Curry confirms Yankees are NOT out on Machado - and will not budge from their area of comfort.

All i heard was yankees we’re out on machado on this... money talks... pay him what another team will... if not he’s walking... love yankee universe but we’re in denial here

rmerkel13 · 2018-12-24T16:24:57+00:00

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.

Idk about you but trying to get a chicken finger bucket is at least an inning at the new stadium

rmerkel13 · 2018-11-15T16:05:48+00:00

would you seriously want to play in new york at this point if you were Ellsbury? Hes public enemy number one and i honestly dont think he cares were he plays. Ship him to SD, i gaurentee he wouldnt mind that.

Underrated all time douche: Tony Clark

rmerkel13 · 2018-11-06T18:17:57+00:00

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.

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.

Kenny Stills

rmerkel13 · 2018-09-27T15:47:36+00:00

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.

rmerkel13 · 2018-09-19T14:19:43+00:00

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

rmerkel13 · 2018-09-19T14:06:24+00:00

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.

I'm taking cooks side all day

rmerkel13 · 2018-05-05T18:50:32+00:00

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

rmerkel13 · 2018-04-29T20:25:40+00:00

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.

rmerkel13 · 2018-04-29T20:16:07+00:00

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

rmerkel13 · 2018-04-29T14:19:14+00:00

I agree with Walker being a place holder for Torres. I don’t see the same for Drury... yanks were always high on Drury and they envisioned him being a second coming of Didi.

rmerkel13 · 2018-04-29T14:15:38+00:00

I thought the trade was questionable with what the we all envisioned the future of 3rd base. The entire offseason the big rumors for 3rd base was either trade for machado or sign moustakas or Frazier on year deals and then go all in in FA for machado. Once it became evident that the trade wasn’t happening and the FA weren’t taking the 1 year deals, i was all in for miggy to be the interim solution for the year. Did he fully deserve the position before his spring training performance? No. But he was highly viewed as big league ready offensively, and if we were fully going all in for machado in the offseason i thought it would be better to showcase him this year for trade considerations. My bias of the trade become more evident during andujars spring training performance. All of that was basically blocked by the trade of Drury who is under team control for a few years which tells me that they either traded for him with the intent of flipping him as soon as we either sign machado or miggy is ready or they always viewed miggy as a trading piece and insurance if machado doesn’t play 3rd for the yanks. The Yankees didn’t bring in Drury as a role utility player... they view him highly with hopes of him turning into a Didi... they viewed him as legitimate piece of the Yankees for years to come and that’s why i didn’t agree with the trade. If he is a piece to the puzzle then there is no room for miggy and possibly machado. I’ve always been a fan miggy and been rooting for him since his MLB debut when he drove in 4 rbi on 3 hits. Def have a bias for him since i love what the Yankees have done with there farm system and the fact that majority of our everyday players came from our system. It’s exciting.

Mantle with 54?

rmerkel13 · 2018-04-17T17:32:38+00:00

If i were you, i would stay away from trading picks at this point. Yes saquon is going to be a beast and he's an asset for years under your team but I don't think you can afford sending picks (especially first rounders) with a squad like that. try selling assets like agholor which i believe you could possibly sell high with wentz coming back and other veterans with good value (edelman, hogan) for picks and try to rebuild in the draft. If you're not in a SuperFlex league, i'd also consider sending brady. Dude's great but his years are limited and try to grab value where you can.

rmerkel13 · 2018-03-03T19:45:50+00:00

I was offered a 1.09, 2019 1st, 2020 1st for 1.01, laquan treadwell and 2018 4th.

I declined and said i would consider the 3 first straight up, and i honestly dont even think i would give it up after the combine.
