  • 2K19- Free Agent League

    I saw that few people posted their teams in the 2017 free agent thread but I thought I'd start a new one. Please put your rosters in here so we can keep the conversation going. I picked my team this morning and starting pitching is really thin but closers/potential closers are plentiful. For some reason Giolito was drafted on my team but I'm keeping him anyway. He's not good enough for it to really matter for this exercise.

    C - Iannetta
    CR - Morales, Gyorko
    MI - Walker, Semien, Beckham
    OF - Choo, Hicks, Altherr, M Smith, C Dickerson
    UT - McMahon

    SP - Giolito, Manaea, Flaherty, Estrada
    RP - Kela, Boxberger, Parker, Ziegler, Jones, Soria, Strickland
    DL - Gregerson (who I guess I can drop now that Holland was signed; who was drafted so I can't pick him up)
    I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

    The Weakerthans Aside

    C - C Ianetta
    1B - L Morrison
    2B - D Travis
    SS - O Arcia
    3B - M Chapman
    OF - B Zimmer, L Brinson, C Dickerson
    UT - S Schleber, Y Alonso,
    BN - J Soler, A Barnes, M Brantley

    SP - D Bundy, M Shoemaker, T Roark, M Mikolas
    RP - B Boxberger, K Kela, N Jones, H Strickland
    BN - M Givens, M Estrada

    When I drafted/replaced a couple of weeks ago I had zero closers, but have been able to pick up four just by paying attention. Yeah, SP is thin - I'm hopeful that this league is somewhat active & I can trade up - I see that 11 of the 12 teams have already made transactions, so there's that.

    I think my offense can be middle of the pack as is, though I'm already 15 runs & rbis off the lead.
    It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

      this is going to be tough

      C - Grandal
      1B - Pujols
      2B - Castro
      SS - Peraza
      3B - Davidson (but not on opening day)
      OF - Belt(might cut), L Brinson, M. Taylor
      UT - J Martinez, McMahon
      BN - M Smith, Alonso, Travis

      SP - F Hernandez, Chatwood, Peacock, Suter, Folty
      RP - B Boxberger, Robertson, Devenski, H Strickland
      BN - Cobb,
      DL - Salazar

      My methodology has always been trade saves for power or better SP as soon as possible - and also the same thing with steals

      I am also going to see if any of your players are out there

        I went & picked up Josh Fields this am, just in case ... I've also been able to pick up Hanley Ramirez & Cesar Hernandez on waivers & Danny Salazar to stash on my DL over the past few days.

            My offense sucks too. Big time, so I made a bunch of changes.

            C - Iannetta
            CR - Belt, Davidson (after the 3 HR game)
            MI - Semien, Beckham, Escobar
            OF - Choo, M Smith, C Dickerson, Reddick, Tucker
            DL - Hicks

            SP - Giolito, Manaea, Estrada, Bundy, Mahle, Wainright
            RP - Kela, Boxberger, Parker, Ziegler, Soria, Strickland
            DL - Salazar

            I decided to try and pick up some players off to hot starts, they will be gone when they cool off but I couldn't wait too much longer as I'm really falling behind in R, HR and RBI.

            I'm wondering if picking up Middleton for Parker would be a good move. I also don't really want to roster Ziegler, Steck and Barraclough are available.

              OK - I wasnt paying attention for a few days just due to frustation
              but a trade was accepted so I will check things out

              I traded davidson and strickland
              for McCutcheon and Brantley

              I am going to keep trading closers to upgrade hitters - Now I need to see what I can do for starting pitching

                I hope you acted on this, he's looking to be the guy.

                I'm up to 35 moves so far ...

                C - C Ianetta
                1B - H Ramirez
                2B - C Hernandez
                SS - A Simmons
                3B - M Chapman
                OF - M Brantley, L Brinson, C Dickerson
                UT - S Schleber, Y Alonso,
                BN - B Zimmer, S Schleber, L Morrison, S Souza (DL)

                SP - D Bundy, T Roark, M Mikolas, V Velasquez
                RP - B Boxberger, K Kela, H Strickland, N Jones, A Ottavino
                BN - M Estrada, J Fields, D Salazar (DL)

                I'm actually tied for 4th but it's smoke & mirrors as I've gotten lucky & have 12's in both ERA & ratio. That won't last with this roster. I'm thinking of trying to bundle Bundy & Boxberger to get a big name or two, tho having both Souza & Salazar joining in a few weeks (hopefully) should help.

                  Sadly, I didn't and someone picked him up a few hours ago. That's what I get for going out last night and being busy this morning/afternoon so I didn't look at anything till just now.

                  I'm at 34 moves so far, soon to be 35 when I drop Parker...

                    Someone in my league just dropped Doolittle for Ottavino. Whaaaa?

                      that's funny, I just picked up Ottavino too ... but sure didn't drop a closer to do it!

                      Good luck!

                        I have the 10th waiver spot so I doubt I'll get Doolittle but I'll put a claim in anyway.

                          Ian Happ cleared waivers in my league so I grabbed him. I'm not sure I believe in him, and he's been putrid, but he could be a nice flip if he puts together a good couple weeks, or he could figure it out and be a centerpiece of my offense.

                            I never understand these early season narratives (not just you, I see this everwhere).

                            Happ has had far too many strikeouts this year, but we saw that last year too. He had a rough first 3 games (although he obviously had a nice 1st pitch of the season).

                            Since then he's hitting .292/.346/.458

                            Is that really different than what we expected him to be?

                            He hit .321/.400/.811 with 7 HR and 3 SB in spring training which was just last month. Is the thought that he just suddenly forgot how to hit as soon as the regular season started?

                              45% K rate in 40 PAs is very, very bad. That's all I meant.
