2K19- Free Agent League

[Ken]

Just picked up Reyes and Heaney in my league, thanks for the tip.

I like both, nice get.

I also picked up Meadows for Kinsler.

Hmm, I'm not sure Meadows is likely to outproduce Kinsler in fantasy.

I have Gleyber and Gyorko. Kinsler has been so awful. You might be right about Meadows vs Kinsler but he was the guy to go. Meadows will probably be gone in a week or two but I don't think I'll miss Kinsler.

[BuckyBuckner]

I made a bunch of moves the past few days...

C - Alfaro
1B - Belt
2B - Torres
SS - Semien, Adames
3B - Andujar
OF - Dickerson, Brantley, Hicks, Jankowski, Smith, Soto, O'Neill

SP - Buehler, Mikolas, Manaea, Heaney, Velasquez, Lopez, Boyd
RP - Kela, Strickland, Boxberger
DL - Reyes, Britton

I'm still in last place but it seems like I am making some progress in getting out of the basement.

[TranaGreg]

quick update ... I've settled into 6th. Plateauing on hitting cats, tough to make up ground; but there's still 4 months to go. Pitching has been respectable.

C - C Ianetta
1B - H Ramirez
2B - C Hernandez
SS - A Simmons
3B - R Healy
OF - M Brantley, C Dickerson, D Peralta
U - M Reynolds, T O'Neill (trying to catch a bit of lightning)
R - Y Alonso, M Gonzales

SP - D Bundy, A Heaney, M Mikolas, T Roark, M Fulmer, V Velasquez
RP - A Ottavino, H Strickland, K Kela, B Boxberger, S Dominguez
DL - A Reyes, D Salazar

Have made a bunch of offers to try to deal some pitching for hitting, but no takers (no counters either; not a single trade has been made in this league)

edit: just swapped Hanley for Moreland

So far Meadows was the right choice, good call.

[BuckyBuckner]

So far Meadows was the right choice, good call.

Ha, I actually waived him for Soto the next day. But I picked him back up for Boyd. But now I have eight outfielders. I need to make a trade or two. I figure Dickerson and Brantley will have trade value.

i didn't do a FA league but it's a regular H2H yahoo. who do you guys like best ROY. i am only looking mostly for BA, and maybe runs. it would help to decide before june 15th when Britton comes off DL. not really familiar with Almora. they have decent walk/strikeout ratios. former 1st rd picks. i worry about playing time too. can bench Conforto or Nimmo vs LHP sometimes. and it looks possible that Almora can hold his own vs RHP but likes LHP better, or is on the wrong side of a split and he doesn't always hit 1st. Josh Reddick is also an option as he does great at home vs RHP. but he's not hitting 2nd this year.

Michael Conforto
Brandon Nimmo
Albert Almora Jr.
Josh Reddick

Michael Conforto
Brandon Nimmo
Albert Almora Jr.
Josh Reddick

I think Conforto is the safest.

[joncarlos]

Outfield has just been brutal this year. The Mets basically said Conforto should be rehabbing in the minors but he's not. I missed picking up Nimmo before his latest hot streak. My SPs are solid but nobody seems to be paying attention enough to make trades.

C Flowers
1B Moreland
2B Matt Carpenter
3B Matt Chapman
SS Tim Anderson
OF Jose Martinez
OF Pillar
OF Schebler
UT Ryon Healy
UT Bour
BN Matt Davison, Ian Kinsler
DL Thames

SP Wacha, Clevinger, Pivetta, Heaney, Stripling, E-Rod, Lugo, Manaea
RP Strickland, Blake Parker, Kela

I was keeping Manaea around for his KC start and he didn't disappoint, but despite his 0.99 WHIP he doesn't seem to grab anyone's eye. In the last few days I've dropped both Devinski and Peacock, so I'm going to need a new MR/ratio guy soon, but I'm hoping to trade some SPs first. I'm way under my projected innings anyway.

[TranaGreg]

my team is fading. 9th place. I think it's half decent, but there's just no room to have a bad few days in these kinds of leagues.

C - C Ianetta
1B - M Moreland
2B - C Hernandez
SS - A Simmons
3B - C Villanueva
OF - M Brantley, C Dickerson, D Peralta
U - J Bour, J Soler
R - Y Alonso

SP - D Bundy, A Heaney, M Mikolas, T Roark, C Buchholz, V Velasquez, L Weaver, C Rodon
RP - H Strickland, K Kela, B Boxberger, S Dominguez
DL - A Ottavino

Losing Alex Reyes hurt

[Silentmist]

I'm still bouncing between 6th and 8th. Every time I make a push, something bad happens. I've got a lot of DL players and bad pitching.

C - Grandal
1B - Carpenter (Belt on DL)
2B - Hernandez
3B - Rendon
SS - T. Anderson
OF - Brantley, J. Martinez, Soto
UT - Nimmo, Alonso

BN - Acuna, Belt, Andrus

SP - Velasquez, Ross, Buehler, Castillo, Darvish
RP - Boxburger, Strickland, Iglesias, Hader, Devenski, C. Green

I need my hitters to come off the DL soon.

[swampdragon]

too early so far but soon enough

[BuckyBuckner]

I got my team this week.

C - Alfaro
1B - Voit, Alonso, Cron
2B - Talyor, Lowrie
SS - Wendle
3B - Lamb
OF - Renfroe, Santana, Bradley Jr, Grichuk

SP - Godley, Matz, Musgrove, Gonzales, Luzardo
RP - Givens, Hicks, May, Steckenrider, Stickland, Will Smith

Best players waived so far: Conforto, Andrus, Desmond, DeJong, Mikolas, Eovaldi and Ryu

[TranaGreg]

thanks for the reminder, it's March, I guess it's time to sign up again ...

[TranaGreg]

ok, here's my team ...

C - T Barnhart
1B - Y Alonso
2B - W Adames
SS - K Marte
3B J Candalario
OF - J Soler, M Kepler, D Santana, C Mullins, D DeShields

SP - M Pineda, J Musgrove, J Junis, K Gibson, L Weaver, M Fiers, T Tousssaint
RP - B Morrow (will go to DL spot), M Givens, S Dominguez, T May, B Parker

Nobody good waived yet ... L Gurriel probably the only interesting one.

Overall I think the offense could be half decent, but the pitching is looking pretty rough.
