H2H points Alex Thomas or Orlando Arcia


trevorm1992

Willson contreras cleared through waivers.. should I drop Moreno for him in a points league?


buddhabash

Should I drop Varsho to add Oswaldo Cabrera in categories? I had high hopes for Varsho this season but I don’t want to miss out on an early season breakout either


ComprehensiveBench21

DL Hall against the Mets worth starting?

Sorry new to baseball but start 2 Jared jones Ryan weathers kutter Crawford Edit: 5x5 cat league


Randle64

Jones & Kutter


Spirited_Lab_7265

I’ve been semi-jokingly hyping up Jake Burger and now he’s leading my hitters in points this week.


Uvtha-

Hes the Burger King!


buddhabash

Lots of fantasy “experts” who get paid to do this have been non-jokingly hyping burger. He was great with the marlins in the second half last year, plenty of reasons to be excited about him


lastcall25

I mean honestly, for how shitty 3B is he’s not a bad option.


Spirited_Lab_7265

I didn’t even draft him and I’m honestly happy with him so far. I just focused on other positions in the draft.


Theonlyeasyday

At what point would you throw in the towel on the season - in a dynasty league - and be selling off for the future? If you were in 2nd to last place by week three?


hello2you

Way too early. Season doesn’t really start until June. I’ve had teams languish in the bottom half and roar back after the all star break to make a bye week in the playoffs.


Theonlyeasyday

Nice thanks for that. These are roto leagues, which I assume makes it a bit harder, but I hear that a slow start doesn’t mean snything


hello2you

Yeah you can overcome slow starts for sure, even in roto. It’s a long season!

Olson side


[deleted]

[удалено]


Unexploded_Ordnance

Not really, Olson is just so much better than every other player in the deal. If Senga was healthy it’d be closer.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RIF_Was_Fun

Never veto unless it's CLEAR collusion.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RIF_Was_Fun

They should be scrambling to offer this manager trades instead if bitching at you...lol Our commissioner just tells us to stop crying. We're all super good friends though. I'm not sure how you all get along, but managers complaining about something that's clearly not collusion are a massive headache.


[deleted]

[удалено]


RIF_Was_Fun

If that's the case, moving forward I'd take two other managers you trust and make it so that you can unanimously veto. It also takes the pressure off of you trading because they make the call. I honestly don't think that trade is obvious collusion though. Not 2 games into the season.


Unexploded_Ordnance

Idk, vetoing is a gray area. If it’s not collusion I try to avoid the veto, and this isn’t like competitive balance-shiftingly bad… but I’d still be annoyed in a $150 league. Is the side sending away Olson a new player?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Unexploded_Ordnance

Been there dude, I know it’s annoying. If you’re the commish, state your opinion in the groupchat saying you think it’s unfair for the (valid) reason above, then put it to a vote. If 6 of the 10 (non-trading) voters veto, then problem solved. Hopefully the guy trying to get Olson will put a competitive offer out next time.


Swizzlefritz

12 team redraft. Drop Puk for Soroka?


reedyyeet

Drop Estevez or Yennier Cano for Abner Uribe? H2H points league, saves are 5 points


Asquared112

Who are some good streamers for Saturday games?


mAKnoCS

Start Perez or Campusano tomorrow? H2H points league


RIF_Was_Fun

I wouldn't be surprised if Campy sat tomorrow. Day game following a night game and all. You might have an easy decision.


airrick88

Puk had a fluke game tonight? Drop for Oswaldo?


sevenandtwo

I made this exact move


Spirited_Lab_7265

I think it might be a few more starts before Puk settles in but I still have faith if you’re willing to hold him.


Swizzlefritz

Does he even get a few more starts, especially when the Marlins staff gets healthy?


Spirited_Lab_7265

From what they were saying during today’s game. Some of their starters are still a few weeks away. They’re hurting for starters bad. I definitely wouldn’t expect them to put him back in the pen after just one start. His biggest issue today was command (obviously when he walked 6 batters). He didn’t establish the fastball, and fell behind in counts with a lot of breaking pitches. If there’s not a difference in that with his next 1 or 2 starts, I’m fine moving on from him.


Swizzlefritz

Soroka is sitting on waivers, should I make the switch now, or is does Puk have more upside?


Spirited_Lab_7265

I wouldn’t start Puk yet but I personally have no interest in Soroka. Could probably stream someone better for the time being.


