You have no choice. You already bought him and now you are stuck with him.uky wrote:I'll take Giles
if you are thinking about this as a reasonable, unbiased person, his pre-Gregerson announcement pricepoint should have been 10-12. after gregerson was named closer, locked down his first save (with Giles imploding), i surmise giles would go post round 20. at least that is what my numbers say. ie, he's waiver wire fodder.KJ Duke wrote:You could say he's in the position of Betances (a 15th rounder) but still with a clearer path to saves, so better. He is similar to Andrew Miller (12th rd before he hurt his hand) who was looking a 1 mo of saves, but Giles o/u still better than 1/6th of season of save. So today he'd probably drop from R8 (which already included a risk discount) pre-Gregerson announcement to R10-11. Not quite dead, or even a disaster.
He was a 14th rounder last year as a closer-in-waiting, and he's a lot closer to getting that role this year. He grooved one to Didi today, probably thinking he couldn't hurt him, then struck the next two (better) hitters and finished the inning with a GB. No worries here.Gekko wrote:if you are thinking about this as a reasonable, unbiased person, his pre-Gregerson announcement pricepoint should have been 10-12. after gregerson was named closer, locked down his first save (with Giles imploding), i surmise giles would go post round 20. at least that is what my numbers say. ie, he's waiver wire fodder.KJ Duke wrote:You could say he's in the position of Betances (a 15th rounder) but still with a clearer path to saves, so better.

i hope my fellow owners keep giles rostered. that will only hurt them from picking up an actual usable player via FAAB.
papelbon was 95% certain to get moved last year, hence Giles adp of rounds 14/15. gregerson will be the guy ALL year (assuming he stays healthy). i know its tough for Giles owners to believe that, but with each save gregerson locks down, reality will begin to set in for Giles owners.KJ Duke wrote:

Joc, on the other hand, would worry me. He is on zero teams for me, ditto Buxton. I think drafters are paying for stats that may be a couple year away.
Gregers isn't even "the" guy right now, as the GM has said saves will be situation-dependent. I'd take over vs his 15 saves last year.Gekko wrote:papelbon was 95% certain to get moved last year, hence Giles adp of rounds 14/15. gregerson will be the guy ALL year (assuming he stays healthy). i know its tough for Giles owners to believe that, but with each save gregerson locks down, reality will begin to set in for Giles owners.KJ Duke wrote:

giles, pederson and buxton are all post round 20 players for me. i'm not even sure i would bid on them if they were available in FAAB.
Own giles/gregers in multiple leagues. Should be plenty of saves to go around.Gekko wrote:u must be a Giles owner

Greger is the "primary" for now. Giles @ 90 k's, 5-7 w's, 10-25 svs, sub 1.00 whip will be a solid contributor.rkulaski wrote: I think the "situations" are going to favor gregers for awhile.
Surprising guys were drafting Giles before rd 10 leading up to opening day.
PM me, we'll book it.Doctor Who wrote:KJ- what can I get for under 15 saves for Giles this year?
