    He's a better prospect than Zagunis
  2. Tryptamine
    Nottingham is a guy who is going to finish well within the top 100 prospects. Kazmir didn't come that cheap.
  3. Tryptamine
    Nottingham was a really nice haul for a dozen starts of Kazmir.
  4. Tryptamine
    You're offering an insane amount for 2.5 months of Price. The going price will not be anywhere near that high.
  5. Tryptamine
    You'd give up 2 top 40 prospects for 11 starts? That's absolute madness.
  6. Tryptamine
    Yup and I no longer care. Time to find something to do until game 2 starts.
  7. Tryptamine
    Well this game might be over real quick.
  8. Tryptamine
    It's incredible. He's never been a particularly high touted prospect. If I remember correctly he barely cracked the top 100 and wasn't even a consensus top 100 guy. He was also not that great in the minors until he started sporting 400+babips. I have Sox fans who told me before this year that he was better than the overhyped Bryant and Soler.
  9. Tryptamine
    I've never understood that mentality. A guy beats you fairly, so the appropriate reaction is to chuck a 90mph fastball at him endangering both his life and income potential.
  10. Tryptamine
    You do not give up top tier prospects for the right to pay a pitcher 25-30M a year.
  11. Tryptamine
    That wasn't on Schwarber, that was just a shitty pitch.
  12. Tryptamine
    It's amazing to me that Richard doesn't get teed off on more, like this. It just looks so hittable.
  13. Tryptamine
    I still say it's absurd to say there are 50 more valuable players than Arrieta. The haul they could get for 2.5 more years of him would be crazy.
  14. Tryptamine
    I hyped him and picked him up on my dynasty squad about two weeks ago. My bad. Hopefully Steele and Cease don't suffer similar fates.

    I just got finished with my league's amateur draft where I had picks 8,10,12,13 and 19. I took Andrew Benintendi,Tyler Jay,Kolby Allard,Cornelius Randolph and Ashe Russell in that order. The problem is I have 20 prospects on my farm right now and the draft puts me 5 over, so I need to drop/trade 5 in the next two weeks. Who should I ship off? Team is listed below and prospects are in Red. 16 Team H2H Dynasty Points League(51 man rosters,31MLB/20Farm) (C,1B,2B,SS,3B,LF,CF,RF,DH,DH)(6xSP,3xRP) Minor League Players Are in Red C:Lucroy,C.Sisco,W.Contreras 1B:A.Rizzo, 2B:Kinsler 3B:Arenado,Jo.Reyes SS:B.Crawford,O.Albies,D.Sweeney LF:M.Cabrera,C.Frazier,B.Starling CF: Span,M.Margot. RF:Pence,M.Zagunis DH:T.Hunter DH:Todd Frazier BENCH: Chris Carter,K.Calhoun,M.Bourn,D.Travis,A.Cabrera SP:Strasburg,Darvish,Arrieta,Quintana,Salazar,Paxton,Kennedy,Shoemaker,B.Norris,Volquez,Z.McAllister,Colome,E.Ramirez,C.Bettis RP:Chapman,Papelbon,Casilla,Romo SP:K.Freeland,N.Kingham,K.Ziomek,C.Anderson,C.Martin,J.Hader,J.Sheffield,Z.Davies,J.Guerrero,J.Steele,D.Cease

    Not sure how that makes a lot of sense. They need pitching so they'd trade away a major league ready pitcher as well as a top 30 pitching prospect who should move quickly?
  17. Tryptamine
    For the life of me I can't understand how Brandon Nimmo is a consensus top 60 prospect while Mark Zagunis is an unknown. They're pretty much the exact same guy.
  18. Tryptamine
    3 hits and the FO will continue to sit on their hands.
  19. Tryptamine
    Not a single person on this team can bunt. I've never seen a team so completely unable to put a bunt in play.
  20. Tryptamine
    Well if they manage to lose today there's a real good chance they get swept with Quintana and Sale going. Not that it much matters when the team can't hit anyways.
  21. Tryptamine
    Pretend he's hurt and get Baez up here asap. How a baseball player can't hit a ball in the damn air I just don't understand.
  22. Tryptamine
    But if Hammel does end up missing significant time, I wonder if that pushes them to make a mega-deal for Hamels and Papelbon. I can't begin to imagine the package. But unless Theo pulls a Suge Knight on Amaro, there's no way it doesn't start with Schwarber and probably one of Torres or McKinney. There is absolutely no way in hell Hamels is landing a top 10 prospect and another top 30 guy. I swear every month the price people expect to pay goes up. Would you have expected a Top 5 prospect for Samardzjia? Hamels is on pace for another 6 WAR season, and it's a no doubt sellers market. The Billy Beane deal is quite obviously the outlier. The Rays got nowhere near that much for David Price, and the As got nowhere near that much when they dealt Samardzija to the WSox. Hell, the As didn't even get that much for Josh Donaldson. If Hamels cost a top 10 and a top 30, then you might as well give up Gleyber too and get Sonny Gray.
  23. Tryptamine
    How the hell is he only getting 4.25M?
  24. Tryptamine
    If Cameron Maybin is available he needs to be on this team right now. LD% way up from 17 to 23.3%,FB% down 3.0%, Soft% down 5.9% and Med% up 11.4%. He's spraying the ball more to the opposite field than he ever has, 30.6% up from 23.5%. If the Cubs can fix his defense like they've done with Dexter than you could have a 4 or 5 win CF going forward.
