BP Fantasy Baseball (2008-2024, Current Champion = MD Buckeye again)

So my first win of the week doesn't come until Saturday. Kershaw? No. Scherzer? No. Sale? No. Martinez? No.

It comes from Mr. Give Up Two Runs In The Bottom Of The Ninth To Blow A Save And Close Out The Tenth After Your Team Has Gotten You Another Lead Off Of Another One Of Duke Silver Sluggers' Pitchers. Yeah.

Last year the first three starting pitchers I drafted were Gerrit Cole, Shelby Miller, and Adam Wainright and somehow I won the league. So having to piece together a decent rotation is nothing new (apparently I suck at drafting SPs), but it's still a work in process.

It's April, and I only have 2 SPs I drafted still on my roster. They're both on the DL. :lol:

It's a good thing I won big in week 1...

You won big in week 1? :smash:

Injury bug taking over my squad.

I'd like to add that Mitch Haniger (strained oblique,) Josh "no longer on my team but sat the bench with girlie calves" Donaldson, Travis "bruised hand" Shaw, Rich "doing his best Beatles: I've got blisters on my fingers!" Hill and Todd "I battled and overcame West Nile Virus" Frazier would like to say hi, as well.

Gerrit Cole is 0-6 all time vs the Reds so I'm benching him since almost all of my starters are pitching today and someone has to sit. I probably just guaranteed his first "W" in Cincinnati.

Creating my own trade block here to see how it goes.

On Friday(ish) Gary Sanchez is due to come off the DL.

That will give me a little excess capacity in C and OF that I would like to see if I could turn into a SP that gets K's

So pick from this pool and see if anything works

C (pick one)
Gary Sanchez
Russel Martin (who has actually started to hit like Russel Martin the past 2 weeks)

OF (pick two)
Ian Desmond
Kole Calhoun
Max Kepler

If you want to get real aggressive with it I have Trumbo and CarGo, who will eventually start hitting, but I would need some offense back to trade them

Curious to see if this kind of format works or not. Let me know.

I'll trade you Kershaw for Vargas, Donaldson and Sanchez.
