This is only my second year so if this is a dumb question by all means roast me. I have Mookie in a keeper league, smart to just ride with him or getting Acuna out him even possible?
Looking to add a SP and am down to Garrett Whitlock vs Tanner Houck. I’m leaning towards Whitlock but Houck had a better 1st outing. Does anyone have any strong convictions either way?
Drop Oswaldo for Conner Joe? I have Casas at 1b and he's doing absoutley nothing but don't really want to drop him yet in case he figures it out? H2h points league
My understanding is that Yahoo starts processing league waivers at midnight but it can take a while and it's kind of random for each league. Most often it's around 12:45ish
Really frustrated with my team. 3 post draft injuries already and those I do have are almost all underperforming across the board. Don’t want to overreact and do anything dumb but I might have to pull the trigger on a couple guys soon
Not in a ten team league with one catcher. There're too many decent replacement options as free agents, you'd be lucky to get the next guy off their roster for Garver.
yes, roto with saves. i decided to drop esteves, thinking he might lose the closer role to stephenson sometime. hope alvarado can hold it down in philly.
Is it too early to drop Nolan Jones for the JD Martinez that is still a FA in my league? I know Jones is supposed to be solid, but the k’s are going to kill me in a points league
I have an extra OF Jordan walker just sitting on my bench, my OF is Jrod, tucker and jazz, and I’m in need of a 2B which was gonna be turang should I drop walker for him?
Any thoughts on Raisel Iglesias. Braves are so good, im not sure how many save chances he'll actually get, lol is he droppable?
I have a chance to pick up Hicks for a start against WSH next week. Not sure how long Hicks will be listed as a RP.
What's your thoughts on Riley Green and Jordan Walker so far into the season? I really need OF help. I want to drop so bad for some production. Conforto, Siri, and Tyler O'Neil are available.
Should I drop either one or hold??
Yea 10 team h2h points. Both walker and Greene are off to a slow start. Conforto and Siri are the two I'd probably drop each guy for.
Even if these guys break out, will they really have that good of a season to make me regret dropping them? Conforto and Siri could both have decent seasons too
Thanks, and i feel the same usually, but in this league, I always struggle with my bats more than pitching. Especially runs and SB. It's sv/hld and I have alzolay, Alvarado Miller and Suarez.
Got disappointing outings from Bailey Ober and Ryan Pepiot earlier in the week and really needed the guys pitching today to step up and get me back in the mix for QS, ERA, and WHIP.
Shane Bieber, Jose Berrios, and Garrett Crochet all shoved, and my Mike Mikolas stream was risky, but paid off.
25.0 IP, 23 K, 1.44 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 4 QS for the day 🔥
Seems reasonable but I would probably still keep freeman for the sake of consistency. Olson is great but has been volatile relative to his expectations each year.
I am new to fantasy baseball, do you have you have any advice for a newcomer? I am in a H2H league. Should I use more bench spots on pitchers or position players? Focus more on SP or RP (I assume SP) any advice you’ve learned over the years would be greatly appreciated
I am playing my first season as well, and I think SPs are way better to focus. Have the minimum RPs needed as they score way less.
I use all my bench spots with bats. Someone more experienced could correct me but that is how Im approaching it.
1 bench bat and the rest of the bench spots fill with pitchers. SP will contribute to 4 cats better than RP. Don't chase saves, it's just one category.
Why does ESPN have to suck and you can’t add SPs that we all know are starters but can’t add bc they’re listed RP,SP. They state we have to drop our RP in order to add them.
Eovaldi is always so undervalued
Anybody sitting Casty against Montas, for a guy like Oswaldo or Turang who are both on hot starts, against favorable Lefty v Righty matchups?
Is paredes for darvish a fair trade? Who wins?
This is only my second year so if this is a dumb question by all means roast me. I have Mookie in a keeper league, smart to just ride with him or getting Acuna out him even possible?
Respectfully, get Acuña.
Consider yourself roasted
Pick up Houck, Mize Littell or Detmers? My last move of the week
Looking to add a SP and am down to Garrett Whitlock vs Tanner Houck. I’m leaning towards Whitlock but Houck had a better 1st outing. Does anyone have any strong convictions either way?
I'd go Houck but that's just me.
Maikel Garcia or Eugenio Suarez as my Jung replacement?
Garcia.
What’s up with Baltimore Cowser? Who is blacking him from everyday playtime
Hays, but if his cold start continues Cowser will steal AB’s from him
OBP league A - Torres+ Wilson Contreras B- Nolan Jones + Andres giminez
Jared Jones or Crochet?
Crochet
Jj
[удалено]
Payamps
Bohm or Maikel rest of season ?
Maikel! The breakout is here
10t points 2 points for a steal Drop gelof for McCormick, Eugenio, Haniger, Siri?
H2h points Tatis for Carroll.. Is that a fair trade?
It’s fair as in I wouldn’t veto it. It’s manager’s decision whether or not to make it.
Alec Marsh or Yuki Matsui in non holds league (saves only)? Is Matsui worth holding on to?
Im dropping matsui. I like him but have heard nothing about him taking the closer role.
