Misc. Fantasy Baseball Questions

[uncfan103]

So, we have a lot of posters here who are very knowledgeable and I like hearing what they have to say so I thought I'd make a thread just for random questions to see sort of what the board thought on different topics. Hopefully during the year we can get some help on random questions.

I'm going to start by asking who you guys prefer to stash on the bench between Joe Panik and Micah Johnson?

Also, Maikel Franko or Odubel Herrera?

Kendall Graveman has to be have more value than Marco Gonzalez now, right?

 

[TKOSpikes]

Johnson.
Herrera
Yes.



There is a "random fantasy baseball thoughts" thread though.

Haha I saw, I even had a question answered in there. I just felt intrusive asking questions in a thread for thoughts lol so I thought this was a good idea. But, I don't mind using the other thread for questions as well.

Appreciate the input.

 

[TKOSpikes]

No worries. Just didn't know if you knew, that's all. I suppose thoughts and questions are two different things.

Alright, here's one for you guys: Keeper, and you can only keep one - Arismendy Alcantara or Marcus Semien, who do you keep?

 

[Chef99]

Here's another one: Anyone buying into Moose, the Babe Ruth of spring training? I just can't do it...burned too many times.

Also, my opinion on the first question:

Micah Johnson
Maikel Franco (can't resist that power potential)
Graveman - I'm all-in, baby.

These are more geared toward keepers...for this year only, I'd probably go Herrera.

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'm a Semien guy. And no, I'm done believing in Moose.

 

[Chef99]

But he looks so goooood!!!

 

[Microwahevo]

I'm a homer so I'm an Alcantara guy. Looks like he's already gonna play ahead of Baez to start the year. And if he continues to swing better, he'll stay there.

That is where I'm leaning as well, mainly because I wanna roll the dice on the HR/SB potential. And if he gets SS eligibility as well, it's all good. Semien, on the other hand...solid potential, SS/2B/3B eligibility. I'm just not quite sold on him yet.

 

[TKOSpikes]

They're close. Semien is pretty much entrenched as the SS though. Alcantara still has LaStella and Olt to deal with, not to mention Bryant. Then if Baez comes back???? I suppose there is LF still, and if he hits, they'll find a place for him. Potato, potahto I guess.

That's the rub. I'm banking on Maddon using Alcantara as a 2014 Josh Harrison kinda guy. I think that's a pretty good bet, but who knows?

In a keeper H2H points league who would you stash at the back of your bench Archie Bradley or Baez?

 

[TKOSpikes]

Baez

 

[Chef99]

Baez

That's my boy!

 

[TKOSpikes]

Who would you add out of these 2-start Mets?

Colon (@Teheran, Alvarez)
Gee (@Cahill, Cosart)

Who do you want between, Iglesias and Everth Cabrera? Without over reacting to his two steals, I'm thinking about making the swap (I own Cabrera) for the long term, if I can get him as my second claim

If so, should I claim Iglesias before the 2-starter?

I traded for Moose in one of my leagues, he still is under 26 yr old but he was cheap and this is the year he needs to pull it together. Alex Gordon did it, the price was right. My contract league, no he isn't worth the gamble at the price he will bring.

I just picked him up in MBBRL.

I have officially been suckered again.

 

[Chef99]

Whoof, Graveman got clobbered. Whatta you, tryin' to dig your own Grave, Man?

 

[Chef99]

Ok gang, here's one: Would you drop Shoemaker for Edinson Volquez, DeSclafani, or Drew Hutchison? If so, which one? 12 team H2H non-keeper.

Shoemaker is beginning to look like fluke city to me, and I'm leaning toward DeSclafani...but Volquez looks so comfortable in KC...I love Hutch, but this year might have a lot of growing pains for him.
