Pretty excited that this cool thread for cool guys is up so soon. Anyone know a good site for auction values so I can decide my keepers? The ones I found on Google seem to be uh, not very accurate. Also, should I be keeping Lindor for 5 bux when I can only keep 3 players, thanks!

I like drafting during Wrestlemania, we did it last year in the Goon Nuclear Softball league and I finished 2nd. Was good fun! Hope we do it again this year ;)

ESPN is open. Mock drafts aren't running yet though.

They are on Yahoo. Good thing is if they don't fill up they just put bots in. Maybe not a good thing...

10 team H2H auction, 6x6, standard plus OPS and QS. 3 keepers, $260 budget. I am leaning towards Stanton, EE and Blackmon, but Kluber seems to be a good value. What would you guys recommend?

I was looking at Martinez' keeper cost too. Is there inflation in keeper prices?

Kluber at 9
Lindor at 5
Martinez at 5

That would be a nice looking trio in a few years.

EE, Kluber, and either Blackmon or Martinez would be good though.

4bux for under 39, 5 over. These are the keeper costs for this year. I like your idea, I had been thinking Lindor all off-season and all those guys would be a total of $19 would let me really control the draft board. Never been a fan of pitching, but this sounds good, thanks!

Going to drop Stanton, I will buy a big bat and save the keeper spot. I am leaning EE, Kluber, and Martinez because Blackmon isn't that under priced according to what I have seen. Can probably get Lindor for 10-15 bux if I want him, will just see how the draft plays out. Thanks guys!

On Yahoo if you just leave your RP slots empty will you get extra bench slots? Last year I rolled with RP's that started, but they weren't the best. Can I just trade/drop them and pick up 2 starters for my bench since they will probably be better?

Give: Matz

Get: Brantley, A Eaton

If I did this I would have to drop someone: W Myers, C Carter or a one of my lower level pitchers. Would you accept this trade, 6x6 QS and OPS 10 teamer. I think Matz might be really good so I am leaning towards no.

OK, gonna mash, he wants to have a roster full of Mets so is overpaying because I haven't taken his other offers, good deal!

I'd rather have Wil Myers than any other guy in that deal right now. He's playing well and has upside. Brantley is probably broken. Eaton is mediocre.

I dropped Carter. I have 3 guys on DL/NA so going to have to drop even more soon.

Should have never done that trade of Matz for Eaton and Brantley, thanks guys! Then I dropped Carter to make the trade happen and then Jay Bruce, Castillo and Perkins because gently caress saves. Also dropped Desmond the day he started doing good again.

e; down 7 dongs already and blown out across the board in offense, so long 2nd place :(

I'd rather have an open roster spot than all 3.

Sometimes after I drop someone, before I pick up his replacement I fill out my DL spots with guys from the wire. Causes problems when they come off and you can't make any moves without getting them off DL and you have to drop someone to do that. Quite a pickle, but if you aren't utilizing ALL roster spots, are you even really trying?

More of a 'drafting pitchers can be dumb' situation.

Yep, last year I spent all my bux on bats, got lucky on the wire and streaming pitchers, most of the streamers turned out to be good so I kept them on. This year I kept Martinez and Kluber so felt I had to go in on pitching, got Hernandez, Salazar, and Ross (RIP). My streamers that are being kept for now are RICH HILL, Tillman, Nelson, and Roark, I have a few others that I burn through to try to get 2 start weeks. Basically don't pay for pitchers. My offense is holding me back even though it is good on paper and I am in 8th, after being in 1st or 2nd all last season. Gonna post my roster soon for advice because I have good players and shouldn't be this bad.

Why does Castillo have so many days off? He only has 39 GP so far, is this going to be a problem going forward if I drop Molina for him?

Also, should I drop Castro and pick up Russell?

Thanks!

My one team has Springer, Harper, Betts, Polanco, Upton, Zobrist, and Brandon Belt and not a single team in the league will trade for one of my OFers. I'm not even asking that much either.

Also there's a dude who's made 116 moves already and we're just starting June. Anyone want to do an over/under bet on 250 moves by the end of the season?

I lead my league with 30 moves, but we can only do 4 a week. I would say the over, but from my experience streaming pitchers, a lot of them caught on with my team and I kept them around. I am going over but at +130.

I am going to need to clear up some roster space soon. Since I never win steals and rarely AVG, A: is there any market for Starlin Castro and B: is cutting him to play Eugenio Suárez as my full time SS a horrible idea since I live by the dingers and that is what drives my offense? Also, any market for DJ LeMahieu and or Adam Eaton in a 10 team 6x6 (OPS and QS) H2H?

e; could move DJ or Starlin to 2B and try to trade Kipnis, if that is a better idea.

Eaton is a FA in several of my 12 teamers.

Good trades gone bad, him and Brantley for Matz. Kinda wish Pence was gone the whole season because I have to sit him on the bench until a DL spot opens up.

Going to have to talk to DDP for some playoff advice again soon since I am basically going to go 6-6 against a good team and anything else is luck.

I would only because he takes a lot of days off, that is what I found when looking at dropping Molina for him, ended up adding Vogt instead.

Ugh. Benched Tillman in roto because I was scared of the Red Sox offense. Of course he throws six scoreless with seven strikeouts and a .83 WHIP. drat you, baseball.

Tillman is a made man on my roster off the heap, Volquez and Nelson maybe I should reconsider, got 2 streaming spots open after the DBacks pitcher went to the pen. Gonna give those 2 another week and hope another streamer can catch on.
