    One owner has Vlad, Bregman, Alvarez, and Springer. He currently has six offense points, one above the minimum, and is ready to dump. I'm in first and ready to pounce on two of them. How would you rank them moving forward?
    If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

      Alvarez first pretty clearly for me....then probably VlaD, Springer and Bergman,

        I agree.

          Yeah my first offer will include Yordan and Vlad.

            That's not what we do with FS around here, whether or not we actually agree. The correct response is "I disagree."

                Some more:
                Jarred Kelenic - I guess Atlanta can't fix everyone. No power, no speed, not much of anything in fact. Panic Meter - 8.

                Mitch Garver - .163/.270/.316. Whiffing at a 40% clip. He's on a 2-year deal, so he's likely not going anywhere. Good buy low? Panic Meter - 4.

                Brandon Drury - was one of the most consistent hitters over the last couple of years, but he's off to an awful start: .156/.219/.208. Probably another solid buy low type. Panic Meter - 4.

                Jordan Beck - just came up and is 3-for-21 which is fine, but it's the 0 BBs and 11 Ks (52% K rate) which is very troubling. If you were overjoyed that you got him on waivers for free, well.....Panic Meter - 8.

                    He tricked me by saying something that made sense. I won't let him do that again.

                      You say that, but I will keep spewing nonsense, then in August or next January it will happen again....I am playing the long game

                          Even a broken clock is right twice a day (or once, if you're using a 24 hour clock).

                              That makes assumptions about failure modes that don't withstand even the slightest scrutiny. Just tired cliches ? Do better, sir

                                Are you expectations of me so high that you really expect me to do better? I'm honored.
