[USML Announce] Ask Brad

If Turner actually pitches much for the Kitties, I'm seeing a really big negative number there.  A cluster of Ks won't do much to offset a 5+ ERA and a 1.5+ WHIP.  (Not saying he's not a great talent, but he's SOOO not ready.)  Trout, on the other hand, could contribute is long as he's not the same guy who played in the AFL under that name.

But do you see what you made me do?  I was committed to the idea that my team sucked, then you give me just a little bit of hope and all of a sudden I'm talking smack.  I demand a recount!

Jeff:  Multiple questions.
 
1.  By “Shandler,” do you mean Rotolab?
 
2.  What undervalue is assigned to Trout/Turner that propels the Riptorns into 5th?

Ask and ye shall receive.  
 
Here is Shandler’s take on the current status of the retention rosters:
 
11.  ARK (-3) Retained value
10.  Dennis (0) Retained value
9.    Red Hots (+5) Retained value
8.    Calamari (+24) Retained value
7.    Riptorns (+26) Retained value
5.    Brats (+37) Retained value    
5.    Bombers (+37) Retained value
4.    Hoosiers (+41) Retained value
3.    Berliners (+42) Retained value
2.    AYM (+44) Retained value
1.    Nukes (+48) Retained value
 
If you factor in rookies, the standings change a bit, with the Berliners moving to first on the strength of Moore and Montero, Nukes dropping to second, but just barely with Darvish and the Torns moving up to 5th with Trout and Turner.
 
Let the games begin!

I'm surprised not to have received Jeff's annual message declaring that the K-9 have the league's worst retention roster.  Jeff ... I'm curious about how far behind the Adams Family Values I am in terms of "overvalue".

OK Brad,

 

So now that I've faithfully followed your recommendations (more or less) I need your guidance as to the draft.

 

I clearly have a bunch of top flight talent, but essentially no money.  Can I borrow some?

 

Should I throw in the towel and start selling my guys promptly after the draft or should I cobble together a middling team based on the stars and scrubs approach?

 

By the way, where are you going to find pitchers?

 

Do you have Mike R's phone number?  I think I need his help too.
