Lincecum, Peavy or an extra bat with last pick.

[havanablast21]

Final pick.

Do I add Lincecum or Peavy to my starting rotation for:
Stasburg
Tanaka
Wei Chen
Y. Pettit
smyly

Or take a chance on batters
Y. Escobar, D. young or t. snider

Super deep 20 team league keep all.

I'm next up to draft. Looking for gut check sleepers here.

[havanablast21]

Argh. This was a boring thread title eh? Oh well. I'll sleep on it

[GinFizz]

TJ House, Hutchinson, DeSclafani avail? If not, I'd go with Snider.

[havanablast21]

Nope. All taken.

Im leaning toward Snider too.

[havanablast21]

TJ House, Hutchinson, DeSclafani avail? If not, I'd go with Snider.

Any love for AJ Burnett in this deep League? I may be able to get Snider as a free agent. And my OF if full of top 100 ORanked (Yahoo) players including my Util spot. Snider may start on my bench.

[GinFizz]

meh... Is it a weekly league? Can you stream pitchers? Is there an inning cap limit?

[davidgoodburn]

With those options I'd much rather roster a guy starting in te minors that might get an early call up like Russell, Heaney, Gray, Syndergaard are all options.

Of those listed I'd go with Snider

[havanablast21]

TJ house was dropped. You think he's a good add?

[GinFizz]

In a 16 team league?? Yep.. he is not a lock for the rotation but he is a good speculative pick..

- - - Updated - - -

Is Carlos Rodon taken?

[havanablast21]

20 team league actually. Makes it even better.

Would you take him (house) over Chris young in KC?

Rondo is gone.

[GinFizz]

House.. by far.. he just landed the 5th spot in Cleveland..

[2014olympicgold]

Matt Moore, then DL him. He’s a form 17W 25yr old pitcher who’s back Mid-May early June. He’ll be on the DL after April 6^th (TripleA game that day), so if you can wait a week with him on your roster, he’s a solid pick.

Graveman is about to get the 5^th spot in Oakland (if not Pomeranz just had a solid game yesterday to win it), Carlos Martinez was just announced as the Cards 5^th starter. He may be O-Ranked 800+, but I’ve been pumping his tires like no ones business. T. Walker in Seattle might be available (doubt it), Hammel in the Cubs, you can pick up Yu Darvish and DL him once he’s on the List next week.

[havanablast21]

Thanks 2014OG.

Unfortunately all the aforementioned prospects are rostered. Man...I've never been in a league this deep. I made a couple shuffles. Here's my roster below. Let me know where you see the most glaring weaknesses
Offence:
C - Salvador Perez
1b - Garrett Jones (RF), Mitch Moreland (just picked him up on a whim of him netting the most DH work)
2b - Scooter Gennett, DJ LeMahieu
SS - Eduardo Escobar (2b/3b), Francisco Lindor (speculative Keep, although J. Ramirez is available)
3b - Marcus Semien (2b and hoping soon for SS - my 1st round pick this year), Mike Moustakas

OF - Corey Dickerson, Charlie Blackmon, Carlos Gonzalez, Melky Cabrera, Alex Gordon (My OF is actually pretty strong IMO so long as Blackmon repeats last year's production as well as Gordon)

Pitching:
SP - Strasburg
SP - Tanaka
SP - Wei-Yin Chen
SP - Drew Smyly
SP - Chase Anderson
SP - AJ Burnett (took a chance on the draft - 2nd round pick)
SP - TJ House

RP/SP - Lincecum, Y. Petit (not sure who comes out ahead in this Giants Rotation/Pen)... Both could be drops.

RP - Cishek
RP - Feliz

Roster and Stat Categories:
Roster Positions: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, IF, LF, CF, RF, OF, Util, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, P, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, DL, DL
Batters Stat Categories: At Bats (AB), Runs (R), Doubles (2B), Triples (3B), Home Runs (HR), Runs Batted In (RBI), Stolen Bases (SB), Walks (BB), Total Bases (TB), Batting Average (AVG)

Waiver Watch List(for me)...I currently have 5th Priority

C - Carlos Ruiz
1b - Mark Reynolds, Nick Swisher
2b - Bonifacio, Drew, Izturis, Johnny Giavotella
SS - JJ Hardy (Just dropped). Yunel Escobar, Ruben Tejada,
3b - Conor Gillaspie, Jake Lamb

OF - Rasmus, Jarrod Dyson, Dave Murphy, Sam Fuld, Delmon Young, Grady Sizemore, Kevin Pillar

SP - Jorge De La Rosa, Johan Santana (hell..may as well watch him), Rafael Montero, Zach McAllister, Edwin Jackson
RP - Janssen, Herrara, Zach Putnam, JP Howell, Aaron Loup, Brad Ziegler, Affeldt, Alburquerque, Jordan Walden, Marco Estrada, Joel Peralta, Aaron Barrett, Charlie Furbush, Bobby Parnell, Will Smith, Joba Chamberlain, Kyle Drabek, Manny Parra

This is my first time in a League with HOLDS...so clearly if there's more value in a holds heavy relief pitcher than with the starters if compiled, open to suggestions there. Thoughts? Obvious weaknesses? Unrealized assets (that I should NOT be dropping just incase I fail to value them accordingly?)

Thanks guys. Like I said before, I haven't been in a league larger than 12 teams before, and have never used Holds as a category... so any help I can get to help me get the best out of this team I took over... would be appreciated. (Plus... if you can think of any other DEEP sleepers that I should Star... as 2014OG tried to do...

Thanks.

(Sorry this is so long but wanted to lay it all out there...something tells me I should have started a new thread) I Guess we'll see.

[2014olympicgold]

Jarrod Dyson is a SB machine if you need some at one point. Lamb is a good prospect, but don’t expect much this yr. Aaron Loup may be a solid Holds guy, but the Jays starting pitching is shaky for me. Maybe Hutch, Norris, and Sanchez do well enough to set up holds and saves but who knows. If you need a 2B at some point, Devon Travis of the BJ had a good spring training hitting 19/54 (0.352) and an OPS was 0.860. He’s young, and Goins is his only threat at 2^nd base so he’ll prolly get a lot of AB. Jeff Hoffman, Osuna, Castro and Reid-Foley are all decen prospects in the BlueJays organization.

Maybe get the guy behind Matt Kemp in the depth chat. Hip issue’s almost stopped that trade and it’s quite the nasty injury for baseball players. All the power comes from there and the slightest amount of pain can set off his timing.

You’re league is way deeper than I’m use to haha. So my insight is pretty limited.

[havanablast21]

No no... this is great feedback 2014OG. You guess is as good as mine here and more heads are better than just mine! Hoping Ax, Nooge and Ginfizz may chime in here... and anyone else who felt obliged to click on perhaps the most boring thread title in the latest posts!

Those Jays prospects aren't even showing in Yahoo. (argh!) Especially for Castro. would love to stash him. And While Dyson may be a nice stash, I'm overloaded with quality players in the OF.

This is almost getting frustrating!

Thanks fella.
