So much for Drury? Torres? Andujar? Boy that team is gonna hit like a thousand HR.

Drury plays 3B, Walker at 2B, Andujar and Torres to AAA.

Worth 15 bucks in an 18 team 5x5 OBP mixer? I've got a crap keeper list...

[cavebird]

I would think so in a league that deep.

Nah. I have him being worth ~$5 in an OBP league. Torreyes and Drury will still take some ABs, so I have him topping out around 475 ABs.

For $15? Hard pass for me.

He was worth ~$2 in that format in 2017, and he's been the same guy for a few years, I don't see any way he earns $15, or even close, this year.

Some 2b who earned more last year -- Solarte, Owings, Panik, Adam Frazier, Yolmer Sanchez, Starlin Castro, Jed Lowrie, Brandon Phillips.

Agree, if he got 1000 AB it would still be questionable IMO.

Can he get 1000 AB's though? The Yanks are going to score a lot of runs.

Fair enough, now watch Revo buy him in the auction for 20...

Apparently Torres has looked very not ready so far in spring. I get that. This effectively buries him all year. I'm less sure about that. Especially with Andujar looking good in spring. I know they don't love the idea of Drury at 2B. I guess they figure someone will get hurt eventually. I just continue to wonder what this team looks like in August. Especially if Clint Frazier has a good 4 months at AAA.
