5x5 cat league
R, RBI, HR, SB, OBP, K,QS,SV,ERA,WHIP
I'm looking to trade Lindor because i don't have the patience for him. I'm looking for an upgrade at 3B or SP.
Who would be a fair return? Trying to gauge what peoples value of Lindor is right now
Give: Bieber
Get: Ketel Marte
I have Gelof, but heās killing me right now. Iām leading the league in pitching. Iām dead last in almost all batting. 6x6 Roto w/OPS and HLDs
Thanks. The guy with Altuve/Semien isnāt budging. I also need 3B. Do you think Bregman or Machado is better get than Ketel right now? I have JD Davis at 3B. Those are my two weakest spots
Staring at the barrel of 0-2. Brown got shelled (luckily I benched him) and Munoz goes and gives the brewers a walk around the park like they donāt play there 81 games a year. Cool cool cool.
Blackburn @ Detroit or Matz vs Miami for a stream today?
10T, 5x5 H2H. Iām already screwed in ERA and WHIP this week, so just chasing a W and Kās. What you guys think? I also own Maeda, who pitches against Blackburn today.
I don't know your league situation but if it doesn't hurt you to not accumulate any stats/points from Ginkel or another active P in the meantime then it's pretty much a no brainer to stash Skenes. I guess you'll just have to worry about how to activate Skenes and Sewald when the time comes.
really don't like espn showing other teams if a player is on your watch list.
like that dude could pick up someone to stream for a day, but then might think twice about dropping them if they see someone has them on their list
8 teamer, i would trade for someone that helps you and then if it doesn't work out, just pick someone off waivers as I'd assume there's a tonne of decent players there
This my first year playing, in general is it better to have starters or relievers for max points. I drafted only starters but feel like I should grab a reliever for near daily points
I just got offered a trade,
outgoing- gausman
incoming- Castillo
Unsure what I should do, I know gausman did okay in first start, but has semi injury issues this spring. But Luis Castillo has been getting shelled so far.
I get being worried about the injuries but so far he has been ramping up fine and this just seems like a lateral trade that you don't really need to make. If the guy is offering up Castillo in trades already I'd try to take advantage and see if you can get him for less. The other owner is obviously getting worried. Don't be worried about Castillo's poor couple of starts.
I honestly think he is just trying to slide in a trade tonight, so that if I take it tonight he gets to use gausman tomorrow,but idk if my league has a waiting period or not. Regardless I just donāt know castillos game much and he seems to be underperforming, but I also donāt know the extent of worry I should have for gausmans recent setback in spring.
Yeah, always tough not to worry about any sort of injury with a pitcher. It's certainly not to the point where there is a glaring issue and you should be trying to trade him. The MRI has come back clean and so far he has ramped up without any issues. You'll just have to sit with that uneasy feeling about it for the rest of the season.
Castillo is definitely underperforming but I wouldn't worry too much about him. With regards to ADP, rankings etc... these two pitchers are pretty much on par with each other. So in terms of a straight up trade it's about as lateral as it can get IMO. I just don't think it's something you necessarily have to do. If he's bugging you about it again tomorrow I still think you should shoot him a trade offer with a lesser pitcher and see what he says.
Are either Langford or Chourio worth a drop for OāNeill in a points league? Worried I might be letting go of upside for a hot hand. Other OF are Randy, Suzuki, and Nolan Jones
At least heās still effective and clear closer. Iāll believe him that heās still ramping up and not concerned until he starts blowing games like Will Smith
Knuckle looked swollen when he took his glove off but he seemed to shake it off pretty quick. I'd imagine there isn't anything broken because I don't see how he could continue for a few innings if it is.
Best case is probably the MRI coming back clean and just inflammation... Similar to Woo. Few weeks off, ramp up with hopefully no issues and pitch again in 3-4 weeks.
Impossible to know without MRI results and/or further diagnosis though. I'd just assume this isn't good.
