***Official A-League Fantasy Baseball Keeper Thread II***

[propreffered7]

So you think their centerpiece is bound for TJ but you think the Phillies paid too much

Very interesting conclusion based on expectations lol

Alfaro was a top prospect in his own right. A swap, considering alfaros control and being cheaper isnt that far off imo

The tj thing is a personal opinion. But honestly sixto is prob my favorite pitching prospect in mlb. I just dont trust that hes not gonna get hurt.

And like i said, add more

I dont think its light at all

The equivalent for the braves imo, is kyle wright or anderson + contreras (actually think alfaro might be rated a lil higher) + more

Before Jeter took over the Marlins they had:

Giancarlo Stanton
Marcell Ozuna
Christian Yelich
JT Realmuto

A year and a half after he took over they have none of those guys and nothing to show for it lol.

Dee Gordon too (though he was trash last year)

[TheBateman]

lol see you're still saalty you traded him. Definitely cost you the playoffs and maybe the Championship.

All his under lying advanced stats support what he did.

yelich helped you win the battle but it cost you the war
you fell for my trap- yelich was just a pawn. I decided to forego short term gratification and win multiple championships on the back of cy flaherty

You got me, checkmate.

Yeah forgot about him. He had some significant value when they traded him.

I want him to take Stanton back

[SoutheastBeast1]

Marlins didn’t get nothing

They got cash to line their pockets; those guys cost money bro

[saaltydog]

I think Stanton is in for a huge year. Now that he's adjusted to the Yankees and AL.

Jeets gotta get a return on his investment. Buying a team ain't cheap boyo.

I need cliffs on the N/A bullchit. I still get to keep Jimenez and then if approved we will draft our second?

That's it brotha. You keep Jimenez and then draft a second rookie keeper.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Wait a second, Mariners and Athletics start the season on March 20th in Japan?

What the f*ck?

Guess we need to talk about if it’s worth it to draft before those dates or just cut out in those.

What’s the preference here? Some of you will be losing some games by deferring if you have players on these teams


Legit had no idea that was going on so early.

strikes out too much. he's just a right handed mo vaughn

I'd hate for teams to lose stats. I mean a couple more RBIS/Runs/Etc could mean the difference in 3-4 extra wins. Seasons have come down to less than that.

Couldn't imagine the crying if krazy is the one who misses out because of lost stats.

I'd prefer to draft early. When did we draft last year? I feel like we drafted somewhat early.

[SoutheastBeast1]

Will Harper, Machado, and Kimbrel even be signed?

Brb drafting a free agent



But yeah I’m conflicted cause I really would like a full season. This puts our draft on like the 16th or 17th FYI

I’ll remake the doodle poll with real start times a couple weeks out

[saaltydog]

Last year we drafted on March 23rd. If we do it on or around March 17th it's only five days earlier than last year.

[propreffered7]

My job is on call, so thats why you dont see me do that doodle chit.

I know those weeks are busy, so i have a vague idea of whats going on, just not exact

[SpeedDemon9]

March 17th in the evening will work for me for draft. I’ve been working 13 and 1 at work.

This real life?

A healthy Sixto Sanchez is the 2nd best right handed pitching prospect in baseball. That is the easiest 100 mph motion i have ever seen, and he throws it for strikes. Alfaro had a BABIP approaching .400 last year. Adjust his batting line and you are looking at a sub Mendoza line. He has been outstanding defensively. Which is funny because that seemed to be the knock. Straight up though, Alfaro can't hit. He has big power, and a big arm. But I don't think he will ever hit enough to make himself anything other than a replacement level catcher.

Realmuto is in his own echelon above any catcher in value, but he still does not frame well. I think he far and away will be the best catcher in baseball the next 2 years with probably the value of 35 million dollars a season because of his positional scarcity. It is tough to swallow seeing Sanchez go.

No team from the NL can compete with the elite of the AL still.

have we replaced wins with quality starts yet? This coming from the guy whose only pitching keeper can't stay healthy

Waiting for you to have a winning season in A League first

Sadly we may never get to make the switch

I like the idea, but like Bacon said I don’t think it will pass.

New thread who dis

Looks like you survived the mass suicide out in Zona after Goldschmidt was dealt

Did Steeze make it out alive? Really not anything to live for our there in the sports world anymore so wouldn’t blame him.

Just barely. I'm scarred for life now though.

I'll work on putting together a caravan to look for Steeze in the ruined wasteland out here.

Pro you voting on adding another rookie keeper?

I think we finally came to an agreement on how to handle it. We are planning to hold two rookie drafts. The first one is same as always. You can participate in the draft or keeper a rookie from your team. All rookies owned will be ineligible

The second draft all rookies that weren't kept or drafted in the first one will be dumped into a player pool, regardless if they are on someone's team or not. Everyone will have to make a pick in that draft for their second rookie keeper slot.

So far 7 have voted yes 1 has voted no.
