Yeah, I don't see Verlander having more durability issues than anyone ten years younger. The guy is a stud with at least one more year of studliness in...

[Sour Masher]

The Mets are cursed. Nimmo is now hurt. At this rate, expect Escobar to be hurt within the week. Seriously, I think Baty will get a chance at some point,...

[Sour Masher]

I think the very best case for Hendriks is a return around the AS break. I am rooting for him, but the treatment will take a lot out of him and it will...

[Sour Masher]

A Mets fan may feel that way, but not the fans watching WBC. I think it is a lot of fun and is good for baseball on the whole. Players get hurt all the...

[Sour Masher]

I agree for the vast majority of closers. I almost never pay up for closers and saves are not super hard to find cheap, if you can anticipate who loses...

[Sour Masher]

Heartbreaking. The best closer in the game may be out for the year....I know celebrations are fun to watch, but nothing is more brutal than a player getting...

[Sour Masher]

The reports say there is no damage to the ucl, but it still isn't good. I imagine they take it real slow with him to make sure he is 100% before he comes...

[Sour Masher]

The uncertainty and some of the doom and gloom of early reporting represent a buying opportunity to me. I can't imagine he is delayed more than a month...

[Sour Masher]

It always amazes me how adverse folks are here to extending very good or even great players. I will always regret giving Verlander away post TJ surgery....

[Sour Masher]

I ended up trading for more picks....not sure if I should have, but I liked a lot of guys in this draft. Here is who I ended up with:

Gavin...

[Sour Masher]

Brutal. He added speed to his swing and seemed poised for a break out....

[Sour Masher]

Yeah, Susana and Quero were great late grabs. I assume Quero lasted that long because of an anti-catcher bias in your league (I have the same bias), but...

[Sour Masher]

I like your picks. Getting Barger that late is shocking. I'd have flipped Yasser and Addison as picks, but it worked out cuz you got them both anyway...

[Sour Masher]

Congrats! I'm still 20 years off myself, but I certainly think about that day from time to time. The freedom must feel great! ITC offers great advice--stay...

[Sour Masher]

Also, if your hit rate on sleepers is anything close to 50%, mind sharing who your sleepers are this year Ken . I wouldn't mind knowing who you like...

[Sour Masher]

I concede Gore, at this point, is not a good keeper option at $10. Heck, he might not even make the starting rotation. Implied in my reply was an assumption...

[Sour Masher]

It is not a bad decision if 1. You believe he will out earn $10, and 2. You are fairly certain his auction price will exceed $10 by at least a few bucks....

[Sour Masher]

Maybe, but with 15 keepers and a $280 cap in a 12 team NL only set up, Gore could conceivably exceed $10, if a couple of guys believe in him. Of course,...

[Sour Masher]

Good points. Thanks. Although, I do wonder if Parada does not end up off catcher. As just a hitter at another position, I like him as a top 10 guy, but...

[Sour Masher]

Gracias. I have them the same way, except I was thinking of putting Barger above O'Hoppe based on how much love he got from Fangraphs. I like O'Hoppe,...
