depends on the keeper rules and how many teams... Torkelson is a top prospect, but if you can only keep a certain amount of players he would likely not even be a keeper...

So losing Degrom would be WAY too much///

Keep 8 but even that is up in the air right now with our commissioner. Yeah I am really stuck on not wanting to lose deGrom

12 team league
H2H points

• Maximum Total Players: 26

do minor leaguers count as keepers??

and with only 36 minor leaguers being rostered at max, everyone should have good minor leaguers... that really diminishes the value of a prospect... even an elite one...


I would want more for deGrom... with that said, it is not that terrible of an offer... Alcantra is pretty solid...

 

[The Q]

Yeah I need to get the rules better.

I also think I’m having a stroke as I’m seeing first round pick and then round 2 or 3 after it

No Minor leaguers do NOT count as part of the Keepers. You can keep 3 Minors AND 8 keepers. But that is still up in the air as the commish wants to keep on changing rules


He said if I twisted his arm he would throw in Mahle and maybe another pick

Sorry @The Q the offer came in like that.. I get a pick in Rounds 1,2,and 3

since its an 8 player keeper, I think it would help your consideration if you considered it a 9,10,11 round pick and you give up a 24,25,26...


another question, is what do you start??

Alcantra and Marquez are both solid pitchers, But Arraez is a weird hitter, he is not great power or speed... But he gets on base very well...

 

[The Q]

What is the rest of the roster.
How many of those guys are you keeping?

Sorry, bud. I've heard of like, 2 of those people. Not into baseball all that much.

 

[femurov]

Is there an echo in here?

 

[redseat]

Not a problem at all. I most likely will decline this trade as I truly want to keep deGrom. Plus it's only week 3 and I am 1-1

Yeah... I have heard of DeGrom, so you should probably hold on to him.

you really are in a tough position... your team really is not that good... But it is way too early to Sell... Personally, I would wait a couple weeks, check if you are a true playoff contender... if you are not then you trade Degrom… But you need to trade him for a kings ransom... otherwise it is not worth it...

this offer given to you is a solid offer, but nowhere near what you should be receiving for Degrom...

Yeah I've been fighting off offers for deGrom ever since I started in the league 4 years ago

Oh my god no

even as I am confused about 2022 first round picks being in round 3 and round 2...

keep 8? Nobody is keeping rookies

 

[TKOSpikes]

I have a league where we keep 8.

At the beginning of 2019, I traded deGrom, Blackmon and a 1st round pick for Acuna.

that is what you do if you trade deGrom. Don’t get pieces for him, turn him into a top five redraft pick.

Of course every week is different, but I’d have Franmil in there at UT. Get Whit in the OF for Nimmo or 2B if eligible.

there must be some arms on waivers you can add, if not a streaming 2-starter every week.

Dickerson seems pretty useless in your bench.
Try and trade Dom Smith and Edman and Yaz for some arms that upgrade on Minor and the Seattle guys.

you’re fine. No such thing as selling in April/May. Waivers is flush I assume.

Sorry, yeah I usually have Franmil in there in Utility and Whit at CF it's just that I had that lineup when games got cancelled and what not.
