WILL 2019 BE DIFFERENT?

Posted on June 13, 2019 at 09:13 PM.

So again, I am getting a late start to my fantasy franchise. I was holding off, hoping SDS would fix the missing pitcher's hitting stats for carryovers, but 12 patches later still not corrected. So I came up with a little roster manipulation to use a 2019 OSFM roster in 2019 and still have my rookies.

Admittedly, I had to make a lot of roster move and tried to keep it fair, obviously no real superstars were stolen, except Ohtani who I actually acquired in trade in 2018, but mostly previous Reds player, Ohio born players or player I had on my 2017 Fantasy Franchise.

THESE ARE YOUR 2019 CINCINNATI REDS...

STARTING FIVE

SP Luis Castillo
SP Mike Leake - *Trade w/ SEA for SP Alex Wood (RF Jay Bruce too)
SP Anthony DeSclafani
SP Sonny Gray
SP Shohei Ohtani - 2017 CAP version and 2019 Rookie Year

EVERYDAY EIGHT

-C Tucker Barnhart
1B Joey Votto
2B Scooter Gennett
SS Zack Cozart - *Trade w/ LAA for SS Jose Iglesias and SP Keury Mella
3B Travis Shaw
LF Jesse Winker
CF Nick Senzel
RF Jay Bruce

DA BENCH

-C Devin Mesoraco
1B Derek Dietrich / Adam Dunn *2017 CAP
SS Jose Peraza
LF Scott Schebler
CF Billy "Wheels" Hamilton
-------------------( I made up Wheels)

THE PEN

SP Robert Stephenson
SP Homer Bailey

Adam Dunn contacted THE NEW REDS OWNERSHIP after acquiring the tream expressing interest in coming out off retirement as a part-time player, considered a questionable move by many, but a new ownership opened their arms quickly to the a favorite player. He will trade playing time with 1B Derek Dietrich throughout the season.
