Edwin Encarnacion available for right offer

Is Jerlins okay? He led me to believe he had a definite fave for his first round pick. I told him Castillo would be gone.

C.Gonzalez-RF
R.Buchter-RP

Are both available for FA (or prospect) picks


Open offers on both. Basically at the beginning of any round if you prefer one of them to what is available simply post the deal and I will confirm.

For example if it was round 4 and you were looking for a RF and prefer Cargo to what’s available with your pick just post the deal and I will confirm it once I see it.
Offers are open until they are not.

Availables to deal:

Brandon McCarthy SP/RP
Brad Peacock SP/RP
Michael Wacha SP/RP
Yadier Alvarez (prospect)

Yeah, knowing Castillo would be gone, I was debating between Hoskins and Olson, neither of them needed for the upcoming season, so went with who I consider the better long term player as opposed to who had the better card. In hindsight, I probably should have just kept Devers, who I believe will be a better long term player than Hoskins. Sometimes, the rush of an offseason trade in the middle of a cold winter gets the best of me.

Ironic that I was just thinking to myself whether or not I should have traded my #2 overall pick for Devers/Tapia/Willy Adames. I was thinking I wanted to get young, but with Olson available at #2, I was second-guessing myself. Olson is on pace to pounding 70 or more HRs in some leagues (I have him in 4 leagues). He is a devastating force out there!! Don't know if Adames or Tapia will amount to anything.

I also traded away my #2 overall prospect for Taijuan Walker. Another mystery on how a trade will work out!

Oh yeah, I traded Kiermaier for AJ Reed/Dansby Swanson/Carlos Rodon.

I suppose I was busy this off-season.

Jury is out that any of this will work out!

I think you got a great player in Hoskins. Meaning more than just one season. Even though I needed Olson and his left-handed bat, Hoskins is clearly the better player when considering the whole offensive picture - power plus BA and OBP. And Hoskins can play the outfield too!

I truly believe Devers will be a superstar, Adames a star at worse, and Tapia? Well, he "should" be a star, but is being blocked. He needs a new team where he can blossom. Honestly, I am stunned how Hoskins is continuing to do well. Ryan and I have had numerous discussions about him, and he can confirm I thought little about the long term prospects of both he and Olson. In 2 years or less, Devers will prove to be the best player in our deal.

I’ve drafted Castillo first overall in 3 leagues and 2nd overall in another. I looked into him a bunch and think he’s the real deal. That said he’s started off terribly, who knows maybe he’s a one hit wonder so to speak. All these guys are gambles.
