| 9:20 |
: Had some technical issues in here, but we should be good to go now.
|
| 9:20 |
: Billy Hamilton goes $22 to Gianella
|
| 9:20 |
: Reminder, this is an OBP league now and batting average has been killed!
|
| 9:22 |
Morning Jason. |
| 9:22 |
Does Hamilton’s price vs LABR reflect that change?
|
||||||
| 9:24 |
How are you this morning Jason?
|
||||||
| 9:25 |
Do Australia games count if no one from the US sees them? |
| 9:25 |
Ha, quiet night in the big city?
|
||||||
| 9:26 |
: Hey, it’s me, Pedro Alvarez…..and I go to ESPN for $24
|
| 9:26 |
Another OBP stud! |
| 9:27 |
Zola pays the price for Kimbrel. Wonder if he’s trying his elite closer paired with lower tier pitching strategy here. |
| 9:27 |
Is it the feed, or is the auction proceeding this slowly?
|
||||||
| 9:28 |
agreed Mike, seems a bit lagging |
| 9:28 |
: My boy Carlos Gomez goes $31 to Lenny. Over/under on Lenny dropping $130 on his outfield?
|
| 9:29 |
Over |
| 9:29 |
over… lol |
| 9:30 |
: McCutchen goes $38
|
| 9:31 |
To? |
| 9:31 |
Cargo, more or less Jason?
|
||||||
| 9:32 |
$37 |
| 9:32 |
: Wilderman purchased CarGo. Wilderman also gets Ryan Braun for $34
|
| 9:33 |
Unless Lenny pays 20+ for Maybin the under might come into play |
| 9:33 |
: Bryce Harper $33 to Hertz
|
| 9:33 |
Burn, baby, burn… roto inferno! |
| 9:33 |
: If Lenny isn’t going the over, it will be the first time I’ve seen him go cheap on the OF
|
| 9:33 |
yup |
| 9:34 |
: Freddie Freeman goes to McCaffrey for $32. Figured he would roster him – loves him
|
| 9:34 |
sure does |
| 9:34 |
how can I listen/watch the auction, besides the chat/spreadsheet?
|
||||||
| 9:35 |
Who’s doing the call at Sirius?
|
||||||
| 9:35 |
: Jansen $22 to Wilderman. That’s 3 players for him for $89 (Cargo, Braun, Jansen)
|
| 9:35 |
Am I the only one concerned with Waino’s IPs last year?
|
||||||
| 9:35 |
no |
| 9:36 |
: Rosenthal $20 to McCaffrey
|
| 9:36 |
: Posey $24 to Cockcroft
|
| 9:37 |
I’m computer problems during my own draft hungover does that count?
|
||||||
| 9:37 |
How much for Kimbrel and Jansen? |
| 9:37 |
: We’re going to have to bump up the amount of clicks during a break. We’re already over the threshold for new people to get in. Justin Upton $28 to Gianella
|
| 9:37 |
What’s amazing to me is that after repeated lack of success, teams continue to employ the same strategies. Gotta go into the auction with multiple strategies and let the room dictate what to focus on.
|
||||||
| 9:38 |
Will be interesting to see price on Chapman
|
||||||
| 9:39 |
I would have tossed his name out there early |
| 9:39 |
: Hanley $30 to Kreutzer
|
| 9:39 |
Yes, Tim. I’d avoid him. Good time to nominate him.
|
||||||
| 9:40 |
don’t leave us hanging on Einstein’s quote….
|
||||||
| 9:40 |
$10 could be a nice buy if he returns on schedule
|
||||||
| 9:41 |
just signed up for sirius. assuming rotowire fantasy baseball channel? sorry to bother.
|
||||||
| 9:41 |
LOL. never knew that was attributed to him |
| 9:41 |
: Cliff Lee $27 for Brian Walton
|
| 9:41 |
True, but I prefer to let other teams roll the dice this early. |
| 9:42 |
Like the Cole buy. I knew Gene was bullish on him.