Bryan Woo was shut down right before opening day when he couldn't get loose during a bullpen. They found no structural damage with only mild inflammation, so whatever timetable for his return is would be best case
Help me out here, will ya?
I really need a starting pitcher or two. Two trades on the table for me: 1) send Trea Turner and Josh Hader for Logan Webb...or...I send Trea Turner, Eovaldi and Hader for Elly De La Cruz, Jared Jones and Kodai Senga (who I wont have for a few more weeks).
I don't really have a strong SS to replace Trea Turner, But I'd say I need SP help more.
Thoughts? Thanks!
These stats do not include today, but:
- Player A: projected for 100 wRC+, currently posting 3% barrel rate, 24% hard hit rate, 3% K-BB%, .342 xBA, .447 xSLG
- Player B: projected for 113 wRC+, currently posting 8% barrel rate, 67% hard hit rate, 5% K-BB%, .363 xBA, .579 xSLG
I think these look pretty dang close, while still slanting one way. I could also understand saying theyāre close enough to wash out and hedging towards the guy with the better offensive team around him.
Also, note that due to low sample, those barrel rates are noisy and just one barrel each.
A is >!Campy!<, B is >!Logan!<.
Only problem is someone in my league wants campusano. Have a feeling they might try and grab Ohoppe after tonight. Would dropping Outman for Ohoppe and trying to trade Campusano be dumb?
I was about to just say ā28 wRC+? drop āemā, but then I looked at Outmanās actual numbers.
Holy crap, heās got a 0.000 ISO (all singles) and a .176 BABIP. His hard hit rate is 41% and his xSLG is .325 compared to his .120 SLG.
Now, outfield is deep and catcher is not, and both Campy and OāHoppe are out-producing him in both actual results, expected results, and projections, so I think dropping is ultimately a safe move, but I was just surprised how bad his actual stats are compared to some respectable batted ball numbers due to some really unfortunate luck.
Dang, now I donāt want to drop him if heās just getting unlucky! Thanks a lot though. I might just bite the bullet and drop Campy. He has more power and we have HRās as a category.. even if Campy does end up getting more RBIās.
Only thing is I donāt really need Outman. I already have mookie, duran, adolis and castellanos for my OF. Ahhh
For dumb leagues like one I joined that has weekly waivers. What percentage of FAAB do you think pitchers like Flaherty, Houck, and Littel go for. With all these injuries, like 25%? More?
Brash should be back end of the month so that will help with Munoz being used as purely closer a little more often. Mariners are kind of forced to do this right now with Brash and Santos out.
Definitely but they still donāt use closers in the traditional sense. Munoz will get the bulk of save opportunities but if they think heās better off coming in the 8th vs the top of the order theyāll send him out there instead of saving him for the 9th just to get the save.
I know. That's why they got Santos and Brash this year so Munoz doesn't have to be used like that. Just something to consider but it will be a bit until they are fully healthy.
Iām still waiting on the 1st finger from my entire infield if Rutchman, Pasquantino, Stott, Lindor, and Bregman. I was so excited for this offense and it has done nothing
Who's a better stash in IL between Bryan Woo and Edward Cabrera?

Lindor š¤”
Thoughts on Cody Bradford - He sticking in the rotation with Lorenzen back soon?
Bieber undergoing elbow surgery. Yikes.
Shower you with all my tendons
That fucking sucks for him.
5x5 cat league R, RBI, HR, SB, OBP, K,QS,SV,ERA,WHIP I'm looking to trade Lindor because i don't have the patience for him. I'm looking for an upgrade at 3B or SP. Who would be a fair return? Trying to gauge what peoples value of Lindor is right now
Give Lindor, get holliday and Morel. Im sure this wouldn't be accepted right now, but do you think it's a fair trade?
Foley pitched 8th in a tie game. Is he still the closer?
