[IBL] SDQ Trade flier ... very good players on offer, plus cast offs

Tue Jul 4 22:08:17 EDT 2023

With no pitching depth, 3 3B, 2 RF, SS, C, LF, SDQ is in rebuild mode.
This means everyone is available!

SDQ Current 2023:
C: KC Melendez, MIA Fortes
1B: MIL Tellez
2B: SF Estrada
SS: MIA Rojas
3B: HOU Bregman, COL McMahon, BAL Urias
LF: TOR Tapia
CF: PIT Reynolds
RF: NYN Marte
DH: whomever

SP: SF Rodon, CHA Lynn, SF Junis, CLE Civale, ATL Odorizzi, LAA Lorenzen,
MIN Smeltzer, MIL Houser (Civale, Lynn, Lorenzen and Houser are SP in MLB,
Rodon due back this week, Junis has been moved to SF pen)
RP: PHI Knebel (very good card, MLB 23: not pitching), LAN Vesia (stud MLB
23: rubbish) , CLE Sandlin  (stud MLB 23: ok) , COL Lamet (rubbish),  WAS
Ramirez (usable), ARI NelsonK (ok, MLB 23: good), LAN Bruihl (good in 23)

I've looked to value / what it would take for each.  Players who are full
time (position/SP) I consider of more value than a draft pick, mainly as a
draft pick
is a guess.  WAR I include as a measure, but WAR doesn't really translate
well into a players IBL value ... for example, COL McMahon has a 3.1 WAR,
NYN Edwin Diaz a 3.0 WAR ... who
would you rather have?

Tier 0  (Rutschman +, maybe Witt, multiple early #1's +)

SF Rodon (29), LHSP.  2nd highest WAR of all pitchers.  11.98 k/9, 2.61
BB/9, 0.61 HR/9, 6.62 H/9  (basically, current card with fewer DF)
HOU Bregman (28), RH 3B. 5.5 WAR (tied for 4th best of all 3B).
.259/.366/.454  38 2B, 23 HR.  Considered an MVP candidate in 2018/2019,
finally healthy, .894 OPS post AS break.
PIT Reynolds (27), BH CF. 2.9 WAR (8th best CF).  .262/.345/.461 27 HR.
Great 2021, only some guys named Judge and Julio Rodriguez had more HR as a
CF.

Tier 1 (#1 value-ish)
NYN Marte (34), RH RF. 3.0 WAR (8th best RF).  .292/.347/.468, some power
(16 HR) and speed
SF Estrada (26), RH 2B/SS.  2.7 WAR.  .260/.322/.402,  14 HR, 21 SB.  First
full season.  Rated here as 20/20 middle infielder potential and still
young.
CLE Sandlin (25), RH RP.  8.39 k/9, 4.9 k/9, 0.4 hr/9, .176 BAA.  shut down
RH RP with no/very few DF.
LAN Vesia (26), LH RP.  13 k/9, 4 bb/9, 0.33 hr/9, 6.13 H/9, .187 BAA.
 shut down LH RP with no DF.

Tier 2 (mid - high #2)

MIA Fortes (25) RH C.  .230/304/.392.  Good power, rated this high due to
age, power (9 HR in 240 PA)
CHA Lynn (35), RH SP.  9.17 K/9, 1.41 BB/9, 1.41 HR/9, 8.8 H/9.  Slow start

be back in 2023.
MIL Tellez
LAA Lorenzen (30), RH SP.  7.8 k/9, 4 bb/9, 1 HR/9, .223 BAA , pitching
well for DET

 .248/.305/.414  16 HR

given a shot as a SP
