detroitlions72003 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 My best bat is Manny Machado and I hope he gets traded to the Brewers My best pitcher is Verlander and I hope he pitches like he pitched before he faced the Tigers The fact I am 11-3 is shocking to me because my team really isn't that good. However the American league is dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwiftPride Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I’m having this debate in another forum. Would you rather have JoRam or Trout moving forward? Everything about JoRams stats indicates real and sustainable improvements. A 35/35 guy with positional value is quite the have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisblack Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 There is still a lot of season left, but I'm going to have some interesting choices when it comes time to select keepers. I would say I only have two locked in Bregman and Benintendi. Then I have to pick 3 from this group. Acuna - Will likely be kept, as I think he will be a very special player in a year or two. He has been off to a bit of a slow start, but the injury didn't help. Ohtani - He is a very unique player who is fun to own, but the elbow is concerning especially since there really hasn't been much news and I value him more for the pitching. Hoskins - The second half will be a big test for him. If he can bring his average up a bit and end up with 30+ homers I will have a hard time letting him go. Devers - I really like this kid and value him higher than most, but I think he needs to show a little more in the 2nd half. If Bregman can keep his SS eligibility that will be more incentive to make Devers a keeper. Bauer - It seemed like it took him a long time to figure things out, but now he is finally solidified as the top 10 SP that everyone thought he could be. He isn't as exciting as some of my young bats, but it would be hard not to keep him. Rendon - One of the most underrated players out there. His trouble with injuries early in his career seemed to sour many people on him, but he has put up consistently good number over the past couple years. He is a great emergency 5th keeper if something bad happens, but with Bregman and Devers at 3B I doubt I will keep him if everything goes to plan. Overall I love my young core of players and am excited to see them grow more in the second half. Just for fun who would you guys keep on my team if you had to choose right now?

nagahide13 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I'd keep Bregman, Benintendi, Acuna, Hoskins and Ohtani. Then I'd try to trade Ohtani with top 10 player value. I also wouldn't listen to me about anything if I were you. I consistently like my keepers more than yours, but you're high in the running every year and have won more championships than me.

nagahide13 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Id rather have Trout. He's consistently the best baseball player of all time. Jose Ramirez is streakier. I trust Trout more. That being said, I was trying to trade for Jose Ramirez pretty aggressively during his extended slump to start the season. Detfan didn't even come close to biting.

I made Ohtani available a couple weeks ago and didn't get a single PM. (he is still available) I think we both have one championship, right? I'm consistently jealous of your keepers every year haha, but I think this will possibly be the first year that I love all my keepers whoever they may be.

SwiftPride Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Ummmm yaaaa so apparently Josh Hader is pretty racist and homophobic. Some tweets came out that he sent a few years ago and he wasn’t that apologetic about them. I would think he sees some type of consequence but I would not want to be in that Brewer locker room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitlions72003 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Keepers from 17' Miguel Cabrera JD Martinez Billy Hamilton Justin Verlander Zack Greinke Likely Keepers for 18' Wilson Contreras Manny Machado Nick Castellanos Lorenzo Cain Justin Verlander Not sure how to feel about this.

Lions017 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 If anyone has a keeper-level player that they’re interested in trading because they have too many, let me know. I have some extra picks next year that I may be willing to trade. I’m also willing to trade Charlie Blackmon or Jose Aubreu to someone that wants to win now.

ManeLine Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 My keepers right now: Max Scherzer Gerrit Cole Jose Berrios Lance McCullers or Walker Buehler Robinson Cano or Miguel Sano - whoever gets their stuff together. Both major disappointments this year. As you can see, I need keeper level bats so if anyone is looking to move one, let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
