Tout NL Live Blog! TRANSCRIPT!

[Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM] meeson834: only an hour away! Im excited too see who will be the 1st one thrown out. Ill bet Kemp
[Mar 24 2013, 1:24 PM] TozRotoThink: Good morning everyone.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:25 PM] Tim McLeod: Lots of injuries in NL, should be very interesting today
[Mar 24 2013, 1:25 PM] Tim McLeod: Morning Toz
[Mar 24 2013, 1:26 PM] TozRotoThink: Morning sir…you have a busy blogging schedule, eh?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:26 PM] KaaashMan: Heya, yep should be.. what does Boggs/Motte go for, for one example.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:26 PM] Tim McLeod: Have a busy everything Toz
[Mar 24 2013, 1:26 PM] TozRotoThink: I hear that my friend. Well, despite being a couple of hours away, I’ll come and live blog with you.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:27 PM] Tim McLeod: excellent!
[Mar 24 2013, 1:27 PM] Tim McLeod: Two more drafts to go and I’m done. Cut way back this year
[Mar 24 2013, 1:28 PM] KaaashMan: My home leagues don’t draft for 2 more weeks.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:28 PM] TozRotoThink: LOL. Not as far back as I did. So, I was listening to the guys on Fantasy Pros in the car on the way home this morning. Category dumping – what is your opinion?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:28 PM] Tim McLeod: not a big fan Toz
[Mar 24 2013, 1:29 PM] TozRotoThink: Mike and I have written about this a lot. I think it is a better keeper league tool than fresh auction tool.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:29 PM] Tim McLeod: even 3-4 points in a cat better than blowing it off completely?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:29 PM] TozRotoThink: Depends on the investment, right?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:29 PM] Tim McLeod: of course
[Mar 24 2013, 1:30 PM] TozRotoThink: I like category dumping in keeper leagues, based on keep lists and inflation. Sometimes it is hard to buy those points in the category, and sometimes (saves in particular), you get lucky.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:30 PM] TozRotoThink: Fresh leagues – not the same pressures.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:30 PM] Tim McLeod: very much so on saves
[Mar 24 2013, 1:30 PM] TozRotoThink: I think we’ll see some interesting saves plays today 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 1:31 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed
[Mar 24 2013, 1:31 PM] KaaashMan: Well with Lenny, we know how he’ll play it
[Mar 24 2013, 1:31 PM] Tim McLeod: lol, he won’t
[Mar 24 2013, 1:32 PM] TozRotoThink: No truer words spoken. I’m at a disadvantage today…Mike G. and I usually have days to discuss strategy. I’m going in blind today, but I know him well enough.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:32 PM] TozRotoThink: I don’t think he’ll do what he did last year.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:33 PM] Tim McLeod: I tried sneaking in Trout in CBS and he put the brakes on that pretty quick
[Mar 24 2013, 1:34 PM] TozRotoThink: LOL – good luck with that. Mike is the best price enforcer I know.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:34 PM] Tim McLeod: no doubt
[Mar 24 2013, 1:34 PM] TozRotoThink: We talked about Trout before that auction in particular.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:34 PM] Tim McLeod: A very polarizing player this year, very divided opinions
[Mar 24 2013, 1:35 PM] KaaashMan: Do you guys believe in the HUGE Trout regression?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:35 PM] Tim McLeod: define huge?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:35 PM] TozRotoThink: No. Without the definition.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:35 PM] Tim McLeod: I own Trout in four draft leagues this year drafting out of the #2 slot. My thoughts are pretty obvious
[Mar 24 2013, 1:36 PM] KaaashMan: basically what people were projecting going into last year .280ish 15HR 35SB.. etc.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:36 PM] TozRotoThink: The trick in auction leagues is the right price. I don’t mind overpaying a buck or two for him as a top tier player, but where is the cut-off?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:36 PM] Tim McLeod: exactly
[Mar 24 2013, 1:37 PM] TozRotoThink: Trout is probably a $38-$40 player, barring injury. What do you pay for him is the question.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:37 PM] bigjim22: As a Braun owner should I be worried that MLB seems to be going after him?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:38 PM] TozRotoThink: I don’t think so bigjim. I don’t think MLB is going to get him; the risk is so small, I think you need to pay full price.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:38 PM] Tim McLeod: I think thatfor a suspension there has to be more than innuendo, PA would be all over it and tied up in courts for years. He hasn’t failed a test in past year and undoubtedly has been tested to max
[Mar 24 2013, 1:38 PM] KaaashMan: Trout went 2nd in my NFBC Satt. league. First 3 picks were chalk, so no fear of a Braun issue there.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:39 PM] TozRotoThink: From my lawyer hat, I think Braun is safe.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:39 PM] TozRotoThink: And agree with Tim.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:39 PM] bigjim22: That is what I thought. No proof – no suspension
[Mar 24 2013, 1:40 PM] TozRotoThink: Tim, where do you think the Dom Brown spring hype takes us today in NL-only?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:40 PM] Tim McLeod: mid-teens?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:40 PM] Tim McLeod: that one has me very interested, as does Boggs
[Mar 24 2013, 1:41 PM] bigjim22: Tim are you playing NL only today?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:41 PM] Tim McLeod: no, I’m a mixed league guy
[Mar 24 2013, 1:41 PM] TozRotoThink: I would think so. I could see Brown creeping to $17 if he comes late; $12 if he comes out early.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:41 PM] TozRotoThink: Boggs is intriguing. I’ve owned him at some point in each of the last three years.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:41 PM] bigjim22: Did you get your Asian pitchers? 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 1:41 PM] Tim McLeod: and what about Rosenthal as a spec buy?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:42 PM] TozRotoThink: I love Rosenthal. I think he is a great spec buy, but I think the room will either enforce him correctly or overpay a bit – no bargain to be had there.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:42 PM] Tim McLeod: yup
[Mar 24 2013, 1:42 PM] TozRotoThink: We see that year after year. Frankly, I’m surprised Mike G. got Harper last year for only $6 (if memory serves me right).
[Mar 24 2013, 1:43 PM] TozRotoThink: I thought he would go at least $1-$2 more than that.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:43 PM] Tim McLeod: in some leagues yes on Asian pitchers, others no. I find that because I write about NPB guys people assume I’ll overpay, not always the case
[Mar 24 2013, 1:43 PM] bigjim22: How about estimates for injured guys? McCann, Hart, etc
[Mar 24 2013, 1:43 PM] TozRotoThink: Now if those were Asian female pitchers, Tim would overpay.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:43 PM] Tim McLeod: in a heartbeat, lol
[Mar 24 2013, 1:44 PM] Tim McLeod: McCann pushed back to May I believe?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:44 PM] TozRotoThink: I’m checking on that now.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:44 PM] bigjim22: How much should he go for?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:45 PM] TozRotoThink: In this room? I think he gets a couple of dollar shave.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:47 PM] Tim McLeod: Cedeno over Greene in Houston, a bit surprised with that news
[Mar 24 2013, 1:48 PM] TozRotoThink: Such wonderful options.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:48 PM] Tim McLeod: yes
[Mar 24 2013, 1:48 PM] Tim McLeod: One can only hoard so many Cards castoffs
[Mar 24 2013, 1:48 PM] TozRotoThink: True
[Mar 24 2013, 1:49 PM] KaaashMan: Who gets the saves in Hou, depending on if they win a game?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:49 PM] TozRotoThink: The Astros are making a number of interesting decisions.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:49 PM] Tim McLeod: yes, very
[Mar 24 2013, 1:49 PM] Tim McLeod: so are the Dodgers
[Mar 24 2013, 1:50 PM] TozRotoThink: Veras probably closes. But the Ambriz arm is something to watch.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:50 PM] bigjim22: When will Puig get a shot in LA?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:50 PM] Tim McLeod: Dee Gordon has fallen out of favour big time on the coast
[Mar 24 2013, 1:50 PM] TozRotoThink: Keep in mind, btw, the Marlins didn’t win many games opening year, but their closer had 45 saves.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:50 PM] TozRotoThink: Yes he has.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:50 PM] Tim McLeod: Crawford, Kemp, and Ethier hold that answer
[Mar 24 2013, 1:51 PM] bigjim22: Not exactly pictures of health
[Mar 24 2013, 1:51 PM] TozRotoThink: Projected first injury for those guys: already overdue.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:51 PM] Tim McLeod: ha
[Mar 24 2013, 1:51 PM] bigjim22: Too bad Puig isn’t an infielder
[Mar 24 2013, 1:52 PM] Tim McLeod: I like Cishek, but wouldn’t mind owning AJ Ramos just in case
[Mar 24 2013, 1:52 PM] TozRotoThink: Scott Gardner has gone on Twitter predicting a $40 price on Kemp today.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:52 PM] TozRotoThink: And $30 for both Kershaw and Strasburg.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:52 PM] Tim McLeod: I’m a bit concerned about Kemp
[Mar 24 2013, 1:52 PM] TozRotoThink: I am as well. I think $40 is a danger price.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:52 PM] Tim McLeod: shoulders don’t always respond
[Mar 24 2013, 1:53 PM] Tim McLeod: first month could be rough
[Mar 24 2013, 1:54 PM] Tim McLeod: Now what about young Mr. Harper? How high for that potential today Toz?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:54 PM] TozRotoThink: My number? I like $26.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:55 PM] KaaashMan: Harper goes low 30’s.. Liss is in the room.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:55 PM] TozRotoThink: Timing is everything here, but I think we’re plus or minus $2 on that number.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:55 PM] TozRotoThink: I did forget about Liss. What color scarf is he wearing today Tim?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:56 PM] Tim McLeod: have no idea, I’m 1500 miles away and can’t see anything other than 8 foot snowbanks
[Mar 24 2013, 1:56 PM] TozRotoThink: LOL
[Mar 24 2013, 1:56 PM] TozRotoThink: I’ll have to Tweet someone in the room.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:56 PM] Tim McLeod: It’s spring somewhere, but not here
[Mar 24 2013, 1:58 PM] Jacob Lesandrini: How scary is Motte right now to you guys?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:59 PM] Tim McLeod: They must be getting ready to roll. Jason doing the live blog today?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:59 PM] bigjim22: Is Cowgill going to get playing time in NY?
[Mar 24 2013, 1:59 PM] Tim McLeod: very on Motte
[Mar 24 2013, 1:59 PM] TozRotoThink: I’m not sure who is live blogging, but it would help to have someone in the room doing it 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 1:59 PM] Tim McLeod: yes, I have spreadsheet up so can announce prices as they appear
[Mar 24 2013, 1:59 PM] TozRotoThink: Motte gets a full injury discount to my default crappy closer price: $9.
[Mar 24 2013, 1:59 PM] TozRotoThink: Same.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:00 PM] TozRotoThink: I think you have to buy Motte at some point. But be prepared to lose on the exchange.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:00 PM] Jacob Lesandrini: handcuff with rosenthal?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:00 PM] Tim McLeod: Boggs
[Mar 24 2013, 2:01 PM] Chris Graham: rosenthall if you are in a keeper league IMHO
[Mar 24 2013, 2:01 PM] TozRotoThink: Depends on the price.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:01 PM] Tim McLeod: but do you want to pay that price? I sure wouldn’t..on Motte and Boggs
[Mar 24 2013, 2:01 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed on Rosenthal long-term
[Mar 24 2013, 2:02 PM] Jacob Lesandrini: good point
[Mar 24 2013, 2:02 PM] TozRotoThink: Rosenthal is a better long term keeper, but your opponents will know that as well.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:02 PM] Tim McLeod: yes, agreed Toz, no surprises
[Mar 24 2013, 2:03 PM] Jacob Lesandrini: thanks for the input, good luck to everybody today have fun
[Mar 24 2013, 2:03 PM] Chris Graham: yep..all it takes is one other owner with money sold on the same guy to make him not a bargain
[Mar 24 2013, 2:03 PM] TozRotoThink: Apparently Wilderman just walked in late, so we’re delayed.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:04 PM] Tim McLeod: I feel for those drafting early in NL, Broxton owners can’t be happy right about now
[Mar 24 2013, 2:04 PM] TozRotoThink: No. Not even a little bit. The problem with early auctions of course.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:05 PM] Jacob Lesandrini: they had to have known the risk was there
[Mar 24 2013, 2:05 PM] Chris Graham: hopefully they got him at a discount
[Mar 24 2013, 2:05 PM] TozRotoThink: True, and that factors into the price.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:05 PM] Tim McLeod: yes, but Reds seem awful committed to Aroldis as a starter
[Mar 24 2013, 2:05 PM] Tim McLeod: until past week
[Mar 24 2013, 2:06 PM] TozRotoThink: I think we’re going to see some issues with the Reds and Chapman at some point.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:06 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed
[Mar 24 2013, 2:06 PM] TozRotoThink: I think there is a story there. We just haven’t heard it yet.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:06 PM] Tim McLeod: and this past week just the beginning
