Guys,
Just want to let you all know the state of the league. Quick recap, my wife, the big bread winner in our house, lost her job in August, we have been unable to find anything that fits her skill set and/or salary here in Buffalo. We know we will be moving, just not sure where or when. We have some promising leads these next 2 weeks in Virginia and Michigan. My best guest is we will be leaving Buffalo around May 1.
What does all this have to do with this league? Well for starters, at the moment, I do not have a discretionary income (hell I don't have any income), not sure when that will change but it could delay the start of things. I do have a few credits in the bank so It won't effect all my play. Secondly packing up and moving is a HUGE undertaking and a giant time suck. I don't know if.when I'll have time to get out rosters, player avail sheets, etc. Nor do I know if/when I'll be able to babysit a draft. I just think it's fair you all know what is going on. I'll keep you posted as I can.
That said, I've examined my team with the help of the ratings book and have determined
A. My team is SCARY good on paper &
B. I can move the following pieces:
1. Alex Avila- C LH hitting Catcher, good D low GBA's ( rare for a catcher)
2. Danny Espinoza Defensive whiz who apparently player hurt most of last year, might be a bounce back type.
3. Lonnie Chisenall - Young with Upside, just with both Longoria and Carpenter I can afford to move him
4. Matt Joyce -Corner OF with Good power VS RHP and good base stealling, 4th OF type
5. Jeremy Hellickson - Bottom of the order type, still young
6. Brandon McCarthy - Not a good card this year, but can put up #3- low end #2 type cards
7. Jake Ordorizzi - is he the next great SP from the Tampa pipeline??
8. Tim Collins - LH Fireballer often compared to Billy Wagner, moreof a LH specialist this year
9. Sam LeCure - Reverse RHRP really tough on LHH
10. Huston Street - Closer option for someone in a big park( read low BPHR numbers) I can't play him in my park
11. Great American Ballpark - Cincinatti, anyone wnat a smaller park for a larger one, I'd like to get out of this Bam Box if possible
