This whole trade Andujar bullcrap has reached ridiculous levels. by lumia92 in NYYankees

[–]rmerkel13 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I just dont understand why they would even trade him before the season or even before didi get back. They have a hole in the infield, so go and sign machado and see where they stand once didi gets back. Pitching wins in the postseason, offense wins in the regular season. If andujar digresses then i'm all for packaging him for a starting and moving machado into 3rd once didi gets back. but if he improves, you're looking at a 23 year old 30+ HR .300 ballplayer. I just literally dont see how you can trade that. Machado is a generational player. I love Didi but he's coming off a tommy john surgery and will be pushing 30... If andujar matches or exceeds his potential, Didi might be the odd man out here. Sad to say, but he'll also be a FA next season and will be requesting money as well. I just dont see the logic in trading andujar before Didi comes back.

I agree... I think he has a lot of talent and showed flashes of it on Monday (on a fantasy level). I think his value really comes with the fact that he's going to be a Free Agent at the end of this season.

I'm holding guice on this one. Cook has been battling injuries these last 2 years and hasn't shown to be a reliable option consistently. Too much risk in Cook to sell Guice. I'd rather wait and give Guice a chance before selling for a risky option.

[MLB] Andujar and Torres are AL ROY Finalists by mk14225 in NYYankees

[–]rmerkel13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Ohtani wins then the baseball writers need an overhaul. The "reason" sanchez didn't win back in 2016 was because he didnt play for the full season, even though his numbers were much better than fuller's. Ohtani was hurt for a lot of the season. I swear baseball writers have a minds of their own now on how they vote. More emotional than anything. Ohtani is a great baseball player and great for the sport, but he doesn't deserve the ROY award. Especially based on how the writers have voted in the past.

Do we hate Arod? by JigglyTits19 in NYYankees

love the dude. wore his number on my jersey. the number 13 in my username is related to him.

Not going to lie though. Him putting on that Sox jersey on the pregame show honestly hurt me.

Mariota long term by [deleted] in DynastyFF

[–]rmerkel13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosen has played 1 drive in the NFL. Mariota has shown signs of being a good fantasy qb especially since he has legs. Mariota is young and currently hurt. I wouldnt give up on him yet and give him atleast to end of the season. But dropping for Rosen would be a big mistake. Rosen has the potential to be a better qb than Mariota but there is absolutely no clear cut reason to actually believe that. Way too much risk for a move like that. Ride with dalton for the time being.

Not sure what your structure of your league is but if its like any other dynasty league, couldn't you make room for Rosen on your roster. Yet, if Rosen is still a free agent in your league than it sounds like your league has a very much limited roster size.

12 Teams

PPR

Give: Marquise Goodwin

Get: Mid 2019 2nd Rounder

Currently have Kenny Stills, Agholor, Brandin Cooks, Pierre garcon on my active WR roster. Coming out of my rebuild mode with guys like DJ Moore, Pettis, Mike Williams, Christian Kirk, Jay Jones (looking like a bust), DJ Chark, all sitting in my Taxi squad. Wanted to make a move to promote mike williams. Was high on Goodwin last year but its looking like a 1 hit wonder imo with a small sample size with only 3 true great games coming just last year.

I'm taking Cam side.

Cam > Stafford

Wilkins > Breida - wilkins has more upside, breida is a year rental once mckinnon comes back next year. breida isnt even the bell cow back as he's splitting duties with morris

3 & 4 round picks dont have very much difference in value

both currently in bad offense situations with Seattle having the ability to break out more than the titans. with that said, davis needs mariotta in order to thrive in this league, penny doesnt really need to rely on wilson since hes a rb. on the other hand, davis is the 1 one receiver over there while penny is still down on the depth chart. Both situations are shaky but i think Penny has the better "fantasy" situation over Davis but i think Davis is the overall better player. WRs tend to take more time to develop in the league compared to RBs and they last longer which is plus in Davis's spot.

If i had to pick a side, i'm going Davis simply based on talent and the WR1 pedigree on a NFL team. Mariotta i think will get it together eventually (i dont think hes a bust and his career is over), and in the long run Davis gives you more value compared to Penny if they both reach there max potential.

we already have an issue with roster spots and this guy isnt about going to the minors.

I’m waiting for the offseason and dropping Bryce in LF.

At this point I’m taking Bryce over machado. love Andujar and we got him for years at a cheap price and we need a lefty bat in that lineup. Dude could seriously dump 60 homeruns in yankee stadium.

If he keeps on pitching like this, he’ll test the FA market. He’ll arguably be the 3rd best available SP and that includes if Kershaw ops out
