What's better, having 8 potential keepers for 8 spots or having 9 potential keepers for 8 spots? See
Heck the Puig owner would probably have jumped at giving you a $6 Puig for 2015 in return for say Freeman and Duffy and Kris Bryant!"I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Mith, you do get you are being a dick to madducks in a public forum, right? Reasons to keep a dead contract could be a new thread. You keep a dead contract rather than trade for a keeper because you care about your spot in the standings, or you wisely see needing your current 9 keepers for 8 keeper spots because you know it is probable there will be injury or other issue by next freeze deadline, or you would rather not deal with a dick.

I do not understand your reasoning for keeping this dead contract over a decent keeper? Would you mind enlightening me? Maybe I am missing something. I would really like to work with you and see if we can make a deal that would work for both of us.

I have to admit, I laughed out loud at your final reason.

Trout has been pretty fucking weak for two months."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Is Trout as buy "low" as he's ever going to get? I'm in the hunt for a title, could deal two very good OF keepers -- Brantley and Dickerson (would be 21 & 22nd rounders next year, respectively, so very good value) -- to an out-of-contention team for Trout. OF/DH for stretch run would then be Trout, Stanton, Bautista, B.Hamilton vs. Stanton, Brantley, Bautista, B.Hamilton...have been pretty successfully rotating Dickerson, LaRoche, J.Dyson (mostly for SBs) at DH for past couple months.
Worth a shot?12-team mixed keeper. 6x6 (OBP, QS the extra categories).

Originally posted by Msaint View PostNo prices, it's a draft...and we can only keep guys drafted 10th round and lower (10th-22nd rounds), meaning first rounder Trout can NOT be kept but all waiver wire additions -- in this case Brantley and Dickerson -- are automatically last round keepers, so Brantley and Dickerson would be this guy's last two picks next year (rounds 21 and 22). It's the non-auction version of a dump trade, basically, wherein I lose two great keepers for a stud I can't keep and a shot at a title."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

Originally posted by Mithrandir View PostI wouldn't do it. Brantley looks like the real deal and his stats may not be that much less than Trouts' ROS. And Dickerson had some nice upside too. Trout looks lost..
Makes me wonder if he's hurt.I'm just here for the baseball.

Originally posted by chancellor View PostI agree. Trout's K rate is huge - he's K'ing once almost every 3 ABs in July and August. Worse yet, for fantasy purposes, he's not even trying to steal bases - just 3 attempts in almost 7 weeks.

He is just bad the last month. Hitting around .200."I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."
