Baseball Redraft League Draft and Discussion Thread

[SoxFanForsyth]

Sorry guys. It's harder to be married than it is to be a 16 year old junior in high school, RSFFL. So eat it.

 

Joel Zumaya, RP, $915,000

[italstallianion]

Isn't he still injured?

 

Anyway RSFFL wants Peter Moylan RP

[SoxFanForsyth]

No he's expected to be ready for Spring Training.

[italstallianion]

Ok, fair enough, I just wanted to make sure that you weren't f***** yourself. Anyway Dipre is up. He isn't on facebook now but I have a feeling that I'll get his pick in the near future. If not Exman (and Ytrb) can send me their picks and I'll make them all in the morning.

[EXman369]

ill send u my first pick italy and if u can make it tonight make it tonight but if not ill make it in the morning. I get up at 8 so ill prolly be able to make it before you

[EXman369]

italy u get them?

[italstallianion]

Yep, you're good.

[italstallianion]

It looks like Dipre went to bed early. Anyway either he'll make his pick tomorrow morning or he'll be on facebook tomorrow and I'll get his pick from him. I also have Exman's pick.

[Dipre]

Bobby Parnell, 400K

 

A big arm with great stuff, easily overlooked because he's, well, a Met, he strikes people out and induces groundballs with solid control.

[EXman369]

Jason Frasor-2.65 million

[italstallianion]

Ytrb wants Huston Street 7.2 million

 

Not sure what he's going to do with his other closer, but he's got 2 good ones. Divinity is up.

[Divinity]

Hisanori Takahashi RP - 1m

[italstallianion]

Will is up. I don't think he's online though.

[italstallianion]

Cmon Will. Although Divinity signed off without sending me his picks anyway.

[italstallianion]

I bet that Forsyth is happy that Garza is headed to the Cubs, because now Hellickson should get his shot.

[SoxFanForsyth]

Damn skippy!

 

Hellickson was always going to get his shot, though. Niemman would be in the bullpen if Garza didn't get traded, but Garza was on the block all winter.

 

I love that it finally happened though.

[Will617]

Wilton Lopez, RP, Astros, $400,000

 

Trying to decide between two players for the second pick.

[italstallianion]

Divinity isn't online right now so you have some time to make your other pick.

[Will617]

Neil Walker, 2B (Bench), Pirates, $400,000

[italstallianion]

Divinity is up again.

[Will617]

From what I'm reading, the Cubs' package for Garza is 6 for 3? Wtf? Garza is alright, but not that good. Unless all of the Cubs' prospects are crap, there should be no reason that they pull the trigger on this one. After all, Josh Willingham was dealt for a long-shot reliever and a mediocre outfield prospect.

[italstallianion]

I'm sure that Keeper will enlighten us with respect to some of the players returning from the Cubs. I didn't see any "blue chip" prospects in there, but I'm sure we'll find out more later.

[italstallianion]

Cmon Divinity. I got Ytrb's pick so we can get the ball rolling when you come back online.

[Keeper]

I'll tell you what I know. Chris Archer was the Cubs' best pitching prospect and considered their top prospect overall by Baseball America. They got Archer from the Guardians when they dealt DeRosa.

 

Hak-Ju Lee was also one of their top prospects. There was some talk that he was the shortstop of the future and that Starlin Castro would be moved to second. Guess that won't happen.

 

Brandon Guyer, an outfielder who was another top prospect. I don't know anything about Robinson Chirinos other than the fact that he's a catcher. Sam Fuld is a great defensive outfielder. He can make some exciting plays. No power to speak of, but he has pretty good plate discipline and profiles as a 4th or 5th outfielder.

 

Had the Cubs included Brett Jackson in the deal, they would have given up too much, IMO. As it is, they gave up a lot. But then again, their farm system rarely produces any noteworthy players.

[italstallianion]

Did Divinity go back to sleep?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Ital how many picks did I send you?

[italstallianion]

You sent me 3, but you took one of them and I think Exman took the 2nd one on your list. And they were all the same position.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

I'm going to send you some more a little later. Going to be playing baseball today and see if I can get warmed up before tryouts.

[italstallianion]

I got WB's pick. Phew.

[Divinity]

Sorry I'm back now, pick incoming.