[Mar 24 2013, 2:06 PM] Chris Graham: don’t see how without a 3rd pitch they were that sold on him starting..wishful thinking on the Reds part maybe?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:06 PM] KaaashMan: Everyone assumes Chapman has no risk now as a closer.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:07 PM] Tim McLeod: shoulder fatigue last year at end of August?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:07 PM] Chris Graham: yep
[Mar 24 2013, 2:07 PM] TozRotoThink: We are apparently ready to go if Twitter is accurate…and everything on the Internet is true, no?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:07 PM] KaaashMan: This is a good time to be getting Broxton cheap if you can.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:07 PM] Tim McLeod: never lies Toz, never
[Mar 24 2013, 2:08 PM] Tim McLeod: I wish I had a radio feed
[Mar 24 2013, 2:08 PM] TozRotoThink: I do. In my car.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:08 PM] TozRotoThink: That doesn’t help.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:08 PM] Tim McLeod: but to damn cold to sit in my car
[Mar 24 2013, 2:08 PM] bigjim22: Sign up for a free sirius trial
[Mar 24 2013, 2:08 PM] bigjim22: That is what I did
[Mar 24 2013, 2:09 PM] TozRotoThink: And with Ray Flowers and Jeff Erickson commentating, I think we’re all missing out by not listening.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:09 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed
[Mar 24 2013, 2:09 PM] Chris Graham: thanks for the great idea on the free trial..what channel is it on?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:10 PM] bigjim22: 210
[Mar 24 2013, 2:10 PM] Tim McLeod: or 87?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:10 PM] KaaashMan: 210/87
[Mar 24 2013, 2:10 PM] TozRotoThink: Jason Collette will be with us shortly apparently.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:10 PM] Tim McLeod: ah, slept in did he?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:10 PM] Tim McLeod: Foley’s must have been fun last night
[Mar 24 2013, 2:11 PM] TozRotoThink: From the pictures I’ve seen, yes. And I missed my chance to meet Hey Kay Adams!
[Mar 24 2013, 2:11 PM] Tim McLeod: Yes, saw the pic with Jason
[Mar 24 2013, 2:11 PM] TozRotoThink: A sad day. I haven’t met Jen Royle either, who I would love to sit and have a beer with.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] Tim McLeod: maybe next year for me.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] Slyke18: Hey Toz. How you doin’ pal?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] Tim McLeod: Slyke!
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] TozRotoThink: Mr. Slyke! Miss me?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] BlairWendell: I’m curious to see how this all plays out, compared to my NFBC nl-only friday…
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] Slyke18: Terribly, pal!
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] TozRotoThink: There’s Jason…good to see you pal.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] Jason Collette: HEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLO PEOPLE
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] TozRotoThink: I was going to call you later Slyke
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] KaaashMan: Hello!!!!
[Mar 24 2013, 2:12 PM] Tim McLeod: good morning
[Mar 24 2013, 2:13 PM] Jason Collette: please keep the shouting down to a dull roar as I is hung over
[Mar 24 2013, 2:13 PM] Tim McLeod: Nice pic of you with Kay
[Mar 24 2013, 2:13 PM] TozRotoThink: Really? Shocking.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:13 PM] Tim McLeod: can’t believe it
[Mar 24 2013, 2:13 PM] TozRotoThink: No Shake Shack for you.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:13 PM] Jason Collette: I took a 3 hr nap before coming here
[Mar 24 2013, 2:14 PM] Tim McLeod: try the hair ofthe dog that bit you, get you into shape in no time
[Mar 24 2013, 2:14 PM] TozRotoThink: Twitter says we’ve started Jason…get typing 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 2:14 PM] TozRotoThink: Tim and I are tired already.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:14 PM] Chris Graham: on break
[Mar 24 2013, 2:15 PM] Jason Collette: spreadsheet tech issue at the moment
[Mar 24 2013, 2:15 PM] Tim McLeod: same as yesterday
[Mar 24 2013, 2:15 PM] TozRotoThink: Gotcha. That’s because I’m not there doing it.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] Tim McLeod: Is it supposed to auto-update?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] Chris Graham: what kinda value u guys putting on Gyorko?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] Jason Collette: and herrrrrrrrrre we go
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] Jason Collette: Harper $33
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] Tim McLeod: Liss?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] Jason Collette: Gyorko – $10
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] TozRotoThink: Well, throw my number in the potty.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] Chris Graham: ty
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] Jason Collette: of course Chris
[Mar 24 2013, 2:16 PM] TozRotoThink: What color scarf is he wearing Jason?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:17 PM] KaaashMan: See.. low 30’s 😉 Liss never fails.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:17 PM] Jason Collette: no scarf…..Ryan Braun $41 to Carty
[Mar 24 2013, 2:17 PM] TozRotoThink: No scarf? Holy cow.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:17 PM] Tim McLeod: ’tis a brave new world out there
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] TozRotoThink: With Braun at $41, I think Kemp goes under $40.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] Jason Collette: he may have hid the scarf before I stumbled in here
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed Toz
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] Jason Collette: Posey $28 to Carty
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] Tim McLeod: spending early
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] Jason Collette: mind blown – Carty not sitting on money as he did in LABR
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] TozRotoThink: Carty’s goal is to leave no money on the table this year.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] TozRotoThink: He was tweeting about it earlier.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] Jason Collette: and he just bought Kershaw for $32
[Mar 24 2013, 2:18 PM] Tim McLeod: He did in CBS, no repeats here
[Mar 24 2013, 2:19 PM] BlairWendell: LABR
[Mar 24 2013, 2:19 PM] TozRotoThink: The room, off my bid prices, is already +10.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:19 PM] Tim McLeod: I hope he brought a pillow as soon it will be nap time
[Mar 24 2013, 2:19 PM] TozRotoThink: Money going early and often so far.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:19 PM] Jason Collette: Liss goes all Nationals and gets Strasburg at $29
[Mar 24 2013, 2:19 PM] TozRotoThink: I like $29 for Strasburg.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:20 PM] TozRotoThink: There is potential for a small profit at that price.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:20 PM] Jason Collette: Justin Upton $35 to Lenny
[Mar 24 2013, 2:20 PM] TozRotoThink: No profit potential there imo.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:21 PM] Tim McLeod: very little if any, agreed
[Mar 24 2013, 2:21 PM] Jason Collette: McCutchen $35 to Melnick as well….Lenny loves his big outfielders
[Mar 24 2013, 2:21 PM] Jason Collette: Votto $37 to Kreutzer
[Mar 24 2013, 2:21 PM] TozRotoThink: I assume Mike G. was involved on Votto there Jason.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:21 PM] TozRotoThink: That is pretty close to his bid price, I’m sure.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:21 PM] Tim McLeod: thought he might get a bit closer to 40
[Mar 24 2013, 2:21 PM] Jason Collette: wainwright $24 to Pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 2:22 PM] Jason Collette: Papeldouche $20 to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 2:22 PM] bretsayre: love wainwright, but thought he’d go for a little less than that
[Mar 24 2013, 2:23 PM] TozRotoThink: Agree – I have that about $2-$3 over my price.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:23 PM] Jason Collette: what I like about this league is the predictability of some of the owners & who they target
[Mar 24 2013, 2:23 PM] Jason Collette: Parnell $13 to Lord Zola
[Mar 24 2013, 2:23 PM] Tim McLeod: veteran group
[Mar 24 2013, 2:23 PM] TozRotoThink: Indeed.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:23 PM] TozRotoThink: I’m curious to see if Lord Zola executes the strategy he talked about on the radio this morning.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] Tim McLeod: what was that Toz?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] Jason Collette: he flew on the red eye here
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] BlairWendell: Zola doubled up on LA’s half closers in NFBC friday, looks like he’s changing it up
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] TozRotoThink: He was talking about his hitter strategy.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] Jason Collette: they asked me about radio this morning and I laughed….CarGo to Melnick at $36
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] Tim McLeod: all OF tie for Lenny
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] Tim McLeod: time
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] Jason Collette: Lenny $106 on 3 OF
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] TozRotoThink: Pretty typical Lenny here.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:24 PM] Jason Collette: Lucroy $16 to Gardner
[Mar 24 2013, 2:25 PM] Tim McLeod: Who’s running the auction this morning Jason
[Mar 24 2013, 2:25 PM] TozRotoThink: I’ll talk more about Lord Zola on a break.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:25 PM] Jason Collette: the competition here should be to predict which 3 $1 relievers Lenny will pick for his surefire future closers
[Mar 24 2013, 2:25 PM] Jason Collette: Brian is running the auction – same guy who did our AL yesterday
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] TozRotoThink: Not surprising to see Cockcroft and Hertz hanging back. Surprising to see Mike G. not out spending early.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] TozRotoThink: A change in strategy from prior years.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] Jason Collette: Roy Halladay goes $15 – one dollar for every MPH on his fastball – to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] Chris Graham: 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] Tim McLeod: nice….
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] TozRotoThink: $15 in NL-only is a good gamble price. You need to back him up with another ace though.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] bigjim22: How many saves you think Parnell finishes with?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] Tim McLeod: but possibly true, I think he winds up here with Jays
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] Jason Collette: Gianella has actively bid though right up to the end. Kimbrel $23 to Wilderman & gianella was $22
[Mar 24 2013, 2:26 PM] Jason Collette: Parnell = high teen saves
[Mar 24 2013, 2:27 PM] TozRotoThink: I said earlier…he is the best price enforcer in the room.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:27 PM] TozRotoThink: And most loyal to his bid prices imo.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:27 PM] TozRotoThink: Sometimes to a detriment.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:27 PM] Jason Collette: Kemp $36..not to Lenny but to Wilderman
[Mar 24 2013, 2:27 PM] Tim McLeod: Lenny finally passed on an OF?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:27 PM] TozRotoThink: Still risk at $36 with the shoulder, but that price is okay.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:27 PM] Jason Collette: Stanton $37 to Liss
[Mar 24 2013, 2:28 PM] TozRotoThink: Carty tweets regret
[Mar 24 2013, 2:29 PM] TozRotoThink: Like Kemp at $36 better than Braun at $41.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:29 PM] Jason Collette: Lenny gets Colvin at $12 so that’s 4 OFers for $115
[Mar 24 2013, 2:29 PM] Jason Collette: Hamels $26 to the piano man
[Mar 24 2013, 2:29 PM] TozRotoThink: I love that price there.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:29 PM] Jason Collette: I love Hamels
[Mar 24 2013, 2:29 PM] Joel Henard: Jason- Colvin has 1b elig.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:29 PM] KaaashMan: Colvin could be worth 20 or 2.. depending on Helton’s health.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:30 PM] Jason Collette: he won’t play Colvin there 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 2:30 PM] Joel Henard: LOL I KNOW
[Mar 24 2013, 2:30 PM] TozRotoThink: I predict some profit on that Hamels price.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:30 PM] Jason Collette: Gio Gonzalez $22 to Lenny – does he have OF eligibility?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:30 PM] Tim McLeod: apparently, YES
[Mar 24 2013, 2:30 PM] donbru: Spreadsheet says Hamels $27
[Mar 24 2013, 2:30 PM] TozRotoThink: Lenny thought they were still bidding on Cargo Jason.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:31 PM] Jason Collette: Rosario $18 to Wilderman
[Mar 24 2013, 2:31 PM] Tim McLeod: $120 left for Lenny
[Mar 24 2013, 2:32 PM] TozRotoThink: Piano man tweets concern for building offense.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:32 PM] Jason Collette: Bruce $30 to Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 2:33 PM] Jason Collette: Tulo $32 to Liss
[Mar 24 2013, 2:33 PM] Jason Collette: Headley went $21 while I turned around
[Mar 24 2013, 2:33 PM] TozRotoThink: Interesting price for Headley.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:33 PM] Jason Collette: Choo $24 to Gardner
[Mar 24 2013, 2:33 PM] TozRotoThink: I’m not sure how I feel about it.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:34 PM] Jason Collette: Cliff Lee $26 to Kreutzer
[Mar 24 2013, 2:34 PM] Jason Collette: I like Choo
[Mar 24 2013, 2:34 PM] Chris Graham: $21 for Headley seems risky to me
[Mar 24 2013, 2:35 PM] Jason Collette: Montero $17 to Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 2:35 PM] TozRotoThink: Choo price seems about right. Lee price slightly high to me. Headley..I’m concerned at that price.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:35 PM] Jason Collette: I don’t consider Headley a $20 player myself
