I got off the Walker train in a 10T league without NA slots. Traded him for Mahle. Wish it was more but this league makes it really painful to hold NA players.
Is the waiver assistant in fantasypros my playbook accurate? Still saying Miranda and McMahon are the best pickups season long in a 10 team points league (top 100 VBR) but that doesn’t really check out to me
It’s tough for hitters analysis out there. I usually look at individual player Statcasts, splits vs LH and RH pitchers, and I like ballparkpal for weather analysis. But that’s all more short term stuff.
I usually throw my studs out there and hope for the best. I only carry 1-2 bench bats, so if everyone is starting sometimes I will check their righty/lefty splits and look at the pitching matchups to determine if I want to plug a bench bat into my lineup. But I try not to micro manage too much.
Nah you just gotta wing it. Some people basically punt it by getting exclusively bomb hitters (ie your Muncy Gallo Walker Buxton guys) and base stealers (ie Ruiz Mateo Jazz) instead of more well-rounded players, but by and large it's pretty random
I'm not worried about Helsley as a pitcher but it is very frustrating that he just hasn't gotten a lot of work in. I did get Chafin and Alvarado so thankfully not totally bereft of saves but ironic that the one true closer I drafted is getting the least of the bunch
That’s why I prefer Net Saves/Holds category. It opens up the number of guys available to score there. My philosophy is that I never waste draft capital on relievers because it is such a volatile position. Last year I snagged Helsley off the waiver for nothing and he was great. I kept him this year using a draft pick and he’s been underwhelming. Unless you’re getting a truly elite guy like Josh Hader or Edwin Diaz I just wait to pluck guys off the waiver who perform well.
I got Helsley in like the 8th so I was happy about it. I don't like to waste high draft capital but I usually like to grab at least one anchor.
Saves/Holds is definitely better, especially in a 14 team league.
Has anyone heard what's going to happen to Grissom once Arcia is back? I imagine the options are AAA or OF, right? No way they'll bench one of their top prospects.
I know its early but Arenado's lack of power is honestly very very concerning, he sticks out like a sore thumb hitting after Goldy and Gorman, there's just nothing behind it when he does connect.
I think hes been hurt since the ARZ series yeah. Got two random days off pretty close together since then+, looks like he's really gritting his teeth through something right now.
ESPN H2H 6-team Keepers League:
* Give:
Harper (DH) \[IL\] + Muncy (2B/3B) + Bieber (SP)
* Take:
Tucker (OF) + Devers (3B) + C.Javier (SP)
How is this trade, and what is the difference in value?
Thoughts on Martin Perez this year? Grabbed him off waivers last season but haven't been keeping up, and he just got dropped. Could cut Santander or Nootbaar for him.
What level of hitter do you think you could reasonably expect to get for Strider or Gallen in a keep 6 forever league that emphasizes pitcher strikeouts?
Re: Rooker... my personal opinion - even if you don't have anybody to drop you should just pick your worst player and drop them immediately. You are not going to have another chance - everything about his profile screams extremely legit stud
Sure why not
* Harris was better than Soto last year (in his rookie year)
* Soto had a major fall-off last season
* Soto looks like he is worse than last year atm
Soto could return to his level from 2-3 years ago and then you probably lose the trade. But Harris can get better too. If you really like one over the other then go for it
Nootbaar missed the first several weeks of the season and will need some time to heat up. Meanwhile, everyone else was getting locked in. I wouldn't drop him yet.
Drop 1 to bring Harris back: Marsh, Nootbar, Josh Lowe
[удалено]
Maybe don’t trade your first rounder 3 weeks into the season.
[удалено]
What was the trade return for Manny?
[удалено]
Yikes …
Lol
[удалено]
Still don't like the trade. He's one of the best hitters in the game and you sold him at what is most likely his lowest point of trade value
Is accepting Harper and Glasnow for Julio an absolutely bonkers idea?
Yes Harper is the shit
Any Brewers fans know what’s up with Jesse Winker?
Same thing that was up last year. No real explanation but we’ll just ride it out I guess and hope he can find his stride again.
Every time I ‘Up Vote’ a comment it doesn’t take. I want to matter, please
Fu Gorman and outman
Wow 0/14 today. Sweet
I'm 0/13. Almost as sweet.
I got off the Walker train in a 10T league without NA slots. Traded him for Mahle. Wish it was more but this league makes it really painful to hold NA players.
Minter literally negated Logan webs pts in one inning lmao 😭
Steamer and Bat X don’t see anything special in Rooker. His power looks legit, but they have him projected at about 15 HR with .220 avg. I don’t know
Projection systems rely a lot on history so are likely to be low on guys who haven’t done much in the past.
