Hey Grey. $260 AL only 5×5 auction league. Bautista and Longoria will be protected, let’s assume all other 3B are available for auction. Keep Michael Young for $20?

We start 4 OFs, and I have Stanton, Cruz, Pence, and Bonifacio (if I don’t use him at SS in place of unsexy Alexei).

From your earlier post today…I’ve been targetting Boesch, Belt, or Delmon…possibly even Pagan given my roster makeup and added cat. My 1B and DH are Votto and Hosmer so Belt doesn’t bring a lot of added value to me there.

It’s a 3-year keeper league where players move up 2 rounds from the previous year and we are in round 12…I’m debating dropping the bomb on Victor Martinez and using my DL spot for him all year (have to be on DL60 to utilize this).

Is what I’m going to get from one of these players this year enough to give up what I can get from Vic over the next 3 years? I hate drafting C so having one locked up for value is tempting.

I don’t pick for 12 picks after this so I have to think one of these guys slips through…probably not Belt though.

6×6 weekly H2H, each cat a win…strikeout/walk differential is 6th category.

I’m wearing my WWGD bracelet…WWGD?

@chata, Doesn’t sound that objective…

@Grey,

no .
now we’re entering into reverse-jinx territory .

i don’t give a shizz what he does this year ,
i’m ignoring his existence .

maybe next year it will wear off .

@Hardcore Midget, 20 homers is optimistic, but realistic… Floor’s nothing, ceiling’s 25 homers… He’ll get RBIs and less runs from the bottom of the order. Shouldn’t hurt you in average.

@chata, So objectively you’re a fan…

Grey, don’t see any projections listed in the post. What is your floor/ceiling feeling on Morel?

By: chata

chata — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:45:00 +0000

@ Grey :

to be completely forth-coming ,
morel , pretty much , single-handedly took me out
of contention in my Razzball league , last year .

i successfully ron popeil-ed him for most of the year ,
but when september came around , he whupped my azz .

i just couldn’t believe it was happening .
caught me like a deer in the head-lights .

@Grey, Thanks, just saw you answered this question like eight times on the previous thread–sorry!

@Rob, They don’t even play in the same league! Kidding. I know what you meant.

Apropos of nothing, Pettitte just signed a minor league contract with the Yanks. My draft is tomorrow night, so I won’t know much more then than I do now. Is he worth a flyer?

By: Rob

Rob — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:34:55 +0000

@Grey, Yeah. And Bautista’s list doesn’t look much better. Jeff Manship, Scott Baker, Michael Dunn, Chad Gaudin, Ian Snell, Hunter Jones, Clay Buchholz, and Hideki Okajima (with a couple bombs off Chris Ray and Jeremie Guthrie in early September).

Like I said, it’s not that it means anything. I just thought it was interesting to note. If it were 8 HR off Halladay, I’d be more impressed. But his list doesn’t necessarily make me less impressed or anything.

@Rob,

which is why i added the word “potential” .
to take into account whether hanley hits 3 home runs
or 30 , this year .

@royce!,

much agreed .

@chata, On my fun little spreadsheet I did for my 5×5 league, the difference between SS eligibility and 3B eligibility worked out to about $2.1 (in favor of the SS). It makes a difference, yeah, but not enough of one to get worked up about. There’ll be a lot of factors that will affect him far more than that.

You see that those Westboro nut jobs protested a Radiohead concert? It’s like they think that god is against boredom.

@Rob, Sure, but he still hit the homers.

By: Grey

@Steve, Wieters

By: royce!

royce! — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:24:10 +0000

@chata, I’m expecting Reyes to miss enough time that Hanley keeps his SS eligibility, but If not, I’d say decreases. 3B may be shallow, but it seems you can get better stats out of a late flyer than with SS.

By: Grey

Grey — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:23:36 +0000

@chata, If he gains 3rd base eligibility, then he’s not going to lose value unless he doesn’t hit again this year.

By: Rob

Rob — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:23:36 +0000

His September home runs came off Brad Penny, David Huff, Frank Herrmann, Rick Porcello, David Pauley, Tim Collins, Chad Durbin, and Everett Teaford.

Not that that means anything. Those are the types of pitchers a hitter should be picking on. But it’s still worth noting.

By: Steve

Steve — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:19:29 +0000

Gray! Drafting in a keeper league, have to choose between Wieters and Matt Moore…Already strong pitching, all other starting positions filled. Wanting the best player overall. Thoughts?

By: chata

chata — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:18:09 +0000

james loney once hit 9 (nine) home runs in september .
cust kayin’ .

here ,
dispute this assertion :
hanley ramirez’ potential value for 2013 ,
decreases if/when he loses SS eligibility .
