[Week]

...and we're off! Already an injured closer and Mex's hitters (Longoria) are not being nice to his pitchers (Tanaka).

Already made 6 moves.  Beating last year's pace

Our league ends after the games on 4/3, right?  1 and done

Who are you and what have you done with Groz?

On the power of the Twinkies and A's - surprising! 

[JJ Lannister]

I need some SP. I've got a closer sitting on my bench ( Watson ) if you need saves help and would be willing to trade some of my OF depth. 

[Week]

I might be interested in flipping a back-end pitcher if there's any interest for you.

[Week]

Huge swing in the lead today -- all thanks to my hitters today and my pitchers yesterday. All is rightful, as it's the logs of Driftwood in the lead.

So was away last week in London and really did not pay attention to my team.  Thought I moved in Cabrera for Reyes, but for some reason it only happened for one day.  Oh well.  Dropped from first to 3rd while I was away.

I had 5 players I really targeted to get on my team Machado, Pineda, Thames, Sanchez and Chapman.  I got 3 of them in Machado, Pineda and Thames.  Hard to believe Machado has been the one that sucks the most so far.  I actually had Thames valued at over $20 and was content to just sit as long as I could before he went on the block.  And Pineda has his 23 K/BB.  He has huge value in our league if he can keep his ERA and WHIP respectable.

Sanchez and Chapman went for too high.  I also had Judge on my radar.  I totally forgot about him and don't even think he was drafted.

Glad to know that I was not going to get Thames. I wanted to get him, but didn't save enough at the time (as I recall) - he's been a beast. Sano/Davis/Thames have all been stalwarts for you. Pitching, you may have the best top 4 (with Pineda pitching like he's in Seattle and not Pinata of last year) and then a big gap before the next 4. Let me know if you want to upgrade from Chen, Wheeler, Gio, or Skaggs.

...and in looking at my team, I noticed that Starling Marte is suspended for 80 games. Awesome.

Damn you @Bronn, you beat me by 8 minutes on Treinen. Ugh.

Got me by 11 on O'Day.  Touche!

Trade? 

Related, did take need a 7th closer? Quite a treasure trove.

[grozeng]

I actually really like Chen and Gio.  Skaggs sucked his first start but has potential.  Wheeler was a flyer.  He was supposed to be good before he got hurt, so I am hoping he is back to where everyone thought he would be.

I just checked my values and I had Thames and Pineda both over $20.  Got Pineda for $7 and Thames for $2

[JJ Lannister]

I tried to start Arrieta and Kennedy today and the app won't let me put them in. Can commish override please? And yes I know Arrieta is getting rocked now. Haha

[Week]

Thames has been unreal.

[Mexal]

I have something like 5-6 blown saves already this season. Absolutely painful destruction of my ratios.

Just saw this.  Sorry man - as far as I can tell, won't let me go back and edit rosters for a previous day.

[Bronn Stone]

Something went wrong with my editing my bid for Kluber on my tablet.  My bid was only $85, so it would have lost.  Just want Week to know he was right to go all in.

I was debating, but ultimately seemed like one of the few times I'd really want to dive in on waivers. My pitching has been slowly bleeding ... (well, started that way considering I drafted Price).

[Bronn Stone]

I'd be livid had you not bid.  Can't believe I didn't triple-check it.
