Darvish in the 7th round might just be your downfall... you don't have much power in your lineup thanks to drafting leonys martin, pagan and Span... I get this is a 20 team league, so all teams will be going deep for talent, but I don't think you did a great job... When you know you are going to be weak someplace, I like to make sure to be strong elsewhere, and it seems like your only strong with Speed, and that seems limited too...
Looking at your scoring, I dislike your team more... You have 3 Power categories(compared to the normal 2), you needed to take risks on power, not risks on speed... I just don't see enough category strengths...
Doubt he'll ever be an ace, but a solid 3 and good back end fantasy guy. I'd probably do that deal, since I don't see Garcia being a monster or anything.
Seems like a fair offer. I like Garcia, but I like the other two as well, especially Taylor if you don't mind waiting for him to finally get a steady gig.
Would you take Samardzija and Belt for (my) Tanaka and Michael Taylor. 20 team H2H (8 player keeper) 4 OF, 1 UTIL spots. Scoring cats – AVG, R, SB, BB, HR, RBI, TB / ERA, WHIP, SV, HD, K, W, QS. Belt would just slot into my UTIL spot. My current OF are L. Martin, Pagan, Marisnick, Span, rotate Pillar and Cron (only has 1B eligibility) at my UTIL spot.
I don't like Belt, but I like Samardzija. Only because I'm scared of Tanaka long term. After his last start, I think his price went up a little. I would use that to try and up Belt.
