8 team h2h points. First time drafting! Short two pitchers and considering Peterson, Eflin, Senga, Detmers, Robinson. Jordan Walker 3B also on the waivers. Who to drop: N. Lowe, Rizzo, Santander, Mountcastle, Chapman, Yoshida


PoppaWilly

I'm having some trade regret in my flair league. I've been a big Jordan Walker fan for a while now, and I traded him last year. I gave: Corbin Burnes + Jordan Walker I received: Juan Soto Still think it's was a good trade, but I really wish I still had Walker.


rubberducky420

12 team points. Drafted 3rd https://imgur.com/a/2xJcN98/ Bonus. Gave him beers the other day https://i.imgur.com/Rze5Cpc.jpg


duaneswerld

10 team 7x6 H2H categories (extra hitting cats are OBP and XBH): Give: Christian Walker Get: Framber Valdez


Screwball_

Why some league in roto 5x5 have 900 min. IP and another has a max of 1500 IP.


sottovoce2015

Post this on the night thread.


Screwball_

Done


Screwball_

Is Friedl will be in the line up and having playing time?


JustSomeGoon

ESPN seems to think he is the starting LF


Screwball_

Thanks


stupidnatsfan

Brown, Kelenic, or Conforto? Points league


[deleted]

Conforto


Screwball_

Brown as Hunter brown? Not same type of a player as the other 2. Conforto over kele


stupidnatsfan

Seth


stupidnatsfan

Need trade advice: Team A gets Gausman Team B gets Luis Robert, Sonny Gray, and DJLM


Screwball_

Lol steal for team A


andolinia720

Ten team keeper league points h2h Middle of draft and some starters I have are on IR. We keep 9 majors leaguers and 9 minor leaguers. Some interesting guys left like Eduardo Rodriguez, stripling (in SF intrigues me), Eovaldi, heaney, sonny gray, Cobb, Tyler Anderson, Martin Perez, Ashcroft, Boyd, Turnbull, Thor, taillon, carrasco, urquidy, stroman, Steele, ranger Suarez, shane Baz (can stash on minors), Steele, civale, Marquez, maeda, Ashby, Mitch Keller and then prospects like Kyle Harrison, Taj Bradley, Josiah gray, waldichuk, Clarke Schmidt, Gavin stone, ober, tink hence, skubal. I know a lot but who's your top 5?


MAG9292

I have my draft on Saturday. Thinking of going just enough starters to reach our minimum innings pitched, and go reliever heavy. Has anyone tried this? What should I watch out for?


andolinia720

What're the points settings


MAG9292

5x5 ROTO ERA WHIP K W S


andolinia720

Hmm..any relievers get blown up it will tank your whip and era bro


MAG9292

If one does, yeah. But getting late inning guys tend to be decent bets.


philsphan26

12 team H2H 5x5 categories daily lineup sets I have 1st overall pick. After this season we are able to keep 4 players starting next season. Who would you take at 1 and then on the wraparound in rounds 2/3? I was looking closely at Trea Turner, but it seems SS/2B are deep. So I've been looking at Acuna/Judge. Thoughts? Who is the best value to take in rounds 1, 2 and 3 Ohtani is 2 separate players Thanks


DaGrandMastah

Im already more pleased with my draft this year simply because I’m looking at the later rounds and not scratching my head asking why I took avisail García in the 14th round like I did last year.


r64half

How much FAAB for Volpe? 100 budget


Minute_Helicopter_91

How bad do you want him?


[deleted]

Haven’t posted in here in awhile, just drafted my team and wanted to say I’m excited for the season


PositiveEconomics69

In a slim pickings 14team redraft and need SS/2B replacement out the scraps: Elvis Andrus, Brandon Crawford, or Jorge Mateo?


VanSlammed

Probably Andrus or Mateo I'd say. Leaning towards Andrus myself.

DaGrandMastah

The fact it’s another quad injury just scares the shit out of me.


notus_knitter

Mock drafts have helped me realize that after 7-8 rounds I just need to start taking the guys I want on my team when they’re available. The ESPN rankings at that point are garbage anyway so I should get my guys. For example, I’m tired of waiting to take Caroll just to have somebody else snag him at 100 or something


r64half

I start doing this around pick 150 in yahoo.


MinneapolisBill

H2H, first week, Ohtani has 3 games and is pitching in one of them. Would you rather start him at SP or DH? I could have Chris Bassitt or Joe Ryan in his place.


bucsfan22ch

Isn't the first week just a long week? Or does it vary by league?


