Should I do this trade?

10 starts a week.... No limit on RP

Yeah but how many actual pitchers do you start per week?

 

[redseat]

Yeah well... pretty easy drops regardless.

Grilli is more I would think

 

[redseat]

Um.... Good question... I know I get 9 to 10 starts each week

 

[redseat]

Michael Sanders of Texas worth a shot too?

 

[TKOSpikes]

Yeah.... pick up Odubel for Grilli easily. Assuming nobody better is out there.

haha, crap yes!

 

[redseat]

Toronto you mean?

...absolutely!

Just put in a waiver claim on him... Noon tomorrow I should know (I am dropping Grilli)... Let's see if I get him

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'd rather Saunders over Odubel...

 

[redseat]

I'd rather Saunders over Odubel...

Just put in the claim.... I bid $2

 

[redseat]

Damnit.... They switched it on me and I won't know if I got Saunders until Noon tomorrow

 

[redseat]

AS @TKOSpikes mentioned - Trea Turner is going to be called up shortly.... He worth a shot over Phillips (since Gordon is out, moron!)

 

[redseat]

Got Saunders

Lost out on Chatwood by $2

 

[redseat]

Currently 3-2 now

Here's a dealio that I've vacillating on...

I can start two of the following (I've included fantasy points per start based on this league's scoring):

Clayton Kershaw - (21.3 FP/GS) - @ TOR
Bartolo Colon - (12.6 FP/GS) - Vs ATL, @ SDP
Chris Tillman - (12.3 FP/GS) - Vs NYY, Vs OAK

Hard to bench Kershaw, but he's got one start and it's against TOR, although TOR's offense has been pretty average so far.

Colon has two starts against the two worst offenses in baseball (measured by OPS), but his average points per start doubled is only four points more than Kershaw's average for one.

Tillman has two starts; one against the Yankees who've sucked ass at the dish, and one against OAK, who've been slightly below average. His FP/GS doubled is also about four points more than Kershaw's single.

I guess I'm leaning Kershaw and Colon. What do you fuckers think?

I don't care if those 2 outperform Kershaw this week, you HAVE to start him always...

I agree with Colon over Tillman

Colon has nice matchups but they actually have hit him well recently. I'd stay away.

Kershaw and flip a coin between Colon and Tillman.... Braves are due for an offensive explosion as are the Padres, Yankees are in a tail spin and who knows about Oakland... Crap shoot really imho

Following up. . .

Here's what the three did:

Kershaw - 24.5
Colon - 43
Tillman - 44

I started Kershaw and Colon. In hindsight, I should have started Colon and Tillman.

Had a great week anyway - Had seven pitcher starts and won five of them. Averaged 17.7 FP/GS from my pitchers. Sweet.

An interesting aside:

One league I'm in has 11 teams. Instead of a bye week, we opted that one team a week would face the league average score, so total points scored divided by 11.

As of this morning, the league average team is 4-0 and in sole position of first place. . .

Update on this fuckin anomaly:

The league average team is now 5-0, still in 1st. . . I thought for sure this would be the week it would lose because it faced the #2 overall scoring team, but no, it beat them too.

The teams it's beaten have the following records:

1-4
2-3
4-1
1-4
3-2
Total - 11-14

It's beaten two out of the top four scoring teams in our league. Fuckin nuts.

So who else was in your staff, btw?

Anyway, the only place I even think about benching Clay is in Colorado.... and probably would still start him.

We may define "struggle" differently.