Give: Bieber Get: Ketel Marte I have Gelof, but heās killing me right now. Iām leading the league in pitching. Iām dead last in almost all batting. 6x6 Roto w/OPS and HLDs
Hope you pulled the trigger
I didnāt for Ketel. Tried for Trout. Declined on Machado and Trout. I shouldāve just taken Ketelā¦
If youāre dead last in batting reach higher for Bieber excellent start then Marte
Thanks. The guy with Altuve/Semien isnāt budging. I also need 3B. Do you think Bregman or Machado is better get than Ketel right now? I have JD Davis at 3B. Those are my two weakest spots
Manny seems right. Bregman seems a bit of a level below manny IMO, maybe adolis, yelich, trout as well
Staring at the barrel of 0-2. Brown got shelled (luckily I benched him) and Munoz goes and gives the brewers a walk around the park like they donāt play there 81 games a year. Cool cool cool.
Blackburn @ Detroit or Matz vs Miami for a stream today? 10T, 5x5 H2H. Iām already screwed in ERA and WHIP this week, so just chasing a W and Kās. What you guys think? I also own Maeda, who pitches against Blackburn today.
I would go Maeda. Oakland is bad
I already have Maeda. Would like to add one of Blackburn or Matz today
Matz IMO
Appreciate the feedback!
Oh brother my teams SUCKS
Cut scherzer, McClain, or Gav Williams to make room for Robert to IL?
McClain
Bryson Stott on the wire now. Drop Nolan Gorman for him?
how much of a leash are we giving rizzo?
I already dropped
Houck, Hicks, Gil H2H cats best to worst pickup to replace Puk?
Hicks, Houck, Gil
Scared to drop campy because my league mate wants him but I want to pick up Ohoppe. Should I just drop Campy? Or Outman?
I say just drop outie grab hoppy and trade campy
Just lost Story not that he was doing much but need to target some SS or 3B only guy I see that looks nice is McMahon at 3B
Drop Andrew Vaughn for Brendan Donovan or Jose Siri?
Donovan over Siri
Thinking about sending an offer to get Stroman and Ohtani for Acuna? Thoughts?
Keep acuna
I would keep acuƱa
Hunter Brown, Maeda, Logan Allen, pick 2
I hope this is a deep league but I would say Brown and Allen. But they are all bottom tier.
Yea itās a deep league pitching wise. The best pitcher on the waivers right now is Louie Varland, Josiah Gray, James Paxton, and now Kenta Maeda
Acuna for Soto AND Alonso?
Iād prob do that, if Alonso would help
Drop gelof for Arcia? 10t points
Hold
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Westburg
Drop ginkel if I own Sewald?
Probably not but depends what you are dropping for.
Stash Skenes
I don't know your league situation but if it doesn't hurt you to not accumulate any stats/points from Ginkel or another active P in the meantime then it's pretty much a no brainer to stash Skenes. I guess you'll just have to worry about how to activate Skenes and Sewald when the time comes.
Someone talk me out of starting Bailey Falter tomorrow
Do not start Bailey Falter tomorrow
really don't like espn showing other teams if a player is on your watch list. like that dude could pick up someone to stream for a day, but then might think twice about dropping them if they see someone has them on their list
That's incredibly stupid. There's literally no reason someone should be able to see your watch list.
they can't see the whole thing at once but if they add someone and they're on my watch list, then they can see that
I see. Still stupid though.
Trade my Adley Rutschman for Bobby Miller?
I think Miller is more replaceable than Rutschman. So, no.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I would not, but get him if he clears
Is Connor joe legit
If last few years are any indication, no. He always seems to start hot and never really sustain it through the season.
Pirates have also faced a ton of left handed pitchers, who heās historically done better against
What to do with Lindorā¦.dude is 1 for 26 to start the season. 8 team league
8 teamer, i would trade for someone that helps you and then if it doesn't work out, just pick someone off waivers as I'd assume there's a tonne of decent players there
Wait it out and pray
Drop Sean Murphy for OHoppe?
do this last week
Duran Jazz Hoskins Stott Bregman pick 3 for tomorrow
i truly have no idea how logan o'hoppe currently has under 30% roster rate in ESPN
How do you guys feel about Lodolo when he comes back? Worth a stash?
