Originally posted by Judge Jude View Postif it's Sanchez, are we factoring in Berti's positional versatility and potential to provide scarce SBs?
he has 545 MLB AB, so basically a full season's worth:
10 HR, 52 RBI, 99 R, 31 SB, .251 AVG
how much would you bid for those stats?
though he will be 32 in January
Berti is a quad A type of guy. Wont have a starting job in July. Sanchez can be a game changer. No brainer man.

there has never been, and never will be, a "quad A type of guy" with a 101 OPS+ (what he had entering this MLB season) and his kind of positional versatility. that is above average for MI (although currently there is a skew at SS because of so many great ones in their 20s), and his career games started list is amazing:
39 3B, 36 2B, 29 SS, 22 CF, 7 RF, 5 LF
the ability to plug-and-play into all 3 OF slots and 3 INF is remarkably valuable in today's games of limited benches - especially in the NL.
while the OF positional versatility is not as important in Rotisserie, his SBs are much more valuable to us than IRL.
those 31 SB in 545 AB - if he did all of that in 2019, he'd have finished 3rd in the NL in SB that season (behind Acuna and TTurner).
as for "flat out terrible," Sanchez was 1 for 25 w 11 K in his first go-round with the Marlins. he is putting up crazy numbers in the minors, of course.
you make a very good case for Sanchez, but I think there is one to be made for Berti as well.
I just checked, and so far six of the other 10 teams have hitting openings (and that could go up). that includes the 3 teams just ahead of me and three contenders.
frankly, I would love to land on both. so I guess I root for Sanchez to go 0 for 7 with a walk and get pinch-hit for on Wednesday night. it's possible that nobody claims a 1-for-32 MLB hitter in the first round. plus 3 of those other 6 teams have a pitching opening, and Brent Suter's 8 wins are by a LOT the most in league history to still be unowned. have to believe at least one of the 5 teams who need a P makes him their first pick.
the other H who will go early is Vogelbach - 3 HR, .280 AVG in the week since Hiura was demoted (and a week after I waived Vogelbach, sigh).
of course, if Sanchez hits 2 HR, fuggedabout it - he'll be picked for sure.
am very interested in other thoughts on this battle - and if you'd much prefer Vogelbach, as that would be a good sign if I try for both.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

"I guess I root for Sanchez to go 0 for 7 with a walk and get pinch-hit for on Wednesday night."
0 for 4 with 2 K tonight - love it when a game plan starts to play out properly.
I think I'm halfway to acquiring both players

The 10th place team got him. I bid 18. Even if I bid $24 I would not have won the bid.
I hope you all fared better.finished 10th in this 37th yr in 11-team-only NL 5x5

well, I took Berti - then figured one particular owner might take Sanchez. he loves prospects.
second claim was for Berti, so that hunch was right.
and the third was for Sanchez, by the owner I expected.
but then.. the 4th, 5th, 6th, and 8th claims were for.... Sanchez.
my 10th claim for Sanchez - #misseditbythatmuch
now, I correctly surmised that I couldn't get both Berti and Sanchez - but flipping them almost would have worked.
but I badly misjudged the market.
first problem was I misread it as Sanchez being 1 for 25 earlier this season, so if anyone checked his stats they would recoil.
but not only was it last season - we didn't have a season in 2020. none of us noticed this misstep.
so what owners saw was "hitting HR in minors," and in a deep NL-only league, it's enough.
even more damning re my misread is that two owners didn't even have a second choice - if they couldn't get Sanchez, they'd rather be short a man for a week. to me, that's crazy because the first three failed Sanchez claims could have had Vogelbach instead - who is actually, you know, starting and hitting HR.
the main consolation, probably, will be that Sanchez winds up back in the FA pool next spring
