If I whisper my wicked marching orders into the ether with no regard to where or how they may bear fruit, I am blameless should a broken spirit carry those orders out upon the innocent, for it was not my hand that took the action merely my lips which let slip their darkest wish. ~Daniel Devereaux 2011

Pollock was pulled off the table. I got Lester 12, Belt 3 and Pomeranz 1
I felt I needed the depth in my keeper pool
Thanks for the feedback
I know this does you no good now, but while Pollock for DeGrom was a good deal, in a 15 team mixed league, as a general rule, I think giving the best player/keeper is usually the wrong play. Unless you keep 15+ players, I'm not sure Pomernaz is a keeper, unless he is anointed closer, of course, and if that happens, the value in this deal shifts a good bit.
Is the sense that he has the inside track on the job? I am not up-to-date on my Padres news.

Yeah... that's not a very good deal. I mean, I guess the downgrade from Degrom to Lester isn't that bad. And Belt is useful in a league that deep. But the Padres signed Rodney to close, so Pomeranz isn't a keeper.
I have a very thin keeper list in my opinion. I am not planning on keeping Pomeranz unless he gets the gig, which is up for grabs again, in my opinion. I am confident in Lester and belt. I hate giving up deGrom but it does bring me more value and allows me to not keep a very at value 24 dollar player
Usually 25% or slightly less. Of course it's not uniform; top hitters have higher inflation. Top SP max out at $35 at auction but most are low $30s. I have cheap keepers and am debating whether to keep Goldschmidt at $49 given my cheap keepers and his production/reliability. So deGrom is not an easy call.
1) would you extend deGrom from $16 option to $21 for two years?
2) would you rather have deGrom at $16 or Syndergaard at $5? Might be able to pursue a trade.

Syndergaard at 5...
