@beardcrabs, Yeah, that’s why I think it’s close. The main factor is that I’m not a believer in Rios at all and think if Beltran stays healthy for the most part, he will be significantly better than Rios.

@Tom Jacks, so sure about the trade… Stras will be shut down after 160 IP and Beltran is one play away from hurting his Knee(s) again…

@moses, I think it’s close depending on when Strasburg reaches his innings limit, but I’d still do it because Beltran should be much better than Rios going forward.

@VinWins, Thanks! Good luck with your league, I’m sure you’ll be able to gain some ground over the rest of the year. And yeah, it’s nice to see Lawrie turning things around. Hopefully his power improves too.

@Mike, I like it. I don’t trust Zimmerman at all and Jones is a nice upgrade over Zobrist.

Looks like Lawrie should be pretty close to Grey’s preseason numbers. Like you mention, power has been down. He has the average right on at .290. He’s on pace for 97 runs (Grey: 90) and 23 steals (24). Grey had 20 HR and 70 RBI for him; currently on pace for 15 and 62. A couple more good weeks could take care of that, though.

I’m in an OPS league for the first time, and did not draft well for that category. Scoring a 1 with an OPS of .744, so I appreciate your posts. Thanks!

Traded Ryan Zimmerman and Zobrist for Adam Jones (have Kipnis to play second)….thoughts?
