Bud Norris, Jeff Samardzija, Daniel Bard, and John Danks just got dropped in my league. Would you drop Francisco Liriano or mike minor for any of these guys.

H2h league

@Fenst, I wouldn’t touch Porcello in any league.

Did I miss Porcello or are you not a fan?

I’m drafting him over almost everyone you have on this last group of 20 outside of maybe Norris.

Would like to see some more K/9 out of him but I think it will develop a bit as he is still 23. Good bb/9 and k/bb ratios point towards better surface stats than last year as well. What are your thoughts?

@dingbat,
Thanks. Just traded Ellsbury for Longoria straight up. Working on Jennings for McCann.

Man, not even a peep about Billingsley in the also-rans? He’s fallen THAT far?

Grey- I’m adopting you as my go to fantasy guru. 1- because you make me laugh and no other blog-pert does that 2. your logic on players makes sense and 3. you are man enough to rock a stash
It could also be because you say nice things about my keepers
So.. I just made an offer on CAnibal- I’m changing his name (if the Latin players can do it so can I) to make him sound more macho

@Grey, yeah I’d probably drop him if he has like a 6.00 ERA in April unless his peripherals are ungodly good, but FWIW, as long as the Royals break camp with five starters, his first start should be in OAK, so he’s not even bad choice just to draft as a week 1 streamer.

@Tony, It’s a little clunky to read, but I think it might be better in the long run.

Alexi Ogando why no ranking.

@Grey, That was my favorite tier so far and I didn’t even own the dude. Two LOLs. If VinWins puts together that spreadsheet of tiers again, he’ll have to do some serious paraphrasing on a few of the tier names. This one, not so much.

****THERE’S A NEW POST****

@Mark, Yeah, but if he goes out and shizzes the bed in his first two starts how much of a leash are you gonna give him?

@Ryan G, Thanks!

@Grey, Yeah I hear ya. If I was an AL-Only player (I do NL-Only sometimes but never done AL-Only) I’d probably reach for Duffy. In mixed, I probably won’t draft him in leagues where you’ll see fewer than 80 SP rostered, but anything deeper than that and he’s someone I’ll consider spending one of my last couple picks on depending on how my pitching staff looks. Those picks are generally all about upside, and despite his struggles and the lack of buzz, Duffy has more than most of the pitchers in this range. I’d rather have him than a lower upside guy like Vance Worley, or a better prospect who may not be on a roster like Julio Teheran, or an inferior (fantasy) prospect with less MLS service like Jarrod Parker. I’d take him over Johan too. In leagues were guys like Minor, Sale, Niese, and Peacock are still on the board in the last two rounds (actually scratch Minor, he probably won’t be because he’ll already be on my roster), I’ll probably ignore Duffy, but if those guys are all off the board and I have a couple picks left, all bets are off.

I don’t care what anybody says, Johan Santana will take me to the fantasy title this year like Chris Carpenter did for me in 2008! And that’s me quoting me!!

@Grey, next year let’s get into the same league. Maybe 14 of us regular commentators in here. We’ll even let you be the Commish

Great reference on Mystery in Buerhle’s post.