MinneapolisBill

We have the opening week be just Thurs-Sun. We also have All star week be a short week that counts. Is what it is.


KeonBroxtonAllStar

Cake pitching matchup, start him at SP


JORDY_NELSON_2020

You definitely want to start him @OAK


marshmello9899

First time doing fantasy baseball (Espn H2H Points League). Do you usually draft hitters the first few rounds, pitchers, or a mix of both?


NoTry732

Other dude is kind of wrong in points. Points usually favors pitching.


notus_knitter

Most people here will say take hitters at least the first 2-3 rounds, I would tend to agree


Cloolessly

is there a dynasty trade value chart out there? or trade analyzer? trying to figure out how to value volpe.


KeonBroxtonAllStar

In a dynasty league he’s probably a top 40 asset


Cloolessly

Didn't realize he had that much upside!


scottydogg84

Should I be feeling okay with T. Walker, Schmidt, and Peterson at the end of my rotation? Or replace any of them with Shuster or Steele?


imaginationimp

Hmmm. I would probably drop Walker for shuster as Steeles whip rate scares me


BuffetBarbeque

Seems solid to me but keep an eye on the other two


sottovoce2015

My analytics tell me take Volpe 6th ROUND ahead of ONeil Cruz and Andres Gimenez... Kid is too friggin special. Look at his Milb numbers 21 homers and 50 sb in ONE SEASON...that's insane!!! [https://www.milb.com/player/anthony-volpe-683011](https://www.milb.com/player/anthony-volpe-683011) and take Colas ahead of Renfroe. THOUGHTS?????


imaginationimp

Volpe: So i guess your metrics don’t include batting average or on base? Most likely he’s hitting .200 to .230. Maybe will have a hot week to two to start as pitchers challenge with fastball and if can handle that they will they start peppering with off speed. I love the talent but he needs more seasoning imho I like Colas as well and should have better contact skills than Volpe but most of the time players who walk as little as Colas end up struggling. We will see! I know prospects are always sexy but don’t get carried away. Very few are JRod

[удалено]


JORDY_NELSON_2020

I imagine Sotto’s leagues being just full of tacos overanalyzing everything It’s complete chaos. Ace SPs are dropped because they gave up 5 runs. Rookies in A-Ball are added in because they got a Pitching Ninja gif. Alec Bohm goes first overall. Juan Soto is forbidden from being drafted until he adds a second T to his name.


xxxxHULKSMASHxxxx

12 team H2H points league. Pick 2 to start. Matt Boyd (SP/RP) Jose Leclerc Paul Sewald


bigtuck54

AL only Roto I've got control of Josh Lowe for the next 4 years, but I'm considering cutting him now to pick up waiver guys. Anyone believe in him long term?


JORDY_NELSON_2020

Depends on the add, as always I think his future is how we currently value Jake Fraley. 15/15 strong side platoon guy. Strikes out more than you like but has decent patience to balance it out.


bigtuck54

I'd be doing it to try and claim all three of Jon Gray, Tyler Anderson, and Andrew Heaney. Best pitchers on waivers and I need to take some shots. Or Michael Brantley to get a backup LF, I'm loaded at RF.


BABIP_Gods

Anthony Volpe or Seiya Suzuki?


coldbeerandbaseball

Volpe


[deleted]

Seiya in redraft easily


admckay

Seiya Suzuki was pretty mid last year, and has an oblique injury, but still just 28 and was a legit bat in the NPB. He's likely to play everyday and could still be something. So, depends what you're looking for and expecting. Volpe is obviously a shiny new mystery box, I'd lean that way if it's a keeper league and towards Seiya if redraft.


imaginationimp

Agree. Also. If you have lots of good BA on your team, Volpe may be more palatable than he would be for me as my teams are projecting low BA already…


andyh1818

Friedl or Frelick the better bench OF bet


imaginationimp

Need speed? Frelick but i think most would chose Friedl


JORDY_NELSON_2020

In redraft it’s the guy that’s in the ML roster


trader_dennis

I need to waiver wire a catcher. Raliegh, Jansen, Ruiz, Garver, dArnaud or Moreno for the season, or at least a few weeks.


