| 2019-04-05 16:00:00 (link to chat) | I am in a very deep league (12 team, 40 man rosters). I have Turner. Do you have any names I should consider given how deep the league is.
(Shawn from Washington) | Losing Turner sucks no matter what, and a replacement guy outside of the top 500 is a drop in production, but here goes. Difo makes sense because I'd assume he wasn't necessarily a roster pick given his ADP outside the top 500, he's filling in for Turner, and he has speed potential. Alen Hanson (ADP 499) may get a super utility look in Toronto now. I'm also a fan of Nick Ahmed, but his ADP was 417 on NFBC, so he's likely rostered. J.P. Crawford (546) in Seattle may show signs of life, and he has a bit of speed and power. (Kevin Jebens) |
| 2019-03-08 16:00:00 (link to chat) | Hello,
Any MI and CI to target in the late rounds? Roto lesgue 12 teams but really deep rosters
(darielsantana from Santo Domingo) | Yuli Gurriel gets overlooked because he doesn't hit for much power, but a high batting average helps in roto, and he plays everywhere. Asdrubal Cabrera is another veteran that doesn't get the respect he deserves. Even deeper, Nick Ahmed has an outside shot at .250/20 given his boost in hard hits on fly balls. Don't forget about Eduardo Nunez, who may get back to .280/10/15 if all goes well. Wilmer Flores could manage to nab a nearly full-time gig, which would mean .280/20 upside. If I need to go even deeper, let me know! (Kevin Jebens) |
| 2018-06-20 19:00:00 (link to chat) | Who should I play between Amed Rosario and Nick Ahmed. I'm stacked everywhere else, but MI is thin. Thanks!
(Tre from Compton) | I'd go with Rosario. (Mike Gianella) |
| 2017-03-09 20:00:00 (link to chat) | I have a couple of questions about SSIM. 1. What assumptions does it make about CFs -- e.g., is a 2.16 OF treated as a +1.4 CF or a +6 generic OF, and how does that mean you should mentally tweak the SSIM number if you plan to use a CF in a corner? 2. How do you interpret it when comparing players with vastly different playing time? I would have assumed it would be much better to have Adeiny Hechavarria for the projected 547 PAs than Nick Ahmed for his projected 228 PAs if that means 300+ PAs of P-AAA. However, SSIM says it's about a wash (7.9 vs. 6.6). Is SSIM really saying the difference between the players is that small?
(edwardarthur from IL) | 1. CF get a 1.4 multiplier boost; real life CFers are probably slightly less valuable to your Scoresheet team if you put them in a corner, but probably not by enough to drastically alter your rankings of them, draft positions for them, or deployment of them; 2) They'll both get compared to the woeful middle infielder AAA, so that's part of why their values are higher in general; TAv' will help you gauge their offensive output on a per PA basis; by that measure, Ahmed is probably ahead of Hechavarria by more than you might expect; overall, though, playing time of two players with similar output offensively and similar defense should be proportional to their SS/SIM; when you see inconsistencies like these, check the underlying components -- often there's a discrepancy in defense that you didn't expect. (Ben Murphy, Ian Lefkowitz and Jared Weiss) |
| 2016-03-07 13:00:00 (link to chat) | With the injury to Jhonny Peralta, what options do the Cardinals have? What do you think of the in-house options, Greg Garcia and Aledmys Diaz? Any SS available out there for trade?
(Zonk from Chi-Town) | Synergy! The best option might be the one floated by Dave Cameron at FanGraphs already: Erick Aybar. With Ozzie Albies already the talk of Braves camp, I could certainly see the Braves making this move, and Aybar feels like a very Cardinals ballplayer. I am not all in on Garcia or Diaz, and Gyorko at shortstop is cringe-inducing. They should make a move. They're not very exciting options, but I think the Cards could give the Mets a call about one of Wilmer Flores, Matt Reynolds, or Dilson Herrera. Or maybe Arizona for Chris Owings or Nick Ahmed. (Bryan Grosnick) |
| 2015-09-24 13:00:00 (link to chat) | Will Brandon Drury push Jake Lamb off 3B in Arizona? Or are the other D-Back options at 2B so weak that he will settle in as the regular there next year, even if his defensive chops aren't the best?
(Paul from DC) | I think the best-case scenario is Lamb at third, Drury at second, but the Diamondbacks have to decide who they want at shortstop before they can decide who they want at second base. Are they willing to live with Nick Ahmed's glove to get his bat in the lineup? If so, do they prefer Owings' glove to Drury's bat? I don't know the answers, but at least they're interesting questions-and I think that's quickly becoming an interesting team. (R.J. Anderson) |
