This is a situation where I think fantasy and reality collide. Hanrahan was undrafted in our 13-team roto league two years ago when he was projected as Bucs closer, despite getting him at free agent price and having an all-star season, I couldnt deal the guy, nobody wanted him. Then fast forward to 2012 offseason, I didnt keep him and actually got him back for $1 less and did trade him, but for very little in return. Reality is I think that teams either already had situations they liked at closer OR didnt value Hanrahan enough to give up anything worth while.
The Bucs actually have a lot of potential upside guys who have emerged over the last year through trade or opportunity: Snider, Sands, Liriano and now Grilli.

I think they should have just kept Hanrahan since they made a few moves to improve the club this year and just see how they stand at the deadline. THey could have gotten much more from him then, he's a top closer and even at 7M he will still be cheaper than what Soriano is asking for on the market.
Even though they signed to guys to decent sized deals, they didn't really up payroll too much when you consider money is off the books and they traded Hanrahan,
The team looks set now for the most part but they still need to add a reliever or two and I wouldn't mind seeing a trade of an extra outfielder and maybe search for 5th-6th starter types on minor league deals. I would bring back Karstens if he takes 3M or so and sign Mike Gonzalez.
QB- Ryan
RB- Brown, McFadden
WR- Julio Jones, Wayne
TE- Myers
Flex- Decker
K- Barth
DEF- Bengals
Bench- Dalton, Ridley, Ballard, Moreno, Givens.
My "teams"- Pirates, Nats, Steelers, Packers, and anyone else who my fantasy studs play for.

Deal is now official.
I wonder if Melancon can reclaim the success he had with the Astros, if so then the deal isn't as bad as I first thought.

Add to that the idea that Melancon could be a nice piece if he can get back to what he was doing in the NL Central and the deal has some potential for Pittsburgh.

Melancon might make a nice sleeper in holds leagues in case grilli falters. Melancon was pretty good after those early hilarious meltdowns.

Idea for the Pirates was Cole or Taillon (pick 1), Starling Marte, Henson (or some other positional prospect).
What do you guys think? They considered Stanton a transformational franchise bat. Add him in there behind McCutcheon.
12 team keeper / auction / 5x5 (15 kept standard roto roster)
Week 8 lineup (5/20 - 5/26)

Pirates would never do that.. ive never seen the Pirates make a big move like that ever, and I dont expect them to trade their top prospects for a position they are deepest at
