I think I got great value on nearly every single position player except for Tulo, who filled the SS spot early. I took Reyes for the value in the sixth. I love my outfield depth, and think all those guys can be breakout guys. My pitching is real weak, although they all have lots of potential... any suggestions?

If you would've took a slightly less pitcher later on... Say Oswalt instead of Price, I'd probably like the team a little more, but it's still a great H2H team. I like the hitting especially, and really that's the most important thing. Now the only thing is, if Reyes returns healthy, which I think he will, you should trade him or Upton for a power bat. You have plenty of steals.

Why are there 7 pitching and only 6 hitting cat's? Or am I blind.

You're right, I forgot to include SB's. My bad.


Grey, I was thinking the same thing. When I get news of Reyes returning, would it be crazy to deal Tulo, Reyes, or even Kemp? I didn't think I'd be able to get that much outfield depth, but I'm really happy wiht all of them. I know my leaguemates aren't crazy over Upton, so if I don't get much interest in him, would it be crazy to deal Kemp or Tulo for a top pitcher?

No, I'd want a power bat. Tulo is a power bat. I'd want a power bat instead of Upton.

Grey-

What type of power bat would you target? I was thinking more of Upton and Dotel for a Santana / Lester and closer type deal...but if you are suggesting a power bat, what type of deal would you look for, seeing as I still would have Bruce, Reimold, Jones, and Fowler along with Kemp and Pence in OF?

I said once Reyes returns. You shouldn't trade Upton right now.

Nice draft. Surprised Pence lasted to 130.

I think Grey is right about waiting on Reyes to come back. When he comes back, you're going to have value to trade to everyone in the league that doesn't own Hanley or Rollins.

At that point, we'll have a better idea of how Garrett Jones and Bruce are going to produce this year. Jones is a guy I'll be watching very closely early in the season. Based on last year, his HR/SB would project out to almost 40/20 over a full season. But his minor league stats weren't nearly as impressive.

If Jones and Bruce perform like guys you want in your utility spots, I can see trading Reyes or Tulo for a top pitcher. If they don't, you can always trade for a power bat like Grey suggested.

JMO.

Terrance- Thanks a lot for the input, always appreciated.


Is now the time to deal someone, with the Reyes news coming out, or do I wait to see him in the lineup?

Even if I should wait, I'd just like to speculate. What types of SPs or power bats should I target to get with either Reyes or Upton?

The longer you can wait the better if Reyes comes back strong. He has a big week in the lineup then you can get just about any SP. You want to trade him now, you can go for a Hamels type.