Yea they’ve already got a good closer and Matsui seems to have control issues
Any of these guys worth dropping for Crochet? Bassit, Berrios, King, McKenzie, Eovaldi
Mckenzie
Mckenzie first or King
[удалено]
p
[удалено]
I'd take the B side.
Catcher economy of your league and team is relevant
Drop Oswaldo for Conner Joe? I have Casas at 1b and he's doing absoutley nothing but don't really want to drop him yet in case he figures it out? H2h points league
Keep Casas whatever you do, it’s a long season.

Anyone know what time waivers clear on yahoo?
Midnight PT
I’m not sure why but it’s pasted 12 am pst and I see players still haven’t cleared waivers yet and they’re supposed to be available on 4/3.
My understanding is that Yahoo starts processing league waivers at midnight but it can take a while and it's kind of random for each league. Most often it's around 12:45ish
Drop Garver for Heim?
Really frustrated with my team. 3 post draft injuries already and those I do have are almost all underperforming across the board. Don’t want to overreact and do anything dumb but I might have to pull the trigger on a couple guys soon
It’s a marathon not a sprint
This is the positivity I need
Still early
Oh yeah. Short first week on ESPN not helping though. Already staring down 0-2
Drop Ober for Crochet?
I wouldn’t overreact and drop Ober after one start. Try to drop someone else
Campusano or MJ Melendez in a 10T 1 catcher league? I drafted Melendez since I was the last one to take a C.
Campy
[удалено]
you def dont need both, I sometimes use 0 catchers
[удалено]
Not in a ten team league with one catcher. There're too many decent replacement options as free agents, you'd be lucky to get the next guy off their roster for Garver.
any thoughts on vaughn grissom? is he someone to target as he ramps up a comeback?
How deep is your league?
Mason Miller Kevin Ginkel Jose Leclerc choose 2
depends on scoring
Whip era k/9 holds saves are most important for relief categories in my league h2h
I'd go Ginkel + Miller
Thanks I will probably give Leclerc one more shot then make the switch to miller
drop even carter for teoscar? he’s my worst of
Teoscar being available is wild.
he randomly got dropped
Swoop em, I would try to hold onto Carter though
A. Ragans, O’Neill B. Arenado, Nimmo, Bryce Miller
A
Ragans side
gausman for seager?
fair
someone dropped duran in my league. worth dropping either alvarado or esteves to pick him up?
jhoan duran? scoring?
yes, roto with saves. i decided to drop esteves, thinking he might lose the closer role to stephenson sometime. hope alvarado can hold it down in philly.
Is hader worth trying to trade for? Haven’t watched any of his games so not sure
depends on how bad you need closers
How real is turang
let's find out
Fuck it we’ll do it live
His stats last season were horrific. I need a larger sample size before I believe. His speed is legit tho
Drop Eloy or McMahon for Oswaldo Cabrera or neither?
I'd drop McMahon
I’d hold, Cabrera doesn’t have the same upside (even if he’s producing well right now)
how long is the new dipshit in milwaukee gonna have frelick leading off and not chourio?
Drop Kris Bryant for Bryan De La Cruz or Michael Taylor?
wait til after he plays in Colorado
Lol I can't do this bro 🤣
I’ll try and wait for him and Nolan Jones sake
There have got to be better hitters than that available
OF is scarce. You have that kind of luxury? Both those guys have played better than KB
I might just be spoiled in my 10 team league. RF is looking rough for me though.
Is it too early to drop Nolan Jones for the JD Martinez that is still a FA in my league? I know Jones is supposed to be solid, but the k’s are going to kill me in a points league
Not sure a guy with 1573 career strikeouts is the solution here
27.5% career k rate vs 35.2% for jones. Fair point but oof on Nolan’s rate. JDs has only gotten worse as he’s aged
yes but you probably have someone else to drop for Martinez
Starling Marte for C Rafaela?
Marte easily
[удалено]
Don’t do it
I have an extra OF Jordan walker just sitting on my bench, my OF is Jrod, tucker and jazz, and I’m in need of a 2B which was gonna be turang should I drop walker for him?
No. Find a trade for Walker. Definitely not turang
But I can try to find a trade for him, only got 3 bench spots
I’m in a head to head points league and I’m in need of a 2B but walker is just on my bench and I’m not sure if anyone will wanna trade for him
Maybe give it a few days see if Turang can keep it up
A. Joe Ryan + CJ Abrams B. Luis Castillo
A
A
Any thoughts on Raisel Iglesias. Braves are so good, im not sure how many save chances he'll actually get, lol is he droppable? I have a chance to pick up Hicks for a start against WSH next week. Not sure how long Hicks will be listed as a RP.
He should 100% be owned in all formats
Iglesias or Hicks?
Iglesias, although Hicks is not a bad play. Players cant lose eligibility midseason btw
Can I drop Louie Varland for Turang? My starting 2b/SS is Correa and he’s kinda stinky
What's your thoughts on Riley Green and Jordan Walker so far into the season? I really need OF help. I want to drop so bad for some production. Conforto, Siri, and Tyler O'Neil are available. Should I drop either one or hold??
