What do you guys think?

Honestly, given those keepers, you have no chance to contend this year. Your draft is solid for today, but is unlikely to help you that much long term since most of your picks were made with an eye on today's production.

If I inherited a team that looked like that, I would be drafting prospects and trying to make my squad competitive in 2-3 years. You have a couple, but not enough.

This league is all about pitching. Gotta max out your starts and load up on Sunday starters. The waiver wire is KEY. Glad to have you with us Johnny!

 

[TREFF]

Well.. It's not gawd awful, but you got you work cut out for you no doubts. (Probably the main reason I dislike dynasty/keeper leagues, generally when you lose an owner his/her team is utter crap).

As Tlance said, the future is key cuz you'd need some awesome seasons from me than a few players to have a realistic shot.
Cargo and Posey might be better off being used as trade bait to go after some of those protects/Draft picks.

Good luck!

Yeah I figured I had a lot of work to get done with this team, give me a few weeks, i'll update this thread with all the trades I make.

Which is why I took Cain with my first pick instead of upgrade Ike Glad to be on board!

I'm gonna make some deals, use some of my big names to get some young stars. Thanks!

Drafting Rendon, Yelich, Miller and d'Arnaud is a nice start.

Yeah I thought so as well.

 

[Microwahevo]

Yeah I thought so as well.

I think you're gonna be just fine Johnny. U seem to know what it doing and that's the first step. It may take a bit to build ur team where u want it, but being only a 12-keeper, some young prospects will help build that quickly.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Am I seeing that right? Ike Davis is your only 1B??

If i'm not mistaken, Butler may be able to play 1B, but not 100% on that, plus i'll be making moves.

 

[Chef99]

How's yer wire lookin' at 1B?

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

How's yer wire lookin' at 1B?

Been trying to look right now while at work, but it's gotten super busy -___-

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Looks like the top available are..

James Loney
Justin Morneau
Yonder Alonso
Mitch Moreland
Garrett Jones

 

[Chef99]

My gut says Yonder.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Who should I drop?

 

[Chef99]

Good question. I'm not a big Plouffe fan, but I really don't think you need Peavy if you have a bench spot open.

Don't go by my gut reaction, though. Loney might have another good year in him. Or Morneau might be a safe choice.

Damn you, Chef! I'm gonna see what I can get on the trade market first before making a decision.

 

[broncosmitty]

I was torn between keeping Fister or keeping Cain. The move to the NL East sealed the deal for me on Dougie..... And now his arm is "sore". Figures. I think you can compete for a playoff spot no problem Johnny. Couple teams will have to cut solid (not great, but solid) offensive guys for pitching soon enough.

Mitch Moreland is legendary in this league. LEGENDARY!!! (I don't miss the owner that made him legendary one bit.)

Yeah I really like my chances. Drafting Cain 1st overall, for me, was a no-brainer. Was gonna go with A-Gon to take Ike's place, but i'm one of those Met fans who still believes in Ike and his potential

Is that sarcasm? Did the other owner overate/overvalue him or something? haha
