He'll be fine.

ManRam:

Can you riddle me this?

I recieve a 23rd and 24th pick. But I can only have 24 players on my team. I have 4 keepers taking up those 21st, 22nd, 23rd and 24th spots. What good are those 23rd and 24th picks?

#1 prospect in the Astros system. Take it with a grain of salt...but Pineiro was on his way out anyway over his last 3 starts.

As for Lawrie...if he's the real deal...he'll be eligible for 2nd and 3rd base. I can handle that.

It's not like rookies have done me wrong yet.

And my bad for asking that question again. I'm sure you've answered it before but I really don't remember.

Yea...15 of those wins came in his career year behind Dave Duncan. Remember when he was useless before then? Kinda like another Dave Duncan experiment named Kyle Lohse.

Pineiro started his season coming off the DL playing way over his head. It was fun while it lasted...but he's just given up hit after hit after hit. 31 in his last 3 starts.

Sure

Anibal Sanchez may be the greatest pitcher in the history of Major League Baseball.

Maybe so. But I had to jump on Lyles with his potential.

The Yankees can look so good at times and look like absolute shit the rest of the time.

WTF

sparky:  we have 24 Roster spots (10 offensive, 8 Pitching, 6 BN)

if you have 4 keepers that means you have 21 total roster spots to fill so if you keep all your Draft Picks you will be done drafting after Rd. 21 ( 22 thru 24 picks mean nothing)

*if you have 4 keepers and trade away your 4th/6th then you still have 21 roster spots to fill but you wont have any picks in the 4th or 6th so you will be done drafting after Rd. 23.

*if you decide to do 4 contracts + Franchise tag + Prospect Contract that means you have 6 players towards your 24 man roster so you have to fill 18 spots.  depending on how many draft picks u trade away will depend on what Rd your done drafting in.

* everyone is gonna have at least 2-3 Keepers + the option to keep 2 more (franchise/Prospect) so the 22nd thru 24th Rd picks are basically just there. its like their meaningless and its like your giving me a 4th and 6th for JUST Latos cause you wont need them 23rd and 24th selections..   (unless you have no keepers and trdae away draft picks)

that help

I believe we're increasing rosters next year anyway so we can get extra spots for prospects and shit. So I think it'll work. It's whatever...I'll take the risk to be honest.

Are you still good for the trade? I'm about to send it out...just trying to figure out who I'm going to drop.

I'm just interested in Latos because he's a 2-year guy. Nobody else interested me to be honest. And since I traded Mariano...I'm no longer looking to trade a closer.
