      Dayum. I targeted him in all of my leagues, but struck out when he kept going too expensive, or I found better value elsewhere. Whew.

            Holy crap! I also targeted Marte in both of my leagues but ended up with Polonco in both instead. The chance of the Pirates being out of contention and trading Cutch just went up even more. Adam Frazier looks like an everyday player now.

              Is 80 games excessive? Historically speaking?

                That's what Dee Gordon received last year.

                  80 is what Gordon got. don't ask why I know that.

                  our Marte owner just paid 44 for him.

                  at least he also owns Meadows.

                  check that, he TRADED Meadows in a pre-freeze list deal in March.

                  at least he has his one-round June draft pick, which after this might land him the top NL player in the early June draft if he likes.

                  Check that, he traded that pick to ME last year.

                    It's specifically the rule. 80 for 1st time, 162 for 2nd time.

                      Just traded with my kid to get Marte yesterday. Great timing. Lesson #1 - Never trade with your kid.

                        Jon Gray and Starling Marte... two and half weeks in, and I'm f*cked out of contention by random nonsense.

                        See y'all next spring...

                          Recovery, I expect. Speed guys legs can take a heck of a beating - stop/starts, dives into 1B, sliding into bases.

                          It's also possible all the talk about lack of power got to him, too.

                              The team I thought was a prohibitive favorite this year has Turner, Sanchez, and Marte. He still has Trout and Bryant.

                              I'd had Marte for the past four years but his contract expired after last season. I still have him in my sim league but fortunately won't feel the pain until next year.