|
||||||
| 9:42 |
that makes three |
| 9:42 |
: Curious to see what the Padres pitchers like Ross, Cashner, and Johnson go for. Rosario $18 to Wilderman. That’s 4 players for $117
|
| 9:43 |
: Jay Bruce $28 to Hertz
|
| 9:43 |
that is a freaking deal on Cole. |
| 9:43 |
i don’t see Kimbrel on the sheetet
|
||||||
| 9:44 |
some big dollars for closers
|
||||||
| 9:44 |
How many teams other than Lenny will be blowing off saves this year? |
| 9:45 |
The quote I was thinking of was “There are only two things that are infinite, the universe and stupidity…..and we’re still not sure about the universe.” |
| 9:45 |
: Gio $18 to Melnick
|
| 9:45 |
Hertz spending the money early. |
| 9:46 |
Told Lenny to upgrade to a Chevy, wouldn’t listen |
| 9:46 |
: Tulo for $29 to Kreutzer. Gianella got to $28, but ever true to his values, wouldn’t go up
|
| 9:47 |
Peter loves his Tulo |
| 9:47 |
: Zimmermannnnnnn $18 to Zola
|
| 9:47 |
: Yelich $16 to Gene
|
| 9:48 |
: Heyward $25 to Walton
|
| 9:50 |
The unfortunately named Doug Fister for 14 |
| 9:50 |
Peter $160 spent on 5 |
| 9:50 |
: Molina $18 to Trachtman
|
| 9:50 |
love say hey for a bounce-back year. freak injury. |
| 9:50 |
Nice price on Zimmerman. |
| 9:51 |
: will be a break in 7 bids fro now
|
| 9:51 |
: Adrian Gonzalez $24 to Trachtman
|
| 9:52 |
: Carpenter $23 to Gardner
|
| 9:52 |
: Chapman the only true cheap guy so far
|
| 9:53 |
: Jason Grilli — skills are there – goes $15 to Gene
|
| 9:53 |
clearing out the top-tier real early, should make for a very interesting middle
|
||||||
| 9:53 |
Like that buy on Grilli
|
||||||
| 9:54 |
Jason, you were great on RotoExperts with Scott and Ronis. How was the “studio”?
|
||||||
| 9:54 |
: Pence $26 to Melnick…..we may get the over!
|
| 9:55 |
: Jean Segura $25 to Trachtman
|
| 9:55 |
Pence a Lenny fav, over in sight
|
||||||
| 9:56 |
Other than the man crush Gene has on Freddie, I’m really liking his auction.
|
||||||
| 9:56 |
and what do we expect this year from Pence sb?
|
||||||
| 9:56 |
: Everth Cabrera comes in just $1 cheaper than Segura (to Wilderman). Interesting
|
| 9:56 |
Very interesting
|
||||||
| 9:57 |
agreed Jason |
| 9:58 |
Does that mean that Villar goes for $15+?
|
||||||
| 9:59 |
Have to think so |
| 10:00 |
according to my math, steals is one category. have a hard time paying that much… |
| 10:00 |
will be interesting to see how that unfolds tomorrow |
| 10:00 |
: Sorry – went into a break
|
| 10:02 |
: another 5 minutes or so for the break
|
| 10:03 |
Cmon now, the Stros have been in the AL for a year now…hence I’ll take the under on Billar for this draft 😉
|
||||||
| 10:03 |
Having problems with the spreadsheet. Did Billy Hamilton go yet?
|
||||||
| 10:04 |
I see Gianella got Hamilton at $22. He must be very happy with that. I know we both liked him.
|
||||||
| 10:07 |
Glad to see someone was paying attention, re: Villar…
|
||||||
| 10:08 |
Opening day and Van Slyke the hero |
| 10:08 |
I told Gianella that Dalton Del Don should have his credentials revoked for paying too much for Hamilton in LABR. At least he didn’t pay as much.
|
||||||
| 10:12 |
: Meanwhile, Starlin Castro goes well below at $15 – nearly half of what he went for last year in the standard 5×5 format
|
| 10:12 |
Great start by Kershaw in his quest for #3. I guess spring training really doesn’t matter when we’re talking about the game’s elites.
|
||||||
| 10:13 |
: Jimmy Rollins goes for $18 more than Ryne Sandberg would have paid for him to Walton. That situation is rather comical as Rollins needs just 434 PA to get his 2015 option kicked in. If Phillies are too transparent about trying to prevent that, MLBPA is going to step in
|
| 10:13 |
tune up time is all |
| 10:14 |
Agreed jason, Phils will have to tread carefully |
| 10:14 |
Ah, Dalton’s a good guy. No OBP in that league. Wide range of outcomes on Hamilton. I wouldn’t have paid it, but D3’s track record in industry leagues is very good.
