Jackson, Kalish and J. Gomez. (I have a SP hole, and was not assured of making a SP deal later today). And you never know, maybe J. Borbon will start running if he gets on base.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37316956.post-30408296216304228412010-08-04T07:53:50.013-04:002010-08-04T07:53:50.013-04:00I am sure Mike has some thoughts on Bourjos, but j...I am sure Mike has some thoughts on Bourjos, but just off the top of my head, while his power/speed combination looks sexy in the PCL, his MLE is a .695 OPS. On the flip side, if you need cheap steals, well, you were just handed them by the Angles.<br /><br />These analyses are always difficult without knowing your FAAB, your opponents' FAAB and your standing overall and in the category. So let me answer this way. If you can catch/pass a competitor in steals, by all means, you should bid strongly on Bourjos...you will not see a much better speed guy come up this year. If you need steals to stave off your competitors and hold on to points you already have, I again encourage you to bid strongly.<br /><br />If, however, you have an inkling that someone may bid on Bourjos who is not a threat to you in steals or overall, but is perhaps a threat to one of your competitors in the category, you might want to think about letting him slide or putting in a more conservative bid. This is a topic for a longer strategy post than I can give attention to in this short comment, but we sometimes forget that our team need not do all the damage to our competitors...sometimes, it is the middle of the pack teams that can hurt our opponents more.Tozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02097212900980638912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37316956.post-3356009760501030822010-08-03T22:28:04.737-04:002010-08-03T22:28:04.737-04:00Unrelated - any thoughts on FAAB for Bourjos?
