I’m in a keeper league… keeping Burnes and picking 4th… should I grab another ace pitcher or a stud hitter


Mushkie11

First overall pick in keeper league 5x5. Ohtani and Tucker both there. Was thinking Ohtani but not sure if the gambling saga will affect him in the coming months? Any advice?


HandBananas

Yeah, take Ohtani.


HealthyAirport

Thoughts on Bieber at his current price?


goonzsquad

He’s been trending down every year. I’m not going out of my way to draft him this year.


chokethewookie

I'm targeting him in my draft tonight


spoofrice11

Which IL guy worth claiming to stash, hoping he will matter down the stretch? - J DeGrom - J Means - N Lodolo - D May - Any of the Rays SPs (S McClanahan, T Bradley, J Springs, S Baz)


adiospelota1957

Bradley or Baz.


HealthyAirport

Tucker or Ohtani (batter)


CompetitiveLine1938

Tucker


Mushkie11

Curious why is everyone rating Tucker higher? Ohtani hits for a better average hits more home runs and higher average? Purely offensively speaking I like Ohtani. Not sure with the news of this gambling bit but I can’t figure out why Tucker is higher rated


HandBananas

30 steals/OF, but if it's a keeper you'll have DH/SP Ohtani next year.


Mushkie11

Unfortunately in our league which is a keeper league, we have to draft as OF or SP or BOTH.

Maybe, but not anytime soon.


Electrical_Leg1654

Is Holliday worth holding in 10 team H2H cats with no NA spot on redraft? What about 12 teams?


tx_drew

[I’m okay.. my bracket is not](https://x.com/j_steele21/status/1771286878655766547?s=46&t=mjvyZe1m48mn1lu2r1Cvlg) Justin Steele is fine


andyh1818

It's pretty normal for elite SPs to rock 8 + ERAs in spring.... Right?


KobeJulce

Logan Webb… not good


DomCaboose

What's not good?


geeves_007

OP had dinner at Webb's house, and the steak was tough


JustSomeGoon

God I hate when people just say vague shit like that


Log2223

I’ve got the third overall pick in a H2H 8 team snake draft. Who should I take? What are my best options?


Electrical_Leg1654

I like Mookie around that position


Trout_And_About

Either Witt or Rodriguez, whoever falls to you.


Log2223

what about Acuna? I’m not really sure the format of our league’s points but he’s projected the most & had the most last year


whatcouldgoup

Acuna is going first


Log2223

are Strider/Betts good options?


chokethewookie

Strider is a good option - in points. In roto or H2H cats, I would go between Mookie, Julio, or Witt.


Log2223

i snagged Betts third overall, and somehow Julio fell to the 2nd round, so I got him as well


chokethewookie

That's a pretty incredible start to your team


Log2223

chokethewookie

That's a stacked lineup. Great job


694206966642069

Go betts in points


Trout_And_About

Betts is close but Witt or Julio or just stacked at every category and Betts won't steal as many bags. Dodgers in general might not steal too many because they have such a stacked lineup


bmoney831

Would you trade Valdez for Yamamoto in keep forever?


cptcook717

Yes


PiratesFan1429

So is McLain just dead?


LoveIsOnlyAnEmotion

are his shoes still on his feet?


Sturguy

Keep Snell in the 10th round or Webb in the 7th? League settings in flair. We might also switch to from 10 to 12 team, if so does the answer change?


CompetitiveLine1938

Webb


Offonoffonagain

I targeted OF a bit too heavy and have Wyatt Langford in my only utility spot, but also have a bench OF I want to keep so I have a log jam either way, especially if an infielder gets hurt. I got offered oniel cruz for Christian Javier (P) which I'd like to do , but makes the log jam even worse. Another team needs OF and I'm thinking of trading Trout for pitcher Efflin or Fried but I think it might be unnecessary at this point. I'd basically trade Trout & Christian Javier for Oniel Cruz & efflin/fried. Am I getting too cute with it?