|
||||||
| 10:14 |
Gene with another buy in pitching. I’m predicting now he ends up with Eovaldi on the back end of his staff. He really likes the guy.
|
||||||
| 10:15 |
: Wacha and Latos 17 each to McCaffrey.
|
| 10:15 |
Yup… |
| 10:16 |
: Jim Henderson is working on a new changeup to help with lefties, but it doesn’t help his value in here too much as he goes $11 to Gianella http://jasoncollette.com/2014-new-pitch-tracker/
|
| 10:17 |
Whats going on with the spreadsheet?
|
||||||
| 10:17 |
Great buy on Henderson.
|
||||||
| 10:17 |
yes, just refreshed. auto doesn’t seem to be happening |
| 10:17 |
Considering what the other closers have gone for. |
| 10:17 |
agreed slyke |
| 10:18 |
I hope that the $32 for Freeman does not come back to bite Gene’s ass… it’s looking huge right now.
|
||||||
| 10:18 |
Hey Tim! Loved the Van Slyke quote, BTW! |
| 10:18 |
Which one, lol |
| 10:19 |
: Zola with 0 offensive buys thus far
|
| 10:19 |
Start 1 C or 2?
|
||||||
| 10:20 |
Is Freeman $8 better than Agon?
|
||||||
| 10:20 |
Only two buys in total for Todd |
| 10:21 |
: Gardner covers the Cincy closers as he gets Hoovah for $6
|
| 10:21 |
Jim Henderson is a steal at 11.
|
||||||
| 10:22 |
Gianella must be pretty happy with his buys so far. |
| 10:22 |
Have Henderson for a $1 in my NL only. Speculative bid 2 years ago still paying off. |
| 10:22 |
Starting 2 catches in league-only formats is just plain mean. Pony up for Mesoraco!
|
||||||
| 10:22 |
: Steve Cishek by the Cishore goes $4 more than Henderson, further highlighting the good buy that Henderson was
|
| 10:22 |
Archie Bradley @ $3 to Mike. Like that pick |
| 10:23 |
: and I’m a big Cishek guy
|
| 10:23 |
I want to start a petition to eliminate 2C in only leagues
|
||||||
| 10:23 |
Me too, Tim. |
| 10:23 |
Bradley could be pretty sweet at that price. |
| 10:23 |
But then you’d miss out on the fun of owning George Kottaras.
|
||||||
| 10:25 |
: The National League’s human windmill (not Upton, Reynolds) goes for $7. Thank goodness for OBP format
|
| 10:25 |
Actually knew that Jason. Sleeper & the bust trivia
|
||||||
| 10:25 |
I don’t want to have to choose between Lobaton or Molina #KillThe2ndCatcher
|
||||||
| 10:26 |
I love two catchers. Adds another dimension to team construction. |
| 10:26 |
Always liked Bengie….
|
||||||
| 10:27 |
hola
|
||||||
| 10:28 |
Alive and well… wellish
|
||||||
| 10:28 |
: Homer Bailey, the 2014 Cy Young Award winner (yea, I said it), goes $17 to Tristan as Gene says he just couldn’t go $18 on the guy after spending the money on Latos & Wacha earlier.
|
| 10:29 |
Life question: it’s 1030 am. Should I get out of bed?
|
||||||
| 10:29 |
: Sergio Romo and alllllll of those sliders goes $4 more than Henderson
|
| 10:30 |
Papelbon $14, Parnell $12, Hendo $11. Liking Hendo buy even more |
| 10:30 |
I’ll be passing on all those sliders in my draft. Probably won’t pass on the next option in SF. |
| 10:30 |
: and the $15 market for tier 2 closers continues as Reed goes for that to Tristan
|
| 10:30 |
They didn’t even give me the gallbladder. Jerks prob made a killing off of it
|
||||||
| 10:31 |
Yeah, the ladyfriend left around 8. You’re right. The beers are in the downstairs fridge after all…
|
||||||
| 10:32 |
: Rafael Soriano goes $13. I have too many caution flags with he & Papelbon to pay for them this season myself. Looking at the declines in whiff rates (swing/miss) concerns me greatly. Invest in Tyler Clippard
|
| 10:33 |
: Slyke – Mike says hey
|
| 10:33 |
: Gyorko goes $17, Walker goes $16 as the next 2 2B off the board
|
| 10:33 |
Starting with a 10% ABV selection. What could go wrong??