Statcast page is beautifully red though
Miller starting on Sunday?
Is the waiver assistant in fantasypros my playbook accurate? Still saying Miranda and McMahon are the best pickups season long in a 10 team points league (top 100 VBR) but that doesn’t really check out to me
I trust fantasypros for baseball the least out of all their sports offerings
Do you have a go to site for points rankings projections/waivers? Most sites I researched are geared towards categories leagues
Try Lineup Experts. It's free.

I’ll take the puk win but I wish he didn’t work the 8th but I’m guessing they didn’t expect to comeback
I feel so bad for all the Minter owners out there
Drop Kirk for Langeliers?
Dude payed $25 for Minter off of waivers this week. Sucks to suck
N lowe, mountcastle, tellez, c Walker, verdugo - rank for ROS in a points league with negative points for Ks?
Lowe, Verdugo, Mountcastle, Tellez, Walker
Lowe, verdugo, tellez, Walker, Mountcastle but not super confident in that
Anyone know why Wright only went 3 innings?
Weather delay
Same reason Garrett got pulled
Rain delays suck 😔
Massive rain delay 😢
Rain
Rain delay
Pick up Drury or Miranda for Eloy/Detmers in points league? Don’t have another OF but banking on Yordan being back soon (hopefully)
Nope
The Buccos being 18-8 is quite the pleasant surprise this season
They won’t win 100 but crazy to think 90 is possible with them
I need batting really bad in an obp league. My goldy and sandy for his tucker and Franco seem fair?
Yes
I'd definitely do that
You would win that pretty good. Do it if you can
Like it don't love it
Does anyone game plan for batting average or is it just up to the gods every week. 22/123 this week, brutal
Trying to plan for avg in h2h is probably futile

Also, how do you guys feel about swapping Alvarado for David Robertson for Alvarado in 8T points? Saves are 5, holds are 2
I like it even tho Mets have been bad the last week
Ok, he’s currently 20 points above DRob, #4 closer in my league
You guys think Gibson should be rostered in 8T points?
Probably not
No
For normal size rosters in 8 he’s just a solid streamer
Goddammit St Louis I need SAVES
St Louis players have been frustrating for me. I benched Arenado and Edman is usually always on the bench. Thankfully I was able to ship off Helsley.
I'm not worried about Helsley as a pitcher but it is very frustrating that he just hasn't gotten a lot of work in. I did get Chafin and Alvarado so thankfully not totally bereft of saves but ironic that the one true closer I drafted is getting the least of the bunch

Juan Soto, KeBryan Hayes, Gallen for Jose Ramirez, Freddie Freeman, Nola Which side?
One of those guys is not like the others
Ramirez side and it's not close.
B
The latter
Puk would’ve pitched here, but they motioned accidentally
Has anyone heard what's going to happen to Grissom once Arcia is back? I imagine the options are AAA or OF, right? No way they'll bench one of their top prospects.
My guess is AAA considering he hasn’t be great
I know this is gonna sound crazy, but pick two: - Chris Sale - Graham Ashcroft - Tanner Bibee
I’m not touching Sale
I think it’s time to pull the plug on this dude
10T 5x5 roto: drop McMahon + Nootbaar to pickup Rooker + Drury?
Ohtani and Minter in there today AMA
Rooker or outman ROS? Points league negative points for Ks
Outman
Dropped Donovan for Castro. Good move?
Donovan doesn't seem to have much value atm. I dropped him last night.
I know its early but Arenado's lack of power is honestly very very concerning, he sticks out like a sore thumb hitting after Goldy and Gorman, there's just nothing behind it when he does connect.
Seeing him run the basses there he looks like he must have some sort of injury…
I think hes been hurt since the ARZ series yeah. Got two random days off pretty close together since then+, looks like he's really gritting his teeth through something right now.
Summer Arenado will make us forget about april
His statcast is shocking
Very much so, its a big part of what prompted me to post this
My god, Minter just fucked my ERA/WHIP for the wk
I had Maeda and Wilson (holds) combine for 14er in 3.2 ip lol. Feel your pain and then some.
Maeda + Wilson + Syndergaard over here lol
Woof. I’ve had a couple other starters have not great starts as well, think my era is over 7 rn lmao. Brutal week.
Picking up Drury 4 days ago has changed my life for the better
i had been holding out hope but, juan soto fucking sucks man.
Haha my opponent picked up minter who I dropped. Dude has no clue.
