GuardBum 68 Posted March 22 yeah Rodon also side by side with Severino for me. Gallen and Gilbert I really didn't want. nor McKenzie. I'd have thought about Webb but the lack of dominance with him turns me off reaching for a SP1/2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmh6476 517 Posted March 22 This may be the first time in our leagues history. Nobody from the royals was taken by any other owner. I have everyone available to be on our big league 25. That has to be a first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At the end of the day I felt like he has had 2 good seasons, forearm issues scare me and he’s a Yankee. Maybe Gallen can build off last season and maybe Arizona can be just a tad bit better. if he misses 3 starts, returns and dominates as the strikeout pitcher he has been, we will all lament it haha.

The Os are loaded with exclusives, and the non-exclusives aren't highly sought-after. The top two may be Mateo and Kyle Gibson. I would have grabbed Lyles if he'd lasted long enough. Starting pitchers with a pulse will always be welcome on my team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Contrères is exclusive. I made a priority to target Cardinals starting pitchers and grabbed all the starters. All the prominent relievers are exclusive.

WhiteWonder 1,697 Posted March 26 One supplemental pick injured. Wonder what team will get the 'Red Cross Rangers' award this year? (not me, yet. Severino is the injured player) .... although Franco is already going for a quad MRI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Severino is the injured player) .... although Franco is already going for a quad MRI Carlos Rodón (elbow) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Monday. Rodón will open the regular season on the injured list, but is making steady progress in his recovery from a mild left elbow strain, and is aiming to return sometime in mid-to-late April. Triston McKenzie is likely to miss up to eight weeks after being diagnosed Monday with a strain of the teres major muscle in his right shoulder. Got lucky in dodging this one. If you had asked me why I took Logan Webb over McKenzie (the two were basically ranked the same), I would have said "I don't know." Webb has basically been good for one more year.
