Originally posted by revo View PostI was wondering when Familia would go. I guess the threat of an impending suspension being held over his head has suppressed his value, but arguably he's the 3rd best closer out there.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Originally posted by revo View PostStill a good pick at this stage. At worst, what does he miss, 30 games?
Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News hears from industry sources that Jeurys Familia's suspension is likely to be at least 30 games.
Familia's domestic assault charge was dismissed Thursday after his wife, Bianca Rivas, declined to press charges following an incident on October 31. There's precedent for a 30-game suspension, as that's what Aroldis Chapman received last year after his girlfriend declined to press charges after a domestic assault incident. There's no timetable for when Major League Baseball will officially announce a decision. The Mets will use Addison Reed to close games while Familia is away.I'm unconsoled I'm lonely, I am so much better than I used to be.

Originally posted by Ken View PostWhile Familia has been very good, on stats alone, Reed has actually been the better pitcher of the two since he's been in NY. I wonder what happens if Reed is successful in April, he was lights out last year and he has been a closer in the past. What are the chances that Familia never sees that closer role again?
Familia led the majors in saves last season and has proven he can handle the role. I understand what you're saying about Reed, and while it's true that Familia has been exemplary but Reed's stats have been better, he is a FA after the year and is likely a goner.

You might want to get rid of that dog, or put him in the circus, one of the two.”

Yeah, i really like Morales in Toronto too. I was hoping his lack of a position would allow him to make it back to me. I guess not. Nice pick!“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.”

Robertson is on my do not touch list this season. He's got three yuuuuge red flags: subpar performance in 2016; the risk of being on a rebuilding team who is dying to trade him; and the risk of his set-up guy being much better than he is.
Not saying he won't skate past all three, but that's too much of a risk for me this year.
