$$DEFCON 1 ALERT - Miguel Sano$$

[Gekko]

Twins recalled INF Miguel Sano from Double-A Chattanooga.
Sano will take over as the Twins' regular designated hitter in Thursday's series opener against the Royals. The 22-year-old was sporting a .918 OPS with 15 home runs and 48 RBI in 66 games this season at the Double-A level and he's a must-own in all standard fantasy leagues for his massive power potential.

I admit I'm a Sano lover. I picked him up via FAAB in the NFBC AL Auction back in April and have been sitting on him ever since. The guy missed all of last season with an injury, but is back healthy this year. He started slow in April, but has been on a MONSTER tear in May and July. In 178 AB he has 16 doubles, 1 triple and 11 HR with .315 avg and 4 stolen bases thrown in. ALL FROM THE 3B POSITION!!

if you are lacking in offensive production, may I recommend a "maximum bid" scenario this sunday? Maybe leave yourself $50 FAAB for the rest of the season and put the rest on Sano.

PS - Gallo owners wish they had Sano. Now they just have an empty wallet and with that a lost opportunity of bidding on Sano and future FAAB pickups.

huge week in FA bidding. mets have their 6th or 7th hall of fame pitcher (hard to keep track) to arrive plus sano should hit 25 to 30 homers the rest of the way. 450 on each, smoke 'em if ya got 'em. too bad the mets still have the crack medical staff watching over them. the gm said 3 times that murphy would be back any day now- 3 weeks ago. of course wright is now in witness protection and has crossed the border into canada to seek medical help.

The regular alerts had lost their luster. Happy to see Gek recognized this and created the DEFCON-1 level to cut through the clutter. I will be bidding somewhere between $1 and $950 in all leagues.

At least 50% remaining budget! Let the Sano fireworks begin. Kaboom.

Holy shit. This guy is a beast. Just missed a HR. Looks like he's ready to go ape shit. How much is 20 2nd half HR worth from a 3B?

[Gekko]

just thinking outloud here, but Miggy owners should be all over this guy. ya long term, Sano isn't a .330 hitter, but over the short term, anything is possible. might not be a dropoff from miggy this year

Rev it up! Bump this! NOW!