[Mar 24 2013, 2:35 PM] TozRotoThink: I think Headley minus the injury is a $20+ dollar player, in a contract year.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:36 PM] Jason Collette: yes, healthy, he’s $20. Axford $15 to Gardner
[Mar 24 2013, 2:36 PM] TozRotoThink: But I’m concerned about breaks like that one.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:36 PM] Chris Graham: pre injury 21-24 bucks imho
[Mar 24 2013, 2:36 PM] Jason Collette: Rafael Soriano $17 to Pianowski. My preferred closer in the NL
[Mar 24 2013, 2:37 PM] donbru: Why?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:37 PM] Chris Graham: Nice…3 less than papel
[Mar 24 2013, 2:37 PM] Jason Collette: good skills & Davey will use him as much as possible
[Mar 24 2013, 2:37 PM] TozRotoThink: I bet Scott really wishes he could take back the Wainwright buy right now.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:37 PM] Jason Collette: and he’s not a douche like Papelbon. Jansen $11 to Zola
[Mar 24 2013, 2:38 PM] Chris Graham: 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 2:38 PM] Jason Collette: Cain $25 to Wilderman – consistency has value
[Mar 24 2013, 2:38 PM] Jason Collette: Molina $20 to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 2:38 PM] Tim McLeod: still two players that have the full $260
[Mar 24 2013, 2:39 PM] TozRotoThink: I’ve seen this from MG and Hertz before. This should be interesting.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:39 PM] donbru: Waiting for bargains.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:39 PM] Tim McLeod: down to one
[Mar 24 2013, 2:39 PM] Jason Collette: Chapman $21 to Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 2:39 PM] TozRotoThink: I’ve seen Gianella go into Round 5 without buying a player…no concerns.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:39 PM] Tim McLeod: the middle part of this program should be very interesting
[Mar 24 2013, 2:40 PM] Jason Collette: closers starting to run out as Putz goes $14 to Gardner
[Mar 24 2013, 2:40 PM] TozRotoThink: Good pricing by Gardner there on the two closers. Risk? Yes.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:40 PM] Jason Collette: Collette favorite Mark Melancon $2 to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 2:41 PM] Jason Collette: Gianella says screw you guys, I’m buying someone and gets Latos at $18
[Mar 24 2013, 2:41 PM] TozRotoThink: I bet you that is at least a $2 bargain for him on the sheet.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:42 PM] Slyke18: Nice buy on Melancon. He’ll be closing at some point this year.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:42 PM] Jason Collette: he had bid $16
[Mar 24 2013, 2:42 PM] Jason Collette: Harvey $12 to Pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 2:43 PM] Jason Collette: Medlen $17 to Gardner….thought he’d go a little more
[Mar 24 2013, 2:43 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed
[Mar 24 2013, 2:43 PM] TozRotoThink: Hmmm…good price there.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:43 PM] Jason Collette: I’m a big Melancon guy….dude’s ratios were obliterated by 3 awful innings last year
[Mar 24 2013, 2:43 PM] Jason Collette: Heyward $32 to Gardner
[Mar 24 2013, 2:44 PM] Jason Collette: Holliday $27 to Wilderman
[Mar 24 2013, 2:44 PM] TozRotoThink: Not a fan of that Heyward price there. Hard to extract profit out of it.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:44 PM] Tim McLeod: holliday 27, heyward, 32, harper 33
[Mar 24 2013, 2:44 PM] Jason Collette: yea, zero profit there
[Mar 24 2013, 2:44 PM] Jason Collette: BJ Upton is welcomed to the NL at $27 by Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 2:45 PM] TozRotoThink: Slightly over my comfort zone, but not bad.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:45 PM] TozRotoThink: On BJ Upton that is.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:45 PM] Jason Collette: Goldschmidt is at $26 to Tristan with back to back buys
[Mar 24 2013, 2:45 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Dumb question, but this is 5 x 5 right
[Mar 24 2013, 2:45 PM] Tim McLeod: yup
[Mar 24 2013, 2:45 PM] Slyke18: I’m BJ Upton believer this year. I like that price.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:45 PM] Jason Collette: standard 5×5, yes
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] TozRotoThink: Piano man now very concerned about lack of outfielders.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] Jason Collette: the mixed one yesterday had OBP instead of BA
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] Tim McLeod: OF isn’t that deep, concern should be there
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] Jason Collette: the other wrinkle in this league is that you can draft a 5th OF or a 10th pitcher so there’s that swing role
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Thanks..just woke up….need a lot of things explained.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] Jason Collette: $29 for Wright to Gardner
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] Tim McLeod: coffee is your friend badger
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] TozRotoThink: Well, baseball, its like this. Defense has the ball…..
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] Tim McLeod: ha
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] Jason Collette: so he’s a $34 guy if healhty?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:46 PM] TozRotoThink: That’s a scarcity play at 3B.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:47 PM] Jason Collette: au bon pain coffee is not my friend…blech
[Mar 24 2013, 2:47 PM] Jason Collette: Choooooooooooooooooooooooooooooch $9 to Pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 2:47 PM] Jason Collette: Romo $15 to Zola
[Mar 24 2013, 2:47 PM] TozRotoThink: Solid number. You hope to get him for $7-$8
[Mar 24 2013, 2:47 PM] TozRotoThink: Chooch that is.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:48 PM] Jason Collette: Jason Motte’s tender elbow deflates his value about $8 as he goes $12 to Pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 2:48 PM] TozRotoThink: About $3 more than I would want to spend there.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:48 PM] Tim McLeod: yes
[Mar 24 2013, 2:48 PM] Tim McLeod: Zola going all RP, has three now
[Mar 24 2013, 2:49 PM] TozRotoThink: I think Scott will regret that extra $3 when trying to construct that offense.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:49 PM] Jason Collette: that’s a Todd team
[Mar 24 2013, 2:49 PM] Jason Collette: $20 Frazier to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 2:49 PM] Jason Collette: Todd gets his relievers
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] Tim McLeod: 12 on Motte, over/under on Boggs at $7
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] Jason Collette: Bumgarner $22 to Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] Jason Collette: I’ll call my shot now — Boggs $10 to Walton.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] TozRotoThink: I say over. I think he goes $8
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] TozRotoThink: Never mind.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] Jason Collette: that’s my prediction
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] TozRotoThink: Oh, that is your guess.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] Tim McLeod: ah
[Mar 24 2013, 2:50 PM] TozRotoThink: Sorry – not enough coffee either.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] Jason Collette: Rizzo $22 to Carty
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] THEbadgermaniac: I am plugging values into my spreadsheet next to my LABR prices and almost every player is within $1 of the LABR price…and then there is Giancarlo. Wow.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] TozRotoThink: I say $8-$9. I think Walton is a good call though.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] Jason Collette: Badger – exactly 🙂 I’ll have more on that this week at BP
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] BlairWendell: @badger giancarlo was a typo on the LABR sheet
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] Jason Collette: I would be lying if I said it’s not an advantage for the Tout drafters
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] BlairWendell: he went for 36
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] TozRotoThink: How did I miss Bumgarner.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:51 PM] Jason Collette: Greinke $19 to Kreutzer
[Mar 24 2013, 2:52 PM] TozRotoThink: He went for $22?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:52 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Ah….thanks
[Mar 24 2013, 2:52 PM] Jason Collette: yea, Bum $22
[Mar 24 2013, 2:52 PM] TozRotoThink: Good price for Greinke, even though I’m not a fan. And assuming his elbow remains un-creaky.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:52 PM] Jason Collette: Ian Desmond $25 to Gardner
[Mar 24 2013, 2:53 PM] Slyke18: Agreed on Greinke, Toz.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:53 PM] Jason Collette: Brandon Belt $21 to Lenny
[Mar 24 2013, 2:53 PM] Tim McLeod: hmmm
[Mar 24 2013, 2:53 PM] THEbadgermaniac: I like looking for the little values. I see Ruiz @ $9 as one of those.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:54 PM] bretsayre: well, someone’s drinking the brandon belt kool-aid..
[Mar 24 2013, 2:54 PM] Jason Collette: Ike Davis, predictably, to Hertz for $25
[Mar 24 2013, 2:54 PM] Chris Graham: ouch…belt for 21?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:54 PM] TozRotoThink: I don’t like that Belt number at all. You can’t pay that for spec.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:54 PM] TozRotoThink: Pianowski agrees on Twitter.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:54 PM] THEbadgermaniac: I have topper rights on Belt and was hoping to get him in the $17-$18 range. Thanks fellas. That isn’t happening now (and maybe wasn’t before anyway).
[Mar 24 2013, 2:55 PM] Tim McLeod: when he builds or attempts to build his pitching will come back to haunt
[Mar 24 2013, 2:55 PM] Jason Collette: Minor $12 to Kreutzer
[Mar 24 2013, 2:55 PM] FastMJ: Some big time inflation on 1B position
[Mar 24 2013, 2:55 PM] Jason Collette: Belt at $21 is two steps over the insanity borderline
[Mar 24 2013, 2:55 PM] Chris Graham: greinke went for $20 in LABR right?
[Mar 24 2013, 2:55 PM] TozRotoThink: I think $17-$18 with inflation in a keeper is okay for Belt.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:55 PM] Jason Collette: vogelsong $10 to Pianoswki — undervalued pitcher
[Mar 24 2013, 2:55 PM] TozRotoThink: But here? Yikes.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] FastMJ: What’s the reaction at Davis $25; seems too high
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] TozRotoThink: Another nice pitching buy for the Piano man.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed on voggy
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] THEbadgermaniac: The problem is he isnt’ a keeper. He is a topper. I get to top the final bid by $1.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] THEbadgermaniac: I think the 1B prices have been right on the money other than Belt.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] Slyke18: Solid buy on Vogelsong.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] Jason Collette: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArmGKrK0BcyidHVBSkN5cFBwdzhWVXNPUkFVZnhCMnc#gid=5 — that’s the NL LABR prices
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] TozRotoThink: Davis is a little too high, but not in the insanity range.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:56 PM] Chris Graham: ty Jason
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] Tim McLeod: Aoki, over/under $23
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] Jason Collette: Davis @ 25 too high for me. Revere $20 to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] TozRotoThink: I can’t comment on Revere. I have man love for the guy 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] Jason Collette: under on Aoki. J-Zim $18 to Zola
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] FastMJ: Aoki under 23
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] Slyke18: I bet I am missing out on a lot of Gianella price enforcing!
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] TozRotoThink: Solid on Zimmerman.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] Jason Collette: actually, Mike has been quiet on these last few bids
[Mar 24 2013, 2:57 PM] TozRotoThink: Like that price.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:58 PM] TozRotoThink: Mike is either excited or has a sick look on his face right now.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:58 PM] Jason Collette: and then he goes 25 and then wins Castro at $27
[Mar 24 2013, 2:58 PM] FastMJ: Castro fair value there
[Mar 24 2013, 2:58 PM] donbru: Belt will earn $25+ this year easily.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:58 PM] Slyke18: LOL…you are probably right, Toz.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:58 PM] Jason Collette: 1st crickets — JJ Hoover $1 to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 2:59 PM] bretsayre: i’d rather have starlin at $27 than Desmond at $25, for sure
[Mar 24 2013, 2:59 PM] FastMJ: agree
[Mar 24 2013, 2:59 PM] THEbadgermaniac: A couple of you know I am waiting on a price for Starling…come on moderator..yell out his name and get him on the table.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:59 PM] Jason Collette: A-Gon $26 to Gianella
[Mar 24 2013, 2:59 PM] TozRotoThink: He earned $14 in 5×5 last year in 455 plate appearances Donbru…not sure where the spike comes from.
[Mar 24 2013, 2:59 PM] TozRotoThink: Castro is fair value.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:00 PM] Chris Graham: I like Gonz at $26…a couple bucks under what i had
[Mar 24 2013, 3:00 PM] THEbadgermaniac: (That would be Marte, not Starlin)
[Mar 24 2013, 3:00 PM] TozRotoThink: A-Gon decent value as well
[Mar 24 2013, 3:00 PM] Jason Collette: Rutledge $17 to Zola
[Mar 24 2013, 3:00 PM] donbru: Confindence and batting order position. Plus Bichy won’t dick him around this year.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:00 PM] Slyke18: Gonz at $26 is solid.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:00 PM] Jason Collette: Rutledge is dating the current Miss Florida so Billy Beane says he has a lot of confidence
