Grandal

My lineup is hot garbage. It's still early in the season but I kind of regret taking Kris Bryant in the 1st and not someone else, Keeper league too.

Someone talk me off the ledge

.

I'm not gonna talk you off the ledge.  Terrible pick.

Just kidding.  Not a bad pick in a keeper league when he will be hitting .320 with 30+ bombs and 100 rbis year in and year out.  THis year I wouldnt count on that though.

I gotta hit up my commissioner to see if he has the draft board. I'm really curious who I could have possibly taken instead; I had the 5th or 6th pick IIRC.

Not too worried but I just want to see more production out of my top guys like him, Heyward, Odor, Panik and Lindor.

Well if you had the 5th or 6th pick then you definitely blew it.  I would much rather have any of Correa, Stanton, Kershaw, Machado or Donaldson than Bryant (for now or the future).  And obviously, most of those guys were there at 5 or 6.

Maybe I don't wanna see who I could have had .

I wanna say Correa and Donaldson were gone. Harper, Trout and McCutchen went 1-2-3 I believe.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I would've preferred Rizzo, Correa, JD or Machado. Stanton too but I understand the health concerns.

Ok well if the draft went Harper, Trout, McCutchen, Correa, Donaldson and you had the #6....then you absolutely blew it.

Goldschmidt, Kershaw, Machado, or Stanton are all players I would rather build around than Bryant. (and Rizzo & Arenado being coin flips)

Any of you buying into Latos, Happ and Ian Kennedy's starts so far? Surprisingly good so far

 

[checks grossman]

Ian Kennedy ought to do well in kc. Latos/happ will regress some, they're closer to spot start guys for me.

 

[macbk]

Heyward so far this season :x . Always putting up 0fers. Wish defensive stats counted .

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I hate sharing a team. Picked up Pomeranz three days ago co owner drops him the next day for colon

 

[CrownRoyalDaddy]

Pomeranz has been a nice little pickup for me

 

[macbk]

Pomeranz has been a nice little pickup for me

Just picked him up and dropped Stripling. Also dropped Russell Martin and picked up Beltran #HotTake , rolling with Realmuto but if Grandal is still available come Monday (I'm out of transactions for this week), I'm probably going to grab him.

 

[stick]

Was just gonna come in here and ask about Pomeranz (and Rick Porcello). I'm thinking about dumping Dickey for him. Anyone worth getting rid of for Porcello?

[johnnyredstorm]

I like the idea of Pomeranz. Low pressure environment, pitcher's park, has always been talented. Maybe he's finally pieced it together, maybe this is an aberration. Either way, I'd roster him, especially at the expense of Dickey.

Porcello....I was big on him last year, and it left me really soured. The sample size is too small at the moment to get a good read on his peripherals. Some stuff says bust, other stuff makes him look intriguing. If I was dropping a Dickey caliber pitcher, I'd do it, but with what you have rostered, Idk if you can make a move for Porcello. Maybe Kazmir if he keeps getting roughed up. I don't like Estrada, but with that offense, wins are a possibility.

 

[macbk]

Figures I #HotTake hard for Beltran and he goes 0-5 tonight with 3 Ks .

 

[ii flash ii]

Arrieta and Volquez

 

[run.lmc]

Finally Gerrit Cole gets that 1st W much needed.

 

[JCMojica24]

Need to pick up a catcher bc Rusell Martin is horrible

I dropped him yesterday. If Grandal is around by Monday I am scooping him up and dropping Realmuto.

 

[run.lmc]

Blake Snell getting called up for tomorrow's start against the Yanks.

Blake Snell getting called up for tomorrow's start against the Yanks.

Yanks are notoriously bad against pitchers they've never faced before. He's worth a start.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I picked up Erasmo Ramirez cause he was slated to start. Damn.

 

[nomnom]

Hope I hold the fort down against Pizzo tomorrow

On a side note, JRS you've been on top of the prospects pickups...first Snell now Blair haha. Too bad Snell is going back down to AAA tmrw =(