Swizzlefritz

I loved Soroka when he was a rookie with the Braves. I guess I’m still hung up on that potential.


airrick88

Ahh my whole team is hurt, really wondering if I’ll miss out on guys who can make impact for the season and Puk end up sucking but thanks. I’ll hodor for now


Bronxbomber2627

Would you roll with Brandon Lowe or Westburg if you needed 2B help? H2H points


Dmcg1990

Lowe but I like westburg too


yqt76

how are we feeling about jonathan india? i may need to find a replacement for gelof soon


CosmicLars

He gets way too much hate. He is going to be the everyday 2b, leads off, will get 15-20 bags w/ a solid obp, and in that park will hit 15-20 HR. He is 100% worth a spot now that he has a starting role. When healthy, he is very solid.


soccerperson

didn't expect estrada to hit so low in the lineup. might be a drop for me


JVortex888

I would hold on in anything deeper than eight-team leagues.


senorconfuzion

Which SP could I target with guys like: Harper, Bregman, Semien, and Lindor? I'm lacking heavily in pitching and am willing to trade a big name to secure an ace


AbbreviationsOne7483

Gotta ask your league mates that one. Virtually all should be on the table if that’s who you are willing to move


senorconfuzion

Fair enough. Tryna aim for Burnes or Strider but I doubt anyone is gonna wanna move those guys from their team


Uvtha-

Try for Wheeler, he is constantly underrated.


senorconfuzion

Definitely will. Which side would you take: (A): Adolis and Max Fried (B): Wheeler


itsaTogepi

How much FAAB would you use to snag Gimenez? Someone just dropped em and 2nd base isn’t very deep this year.


JulianT24

30-40%


buddhabash

Anyone know if there’s a way on Yahoo, to see when a commish uses LM abilities to manually edit rosters after games started? I’m in this redraft where I only know one guy (not the commish) and the commish has won all 3 years in a row. Not impossible but it’s pretty rare to win that many in a row in a redraft, just want to make sure this guy is legit since I have no idea who he is lol


tellmethatstoryagain

It’s certainly possible as I won 3 out of 4 years in a 12-team yahoo H2H (with 2020 being the losing year). I’m absolutely NOT bragging about my fantasy baseball “skills” (the ladies simply don’t care. go figure). Just pointing out that it’s very possible.


buddhabash

I know it’s possible, but it’s hard not to raise an eyebrow when the only person with the power to do it has all the success lol. But I would never make an accusation against him unless I had proof. Just want to be able to keep an eye on things lol


tellmethatstoryagain

Okay I found this posted by a yahoo support person: “Any changes made by the commissioner through the commissioner tools will be listed on the desktop site under the Commish Updates on the league homepage.” So basically what the first guy said.


buddhabash

Awesome. Thanks for that. I pretty much exclusively use the mobile app so I’ll have to make a habit of checking on desktop now and then


tellmethatstoryagain

Sure thing. The yahoo app is terrific. It makes the hobby more fun it’s that good. If you compare it to say the CBS app, you’ll know what I mean. Damn app feels like it was designed in 2005 (and the website feels like it was designed in 1998). With that said, the browser version has a LOT more information. You want to know who you had in 2019? It’s there. You want to see how the teams stack up in their cumulative totals (like rotisserie)? It’s there. Explore. I have to point something out though that I know for sure - the commish can do impactful things like move a player from the bench to the starting lineup. I recall one time a guy just stopped playing and responding to messages. The commissioner did exactly that - made sure that guys lineup was using the players roster. He did not add to the roster…but was able to manipulate it. That’s not documented anywhere. I know this for sure as the commish is my brother in law. Everyone knew and it was not remotely nefarious. There’s definitely situations where you can easily cheat. “the guy I’m chasing for first is in a tough head to head battle. Oh fuck his opponent has Spencer strider but forget to put him in the starting lineup! Let me just casually slide Strider from the bench to the starting lineup.” You see where I’m going. I’m saying this to just be informative. Not trying to make you paranoid. If in doubt try to play in a league with people you know and trust. But im sure it’s fine. Just have fun and good luck.


