, J. Cueto, D. Freese, H. Ramirez, J. Reyes, and B. Beachy DL and injury situations throughout my 3 teams.

Trading and FA players help adjust and support rosters during DL situations, yes. However, timing and patience with players and making moves I think make the most difference.

just like NTL. NTB

You don't need speed for your roster. You need power. I like homer bailey a lot for this year, but u can get him cheaper, much cheaper

Don't touch weaver. K/9 ratio has gone down each year for the last 3 years. He isn't someone I would target in my draft especially for a 4th round pick. Keep lee, get a gon another way. What I would do

I like J. Upton a lot

I'm not such a fan of A. Hill. He has produced well at 2B the last two years, but I believe in J. Altuve a lot more.

They are balanced out trades in terms of ADP and how they were ranked for drafting. But I prefer mccutchen and altuve because I prefer to roster altuve at 2B over A. Hill

Steve Cishek

Do u need them for HLDs? Not sure why you're interested in them, in case santos becomes the CL for TOR again?

14 team leagues, huge rosters, don't leave much in FA, but I think I'd save that #1 probity for someone a little more "serious" to pick up

M carpenter i think is favorable over gyorko because of the cardinal offense he is batting in. sD doesn't have much of a line up for gyorko. M. Carpenter holds more position value.. Gyorko is a fine pick up and has the potential, lacks the support of a line up line m carpenter is fortunate enough to hit in

Kendrick.... Wouldn't consider him over either of the two

Bumgardner 23 year old ace

Saves come and go in closers, easy to add a closer from free agents for saves than it is to find a pitcher like bumgardner. 23 yr old that pitches how he does... In a keeper league have to have him

It's chapman I know, keep bumgardner please

Bump.

Balfour isn't bad, but isn't great. I owned him all last year, and was surprised/disappointed when he lost the CL job, but he gained it back to finish decently well. So Balfour comes to mind first because he lost his CL job last year, OAK isn't afraid to make that move, and he does have performances like he did tonight. Beta court comes to mind as the next guy, just because of the team he's on, and idk but I don't think he's too stellar, but should have the CL no problem

Balfour is a switch I would do of those 4 , but for who idk

Veras I wouldn't touch
Parnell, is ok, NYM winning season unknown, so limited save chances possibly,

Probably keep the 4 u have, keep an eye on fujikawa, if he does become closer.

Bump.

I'm looking to upgrade though, not get SP from FA

I have 3 C when we start 2 so C have more value because we start too, I'm thinking I'll just talk to him if I can get more for Felix like ur saying

I have 4 RP, and need an upgrade at SP, not RP

Weakers K/9 has gone down each year for the last 3 years. And idk, I think I could pull someone better than weaver for kinsler/m. Montero

RP Craig Kimbrel
RP Joe Nathan
P Hiroki Kuroda
P Joel Hanrahan
P Tim Hudson
P Alexi Ogando

So he's going to need Felix, told him I wouldn't target him though out of respect. But talking to him because he's the first to show interest in m. Montero

I so yeah, I do want Felix, don't think he will give him up even if I offer Medlen as well

Bump.
