GMKL CHAT:

So, all weekend I had contemplated who I was going to take waiting for two picks to be made before me. Should I take Tellez or O'Hearn? One of them will surely be there. How often do 3 1B get taken in the 1st round. Everyone has a 1B! I went back and forth, and forth and back. Finally, I decided I'll take Tellez, then O'Hearn in that order. There are only two picks to go. Good, now hurry up and wait.

Now, I've spent 2 hours figuring out what next. Can I contend? Do I build for the future or try this year. Ugh! I guess I'll take some pitcher who I'm sure will be no good for the future, but maybe he'll help me contend this year. And maybe he'll help for the future ...


And by the way, Jesse Winker is not available, he's on my roster.

I'm glad I'm not the only obsesses over all of these same types of decisions.

Available to trade:

Everyone on my roster available, though the following 3 players would be quite expensive, but willing to listen:

RF-Betts
SS-Tatis
3rd-Arenado

Looking for youth in this total rebuild. I have zero chance of competing this year, so offering players that may help this year but little chance of future aid will be of no interest to me. Looking for quality, not quantity.

Is there any interest in changing the active roster size from 25 to 26?

Now that we are required to carry 11 pitchers it leaves the bench a bit short. It seems like some other leagues have made the change.

I thought I covered this earlier. We will be 26 going forward.

Looking for quality, not quantity, and players that will help in 2020, as opposed to someone with zero chance of coming up at some point in 2019.

All good with the league office, no drops required

Anyone still in need of an SP feel free to make an offer for J.A. Happ. While I won't give him away, he can be had a lot cheaper than you'd expect. Will combine him with others as well in the right deal.
