Just acquired him in a 1 catcher league...he's currently 5 bucks. Is he worth extending 2 years to 15, or just 1 to 10? Thanks!

He is only 26, I would be tempted to give two years. That puts him at about value. I would let the inflation be my profit."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

The downside is he might get traded to the AL and Miami offense is going to be more challenged this season. If I had kept him and not traded him to you I would have extended him 1 season."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

It's an NL only...but I'd get his stats for this season, and incur no penalty if he's traded to the AL, so there's no real risk to extending him, other than adding the salary to this season."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Unless it is a very deep NL only (over 12 teams) or you are not competing this year, I would take the profit. He won't stay in Miami long, and with a one catcher league, there are always $1 options. My main league is a 16-team mixed (with a $300 budget) and I would stop well before $10 in the bidding (I assume he will be in the draft, I think he'd be $20 this year otherwise)---there are just too many options that won't hurt and give you 15 HR in a one catcher league. Other than Sanchez, Posey, and Contreras, I won't bid over $2 for anyone this year (and two of those are kept; only Posey is available). The advantage to this is huge---catchers get hurt more than other position players and since there are guys that will play on the waiver wire in a one catcher league (unless the benches are really deep) so spending money elsewhere makes more sense to me; you can get the same production as more than half the league gets off the waiver wire, so why spend?

I would not chime in but league context has been left out. This is the old as the hills 12TO NL, with 23 active/5 reserve/10 farm and legendary 50% inflation on top 2 dozen hitters. The structure is such that someone like Cody Bellinger explodes on scene he is $5 for yr 0, nests 2 yrs at $5, then keeper decision is made yr 4, he likely will be a 3+ yr contract, meaning league doesnt get to auction him for 5, 6 years. Active trading, always have rebuilders, a team who is passive and does not build up an arsenal for a championship run will be at a disadvantage to just having a good auction and win.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostBut only for this year, right? I'm thinking that if he's dealt to the AL you get 2018 stats, but you lose him for 2019 and beyond. Given gc's note about inflation, I'd extend him a year, and bet on Miami getting the best deal from a NL team, and if not, you're not out a ton. But there's no way I'd extend to 15 even with steep inflation, given that it's almost certain he's dealt.
I also have the #1 farm pick in a year when there's no clear cut #1...why no Harper this year?"Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
