Wow this kid can rake. I added him last week and he has been exceptional so far. I hope he can keep a solid pace moving forward



A small thanks to Louie T and LE for putting Grandal on my radar in a previous thread.

No doubt he can rake. I wouldn't fall too in love with his power, though. All of his HRs have come on the road in the most hitter friendly parks in the MLB (COL and ARZ).

Playing in SD will limit his HRs, but he will still have a nice OPS with good run production numbers.

absolutely. I'm trying to keep my expectations in check for sure but its hard to not get excited. He has earned to the starting roll over Arencibia on my roster for now.

LE is a smart cat.

Like Gyno said I wouldn't expect the power to continue to surge. He's hit a few that wouldn't get out of Petco, but he should be a 15 HR guy which is still very valuable. He should also have quite a long leash since Hundley was so bad.

If Grandal is available I'd definitely add him. Drop Fowler maybe? Middlebrooks looks like he is about to hit the DL also.

There's a lot of people on FA even for 12 team league. How do you want me to tell you the top 10 FA, Last 30 days, based on Rank?

You need some power at the 1B position. Leave Posey at catcher.

I'm getting huge power from Kubel and Cano. I understand what you mean.

The idea of 1B in FA market according to Last 30 days.

Garrett Jones
Brandon Moss
Casey McGhee
Tyler Moore
Carlos Pena
Casey Kotchman


That's on the FA wire.

Moving forward, who is the best option in my auction league?

My team is:

Mauer @ $20
Napoli @ $30
Grandal @ $1

I was seriously considering keeping Mauer and Grandal and be happy with my C position for $21...