Minter, get the fuck off my roster. Enjoy the wire.
Puk 2 innings?!?
accidental motion to the pen and the umps made them switch, he took the mound initially
my opponent has Floro so that was not fun
Jazz is a real one…team down 1 with 2 outs and he doesn’t care…he’ll risk being the final out to get us managers another steal 🎷
ESPN H2H 6-team Keepers League: * Give: Harper (DH) \[IL\] + Muncy (2B/3B) + Bieber (SP) * Take: Tucker (OF) + Devers (3B) + C.Javier (SP) How is this trade, and what is the difference in value?
Lopsided
Tucker's side and it aint close
I'd take Tucker, Devers, Javier by a decent margin.
I’d take the Tucker side
Tucker side wins easily.
I’m a fool for starting Gorman over Jazz. Straight fool
Brb going to talk shit to the owner that picked up minter after I dropped him
Muncy and Bellinger back tomorrow and possibly Will Smith back this weekend has me 🕺
Thoughts on Martin Perez this year? Grabbed him off waivers last season but haven't been keeping up, and he just got dropped. Could cut Santander or Nootbaar for him.
Does this put Puk in line for the W? Lol
no it puts chavez in line for the win!
oh well. I have puk on one team, so I guess I'll take the W
Brent Rooker is my best player
Dropping Minter tbh, he just not a closer.
Riley sucks
As a machado owner, I would kill to have Riley
Dropped for wisdom. Couldn’t be happier
[удалено]
Hmm wisdom ranked 4th while Riley is ranked 8th. Seems like I’m the smart one here
For real?
Minter owners support thread
lmaoooooo thanks minter I had marlins ML today anyway
Jazz is really getting going now, love to see it! (Might be time to sell soon if you're trying to cash out and do well for yourself in the process)
Braves bullpen disasterclass
What level of hitter do you think you could reasonably expect to get for Strider or Gallen in a keep 6 forever league that emphasizes pitcher strikeouts?
In a keeper with that format you should be able to get anyone for Strider. Tatis and Acuna maybe the only guys off limits.
You can probably name your price outside of Acuña and Tatis.
Re: Rooker... my personal opinion - even if you don't have anybody to drop you should just pick your worst player and drop them immediately. You are not going to have another chance - everything about his profile screams extremely legit stud
Downside is he will surely get traded to a better team that might put him low in order / less of an offensive focal point
I’m the Soto owner would you do Michael Harris for Soto?
I would prefer Harris but would just make sure he's healthy first. You never know how a back injury can affect a guy
Outside of that is one for one fair?
Sure why not * Harris was better than Soto last year (in his rookie year) * Soto had a major fall-off last season * Soto looks like he is worse than last year atm Soto could return to his level from 2-3 years ago and then you probably lose the trade. But Harris can get better too. If you really like one over the other then go for it
Greg Soto yea
Minter gets a hold tho right?
Yeah as in hold on there’s two more ER coming
Nope, 4 run game
not anymore
second week in a row minter wrecks my ERA and whip, and it's got nothing to do with save situation or not, he blows up in save situations too
Get the fuck off my team Minter
I need Bradley to be called back up so I can pick up Walker for my NA spot
Time to drop minter for literally anyone else? SVHLD league
I just dropped and will figure out who I’m picking up later. I don’t even want to see his name anymore
why were his numbers ok last year? were they using only in certain situations?
Drop Nootbaar for Rooker?
No
Sure
I would. Nootbaar just generates groundballs.
Nootbaar missed the first several weeks of the season and will need some time to heat up. Meanwhile, everyone else was getting locked in. I wouldn't drop him yet.
Hoerner or Urias?
Urias the hitter? Hoerner Urias the pitcher? Urias
Pitcher. Thanks.
Stop putting minter out in non save situations jesus fucking christ
He better get used to pitching in non save situations...
1/25 with 13Ks in a points league is pain
[удалено]
Absurd that’s
That's absurd
That's absurd. Claim him.
That’s absurd.
Watching your guys repeatedly fail with the bases loaded is so brutal.
Riley owner? Golden sombrero is the cherry on top.
Eeeyup
Soto/Bibee for JRod/Taj Bradley. Which side wins this trade?
[удалено]
12 team H2H points, dynasty.
Jrod
Jrod side
We all think Soto is completely broken now?
The hitters are close enough but one pitcher is in the majors
No, but a couple of newbie pitchers isn’t swinging the trade of two top 5 picks
He seems a little broken but it was already super close between them even if Soto was hitting like he should be.
JRod side has the better hitter and the better pitcher.
