Thanks! Looks like we see eye to eye! Oh, how I wish Maddon did not have that stupid bromance with Zobrist!!!!! Would make for an easy call. Almora had a horrible Spring, so may be leaning towards Happ right now if for nothing else to piss off all the Cub Fans in my league! Maybe get an offer for him after the draft tonight? One thing for sure, Happ would go for more than DeJong in the draft. In fact, DeJong may sneak under the radar, since he is not very high on some lists, so I may be able to come back and get him for under $10. Well shoot, Happ it is! Thanks!
CUBS FANS??? With Almora having a horrible Spring, what is your take on Happ's PT? Have just over an hour to decide between keeping him or DeJong.
Yes, Nimmo is on my radar. That said, OF is the easiest position to fill other than the top 5. That is why Avi Garcia at $10 and M. Taylor at $10 were not in my keeper equation.
That said, I am still going back and forth between DeJong at $10 and Happ at $10. Rosario would be the same, but with small sample last year, do not think he will go for too much at the draft.
DeJong came out of nowhere to have a great 1st year with tremendous power numbers for the MI and qualifies at both SS and 2B. Happ is probably the better of the two and qualifies at 2B and OF, but most likely with playing for Maddon, will not be an everyday player. Leaning towards DeJong right now, but have a couple of hours to decide.
Keepers that are set: R. Hoskins $10 1B and OF, R. Devers, D. Gregorious for $10 SS for $10 and Moncada for $6 2B.
Biggest issue keeping DeJong over Happ is my MI is full no matter how it shakes out, so if I want to bid on another one, it can only be done so long as I keep my U open. If I took Happ, I could always move him to OF for draft purposes, but I am probably already going to do that with Hoskins, as I want to try to get Andujar for under $5 at CR.
No 1-2-3's this week. That said, I hope Truex not getting 3rd and me not getting 5 pts does not kill me at the end of the year!
LUCKY 18 in the 2nd spot! LOL! Was hoping 78 would push into 3rd for more bonus points!
Thanks!
Andujar is one of my potential $1 tries. It can hurt, as I throw them out early and have to take position of another player I could bid on, then have to put them on the bench. That said, with Hoskins having dual eligibility as 1B/OF, I can put him in the OF and if I get Andujar for $1, use CR spot. OF's are far easier to get in our post Auction roster fill draft for 7 spots.
Of interest, waiting to see if the team that stashed Torres last year for $6 and would have to pay $11 to keep him this year keeps him now that he essentially is a stash again?
Your Brewers may take the Central this year! Lot's of reasons to be excited by them!
OK, who replaces Greg Bird if that foot is broken? BTW< he was an option for a keeper for me, but injury history took him out of the equation.
2-18-78 Please
I think I am pretty much set on Hoskins, Devers, Moncada and Didi. Since I got Moncada for $1 in draft last year as a stash, have him for $6. Didi most likely would go for $20+ in the draft this year as a power hitting SS. Devers and Hoskins probably would take a bundle as well. Hoskins has 1b/OF dual eligibility to boot.
I think the last one is between DeJong and Happ. Happ would be a no brainer if he was not playing for Joe Maddon whom has some kind of freakish obsession with an aging Zobrist! DeJong has be a little hesitant since he came from nowhere, but love his dual 2B/SS eligibility. With that, if anything happens to either Didi or Moncada, I could take the best MI available to fill in, instead of having to focus on a specific position.
What really sucks is not being able to trade pre-draft. Being in Chicago in a league full of Cubs Fans, I could make a mint with Happ!
Thanks! Yes, I know on Holt. I really want Sanchez back at C this year, but not sure how high the bidding will go. He was a $10 Keeper for me last year.
Is Didi in any danger of losing time to Torres? With Walker, Drury and Andujar, it is a little worrisome that Torres may take some of Didi's time around midseason.
Thanks for the advice. Brock is always a good cheap late draft get to help fill the bench, as he has multiple eligibility, so can fill in for a lot of positions. That said, trying to work on my keepers for now. I have some good ones to choose from, especially in the MI, as players with good pop there tend to go for a lot of money and I could have my entire MI for $30.
Help! I can have five keepers in my Auction League.
Already set: Moncada at $6, Hoskins at $10, Devers at 10.