|
||||||
| 10:35 |
Peter, $63 left, 16 to buy |
| 10:36 |
: Jose Veras and his 20 saves before being traded somewhere goes $8
|
| 10:36 |
Todd, $202 left, 20 to buy |
| 10:36 |
It may be wrong, but I like Kreutzer’s style. Go big or go home!
|
||||||
| 10:36 |
agreed Lance |
| 10:37 |
Tell him I said hello, Jason. I will give him a ring later.
|
||||||
| 10:38 |
: Thought Zola was going to get that 1st offensive buy, but Hertz snaked him and got Aramis Ramirez at $21
|
| 10:39 |
Mike hasn’t fulfilled his Venable love yet. Just a matter of time I suppose. |
| 10:39 |
: Shelby Miller sat at $9 for a little bit, and then ends up going $15 to Wilderman. He goes $2 cheaper than Wacha…and Miller is better
|
| 10:40 |
4 teams with two closers |
| 10:40 |
Lenny and Mike will be battling on the venerable one |
| 10:40 |
there should be a study…. where does the last team to buy a hitter finish at the end of the year. it would be more interesting than informative, I think. |
| 10:40 |
: 1st Padre goes — $11 for Ross to Gianella
|
| 10:41 |
: BREAKING: TODD ZOLA BUYS A HITTER. Not shocking – it is Mark Trumbo. He owns him in 25 of the 21 drafts he’s done this year
|
| 10:42 |
: Allen Craig goes to Mr. Cardinal (Walton) for $25
|
| 10:42 |
Geez, he looks even more horrible than I anticipated in field |
| 10:42 |
Trumbo, that is |
| 10:43 |
I’ve seen Zola hold back before… unsuccessfully, I might add. Don’t understand replaying failed strategies. |
| 10:44 |
: Teheran $16
|
| 10:44 |
: Zola sat back last year, grabbed Schierholtz at $12ish in 2 leagues. He just passed on Phillips at $21 so he went to Lenny for $20
|
| 10:45 |
: and Todd buys his 2nd player — Utley for $19. Saved $2 on Phillips
|
| 10:46 |
: and Zola buys his 2nd consecutive $19 2B with Aaron Hill
|
| 10:46 |
Holding back against average joes is usually successful, but not with this crowd. |
| 10:46 |
well…. the game wouldn’t be any fun if we all used the same “strategery” |
| 10:48 |
: ICYMI it earlier – http://sports.cbsimg.net/images/visual/whatshot/TrumboLOL032214.gif
|
| 10:48 |
Mike is bullish in Ross.
|
||||||
| 10:48 |
Who won NL Tout last year?
|
||||||
| 10:49 |
to be fair to Trumbo, the fan was pointing in the wrong direction…
|
||||||
| 10:51 |
: $87 in pitching for Gene who has 5 pitchers. Guessing he’ll $1 out the rest of his staff or come close to it
|
| 10:51 |
Marte @ $28 |
| 10:52 |
: Khris Davis goes $20 to Melnick for $20 – we’re at $77 for 3 OFers
|
| 10:53 |
I’ve watched Trumbo play a lot of OF in LA. He isn’t good, but he isn’t as bad as what you saw today.
|
||||||
| 10:53 |
: Cashner goes $15 to Gianella as he’s spent $26 total on 2 of the 3 Padres staters
|
| 10:53 |
How is tout handling LA/Ariz games?
|
||||||
| 10:55 |
The under might be the winner on Lenny’s OF, $61 left, 14 to buy
|
||||||
| 10:55 |
: BJ Upton went $16. $17 more than I was willing to pay
|
| 10:56 |
Kemp $21 and Davis $20, that’s interesting
|
||||||
| 10:56 |
Blasphemy Jason! You sure you weren’t consuming last night?
|
||||||
| 10:58 |
EY2 @ $9. Cheap speed, cheap
|
||||||
| 10:58 |
Agreed, Tim. |
| 10:59 |
I might still own him somewhere Jason
|
||||||
| 10:59 |
: Ludwick gets first crickets at $11
|
| 11:00 |
: Javier Baez goes $8 to Gene. Cubs should just let him play CF from day one and forget the other bums.
|
| 11:00 |
and deny Jr Lake?
|
||||||
| 11:01 |
Now, that’s a buy! Well done, Gino. |
| 11:02 |
How much on Polanco?
