Honestly I have him pegged around 10/80. So upside I could stretch...but not that far. I still have no plan of attack at 2B. At all. E: Gasp. http://m.mlb.com/video/v41084983/bosmin-pedroia-drills-a-grand-slam-to-left-field/ ChiTownEddie fucked around with this message at 05:08 on Mar 6, 2015 |

Pedroia's ISO was in sharp decline even before his hand/wrist injury. He'll get a bunch of runs & RBI because of that lineup though. Just go Kolten Wong. He's hella cheap.

Rendon still has 2B eligibility in Yahoo, so he's probably going to be my go-to guy. Specially cause in one league I can keep him at the cost of a 20th round pick.

The fact that Jed Lowrie doesn't have 2nd base eligibility to start the season kind of sucks. He at least made for a decent MIF bench guy in the past.

In LABR the Baseball Prospectus team took Tulo and Desmond at the 1/2 wheel to fill MI and destroy the SS market in the process. That's such a risky drat proposition. Though I would say SS, 2B, a semi-big dropoff in difficulty, then 3B. 3B has a lot more guys I would be okay owning.

I joined a 20 team league before realizing they split the outfield into LF, CF, RF, OF. What in the gently caress? What rear end in a top hat came up with this idea in a 20 team league? That being said, it's always surprising how bad LF is if you remove players eligible at the other 2 positions.

Keeper question from a goon league. Standard 5x5 plus BB (for hitters) and Holds. Keep 3, no draft picks or auction $ involved, just choose the best 3 players. Kershaw Jose Abreu Tulo ************* Cueto Strasburg Ellsbury That's how I rank the top dudes on my team. Anyone want to tell me why I'm dumb and wrong?

Some dude just tried to sell me on a Cole Hamels for Matt Harvey and Jung Ho Kang trade by saying that "Hamels has looked great this spring." It's like people don't even try to make sense sometimes. It's not like it's an offensive offer or anything, but his reasoning is pretty hilarious. edit: I just noticed that the "some dude" is actually the commissioner, which makes it even better.

Amazing things happen when you punt AVG. I realize those of you in roto leagues can't really get away with it, but there are some bargains to be had. Regarding MI, I'm specifically targeting Brian Dozier and Jimmy Rollins for their production vs draft position. Dozier's projections without AVG are almost identical to Anthony Rendon's and you can get him in the 7th or 8th round, and Rollins is about 75% of what Ian Desmond produces, and is taken at least round 14 or 15

It's H2H and the keeper rules are unlimited if it's the HGH and Centaurs league (which going by what he posted I assume it is)

Have any of y'all ever played in an auction league with severely unbalanced draft budgets? I got into my first auction league this year through a buddy of mine. It's a 12-team keeper league (1 of each offensive position, 2 UT, 5 SP, 5 RP, 5 bench), h2h with ottoneu Fangraphs points scoring. The big wrench in everything: in addition to trading draft dollars, teams save unspent draft cash from season to season. So we have three teams with completely disproportionate draft budgets: the top 4 budgets go $435, $413, $358, and then me at $285. I think my keepers are pretty good and I don't want to tank my first season anyway, so any advice you folks have would be appreciated. Hopefully after the massacre this draft becomes, we institute some kind of rules against this scenario. Also, here's my keeper situation if y'all want to tell me where I've already ruined everything. I bought Sanchez for a draft dollar and picked up Seager/Peralta/McGee for a $23 Freddie Freeman, then paid $3 for JD Martinez at the keeper deadline after McGee's surgery (and Arizona not freeing up playing time for D Peralta) made me nervous.