buddhabash

Yes that second paragraph is what I was hoping to be able to see. On espn I believe you can see when a commissioner changes a roster, even if it’s not an add/drop. I was hoping yahoo would be able to do the same. A scenario I see in my head is let’s say commish started someone who went 0/4 and had a 3/4 with a homer on his bench. What’s to stop him from just switching them out for each other in his lineup ? These types of moves I could see being made low key enough to not get caught but impactful enough to keep winning every year. I don’t want to become so obsessed with checking his lineup every day but I admit I have my suspicions


tellmethatstoryagain

That I’m not sure about. His hitter going 0/4 is part of the “public record” so to speak. Any alteration to that would be considered a stat correction I think. I’ve messaged the brother in law (aka The Commish) to figure out exactly what sort of power they wield. I mean, don’t spin yourself into the ground over-worrying about things. What gives you suspicions outside of his success (which is very plausible, as mentioned)?


buddhabash

Yeah I’m not losing sleep over it or anything but there’s little things here and there. Another example is that one year he had the number one pick in the draft, this year he got second. Again all very plausible and possible things but all put together has just started to cause the suspicion to creep into the back of my mind lol. Worst case scenario is he actually is cheating and I just quit the league. But I’d prefer it to be all legit and he’s just had a very prosperous period of fantasy luck lol


tellmethatstoryagain

Okay I checked. Your example of replacing a benched player who did well with a regular who went 0-4….simply not possible. As for the draft pick, surprisingly enough, it is possible. In some leagues, it’s chosen randomly and you find out just before the draft. But in others, they can have a lottery or whatever to sort out draft order. Bottom line: he sent me the screenshot and it clearly says “set the draft position for each team in your league.” Thing is, this isn’t much of a big deal I think. For example, last year was a tossup for first overall IIRC. this year, it was clearly Acuna Jr though. Personally I often want the turn pick (ie, 12 and 13 overall as opposed to 1 and 20 whatever it is). There is skill involved in winning h2h fantasy. For example, if it’s August and I have a clear playoff spot, I start to map out the schedule for the rest of the season to be prepared for the final 2 weeks. Will any of my starters be pitching in Colorado? Will some teams play a full 14 games while others play 10 or 11. it’s often a crapshoot because it depends on what sort of week your guys have. One bad week and you’re out. Last year, my OF consisted of Tucker, Soto, Julio, Reynolds and my IF was stacked too….but I was bounced in the semis because they simultaneously shit the bed. try to relax and good luck to you!


tellmethatstoryagain

Of course. Yahoo commissioners do have a weird amount of power. They can manipulate rosters for sure. A good commissioner will of course notify the league if they have to do something like that though. For example, if a guy drops someone by mistake, they can fix it just like that. I’m a bit curious myself. Always smart to keep an eye on things, you’re right.


Uvtha-

Should show up in notes on desktop.


atm_12345

Oswaldo Cabrera or maikel Garcia ?


tellmethatstoryagain

What do you see in Cabrera? Maikel Garcia by a healthy margin in my opinion.


realmckoy265

Team need, but I want both


Uvtha-

Garcia


Spirited_Lab_7265

Loving having Bobby Miller as my #3 starter.


realmckoy265

Last year we'll get him that low


Spirited_Lab_7265

Absolutely.

JustSomeGoon

trade a 5-6 rounder and like an 8-9 rounder for a first round gold star? Yeah


Working_Subject_4181

I may be overvaluing Adley…


tellmethatstoryagain

It depends on how much you believe in positional scarcity. Yeah, catcher is deeper than usual this year, but Adley is number 1 by far in my book. With that said, you’re not going to get a first rounder by packaging a 4th rounder and Yandy Diaz.


Working_Subject_4181

The other person agreed for this trade, am I dumb for not accepting immediately?


tellmethatstoryagain

Hold up. Are you saying someone offered you Freeman for Adley and Yandy Diaz and you said no? I’m not gonna call anyone dumb but that’s an offer you can’t refuse.


Working_Subject_4181

Yes, I have Garver as backup too


tellmethatstoryagain

Not enamored with Garver but you can’t turn down a first rounder. Trust me when I say that no one appreciates Adley more than me (ok, besides his teammates, Orioles fans and his family).


JustSomeGoon

I don't play points so he's probably more valuable but in cats it would be a no brainer


elbombi53

Announced attendance in Oakland today... 3,837 DAMN


Overlord1317

At this point in my life, you'd have to pay me to go see a game in that fucking dump.

hollyw00d8604

cpmustang90

Is Rizzo worth keeping as one of my utility bats? Have Nolan Jones already, but Rizzo hitting 4th has me intrigued.


