Someone like Kevin Kiermaier for me isn't in Yahoo and he's a FA but me and WW would have to wait to fight it out for him if he comes back to play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted March 12 Yes, Mora explained it perfectly and much more concise than me. haha Since we still have 6 days until the soft opener, you get to deal with me analyzing my team! C - Danny Jansen (Rortvedt)..... gross. But really getting Jansen and not having to use something higher than a 6th for him was great for me. The Rays have never prioritized catcher and do not have a lot of options. The only way this position was going to get better for me was dArnaud (bot only if I got both). 1B - Yandy Diaz (Luke Raley)... comfortable here. i doubt Diaz returns to 2023 form though. Raley seems to have an everyday role in Seattle. Also b. Lowe had 1B eligibility 2B - Brandon Lowe (Jose Caballero) .... Lowe is a nice power bat second baseman if he stays healthy. BIG if. If Caballero gets playing time, he is a big steals guy SS - Willy Adames (Cruz) ... was $ last year. You don't think of him as a top fantasy SS but his numbers were sneakily top 5-6. 3B - Junior Caminero (Morel)... need a breakout from Caminero OF - Josh Lowe, Corbin Carroll, Oneil Cruz (Pham, Morel, Palacios, Raley, Siri)... Was a total shtshow before the supplemental. My only draftable OF worth much was Randy, so I pivoted to SP heavy and made the early decision to leave this spot for the Supp. Carroll was my main target as I think he has 30-50 upside. Missing Chuirio was maybe a blessing incase I need to spot start Cruz at SS. His strikeouts are bad but he has power and speed. Lowe is another Ray who needs to return to 2023 levels. The bench is full of useful players that I am glad I don't need to rely on.... for now. Util - Christopher Morel (anyone already mentioned).... He has power, and multi position eligibility. 21 long balls last year. Ideal Util? no. But certainly better now that I don't have to start him in the OF. SP - Blake Snell, Shane McClanahan (Glasnow, Eovaldi, Eflin, Springs, Bradley, Baz, Pepiot, Rasmussen, Littell, Civale)... team strength. Lots of injury risks but I can go 11 deep, 12 deep if the Rays opt for a 6 man rotation or trade away Littel. Nabbing Littel in the draft was actually key in case they option Baz or Pepiot as Littell is the only starter out of options. The core of this unit has high strikeout potential along with wins as most play for good or solid teams but total workload may tamper some of those numbers as well as QS. RP - Faucher, Alvarado (Uceta, Kelly, Clevinger, Kittredge IL)... The news of the injury to Kittredge is a real kick to the nuts. My team has no strong closer but I felt okay with his setup role in Baltmore after missing out on Fairbanks, Yates and Adam. Faucher may be the closer in Miami (yay), and Alvarado has looked good in spring so he should at least be a primary setup man if not compete for saves. I was excited to get Uceta. Fairbanks never stays healthy and may be a prime trade candidate if Tampa starts to sell. Had to scramble to ass Pagan for depth while Kittredge is on the shelf. I don't feel great overall, but then again I never feel great.... but i've had some luck making the playoffs. I just don't think there is another team in this league that has the same combinations of 1. devoid of exclusive talent 2. devoid of top end shared talent for the draft 3. ravaged by pitching injuries and needing guys to return to form Tigers? Angels? maybe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Simply have to be the first to nab them when they are added. It's unfortunate but I think in the past we tried making those claims here in a separate thread but you had to drop someone and add a random placeholder player. but it was kind of a nightmare because many owners check out of FFToday once the drafts are done and stick to the yahoo page only. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted March 26 Not that it matters, because he is exclusive, but I find it interesting that Ohtani the pitcher can be listed as IL. He is one person.

cmh6476 1,010 Posted March 27 Michael Lorenzen is the same, available as a hitter and a pitcher. Man, I royally focked up. I wanted to add Canha and went to drop Isbel on my phone. What I didn't realize was that Canha was on @ZERO Tolerance 's roster, so instead of it being an add/ drop, it was a trade request that ZT accepted.

WhiteWonder 2,675 Posted March 27 I was also wondering what happened when I saw the trade but I have no idea if Isbel is any good so I just assumed cmh and ZT worked a trade after cmh was looking for Canha. Canha could not have been freely added because he was drafted in round 12, I believe, by ZT with a placeholder. But now I understand what happened and I would say it makes sense to not hold anyone to that trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 1,010 Posted March 27 I expect Jonathan India to obtain 3B eligibility fairly quickly, and I wouldn't be surprised if Maikel Garcia winds up with OF eligibility within the first couple weeks of the season. That'll be nice to have some added flexibility with some players. 1B eligible I have: * Salvy (C) * Pasquantino * O'Hearn (OF) *Santana *Canha (OF) Each of those guys except Canha should be an everyday starter with occassional days off, but it doesn't do me much good when they are sitting on my Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
