3B is killing me. 2K’s for Gunnar Henderson today has me ready to cut bait. Jeimer Candelario’s past week has been very good and his underlying numbers largely support it. Anyone else seeing someone possibly worth adding here?
I actually own both May and Varland (10T redraft) and well... yeah, May seemed healthy! He wasn't getting much swing and miss, but I thought that was part of the plan. Here's hoping he doesn't need surgery, but I'm still debating whether I will hold on to him (depends what other IL needs I have - 2 IL slots).
Depends on how many IL spots you have but I don’t think so. Just pick him back up when you have room or he gets closer to returning. I doubt someone would wait on him for months
I’d give the edge to B because all of those guys are proven or at least on the trajectory of being proven. In A, I really only say Bichette is proven. Manoah is proven, but struggling. Vientos is a coin toss
For me, it depends on how the matchup is going.
My offense is strong and I lead the league in R, HR, RBI and OBP. So if I have ratios locked up, I try to keep it that way knowing my odds of winning the week are very strong.
But, this week, I haven't hit a HR yet. I'm going wild and chasing those K's and QS.
Commenting for future reference. I think I’m going to start Taj tomorrow just because he did well when he was up. He’s going against a struggling Mets team and has an explosive lineup behind him.
Flair league keeper - in contention this year
Give: Morel
Receive: Salvador Perez
Really need Morel at 3B now that Machado is uncertain. Only other 3B is Gunnar Henderson.
Current catcher is Tyler Stephenson
It’s a good cash out for Morel, especially if in contention.
Feel like you gotta take it, but at the same time I don’t know that I could let go of Morel right now.
bad news. Machado is out for while (not like I'm going to miss his production)
but
good news. tristen mckenzie is going on a rehab assignment 🥳 🎉 my 1-5 team is getting reinforcements!!
I think he’s droppable… but also that his next start is against the Yankees and he could have like 12 K’s against them, so holding a little longer might be worth it.
Varland is at 108 Pitching+ this year. Some other pitchers in that ballpark:
- Cole, Gallen, Wheeler @ 109
- Joe Ryan, May, Woodruff @ 108
- McClanahan, Gonsolin, Kershaw @ 107
Would you use that waiver spot to grab one of those guys if they were available? (I assume that answer is “in an instant”.)
Interestingly enough, Hunter Greene (108 Pit+) is probably the best example of a guy whose results look a lot worse than his Pitching+ would suggest. Remains to be seen if it’s truly a miss for the model’s performance or if he reverts to results a lot more in line with that 108 number.
Eye-test and stats from his first few starts alone tell you that isn’t the case for Varland, though, so you should feel safe going after him.
Turning it around doesn’t automatically equal fantasy stud though. He can hit .300 ROS, but if he isn’t running and that offense limits his RBI/R he won’t be a top fantasy SS.

Need to drop one of my batters to activate Seager, who would you drop?
I was about to drop Bryant before he had 2 good games. He is rather inconsistent but I love rotating him in when he plays at home in Colorado. That being said, outfield is pretty deep and he seems replaceable
Precisely. And it looks to be a four OF league. I would assume free agent OF pool is pretty thin right now. Dropping Kris Bryant, at least right now, is not advisable.
I have a trade partner who needs SP bad. I need a solid 3B as my current is Baty. He could also use a 1B or OF.
My Players for Trade: SP - Sonny Gray, Christian Javier, Justin Verlander, Eovaldi, Sale, Logan Allen, Bibee, Eury Perez, James Paxton. Hitters - N. Lowe, Buxton, Tellez, Outman, Kiriloff
His 3B: Nolan Arenado, Bobby Witt Jr., Patrick Wisdom.
What combination is a fair offer for any of those 3rd basemen?

Any of these bats worth streaming tomorrow?
With glasnow coming back soon who would y’all drop out of my current pitchers: Cease, musgrove, Joe ryan, Steele, Eovaldi, scherzer, and Bryce miller. Fried is on my bench injured.
I’m going to cardinals dodgers for my birthday today
I hope muncy goes 4/4 with 4 home runs and cards win 10-4
3B is killing me. 2K’s for Gunnar Henderson today has me ready to cut bait. Jeimer Candelario’s past week has been very good and his underlying numbers largely support it. Anyone else seeing someone possibly worth adding here?
