PrintHate to come off rude or more arrogant than I already am, but can people please rec this post so that ANYONE who needs to fill a fantasy league or start one or need general advice can post here with their information or question.
I'd be more inclined to participate and comment in discussions and threads if they take place here vs. on their own separate fan post. Also could take on a league or two but always late to the game or need more information and not worth the time to send emails around, etc.
As we get in fantasy draft mode, we should try to keep the fanpost space clean and keep these OT inquiries in one central place.
PLEASE REC THIS POST so it hits the top.

eh..
not for advise. Those trade and draft questions often spawn some pretty good feedback thats really not that OT
all for it
like I said, I can totally see the topic being about minor leaguers, however we get alot of posters seeking out new owners from the standpoint of “prospecting minor leaguers” and that might disinterest alot of ppl from commenting on good topics.
I think the Cahill post is a great example of a job well done of a 1 year removed minor leaguer who could have a huge fantasy impact and applaud ideas / examples like that.
If however you just have an opening / need advice, i dont think it warrants a fanpost since at most you are looking at a few joiners / good comments.
Again, this is from the perspective of the guy who has taken over the community lists, but also someone who wants to contribute naturally and not see fantasy related posts cloud the judgement of what this blog should be about!

dynasty draft question
Which pitcher has the highest ceiling? I am going to choose one of them in my upcoming FYPD for my dynasty league and want to see what people think.
Dellin Betances, Trey McNutt, Chris Archer, Anthony Ranaudo, Drew Pomeranz
Thanks
I like Betances
the most there…McNutt is tempting too, but Betances looks really good to me—and he may get traded to a friendlier league/home park too…

Interesting deal
League with fairly complicated 8×8 stats (AB/R/HR/RBI/SBN/BB/RC/OBP/SLG and IP/K/QS/SV/HD/ERA/WHIP/K:BB). I deal Joey Votto (1 year remaining on a fixed 3 year contract but I could use a franchise tag to hold on to him indefinitely, each team gets 4 tags, I have Longoria, Felix, and probably Cruz for the other 3), 2 years of Kelly Johnson and move down a few spots in the 2nd round of this year’s draft. I get Zack Greinke (same deal as Votto, 1 year at the end of which I could franchise tag), Mike Moustakas (5 year contract starting the year he’s called up), Grant Green, a 3rd round prospect draft pick (about the 75-90th best prospect on most Top 100 lists, and a 2012 3rd round regular draft pick.
Basically it comes down to: how big is the value difference between Votto and Greinke over the next few years?
Rank for Dynasty Draft
How should these 4 players be ranked for a dynasty draft? Taillon, Chris Sale, Machado, Gary Sanchez
I would guess it depends on your needs...
and how much you value proximity to the ML roster but I would probably rank them as:
1. J. Taillon
2. C. Sale
3. G. Sanchez (I am a believer that he will be a better overall player than Montero in the long run.)
4. M. Machado
Slowey is a control freak, and I like it!!
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread..
I’m in the midst of acquiring Brett Anderson for the following:
Zach Britton
Derek Norris
Mike Foltynewicz
LeVon Washington
Matt Lipka
Am I giving up too much?
This is NOT fantasy.
-————————————————————————
Only reason I’m posting it here is because my other thread is dead.
If not fantasy, THEN?
This is not a bad haul for the other owner, but I only could see Norris or Lipka developing into stars.
Yeah, I'm willing to part with..
Britton, but I’m not really interested in parting with Norris.
I might have to take this offer off of the table.
NOT fantasy?
So are you Billy Beane? In that case you should not trade Brett Anderson…

Reading comprehension.
Please get some.
I said I’m in the midst of trading for him, not trading him.
Also, I’m in a sim league.
NL-only 10-team keeper auction league
Based in Dayton, Ohio, and has been around for about 20 years. We need 1 or 2 owners to fill existing teams. Standard 5×5 with $260 for salaries. It’s preferable you can make it to Dayton for the auction (which is either April 2 or April 3), but not required. We have an in-person auction, but 1 owner teleconferences from Colorado, and 2 owners teleconference from Michigan. We draft 23-man rosters and 12-man reserve lists (a mix of minors and majors). Entry fee is $70.
If interested or more questions, please email me at paulyp71@hotmail.com.
Thanks!

Would you rather...?
Not saying I’m making either of these trades. There are salary considerations, so I’ll just leave it at that.
Would you rather:
Trade Desmond Jennings and receive Matt Moore.
or
Trade Josh Hamilton and receive Shelby Miller and Aaron Hicks?
Jennings for Moore
Prefer neither though
Jennings has the highest floor and is worth more along the lines of Hellickson, Teheran or Taillon.
Hamilton is a stud and it could be three years before either prospect breaks through. imo Hamilton is worth a Hosmer/Montgomery or Moose/Lamb combo…..hey, that last one looks edible….

Deep Keeper League Advice
I am in the midst of my keeper league draft. The league has fairly standard rotisserie scoring. We have 35 players on the rosters at the moment and there are 15 teams. I am looking for some minor league sleepers of note. We have 9 more rounds left. To give you a context of how deep we are in terms of prospects, my last pick was Brandol Perez, SP, SEA. I was wondering what prospects you would recommend drafting for both short term and long term returns.
16 team auction with prospect draft
Hey Folks,
Looking for 1 more for a 16 team dynasty auction with prospects. Who would be interested? I’ve got some really experienced guys rolling already. This league is only for real competitors. You will get demolished if you don’t know what your are talking about. That being said, it will be friendly competition! The team is pretty blank still.
email me at Jared.Calhoun@yahoo.com
Head to head…
6×6 standard plus OPS and Holds, daily
Roster sizes would be 40 majors leaguers, 25 minors
No fees!

New Dynasty Keeper League starting through FanGraphs/Ottoneu
Hey guys, I don’t know if any of you saw, but FanGraphs launched a cool new fantasy baseball product and I just started a new league but need some competition! It’s a $99 12 team linear-weight/points league where you have an auction draft and 40 man rosters with keepers/prospects, etc. (23 starters needed). It pays out 80% to the top three each season, which is significantly better than CBS, ESPN, etc. It is also a very unique game that I thought some people here might be interested in.
If you want to learn more about the league go here: http://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/support
Or, you can email me at jonathan.n.parker AT gmail DOT com with any questions!
One spot open for dynasty league
We’ve got one spot open for our 16 team dynasty. 25 man rosters with realistic contracts, and a 50 player minor league system per team. It’s free, so if someone is looking for a real challenge, shoot me an email and we’ll get you set up. The team that is open is right now a 10th-12th place team or so, but with the opportunity to be better.
If everybody likes you, then either no one knows anything about you, or you're dead.

By the way....
…if you don’t like the composition of the roster, it’s very easy to trade. This team is loaded with highly liquid assets. Montero, Alvarez, Feliz, Anderson, Garza, Ethier and to a lesser extent Beckham, Duffy, Teheran, Dunn (due to salary) would garner enormous interest via trade.