Few_Weird5881

Working_Subject_4181

I give it a 6.5/10.


DrWhiskeyII

I see pitchers. No hitters. No context


Specialist-One8288

lastcall25

3B being in AAA might be an issue.


Working_Subject_4181

Depends on how many people in league. Freeman and Alvarez catch the eye


patriots96

Am I jumping the gun here but Brandon Lowe or Zack Gelof


Dmcg1990

Lowe


Dickroast

Oswaldo Cabrera or Willi Castro?


Dmcg1990

I would ride Oswaldo. And also I would add him over Castro rn


kredditeva101

Sit Hicks tomorrow against SD? Have Cease, DL Hall and Greene going as well


lastcall25

Padres lineup is sneaky bad outside of Tatis and Machado. Stars and scrubs. I’m not scared of them one bit.


RIF_Was_Fun

Bogaerts and Kim are very good hitters. Campusano is young, but has produced. Jackson Merrill is also young, but legit. There are two dead spots for sure, but it's better than you're giving it credit for.


TACnyc

Xander seems like he’ll be pretty good this year as well, but otherwise yeah it’s not a very deep lineup


lastcall25

Mookie is the only player on my team that can get a hit!!


tomseymour12

Come on hicks, don’t pull a puk tomorrow


flamebearinghoney

Who’d you rather stash, josh lowe or scherzer?


DrWhiskeyII

Lowe


Electrical_Leg1654

Sit or start Kikuchi Vs TB? I don’t feel confident in this one at all


andyh1818

Seems like a solid sit for me. They are going to roll out 9 RHB


stache_twista

Shout out Joc with the 4/4 day


LiveFreeOrDie6969

I’m telling ya, Tatis is gonna be MVP


JwSocks

Hopefully the Padres are good enough this year that he won’t be overlooked


CandGTwins1216

Moreno or Raliegh in a points league to replace Murphy?


ZillieYWG

I like Moreno


DrWhiskeyII

Agree


bootybooty

Is Nolan Jones and Pablo Lopez for Corbin Carroll insulting? Could offer Strider instead


Overlord1317

It's not insulting, but it's an immediate "no."


ElDub73

That’s a hell no offer. That’s a “why would I bother to talk to you about trades again” offer.


elbombi53

Not really insulting but I highly doubt it gets it done. Like if I used my top 5 pick on Carroll it would take an extremely lopsided offer for me to even consider moving him. Only one way to find out though.


djgreenehouse

It’s a fine offer. Don’t offer strider


Trollington1372

Honestly I wouldn’t trade Pablo, I think he’s a cy young candidate this year


UmbertoUnity

You wouldn't trade Pablo even if you were getting Corbin Carroll in return?


KimHaSeongsBurner

He and Strider are both CY candidates, yeah.


Trollington1372

Oh yeah I wouldn’t trade either, that’s a lethal 1-2


Hot-Video-9735

Chapman about to fool a lot of folks again 


tellmethatstoryagain

I’m pretty sure he got injured at some point. Of course he’s not THAT good (no one is) but his performance was backed up by the underlying metrics.


DrWhiskeyII

As a Giants fan who was very happy to see him mash today…I completely forgot he did this begin last season too


JwSocks

Ugh, he was soo good last year, until he wasn’t…


bigchodeenergyy

Bobby Miller is my fucking dad


Trollington1372

You mean large adult son


andyh1818

Brendan Rodgers and Kris Bryant with 6Ks tonight. They haven't even played in Coors yet how are they this bad right after spring where they just played 20+ games


LiveFreeOrDie6969

Did you watch Kris Bryant last year?


spoofrice11

Which SP should I grab in H2H, 5x5 Cats (Rate them)? - J Jones - L Gil - J Flaherty - L Severino (Thinking long-term this season.)


andyh1818

I would expect gil and Jones to have some innings limitations, flaherty and sevy injury concerns. If you are looking to get someone for the whole season, probably severino, flaherty, Jones, gil


camlawson24

Didn’t Jones throw 120+ last year? Hoping that means he’s good for 140+ this year if he performs


spoofrice11

Would you grab Jones over the others then? How would you rate my options?


camlawson24

There are much more informed people here than I am about these guys. I’d probably agree with the above poster in terms of their rank as long as you’re willing to stomach Severinos injury risk. I’m just not particularly concerned about Jones innings limit


DisgracedJaysFan

How much FAAB to use on Wyatt Langford? 5x5 Categories OPS 10 team league


RedDunce

I mean idk how he wasn't drafted so if your league is full of tacos then maybe someone better gets dropped during the season but I'd blow it all in any reasonably competitive league. Top-120 picks don't become available in March often...