|
||||||
| 11:03 |
Agreed Jason, clock is ticking |
| 11:03 |
Lake isn’t half bad.. great athlete, just not a great player. |
| 11:03 |
: Cingrani $14 to Zola. all the fastballs are belong to Zola
|
| 11:03 |
: Jayson Werth goes $27. Sporer would have spent at least $30 more
|
| 11:04 |
Wheeler @ $10 to Tristan, am really liking that |
| 11:04 |
So far, give me Trachtman’s team. Love the Starlin Castro price.
|
||||||
| 11:05 |
lol |
| 11:07 |
: Ike Davis, leg and all, goes $11 to Cockcroft
|
| 11:07 |
Prado to Peter @$22 |
| 11:07 |
: as the H stands for “what the (H)ell did I buy Ike Davis for?”
|
| 11:07 |
Wheeler at $10? Great value! |
| 11:08 |
Prado 2b/3b/of has added value in a deep league like this. |
| 11:08 |
: Cole Hamels goes $15 to Walton If that shoulder is good by May 1st, sweet buy
|
| 11:08 |
yes–really good price for Hamels. Looks like spenders are hitting the brakes. |
| 11:09 |
: Wellington Castillo and all of his pitch framing goes for $10
|
| 11:09 |
: Lincecum, in a spring where he said he wants to get more groundballs and stop trying to K everyone, goes $9 to Gardner. Gotta love when a pitcher decides to give up his one remaining redeeming quality
|
| 11:10 |
Zola, $128 left on 16, Kreutzer $41 left on 15. |
| 11:10 |
A lot of Ks for $9 (Lincecum). Just have to guard ERA. |
| 11:11 |
:
|
| 11:11 |
:
|
| 11:11 |
:
|
| 11:12 |
: The market for sore shoulders is $13-$15; Hamels goes $15, Minor goes $13
|
| 11:13 |
: Big Erv Santana goes $8 — where’s Mike Siano when you need him?
|
| 11:14 |
: Brandon Belt love in the room — $22 to Carty.
|
| 11:15 |
spending is splitting–discount for pitchers; full boat for hitters.
|
||||||
| 11:15 |
was seemingly reversed earlier. |
| 11:17 |
Chris Young @ $11 to Hertz, nice looking OF for Phil |
| 11:17 |
Erv an absolute steal at $8
|
||||||
| 11:18 |
: Dom Brown $19…. Mr. May
|
| 11:19 |
Tristan and Todd have no OF. gonna be fun watching them fill that |
| 11:19 |
Mike attempting to buy the entire Padres rotation |
| 11:19 |
: Gianella corners the market on Padres starters – gets Josh Johnson for $7
|
| 11:20 |
Todd needs to get moving on O. |
| 11:20 |
: Melancon only goes $4 – nearly went $2. Kinda surprised by that
|
| 11:20 |
very much so |
| 11:21 |
: and Hawkins goes $4 while Brothers goes 2 more
|
| 11:21 |
Lots of solid RPs in NL–can backfill at $1-2 if Melancon not in the budget.
|
||||||
| 11:21 |
Dee Gordon @ $7 to Todd |
| 11:21 |
: I ask Tristan about what he’s going to do in the outfield — “Wait, we have outfielders in this league?”
|
| 11:22 |
: Samardaafadfazija $13
|
| 11:23 |
I like the SP prices over the past 30 mins–a lot. I need a new strategy!
|
||||||
| 11:23 |
I thought there were only 5 “a’s” in his name? |
| 11:23 |
: Since rules change won’t allow Tristan to punt batting average, he may just punt outfielders to spite everyone!
|
| 11:24 |
He might have to Jason. two teams with no OF, two more with only one |
| 11:25 |
That’s a lot of OF to fill |
| 11:26 |
We ran out of OF in LABR too–a lot of ugly late bids. |
| 11:26 |
Zola holding back the big money for Junior Lake.
