Taking your questions!

[gfhyde]

Would you do Granderson for Bradley?

[dmvincent]

Honestly, yes.

Grandy is solid but I don't think you're going to see big time power numbers again.

Bradley is a young phenom with crazy potential and some have called him the top pitching prospect in the minors right now.

[gfhyde]

Cool. I'll probably give that a go. Grandy isn't a huge loss anyway.

I was lost without you DM, I'm needing your expertise in the question above and this one: Would you trade Jose Fernandez for Choo with the following scoring cats:
Batting
Batting Average (AVG) Home Runs (HR)
Runs Scored (R) Runs Batted In (RBI)
Stolen Bases (SB) On Base Pct (OBP)
Total Bases (TB) Strikeouts (K)
Pitching
Earned Run Average (ERA)* Strikeouts (K)
Walks plus Hits Per Innings Pitched (WHIP)* Wins (W)
Saves (SV) Quality Starts (QS)
Holds (HD) Strikeouts per 9 Innings (K/9)
My keepers at the moment are: Davis, Profar, Hosmer, Jackson, Myers, Jennings, Fernandez, Martin Perez, Wacha and Greg Holland.


Thanks and welcome back again

i'm not Mac but maybe you and he would forgive me for horning in for a second.

anywho ...

there's no way that i trade Fernandez for Choo. kid's going to be an absolute stud and you'd regret that move for about a decade. besides with keeping Jackson and Jennings you already have enough of what Choo would bring to the table (with the exception of a few RBI).

100 percent agree.

Not too sure why you're contemplating trading Fernandez. Just don't!

[Clutch]

Thanks guys, I don't know what came over me.... and I'm also going to lose Harvey as he's injured and I'm going for the win next year so I'll be keeping Wacha instead.

[wkpdpack]

Looking for advice with my keeper league...
12 teams, 5x5 roto scoring, keep 7

Right now who would your 7 keepers be?
I feel I have more keepers than I can keep and am looking to target some young guys by offering 2 of my keepers.
Who would you target and who would you offer first to get them?

Stanton
Kemp
McCutchen
C. Santana
Scherzer
Verlander
Y. Molina
Reyes
Holliday
Cl. Lee
Encarnacion

Thanks!

I am going over my keepers for the upcoming season and I am looking for a few suggestions on who you might keep. We are allowed to keep 16 players.

My keepers that I have come up with are: Fernandez, Harvey, Carpenter, Kipnis, Latos, Rosario, Addison Reed, Harper, Lawrie, Kemp, Cueto.

For my last five I can keep: Rizzo, Matt Adams, Mauer, Rosenthal, Everth Cabrera, Nova, Salazar, Yordano Ventura, Zunino, B.J. Upton, Lincecum or Owings.


Would you keep Rizzo or Adams? Can Lincecum turn it around or do I go with the young arms? I like to keep 2 closers, so do I keep Rosenthal?

I'd keep Adams, Rosenthal, Salazar, Mauer and Ventura.

That's a really nice group of guys right there.

[MattyT67]

Thank you for the suggestions. My next question would be which SS would you be targeting considering most good ones will be kept.

[dmvincent]

Any of these guys available?

Peralta
Lowrie
Simmons
Miller
A. Escobar (had a down year but plenty of talent)
E. Cabrera (maybe someone dropped him after his suspension)

[MattyT67]

I have him on my roster. Just worried about his upside after the suspension

[dmvincent]

True.

Plus you wouldn't want to let Ventura go.

I see your predicament.
