My Recent Transactions:

-Claimed Jarrod Saltalamacchia (C - BOS) off waivers; dropped Josh Phegley (C - CWS)
As much as I like Phegley's power potential, this move was a no-brainer. I was lucky enough to have the #5 waiver claim, and ended landing Salty, which worked out well, because Yadier Molina (C - STL) was placed on the DL not long after that. And as much as I'd like to pick up a replacement for Molina, I simply don't have the roster space. Besides, all of the other free agent catchers are average-killers (including Phegley, at the moment), so I'm better off going 0 for 0 with Molina than going 2 for 20 with John Buck (C - NYM).

-Added Xander Bogaerts (SS - BOS); dropped Junior Lake (SS - CHC)
I may have been a bit hasty with this move, as Lake continues his tear, but I do expect Bogaerts to get the call any day now. And, out of all the hitting prospects who aren't named Yasiel Puig (OF - LAD), I think Bogaerts has the best shot at making an impact out of the gate. His power is for real and he's quickly risen through the ranks. If nothing else, a September call-up is all but guaranteed.

-Added Alex Rodriguez (3B - NYY); dropped Todd Frazier (3B - CIN)
What the hell, right? I figure A-Rod will finish out the season with the Yanks, given the fact his appeal may not be heard until November. And even though he's clearly lost a step, compared to the player he once was, he seems to be over the hip injury that was bothering him last season, and could surprise in terms of power. Granted, I nearly added Justin Smoak (1B - SEA) instead, but I suppose he can be my fallback option, in case A-Rod implodes, or his appeal is expedited.

-Added Wei-Yin Chen (SP - BAL); dropped Jedd Gyorko (2B - SD)
I probably held on to Gyorko a little longer than I should've, in hopes his bat would wake up. But alas, it wasn't to be, so I managed to add a pitcher whose been on fire over the last couple of weeks, and I didn't even need to use a waiver claim to do it.

-Added BJ Upton (OF - ATL); dropped Ichiro Suzuki (OF - NYY)
There's simply no way the elder Upton is this bad. He's bound to turn it around at some point, and since coming off the DL, his bat has started to come alive. So I think it's very well possible that he could bring his average up to about .220 or .230 by season's end. And he seems to running a lot more, as he stole 2 bases just last night. So, I figured I'd roll the dice. Why not?

-Added Ivan Nova (SP - NYY); dropped Jeremy Hellickson (SP - TB)
Hellickson served me well while he was hot, but he appears to be imploding down the stretch, whereas Nova has really been pitching well. So this move was simply a hot/cold swap.

-Added Mike Moustakas (3B - KC); dropped Nelson Cruz (OF - TEX)
As shitty as the whole Biogenesis debacle was, it actually worked out fairly well for me, because I was able to pick up a backup 3B in place of David Wright (3B - NYM). And Moustakas is another cold bat that appears to be coming alive in recent weeks. There's simply no way he's as bad as he has been, so I'm buying a comeback. I expect him to stay red hot down the stretch.