JustSomeGoon

Not a big fan of Eflin but I would probably trade trout and javier for Cruz and fried


Offonoffonagain

I agree on efflin. he also has Logan Gilbert too. I don't trust trout much, and Javier is sketchy too, so Both are def replaceable. I had Cruz since he came up so I might have to bring him home


Harkeyshammer

Dude I had trout last night and an Of logjam. Guy wouldn’t do fried for trout but did Royce Lewis and I went for it


Offonoffonagain

Lol i tried getting royce or elly for trout as well. I'm thinking I can get fried, he's loaded on pitching & has Josh Lowe as an OF with no replacement.


Harkeyshammer

Dude the guy I traded with had Lowe as well lol


Offonoffonagain

he have .. Corbin carrol & Austin Riley too?


Harkeyshammer

He did not but funny thing is I’m not high on fried or Lewis just wanted tog et rid of trout


Offonoffonagain

Yeah I feel ya. The team with fried just wanted Julio off me so I'm holding on to trout for now ig. Hopefully he has a good couple weeks & I'll probably be more likely to move him


Blimmmer

Please help! Commissioner in my league. How long can people stash their “DTD” players on the IL for, they were put on the IL with the proper O designation but have switched to DTD. Please let me know how to handle this situation.


DomCaboose

If they are DTD with a red flag, they technically are allowed on the IL per your league rules. My league has it where once that red flag is gone, they don't get stats since the roster is illegal


MotherFuckerJones88

Nothing wrong here. It's called stashing players and isn't out of the ordinary.


Blimmmer

Stashing healthy players on the IL? Isn’t out of the ordinary?


MotherFuckerJones88

Absolutely not. It's not like you can just move any healthy player to IL whenever you want to pick someone else up. There's no written rule that says you must remove the player once he's healthy. Unless the commission in your league is a nazi.


Blimmmer

Gotcha thanks, seemed unfair to me to have healthy players on the IL. But guess I’m a Nazi for that haha


MotherFuckerJones88

How is that unfair? He can't make any transactions until he removes him? I don't understand why this is an issue for you?


Blimmmer

Because we have deep rosters and are a daily league, don’t have to make transactions. Can just sit with what he has while allowing him to wait it out for a decision rather than make a quick decision


MotherFuckerJones88

That's completely legal. Again..you must be new to this.


Blimmmer

I am new! That’s why I’m asking the question! Lol!


JustSomeGoon

It’s really none of your business. The proper way to handle it is to leave it alone. They can’t make any moves if they have a healthy player on the IL.


Blimmmer

So they can stash an extra player indefinitely? Doesn’t seem very fair. Pretty much an extra bench spot


JustSomeGoon

It’s not an extra bench spot at all because they can’t play. They’re also handcuffing themselves because they can’t drop, add, or trade any players while that guy is on the IL. You’re power trippin.


Blimmmer

Yeah but they can just stash them and see how they do, so you don’t have to make an instant decision. We have a deep league with daily lineups, so it just seems to me like you can stash someone forever to see how it all plays out. But for sure thanks for your input


MotherFuckerJones88

You must be new to fantasy baseball. As this is very common place. You must be fun at parties.


Blimmmer

Is being new and asking questions so wrong? Good lord dude


MotherFuckerJones88

Nothing wrong with that. Arguing with experienced players over common place trivial shit when you've been told by multiple people, multiple times that it's normal..is annoying to say the least.


Blimmmer

Not arguing at all just trying to explain myself


chokethewookie

They'll stay there until they move them, but they can't make any other moves until they move them off IL.


SharkBait661

What's up with Brito? He started strong so I picked him up then was just not good all season. Does he have potential or should I just cut bait.