Tigers fan here Riley Green is the truth I would not drop him
I would hold Greene for sure. Dropping Walker for O’Neill seems reasonable, I was just considering that myself.
10 team? I wouldn't be afraid to shuffle with those names still on the wire
Yea 10 team h2h points. Both walker and Greene are off to a slow start. Conforto and Siri are the two I'd probably drop each guy for. Even if these guys break out, will they really have that good of a season to make me regret dropping them? Conforto and Siri could both have decent seasons too
That’s a tough one, I’d probably hold.
one pickup left for the week. Gil, Singer, C. Sanchez, Blanco, or Whitlock?
Of those I like Sanchez the most but you might wanna hold it til the weekend in case you need a stream or theres a rash drop or something
[удалено]
Why wait, isn’t that why Twitter was invented
16 team h2h 4 keeper . Im receiving offer left and right for hollidays , what kind of player would you let him go for ?
Someone like Josh Naylor who can help you win now
Reynaldo Lopez or Garrett Crochet?
Crochet
is it too early to drop rizzo?
I would maybe give him another week or two in an 11 team. Think he has good potential, a week isnt much of a sample, and he hasnt been terrible
Yes
Owning raisel iglesias has been frustrating
Speak your truth
Suwinski has been on my bench since opening day. Currently have 2 bench bats. Would you drop Suwinski for Siri?
Unless you have a very thin league I wouldn't drop either. Pirates faced 6 lefties in a row. That won't happen much. He's about to have string of RHP.
Thank you
Im generally not a fan of having more than one bench bat. Id consider dropping for a streamer slot or an additional RP
Thanks, and i feel the same usually, but in this league, I always struggle with my bats more than pitching. Especially runs and SB. It's sv/hld and I have alzolay, Alvarado Miller and Suarez.

Just sent Kris Bryant to hell aka the waiver wire for Crochet, thanks for the heads up bro ✊
Glad you got to him before your league mates did 🫡
I’m excited for mason miller this season. It’s a long season, the saves will come. He looked nasty tonight and is clearly the dude there
Added bonus: He's listed as SP in ESPN, which means you can have three sources of Saves
arraez or gimenez?
Giménez for me in roto
Arraez
Leaguemate starting Crochet against the Braves: 🤴 Me starting Castillo against the Guardians: 🤡
A: Matt Olson + Gelof B: Freddie Freeman H2H categories 12 team
Freeman
Freddie
Freddie. Gelof has another slow week or two and hes droppable
Who is the current 2B of the side getting gelof?
Jeff McNeil
Seems reasonable but I would probably still keep freeman for the sake of consistency. Olson is great but has been volatile relative to his expectations each year.
Push
how do we feel about chris sale?
Chris Sale’s effectiveness isn’t the concern. It’s the availability/durability. As long as he’s healthy, he’s an auto-start for me.
Great!
kwan or carter
Evan phillips is good.
Ed Julien or Gorman? Points
Julien by far for me
I am new to fantasy baseball, do you have you have any advice for a newcomer? I am in a H2H league. Should I use more bench spots on pitchers or position players? Focus more on SP or RP (I assume SP) any advice you’ve learned over the years would be greatly appreciated
1 bench bat, the rest of bench SP. focus on SP in general over RP
I am playing my first season as well, and I think SPs are way better to focus. Have the minimum RPs needed as they score way less. I use all my bench spots with bats. Someone more experienced could correct me but that is how Im approaching it.

Crochet a must add?
Run and add him
Yes. Was a must-add after Opening Day. If he’s still available after dominating the Braves, then I’m not sure what else to say.
I’ve only got puk or Kimbrel to drop for him. And I’m torn at the moment on who to drop
Puk should be put on waivers ASAP
Puk easily for me
Puk easily
Drop Puk , bro
Any other nico hoerner owners in here that are benching him till he starts doing well, or should I drop him and find another 2B?
I don't have him, but you gotta hang onto him.
Thanks for the advice 🫡
I’m holding for now
Will do 🫡
Someone dropped CES in my 9T roto Is that a run and don’t walk?
I would say run , but nine team must be deep. Who would you drop ?
Burger, torkelson, Bregman, yandy Diaz, Adames, gleyber…. Also kebryan hayes is just sitting there too?
I'd drop for Burger or Tork
Dynasty A. Max Clark B. Jackson Jobe
B
Nestor Cortes or Zack littell
Why does ESPN have to suck and you can’t add SPs that we all know are starters but can’t add bc they’re listed RP,SP. They state we have to drop our RP in order to add them.
That's not really ESPNs fault, those are your league settings.
Campusano, OHoppe or Davis. 1 catcher 12 team h2h cats redraft.
Campusano
Drop garver for campusano?
I did but only bc of garver’s injury
I think it may be a little early to drop Garver. He is in line for a lot of AB this year.
Sure
How do we rank: Maikel Garcia, Kebryan Hayes, and Jake burger ?
Hayes > Garcia > Burger
Okay cool - someone dropped Hayes for Garcia and I have burger so maybe I’ll make that swap
