Trevor Bauer

Would you take him at any price or draft position?
If so, at what cost or place?
Why or why not?

My team is going to be atrocious this year so I may take the chance if he is cheap enough. I don’t really get caught up in morals when drafting players. They’re just stats to me.

I’ve done virtually no prep so I’m not sure how high I’d go.

They’re just stats to me.

That sounds immoral.

That sounds immoral.

If I look back at my life and the most immoral thing I did was own an immoral player or two in fantasy baseball, I think I’ll have done ok.

I just meant referring to them as "just stats" might be offensive to them.

If I look back on my life and the most immoral thing I did was offend some baseball players, I’ll be greatly disappointed in myself.

Was that a call back to my ownership of the MyPillow, the pillow recommended by 11 out of 10 conspiracy theorists? If so, nice one.

Isn't Bauer one of those conspiracy theorists too? What a guy.

Buying Bauer for a buck does not mean we condone the actions of the real man off of the field.

Each one of us has our own leagues. If Bauer is going to cause divisiveness in our leagues, couldn't we just vote to remove him from our player lists?

I suspect at least for some this type of situation is part of the strategy of playing the game. As I read this thread and contemplate what I might do come auction time, I do think in terms of strategy. Would I bid Bauer for a buck in the end game? If I got him would I be happy for that buck. Now I am thinking the best strategy would be to bid Bauer for a buck early. If I get him good. I will pick up a pitcher in the reserve draft to cover me. If I get outbid good too. He may go for more if he goes early. I just have to decide how high am I willing to go for his stats in that early bidding process.

MLB still doesn't know what to do with him, I'm not sure what this extra week is going to do...

Trevor Bauer is expected to be placed on administrative leave for a week while MLB investigates a possible suspension

Bauer gets a 324 game suspension.

Bauer gets a 324 game suspension.

This was discussed in the Dodgers thread. I searched but this thread didn't appear on the first page of matches. I can't see him returning any value this year and many have cut bait.
