But not all the super teams in the AL are created equally
4:04
Indians needed bullpen and OF help to have a chance to reasonably excel in October
Tony Womack

Crazy for AL only fantasy leagues!!

Seems like a significant detail perhaps Kiley can shed some light

Matt Harvey -- no one cares

Reds holding onto a reclamation rental too long is very Reds
Travis Sawchik
4:06
Only one position can be correct

I still want to know which 80 grade name combination you guys prefer for you fusion, Travis Kiley or Sawchik McDaniel? For me it's the latter, no contest. Sawchik McDaniel would be a plodding slugger pinned to the corner spots, except he could play second for the brewers or dodgers maybe.

Hey, strikeouts are up which helps Sawchik McDaniel slide up the spectrum

Smaller take on the Chris Archer deal - he just moved from the worst ballpark in MLB to (arguably) the best

Orioles got Cumberland in the Gausman deal.

Appears to be the one piece we know, 2 we don't
Travis Sawchik

I love it, Kiley

*sees Schoop/Brewers getting close at 2:54 CDT*...so is Travis Shaw a shortstop now?
Travis Sawchik
4:08
Shaw could play shortstop when Hader is pitching
Bo

Word is Evan Phillips and Bruce Zimmerman are the other two for Gausman. Seems like a quantity over quality move.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:08
If that's it, that's a pretty solid deal for ATL
Gausman has seemed like a change of scenery guy for awhile
Drew

Indians fans should be disappointed. Seems like they paid a lot for Hand and still have holes to fill in the OF.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:11
ah JC Encarnacion also in the Gausman deal
that's a 45+, 40+ and two 40s
Travis Sawchik
4:11
I think the Indians had to address these areas, and I think they did reasonably well
DJ

Schoop deal done per Rosenthal.

Cumberland from what I understand was a guy that belonged in the AL anyways with suspect ability to stay behind the plate defensively.
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:12
Fits AL better
Conner from AZ

How many times are we going to make the "If the Mets roll into [Insert Season] with a healthy [Insert Pitchers], they will be interesting" comment before we get out of our own way?
AvatarKiley McDaniel
4:12
(Phillips, Zimmerman and JCE all rising this year)
Travis Sawchik
4:12
Until those question marks march into free agency
Different Jake
4:12
But what about CLE's hole in RF? Chisenall will be on the DL for a while
Travis Sawchik
4:12
CLE could still address position before Aug. 31 deadline
.....
4:13
Think there's still some hope for Glasnow as a starter? Move to the Rays good for him?
Travis Sawchik
4:13
Man, he could become just about anything
I'd love to hear Kiley's take ... Ultimate risk/reward piece
Roll Tribe
4:14
Indians fans should be rioting.  NYY/BOS/HOU all have lefties in their playoff rotations.  Martin will not even be playing.  The Indians gave up a 45FV prospect FOR A PLAYER WHO WILL NOT EVEN START IN THE POSTSEASON.
Travis Sawchik
4:14
Rioting seems a touch extreme but I suppose a movement and meeting place could be arranged on Face Book
AvatarKiley McDaniel

Actually fits the TB model of pitcher. Talked to a guy yesterday, picking out young pitchers that would be good 2nd thru 5th innings, one time thru the order vs. 1-4 hitters, twice for 5-9
Glasnow seems like that type
