i'm desperate right now for stats (11th/12) so i dont think i can hold lee for that long

im thinking verlander and leake

desperate for what stats?

that list of players isn't good.

Eovaldi, Verlander, Lee, Peralta, Gallardo simply aren't good fantasy options aymore
 
Polanco to be called up Friday. Pick him up ASAP.
Pittsburgh now has their leadoff man of the future.

Verlander is the obvious top choice. I'd take Lee after that, even with the elbow injury. He has elite ace fantasy potential. When healthy, can't name many SP's in the MLB better than Cliff Lee. Even at 35-years old.

If not Lee, I'd bank on Masterson returning to form. His last start was promising. Or Eovaldi, but I do worry about his long-term run support.

Verlander and Eovaldi?

I offered Gomez for Wainwright. Good idea?
I prefer "Waino" to Carlos Gomez. He's the NL Cy Young leader right now along with Greinke. Two shutouts for Wainwright already this season, don't see him slowing down.

I give
Ian Kinsler

I get
Daniel Murphy
Melky Cabrera

Thoughts?
No deal. Murph is a good hitter but I expect Melky Cabrera to fade rather soon. Kinsler is still a top-5 fantasy 2B, even though we realize he's declining. Seems motivated to sleight Texas for trading him.

Is JJ Hardy going to hit a homer this year? :smh:
Shocking his BA is this high and homer count is this low.
 
polanco did not get called up today

Gotta be next week as someone said though...I don't know what the Pirates would be waiting for.

It's not their fault he didn't take the contract offer. They're a low budget team, they're gonna wait to call him up. A lot of fans are now suddenly Super Two geniuses and have no idea what they're talking about :lol: there's no set date. No one knows when the 22% cut off is going to be.
 
For the guys who don't sign, yep. It gives the team an extra year of arbitration, so the lower level teams do it all the time. Another stupid ******* rule from the new CBA. It used to be 17%. Rays exploited that system for years. It's why Longoria might go down as one of the most criminally underpaid players every :lol:

Long story short, don't hold your breath for this kid unless he signs a deal.

so when is the absolute latest that the pirates can call him up and still re-sign him?
 
What to do with Joe Nathan? Dude is stinking it up :smh: I have Holland and Cishek as my other closers

Just wondering if I should do anything with my pitching staff right now. Started the year with Jose Fernandez and Matt Moore but they both went down so right now my starters consist of Wacha, Kazmir, Y. Ventura, Jesse Chavez, Shields, Kluber and Cliff Lee (DL spot for now). The top free agents are Keuchel, Hammel, Ian Kennedy, Tyson Ross, Archer, and Phil Hughes. My team is comfortably in first so should I just leave it as is until Lee comes back? I could trade a 1st baseman if I needed to.. I have A. Gonzalez, Goldschmidt and Adam Lind.