Are you keeping those guys in green, because oh my, don't keep Tim Hudson. He's 40 years old. Your keepers are actually not good at all. You have Tulo and not much else. Definitely keep: tulo seager jd martinez Probably definitely keep chapman samardzia kimbrel yadier gonzalez those $1 pitchers are just that, $1 pitchers. You can find ones just like them for $1 every year, so why use a keeper slot on them. If there are 10 keepers, all the best players are going to be kept. If you don't keep guys like Kimbrel/Agonz/Chapman, they are going to be amongst the best players available and they'll go for a lot more than your keeper price. If there are any top players available you're going to want to spend a lot of money on them, like $20 more than the list price for first and second rounders. Or try to trade for some if you can get them below that price. Schweinhund fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Mar 7, 2015 |

I don't think those two RPs (especially Kimbrel) are keepable at all, since they were the two most expensive RPs in the entire league and arguably neither is top 5 at the position (since they aren't actually SPs coasting on RP eligibility from last season). Maybe salary inflation will change the RP market big-time this year, but even then I think Jerome Williams might be the guy I should've gambled on. How do you have Adrian Gonzalez projected? I've got him pegged for a .345 wOBA over 650 PA, which makes him something like the 10th-best 1B. Is he higher than that on your board?

I don't like AGonz much, it's just that that's all you have so I'd keep him. Look at the top ranked players in fantasy: http://espn.go.com/fantasy/baseball/story/_/page/mlbdk2k15_ranks_300/2015-fantasy-baseball-player-roto-rankings-top-300 Your top players are Tulo (14) and AGonz (50). The teams with a lot of players at the top of that list are going to win. Not teams who save money by keeping Scott Kazmir for $1. If your league's keepers are in can you show a list of the top players available for the draft?

The teams with a lot of players at the top of that list are going to win. Not teams who save money by keeping Scott Kazmir for $1. Your link is to rankings for 5x5 roto. Switch to points (which is still probably crediting him for RBI and whatnot) and Gonzalez is down to 76th. Mostly going off the CBS projections since I've only projected my players, the other keepers, and a few select other guys so far: C: Lucroy (who was inexplicably not kept for $10), Sal Perez, d'Arnaud, Molina, really a whole lot of guys but it's hard to get excited about any C besides Lucroy 1B: Votto, Carlos Santana, Gonzalez, Fielder, Pujols, Duda 2B: Zobrist, Pedroia, Walker, Murphy, similar situation with C 3B: Santana, Zimmerman, Longoria, Wright, Sandoval SS: Reyes, Zobrist LF: Harper, Gordon, Melky, Zimmerman CF: Adam Jones, Ellsbury, Ozuna, Choo, Span RF: Heyward, Braun, Calhoun, Ozuna, Werth, Bruce; also prospecty guys like Tomas, Arcia, Souza SP: Hamels, Lee, Lynn, Iwakuma, Verlander (these are the only guys it projects above Kazmir, which: lol), Anibal Sanchez, Wheeler, Garrett Richards, Latos, etc. 50 starters were kept and I expect another 50+ drafted RP: Graveman, Carlos Martinez, Betances, Petit, Chapman, Kimbrel, Jerome Williams, Melancon; everyone but Sanchez, Carrasco, Holland, D Robertson, and Jansen are on the market In retrospect, I misjudged the 3B market pretty bad (I expected Sandoval & Zimmerman to be kept and thought Santana was still eligible at C) and could probably replace Seager pretty easily (though $5 is still a nice price). But Peralta was perfect for me: a backup for Tulo at minimum keeper cost who won't drag me down in the UT spot while they're both healthy. Anyway, obviously Votto is the only really good 1B left, and it's a position that will get mined for UTs, but I have a hard time seeing Santana/Gonzalez/Fielder/Pujols/Duda ALL going above $20 and they're all in the same tier to me.

You probably need both Jones and Votto just to even stay out of last place and you're competing with 11 other guys and $400 payrolls.for those players.

Matt Holliday is elite at his position and both Samardzija and Sanchez have a shot, but you're right that I'm making do with more second- and third-tier guys. The team I inherited was the one team in the league that was completely terrible but not obviously tanking to game the draft system. Hence asking about auction strategy w/r/t those big budgets so I can try to actually pick up some more high-tier guys.