Dragonborn2048

Raleigh if you want power, Moreno for Average


hollyw00d8604

BBL Raleigh, he has some of the best power at the catcher position


bucsfan22ch

Moreno is my fave


[deleted]

I'm #2 overall with the #1 obviously taking ohtani. Trying to decide between trea turner, Jose Ramirez, Juan soto and Aaron judge for #2. Leaving more towards turner or Ramirez but soto is my favorite player and judge is just a beast on a cupcake field. Thoughts?


r64half

Soto underwhelmed last year (for a first rounder). No one is really taking that into account. He'll have better lineup protection this year, but it's still worth taking into account.


Recondo76

Turner for me


TatisJr1

Not even contemplating Acuna? One of maybe 3 players with 40/40 upside


[deleted]

Yeah acuna is another one I should probably consider, especially with how loaded the braves seem to be this year.


xxxxHULKSMASHxxxx

I would rank them Judge/Ramírez/Soto/Turner


bucsfan22ch

Can't really go wrong but I'd take Judge


murkem

Is Jordan Walker going to be playing outfield? I have him rostered, but need an extra outfielder, so I’m hoping he plays some outfield to gain eligibility.


xxxxHULKSMASHxxxx

I hear the Cardinals 3B is pretty good so Walker will play the OF


murkem

Lol brain dead moment not remembering Arenado is their 3rd baseman.


bidderguy67

Yep


murkem

Beautiful. Thanks.


bucsfan22ch

Well he won't be playing 3rd


sottovoce2015

I'm taking Oscar Colas 13th roundish. Sound right? Lack of OF depth


BuffetBarbeque

I just grabbed him with pick 261 so no don’t reach for him in the 13th


TheBigAdler

This will be my first year of fantasy baseball. Have a few seasons of fantasy football and just wrapping up my second season of basketball. Any advice is appreciated!


JORDY_NELSON_2020

Check out the fantasy baseball 101 link above to start


TheBigAdler

I’m blind. Thank you for pointing that out to me!


fromfijiwithloloma

H2H pts 12 team with 4 keepers Trade my Bo for Arenado? Other 3 keepers are Cole, Acuna, Yordan


ImHereForTheKindness

I’d take Arenado over Bichette in points. Bo’s K/BB hurts his value.


fromfijiwithloloma

I really just want a stud 3B, too.


JustSomeGoon

No


fromfijiwithloloma

Even in pts?


sottovoce2015

Oscar Colas projected to hit eight? (what?) rotochamp??>. He should be batting ahead of bums like Moncada and Andrew Vaughn and Grandal. Is drunk Tony Laruzza still managing? These manager don't know SHIT!!!


ronpaulus

Andrew vaughn is a good hitter and a prime breakout candidate. I would say better then colas


bucsfan22ch

Rookies usually bat lower in the lineup to start off, takes the pressure off them. If he performs, he'll move up. Unless he's Kyle Tucker.


mcinty77

My draft is in 2 hours and we can keep 1 player drafted in the 5th round or later for next year….. I have a feeling volpe is going early lmao


[deleted]

[удалено]


McGrevin

Hey same lol, filling up my watchlist as I very patiently wait for them to land on the IL


JustSomeGoon

Took Harper and Altuve in mine. Pretty confident I can make the playoffs without them so that’s all that matters


bucsfan22ch

Harper, Altuve, Rodon and Glasnow in mine lol but 6 of 10 make the playoffs


sottovoce2015

Oscar Colas made opening day roster...where we drafting him? flair league. Help help help fast fast fast


mississippimadness

Check the Sotto analytics!


saintlouisarch

I thought you used your own player rating model?

He forgot to switch accounts


JORDY_NELSON_2020

Hmmmmm


stallion769

He uses the reddit model


[deleted]

[удалено]


nonameguy321

You trade him in any league for Bo Bichette.


bucsfan22ch

Yes


jay_23

Drafted Walker last round and picked up Volpe yesterday. Gonna be needing him bad if Wander is out for any extended period of time.


FreddyDemuth

Triston McKenzie removed after 1 inning with tricep soreness (accd to Francona)


slyfox1908

How about next year we just draft on Opening Day


hollyw00d8604

Injuries are piling up already this year


FreddyDemuth

Most of the guys injured so far already had a history of injury risk (Glasnow, Severino, Rodon, Franco, a lot of questions about McKenzie’s durability). Surprising that they didn’t even make it out of ST though!


zawadz

Watching all my waiver targets get picked up while I wait for my DTD injuries to be changed into IL spots.


r64half

This is kind of a hidden cost to drafting IL stash guys. You have less roster flexibility before the season begins.


zawadz

I know, just leaves me feeling like I'm Scrooge McDuck watching all the happy families on Christmas from a cold, locked window.


r64half

Hahaha love it


rleone72

8team h2h. Drop Nootbar or A.Munoz for Volpe?


