Hey Derek,
Someone was interested in Greinke and wanted to know what it would take to get him. Here is his roster and he has Fuentes. What offensive player should I go for? I was thinking Pence but I am still unsure. Also, I was thinking of involving Fuentes and Jenks in the deal as well. Thanks

Speaking as someone who has pestered Derek with questions via email for a couple years now, this is going to be a great feature. I know that my conversations with him have really helped my thought process during the fantasy baseball season.

Not that you care about my opinion but you already have 3 closers in nathan, jenks, and fuentes do you really need to hold onto wheeler balfour and ray? Maybe trade one of those, or hold on to those and trade a closer for an upgrade at SS

Guys, we love comments but posting your roster in the comments section is not going to get it “doctored”. Feel free to email it to us, though.
If you are posting your roster to get reactions from other commenters, then that is okay.

“The Roster Doctor” is a really nice idea. I’ll look forward to this each week. I’m drafting twice next week, I’m sure I’ll need help down the road!

Pernell,
I think with your pitching staff you could sacrifice Greinke for a bat (Bruce?) straight up and still be pretty good for pitching. If this is a H2H league, I could understand keeping that many SP for the two-start weeks. If it’s a roto league with an IP limit, you should be looking into trading some of your lesser SP for offensive help. Adding a stud RP couldn’t hurt either (Saito? Ceda?).
I’m not crazy about Lowrie (though definitely higher than Derek it seems), I think he’ll provide solid value in a 12-team league with a MI spot. I’d actually go as far as to say you probably have one of better (if not the best) MI situations in the league, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Lowrie provides you with the opportunity to deal one of your other MIs a few months from now. Good luck.

I expect this will be an interesting and fun feature. Then again, I’m assuming we’ll see a variety of league types represented…hopefully with none too many of the shallow pansy-league rosters (eg: 12 team mixed, only one catcher).