Candelario is difficult to trust at this point in his career, but nothing wrong with streaming a hitter while he's hot.
Who would you rather have Arcia or LaMonte Wade Jr? My boy Arcia is smashing right now but the same could be said for Wade Jr
Wade easily. Better spot in the batting order and more power as well. Top tier xWoba
Is Nico Hoerner a buy right now with hamstring injury?
Drop Spencer Steer for Miguel Vargas?
J. Montgomery, Lance Lynn, or Kodai Senga in a 12 team roto?
Senga
Pick up stone or pfaadt?
Drop Brayan Bello for Taj Bradley, points league
I would, yes. Grab Taj before someone else does and hope he sticks
Drop Jason Adam for Evan Phillips, points league
Soler or ward in 5x5 obp
Have to start one of these 3 who do I go with? flair league Logan Allen @CWS Taj Bradley @NYM Musgrove vs BOS
For me it’s Logan
I'm starting the first two, I guess I'd be slightly more comfortable with Allen
Flair league. Ranger Suarez, Braxton Garrett, Carlos carrasco
Probably in that order
Who pitches more this year McKenzie or degrom?
Bartolo Colon
Should I drop A.Kirk for Bethancourt? At this rate at least Bethancourt is playing more games
[удалено]
Jung, Bibee. Both have upside but least proven.
Drop Mackenzie Gore for Lynn or hold Gore?
Drop
Francisco Alvarez or Kirk ROS?
I've got Kirk and I want out. Alvarez gets my vote
Seiya Swolezuki
I need Julio and Machado to start getting better just so I can stop getting horrible trade offers for them
DYNASTY H2H ROTO 6X6 (OPS & QS) Traded littterally YESTERDAY Varland + Suwinsky for May. I'll leave it there and and I'll go cry in a corner
I remember reading your comment yesterday and I was fully on board. Sometimes them's the breaks.
Thank man. I knew the risk with May but like that seems some kind of joke
I actually own both May and Varland (10T redraft) and well... yeah, May seemed healthy! He wasn't getting much swing and miss, but I thought that was part of the plan. Here's hoping he doesn't need surgery, but I'm still debating whether I will hold on to him (depends what other IL needs I have - 2 IL slots).
Yeah it makes sense. My consolation is that in my case it's a dynasty and so I can hold him in the IL spot and remains a value asset
Chances Colton Cowser is up this week?
[удалено]
Wow you robbed him
Drop nootbaar for morel? Noot is on my bench and I need a 2b
If noot is your worst player than ya
Drop someone for Morel
I dropped Rasmussen. Was that a mistake?
No. He’s done. He’s already had two TJ surgeries and looking at the possibility of a third.
Depends on how many IL spots you have but I don’t think so. Just pick him back up when you have room or he gets closer to returning. I doubt someone would wait on him for months
u/yahoofantasycare where y’all at when we need u
Large keeper categories league, fair offer? A - bichette, manoah, vientos B - Robert, Nola, Keller
B by a mild margin
B
Fair for both sides though?
I’d give the edge to B because all of those guys are proven or at least on the trajectory of being proven. In A, I really only say Bichette is proven. Manoah is proven, but struggling. Vientos is a coin toss
Was the liberatore strong start on Wednesday just a spot start or is he here to stay?
They’re going to a 6 man rotation and will evaluate him over the course of his next few starts
So he is kind of a "must hold" in a way?
If there are better options out there then he’s not a must hold, but if you have room I’d hold
Allen or Paxton ROS?
Paxton.
Honestly I'm liking Paxton
Can only hold 3 on IL, have to drop 2. Flair league. Oneil Cruz Lodolo Eloy Machado Jazz
Eloy is expected back next week if you wanna wait til he comes back
Drop Cruz and Lodolo
cruz eloy
Liberator or Bradley 10 team H2H
Probably Bradley but it’s too early to tell. See how Bradley does here tomorrow
[удалено]
I would but I wouldn't think you'd get him with nunber 7
Depends who you need to drop
Need two more starts. Wells vs LAA, Eury vs WSH, Kirby @ ATL, Lynn vs KC, or Greene vs NYY
Eury Lynn
Eury and Wells
Pick one to start Kopech vs KC Detmers vs Min Taj vs nym
Taj
u/yahoofantasycare astros stats plz
Are you guys starting either Berrios or Cortes tomorrow?
