Interesting Trade Offer

smk1363 — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 22:49:58 -0000

I received a very interesting offer in my 20 team dynasty league today.

I would get: Buster Posey & Brian Matusz

I would give: Cameron Maybin & Andrew Lambo

I don't really have a long term catcher (I have Jesus Flores & Lou Marson), so Posey would be huge there. But at the same time, I don't really have a great CF long term option either (I have Pie, Coco Crisp, and Mike Stanton).

smk1363 — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 03:11:17 -0000

please answer

I've recently picked up Daryl Jones, and need to drop someone to keep my minor league system at 15 players.

My MiLB roster is:

C- Lou Marson
1B - Logan Morrison, Sean Doolittle
3B - Pedro Alvarez
SS - Carlos Triunfel
OF - Mike Burgess, Mike Saunders, Mike Stanton, Andrew Lambo

SP - Trevor Cahill, Tim Alderson, Jhoulys Chacin, Derek Holland, Cole Rohrbough, Daryl Thompson

Now, the 5 guys I'm actually debating between are Marson, Doolittle, Lambo, Rohrbough, and Thompson.

Which OF has a better career?

smk1363 — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:09:41 -0000

Carlos Gonzalez or Cameron Maybin?

I had this discussion with a friend recently:
Who will have a better MLB career?

Carlos Gonzalez or Cameron Maybin

Obviously Maybin has more upside, but he's struggled most of the season with a ton of K's and a complete lack of plate discipline. Gonzalez has less power and less speed, but is already "holding his own" so to speak at the MLB level.

Maybin (21 years old) in 333 AA AB's: .273, 13 HR, 42 RBI, 49/104 BB/K, 18 SB, .830 OPS

Gonzalez (22 years old) in 219 MLB AB's: .274, 3 HR, 19 RBI, 12/52 BB/K, 3 SB, .723 OPS

Carlos Triunfel

smk1363 — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 22:51:50 -0000

Has he turned the corner?

Triunfel really showing a lot more to his game this year than in the past...he's got 16 SB's this year in 265 AB's as opposed to his 7 SB's last year in 371 total AB's.

His stats vs. LHP are crazy too: .343 avg, .397 obp, .522 slg, .920 ops

After an awful June, he's been ON FIRE in July: .341 avg, .396 obp, .523 slg, .919 ops

He's really looking like he's turning the corner, with 2 HR and 3 SB in his past 10 games while batting .333

What does everyone think?

Who is the better OF prospect?

smk1363 — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 17:41:33 -0000

Who is the better prospect:

1. Andrew Lambo, LAD - Currently playing for Great Lakes in Class A. He's hitting .280 avg/.338 obp/ .454 slg. I love how the Dodgers progress their prospects (other than LaRoche), Of course there are quite a few good young OF's in that system though. Lambo has shown some pretty good power potential.
2. Cedric Hunter, SD - Currently playing for Lake Elsinore in Hi A. Hitting .304 avg/ .365 obp/ .402 slg. I love his contact rates and bb/k, but he hasn't shown the ability to hit for power or steal bases, so he could be a .300+ avg kind of guy, with little power and speed (maybe a Howie Kendrick in the OF).

They're both OF prospects, and I think Lambo has the higher ceiling because he actually has shown power, but who has the better combination of ceiling+likelihood of reaching it?

Unbelievable

This righty supposedly has one of the best changeups in college baseball. He's following up his great sophomore season with an even better junior one.

Sophomore 2007: 13-3, 136.2 innings, 2.83 ERA, 118 hits against, 41 BB, 117 K's

Junior 2008 (so far): 6-2, 57.2 innings, 2.18 ERA, 34 hits against, 19 BB, 63 K's

Has anyone here seen him pitch and/or does anyone know anything about him?