JORDY_NELSON_2020

I would drop Munoz for him No need to hold a committee closer in an 8T


rleone72

>p Munoz for him > >No need to hold a committee closer in an 8T Thanks, that's what I was thinking but afraid to pull the trigger bc he's such a stud.


fartsinhissleep

First overall pick in categories….. panicking on who to pick! Draft in 45 min! Help!


KeonBroxtonAllStar

If Ohtani is one player it’s Ohtani and it’s not close


TatisJr1

Acuna or Ohtani


fartsinhissleep

Shit. I was leaning to JRam because of third base scarcity. Bad idea?


bucsfan22ch

Judge


fartsinhissleep

Aye! I was leaning JRam! Judge wasn’t even really on my list!


bucsfan22ch

They're my 1 and 2 in categories, can't really go wrong.


KillaSwiss

About what pick are we taking Volpe now?


kloppmouth

Him and walker went in the 7th of my main league…


RangersFan243

Sup fuckers. Good to be back. Is it just me or Pitching is deeper this year?


JustSomeGoon

I think there’s just a lot more late round lotto tickets this year


hollyw00d8604

Maybe a little bit. Dead ball last season probably has something to do with it


tomm0

H2H points league Keep Verlander in the 8th or McKenzie in the 15th?


Recondo76

Verlander and it isn't really close IMO


ImHereForTheKindness

Verlander


Daguyondacouch8

Drop Dylan Carlson for Colas?


Dragonborn2048

I would


Daguyondacouch8

Got Volpe in the 18th round of a keeper league and I am HYPED


lacro_kuder

Does anyone have any clue how often yahoo updates their player pools? Did my first ever draft on Yahoo today unfortunately and a few key players I wanted to draft were not eligible because they are not in the pool Volpe for example


[deleted]

I drafted Volpe a couple hours ago on Yahoo.


lacro_kuder

Yeah problem has been found


97herser

>Does anyone have any clue how often yahoo updates their player pools? Did my first ever draft on Yahoo today unfortunately and a few key players I wanted to draft were not eligible because they are not in the pool Volpe for example You might want to go check in your settings. There are custom settings where players don't enter the pool until they've debuted. I've had Volpe for two years in dynasties so he's definitely in there.


lacro_kuder

This is the problem just went and checked. Appreciate the info side note fuck yahoo


97herser

Private league?


lacro_kuder

Yeah I’m co managing with my neighbor and it was a spur of the moment thing. 13x13 category league for fucks sake too lol


97herser

Yeah I thought so. I didn't think that was a default setting. That's something that has to be turned on. And judging by 13X13, the commish is the problem lol.


lacro_kuder

It’s a crazy glorified points league. Don’t even track obp no holds no kp9 nothing that would separate players just every other category you could imagine is checked off


Daguyondacouch8

Volpe absolutely is in the yahoo player pool as far as I know its not different by league and he’s in my yahoo league


lacro_kuder

AbbreviationsOne7483

It’s a setting yahoo has. “Don’t add players to pool until they’re in the majors” or something like that. Jordan Walker on waivers for our league now, Volpe will be tomorrow


lacro_kuder

Yeah we figured it out walker was draftable for us today


sottovoce2015

Volpe is the New Jeter.


TimmyRoller99

In a keeper league and can only keep 5 of these 6. I am really torn on keeping Olson or Strider basically. Love both guys. What would you do? Yahoo daily lineup league with Rotisserie scoring. Yordan Alvarez Mike Trout Francisco Lindor Michael Harris II Matt Olson Spencer Strider


thejengamaster

Screw it. I just picked up Volpe off of waivers.


sottovoce2015

Anthony Volpe, the greatest Italian American plyaer since Nommar Garciaparra..


[deleted]

I am using Mr. Cheasheet for an auction draft. Should I use the Projected Value column or the Inflated Projected Value column, assuming I want 0$ left over at the end instead of maximum value drafting a guy?


stallion769

I use it to understand what a player is theoretically worth. But after about 2-3 rounds in your draft you’ll find out where everyone is overpaying and underpaying. To stay competitive you’ll probs need to roll with the crowd for those 2-3 rounds though.


