@Feeding the Abscess, Should mention that Jemile’s BABIP is .250 this season

@TheNewGuy, I’d stay with Jemile. Unlike Rickie, Jemile’s batted ball profile is about the same as it was last season, when his BABIP was .354. Once that corrects, his improved walk rate will have him on first base pretty frequently.

@TheNewGuy, I like Davis for steals, Revere if you want a higher average.

I can’t see Trout going any lower than round 5 next year, and in a keeper league I wouldn’t trade him for anyone. If he ends up with something like a .310-15-40 line for this year, I could see him going at around pick 15.

As for his value as of right now, I’d rate him just below McCutchen.

Also talking of speedsters, what the heck is wrong with Jemile Weeks? Has he caught Rickie’s crapness disease or something, 30 steals with a .300 AVG last year, and ok 10 steals this year but most were before I even picked him up.

Have him in a deep 16 teamer so there is shizz all on the wire, not sure any of these guys are better options:
Casilla, Greene (don’t know which, hardly matters), I guess the only possible guy is Herrera who’s just been dropped. Roll with him over Weeks?

Revere or Davis? I’ve always found Revere to be an available source of steals when he’s playing and he’s playing right now.

Also talking about speedsters, Mike Trout is gonna be the next elite speedster without much doubt. Awesome pick up for me in one of my leagues, where do you see him being drafted next year and what is his value right now?

@El Guey, Depends on needs. I’d lean towards Plouffe, but if you’re okay in steals, it’s Davis

@yeah!, When he’s getting regular playing time, like he is now, only Campana can rack up steals at the same rate, but Davis is superior elsewhere and plays in a great lineup. Venable is great if you can sit him at home, same with Maybin.

How does Rajai stack up to similar SAGNOF candidates?

Q Berry, W Venable, E Herrara, T Campana, J Pierre?

@harkrider, Youk. I’m sure you can find something better. Sounds like a shallow league if you’re considering dripping one of those pitchers.

drop Maybin for Davis? I’m strictly keeping Maybin at this point for SBs cause he sucks

Looking at adding Davis, I need some speed until Boneface returns. However I am not sure who to drop.

Youk or an SP (Daniel Hudson, McDonald, Marcum, Morrow, Moore, Hanson)

Youk fills my 2 UTIL spots sometimes and the others in that slot are Rios, Allen Craig, or Jason Heyward

We have a 150 starts limit, so I try to carry between 5-6 SP’s
