2014 TDBL Post Draft Thread/Trade Talk

Rondosessed

?

I thought it was noteworthy that the champ was 10th. I don't agree with it. Your starting lineup bats are as good as anyone in the league.

The only things I remember are that rick made that huge jump, rondo dropped big, and that I remained about the same.

Oh, giraffe made a decent jump too.

Yeah. Like I said, I will do my usual analysis on monday where I weigh the starters more than the bench.

What i saw today was just everyone being weighed equally.

I realize my pitching is a boom or bust situation....I think if i hit on half of my toss up guys i will be alrigjt.

Id like to do it via waivers chat, but I'm having a hard time setting that up from my phone.

Id prefer if everyone held off until I figured that out.

Hoping hellickson provides a boost in june


Hopefully Hutchison is a beast too

He's the 5th pitcher....how many innings is he gonna get?

I think i grabbed value where could, although the preliminary indicators probably say my redd ranking may drop from #2. Missing a 2 and 4 im happy how i filled out my roster


Tex #208 overall- he says wrist is healthy, and im inclined to believe him. Willing to wait through his shitty April and May for him to go ham this summer

Morneau #240- ive already made my case here, health is the my only concern with the concussions.

Kendrick #261 (98% owned) - 26.2, 21.7, 20.0, 11.3, 10.3.... ownership rates of the 2Bs left on the board when i traded up. Couldn't find a trade partner to trade up in the 1st for Hill or Prado so i wasnt going to let the last decent 2B get snatched up.

Rajai Davis #292- with Dirks out atleast 12w, Davis should see a bump in playing time, despite Ausmus' recent comments. Another player who will benefit from a change of scenery. Love him at the top of that Tigers lineup

Cody Allen #301- I'm actually buying the Axford this year, but with Brothers and Jones going right before this pick i wanted to locked a top closer in waiting who'll help my ratios.

RA Dickey #320- Maybe my best value pick of the draft. His velocity picked back up last fall and he won't need to do too much to return 20th round value.

Ian Kennedy #325 -As my #5 im willing to roll the dice he can become more than simply a Petco matchup play.

Lucas Giolotti #336 - Still a year or 2 away but he's going to be a stud, already got the TJ out of the way too

Marcelo Ozuna #352 - hate the ballpark and lineup but willing gamble on the youth/upside. Marsinick is not ready, believe they'll give MOZ every chance to keeo the job

Grant Green #368- maybe my favorite pick. Scoscia has been moving him all around this spring, and if he doesnt break camp in the spring i cohld see him as a June call up utility type. See him as a high OPS run producer with multi-position eligibility.

Antonio Bastardo #375- for when (not if) Papelbon gets traded. Also gets the most bad arse name award to go along with his sick nasty K-rate

Mark Reynolds-#376 - Another older slugger moving to a hitter park. Hopefully he can start hot again and negate Tex's typical slow start.

Alcides Escober #400- read somewhere he had a ridiculously hugh babip in 2012 and a crazy low one last year. Things average out this year.and AE gives me a quality backup with 20 SB.

Bartolo Colon #416- well CitiField is not the Oakland but it will do. Moving to the NL definitely doesn't hurt. BFBC proved he could do it sans-PEDs. Counting on 1 more year of quality era and QS #s, k-rate be damned

Geovanny Soto #432- hitters park? Check. Loaded lineup? Check Guaranteed ABs? Think he'll get about 65% of the PT over JPA and make for a fine backup backstop in this format

DJ LeMahieu #438-
Needed to grab another 2B incase Green starts the year in AAA. Love DJ at the top of that lineup and Coors may even give him some cheap HRs



Now its everyones turn to tell me how bad i did. How i was gifted my keeper set and used smoke and mirrors to win the regular season last year