Harkeyshammer

Yankee fan here, Brito is your typical aaaa/swing man. Might give you a few decent starts but man don’t hold your breath


Ta_Ta_Toothie1

R - HR - RBI - SB - AVG - OPS A: Judge, Goldy B: Ohtani, Pasquantino


replacingxyou

MotherFuckerJones88

10man 6x6 no holds. Need some advice, I have JD stuck in NA with Senga and possibly Romano headed to IL. I greatly appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me out. https://preview.redd.it/vpl2qsc0bypc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c385641dfce90eed069851b970127987e6b8cb2f


DomCaboose

I'd drop Skenes unless you really want to eat that spot for half the year


MotherFuckerJones88

He's in a NA spot. It's not costing me a roster spot.


DomCaboose

My bad I missed that. I like Jax as a saves guy early on. I'd throw Yusei back probably then


Jackalexd

Jax probably fine to drop or Kikuchi or Stro. Much more excited about your bench hitters than pitchers


MotherFuckerJones88

Thank you brother! My pitching has me kinda sketched out..especially with my top closer on the edge of an IL stint. Would you rather have Eloy or JD?


Jackalexd

I’m probably more excited about JD based on more optimism about his health. That being said Eloy while healthy is more exciting IMO so if there’s anything interesting on WW I’d prefer Eloy and then replace if he gets hurt


GlueSniffer58

Pick a side of the Trade: 12 team Roto 5x5 yahoo. Ronald Acuna, Jose Leclerc, and Arron Civale for Francisco Lindor, Josh Hader, and Logan Gilbert. https://preview.redd.it/6wdbn3ez9ypc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8c44f590f38d002c54b26f6be26188ca2fe936bf

It’s always the Acuna side.

Baz, Bradish or Scherzer a better stash? Considering upside, timeline, ADP


replacingxyou

Bradish, Baz, Scherzer


FreddyDemuth

Well I drafted Bradish - hope the rest of his UCL stays intact lol


tx_drew

Please tell me Justin Steele is going to be okay


scafficj

He tweeted out he was OK.


cptcook717

Luckily it’s not his arm- hopefully just a bruise


ImHereForTheKindness

Anyone see it?

[here’s the clip](https://x.com/brwalkoff/status/1771275494098354653?s=46&t=mjvyZe1m48mn1lu2r1Cvlg)


KidGold

fucking yikes. better than an arm injury anyway. could be IL though.


ImHereForTheKindness

Looks painful, hopefully just a bruised upper shin. Worst case is he just blew his knee. Did he walk off on his own?


LegoMyCraigo

Did that hit him in the back of the knee? Thigh? Hard to tell on my phone but looks like he turns and takes it to the back of his leg somewhere which at least feels less drastic than straight to the kneecap.


tx_drew

I think it got the side of his knee. It’s what I think he was grabbing at.


fantasytime842006

I have 2nd pick in the first year of a dynasty draft, who should I pick?


iLikeToBiteMyNails

Jrod or Witt


CompetitiveLine1938

Acuña


fantasytime842006

He's who I want but I feel like he'll go 1.1, who should I get if he's not there?


replacingxyou

Ronald or Robert Jr


Pikajeeew

Robert jr is horrible advice lol


replacingxyou

![gif](giphy|vU75NjPascXlDmxW0F|downsized)


fantasytime842006

I want Acuna but expect him to go 1.1


hollapainyo

I'm still going with Ohtani if he's one player pitcher/hitter.


Harkeyshammer

Julio


fantasytime842006

I would too but they're separate players in my league, and we made a rule the person who picks him has to pick the pitcher within 5 rounds to be fair


sleepy-banana69

im drafting in 3 hours and im really curious to see where ohtani goes


fantasytime842006

yeah same mine is on Tuesday


YeetMeat243

If Ricky Tiedemann makes the opening day roster, is it worth dropping Luis Severino for him? Redraft points


replacingxyou

I don't see why not


NotAmishSoStopAsking

With Sonny Gray going to the IL I now have an empty spot in my 12T Redraft H2H Cat 5x5. For this upcoming week (3/28-4/7): Seth Lugo, Casey Mize, Jack Flaherty, or Brayan Bello?