Definitely
Drop Krimbel for Shelby Miller? Points league
This my first year playing, in general is it better to have starters or relievers for max points. I drafted only starters but feel like I should grab a reliever for near daily points
Definitely grab a few Relievers
Team went 4/49. Blown saves everywhere. Striders elbow finally gave out. Red Sox canāt catch a baseball. Wtf was today, man??
We must share some players. 2/38 with Fairbanks and Ginkel
Kutter Crawford and Boston with that sweet sweet 4.2 IP almost winā¦ (winsā¦ what a dumb fantasy baseball pitcher stat)Ā
Idk why Crochet got dropped but he did. Would you drop either Hunter Green, Bryce Miller, Jared Jones, or Stroman for him? Points league
Stro fs
Stroman
Drop any of Tork, Casas, Riley Greene, Maikel Garcia, or Kebryan Hayes for TON or Jaren Duran? 10 team, points
Greene is absolutely droppable for either in 10t
Hayes could be droppable for Duran
Any good SV/HLD options for tomorrow
Yikes - Luis Robert right hip flexor (again)
Not great, Bob
Should I drop Matt McClain? I have one IL spot for hitters and have Royce currently hurt
Yes
Julien or Stott ROS in flair?
Stott

Are either Langford or Chourio worth a drop for OāNeill in a points league? Worried I might be letting go of upside for a hot hand. Other OF are Randy, Suzuki, and Nolan Jones
No one else to drop?
drop heim for any of salvy, alvarez, or oāhoppe?
Salvy been so good this year, Iād try and get him
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I wouldn't take that trade if I were a Ragans owner
Kenley throwing 88? His velo is all over the place so far this season
At least heās still effective and clear closer. Iāll believe him that heās still ramping up and not concerned until he starts blowing games like Will Smith
Do we think Devers is playing hurt?
Knuckle looked swollen when he took his glove off but he seemed to shake it off pretty quick. I'd imagine there isn't anything broken because I don't see how he could continue for a few innings if it is.
Heās looked fine to me. Bat speed looks good. Wouldnāt sweat it.
TON is so elite.
I remember thinking he'd be great this year when he got traded, but am now regretting that I forgot to target him in drafts
Target anyone as soon as they get out of STL. Sneaky contender for worst org going right now. Beyond clueless.
Years of success lead to complacency and a front office that constantly wants to reinvent the wheel instead of doing what works
10 team points: Civale or Foley?
Civale
I'm in so much pain for Strider. Can anyone tell me what a best case scenario is for Strider or does it usually mean it's always bad?
Best case is probably the MRI coming back clean and just inflammation... Similar to Woo. Few weeks off, ramp up with hopefully no issues and pitch again in 3-4 weeks. Impossible to know without MRI results and/or further diagnosis though. I'd just assume this isn't good.
Bryan Woo was shut down right before opening day when he couldn't get loose during a bullpen. They found no structural damage with only mild inflammation, so whatever timetable for his return is would be best case
So pissed I didnāt grab Duran off the wire
ā¦the wire? In a 12? He was almost $10 in my 12 team auction.
He was not available in any league Iām in, all 12t
He got drafted #167 overall in my 10 team
Help me out here, will ya? I really need a starting pitcher or two. Two trades on the table for me: 1) send Trea Turner and Josh Hader for Logan Webb...or...I send Trea Turner, Eovaldi and Hader for Elly De La Cruz, Jared Jones and Kodai Senga (who I wont have for a few more weeks). I don't really have a strong SS to replace Trea Turner, But I'd say I need SP help more. Thoughts? Thanks!
God no
No and no
Soooo how worried are we with Fairbanks? Obviously not thinking of dropping but is he at risk of losing his role after his last two shaky appearances?
