Week 2 - Chuck needs a 1B

[Tracer Bullet]

Solarte to the DL. Add Mauer?

[sneakypower]

i see no problem with that

[Tim]

Sounds about right.

2nd Q -

 

CBS lists Fielder as 1B eligible even though he doesn't qualify under our rules (played only 18 games at 1B last season and 0 this season; we require 20 last year or 10 this year). I don't know what the issue is or how to fix it

[Tracer Bullet]

Now Gattis and Kendrick are back for HBC. Need to drop 2 guys.

 

Gonna need some help here. He has 11 prospects, so Refsnyder is on his MLB bench. Is he good enough to keep in this league?

 

Who else do you drop?

[sneakypower]

Storen isn't closing and he's been kind of bad for a while now, so he should probably be dropped especially since he's playing 3 relievers all while Erasmo's in the pen (in which case, he'd need to add a starter, though...Hellickson?)

 

i definitely don't see any particular upside in him keeping Andrew Bailey around, and Kyle Crick literally can't throw strikes- hard to imagine bailing on that guy ever becoming a regrettable decision

 

that's what i'd do

[Tracer Bullet]

Agree on Store but Erasmo isn't in the pen any more. He's starting Friday. If he goes back to the pen, then I'll make that move.

 

My only hesitation with Crick is he was a top 50 prospect not all that long ago. If he's really better than Ref, then maybe that's the best move.

 

Drop Bailey is obvious. But then he needs to drop an MLB player for the 2nd move.

[sneakypower]

the same is all true of Carl Edwards, who is currently a FA

[Tracer Bullet]

ok but he needs to drop a MLB player to make room for Gattis. I'm not looking to do more than necessary to keep his team legal.

[sneakypower]

i'd say Werth, unless he's going to play him over Santana forever, in which case throw Domingo in minors and dump Crick

[Quakers]

Ok, Thome is up to 9 starts now....

[Tracer Bullet]

I took off 40 points, which approximates his 2 best starts. He's losing anyway right?

[Quakers]

True. It is not that big of deal. Just hoping it's not a pattern.
