not saying there definitely will be one, just that there is something in the works that may or may not end up including him

I'm looking forward to seeing the Heyward trade. Have to figure Syndicate is in play again...for Ellsbury?
-
Plus no one is mentioning Dirks, who was basically on a Reddick-like points pace before getting hurt. I think it's a useful deal for both sides.

Haren could be dominant next year, I think he's just working through some dead arm or something this year, and I can't afford to ride it out this year.

you made a good deal - you traded to waiver wire guys over performing and a batting practice tee for Roy freakin Halladay

And again, was looking to move those players for more established point production, and trust me, I was not swimming in offers that knocked my socks off.

But he derives a lot of his point production from the HR, and looking at his frame, his K rate, and his ballpark, I just don't see 35 HR power there. I could be wrong.
Eckfords ⚾ on

But right now he is on pace for a shade over 1,000 points....and 38 HR. So if you think he will hit 38(!) HR this year, then you have a 1,000 point player. If you don't, then you have a 800 or 900 point player. Which is still pretty valuable.

Listen, I love Reddick. I turned down some great offers for him, probably better offers than the one I just accepted.

just wanted to put it out in the open that there is a chance I deal Heyward today (although by the time you read this it may already be too late). If he hasn't been moved go ahead and put an offer in.

I don't really view Halladay as a three-month rental, either. If he comes back strong I am absolutey bringing him back next year. It's not like he's 38 years old.

a) Haren sucks. b) I'd be willing to bet that neither McD nor Reddick scores 1,000 points this year.

Kemp, Ellsbury, Moustakas, Kimbrel, Kennedy, Myers, Goldschmidt, Skaggs, McDonald, Reddick a great core to build around for 2013 at just over 25% of the budget.
-
Jed, even though you added Halladay, and that scares me for the 2nd half, still quite shocked you traded two 1,000+ pt players for $2 each. That was a huge pickup for Syndicate. And then he got Haren.
-
I'll trade you Miley for Cueto.
Eckfords ⚾ on

Looking at the stats, Miley and Cueto are almost the same pitcher this year. Cueto's only 9 months older, too, which is surprising.
-
Miley looks like he could have a better K rate than Cueto, but much smaller sample, obviously.

i.e. J. Cueto
-
Half of me thinks he'll give up 4 HR in his next start and that will be that, half of me thinks he is *the* model for ottoneu success, i.e. low BB and low HR.

I just offered Miley to someone in a trade and almost cried when it posted. Could I have Fister 1.0 AND 2.0 on my roster right now??

That Wade Miley pickup looking better and better...still surprised only two teams were in the mix.
-
Somehow he's survived a 5.75% H/FB ratio the last two seasons...I hope it continues
-
Just watch out for those home starts. How he survives in that park throwing belt-high fastballs 4 out of every 5 pitches....

I have never owned Cueto in any league ever I don't think. Really looking forward to carrying him as his xFIP regression comes after almost two years of defying gravity.
-
Wouldn't go that far, with two starts yesterday I now have a massive lead in IP which will get closed sooner or later.

Yeah, I'm running low on chips to trade, too. And WAR is running away with the title...

I'd love to add EE, really have nothing left to trade though

but i cant even get legit interest in EE and hes top 10...sorry for the extra post

re: Reddick...he may be top 20 now but most dont think he can maintain that

Trade him now Enrico before his value plummets.

guess I was due for the -25 pt pitching performance... and Lance Lynn was definitely due for it as well. Should've left him on my bench, almost did.

War, you were shooting for CC if I remember correctly. You're exactly right - they are both valuable, but I don't see them maintaining that production and wasn't going to buy high and give up my ace.

Reddick is top 20 overall at this moment.

i dont think Reddick will ever be top 20 overall especially in Oakland...top 20 OF most likely for sure
-
But the market is what it is. I got Halladay out of them, who is definitely not without risk, but was disappointed that I couldn't get more for them, as productive as they'v been.

I guess people were skeptical of those two guys being for real long-term.

What was I asking, I don't even remember. I mean Reddick is $2 and a top-20 OVERALL player. I'd say that demands a high ask.

In totally unrelated news, this Eduardo Nunez injury has been one of the most baffling things about my roster. From what I can tell, he is in the minors with a sore thumb. And he hasn't played a game or had a player update in roughly 9 weeks.

Reddick's 68% K rate is a bit of a flag, but how can you go wrong at $4 next year.

FWIW, I couldn't believe how little interest there was in Reddick/McDonald. I know they were both waiver pickups, but wow. Rebuilding or not rebuilding, how are those players not useful?
