another choice - I'm toying with picking up Gallo & dropping Gurriel today. After seeing his HR yesterday (a prodigious shot), I'm wondering if he might get more ABs even when Beltre returns. If he has a hot April he'd be a good guy to try to flip. Probably worth a gamble & it doesn't seem like Gurriel will take the job & run with it ... the only thing is that Gallo's only eligible at Util.It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

Originally posted by joncarlos View PostYeah, I think Gallo is the guy you have to get. Is Yuli *really* that different from Josh Bell or CJ Cron or any other guy who will be on the WW in a month? The Rangers don't really have a long-term LF (they have Profar and Deshields) so maybe if Gallo sticks he takes over that role.

Have you guys picked up Graveman in these leagues? He seems like a good target.

Originally posted by Ken View PostAgree with the premise of playing for upside in this kind of league, but Gallo is almost guaranteed to spend significant time in the minors. He isn't going to take over for Beltre permanently, and there's no room in the crowded OF.

I have Graveman on my watchlist ... not jumping just yet (at least in my league the waiver wire/free agents seems to have a reasonable collection of SP's) ... power on the other hand is at a big premiumIt certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

I would not wait to jump on Graveman.

hey, my intentionally auctioned team is hitting .163 for the season. you're not doing so bad.In the best of times, our days are numbered, anyway. And it would be a crime against Nature for any generation to take the world crisis so solemnly that it put off enjoying those things for which we were presumably designed in the first place, and which the gravest statesmen and the hoarsest politicians hope to make available to all men in the end: I mean the opportunity to do good work, to fall in love, to enjoy friends, to sit under trees, to read, to hit a ball and bounce the baby.

I've started so I'll finish.
My league has been disaster after disaster.
Joined one so late that there was no 'free' waiver time before season start.
Straight into match ups.
Then realized it was an 'Add 6' a week league...
So the minimum squad size is 18, it will take me 3 weeks to even fill a squad, outside of trading 1 for 2.
But sure, who do I have to trade yet...I have 6 players.
To add to the issues, its a 'Daily - Tomorrow' league. It's a personal thing, but I hate that setting!
I have my work cut out!
but its a 12 man, 6 make the play off league! So still a bit of hope.
