1st NAKL Chat: LOCKED RULES ON PAGE 1

Take a peak at Kev’s rotation

Answer:
Ten.
Question:
How many SP's are available in the free agent draft that have better stats (80 inning minimum) than the six that have been made available (Davies, Pomeranz, Lynn, Leake, Nova, and Quintana) in this chat thread.

Are you planning on only dealing one of Lynn/Leake/Nova?

Scherzer, Wood, deGrom, and Montomery are in my rotation for sure. The 5th depends on possible trades. I am also thinking of a SP with my 1st pick, as I am set with my lineup.

Interesting stat. I may have to rethink Quintana’s availability until draft time. Think I’ll take a closer look at the 10 available[/quote]

Well, knowing you are selecting one with the 1st pick, kinda leaves 9 for the rest of the folks[/quote]

Have to admit I do like my rotation

Carrasco
Strasburg
C.Anderson
1st FA pick
Keuchel

Quintana
Bundy


.....you’re looking pretty good too Jerry[/quote]

Insert Luis Castillo into Rosco's rotation, that will round out a nice 5-man rotation.

Availables:
Michael Brantley LF
Todd Frazier 3B
Zach Davies SP
Kyle Barraclough RP
Will Harris RP
AJ Pollock CF
Ian Happ 2B/LF/CF/RF
Kyle Schwarber LF
Dylan Cease SP (Prospect)

Adding one player to my list of available players, but this one with a twist

Jonathan Villar: Offering him for a 2018 9th RD pick. Should he end up with a salary of less than $5 salary in 2019 you get my 9th RD pick in the 2019 draft. Kind of a no lose situation. Worse case scenario is an even trade with just the exchange of years, and that's if you end up with pick #12. Anything less than that and it's an upgrade of picks.

I was just starting to really dig into my 8 Keepers and it's clear which will compete....and which will not!! I do like my NAKL rotation.

Kluber
Hill
Peacock
Fulmer
Arrieta

Devenski out of the pen for 200 innings and Robertson closing games.

On the flipside....this team needs to find ways to score runs!

I just did my full team assessment and it's looking pretty, pretty good. Pretty good.