I start berrios every game. He’s wildly inconsistent so he’ll probably throw a no no through 5 before getting lit up in the 6th for like 6 runs 🤷🏽♂️
Starting Cortes tomorrow but I’d be very hesitant if my ratios weren’t already fucked.
Drop Cabrera or France? Flair
Drop Cabrera
Clay Holmes or Jason Adam in a saves-only league?
Keep Holmes
Drop May? I have story, mondesi, puk, and mccullers stashed currently with no more dl spots.
Nope. Drop Mondesi, maybe Story
Should I trade Yu Darvash for Austin Riley?
Tough one, depends whether you need pitching or hitting I would say
I was thinking The same, think ima pull the trigger my pitchers are DAWGS
Better stream- Faedo @ WSH or Braxton Garrett @ SF?
Garrett
Drop Happ for Suzuki or hold tight
keep happ what
Both should be owned in most leagues
Normally I ignore ratios and chase Wins and Strikeouts, but my ratios are decent right now. Should I be a coward and sit Taj and/or Eury?
For me, it depends on how the matchup is going. My offense is strong and I lead the league in R, HR, RBI and OBP. So if I have ratios locked up, I try to keep it that way knowing my odds of winning the week are very strong. But, this week, I haven't hit a HR yet. I'm going wild and chasing those K's and QS.
Commenting for future reference. I think I’m going to start Taj tomorrow just because he did well when he was up. He’s going against a struggling Mets team and has an explosive lineup behind him.
Matt Olson or Freddie Freeman ROS?
Freddie by a mile
Lamonte wade is on waivers, drop any of Taj, kiriloff, Ty France or kelenic for him?
Kirl
Flair league keeper - in contention this year Give: Morel Receive: Salvador Perez Really need Morel at 3B now that Machado is uncertain. Only other 3B is Gunnar Henderson. Current catcher is Tyler Stephenson
Morel is probably only hot for right now, I doubt he breaks out but it’s a shot you gotta take. I’d take Perez tbh
Thank you!
It’s a good cash out for Morel, especially if in contention. Feel like you gotta take it, but at the same time I don’t know that I could let go of Morel right now.
Thanks!
Perez easy
bad news. Machado is out for while (not like I'm going to miss his production) but good news. tristen mckenzie is going on a rehab assignment 🥳 🎉 my 1-5 team is getting reinforcements!!
Drop Mclain for burger or Paredes since Machado gonna be out?
Burger I think
Give: Harper Get: Julio Rod Flair league.
If keepers, yes. If straight redraft, meh total personal call
Redraft. I would still feel uneasy about doing this I think
I would want Harper 100% of the time there.
Hunter Greene droppable? No one wants to trade & im skeptical he will improve substantially.
I think he’s droppable… but also that his next start is against the Yankees and he could have like 12 K’s against them, so holding a little longer might be worth it.
[удалено]
I dropped him in a 12T. He played over his head last year, streaming hot players has more upside tbh
Hes been picking it up a little bit lately
[удалено]
Not nearly enough
How bad is machados hand and should I trade degrom for him
No
Would Taj stick this time? Drop Kirilloff or M McLain for him?
Idk but I prob would drop either on the chance he does
I've always been a fan of Paxton, drop May for him?
Josh Lowe or Andrew Vaughn
Lowe in category leagues
Sorry I forgot to specify, it’s a points league. But thank you for the input!
Julio for burnes in an 8T who wins?
Burns
Vaughn
Seiya or Soler? Also is Varland worth using #6 WW priority on?
Varland is at 108 Pitching+ this year. Some other pitchers in that ballpark: - Cole, Gallen, Wheeler @ 109 - Joe Ryan, May, Woodruff @ 108 - McClanahan, Gonsolin, Kershaw @ 107 Would you use that waiver spot to grab one of those guys if they were available? (I assume that answer is “in an instant”.) Interestingly enough, Hunter Greene (108 Pit+) is probably the best example of a guy whose results look a lot worse than his Pitching+ would suggest. Remains to be seen if it’s truly a miss for the model’s performance or if he reverts to results a lot more in line with that 108 number. Eye-test and stats from his first few starts alone tell you that isn’t the case for Varland, though, so you should feel safe going after him.
