I lean toward Adams. Better pure skills at the plate.

Dude needs to walk more. You can’t make a living in the majors just smashing mistake pitches.

My take, anyway.

OK, I’m done rambling to myself.

Do I really need another high K against in Pena on my team (in a Ks against league)

Downs: $20
I had second highest bid at $15

McDonald: $16
Next highest bid: $15!! :-D

Matt Adams: $5 (I dropped Rauch)
Nobody else put in a claim!

This is my first year doing FAAB in fantasy baseball, I’m loving it.

I’ll throw $5 at him and will be fine when somebody far outbids me.

Downs has a bunch of risks, I could easily see either Frieri or Walden being the main man. Downs is a lefty too, and not dominant at all. But you know, saves are saves, and managers aren’t always rational about these things.

Guys like Zambrano & Peavy could fetch more that they’re worth on the market right now.

If it’s season-ending or close to it, bid heavy, but don’t blow your load on a rookie before AL/NL swaps later this summer. Somewhere around $25 or $30 seems in line, but depending on your league’s FAAB tendencies, might take more.

Anyway, I’ll assume you’re referring to Anthony. In deep keeper leagues, I don’t think stashing top prospects is crazy. Rizzo is a worthy stash, and Hultzen could be valuable for the second half. Seems you could cut Delgado, provided you have to roster flexibility to stash & wait on the other two.

Board, Downs & McDonald are your priority adds. I’d only go after Adams aggressively if you’re hurting at 1B. Also wouldn’t cut Yunel loose just yet. Rauch ain’t bad, but you could lose him.

Upton. Could use the Ks (what the F, Lester?), but worry about ERA/WHIP. Take it or no?

Is he THAT good? What kind of trades in my pitching might you recommend?

I’m also a Berkman owner (but not Craig or Carpenter). Many thanks.

If you had to drop one of Friedrich or Delgado (ATL), who would it be. I might be crazy, but I am holding onto Danny Hultzen and Mike Rizzo on my bench. It’s a Keeper League, so i might be looking for lightning in a bottle. Am I crazy?

Thanks much Scott.

I just cut bait with Luebke and put Mark Reynolds on the DL, so that opens up one spot.

My list of dudes to potentially cut is: Rauch, Mujica, Cishek, and Yunel Escobar.

I’m also kinda tempted to drop Yunel for Elliott Johnson.

It also feels safe to drop Rauch (yeah, I’m in a deep league). I have Parnell, I’ll hold him.

Any help prioritizing these cuts and adds is greatly appreciated!

Not sure how, but I tend to agree that he’ll be in there somehow. And it wouldn’t be much of a speculative add if it didn’t involve speculation, now would it?

I am looking to replace one of these guys in my farm system for Adams. Who would you lose?

Jacob Turner
Zach Cozart
Devin Mesoraco
Travis D’Arnaud
Brad Peacock SP

I’ll be surprised if Bauer isn’t pitching in the bigs come July, though.

Hard to say what they have planned. Someone will be shifted to ‘pen work, it seems. See Pokey’s comment below for a little more speculation on this situation.

Patrick Corbin gets another shot on Monday to see if he can be effective but if not he might get bumped for Bauer.

Although with the way Kennedy is pitching right now he might be headed to the disgraceful list sometime soon especially when D. Hudson recovers. Who are we kidding, Kevin Towers is a wildcard. All predictions are moot.

Bauer will fit in. Real question is will there be rooms for Skaggs too?