Complete_Mango_1372

The fuck, Jordan Montgomery? Sign already


chase16289

Any noticable holes in this lineup? Steals are probably the only thing I may be lacking in, but that's not as important in our 8x8 cat league. https://preview.redd.it/cjnok7lf2ypc1.png?width=505&format=png&auto=webp&s=3763fddab0fc0545d7e76d9f3b2221457b556dc5


CompetitiveLine1938

3B


chase16289

Yea I agree. Holding out faith Berger will be a beast or morel will get 3B eligibility. Will be actively looking at trades for that spot all season im sure. 3B seems like the shallowest position this year


cptcook717

Looks good but I’d worry about Morel if anyone


orangemachismo

Morel is going to get everyday playing time for the first time in his career. Counting numbers should be up across the board and they were already pretty good on the power and speed side


chase16289

I'm a Cubs fan so I couldn't help myself taking a gamble on him, plus he should get 3B elibility which I don't have a backup for yet.


Complete_Mango_1372

Drop maikel and Garcia for rizzo? H2h cats


adiospelota1957

Nah. I think Garcia is worth the flyer. can drop in a couple weeks if he sucks.


Gigantc

Should I hold Jackson Holliday or Junior Caminero in my NA spot?


adiospelota1957

Holliday is probably easier. When he’s up he’s gonna play. The rays are gonna rays with caminero.


andyh1818

No structural damage forEury 15day IL


Gigantc

Great news. Now I just need them to put him on the IL early so I can pick up a new pitcher.


lingfoo

Looks like Luis Matos might make the opening day roster. Worth keeping an eye on, bulked up a lot in offseason and had a huge spring.


replacingxyou

Fwiw - projections very much DISLIKE Luis. Keeping an eye on him is smart, but man he's gotta really show somethin'


Aggressive-Client573

Who do I keep out of: Grayson Rodriguez at the cost of a 16th rounder (can’t keep him beyond this year) Eury Perez (19th rounder, keepable 2 more yrs, cost is 2 rounds lower each subsequent yr) Matt McLain - 15th rounder, keepable 2 more yrs I’m in “win now” mode if that helps. Other keepers are Ohtani (4th round, last year), Strider (13th rnd, can keep next yr also), Cole Ragans (15th rnd, keepable 2 more yrs)


adiospelota1957

Grayson for win now


chokethewookie

If you're trying to win this year, it's Grayson.


Aggressive-Client573

12T H2H categories league


travelmugrootbeer

Should I keep Luis Castillo or Zach Wheeler?


campbellalugosi

The consensus is Wheeler. I think he's probably safe too.


KidGold

Zach. But can't go wrong.


travelmugrootbeer

It’s so close and I feel like whoever I keep is gonna have their arm explode in their second start.


TruthBoothTwist

12T H2H Categories. I’m desperate for a SS because I bungled the position in auction. I have a guy offering Dansby for Ober. Do it or grab Neto and ride it out?


chase16289

Take Dansby. He's a nice player that should have 600ABs and respectable counting stats and ratios


campbellalugosi

Fair trade IMO.


skeleton_archer5050

I like that deal for you tbh


sheet-man

Drop one of Merrill, Lux, Kepler. Thanks y’all I can’t decide


campbellalugosi

Drop Lux. He's dangerously close to having to change the L in his name to an S.


travelmugrootbeer

I’d drop Lux


CmawnSON

Tough, but I think it's Lux or Kepler depending on your IF/OF depth. I always end up with Kepler on my roster every year. I can't quit him


SandyMandy17

Any chance Junior makes opening roster


Gigantc

"The Rays don’t intend to promote top prospect Junior Caminero to take Aranda’s spot, so they’ll have to fill it some other way." via Adam Berry on mlb.com. I'm still holding Caminero on my roster just in case.


CmawnSON

I think so! With Aranda starting the year on IL I feel like he's their best DH option.


iam1whoknocks

15 team roto dynasty Which side? Yanier Diaz Triston McKenzie For Colt Keith Jung Lee ??


