Brett Lawrie's existence is a boil on my aXX

What does the gallery think of him for the long-term? I'm not going anywhere with Kendry Morales as my only first baseman. I have loads of underachievers. I've drafted him early for two years, and we can keep 7. For each one you keep, you lose an early round draft pick. (So if you keep 4, you lose your first four picks.) 

I've been thinking he'll turn into a 20/20 .290 guy in a loaded offense. But Toronto, like Zima, zucks this year. But in an 18-team league, getting a few folks early and holding onto them is the way to build a dynasty.

3.3% of his batted balls have been line drives thus far, really an incredible number.

That really means his approach is completely screwed up, he's either hitting it in the dirt or flying out. That 2011 production was insane - he destroyed AAA pitching and then was a monster at the ML level. You kinda do have to wait things out in an 18-teamer? I can't imagine there is much waiting for you on the wire.

As for your thread title...

You're probably right, Matt. There isn't much on the wire, and I doubt I would get anything in a trade.