Considering: Dejong at $10, Happ at $10, Didi Gregorius at $10, Avi Garcia $10, M. Haniger $10, D.Pomeranz $6, D. Betances $10, A Rosario $10
Rosario did not show much last year, so not sure if he would be worth the $10.
One spot pretty much between DeJong and Didi. Yankee fans, can Didi repeat last year? Also is Betances relegated to setup?
Happ would be a no brainer if he did not play for Joe Maddon whom finds way to not get him at bats. Not sure I want him if he is purely platoon. Avi and Haniger both have potential, but qualify OF only, so bargains always out there, although both will probably go for $20 in the draft.
Pomeranz worries me with the arm flexor. That often is the first step towards elbow injuries.
I may go with both Didi and DeJong, which would give me one heck of a Middle infield with MOncada and Dejong can swing to either SS or 2B.
OK, I see now. I misjudged how much 4 hurt those that may have had bonus points for Truex at 1! Yes, I picked the right week, as first one without Harvick. Dumb luck is good!
Darn it! Not a single car in the right place though!
18,78,42 Please
4,78,42 Please
4,42,78 Please
Somebody please get rid of Keslowski! I have 2-3-4 right now and rain coming.
18.41.4 Please
Well shoot, you missed all the fun earlier.
Nobody had Jimmy?
Of course than Kyle blows a tire! Plenty of race for him to come back though. Denny appears to have engine issues.
I see lots of 11's in the picks! Could be good news for me. I went back and forth between 11 and 22 and settled on 22.
4,22,18 Please
Shoot! Forgot the Clash was today. Knew qualifying was??? Old man senility! Will get my entries in for 500 next week!
Getting a real laugh with the Raiders! They are making a mockery of the Rooney Rule as well it should be mocked. Now Gruden today says, "I believe they are considering me"???????? HE is already hired, but they just need to bring in a token first so they can say the interviewed a black coaching candidate???? How will he feel about being a token. Besides that, how is it ok, that a team cannot pick a coaching legend like Gruden and just hire him, but could do that with Dungy??
LOL! Thanks!
Thanks! I can understand our league, as there was no money on the line, but in one of my money leagues for the 3rd Place Game, opponent refused to spend $5 to pick someone up to give them a full lineup???? $425 on the line???? Mattered not, as I obliterated everyone scoring 30 more points than next closest team and 64 more than my opponent, so no player could have helped, even Todd Gurley! LOL!
Thanks! Wish I would have won in my other leagues. Won my 3rd place game in both by a mile and lead the league in points in all three of my money leagues. Had four very good teams again this year. Should have won all three leagues along with this one. In the one league, got screwed out of the playoffs by bad luck and there was no Wild Card to get in for team with most points not in. In that one, had the most points in the league three weeks running, so would have wired that one. In my other two, took bad beats a week ago, or would have won them. At least I made a profit with my two third place slots and also took money for Regular Season 3rd Place in the one league and 3rd place points in the other. The one I missed out on, I ended with the most points in the league, but no payout for that either???
I do have the $100 Free for all in my one league with my best players all set to play this week. To boot, D. Henry should be a RB1 this week with D. Murray out!
Gut is telling me to put Cohen in for J. Stewart in my 3rd place game. Not sure if that is the homer in me, or if I may be onto something with a slick field. He could take any touch of the ball to the house with one move on that field, but not sure Loggains will get him the touches???
Would be rare for these days, that it would be pretty much a wire to wire. From Week 1, you and I were neck and neck for the best team.
Sadly, this is my only Championship game. Playing for 3rd in one league and the other that only pays the top 2 took a bad beat last week, but in the running with Zeke back to win total points if I can finish off with a couple big weeks and did take 3rd in W/L for money as well.
Oh Well! Howard not too many points against me, as well as in my money league. Figured might as well play around in my non-money league.
OK, let's see how this works out! Since our league is just for fun, inserted Cohen and picked up Bears D to give me more fun watching my bears today.
And...............Maybe Hahn wanted Florial, or someone else before Rutherford, but the Yankess were only willing to go with Rutherford, then Hahn decided his potential was worth the deal???
In the end, does not matter where they are ranked. If a player is producing, they will eventually get a shot. The rankings are more perceived potential than current production.
Thank you! It is not like Hahn did not get other pieces in that trade either that would make it a decent trade on that alone. If The Sox can get his swing right and get him to play up to his potential, then it turns into a great trade!