[Mar 24 2013, 3:00 PM] FastMJ: Have any 1B gone under value…don’t think so
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] Slyke18: $17 for Rutledge?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] Tim McLeod: with those k rates
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] Slyke18: Oooof
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] TozRotoThink: I would argue Gonzalez went under value by $1-$2.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] TozRotoThink: I have a $28 bid price on him.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] bretsayre: yea, i really like the a-gone buy
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] Slyke18: $28 was price, too
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] FastMJ: I guess you have Gonz hitting 30 then
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] Slyke18: my price
[Mar 24 2013, 3:01 PM] Jason Collette: Cueto $17 to Wilderman. Ryan Zimmerman goes $27 to Kreutzer
[Mar 24 2013, 3:02 PM] TozRotoThink: I have him between 2011 and 2012.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:02 PM] TozRotoThink: He doesn’t need to hit 30 for that bid price.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:03 PM] BlairWendell: Pretty close toz… assuming 90/90 and .295
[Mar 24 2013, 3:03 PM] TozRotoThink: He earned $25 at his numbers last year.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:03 PM] Chris Graham: cueto at 17 is a quiet bargain considering what Gio and Greinke went for
[Mar 24 2013, 3:03 PM] Jason Collette: Maybin $25 to Lenny and moves Colvin to CR
[Mar 24 2013, 3:03 PM] Tim McLeod: the allOF strat continues for Lenny
[Mar 24 2013, 3:03 PM] Jason Collette: yep, Cueto’s good stuff
[Mar 24 2013, 3:03 PM] TozRotoThink: I hate that Maybin price. That to me is a huge overpay.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:04 PM] FastMJ: Steals of draft so far Vogel at 10 Harvey at 12
[Mar 24 2013, 3:04 PM] TozRotoThink: Cueto is solid at this price for sure.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:04 PM] Jason Collette: Freeman $26 to pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 3:04 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed on Maybin Tox
[Mar 24 2013, 3:04 PM] Tim McLeod: who bid Maybin up?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:04 PM] Jason Collette: freeman at the same price of Gonzo shows how sweet that $26 price was
[Mar 24 2013, 3:04 PM] Jason Collette: Wily Peralta $4 to zola
[Mar 24 2013, 3:04 PM] TozRotoThink: Potential $5 profit on Vogelsong is one of the best out there.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:05 PM] Jason Collette: want to see what Marco Estrada goes for. I’d pay $10-11 if I were in this draft. Werth $20 to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 3:05 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Maybin $15 in LABR. Most pundits have him at that price and I really like him around $18 or $19, but not at $25.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:05 PM] FastMJ: Freeman will outperform Gonzo
[Mar 24 2013, 3:05 PM] TozRotoThink: No chance Fast.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:05 PM] Chris Graham: I cant see that
[Mar 24 2013, 3:05 PM] FastMJ: 115 rbi
[Mar 24 2013, 3:06 PM] Chris Graham: and I am a homer for the braves 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 3:06 PM] Slyke18: I don’t see that, either.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:06 PM] TozRotoThink: All you need to do is look at their breakdowns and earnings. Freeman is hitting back in the lineup.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:06 PM] Jason Collette: brandon phillips $24 to Gianella
[Mar 24 2013, 3:06 PM] TozRotoThink: Who is he going to knock in?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:06 PM] TozRotoThink: Like the Brandon Phillips price as well. I think Mike is happy with his buys at this point.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:07 PM] Jason Collette: Zola goes to the hardware store and gets The Wrench (Craig) for $25
[Mar 24 2013, 3:07 PM] Slyke18: I see Mike is putting together a very nice IF.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] Chris Graham: 25 for maybin and 24 for phillips?? auctions=emotions=mistakes (even by experts)
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] THEbadgermaniac: 2B in NL is weak after first 5-6, so paying full value for a guy like Phillips, Walker, Hill, or Weeks, etc. is very reasonable.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] Chris Graham: 25 for maybin is obscene
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] Jason Collette: Hanley $17 to Gianella
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] TozRotoThink: That Phillips price is a slight bargain Chris.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] TozRotoThink: Hanley is right what I expected.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] Chris Graham: i think so
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] FastMJ: I have Maybin at 20
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] Chris Graham: was comparing him to 25 for maybin
[Mar 24 2013, 3:08 PM] TozRotoThink: Right – I realized that once I re-read it 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 3:09 PM] TozRotoThink: My bad 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 3:09 PM] Chris Graham: 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 3:09 PM] TozRotoThink: I have Maybin in a fresh league at $17-$18.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:09 PM] Jason Collette: Michael Young $17 to Pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 3:09 PM] TozRotoThink: But even at $20, that’s a huge overpay.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] Chris Graham: me and maybin got history so I am probably jaded …he hurt me bad 😉
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] bretsayre: hanley >>> m young
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] Jason Collette: aramis ramirez $24 to Zola….consistent stud
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] TozRotoThink: Joyce hurt during pre-game warmups for you AL folks.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Not a fan of the Young pick at 17.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] Jason Collette: the chair I’m sitting in >>>>>> Young
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] TozRotoThink: Nothing major apparently. Back out of trainer’s room.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] FastMJ: I dont draft infielder older than 33
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] Jason Collette: Yea, and who bought Joyce for $12 yesterday? this guy 🙁
[Mar 24 2013, 3:10 PM] bretsayre: everyone’s collective hangover >>>>> m young
[Mar 24 2013, 3:11 PM] Slyke18: Young is dicey at $17.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:11 PM] TozRotoThink: Young is a couple of bucks over. Not as bad as Freeman, Maybin and a couple of others.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:11 PM] Jason Collette: toolbox Carlos Gomes $25 to Tristan. R. Betancourt $13 to Liss
[Mar 24 2013, 3:11 PM] TozRotoThink: Pianowski on Twitter: Young is no bargain.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:11 PM] FastMJ: Young at 12 would be more reasonable
[Mar 24 2013, 3:12 PM] TozRotoThink: Really Scott?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:12 PM] Chris Graham: i agree Fast..12 is much safer
[Mar 24 2013, 3:12 PM] TozRotoThink: I think you have to pay $14 for Young to get him…query if you want him. Scott is running out of infield options, however, so got put in a bind.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:12 PM] Jason Collette: martin prado $24 to Hertz. Hertz is the loyal HQ soldier as that crew loves Prado annually
[Mar 24 2013, 3:12 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Hate it when you utter a big (Young @17) and your first reaction is…SHUT UP MOUTH…while you sit in silence just hoping someone takes you off the hook.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:13 PM] Jason Collette: and we have our first draft faux-pa as Lenny tosses out Michael Bourn
[Mar 24 2013, 3:13 PM] TozRotoThink: Oh, Lenny.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:13 PM] FastMJ: haha
[Mar 24 2013, 3:13 PM] FastMJ: someone forgot his research
[Mar 24 2013, 3:13 PM] Jason Collette: so Juan Pierre goes out there and he’s at $16 to Liss
[Mar 24 2013, 3:14 PM] TozRotoThink: Anthony DiComo reporting Wright at full speed today and looks ready to start Opening Day.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:14 PM] Jason Collette: Gianella continues to put a good IF together as he buys Hill for $22
[Mar 24 2013, 3:15 PM] Jason Collette: Duda $9 to Gianella
[Mar 24 2013, 3:15 PM] TozRotoThink: Huh. I have Hill a slightly lower, but that’s a good price at this stage.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:15 PM] FastMJ: Hill at 22 is fair
[Mar 24 2013, 3:15 PM] TozRotoThink: Solid on Duda as well.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:15 PM] TozRotoThink: MG is having a good auction.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:15 PM] Jason Collette: Pence $21 to Kreutzer
[Mar 24 2013, 3:15 PM] THEbadgermaniac: After years of scraping together spare OF vs. spare IF, I am a believer in building in your IF and than figuring out OF in the end game.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:16 PM] Jason Collette: @Bret — not sure what to think about that trade offer we just got
[Mar 24 2013, 3:16 PM] Slyke18: I feel the same, Badger.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:16 PM] FastMJ: I like Pianowski’s pitching staff
[Mar 24 2013, 3:16 PM] TozRotoThink: I think that is a strategy change for MG Badger…I think if I ask him later, he will say he had a preference in his head.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:16 PM] TozRotoThink: Of course you do…he has no value on offense.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:16 PM] TozRotoThink: He did get good buys though.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:16 PM] TozRotoThink: I think he would rather not have Wainwright.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:16 PM] Jason Collette: Hello, I am Pedro, and I go $17 to Pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 3:17 PM] Jason Collette: Cuddyer $19 on a freeze bid to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 3:17 PM] bretsayre: i don’t like it so much – not a huge fan of either guy
[Mar 24 2013, 3:17 PM] TozRotoThink: Cuddyer close to par.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:17 PM] TozRotoThink: Right now, its about buying stats.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:17 PM] Jason Collette: we said o/u on Aoki was $23….and he goes $22 to Pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 3:17 PM] FastMJ: bargains brewing
[Mar 24 2013, 3:18 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Draft has been remarkably without ebs and flows so far…no real lulls with bargain opportunities
[Mar 24 2013, 3:18 PM] TozRotoThink: Bargains are a funny thing. I think Mike and I wrote about this a number of times. Getting a bunch of players at $2 who are worth $6 does not a championship make.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:18 PM] Jason Collette: Alonso $15 to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:19 PM] Jason Collette: getting $10 players that produce 150-200% is where the drafts are won/lost
[Mar 24 2013, 3:19 PM] TozRotoThink: At this stage of the auction, a solid par number there is a nice get.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:19 PM] Jason Collette: $22 for Rollins to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:19 PM] TozRotoThink: Another solid par number for Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:20 PM] THEbadgermaniac: The boxers continue to circle…jabbing here and there but still waiting to bring out the heavy blows…
[Mar 24 2013, 3:20 PM] FastMJ: guys like Simmons and Segura are bound to go cheap at this stage
[Mar 24 2013, 3:20 PM] TozRotoThink: There’s a lot of money out there still. I think guys are sitting on people like Simmons and Segura.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:20 PM] THEbadgermaniac: They will go cheap, or incite a war…
[Mar 24 2013, 3:21 PM] Jason Collette: Ian Kennedy $14 to Lenny – a guy that has the potential to earn $18 IMO
[Mar 24 2013, 3:21 PM] THEbadgermaniac: I would tend to go with the latter
[Mar 24 2013, 3:21 PM] donbru: I agree Toz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:21 PM] TozRotoThink: I’ve seen this over the past few years in Tout. There are no bargains on guys like Segura and Simmons. Wait for Rosenthal to come out 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 3:21 PM] Jason Collette: Samardzizjaiajzijzjzza goes $14 to Liss. Prefer the Kennedy buy
[Mar 24 2013, 3:21 PM] TozRotoThink: Kennedy is a good buy at that price.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:21 PM] DougDennis41: Pay extra for the hair (Samardzija)
[Mar 24 2013, 3:21 PM] FastMJ: I had Samarja at 16
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] TozRotoThink: I have him around $12.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] Jason Collette: and Josh Beckett also goes $14 to Melnick
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] TozRotoThink: Preference bids at that point.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] Slyke18: I like both buys on Kennedy and Samardjz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] Chris Graham: I like kennedy and smarj at 14….vs say 27 on hamels..
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] DougDennis41: me too Slyke18
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] FastMJ: Beckett is a turd
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] Chris Graham: 2 for 1
[Mar 24 2013, 3:22 PM] TozRotoThink: Beckett is a turd at that price for sure.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:23 PM] Jason Collette: Beckett went to my HS so he’s not…..yea, he’s a turd
[Mar 24 2013, 3:23 PM] TozRotoThink: Disagree about Hamels v. Kennedy/Sama.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:23 PM] Jason Collette: Weeks $19 to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 3:23 PM] TozRotoThink: You bought those stats with Hamels.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:23 PM] TozRotoThink: I don’t see big enough profit from Sama/Kennedy to offset it.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:23 PM] Jason Collette: Simmons goes for $15 to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 3:23 PM] Slyke18: No bargain there.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] FastMJ: holy crap
