      Someone beat me to him last night. Who are the top spec guys out there right now either due to potential trade or performance? I'll throw out a couple:

      SF: Maronta and Watson. Dyson not getting it done. (Assume Melancon is owned in most leagues)
      SD: Yates? Hand could be dealt. (See what I did there?)
      NYM: Swarzak/Gsellman.
      MIA: Steckenrider. He's super cheap and Claw could be dealt?
      BAL: Givens? Britton and Brach both trade candidates.
      CHW: Fry? Soria has been mostly good, could see Sox trading him.
      TEX: Martin? Kela and Diekman both trade candidates?
      TB: Roe or Alvarado? Maybe they move Romo?

      Anyone else?

        DET Joe Jimenez is a guy I'm holding.

          Was a big yes at start of season for Givens but has been average at best.

          • If the A's trade Treinen, which I don't think is particularly likely but could happen, maybe Trivino.

            I wouldn't waste my time guessing at SF. They have four reasonable candidates and Strickland will be back in August.
            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.

            • Tor - who the hell knows. There is some rumoring going on up here that if Tepera has any value at all he could be gone (i.e. to a team that doesn't want to invest in a Treinen or Kela or Ottavino or ...). In that case, it's looking really ugly ... but if someone's desperate for saves, maybe Oh? or Clippard?
              It certainly feels that way. But I'm distrustful of that feeling and am curious about evidence.

                If Kela gets dealt, I like Leclerc to possibly take over. He's been awesome, taming some of his BB issues while maintaining strong dominance indicators. Getting lots of 8th innings ahead of Kela saves.

                • Man, I hate how common it has gotten for closers to get dealt. I have great, cheap closers right now in Kela and Barraclough, and it looks like I might lose them both.

                    I have Kela and Steckenrider so you wont lose both of your guys but that makes Kela a goner though

                      I also have Hand. It will be brutal if I lose all three.

                        • With the Rays up by a run, Romo gets the first two outs in the 9th and then gets the quick hook after he gives up a single. Then Alvarado comes in for the one out vulture save. I know Romo's only blown save the past month was against these same Astros, but geez does this mean he no longer gets to close against Houston?

                            • Looks like Mark Melancon might be a good preemptive pick up long term with Dyson blowing chunks.

                              From Closer Monkey:

                              "San Francisco Giants – Sam Dyson’s stint as Giants closer may be nearing an end. After allowing the tying and go-ahead runs last night, he’s now got four blown saves and has allowed 6 runs in his last 4.2 IP. Mark Melancon got the 8th inning hold and might get the next opportunity, if Bruce Bochy deems him ready."

                              • Don't count out Smith he has been the most dominant. There has only given up runs 2 games this year.
