which holland?

Derek. Don't add him now, just flag throughout the season. Dealt with shoulder soreness this spring, but he's scheduled to pitch the April 10th home opener. Holland's the de facto ace with Darvish shelved. He threw five straight gems last year returning from knee surgery in a lost season.

i used to be big on him before the injuries. will track. mlb.tv

 

[venom lyrix]

What are the odds we can get a NT $ league going?

Keeper league, $200 buy in? by Sunday? lol

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I'd consider it. already in 2 leagues, though, not sure i can handle 3.

 

[venom lyrix]

I'm only in 1 and I was set to only do 1 league, but I'm getting antsy...

Quick update on two players I've been promoting. Gallo, who is my poor man's Kris Bryant for much cheaper (42 HR in the minors last year), underwent an MRI on his left heel with Dr. Crates. Texas is calling it a "bruise," but something to keep an eye on. Still worth the NA spot if your league has one plus keeper settings.

I was hopeful Gausman would solidify the final spot in Baltimore's rotation, but evidence would suggest he's starting the season from the pen. Got tagged by the Rays yesterday. Still good for 20+ starts eventually this year with his premium velocity.

Keeper league, $200 buy in?

Count me in, but I doubt we get 10 reliable players for that buy-in.

 

[venom lyrix]

Gallo won't be playing in 2015 for the MLB squad.

Gausman is a guy I like but it's about opportunity with him, and as always in the AL East pitchers are prone to a high ERA

20*? Is more like it.I ain't dropping no where near 200 bones on some fantasy baseball

Yeah, I don't expect Gallo in the majors and the bad heel doesn't help but again, value in the NA spot. For leagues that hold five keepers, he's worthy of a last spot going into 2016. I'm that high on his raw power.

Same divisional fear I have for Sanchez, plus his control is always wayward.

How about $50?

With you, me, venom lyrix , johnnyredstorm makes four. I'm pretty sure h3at23 is down as well seeing as he was trying to organize a money league earlier.

Edit: Vetoed the first trade in my second league. Josh Harrison and Melancon for Adam Jones and Robertson?!

Wouldn't mind parting ways with Coco Crisp, Garza and Nathan.

I hate playing for such little money for 162 games...it's not worth it for me. But if we get 10 I'll do it

I'm down

That's 6! I'm sure we can find 4 mo!

 

[stick]

I need a little help.. I have Arismendy Alcantara and Jake Marisnick starting in my OF :\. Which one of these guys would be the best pickup?

I was thinking about grabbing Michael Taylor for some short term production while Span/Werth are hurt. Also should I stash Castillo?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

id consider stashing rusney/yasmany/avisail and consider grabbing morse.

I have Yelich already so I'm not sure if rostering Morse would be advisable. But I have no idea what's normal when it comes to fantasy baseball . Also only working with 4 bench slots where I have Segura/Herrera/Zunino (also have Josh Hamilton but he's in my DL slot). Would you drop any of those 3 guys to grab one of those OFs or 2?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

what's the rest of your team look like?

i like zunino this year, good power, worth taking a shot that he puts it all together.

Here's a screenshot.. I added Taylor and dropped Marisnick for Castillo. Put Tomas, Garcia, and Morse on my watch list since I don't see anybody picking those guys up at the moment.

I went OF and Pitching heavy in the early rounds so my infielders are kinda lacking.. And I thought I knew baseball but those late rounds were rough . Also a few geniuses decided to make it a keeper league last minute so I took a stab at a few guys who otherwise would've went undrafted :\.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

keeper? yeah you definitely wanna take the chance stashing rusney.
