Biggest movers

[Deadheadz]

Alright, this thread has moved on from biggest movers to biggest flops. Here are a few for me...

No matter where Matt Kemp is picked in the first 10 rounds....flop
Shortstop kicks Tulo's ass, until his stocky frame changes position...flop
What a great body. Too bad it's wound so tight and hits in a huge ball park. Anybody named Giancarlo....flop
I never know why. I've just never drafted him or wanted to. Hunter Pence...flop
A stock that flies, then when we invest it fails. That is the feeling I get if I draft Starling Marte....flop

Biggest flops? How about the Deadheadz 2014 MLB Fantasy season?

Oops, there I go making it about me again. Sorry.

My flop predictions:
Jose Fernandez - how can you come close to matching 2013?
Big Papi - same reason but I hope I'm wrong
Andrelton Simmons - power was a fluke

[Edwards Kings]

When he signs, Kendrys Morales will climb.

When Stephen Drew signs, Will Middlebrooks will climb (assuming Drew does not return to the BoSox).

Jason Heyward cracks a few windshields, he will climb (they say he ADDED more muscle...could be Giancarlo-esque).

Speaking of Braves, if Beachy has a clean spring, he will climb.

When Ervin Santana signs, he will climb (if he does so before June, of course).

If Dustin Ackley is traded before the season begins, he will climb, but not much.

My flop predictions:
Andrelton Simmons - power was a fluke

I am a homey, but after a solid first year, I think he poised to improve BA and OBP. The second will allow him (if Fredi will) exploit his speed (20-ish SB?). And he has legitimate 15+ HR power. Improved his LD and FB profile immensly in the second half.

If not this year, then next, Atlanta's leadoff hitter with Heyward, Upton (Justin) and Freeman hitting behind him.

Time will tell, but I bet on his upside.

Let me translate for Wayne since his southern gentleman ways always shine through...

"Get real canuck and go pound snow. I watched him all year and know which end is up. The only prediction you will be right about is that it will snow in the Yukon"

[Edwards Kings]

"Mike Trout began the Cactus League season with a bang in Friday's 15-3 rout of the Cubs, blasting a grand slam home run and plating five runs.
Trout singled home a run in the second inning, then deposited a James McDonald offering over the wall to clear the bases to highlight a nine-run uprising in the fourth. As great of a hitter as Miguel Cabrera is, Trout should be the first name called in fantasy drafts this spring."

Trout's current ADP is 1.19. He could rise all the way to 1.16 or 1.15!

OK...not the biggest mover.

[Gekko]

Just saw highlights of tanaka from today. His splitter is unhittable. Easy K per inning guy. 200k this year. Not quite darvish, but looks real good

[TOXIC ASSETS]

Bud Fox to Gekko:
I have some inside information for you.
Tanaka can't make it out of the 6th inning due to his poor conditioning habits.
Draft at your own risk.

[Edwards Kings]

OOPS!

Braun with a HR. Just a gut feeling he will be one if the only first round values this year, ie, will finish in top 4 overall

Ryan Braun went 2-for-2 with a home run against the Athletics on Wednesday. Braun took Jarrod Parker deep in the fourth inning, his second homer of the spring.

Guy is flat out ready to DOMINATE.

I Tweeted out today that Braun is serving up plenty of spring training evidence to support the idea he hasn't been a long-time PED user. He looks just like Ryan Braun so far. And yes, I realize it's just spring training.

But is he using again - why stop now?
If he denies it, will you believe him ... again.

His credibility is definitely gone in my eyes. However, the best-case scenario for Brewers' fans has always that Braun only used PEDs to try and recover from his wrist injury during his MVP season. If he puts up his usual numbers this season that would go a long way toward confirming that belief. It would also help explain why he never failed a single drug test up until that point and didn't fail any after that.

And yes, I realize the cheaters are always one step ahead of those trying to catch them.