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] Jason Collette: Doug — you missed the hot action on the JJ Hoover bid
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] Chris Graham: but is there any chance of profit for hamels? I think you get what you pay for there
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] TozRotoThink: LOL…definitely not.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] TozRotoThink: Getting what you pay for from a $27 pitcher is exactly what you want.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] DougDennis41: Hoover was what? He cost me a steak dinner.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] Chris Graham: i guess different strategies..neither wrong
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] Jason Collette: Gallardo $17 to Zola — and he could earn $5 more
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] Jason Collette: Hoover was the 1st crickets at $1 to Phil
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] TozRotoThink: Same idea for Braun for example. You want $36 in stats for that $41 price – you can take a small hit on value.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:24 PM] FastMJ: Anxious to see what DeeGord goes for with Hanley out
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] DougDennis41: ha! Except I bet Hertz didn’t bet a steak that someone would go $2.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] donbru: $3
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] Slyke18: Has Gallardo ever earned $20 in 5×5? i don’t think he has.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] TozRotoThink: He never has Jason.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Getting par on your $20+ pitchers allows you some wiggle room to play around with your gamble plays.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] Jason Collette: you’re not buying profit for anyone over $25 – you’re paying for the track record & hoping for a better year. Everth Cabrera $17 to Wilderman
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] TozRotoThink: Gallardo has only earned $18 tops in 5×5
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] Jason Collette: this is the year for Gallardo….I feel it 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 3:25 PM] TozRotoThink: LOL – I’ve heard that before 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] Jason Collette: Utley $19 to Walton as he’s tossing $19 freeze bids out there
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] DougDennis41: Walton just bought his entire MI in about 2 minutes.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] THEbadgermaniac: As a Brewer fan…..any time now Yo.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] Jason Collette: I’m so confident in Gallardo I threw him back in my inflated keeper league rather than keep him at $37
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] Chris Graham: just saying…i take smarj and ian K for 28 dollars over hamels at 27 and a dollar SP
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] Jason Collette: Segura goes $15…..so would you rather have simmons or segura at the same price?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] FastMJ: agree tho Hamels will be solid
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] TozRotoThink: as predicted, no bargains there.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] Slyke18: Simmons
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] Tim McLeod: segura
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] DougDennis41: Segura for me in roto; Simmons in real baseball.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:26 PM] TozRotoThink: Hamels and a $1 pitcher
[Mar 24 2013, 3:27 PM] TozRotoThink: Every time.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:27 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Segura
[Mar 24 2013, 3:27 PM] Jason Collette: Marco Scuscuscutaro goes $13 to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:27 PM] FastMJ: steep
[Mar 24 2013, 3:27 PM] Jason Collette: Beltran $19 to Gianella
[Mar 24 2013, 3:27 PM] Slyke18: Really depends on who that $1 pitcher is.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:28 PM] FastMJ: where the f are the bargains
[Mar 24 2013, 3:28 PM] Chris Graham: with sps i always like to spread the risk out
[Mar 24 2013, 3:28 PM] TozRotoThink: But the downside of those two pitchers is significantly higher.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:28 PM] Jason Collette: the soft spot hasnt shown up yet
[Mar 24 2013, 3:28 PM] TozRotoThink: MG and Hertz got some decent buys in one semi-soft spot.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:28 PM] TozRotoThink: But no true dip so far.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:29 PM] Jason Collette: Ramos $10 to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 3:29 PM] THEbadgermaniac: the better the drafters…the smaller and smaller those soft spots get. My league is in year 24 and if you blink, you missed em.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:29 PM] FastMJ: players taken so far 5-10% overvalued in the aggregate
[Mar 24 2013, 3:29 PM] Jason Collette: closers back around as Grilli goes $14 to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:29 PM] TozRotoThink: Par buys right now are “bargains.”
[Mar 24 2013, 3:29 PM] Jason Collette: Hertz getting Grilli was transparent once he rostered Melancon early
[Mar 24 2013, 3:29 PM] DougDennis41: There will be bargains later, but empty ones–$4 for a $9, etc.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:30 PM] Jason Collette: Pablo Sandoval goes $20 to Gianella after counting up from 16
[Mar 24 2013, 3:30 PM] TozRotoThink: Those bargains are important, of course, but, yes, you always hope for the $10 for a $16 player.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:30 PM] DougDennis41: And mostly on the pitching side (so more inherent risk).
[Mar 24 2013, 3:30 PM] Jason Collette: agreed, Doug
[Mar 24 2013, 3:30 PM] donbru: Don’t like the Sandoval price after news yesterday.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:31 PM] Jason Collette: bring Homer Bailey out already
[Mar 24 2013, 3:31 PM] TozRotoThink: Another good buy for MG. Though I think he’s going to be upset with the overall number.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:31 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Starling…Starling…Starling!!!
[Mar 24 2013, 3:31 PM] Jason Collette: Carl Crawford $17 to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 3:31 PM] FastMJ: any Mets outfielders taken yet beside Duda…oh forgot they don’t have any
[Mar 24 2013, 3:31 PM] bretsayre: that’s what i’ve been waiting to see – i kinda like crawford at that price
[Mar 24 2013, 3:31 PM] BlairWendell: I’m not sure why $4 for $9 is empty. Get your scarce stats early, and those $9 500ab bums will fill in the R/RBI
[Mar 24 2013, 3:31 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Marlon…Marlon…Marlon!!!!!
[Mar 24 2013, 3:32 PM] TozRotoThink: Crawford is solid.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:32 PM] DougDennis41: They are more on the pitching side, though, like I said. And in a deep league like this, they aren’t full time starters, they are platoon hitters.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:32 PM] TozRotoThink: The $5 bargains on the $4 players are important, but you can’t build a championship team on them generally speaking.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:32 PM] DougDennis41: and what TozRoto sez
[Mar 24 2013, 3:32 PM] FastMJ: If you get some studs to go with you can
[Mar 24 2013, 3:32 PM] Jason Collette: Freese $18 to Gianella (I think)
[Mar 24 2013, 3:33 PM] Jason Collette: $9 for Wandy to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:33 PM] THEbadgermaniac: So, presuming you get your share of the $5 bargain, how many “home runs” do you need to put yourself in the running? Two? Three?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:33 PM] TozRotoThink: I think MG likes that price.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:33 PM] Jason Collette: Tim Hudson at $11 to Wilderman
[Mar 24 2013, 3:33 PM] TozRotoThink: I don’t know about home runs. I think this goes back to the buying stats at par thing.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:34 PM] TozRotoThink: MG also has Beltran, which I missed. At $19.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:34 PM] DougDennis41: Well, if they are *all* (say 8 players of) +5 on $4, sure. But teams are not just giving that away without you assuming plenty of risk.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:34 PM] Jason Collette: Timmah Lincecum – who was a high 20’s guy last year goes for $14 to Carty who looks upset with himself
[Mar 24 2013, 3:34 PM] TozRotoThink: This is why bid prices are important.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:34 PM] FastMJ: Timmy looked crappy in his start yesterday…cut his hair off to boot
[Mar 24 2013, 3:34 PM] TozRotoThink: In my opinion.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:35 PM] DougDennis41: agree (bid prices)
[Mar 24 2013, 3:35 PM] KaaashMan: I wouldnt touch Timmeee let someone else have that problem
[Mar 24 2013, 3:35 PM] Jason Collette: Ran Howard $20 to Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 3:35 PM] Slyke18: With 8 pitching slots to fill, Mike is probably already those targeting end game pitching bargains.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:35 PM] TozRotoThink: There are a ton of pitchers out there to get. I can almost predict some of the guys Mike walks away with.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:35 PM] THEbadgermaniac: I just don’t like taking guys that I can’t form an empirical narrative on explaining why they have performed how they have performed…Lincecum fits. I just can’t wrap my head around what is going on there. I see validity in many different narratives both positive and negative…so I will avoid.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:36 PM] FastMJ: finally a bargain at 1B although a small one
[Mar 24 2013, 3:36 PM] Jason Collette: Cozart $14 to Kreutzer – a guy I like better than the $15 SS from earlier
[Mar 24 2013, 3:36 PM] BlairWendell: Arguable MJ
[Mar 24 2013, 3:36 PM] TozRotoThink: I don’t think that is a bargain for Howard based on bid price. Mark my words, though. I think Howard will earn closer to $25.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:36 PM] Slyke18: Howard scares me at that price. I saw him in a few spring games this year, and frankly, he does not look like he is 100% yet.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] TozRotoThink: He is 100%. He is drilling home runs to the opposite field again. He actually hit a triple down the third base line the other day.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] Jason Collette: Laroche $17 to Walton. One more player & then a break
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] FastMJ: He can do 35-110 with his eyes closed
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] donbru: Would you rather have Howard for $20 on his downward slide, or Belt for $21 on his way up?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] FastMJ: Howard
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] TozRotoThink: Howard for $20.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] Revco_8: Like that LaRoche price!
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] Slyke18: Neither.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] BlairWendell: Howard… lol or neither
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] Chris Graham: curious what you guys think on minor at 12? too high? par?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] TozRotoThink: Now, if you asked me if I want a starting LaRoche for $17 or Howard for $20, I would take LaRoche.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] BlairWendell: Belt’s upside IS ryan howard
[Mar 24 2013, 3:37 PM] Jason Collette: Fowler $18 to Hertz and we’re on a 10 minute break. Talk amongst yourselves….topic…best $1 players
[Mar 24 2013, 3:38 PM] Slyke18: Iwould take LaRoche as well.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:38 PM] TozRotoThink: Belt does not have that upside.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:38 PM] FastMJ: Blanks
[Mar 24 2013, 3:38 PM] BlairWendell: i mean 2013 howard
[Mar 24 2013, 3:38 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Howard types don’t age well. He is what…33 now. I don’t think old Howard is coming back.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:39 PM] TozRotoThink: Belt has hit 16 career major league home runs. And not many more minor league ones.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] TozRotoThink: If you think Ryan Howard is 30/90/.260, I can’t tell you that it is wrong. Even at 33, I think those numbers are possible. That is $24 in earnings.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] DougDennis41: Howard = polarizing for sure
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] Slyke18: Chris – I like Minor at that price. I have him at $14 on my sheet. That second half was no fluke.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] TozRotoThink: From an earnings perspective, can Belt get there? Possibly, but the HR have to go way up.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] TozRotoThink: And I don’t see the spike.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] donbru: If he hits .260 it will be a good year to own Howard.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] THEbadgermaniac: What is the earning value if he goes 24/80/.245?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] TozRotoThink: I like Minor at$ $12 as well.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:40 PM] DougDennis41: Belt’s problem is that he plays in SF
[Mar 24 2013, 3:41 PM] Chris Graham: thanks slyke..medlen got all the price but Minor had a great 2nd half run..gotta believe that pedigree will show up at some point
[Mar 24 2013, 3:41 PM] DougDennis41: Put Belt on the White Sox . . . that would be different.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:41 PM] TozRotoThink: Just under his price I think…$18, $17? I don’t have my formula in front of me.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:41 PM] Chris Graham: not price…press