|
||||||
| 11:26 |
: we finally have a Milwaukee pitcher off the board with Gallardo going for $11. I like several options on that staff this year and Gallardo may not be the most expensive one when this draft is said and done
|
| 11:27 |
: and Marco Estrada joins the fun and also goes $12. That was the one I thought would exceed Gallardo
|
| 11:27 |
Walton fills his OF with a $14 Crawford |
| 11:29 |
Meso to Tristan @ $9. Like that price. |
| 11:29 |
: Garza went $11 here. So, Estrada may be the most expensive of the Milwaukee starters unless there is some in-draft inflation with Lohse or Peralta
|
| 11:31 |
: Zola gets another OF with Venable at $21
|
| 11:31 |
Ben Revere to Gene @ $19. 50 cents a sb. |
| 11:32 |
: by my count, Tristan is the only guy who has yet to roster an OF. Zola gets another one with Pagan at $17
|
| 11:32 |
: Poor Joe Kelly — $2 to Lenny.
|
| 11:32 |
My count same Jason |
| 11:32 |
Derek snags Haren @ $8
|
||||||
| 11:33 |
Wong @ $11 |
| 11:33 |
Zola going on a buying spree |
| 11:33 |
: Zola on a spending spree. Gets Alonso for $15
|
| 11:34 |
: bum shoulder go $13-15, bum shoulders and elbows go $4 as Gianella get Niese
|
| 11:34 |
3 Brewers pitchers so far and all of them were $11 each.
|
||||||
| 11:34 |
AT that price on haren agreed Jason. great buy |
| 11:34 |
Jason – do you think kelly gets the #5 spot in the rotation?
|
||||||
| 11:35 |
Lynn for $13, Estrada for $12, Ross for $11 or Wheeler for $10? Or maybe all of em!
|
||||||
| 11:35 |
Estrada was Brewer #4 after Henderson, Gallardo, and Garza.
|
||||||
| 11:36 |
Tristan finally jumps in with Ethier @$12 |
| 11:36 |
: Rendon on the board — I would be irrational in bidding on him if I were participating
|
| 11:36 |
: I just learned I got Ethier for $8 in my 30% inflated NL home league. I’m quite happy
|
| 11:37 |
: and Rendon has A LOT OF LOVE
|
| 11:37 |
: $17 to Gianella
|
| 11:38 |
: Junior Lake and Javier Baez each went for $8
|
| 11:38 |
Junior on the board! |
| 11:38 |
and Lenny goes wild! |
| 11:39 |
: Big Fat Bartolo Colon goes for a record-breaking $6
|
| 11:39 |
What did you think of Hamels at $15?
|
||||||
| 11:39 |
I hate BFBC this year.
|
||||||
| 11:40 |
Mike the first to fill his pitching staff. |
| 11:40 |
If he went at $1-2, I would too, but I would have hated it. |
| 11:41 |
: catcher pool is arid dry at this point
|
| 11:42 |
Uggla @ $8 to Tristan. La Stella by May?
|
||||||
| 11:42 |
: Travis Wood and the raging regression monsters go for $4 to Lenny
|
| 11:42 |
Come on Jason. There’s still Hector Sanchez, Jose Lobaton, Martin Maldanado…. |
| 11:42 |
Did Seth got locked in a bathroom? I liked his team a hour ago–not sure he has bought another player since!
|
||||||
| 11:43 |
LaStella is not that fantastic anyway. (re: Uggla)
|
||||||
| 11:44 |
I’d rather have just kept Eliot Johnson.
|
||||||
| 11:44 |
: Ruggiano goes $11 to Zola. I really dislike that, but I also have serious bias with Ruggiano
|
| 11:45 |
And yet . . . (damning with faint praise) |
| 11:46 |
: break coming up in 2 picks here
|
| 11:46 |
Polanco @ $5 to Tristan |
| 11:47 |
: LeMahieu goes for $8. I think he’s going to get most of that PT there because he can play defense and Rutledge can’t catch a cold. Rockies want to emphasize groundballs this year with their pitchers
|
| 11:47 |
Gregory or Placido?
|
||||||
| 11:47 |
the good one |
| 11:47 |
agree w/LeMahieu–Walt Weiss factor. Sneaky steals from LeMahieu, too.
|
||||||
| 11:48 |
: breaktime – starting back up at high noon ET
|
| 11:50 |
Time to go dig out car. Great job Jason and have a great day guys! |
| 11:57 |
if I needed O, I would plan to come out of this break firing. |
| 11:59 |
Would BJ Upton be worse defensively at 2nd?
|
||||||
| 11:59 |
what are the top hitters remaining???