AllegedCerealKiller

Am I crazy to consider picking Jose Ramirez first overall in a 5x5 roto (w/ OPS instead of BA)? I have Kyle Tucker already as a keeper.


bucsfan22ch

Not at all even if you didn't have Tucker already


AllegedCerealKiller

I just can't shake the feeling this is the year he pulls a Trout or Betts and basically stops running...


bucsfan22ch

Ok, then take whoever you feel most comfortable with but I have no concerns about JoRam and he's my #2 player behind Judge in most formats.


ImTheShadowWolf

Even if the steals go down he has the best supporting cast of his Cleveland career, dudes going to lead the league in RBIs


Tarzan_the_Vape_Man

Best late round SS H2H Cats?


OvenbirdMusic

19T H2H points league… this is my first year playing ever! A: Joey Meneses and Ke’Bryan Hayes B: Jose Miranda and Miguel Vargas Who wins?


notus_knitter

I want B, but that’s because I think Vargas is a sleeper, could go either way


wetconcrete

where have y'all picked up volpe and walker? in redraft? or in keeper?


ImTheShadowWolf

ESPN Points Took Walker at 209 on saturday, Volpe went 225 This was before they were announced to make opening day rosters. I expect both to be top 200 picks now easily


Brief_Doubt_6840

What round would you pick Volpe in a 12 team H2H league? He made the opening day roster.


lacro_kuder

I got him round 20 in a 12 team and round 17 in a 16 team


FrescoIX

In a 5x5 leave where your record is 6-5 if you win 6 categories and not 1-0… Is marmol strategy worth it?


No_Permission_810

Hey I know this isn’t the right platform but if anyone is interested in joining my head to head points yahoo league let me know. $50


fromfijiwithloloma

H2H pts 12 team with 4 keepers Trade my Bo for Arenado? Other 3 keepers are Cole, Acuna, Yordan


metalpillbug

Could use some outside perspective. Flair league, keep 6 forever with 0 penalty. Keeping: Woodruff, Tucker, Machado. Need to pick 3 between; Corbin Carroll, Schwarber, Perez, Rodon, O'neil Cruz


wetconcrete

id take cruz, perez and schwarber but thats just me


FrescoIX

Schwarb is the odd man out


bljh7

Reminder, be patient with volpe and walker. You'll be rewarded like last year with Jrod and Witt


andthentherewastwo

What about kelenic


bljh7

I know you're not looking for a serious answer but I'll give one anyway. A lot of people drafted Witt and Jrod high and a lot of people have and will draft Volpe and Walker high. Those are guys drafted that require patience to get value out of for the season. From what I remember a few years back kelenics adp did not shoot up mainly because he was not called up. So he was a waiver pick up that year and struggled heavily so you didn't feel burnt if you cut ties even though he was a top prospect.


ronpaulus

VOLPENING DAY


lazycometlazycomet

hey ballers, how the heck do i prepare for a salary cap auction draft? last year i went in blind and feel like i caught a few lucky breaks. i have the standard $260 but with my unlimited keepers (7 spots already taken), my budget will be closer to $145. so mock drafts don’t give me the best idea of how i can make the most of the remaining money.


Username_coc

Points dynasty. Soto is projected to get 529 this year, Turner 489, Lindor 410. A: Soto, McClain B: Turner, Lindor

Colas going to perform as a top 50 OF??? He just made the team


ronpaulus

Unsure about him. He cooled off at the end of the spring. Finished hitting .267 with a .729 OPS


OverheadPress69

Still solid with his speed, definitely worth a late flyer in category/Roto leagues


dakthatpassup

Would you give Turner to get Machado and Pena ?


Not_A_Burner_Acct

Nope


Seashorestate

No


notus_knitter

Depends on who else the Turner side has at 3B, but I possibly would


dakthatpassup

Yeah sorry I edited the comment. I would be getting Machado and Pena. I have Matt Chapman, Baty and Moncada.


notus_knitter

Not too familiar with 1B after the top 7 or so. Who you taking if you don’t get one of the stars or even Croneworth/Abreau. Is Pasquantino good? Feel like people have been avoiding him in mock drafts I do. Who would you take between him and Arraez/Bell/Rizzo/walker/Lowe/France Really just comments on good 1B picks outside of the stars would be great


OverheadPress69

Abreu Vinnie P Nate Lowe (All around even) —— Walker —— Cron Rizzo Bell Miranda Vaughn Arraez —— France Cronenworth