[Mar 24 2013, 3:41 PM] TozRotoThink: Howard is a wild card, for certain.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:41 PM] TozRotoThink: And tough to price as a result.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:42 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Belt’s upside is a different type of player. I think you are hoping for a .280-.285 average, which on paper could offset what I expect to be Howard’s power advantage.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:42 PM] donbru: Plus Belt can run
[Mar 24 2013, 3:43 PM] THEbadgermaniac: donbru…yes…10-15 sb upside
[Mar 24 2013, 3:43 PM] FastMJ: I can see Belt in AAA also
[Mar 24 2013, 3:43 PM] donbru: ANd who is at first?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:43 PM] TozRotoThink: Belt earned $14 last year in over 450 plate appearances. Where does the extra $6 from from?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:44 PM] FastMJ: Pill
[Mar 24 2013, 3:44 PM] donbru: Age, experience, confidence
[Mar 24 2013, 3:44 PM] TozRotoThink: Home runs? Probably a small increase? Steals? He stole 12 – I don’t see that going up. He already hit .275…not sure that goes up either.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:44 PM] TozRotoThink: I don’t have a metric for that Donbru 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 3:45 PM] TozRotoThink: I agree in theory, though, that a young guy like Pill is better than a downside guy.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:45 PM] TozRotoThink: Sorry, like Belt.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:45 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Belt’s HR/FB rate was about 6% last year. THe year before, it was over 15%. Reversion gets him an addition 5-6 HR right off the top. Playing every day gets him another 100 AB, which helps all counting stats.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:45 PM] TozRotoThink: I wouldn’t pay that kind of money for Belt though.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:45 PM] TozRotoThink: We’re talking about bid prices and bid preferences.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:46 PM] donbru: I agree it is a stretch, but sometimes there are players that owners want and the price goes higher than they wanted to pay.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:46 PM] TozRotoThink: Well, sure. I try not to marry myself to players for that reason.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:46 PM] THEbadgermaniac: For the record, I think Belt and Howard were both overpriced in this draft, but I think Belt has the higher upside this year.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:46 PM] Slyke18: I am in total agreement with Toz in terms of Belt. I don’t see where that extra $6 is coming from, either.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:47 PM] TozRotoThink: I agree with both being overpriced.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:47 PM] donbru: I like Sandoval, but after the news yesterday that he couldn’t even play catch it is very scary to draft him. IMO
[Mar 24 2013, 3:47 PM] TozRotoThink: A-Gon at $26 looks like a real bargain at first base right now.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:47 PM] DougDennis41: agree re: Sandoval and agree re: A-Gon. $26–wow!
[Mar 24 2013, 3:47 PM] Slyke18: Yes. And I like LaRoche at $17 MUCH better than either.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:47 PM] Jason Collette: yea, $26 for Gonzo is like my $25 buy of Hamilton yesterday
[Mar 24 2013, 3:48 PM] TozRotoThink: LaRoche at $17 is a trade candidate, which is part of the fear. But, I like the price for him at $17. Probably $2 undervalue.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:48 PM] Slyke18: $25 for Hamilton? Nice buy, Jason. Did the room fall asleep???
[Mar 24 2013, 3:48 PM] Jason Collette: ok people, go follow @heykayadams. If you already follow her, tweet at her and tell her you heard that I saved her life last night
[Mar 24 2013, 3:48 PM] bretsayre: the BP team is covering the market on undervalued LA stars
[Mar 24 2013, 3:49 PM] Slyke18: LOL…that they are.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:49 PM] TozRotoThink: Gentlemen – thanks for having me for awhile today. Unfortunately, my real job calls, and I need to run. Stay tuned for some news on the RotoThinkTank blog…I’m hoping to keep it running, even though Mike has moved on to BP.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:49 PM] TozRotoThink: Be well everyone, and talk with you soon!
[Mar 24 2013, 3:50 PM] Slyke18: Catch you later, Toz.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:50 PM] THEbadgermaniac: What are the TW rules for players traded to the AL?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:50 PM] Chris Graham: Take care Toz..have a great Sunday
[Mar 24 2013, 3:50 PM] DougDennis41: nice posts Toz–see ya
[Mar 24 2013, 3:51 PM] Jason Collette: see ya Toz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:51 PM] Jason Collette: you keep the stats in trades out of the league
[Mar 24 2013, 3:52 PM] THEbadgermaniac: thx Jason…what I thought
[Mar 24 2013, 3:52 PM] Jason Collette: the funny thing is Lohse will be drafted and used in both leagues
[Mar 24 2013, 3:53 PM] Jason Collette: and we’re back as Gordon goes $8 to Kreutzer
[Mar 24 2013, 3:53 PM] DougDennis41: sneaky pick (Gordon) w/HanRam out.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:54 PM] Jason Collette: Niese $14 to Hertz — loves his Mets
[Mar 24 2013, 3:54 PM] Jason Collette: love Gordon’s speed but he can’t hit out of his own shadow
[Mar 24 2013, 3:54 PM] DougDennis41: if you have to love a Met, Niese is a good one to love, though.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:54 PM] FastMJ: too steep on Dee
[Mar 24 2013, 3:54 PM] Jason Collette: Gyorko went $12 to Pianowski
[Mar 24 2013, 3:55 PM] DougDennis41: Gordon is still just a baby. Too early to give up completely. 150 PAs could make him worth $8.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:55 PM] FastMJ: was thinking $3-4
[Mar 24 2013, 3:55 PM] Tim McLeod: 150ab could be 20 thefts?
[Mar 24 2013, 3:55 PM] Jason Collette: Huston Street $14 to Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 3:55 PM] Jason Collette: so Gregerson goes for….
[Mar 24 2013, 3:56 PM] DougDennis41: Gyorko–wonder if he gets to play enough 2B and 3B to qualify at both. That could add to his value.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:56 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Solid price for Street. Only format, I’d expect Tristan to shoot for Gregerson and go the extra $1
[Mar 24 2013, 3:56 PM] Jason Collette: Gyorko should unless the glove is just wretched
[Mar 24 2013, 3:56 PM] Jason Collette: Neil Walker $20 to Hertz
[Mar 24 2013, 3:56 PM] DougDennis41: I think so. 150 could. See Campana, Tony in 2012.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:57 PM] FastMJ: I see a lot of $1 players coming in end game
[Mar 24 2013, 3:57 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Me too. Lot’s of $20+ on certain rosters.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:57 PM] Jason Collette: the presence of Cruz scares me once Hanley is back……Marte goes 16 to Wilderman
[Mar 24 2013, 3:57 PM] Slyke18: Seems like Mattingly wants Gordon to start the year in AAA.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:58 PM] FastMJ: fair value for Marte
[Mar 24 2013, 3:58 PM] DougDennis41: Gordon will start in AAA. It is a long year, though. Will Cruz get to play all year? We’ll see.
[Mar 24 2013, 3:58 PM] Jason Collette: U-g-g-l-a and he ain’t got no aliba goes $15
[Mar 24 2013, 3:59 PM] Jason Collette: Danny Espinosa, bad shoulder and all, goes $18 to Lenny
[Mar 24 2013, 3:59 PM] Jason Collette: Espinosa is a guy that scares me even if that’s his non-throwing shoulder
[Mar 24 2013, 3:59 PM] DougDennis41: I do have my very own Cruz LA #47 t-shirt, though . . .
[Mar 24 2013, 3:59 PM] Jason Collette: Cishek $12 to Carty – my other favorite NL closer
[Mar 24 2013, 3:59 PM] Dave Morris Jr: I have Espinosa at $14, and even then, not sure I could pull the trigger
[Mar 24 2013, 3:59 PM] Jason Collette: in a dream world, I land Soriano & Cishek for < 30 [Mar 24 2013, 3:59 PM] DougDennis41: Uggla and Espinosa--lots of contact there. [Mar 24 2013, 4:00 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Bad shoulders sap power, which is bad news for a guy like Espinosa who really needs those 15+ HR to keep his value. [Mar 24 2013, 4:00 PM] Jason Collette: Dee Gordon goes $8....and Billy Hamilton goes $7 to Liss [Mar 24 2013, 4:00 PM] Chris Graham: $29 here for that combo here Jason [Mar 24 2013, 4:00 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Jason, would you drop $7 on Hamilton in an only? [Mar 24 2013, 4:00 PM] Jason Collette: Doug - look at Ron's batting average yesterday. Didn't complete punt it as he did last year but I believe he has both Reynolds & Dunn [Mar 24 2013, 4:00 PM] DougDennis41: Same idea. Hope for the 150 PAs. Although Hamilton is not going to get called without a major injury AND AAA success. [Mar 24 2013, 4:01 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Ron does have both. Along with a handful of .265-.275 guys. Might finish with 1, might finish with 4. But solid otherwise, like the approach [Mar 24 2013, 4:01 PM] Jason Collette: If Hamilton gets 2nd half playing time, he'll earn the $7 on speed alone. Hart $15 to Gardner [Mar 24 2013, 4:01 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Bruce, Choo, Ludwick, Heisey....not sure where Hamilton gets a shot to play. [Mar 24 2013, 4:01 PM] DougDennis41: Reynolds + Dunn would be a trade opp, I'd think. I'd hate to have both for very long, but maybe someone else is short some power and will give you something good for it. [Mar 24 2013, 4:02 PM] Jason Collette: Brandon League $14 to Carty who also had cishek. [Mar 24 2013, 4:02 PM] DougDennis41: One thing you don't have to have in these leagues is balance straight out of the draft. [Mar 24 2013, 4:02 PM] Jason Collette: yep - I bought my power early so I wouldn't have to chase it. Liss gets Taveras for $6 as he is building a kick ass farm system [Mar 24 2013, 4:02 PM] FastMJ: League horrible pick....gives way to Jansen by July [Mar 24 2013, 4:03 PM] Jason Collette: David Murphy $15 to Zola [Mar 24 2013, 4:03 PM] DougDennis41: League/Jansen. Maybe if it had anything to do with pure skills, but what if League puts up pedestrian numbers and doesn't blow too many (a la Jim Johnson in BAL)? [Mar 24 2013, 4:03 PM] FastMJ: who is David Murphy [Mar 24 2013, 4:04 PM] DougDennis41: Daniel, I'd guess. [Mar 24 2013, 4:04 PM] Jason Collette: Daniel....I have AL on the mind [Mar 24 2013, 4:04 PM] Jason Collette: in 4 auctions I've done, Fujikawa has gone more than Marmol & Jansen more than League [Mar 24 2013, 4:04 PM] Jason Collette: Barney $8 to Liss [Mar 24 2013, 4:04 PM] THEbadgermaniac: I love the bidding on the last couple "good" hitters. We aren't there yet, but getting close. [Mar 24 2013, 4:05 PM] FastMJ: Murphy getting some love...saw him as a $8 player [Mar 24 2013, 4:05 PM] Jason Collette: Homer Bailey $13 to Walton [Mar 24 2013, 4:05 PM] FastMJ: guys like Maholm and Cahill are going to be steals [Mar 24 2013, 4:06 PM] DougDennis41: Got Fujikawa for $5 in #LABR. We'll see. It is a risk. [Mar 24 2013, 4:06 PM] Jason Collette: Matt Carpenter $14 to Gardner [Mar 24 2013, 4:07 PM] DougDennis41: Love Carpenter, but apparently, so do plenty of others. Don't know about $14. Then again, 2B in NL is dire. [Mar 24 2013, 4:07 PM] Jason Collette: Cashner $3 to Gianella [Mar 24 2013, 4:07 PM] DougDennis41: Bailey at $13--I like that. [Mar 24 2013, 4:07 PM] Jason Collette: yea, I love the Bailey price. In NL formats, Bailey & Estrada are 2 targets for me [Mar 24 2013, 4:07 PM] Jason Collette: David of the Jesus $10 to Carty [Mar 24 2013, 4:08 PM] DougDennis41: Don't know the whole roster, but Gianella's strategy from what I've seen is my favorite. [Mar 24 2013, 4:08 PM] Jason Collette: Delmon Young goes $9 to Liss. That's overpriced by $19 [Mar 24 2013, 4:08 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Carpenter will have eligibility at 1b, 2b, 3b, OF. That can be worth an extra buck or two depending on your league rules. [Mar 24 2013, 4:08 PM] DougDennis41: haha (Delmon). [Mar 24 2013, 4:08 PM] DougDennis41: agree (badger) [Mar 24 2013, 4:09 PM] Jason Collette: Yea, Gianella bought a lot of pitching last year and kicked himself about it so we talked through some things and he's sticking with the plan so far - hopefully others aren't out there with more money for pitching [Mar 24 2013, 4:09 PM] Jason Collette: Jon Jay $13 to Zola [Mar 24 2013, 4:09 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Jay is a solid buy [Mar 24 2013, 4:09 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Anyone know what DeJesus went for in LABR...last I saw, his box on the spreadsheet was blank. [Mar 24 2013, 4:09 PM] DougDennis41: Well, there is a heck of a lot more pitching options late than hitting options in NL. [Mar 24 2013, 4:10 PM] Jason Collette: happened to me yesterday when I lost Cobb to Lawr because he was sitting on too much money but I did sneak Josh Johnson through at $12 [Mar 24 2013, 4:10 PM] Jason Collette: Valdespin and his sore balls $10 to Hertz [Mar 24 2013, 4:10 PM] DougDennis41: Nice. Can't go wrong with J.Johnson. Everyone is sitting on Rays w/you, of course. [Mar 24 2013, 4:10 PM] Dave Morris Jr: I LOVE Cobb and have him all over the place. AL only yesterday, hype went nuts. $18. To rich for my blood [Mar 24 2013, 4:10 PM] Jason Collette: DeJesus was $8 in LABR [Mar 24 2013, 4:11 PM] DougDennis41: That Verlander pitch hurt me and I only saw it on TV. [Mar 24 2013, 4:11 PM] Dave Morris Jr: that was MY AL only I should mention. Not Tout [Mar 24 2013, 4:11 PM] Jason Collette: Erickson threw Cobb out and I was prepared to go as high as 12 but Lawr had way too much money. Garrett Jones $14 to Pianowski [Mar 24 2013, 4:11 PM] BlairWendell: Cashner at $3 is great [Mar 24 2013, 4:11 PM] Dave Morris Jr: $12 is a solid number for Cobb. Okay, back to NL. Sorry for the tangent ha [Mar 24 2013, 4:11 PM] Jason Collette: I talked up Cobb & Ramirez for months. Cobb has helium yet Ramirez went $2 below his LABR price [Mar 24 2013, 4:12 PM] Jason Collette: Liss gets McCann for $11 [Mar 24 2013, 4:12 PM] Jason Collette: d'Arnaud $5 to Kreutzer [Mar 24 2013, 4:12 PM] FastMJ: McCann with the balky arm [Mar 24 2013, 4:12 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Live in Seattle and watched Ramirez throw a lot. Solid arm and his control is insane. [Mar 24 2013, 4:13 PM] DougDennis41: I got Ramirez for $1 in XFL in November. Could not get Cobb then and his price has only gone up since. [Mar 24 2013, 4:13 PM] Jason Collette: Dan Haren $13 to Gardner [Mar 24 2013, 4:14 PM] Jason Collette: D. Brown $15 to