I like Grissom more and more every time I watch him, but there are so many prospects in that range near the back end of my top-500. and minor drafts, and I am unsure if my catcher will be good enough. His team was stacked and it seems like a no brainer to make a deal from that offer but Im also a big Bieber fan as he hits his prime. There isn't much value to be found in keeping Buehler, who may also be older than you realize, but he's settling in as a perennial Cy Young contender. Just wondering how many starting hitters/pitchers you are assuming in a league for this ranking list Still only 29 and perhaps not fully appreciated for his power/speed prowess, Ramirez also has third base going for him, which is a nightmare position this year.

Flores,W Mike Trout fatigue has begun to set in after he failed to make it back from last May's calf injury, but it wouldn't be enough for me to break off my marriage to this generation's best player. Thanks. Ive NEVER ranked a guy below Double-A this highly. My rotation has skated by thus far and is lacking an ace currently (Montas, Ray, Morton, Matz, Lamet). Id probably stand pat. Other then speed whats makes Tatis Jr or Soto better than Vlad in Dynasty league since the start of last year i feel what i have heard Vlad has the best bat and he will compete for Batting titles in years to comes.

Sure, he's turning 39, but in leagues that allow for only 4-5 keepers, you don't have to plan years and years ahead. Longterm, I like Pearson more, but theres not a big gap.
