I dropped Carlos Martinez for the 5 player draft when he was unknown. I thought I could pick him up again later but one person knew who he was.

I just pulled off my 3rd big move in the last 6 months to complete the destruction of my farm system. I still have a few prospects but it's getting thin compared to usual.

i think all of those deals were good in a vacuum and excellent for someone in win-now mode. you didn't overpay or anything imo. hopefully one of us can win this year; has anyone been more unlucky in this league than the 2 of us?

 

 

also, how do you view sale's value relative to CC? i would deal CC for sale + [one of maybe 6-7 guys on your roster]

Sale > CC - even with injury concerns 23 > 32

 

I actually am happy with all of the deals also. I gave up some good prospects but I got back some well above average currently good players that aren't old. I remember the Votto trade from 3 yrs ago. I'm still waiting for JMontero and Drabek to become good players. Perhaps I traded away a stud but whatever. I've also moved enough guys that I won't have any tough cuts.

 

I got

Sale

Weeks - I never thought I would have owned him

Pablo

Harvey

 

I gave up 4 stud prospects

Sano

Skaggs

Myers

Bogaerts

 

and some good but not great prospects

Arcia - he could be better than all of the above though

Heredia

Ventura

Odor

Alonso

Erlin

hendricks

Dave and I completed a trade tonight. I'm sure both of us have some bitter grapes about the players acquired and dealt.

 

Lincecum

Doumit

 

for

 

Pineda

Avila

2014 1st round milb pick

It's risky for both of us. Could end up being a disaster for one us, who that is is up in the air at this point.

i think pineda is done. i like this deal for dave.

I like the trade for Psuedo due to Avila and the #1 pick. However Lincecum could make this a huge win for Dave.

 

After the Perkins trade I'm back to +1 MLB'ers. I'll probably shop Bass/TWood although each could be a solid starter.

Hmm. I'm thinking I'm going to go with Giolito despite the TJ surgery. Too much ceiling to pass up. I just hope the guy in front of me doesn't swoop in and take him.

**** I'm thinking either Soler or Almora

I also took the riskier higher upside Cuban. All of my favorites disappeared and it came down to him and Seager.

Do you guys like wachha

Dave, what will you give me for Berrios?

Do you guys like wachha

 

Yes...

 

I had a list of guys that I thought might drop to me:

Dahl - taken too early

Fried

Russell

Wacha

Seager but I decided to take a chance on Puig

I was really hoping Stroman would slip to my second round pick. Oh well.

so was I haha

 

really happy to land Clint Coulter there though. not sure where i'm gonna end up with my 34th pick but i'm very happy with the first 2 rounds either way.

I really like Puig and thought about taking him there too. It was really between Wacha, Puig and Seager for me and I think they all went consecutively..

I took a bit of chance and went after another BJ pitcher in Smoral. He was hurt last year, but the guy is huge, so there's some projection to go along with his sleeperness. We'll see.

 

I was looking to take the Reds first rounder Nick Travieso, but that pick seemed so boring.

i may take travieso with my next pick but everything i'm reading says he may end up in the pen. do not like.

went with shane watson. not crazy about him or the other options at this stage.

it's strange, I think I dislike every Cuban in the MLB but now I have 2.

Made a little trade today. Wade Davis for a 2nd round Milb pick. It might not work out, but with the roster crunch coming, I was probably going to drop him (or he'd be the last guy I kept). Maybe I could have gotten more, but I needed to clear some space and I didn't want to take any players back in return.

I'm in the same position with Arrieta, Wood and Bass.

Get what you can. Milb picks are great sweetners in future trades, even if they don't end up turning into good players.