Hertz [Mar 24 2013, 4:14 PM] Jason Collette: just looked at my NL keepers & Estrada was thrown back out. he was $10 -- now I'll have to spend $15 to get him but I did't want to trade my $6 Cozart for him [Mar 24 2013, 4:14 PM] Jason Collette: Estrada just went $11 here in the room to Kreutzer [Mar 24 2013, 4:15 PM] DougDennis41: How many pitchers does Gianella have? [Mar 24 2013, 4:15 PM] Jason Collette: Pennington $8 to Carty [Mar 24 2013, 4:16 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Half price Cozart is worth it [Mar 24 2013, 4:16 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Latos at $18 [Mar 24 2013, 4:16 PM] Jason Collette: Gianella has 2 - Latos $18 and Cashner 3 [Mar 24 2013, 4:16 PM] Jason Collette: Adam Eaton, bad UCL and all, goes $8 to Gardner [Mar 24 2013, 4:16 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Is that what Gardner had last year? [Mar 24 2013, 4:17 PM] Jason Collette: dunno [Mar 24 2013, 4:17 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Anyone recall who has Eaton @ $18 in LABR? [Mar 24 2013, 4:17 PM] DougDennis41: So far so good--just has to stay patient. [Mar 24 2013, 4:17 PM] Jason Collette: Ludwick $12 to Gianella [Mar 24 2013, 4:18 PM] DougDennis41: Eaton--don't remember who got him, but there was a buzz in the room at the time over the price. [Mar 24 2013, 4:18 PM] bretsayre: after talking to gardner about eaton last night, not surprised he took the dive today - could still be a nice buy at $8 [Mar 24 2013, 4:18 PM] Chris Graham: ambrosia/childs --badger [Mar 24 2013, 4:18 PM] Jason Collette: McCarthy $9 to Zola [Mar 24 2013, 4:18 PM] Chris Graham: ambrosius [Mar 24 2013, 4:18 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Agreed on Eaton. You obviously want nothing to do with 18, but at 8, pretty solid buy. [Mar 24 2013, 4:18 PM] DougDennis41: Eaton is an OBP machine. Still very playable. Esp. compared to Gordon, Hamilton, etc. [Mar 24 2013, 4:19 PM] Jason Collette: Pagan $19 to Kreutzer [Mar 24 2013, 4:20 PM] Chris Graham: i agree doug...i like eaton at 8 vs those maybe guys for a dollar or two less [Mar 24 2013, 4:20 PM] Jason Collette: The injury took the helium out of Eaton -- his ADP/price was nuts for me given the short track record much like Desmond Jennings last year. Schumacher $2 to Pianowski [Mar 24 2013, 4:20 PM] Jason Collette: Span $14 to Kreutzer [Mar 24 2013, 4:20 PM] Tim McLeod: like that [Mar 24 2013, 4:21 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Pagan is a pretty good buy with money dwindling and very few top quality hitters out there. He is right on par, but that counts for something. [Mar 24 2013, 4:21 PM] Jason Collette: Ethier goes $17 to Gianella [Mar 24 2013, 4:22 PM] Jason Collette: because spring stats mean everything....Julio Teheran goes $8 to Hertz [Mar 24 2013, 4:22 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Ethier/Ludwick two nice buys for Mike given his INF. Neither should break out, but safe places to accumulate stats. [Mar 24 2013, 4:23 PM] DougDennis41: $8 is too much for crazy up/down minor league track record, but I kinda like Teheran for 2013. [Mar 24 2013, 4:23 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed Doug [Mar 24 2013, 4:23 PM] Chris Graham: he went for $2 in LABR...i like that price a lot better 😉 [Mar 24 2013, 4:23 PM] Jason Collette: Lynn $10 to Kreutzer [Mar 24 2013, 4:23 PM] DougDennis41: of course. Spring = 400% increase. [Mar 24 2013, 4:24 PM] Chris Graham: yep [Mar 24 2013, 4:24 PM] Jason Collette: teheran is a post-hype sleeper guy. Talent is very real [Mar 24 2013, 4:24 PM] Jason Collette: Ruggiano for $13 as Pianowski takes 2 of my advil to get past the pain of it [Mar 24 2013, 4:24 PM] Tim McLeod: you have advil left Jason? [Mar 24 2013, 4:24 PM] Jason Collette: 4 more [Mar 24 2013, 4:24 PM] Jason Collette: Puig goes $1 to Lenny [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] Dave Morris Jr: wow $13 for Ruggiano.... [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] DougDennis41: Now Ruggiano is a guy I don't like. At all. I remember him as a Tampa scrub. [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] Tim McLeod: been around the block,,,,twice [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] Jason Collette: Ruggiano is a scrub [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] Dave Morris Jr: put away wet [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] Jason Collette: he can't hit breaking stuff & once the NL caught onto that, his numbers fell off like Lindsay Lohan's Q rating [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] Chris Graham: haha..i hope his mom isnt listening in [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Ruggiano went for $19 in LABR. [Mar 24 2013, 4:25 PM] Jason Collette: Kubel $14 to Tristan [Mar 24 2013, 4:26 PM] Jason Collette: I am half serious when I say I think Ruggiano will be DFA'd by the break [Mar 24 2013, 4:26 PM] Tim McLeod: on that team, odds good [Mar 24 2013, 4:26 PM] Jason Collette: think about how bad the Rays have needed a RH bat in the OF for years now - and they DFA'd the guy. Houston, void of any talent, did the same shortly thereafter [Mar 24 2013, 4:26 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Ruggiano is a guy that is on my nominate early list. [Mar 24 2013, 4:26 PM] Jason Collette: Alfonso Soriano $13 to Gianella [Mar 24 2013, 4:26 PM] Chris Graham: i am not going there at my NL draft next saturday.. [Mar 24 2013, 4:26 PM] Slyke18: Great point, Jason. [Mar 24 2013, 4:27 PM] Chris Graham: no ruggy [Mar 24 2013, 4:27 PM] THEbadgermaniac: Another great buy for Gianella. [Mar 24 2013, 4:27 PM] Slyke18: So Mike is going to dollar out his catchers and find those pitching gems! [Mar 24 2013, 4:27 PM] DougDennis41: ok--this just gets better for Gianella. I think he's going to pull-n-pray for pitchers, but I love that strategy! [Mar 24 2013, 4:27 PM] Jason Collette: Gianella has spent $224 on his offense minus his 2 catchers & $21 on 2 pitchers. No wonder Doug loves the style 🙂 [Mar 24 2013, 4:28 PM] Jason Collette: Quentin $16 to Zola [Mar 24 2013, 4:28 PM] Jason Collette: Reminds me of your 2012 LABR team [Mar 24 2013, 4:28 PM] Jason Collette: Matt Adams $5 to Kreutzer [Mar 24 2013, 4:28 PM] DougDennis41: And 2011. And 2013. . . . [Mar 24 2013, 4:29 PM] Jason Collette: Parra $16 to Carty. Is this scoresheet? [Mar 24 2013, 4:29 PM] DougDennis41: Sometimes it works (2011 1st), sometimes not (2012 10th or 11th--I try to forget). [Mar 24 2013, 4:29 PM] Jason Collette: descalso $3 to Kreutzer [Mar 24 2013, 4:30 PM] Jason Collette: Pacheco $4 to Lenny [Mar 24 2013, 4:31 PM] Jason Collette: Cody Ross $12 to Zola [Mar 24 2013, 4:31 PM] DougDennis41: Who is left holding too much money right now? [Mar 24 2013, 4:31 PM] Tim McLeod: Carty at 54 [Mar 24 2013, 4:32 PM] DougDennis41: that explains Parra at $16. [Mar 24 2013, 4:32 PM] Jason Collette: $6 Mayberry to Wilderman [Mar 24 2013, 4:32 PM] Tim McLeod: Zola at 51 [Mar 24 2013, 4:32 PM] Tim McLeod: Liss at 45 [Mar 24 2013, 4:32 PM] Jason Collette: Walton at 44 [Mar 24 2013, 4:32 PM] bretsayre: yea, carty came out guns a-blazin, but looks like he might end up hanging onto too much cash here [Mar 24 2013, 4:33 PM] Jason Collette: Cahill just went 11 [Mar 24 2013, 4:33 PM] Tim McLeod: wilderman at 50 [Mar 24 2013, 4:33 PM] Tim McLeod: still some cash floating around [Mar 24 2013, 4:33 PM] DougDennis41: Guys w/$50+ need to jump in now and buy. [Mar 24 2013, 4:33 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Rather that than $29 with 12 spots like Tristan [Mar 24 2013, 4:34 PM] Tim McLeod: agreed Doug [Mar 24 2013, 4:34 PM] Jason Collette: Marlon Byrd $2 to Pianowski [Mar 24 2013, 4:34 PM] Dave Morris Jr: I think Zola has positioned himself great with current roster and $$ to positions left [Mar 24 2013, 4:35 PM] bretsayre: nah, less money is better at this point - overspending on endgame guys is not a good strategy [Mar 24 2013, 4:35 PM] Jason Collette: Mitchell Boggs $5 to Pianowski [Mar 24 2013, 4:35 PM] FastMJ: but you need a few bucks extra in endgame to trump the $1 bids [Mar 24 2013, 4:35 PM] DougDennis41: interesting (Boggs). Has Rosenthal gone yet? [Mar 24 2013, 4:35 PM] Jason Collette: Zola is sitting to my left so of course he's positioned himself well [Mar 24 2013, 4:36 PM] Jason Collette: rosenthal & Kelly haven't gone. Marmol to Liss for $8 [Mar 24 2013, 4:36 PM] Tim McLeod: Motte at 12 [Mar 24 2013, 4:36 PM] THEbadgermaniac: I Zola's positional breakdown...no huge needs...can really pick and choose where he spends his money. [Mar 24 2013, 4:36 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Of course you don't want to overspend on end game players, but we're not completely there yet. [Mar 24 2013, 4:36 PM] bretsayre: exactly - i wouldn't want to have $10 for 8 spots, but having $30 for 12 - that's not a bad place to be [Mar 24 2013, 4:36 PM] Jason Collette: Marcum $5 to Carty [Mar 24 2013, 4:36 PM] THEbadgermaniac: That should be "like" his positional breakdown [Mar 24 2013, 4:36 PM] Jordan5L: pretty good deal for Marcum [Mar 24 2013, 4:37 PM] Dave Morris Jr: For $5, sign me up twice [Mar 24 2013, 4:37 PM] Jason Collette: Hairston $4 to Kreutzer [Mar 24 2013, 4:38 PM] Jason Collette: Gianella buys Garza for $7 [Mar 24 2013, 4:38 PM] Jason Collette: fist move of his I haven't liked. I think Garza is suffering from a bad case of death by slider [Mar 24 2013, 4:38 PM] THEbadgermaniac: which hairston? [Mar 24 2013, 4:38 PM] Jason Collette: Scott [Mar 24 2013, 4:38 PM] Jordan5L: the good one [Mar 24 2013, 4:38 PM] Jason Collette: Ruben Tejada $7 to Carty [Mar 24 2013, 4:38 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Think Garza will miss a big chunk of the season? [Mar 24 2013, 4:39 PM] Jason Collette: I would have been out on $5 with Garza [Mar 24 2013, 4:39 PM] bretsayre: man, now mike's down to dollar players with his last 8 guys.. [Mar 24 2013, 4:39 PM] DougDennis41: I don't love $30 for 12 in theory. But agree that I'd have to see the rest of the buys and also what is available. [Mar 24 2013, 4:39 PM] Jason Collette: B. Crawford $5 to pianowski [Mar 24 2013, 4:40 PM] Jason Collette: The $7 price for dinged up pitchers continues as Jaime Garcia goes $7 [Mar 24 2013, 4:40 PM] DougDennis41: Like Garcia > Garza. Just sayin.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:40 PM] Dave Morris Jr: They’re like those expensive lottery tickets. Always think you’ll win big
[Mar 24 2013, 4:40 PM] Jason Collette: Yelich $1 to Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 4:40 PM] bretsayre: yea, i’d rather garcia than garza as well
[Mar 24 2013, 4:41 PM] Chris Graham: me3
[Mar 24 2013, 4:41 PM] DougDennis41: I might rather have Yelich than Ruggiano.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:41 PM] Dave Morris Jr: For the price difference, yeah
[Mar 24 2013, 4:41 PM] Jason Collette: AJ burnett $9 to Melnick
[Mar 24 2013, 4:41 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Love that
[Mar 24 2013, 4:41 PM] Jason Collette: Doug, your mom is better than Ruggiano. She still has the pop, right?
[Mar 24 2013, 4:41 PM] Jordan5L: which AJ will show up
[Mar 24 2013, 4:41 PM] Jason Collette: Alex Gonzalez $1 to Zola
[Mar 24 2013, 4:42 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Hopefully the AJ of 2012 minus his start against the Cards
[Mar 24 2013, 4:42 PM] DougDennis41: I love my mom, so maybe I’m biased, but yeah, she always been able to hit. Can only play corners nowadays, though.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:42 PM] Jason Collette: Edwin Jackson $7 to Gardner. Like that more than Garza
[Mar 24 2013, 4:43 PM] DougDennis41: yes (Jackson)
[Mar 24 2013, 4:43 PM] Jason Collette: Mike Fiers still out there – Fujikawa goes $8 to Kreutzer as Liss loses out on his handcuff
[Mar 24 2013, 4:43 PM] Jordan5L: Phil Hertz have Twitter?
[Mar 24 2013, 4:43 PM] bretsayre: definitely, on e-jax – underrated arm
[Mar 24 2013, 4:44 PM] DougDennis41: I don’t think Hertz would tweet and pick at the same time. I wouldn’t. (old people)
[Mar 24 2013, 4:44 PM] Chris Graham: agree…edwin is oft underpriced it seems ..i think he burned some guys early n career..
[Mar 24 2013, 4:44 PM] Jason Collette: Phil isn’t on Twitter that I know of
[Mar 24 2013, 4:44 PM] Jason Collette: Gee $9 to Zola
[Mar 24 2013, 4:44 PM] Jordan5L: ha, thanks
[Mar 24 2013, 4:45 PM] Jason Collette: Sean Marshall $3 to Tristan as Chapman insurance?
[Mar 24 2013, 4:45 PM] Jason Collette: Brantly $6 to Kreutzer
[Mar 24 2013, 4:46 PM] Dave Morris Jr: LOVE that buy (Marshall)
[Mar 24 2013, 4:46 PM] Jason Collette: Martin $9 to Zola
[Mar 24 2013, 4:46 PM] Jordan5L: Like Brantly, hitting 4th in that god awful lineup
[Mar 24 2013, 4:47 PM] Jason Collette: Detwiler $6 to Walton
[Mar 24 2013, 4:47 PM] Jason Collette: Billingsley $3 to Tristan
[Mar 24 2013, 4:47 PM] DougDennis41: Marshall is purely a ERA/WHIP buffer. Broxton is second in line, and if the Reds had to go to a third option, Hoover might be it by the time they need it. Not that Marshall isn’t fantastic.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:48 PM] Jason Collette: LoMO $10 to Liss
[Mar 24 2013, 4:48 PM] Dave Morris Jr: (On Marshall) completely agree, but the ERA/WHIP buffer is worth at least $3 in this format I think. Decent K’s as well
[Mar 24 2013, 4:48 PM] DougDennis41: I love LoMo, but when if ever will his knee permit him to play?
[Mar 24 2013, 4:48 PM] Jason Collette: Buck @ $2 . be right back
[Mar 24 2013, 4:48 PM] DougDennis41: Yep–agree w/you Dave Morris
[Mar 24 2013, 4:49 PM] Mike Gianella: Might as well join since I’m going to be sitting here awhile.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:49 PM] Revco_8: I can’t believe how many times I’ve heard the name J.J. Hoover in the last week. lol
[Mar 24 2013, 4:49 PM] Tim McLeod: Hey Mike
[Mar 24 2013, 4:49 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Time for the $1 run huh Mike?
[Mar 24 2013, 4:49 PM] DougDennis41: Hey–Mike G.–love your strategy!
[Mar 24 2013, 4:50 PM] Mike Gianella: thanks 🙂
[Mar 24 2013, 4:50 PM] Mike Gianella: kind of backed into it though.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:50 PM] DougDennis41: yeah–I do that on purpose!
[Mar 24 2013, 4:50 PM] Dave Morris Jr: Agree, such a solid offensive base across all the categories for you Mike.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:50 PM] DougDennis41: Don’t have to be balanced on Day 1. Just have to make deals throughout the year.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:51 PM] Mike Gianella: true.
[Mar 24 2013, 4:52 PM] bretsayre: mike!
[Mar 24 2013, 4:52 PM] Jordan5L: Wilderman have Twitter?
[Mar 24 2013, 4:52 PM] Mike Gianella: not today.
Mar 24 2013, 12:53 PM
Mike Gianella: ryan hanigan for $3 to carty.

