well that blew up quick

that just means he'll come cheaper in FAAB tomorrow.

his velocity is meaningfully over 95 and his swstr is through the roof. 17.8% is not going to be sustainable obviously but there seems to be a coherent story being told

Pearce

Ya duffy's swstr rate is obviously lol but > 12% ROS is very plausible if his velocity doesn't diminish. He has the added bonus of pretty strong control

I was actually going to post re: Duffy, his numbers feel a little deceiving because he hasn't been making more than one full trip through opposing orders. Didn't expect that though.

Shoemaker. Manaea.

God damn you manaea. Either be consistently good or comsistently terrible

Given his track record an 8 run 5th after 4 shutout with 6 ks is likely

FYI gordon is 27 games into his suspension

I'm trying to get Machado at $9 in a keeper league and the guy who has him is in first (needs steals badly). I offered him $11 Altuve and he thinks that's an overpay on his end. Is that as wtf as I think it is?

As far as machado goes I have no idea what to believe anymore. On top of everything else now he's hitting .320. I keep underestimating this guy and getting burned for it

He could very we'll be better than altuve in 4/5 categories playing a shallower position. I THINK Altuve is better ROS and a week ago this would have been an easier trade for him to make but today I don't see how he could

Julio Urias is being sent back to the minors today.

Convince me why Xander isn't a top 10 player going forward

He's doing what Correa was supposed to this year

Correa was supposed to be a 30/30 player which Boegarts has no shot at pulling off

He's basically blackmon with better average and rbi and worse runs steals and homers

Plus there's that .400 babip. Granted he's demonstrated he could pop > .350 BABIP but I don't buy .400. And 4 categories are being directly inflated by that over performance

I don't think Correa has a shot at 30/30 either.

Maybe not, but that was the expectation

That said even with him struggling he's pacing 25/25

Machado hitting 3rd looks like it's gonna stick. Good luck and God bless trying to get him now, especially if adam jones doesn't suck anymore

I have legitimately no clue what to make of ortiz

Thinking more and more about bogaerts and the people id trade him 1:1 for in a heartbeat and so far off the top of my head in no particular order I've got:

1. Fish
2. Bro
3. Goldy
4. Altuve
5. Arenado
6. Miggy
7. Rizzo
8. Machado
9. Donaldson
10. Betts
11. Bryant
12. Correa

After that im kinda struggling. All things being equal stanton belongs here but his health scares me. Marte and Springer id take over him but they seem like pointless moves where you give up value by giving away the SS. Correa's counting stats are just way too good considering his average is so bad and while it certainly stands to reason he's going to struggle in his 2nd year with adjusting the upside is way too massive when his ceiling is top 3 or better while Boegarts' ceiling is basically what we're seeing now

I hope Keuchel ****s the bed again today so I can feel completely confident about dropping him.

I know how off this sounds but honestly, if im looking to trade for an ss lindor intregues me way more than Boegarts. Lindor will still be expensive especially now but its going to be less than the cost of Boegarts where im not entirely sure the production gap between the 2 going forward is all that great

In one of my leagues I was trying to trade Bogaerts as a 6th round keeper pre-season, and all the other owners were LOLing at me for asking for a 10th rd pick. I was like WTF? ( And this league count Hits and OBP as separate cats so he's even more valuable imo )
I ended up cutting him LOLme bc I had Seager last round. of course Bogaerts was drafted at the top of the 3rd rd, and is now basically untouchable according to his owner.
Have Kang at SS, now. Would you guys give Marte or Springer + a prospect like Snell for Bog?

Or stand pat and deal with all the Kang days off and hope Bregman gets called up soon and rakes immediately?
Currently in 2nd fwiw.

Update: just traded mazara Ozuna and pearce to this guy for altuve

Can't wait to trade Altuve back to him

not sure what is there to figure about ortiz. he's the Adrian Peterson of MLB. he will keep hitting until he doesn't

I have a bunch of outfielders that I don't know what I want to do with them. We start 4, and I have Starling Marte to anchor one spot. Beyond that, who we trying to hold, and who we trying to deal from this list?

Nomar Mazara
Michael Saunders
Cameron Maybin
Billy Burns
Christian Yelich
David Peralta
