Fantasy baseball 2017

Yes, I'm looking right now. SB are hard to come by, but the only available guys basically suck in all other categories. Think I'll just look for a SP especially since it's a daily league.

 

I'm trying to deal Haniger now while his stock is high. He's not this good, I don't think, and his .389 BABIP supports that there's likely a regression coming.

 

He's not quite this good, but he looks like a nice all-around player. He has a little power and speed and he has shown the patience to draw walks. The average will drop, but I think he can still be very useful.

 

I picked him up while Donaldson is on the DL. I'm probably going to keep him and drop Donaldson. We get only 2 AL hitters in my NL-only league.

Stick with Haniger.

 

I'm not going to deal him for a bag of balls, but I'm working on a deal that might land me Kris Bryant and Severino. Haniger would be part of it and I'm trying to land on a second player who is acceptable to both of us. It may fall apart, but I'd love to land Bryant.

 

No one in his/her right mind is getting rid of Bryant even if Haniger has shown some great promise.

Anyone who trades Bryant for any reason is dumb.

 

I assume there are dollar values or draft rounds for keeper status involved, but of course, you deal a guy like Haniger if you can get somebody like Bryant. That would have to be a hell of a second player.

 

He has asked for Machado, I countered with Carlos Santana. He said he's considering it. In this league, you keep one infielder, one outfielder and one pitcher. No other restrictions. If he sticks on Machado, we won't do the deal because I have no replacement for him at SS. If accepts Santana, I'd be pretty well set up with keeping Machado and Bryant to go with a pitcher.

 

If you can get Bryant and Severino for Santana and Haniger, that is a steal for you.

 

Just made the following trade in a very deep league (the highest % owned FA hitter is Austin Romine). Looking to buy very, very low, hope it works.

Gave up
M. Reynolds Col - 1B
B. Gardner NYY - OF
M. Harvey NYM - P
W. Miley Bal - P

Got
G. Bird NYY - 1B
D. Dahl Col - OF DL
D. Price Bos - P DL

 

I love it. The only guy you gave up that I like is Harvey. Reynolds and Gardner are low-ceiling players and I don't expect Miley to continue this. As I noted upthread, Bird is due to break out, and Dahl returns soon. Price can be an ace if he comes back healthy. I think you swindled the other guy.

I think it is more likely that you would have ended up dropping three of those four players than regretting trading them.

 

Agreed. The only real Guy gave up is Harvey, and he comes with risk.

Am I the last person who thought reality was going to set in on Thames only to realize that it set in pretty much from the start? Two more home runs tonight to give him 10 on the season.