|
||||||
| 12:04 |
Zola’s team is a train wreck, yet I can stil look away. |
| 12:04 |
: Ian Kennedy does not go to Gianella but goes for $7
|
| 12:04 |
disappointed (Gianella Friars) |
| 12:05 |
: Carlos Martinez $7 to Mr. Cardinal Walton
|
| 12:05 |
Does Martinez win the 5 spot? Or bullpen and move to rotation later in season?
|
||||||
| 12:06 |
If you pick and choose off everyone’s roster you can find nice value. Makes me feel good for my NL next weekend.
|
||||||
| 12:07 |
Joe Kelly is in StL rotation. Martinez in pen. But Martinez is the electic arm. I think StL wants him to add a pitch, but he won’t be able to do that from the pen.
|
||||||
| 12:07 |
Hi Guys. What software would you use in a live auction draft to keep track of budget, draft etc? Getting ready for my first live auction draft with friend. Thank you for your answers
|
||||||
| 12:07 |
: Mike Olt to Seth for $5. I like him a lot
|
| 12:08 |
: Seth on a buying spree – gets Span for $5
|
| 12:09 |
I created my own on Lotus 123.
|
||||||
| 12:10 |
: Tyler Clippard goes for $1 fewer dollar than Melancon. Could be a huge profit if things play out as I expect them to with Soriano
|
| 12:10 |
: AJ Pollock goes $9 as this year’s Adam Eaton in Arizona. Can’t wait to see where Towers trades him this offseason
|
| 12:11 |
Complicated by Storen. Agree about Soriano. Clippard capable.
|
||||||
| 12:11 |
love Pollock at $9–he will play a lot. |
| 12:13 |
JasonAre you in any of the tout’s
|
||||||
| 12:14 |
Soriano threw his slider less………a lot less for a cutter that he threw over half the time.
|
||||||
| 12:14 |
: Opening Day starter Dillon Gee – $4
|
| 12:14 |
more concerned about Soriano than Papelbon, bc WAS cannot be patient.
|
||||||
| 12:15 |
: Wily Peralta $4 to Kreutzer. Man I’d love that pitching buy
|
| 12:16 |
Has Byrd gone yet?
|
||||||
| 12:16 |
Who’s the biggest threat to Papelbon?
|
||||||
| 12:16 |
Which one is nando in
|
||||||
| 12:16 |
: Marcell Ozuna $4 to Zola
|
| 12:17 |
Papelbon threat = trade for someone. |
| 12:18 |
: McGehee (3B only) to Gianella
|
| 12:20 |
: quite the difference in the Miami outfield. Stanton $30, Yelich $14, Ozuna $4……Marisnick $1
|
| 12:20 |
Bogusevic! |
| 12:20 |
: Bourjos at $6 could literally be a steal
|
| 12:21 |
pun ta dum-dum |
| 12:21 |
:
|
| 12:21 |
:
|
| 12:21 |
:
|
| 12:22 |
:
|
| 12:22 |
Bogusevic bumped up to $5 in the latest BP auction values.
|
||||||
| 12:24 |
| 12:24 |
: Darin Ruf goes for $2
|
| 12:24 |
: setup man Benoit goes $4
|
| 12:24 |
:
|
| 12:25 |
: Schierholtz goes back home to Zola for $12 in a bit of a bidding war with Tristan as they play for outfielders
|
| 12:26 |
: Tristan settles with Jay at $3 after losing out on Schierholtz.
|
| 12:26 |
:
|
| 12:27 |
: Zola rounding out his outfield getting Quentin for $10.
|
| 12:27 |
Ike D/Duda–both on Tristan’s team at greatly diff. prices. |
| 12:28 |
: National Parks are cheap – Ft.McKenry goes $3
|
| 12:29 |
I like McKenry. He didn’t go at all in LABR–not even during 6-rd reserve draft.
|
||||||
| 12:29 |
: Juan Uribe $6 to Carty
|
| 12:30 |
ok–Carty’s team is starting to look really good. |
| 12:30 |
:
|
| 12:31 |
I read a while back Rosario would get some starts at 1st.
|
||||||
| 12:31 |
: whoever predicted Eovaldi to Gene needs to go play the lotto – got him for $5
|
| 12:33 |
:
|
| 12:34 |
: Beckett goes $4, or a dollar for every 5 homers he will allow
|
| 12:35 |
Hertz gets Benoit and Clippard for $7 while Street and Soriano go for $25.
|
||||||
| 12:37 |
: Tommy Medica goes to Gene for $1.