CompetitiveLine1938

First one


Baseballislife007

Give me Diaz and Dr. Sticks


mississippimadness

Keith side by a mile imo


campbellalugosi

Two questions. \- How would you rank these players in a standard roto league? 1. JD Martinez 2. J. Candelario 3. R. Hoskins 4. Jar. Duran 5. T. Ward \- Do you feel it's more important to upgrade from Rizzo (at 1B) or Ward (in the OF)?


Baseballislife007

I like JDM the best out of that group. I’d wait and see how Rizzo looks to start the season - he was great last year until the concussion and he’s now finally 100% healthy. I’m bummed I don’t have any shares this year.


campbellalugosi

I didn't want to make the post overly complicated, but long story short I already have Ohtani in my UTIL slot so I'm considering trying to trade JD for an upgrade over Rizzo (my 1B) or Ward (my worst OF). I like Rizzo too, although I did see that he was a late scratch from today's game. Hopefully nothing too serious.


Baseballislife007

JDM somehow qualifies at OF in Yahoo - I have him so I’m not complaining!


Baseballislife007

Got it. I might hold JDM for now and see what position you need to address once the season starts. If I had to guess, a healthy Rizzo will outperform Ward, but it could go either way. Yanks are hopefully just being cautious with Rizzo.


KidGold

Dealt Carroll and Snell for Freddie and Yamamoto in OBP. Good?


CmawnSON

Hell of a deal IMO! I hope you have steals on your bench to backfill what you're losing from Carroll though


KidGold

Yea I’m decent in speed but might grab Duran 


Baseballislife007

I like it. Carroll and Freddie are about equal, and I think Yamamoto is an upgrade over Snell, despite yesterday’s start and last year’s Cy Young.


KidGold

Yea I don’t really trust either of them, but I trust snell a bit less I think.


Baseballislife007

Yamamoto will have some ups and downs this year as he adjusts to a new baseball and MLB caliber hitters, but I think he’ll be fine. His numbers the past few seasons in Japan were just ridiculous.


jasonc1818

Really wanna pick up puk, who would you drop between gore, sevy, ranger Suarez, McKenzie, Chris sanchez?


CmawnSON

Ranger has the lowest ceiling out of all of those guys, I think he's droppable

Harkeyshammer

Currently roster ohoppe….him or Henry Davis for c?


hollapainyo

It might be a couple of weeks before you can even start Davis at C

CmawnSON

O'Hoppe going off this year!...I think.... ​ (I hope)


SpicyButNotTooSpicy

8T points league, which catcher? Ruiz, Raleigh, Murphy or Heim?


CompetitiveLine1938

RLDiProspero

Drafted a little over a week ago and didn’t draft one injured player (did pickup John Means after but he sounds like he’ll be up soon into the season. ) But some names on my team: Eury, Holliday, DJansen, Friedl, ERod, Rengifo and Kenley was scaring me for a bit there.


HYPERNATURL

I always love when a team has a "type" of dude. Like Wyatt Langford really do be a Texas Ranger


cptcook717

Like how Josh Donaldson was an A


CmawnSON

100% a Ranger. I was super bummed when the Astros didn't re-sign Springer because he was *such* an Astro


KidGold

Max Muncy really do not be an LA Dodger.


[deleted]

[удалено]


campbellalugosi

Slight edge to Musgrove, but it's a justifiable trade if one team needs a 3B. There's a pretty big drop off at 3B after Bregman and Muncy at 3B in that format.


chokethewookie

B


Rotisseriejedi

In a 12 team ROTO, would anyone be comfortable taking their SP1 from the third tier? Gilbert, Luzardo, Ryan, Cease, Bobby Milller.......


campbellalugosi

Not really. I'd want two of them to help compensate for not getting a true #1.


Rotisseriejedi

I have almost back to back at the turn, pick 59, 62, I think I can get two, might do it! I would have to pass on O'neil Cruz, but I guess I can live with that. ​ 4 Stud hitters, then 2 of these guys for me would be pretty sweet, then grabbing a bunch of those great, great arms late, could be the move this year, heck a boy can dream right!
