2K19- Free Agent League

[Ken]

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

And yet, to me at least, it means almost nothing because the sample size is so tiny.
For example, he has just a 25% K rate (which is under his career avg) in his last 5 games (out of 10)

Well, I didn't get Doolittle, but I did get Corey Seager !!

C - Iannetta
CR - Belt, Gyorko, Senzel
MI - Semien, Kinsler, Seager
OF - Brantley, M Smith, C Dickerson, Reddick, Hicks, Pirela

SP - Manaea, Estrada, Bundy, Duffy, Junis
RP - Kela, Boxberger, Ziegler, Soria, Strickland
DL - Salazar

I'm still stuck in last place as my hitting is awful but hopefully some of these recent additions will help out. I was really surprised to see Seager dropped and then really surprised no one picked him up on waivers ahead of my 9th spot after his 4 hits outburst the other day. But no. Also happy with the Duffy pickup. Pirela and Reddick might not be on my team much longer.

Corey Seager was... dropped??
Was Stanton dropped too? Geez.

[TranaGreg]

wow. that'll help.

I'm actually in 4th! (and touched first for a few mins earlier this week!) The power cats are poor but pitching has been pretty solid. I've got a good thing going where I have 6 solid RP's active & I rotate my 5 SPs through the 2 open spots on my active roster. It's been working out pretty well.

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

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

There have been some mildly interesting drops lately in this league - no Seager, but still interesting - R Braun, A Hicks, S Castro, C Owings, J Peraza ... hopefully more slow starters get waived

Crazy, Seager was dropped for Miguel Rojas! Someone should call his mother, she'll be so proud. The same team has Donaldson on the DL. I want to make him a trade offer if he's willing to give up on a player this easily.

Dahl is up (maybe temporarily) and Gleyber is up - worth looking for them.

[joncarlos]

Team is a bit of a mess right now as I am struggling to find usable 2B/3B options. Offered a bunch of trades but got no response at all. Too many damn outfielders.

C Iannetta
1B Jose Martinez
2B Ian Happ
3B Matt Carpenter
SS Marcus Semien
OF Choo
OF Reddick
OF Deshields
UT Dahl
UT Teoscar
Bench - Aaron Hicks, Eric Thames (about to go on DL), Hanley, Tyler Flowers (on the DL)

SP Manaea, Jordan Montgomery, Mahle, Pivetta, Odorizzi
RP Strickland, Kela, Devinski, Peacock, David Robertson

[Silentmist]

I'm currently sitting in 6th place. My roster is starting to look like a drafted team. This league has zero problem cutting struggling players.

C - Grandal (undrafted)
1B - Belt (undrafted)
2B - Hernandez (cut pre-season)
3B - Chapman (undrafted)
SS - Anderson (cut pre-season)
OF - Brantley (cut pre-season)
OF - Jose Martinez (undrafted)
OF - Acuna (cut after he didn't get the call)
UT - Andujar (undrafted)
UT - Moncada (cut a week in)

Bench - Olson, Kingery, Buxton, Andrus (last two cut post injury)

SP - Darvish (cut last week)
SP - Ryu (undrafted)
RP - Boxburger (undrafted)
RP - Hader (undrafted)
P - Devenski (undrafted)
P - Strickland (undrafted)
P - Betances (cut a few weeks in)
P - Chad Green (undrafted)

Bench - Castillo, Flaherty

[Silentmist]

I've also made 78 moves so far this season...

wow, that's impressive. I'm at 43. Guess I've been asleep at the wheel!

I had been pretty comfortably between 4th & 6th until last week when I got Bundied. That dropped me down to 10th. Working my way back.

C - C Ianettta
1B - Hanley

RP - K Kela, B Boxberger, H Strickland, A Ottavino
DL - A Reyes, D Salazar

[joncarlos]

My team is putrid. 9th place, 69 moves (nice), 54.5 points. Nobody seems to be interested in trading. I have the 3rd waiver pick and someone just dropped Tim Anderson. I don't *think* I'm going to burn my waiver position but I'm tempted.

C - Iannetta
1B - Hanley
2B - Peraza
SS - Semien
3B - Matt Davidson
OF - Dahl
OF - Teoscar

SP - Manaea, E-Rod, Wacha, Pivetta
RP - Strickland, Kela, Brach, David Robertson, Peacock, Devenski

[BuckyBuckner]

I've been stuck in last place. I think I moved to 11th for one day. I am not as active as I should be, I've "only" made 49 moves. I don't think it's a bad team but my beginning was so bad that I just can't make up any ground.

C - Iannetta
1B - Belt
2B - Gyorko
SS - Semien
3B - Andujar
OF - Dickerson, M Smith, Brantley, Reddick, Hicks

RP - Kela, Boxberger, Soria, Strickland
DL - Britton, Salazar

[TranaGreg]

anyone in a FA league - in case you haven't stashed Alex Reyes on your DL now is the time ...

I'm sitting in 6th. Slowly gaining. Also picked up Andrew Heaney a couple of weeks ago ... starting pitching is looking almost half-decent (not quite, but getting there).

Maybe past the time, he's gone in all my leagues.

[BuckyBuckner]

Just picked up Reyes and Heaney in my league, thanks for the tip. I also picked up Meadows for Kinsler.

My team still sucks