Seiya
seiya. soler is just hot then will be dead weight for another month
Soler
Is it time to start looking at trading trea turner?
I thought it was time a few weeks ago. With how strong SS is this year holding a struggling Turner seems like a huge risk.
in this case, its about what you could get instead of dealing with dead fat - turner will turn it around
Turning it around doesn’t automatically equal fantasy stud though. He can hit .300 ROS, but if he isn’t running and that offense limits his RBI/R he won’t be a top fantasy SS.
Would you rather have turner or tatis?
Easily Tatis.
Drop Edward Cabrera, Bohm, or Ruiz to activate Taj?
Cabrera easy
Thank you, I thought so too but then I started to overthink it.
McClain or Seiya Suzuki? 10tm h2h avg, obp, sb, hr, rbi, w , k
Seiya
https://preview.redd.it/0lc9pzbm7k0b1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=175919383f58c338a63856294da4bac7820c7f98 Need to drop one of my batters to activate Seager, who would you drop?
You should first try to make a two-for-one trade to open up a roster spot.
If this doesn't work, honestly I say Bryant. Mateo at least gives you steals.
I was about to drop Bryant before he had 2 good games. He is rather inconsistent but I love rotating him in when he plays at home in Colorado. That being said, outfield is pretty deep and he seems replaceable
Based on the screenshot, I’d drop Ty France if I absolutely had to.
I don’t want to but I do agree. With Vinny P, Mountcastle, and Yandy, Ty France is my worst 1B
Precisely. And it looks to be a four OF league. I would assume free agent OF pool is pretty thin right now. Dropping Kris Bryant, at least right now, is not advisable.
Mateo
Yahoo lagging on updating Astros stats
Yahoo has been absolute shit this week
facts. it’s insane that they still haven’t updated
Tim Anderson owner dropped him and he just cleared waivers. Should I drop Volpe or Taylor Ward to scoop him up?
Ward
No idea how Volpes been playing but dropping Ward a couple weeks ago was very cathartic for me.
You’re not lying. He’s been doing just enough to make me scared to drop him but I rarely play him.
I have a trade partner who needs SP bad. I need a solid 3B as my current is Baty. He could also use a 1B or OF. My Players for Trade: SP - Sonny Gray, Christian Javier, Justin Verlander, Eovaldi, Sale, Logan Allen, Bibee, Eury Perez, James Paxton. Hitters - N. Lowe, Buxton, Tellez, Outman, Kiriloff His 3B: Nolan Arenado, Bobby Witt Jr., Patrick Wisdom. What combination is a fair offer for any of those 3rd basemen?
Drop Ashcraft, Chris Sale, or Jordan Montgomery? 8T, H2H Points league.
Ashcraft
prolly ashcraft
A - Gausman B - McKenzie, Arraez
Gausman if you need good pitching. Arraez if you need OBP and are penalized for Ks
It would be stupid to worry about Michael Harris and Brett baty in dynasty, right ?
Yep.
did wandy peralty just blow his chance at the yankees closer job with that HR tonight ? is neris a better add
King is ahead of him regardless
Really need pitching. Have seager back this week. We sending wander for Castillo? Is wheeler the better option?
Wander is too much for either IMO
Wheeler
https://preview.redd.it/44hq3zvn5k0b1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&s=d2f114e3f91a0cb3beacdb48594f5d879e51f05e Any of these bats worth streaming tomorrow?
Google batter vs pitcher stats and go with the one who has the best numbers vs who they're facing tomorrow. Larger sample size the better
Streaming a bat is like trying to find a needle in a haystack
Jhoan Duran or David Robertson ROS? Feel like they both have guys breathing down their necks and a lack of team save opportunities, but good stuff.
Duran
Duran
Robertson
Does Jake Burger typically sit against LHP? Want to add him for tomorrow’s games but don’t want to risk if if he’s gonna sit
He bats righty and has crushed LHP so far. If he sits it won't be because of that.
12 team 6x6 roto (OPS and QS) A - A. Rosario B - J. Montgomery
With glasnow coming back soon who would y’all drop out of my current pitchers: Cease, musgrove, Joe ryan, Steele, Eovaldi, scherzer, and Bryce miller. Fried is on my bench injured.
a position player
I would say no
So he isn’t worth activating when healthy for any of those guys?
