The "Original" 24 TKL

My probable drops
1. Jake Bauers
2. Emmanuel Valdez
3. Javier Baez
4. Corey Dickerson
5. Tyler Freeman
6. Kyle Gibson
7. Jake Irvin
8. Jose Urena
9. Jordan Wicks
10. Lucas Giolito
11. Sam Okert
12. Steven Wilson
13. Sam Hentges
14. James Karinchak
15. Seth Martinez

Probably Promotions:
1. Yoshinobu Yamamoto
2. Heliot Ramos
3. Brooks Lee
4. Emerson Hancock

If anyone wants some of those 15. I just need to move up in either draft. Send me your sixth rounder for my seventh. Your fifth for my sixth,etc. Or even a tiny prospect upgrade. Any numbers of spots to move up is fine.

highest batting average in those 15 is .209.

Only one pitcher has an ERA below 4.00

4 of them aren't carded.

Not much to work with there, Turtle.

I did say they were drops! But, hey one man's trash is another's fool's gold. Seriously, Urena or Irvin might be of some help for a fifth starter. And Wicks has some upside. But, yeah, outside of that it is cleaning the decks. I did say I could even move up only 1 spot in the draft, lol.

The rest of the roster looks solid though.

C - Connor Wong
1B - Michael Busch/David Fry vs. LHP
2B - Amed Rosario (this needs an upgrade)
3B - Matt Chapman
SS - Carlos Correa/Geraldo Perdomo
LF - Jarren Duran
CF - Byron Buxton
RF - TBD/Heliot Ramos vs LHP.
DH - Mark Vientos

SP - Ronel Blanco
SP - Yoshinobu Yamamoto
SP - Ryan Pepiot
SP - Gavin Stone
SP - Hunter Brown
SP - Spencer Turnbull (probably unleashed sadly and might be another drop)

I have 0 RP. But, I finish drafting in Round 7.

Not sure if I can be a title contender (maybe division), but it won't be last place again this year!

The Turtle trades

Jake Irvin
6th Round pick (121)
7th Round pick (145)

To Josh Flanagan For
5th Round pick (116)
6th Round pick (140)

I confirm the trade with Turtle:

Jake Irvin
6th Round pick (121)
7th Round pick (145)

To Josh Flanagan For
5th Round pick (116)
6th Round pick (140

And I will drop Will Smith (RP) to get back to 30.

Turtle, I publicly apologize for picking on you.

Nice trade, fellas!!

See, always make a post. I knew Irvin was very tradeable, not a ton for him, but enough to make it worth my while. I think when the cards hit, Jose Urena could have similar value.
