I think it's too rich for my blood, but I wanted to get some people's thoughts on this deal that was just proposed to me. It's a 12 team NL-Only, 5x5, 25-man roster, $280 cap league (the extra two spots are an extra pitcher and an extra UT), OBP instead of AVG.
I have Strasburg at $18, entering his final season. I was just offered Stanton at $20 through 2015 and A.J. Ramos at $2 (he would be due an extension at the end of 2014) for Strasburg (again, $18, expiring end of this year) and Rex Brothers at $5 (due extension at the end of 2014).
Strasburg is Strasburg obviously and I know Stanton had a down year last year. Not sure what the closer situation in Colorado is right now - I'm guessing Hawkins and Brothers split time for now, with Brothers ultimately becoming the closer by mid-season, which is making me think this is a but too expensive, but I wanted to get everyone else's take.
Rest of my definite keepers are: Buster Posey, Russell Martin, Gerardo Parra, Hunter Pence, Jeff Samardzija, Tyler Clippard, Aroldis Chapman. MLEs of Noah Syndergaard, Joc Pederson and Andrew Heaney.
Several maybes on my current roster depending on how roles shake out, but guys like Wilmer Flores, Mike Dunn, Kevin Siegrist, Ryan Sweeney, Derek Dietrich, Alexi Amarista, Donnie Murphy. Nothing overly significant that would change whether or not I would take the deal.
So, what say you? Should I trust my instinct here, or should I be clicking accept?