|
| 12:37 |
So was Freeman’s BABIP with runners in scoring position.
|
||||||
| 12:37 |
Gene hates Y.Alonso, so Medica makes sense.
|
||||||
| 12:38 |
: Gianella is the first to close out his roster with Maybin at $7
|
| 12:41 |
: Syndergaaaaaaaaaaard only goes $2
|
| 12:41 |
SW can be any hitter or pitcher, is that correct?
|
||||||
| 12:42 |
: end game time as people get the 1-2 dollar players to fill spots
|
| 12:43 |
SW slots and reserves are fascinating to me, so . . . |
| 12:45 |
:Leake $3, Gindl $1, Arroyo $4, Scutaro $2
|
| 12:46 |
How long of a leash do you think Khris Davis will have. Is Gindl potentially a threat to his playing time?
|
||||||
| 12:46 |
: Danny Espinosa $2. Don’t know where he’ll play, but if he is traded, it could be nice for his value. Taylor Jordan and his slider for $2
|
| 12:47 |
I’m a Taylor Jordan fan.
|
||||||
| 12:47 |
:JOSE LOBATON FOR $1 IS THE STEAL OF THE MINUTE!!
|
| 12:49 |
Do you like Jordan or Roark better, Doug.
|
||||||
| 12:49 |
: Delgado, who may make that D-Back rotation, goes for $1
|
| 12:49 |
Jason knows my mom too well! I go 1) Jordan 2) mom 3) Roark |
| 12:49 |
Delgado for $1 is nice. |
| 12:50 |
: Brett Anderson in Colorado going $4 < Delgado going $1
|
| 12:51 |
: quiet sleeper – Arrieta $1 for Kreutzer.
|
| 12:51 |
If Anderson could stay healthy, he’d be double-digit. But he never has. Problem with Delgado is that he can cause harm to WHIP/ERA, so owner has to pick his spots.
|
||||||
| 12:51 |
: Juan Francisco and Jeff Baker $1 each
|
| 12:52 |
Juan Francisco at $1 isn’t terrible. Having to spend $1 on hitters is. |
| 12:53 |
: and I really like Hammel at $2. He looked fantastic when I saw him pitch earlier this week
|
| 12:53 |
You may be right about Anderson, but I am curious to see. Hope he can stay healthy long enough to get a data set > 30 ip. |
| 12:53 |
: Kendrys Morales goes $8 on the speculation play
|
| 12:54 |
:
|
| 12:54 |
Morales–may not sign until June!
|
||||||
| 12:55 |
I agree, but they seem dug in. |
| 12:55 |
: Brian Wilson’s knuckleball goes $1
|
| 12:57 |
Zola’s pitching is fantastic–and cost-effective. |
| 12:57 |
: Zola drops $7 on Sean Marshall to end his draft. “Are you done, Todd?” — “I was done awhile ago”
|
| 12:57 |
If the Orioles signed Morales what compensation would they lose since they’ve already lost their 1st 2 picks ?
|
||||||
| 12:58 |
Zola-always leaves a little money at the end. Would be better served to get that $5-7 hitter earlier. |
| 12:58 |
55th pick AND amount of money to Morales. Morales wants $14.1m at a minimum. Pipe dream at this point. |
| 12:59 |
: Lenny gets one of his $1 potential closers if 5 things go right in Fujikawa. Seth gets Burch Smith
|
| 1:00 |
I got both Fujikawa and Burch Smith in LABR #scrapingthebottom |
| 1:01 |
: Nick Vincent went $3. Peter takes Heaney for $1, and  Lenny dollars out his catchers with Federowicz and Bryan Pena
|
| 1:01 |
: Seth buys that Van Slyke home run for $1, Peter takes Kris Bryant for $1. Gene kicks the table
|
| 1:03 |
: final 2 players – Bogusevic and Derek Deitrich. That’s a hell of a Mr. Irrelevant pick!
|
| 1:04 |
I like Dietrich. |
| 1:04 |
Bogusevic!! Didn’t think he’d make it. Dietrich–like the bat, but the Marlins don’t like it enough to play over Donovan Solano and Rafael Furcal (yikes!) |
| 1:05 |
: That’ll do it – check out the reserve pics on the sheet
|
| 1:06 |
: Thanks for hanging around – see you at 4p for the mixed!
|
Let’s rock.
