AFA Trade

[virgonomic]

I pickup up Bohm last week and was fixing to drop him due to his slow start. Then I got a trade offer for PAlonso. I need pitching help and targetted MKelly.

His latest offer is PAlonso/MKelly for DSmith/Bohm. I picked up both of them last week. Do it?

Pete Alonso for free? Sure.

I'm not that confident Merrill Kelly will continue to do what Madison Bumgarner should be doing, but unless that's Yonder Alonso instead of Pete Alonso, I'd push "ACCEPT" on that trade offer fast enough that the other owner can't take it back.

And if it is Yonder pass.

As a Bohm owner we have a different idea of what starting out slow is. He is batting .286 or .333 for OBP leagues. He has only struck out twice in 14 ABS. Not hot, but not slow.

There's rarely ever anything to look at after 14 AB. This season is teaching us some bad habits with sample sizes.

What Bumgarner should be doing? Bumgarner hasn't been an ace since 2016

That's fair. I was going to post "less than hot start". He probably needs some time to ease in and I'm not sure what his ceiling is this year.

I pulled the trigger. Thanks to all for the feedback.

If it's Pete it's an auto accept

Agreed.

I would still suggest an 0-14 would be considered a slow start. Not indicative of overall talent, but slow none the less.

Making contact with big league pitching (only 2K's) at least hints at there could be some hope.

It's Pete.

Good for you congrats!

He should be a heck of a lot closer to Merrill Kelly numbers right now.