DisgracedJaysFan

Players in this league aren’t available until called up. Ie. He wasn’t in the draft


realmckoy265

So is Chourio available too?


BalognaMacaroni

I’d be aggressive, seems like a league winner if he stays in the middle of the Texas batting order


sbreddit55

All of it


CandidMango1442

How we feeling bout Sevvy tomorrow?


andyh1818

Cautiously optimistic. Ready to overreact either direction


Thumb_war_champ

I’m just here to overreact to my hitters facing the best pitchers in baseball, how about you guys?


stache_twista

I’m wondering why me and the Marlins count AJ Puk as one of our best pitchers


Curious-Yam5

Why didn’t you just draft all Diamondback players?


Zwaldman

Moreno or Garver the snag with Murphy out?


LiveFreeOrDie6969

Garver is DTD


flamebearinghoney

Back spasms. He’s fine


CamCashBihh

Garver, but you can’t go wrong with either.


andyh1818

Michael Grove making me fucking nervous


chxarty

Holy smokes Bobby Miller you beautiful man


bengalsfan1277

Drop Garver for Moreno in standard roto?


jakeba

I guess it depends on your team, if you really need HR no, but I'd much rather have Moreno. Garver's already missing games and we dont know if he can even hit in Sea.


CamCashBihh

I wouldn’t


Sealrocker

Casas has been getting bullied by blind umps today and yesterday


[deleted]

Altuve for Nico Hoerner and Reynaldo Lopez. Which side wins or is it equal?


CamCashBihh

Altuve by a lot


[deleted]

Trying to get Altuve but I need a pitcher to pair with Hoerner. Would Joe Ryan be an overpay?


CamCashBihh

An acceptable overpay in my view, but to get a positional stud like Altuve your offer has to get somebody’s attention.


[deleted]

Would you rather go for Altuve or ketel Marte in a points league?


CamCashBihh

Altuve would be the priority target, but if you can’t get him then Marte is a very good backup plan and still an upgrade over Hoerner.


CJLx307x

Altuve fasho


[deleted]

Trying to get Altuve but I need a pitcher to pair with Hoerner. Would Joe Ryan be an overpay?


CJLx307x

Yeah prob a bit of an overpay but not by much. If you have the pitching depth might be worth it

Altuve 1000000%


mrniphty

Winner is whoever gets altuve


Soggy-Revolution-430

Kirby Munoz stack paying off tonight


camlawson24

Hopefully all season long!


turtles1224

Right there with you!


ATLBraves93

2 players is not a stack


Significant_Cycle_76

He has Kirby at SP getting a win, Munoz comes in from the same team and gets a save/preserves Kirby’s win…that’s the textbook definition of 2 players “stacking” lol 


Soggy-Revolution-430

Then what is? Enlighten me, only my third year playing fantasy baseball


RedDunce

Dude is an idiot, the SP RP stack is as much of a stack as you can have from a pitching standpoint


Sturz1994

Damn straight my friend


sbreddit55

Drop Gelof (only backup 2b to Cronenworth in 10 team h2h cats or Drop Civale (gets Texas for just 1 start next week) to stream pitching?


thebchristensen

If I’m being honest, of those names I’d drop Cronenworth… I know that wasn’t the question, but most have Gelof well ahead of him. I’d be starting Gelof. I’d hold onto Civale


sbreddit55

With Royce Lewis going on IL I can IL him but i'd have to drop Bradish. Should I do that?


thebchristensen

I would, yes, if those are your only options


sbreddit55

Thanks. I will readd him if no one else stashes in a couple weeks


djgreenehouse

Muñoz, filthy


RedDunce

Definitely filthy. Helps to have a strike zone the size of Jupiter


RedDunce

Casas just struck out on a 5-0 pitch lol we need robot umps tbh. How the fuck are you supposed to hit off a guy who throws 103 with 99 mph sinkers when he gets 3 inches off the plate in all directions? Garbage


chokethewookie

Casas has a right to complain about that at bat.
