  • Wilmer Flores

    I have him for $7 and considering keeping him. The Dbacks infield I see 1B Lamb 2B Flores 3B Escobar and SS Ahmed. It also looks like Marte will be their primary CF so it looks like Flores should have a clear path to 500 AB. Does this seem realistic? If Flores was on the open market in a 12 team NL league what would you expect him to go for?

    That's their plan, but I'm not 100% convinced. Flores is below-average vs. RHPs so I think they'll be forced to use Marte there again, or work in scrubs like Tomlinson. I think he gets 400 PAs or so, and take anything above that as gravy.

    In a 12 tm NL only, I'd max bid probably around what you have him at, maybe $1 or $2 more depending on where he gets flipped.

      I have him at $8 and am tossing him back. Love the guy but risk/reward tradeoff isn’t compelling at that price.

        For me it would depend on who is back in the auction and where I need to spend my money. In addition who would I be cutting from my keeper list to make room for him.

          "opportunity cost" is your friend here. max in auction be might be $10, and clogging the space early might lead you to miss out on a better INF at a better price.

            He has arthritic knees and platoon splits. There's a hard ceiling for him here.

              My rule of thumb is whether I would draft a player for $5 more, unless they are stars at high prices. Would you pay $12 for Flores? Would you have to?

                Adam Jones signed with the D'Backs, which means Ketel Marte will now be playing 2B more, cutting into Flores PT.

                  I didn't keep him so that works out.