Mar 24 2013, 12:55 PM
Mike Gianella: jason stepped out. trying to fill in the gaps. $3 frank francisco scott w

Mar 24 2013, 12:55 PM
Chris Graham: what you think mesoraco will earn in 2013?

Mar 24 2013, 12:55 PM
Mike Gianella: bidding war on hechevarria. $6 to scott p

Mar 24 2013, 12:56 PM
Jason Collette: I’m back….someone has defiled the men’s room with last night’s fun. It was NOT me before rumors get started but my goodness, anyone have the number for HAZMAT?

Mar 24 2013, 12:56 PM
Jason Collette: Fiers $7 to Carty — like that buy

Mar 24 2013, 12:57 PM
DougDennis41: Mesoraco has had a good camp, but PT is the issue. Hanigan is good defensively and Reds pitchers love him, so it is hard for Reds to use Mesoraco as much as they’d like. Mesoraco is the future, though.

Mar 24 2013, 12:57 PM
Chris Graham: thanks doug..u thinking 30% of the at bats this year

Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM
Chris Graham: ?

Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM
DougDennis41: sounds about right.

Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM
Chris Graham: ty

Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM
Jason Collette: Liriano $6 to walton

Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM
THEbadgermaniac: J. Francisco went for 9

Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM
DougDennis41: Mesoraco will do as much with 30% as Hanigan will with 70%.

Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM
Jason Collette: Rosenthal $2 to Tristan – sweet buy

Mar 24 2013, 12:58 PM
DougDennis41: But catchers PT is always up/down w/defense

Mar 24 2013, 12:59 PM
Jason Collette: I have Mesoraco as a $6 1st yr contract locally

Mar 24 2013, 12:59 PM
DougDennis41: There we go. Rosenthal for $2.

Mar 24 2013, 12:59 PM
Jason Collette: Beachy is peachy at $5 to Carty

Mar 24 2013, 12:59 PM
THEbadgermaniac: Venable 14

Mar 24 2013, 12:59 PM
Chris Graham: i like Rosen for 2 a lot

Mar 24 2013, 12:59 PM
DougDennis41: Mesoraco is solid longer term than just 2013.

Mar 24 2013, 12:59 PM
Jason Collette: Kratz $2 to Wilderman

Mar 24 2013, 12:59 PM
THEbadgermaniac: AJ Ellis 5

Mar 24 2013, 1:00 PM
Jason Collette: Wellington Castillo $4 to Carty as a 3rd catcher/UTL

Mar 24 2013, 1:00 PM
Slyke18: Hey Mike. Really like your auction so far. Good luck in dollar derby!!!

Mar 24 2013, 1:00 PM
DougDennis41: Carty can’t find something better for $4?

Mar 24 2013, 1:01 PM
DougDennis41: (surprised)

Mar 24 2013, 1:01 PM
Jason Collette: Helton $5 to Liss

Mar 24 2013, 1:01 PM
Jason Collette: Wellington is an odd UTL buy. I like the pop, but still

Mar 24 2013, 1:01 PM
Jason Collette: Tabata for 2 dolares

Mar 24 2013, 1:02 PM
DougDennis41: I don’t have a good read on PIT outfield PT at all. Maybe by April 15 or so . . .

Mar 24 2013, 1:03 PM
Jason Collette: Snider $8 to wilderman

Mar 24 2013, 1:03 PM
THEbadgermaniac: Tabata a nice back up play for Wilderman (who has Marte)

Mar 24 2013, 1:03 PM
Jason Collette: so Wilderman buying up all of the Pirates

Mar 24 2013, 1:03 PM
DougDennis41: That’s one way to get the PT.

Mar 24 2013, 1:03 PM
Jason Collette: so alex presley in reserves

Mar 24 2013, 1:03 PM
THEbadgermaniac: Might as well go all in

Mar 24 2013, 1:04 PM
Jason Collette: Grandal $2 to Tristan…sweet

Mar 24 2013, 1:04 PM
bretsayre: that’s a great value for grandal

Mar 24 2013, 1:04 PM
DougDennis41: good grief!

Mar 24 2013, 1:04 PM
Slyke18: Solid

Mar 24 2013, 1:04 PM
Jason Collette: Mesoraco $4 to Liss

Mar 24 2013, 1:04 PM
Slyke18: I like Mesoraco at that price as well.

Mar 24 2013, 1:04 PM
Jason Collette: with all of the catcher slots open, I don’t know why Grandal only went $2

Mar 24 2013, 1:05 PM
DougDennis41: like Mesoraco at $4, but fell out of my chair at home for Grandal at $2.

Mar 24 2013, 1:05 PM
Jason Collette: Torres $1 to Pianowski

Mar 24 2013, 1:05 PM
Jason Collette: Blanco $4 to Zola

Mar 24 2013, 1:05 PM
Jason Collette: that $4 Castillo hurts when Grandal goes for half the price

Mar 24 2013, 1:05 PM
DougDennis41: exactly.

Mar 24 2013, 1:06 PM
DougDennis41: And heck, I bet there are other UT $4’s that come who beat Castillo.

Mar 24 2013, 1:06 PM
Jason Collette: Gregerson for $2 to Tristan to back up his Street buy. Hundley $2 to Hertz

Mar 24 2013, 1:06 PM
Jason Collette: Arenado $3 to Carty

Mar 24 2013, 1:07 PM
Jason Collette: Chris Nelson $3 to Wilderman

Mar 24 2013, 1:08 PM
Jason Collette: guys like Logan Forsythe are still out there – someone who should qualify a few places

Mar 24 2013, 1:08 PM
Jason Collette: Capuano $1 to Kreutzer

Mar 24 2013, 1:08 PM
Jason Collette: Chris Johnson $8 to Zola

Mar 24 2013, 1:08 PM
DougDennis41: I have no clue what to do about Capuano. At $1, though, I mean, why not?

Mar 24 2013, 1:08 PM
bretsayre: zola’s just gonna buy up whoever he wants at this point

Mar 24 2013, 1:09 PM
Jason Collette: Henderson Alvarez $1 to Gardner

Mar 24 2013, 1:09 PM
DougDennis41: I guess Zola didn’t want him.

Mar 24 2013, 1:09 PM
Jason Collette: Chris Heisey is $5 to Zola

Mar 24 2013, 1:09 PM
bretsayre: i’m still curious to see who’s going to grab two of my favorite endgame pitchers: ted lilly and pat corbin..

Mar 24 2013, 1:10 PM
Jason Collette: Mike Adams goes for $2 to Hertz….or $1 less than he went early in mixed

Mar 24 2013, 1:10 PM
DougDennis41: like the way you think bretsayre

Mar 24 2013, 1:10 PM
Jason Collette: Corbin just came up

Mar 24 2013, 1:10 PM
Jason Collette: $1

Mar 24 2013, 1:11 PM
Jason Collette: Leake also goes $1

Mar 24 2013, 1:11 PM
bretsayre: thanks doug – love corbin for $1

Mar 24 2013, 1:11 PM
DougDennis41: I got Corbin in LABR (very happy)

Mar 24 2013, 1:11 PM
Jason Collette: Kendrick $1 too…$1 day run

Mar 24 2013, 1:11 PM
DougDennis41: Leake up to $1 from $0 with Chapman in the pen (I guess).

Mar 24 2013, 1:11 PM
Jason Collette: Lilly $1

Mar 24 2013, 1:12 PM
DougDennis41: Here is all that late $1 pitching we talked about 90 minutes ago.

Mar 24 2013, 1:12 PM
Jason Collette: Cole goes $2 to Hertz as Gianella is denied again

Mar 24 2013, 1:12 PM
Jason Collette: Jacob Turner $2

Mar 24 2013, 1:13 PM
bretsayre: love that lilly dollar grab

Mar 24 2013, 1:13 PM
Jason Collette: Lombardozzi $6…and forsythe still sits out there

Mar 24 2013, 1:13 PM
Jordan5L: Turner going to keep his job?

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
Jason Collette: Solano $2

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
Jason Collette: Turner should

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
bretsayre: i think jason’s going to jump in and start bidding on forsythe himself if someone doesn’t throw him out soon..

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
THEbadgermaniac: Lombardozzi could be a nice play if Espinosa isn’t healthy.

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
Jordan5L: Badger alum here as well

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
DougDennis41: I think Turner starts with the job, but written in light pencil.

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
THEbadgermaniac: Hey Jordan…Class of 91

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
Jason Collette: i have Lombo for $1 in my local league on speed speculation. On Forsythe, projected to hit high in lineup

Mar 24 2013, 1:14 PM
Jordan5L: class of ’00

Mar 24 2013, 1:15 PM
Slyke18: Agreed, Badger. I like Lombardozzi quite a bit this year.

Mar 24 2013, 1:15 PM
DougDennis41: I had the Badgers in my bracket going to the Final 4. (not happy)

Mar 24 2013, 1:15 PM
THEbadgermaniac: Let’s not talk about this….

Mar 24 2013, 1:15 PM
Jordan5L: par for the course with Bo

Jason Collette: Luis Cruz $4…Cowgill $4

Mar 24 2013, 1:16 PM
DougDennis41: I have a soft spot for Cowgill. But $4 . . dunno about that.

Mar 24 2013, 1:16 PM
Slyke18: I have a fever, and the only prescription is more Cowgill.

Mar 24 2013, 1:16 PM
Jordan5L: would you prefer Cowgill or SHairston?

Mar 24 2013, 1:16 PM
Jason Collette: a Nate Schierholtz bidding war – he goes $13 to Zola vs Carty

Mar 24 2013, 1:17 PM
DougDennis41: Hairston for me, but I’d root for Cowgill more anyway.

Mar 24 2013, 1:17 PM
DougDennis41: Schierholtz–that’s what holding your money does to you.

Mar 24 2013, 1:17 PM
Jason Collette: Kozma $3

Mar 24 2013, 1:17 PM
Jordan5L: other than PT, what is Kozma good for?

Mar 24 2013, 1:17 PM
bretsayre: yea, double ugh on schierholtz

Mar 24 2013, 1:18 PM
Jason Collette: Lohse $2

Mar 24 2013, 1:18 PM
DougDennis41: I’d say lots of PT w/Kozma is not good for BA.

Mar 24 2013, 1:18 PM
sixerfan2012: did Shelby Miller go yet?

Mar 24 2013, 1:18 PM
Slyke18: Collins like Cowgill in CF. He will get his AB’s.

Jason Collette: Suzuki $2

Mar 24 2013, 1:19 PM
THEbadgermaniac: Schierholz went for $12 in LABR. Did the same thing happen?

Mar 24 2013, 1:19 PM
DougDennis41: I like Cowgill because of all the intangibles that we always make fun of. Makes him a fun player to watch. But Hairston will hit more bombs.

Mar 24 2013, 1:19 PM
Jason Collette: Ramon Hernandez $1 to Gianella

Mar 24 2013, 1:19 PM
DougDennis41: I don’t remember, but for $12, it must have.

Mar 24 2013, 1:19 PM

Mar 24 2013, 1:25 PM
THEbadgermaniac: How was Gattis’ eligibility determined?

Mar 24 2013, 1:25 PM
Jordan5L: i like Sanchez

Mar 24 2013, 1:25 PM
Jordan5L: best of the backup C’s

Mar 24 2013, 1:25 PM
DougDennis41: I won’t buy if it is another Zola/Carty bidding war to $13, tho.

Mar 24 2013, 1:25 PM
Jason Collette: Clint Barmes goes for $1 before Forsythe to a team that has a MI opening. That thumping sound you hear on the radio is my head hitting the desk

Mar 24 2013, 1:28 PM

Jason Collette: tyler Skaggs $1, Dan Hudson $1

Mar 24 2013, 1:33 PM
THEbadgermaniac: I don’t think any of them are “bad”, but do think Melnick has some small overpays, and in a good league like this, that stands out.

Mar 24 2013, 1:34 PM
FastMJ: Hertz looks shaky

Mar 24 2013, 1:34 PM
Jason Collette: now it’s a draft

Mar 24 2013, 1:34 PM

Mar 24 2013, 1:34 PM
Jason Collette: Jeff Karstens

Mar 24 2013, 1:36 PM
DougDennis41: I don’t have the rosters so can’t say overall. I look forward to seeing what pitching Mike G. has at the end.
