The way this matchup is going, I will be eliminated from the playoffs this week unless something crazy changes. I want someone worth keeping and don't mind sending both closers or someone else with them.

Gotcha, I thought you were still in it and wanted SP.

I only need one closer, but I think I will just roll with what I got.

What I am interested in, at this point, is upgrading a keeper or two. My team has lots of talent and I would be willing to package two or even three of the following players for a strong keeper upgrade.

Sal Perez - #2 C
Travis Shaw - #3 3B, #5 1B
Elvis Andrews - #1 SS
Marwin Gonzalez - #4 SS(eligible at 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, OF)
Adam Jones - 19 bombs
Lorenzo Cain - 19 steals
Matt Davidson - 22 bombs
Carlos Santana
Maikel Franco

Zack Grienke
AJ Ramos
Cody Allen

Do you think Gyno should have gotten a pick too?

Smoak is a top 15 overall player this year and a top 10 hitter on the player rater. Grienke and Allen will not be keepers for me, Smoak will. I don't understand what you are questioning.

Greinke and Allen won't be keepers for me either

Smoak is gonna hit 40 HRs in the rogers centre every year

He is performing better this year, yes. I wouldn't keep him though. Too up and down. Aging, ETC.

Not to mention Cody Allen is the #22 ranked RP. Not sure what these mates don't get.

They wouldn't bat an eye at a 4th rd pick

40 HR bat goes out and it shocks the system

Greinke is the sixth rated SP if you are gonna use the player rater argument.

I know he was thrown back last year, but he has been great this season.

I have no problem with the trade, but calling Greinke a non-keeper is silly.

Is he not one of the 96 best keepers right now?

Again, the trade is fine. You got a guy who should be an elite slugger going forward.

I just think you guys saying Greinke is not a keeper is dumb, especially with your lack of arms. Like you said, he is ranked 53rd overall.

So to say he's gonna hit 40 every year is silly. Chris Colabello was on pace to hit 40 there one time, I think.

I am not worried about what you consider to be dumb. He finished 302 on the PR last year, will be 34 in a couple of months and pitches regularly against the Dodgers and Rockies. I ain't saying he sucks but he's not an ideal keeper for me. It's ok to project in fantasy. I think it's going to go back down hill for him soon and I wouldn't want to keep him.

You may be an awesome judge of intelligence but we will agree to disagree here.
