@Tim, All great options. I’d probably go with Samardzia and Minor. Really like Fiers but he is in Coors.

@Anthony, Sorry I missed this question Anthony. I hope everything turned out alright, I might grab Corbin anyway he gets Houston this week.

@Blairtch, he is not like i said i wasn’t chasing i was set but now i’m back in that chasing mode a little late casilla might be the best saves prospect unless you know of someone totally under the radar.

Blairtch@ In a fantasy h2h 12 man pts league. Score is 230-228 my lead coming into today. I have sheets pitching tonight for sunday night baseball @ NYM, lance lynn @ Phi and gallardo @ Hou. My opponent only has cueto pitching. Do u think this should be enough or take my chances with another pitcher like Corbin vs the nats ?

@All Braun No Brains, Yeah, I’m not convinced Casilla’s fully lost the job yet either. If Jim Henderson is still available, he could be a good source of saves.

@iaoto, I think Jay is your best bet if you need runs

I wasn’t really concered about saves and I made a trade sending cishek away and then huston street got hurt I could use another closer, but this is a heavy saves league and everyone is mainly snatched up. Any chance Casilla gets back to the closer role?

@Ari, I’d want Halladay.

@smegma, Sure. I especially like his start in KC.

12 team keeper league.
Was offered Mike Fiers and a 1st round pick for Roy Halladay and a 22nd round pick.
Should I consider this trade or is it as crazy as I first thought it was?

Is Straily worth a ww claim or just hope he clears waivers? He was dropped yesterday and clears tomorrow morning.

@Real McCoy, If you think you can make up ground in SB I’d drop Johnson, if not I’d drop Revere.

By: Blairtch

Blairtch — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 02:40:15 +0000

@Kid A, Rizzo should be owned,, but won’t offer much in the way of speed. Marte could be a good power/speed combo, and I’d want Jay for avg/speed.

@RGP, thanks for reading!

C. Johnson, Craig, Revere, or B Phillips

Quick Q:

Couple of points up on the competition. Looking to pump up my avg./speed while maintaining as much pop as possible.

Rizzo, Marte or Jay ROS?

Gracias

I own Rogers in two deep formats but have to point out this start was against the Astros, who are terrible against anyone who isn’t a Milwaukee reliever.

Ruggiano can’t keep a BABIP over .400 forever, right? That’s Austin Jackson’s job

i thought it was monday when i saw your post. i figured my starting pitching staff must have really roofied me.

thanks for the weekend post!

@Rags, I’d stick with Altuve and and win the whole thing. The keepers you’d get in return don’t seem substantial enough to risk it.

By: Rags

Rags — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 18:44:04 +0000

In first in an NL-only roto keeper league by 14 points, most of that in hitting. Would you trade Altuve (who can’t be kept with the Astros moving) to the team in fifth for Taillon and a pick?

We could conceivably drop 5 total points in SB, R, and OBP and still be well in first.

Our replacement for Altuve would be Denorfia, Reed Johnson, Dobbs, or Valbuena type player.

Would you rather have Rubby de la Rosa at 6 for next year or Taillon who is free to keep until he’s called up but 10 once he’s up.

@Blairtch, Thanks. And you’re right I should clarify a bit more. I’m looking to fill a need in Runs, and any 1Bs/Avg would be frosting.

@Deadwoods, Your pitching actually seems pretty strong to me, but if you think you need another ace it looks like you could spare Reyes.

By: Deadwoods

Deadwoods — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:58:41 +0000

I’m fourth in a 10-team head-to-head. I’ll make it into the playoffs but I’ll likely get crushed because of weak pitching. Would it be suicidal to offer Reyes for Zimmerman, even though SS is thin and I’d have to ride the WW for SS from here on in. I’m taking into consideration that Fiers has an innings limit and Marcum’s production upon his return is unknown. My players are below. Thanks

@iaoto, Depends on need. Ruggiano is the most well rounded but I’d grab Morales for power and Jay for speed/avg. But if you need them ranked I’d probably go: Ruggiano, Morales, Jay.

By: iaoto

iaoto — Sat, 11 Aug 2012 17:04:08 +0000

How would you rank Morales, Jon Jay and Ruggiano?
