Bailing II

Rotisserie Baseball Musing: Bailing

Inevitiably, the first bail trade will expose the differences in player evaluations amongst the bailing teams and those in contention.

And if your offer wasn't accepted, you often acquire explanatory powers for the difference in standings. The bailing team will acquire a player or two whom the rejected teams can't believe was accepted over their offer i.e Chase Utley was not preferred over Jose Castillo.

Then the now intellectually-dimished bailing team asks for said better player for his 2nd and 3rd tier bail 2005 players. Here the offer-receiving team must decide to take the sloppy seconds for the better bail piece or decline the offer in hopes of another team bailing and grabbing their top offerees.

After the loaded language of the prior two paragraphs is dismissed, you must determine first if a fit still exists. This is mainly determined based on your needs. Was the 2nd piece going to be an upgrade for a middle infielder but that upgrade was dealt to the other team? Do you know have to fill-in that 2nd piece with your utility or DH who is better than the middle infielder you wanted to upgrade?

If this is the case, then hold-off. Other teams will bail once the first cheap keepers begin to redistribute to the teams in the lower echelons of the league.