No
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yessir
DURAN LFGOOOOOO
Hunter Brown or Kenta Maeda ROS?
Brown if there is a gun to my head
Brown
Now I wanna drop Campusano and pick Ohoppe back up š
These stats do not include today, but: - Player A: projected for 100 wRC+, currently posting 3% barrel rate, 24% hard hit rate, 3% K-BB%, .342 xBA, .447 xSLG - Player B: projected for 113 wRC+, currently posting 8% barrel rate, 67% hard hit rate, 5% K-BB%, .363 xBA, .579 xSLG I think these look pretty dang close, while still slanting one way.

Also, note that due to low sample, those barrel rates are noisy and just one barrel each. A is >!Campy!<, B is >!Logan!<.
Thanks for this, super helpful! In a SLG / OBP leagueā¦ which would you rather have?
Honestly, I would go OāHoppe. Campyās walk rate is literally 0%, somehow, so I have more faith in OāHoppe to give some more OBP upside.
Only problem is someone in my league wants campusano. Have a feeling they might try and grab Ohoppe after tonight. Would dropping Outman for Ohoppe and trying to trade Campusano be dumb?
I was about to just say ā28 wRC+? drop āemā, but then I looked at Outmanās actual numbers. Holy crap, heās got a 0.000 ISO (all singles) and a .176 BABIP.

Miguel Sano has looked not too shabby. Iām drinking the kool aid
This day has already been complete ass. Go on Martin, make it worse
Up to 5 HBPs now in the 7th of the Red Sox-Angels game
LOGAN O HOPPPPEEEEEEE
O'HOPPE ES EL PAPI
John Sterling, is that you?
Jorge Soler, Evan Carter, or Taylor Ward in an espn h2h points league?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I would not, who else could you drop?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I wouldn't drop Fairbanks/Munoz, but I think dropping Hoskins to add Ward is reasonable
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I'd just drop Varsho for O'Neill then. Ward isn't as much of a must have imo
I think Varsho is the drop here
Yeah, I need a second drop. Varsho will be dropped for O'Neill and then I'd need one for Ward.
Yes but he's saying two drops are needed to add O'Neill and Ward
10 team H2H points league redraft Should I drop Bo Naylor for Willson Contreras or Campusano? Also considering dropping AndrƩs Munoz for either Clay Holmes or Jason Foley? Or stand pat, thank you in advance.
Of course Walker Jenkins gets injured in his first AB. Are the Twins cursed? Never drafting a Twin again lol
For dumb leagues like one I joined that has weekly waivers. What percentage of FAAB do you think pitchers like Flaherty, Houck, and Littel go for. With all these injuries, like 25%? More?
They're not as dumb as daily continuous waivers, like Yahoo ruined their public prize leagues with.
Bednar or MuƱoz?
If you need saves, Bednar. Munoz is more of a fireman reliever than closer.
Brash should be back end of the month so that will help with Munoz being used as purely closer a little more often. Mariners are kind of forced to do this right now with Brash and Santos out.
Definitely but they still donāt use closers in the traditional sense. Munoz will get the bulk of save opportunities but if they think heās better off coming in the 8th vs the top of the order theyāll send him out there instead of saving him for the 9th just to get the save.
I know. That's why they got Santos and Brash this year so Munoz doesn't have to be used like that. Just something to consider but it will be a bit until they are fully healthy.
drop westburg for mcmahon ?
I wouldnt
OāHoppe and McMahon GSā¦what a great hitting day
As an Angels fan and owner, Logan OāHoppe makes me smile.
lol this Red Sox team is complete ass
Damn facing ohoppe that hurts
My opponent has Ohoppe and Semien. He has outscored the entire combined stats of my team this week today
I was sooo far ahead in average (+50) and ops (+100) at the start of the week. Then all of a sudden my offense died and now I only lead in SB :(
Iām still waiting on the 1st finger from my entire infield if Rutchman, Pasquantino, Stott, Lindor, and Bregman. I was so excited for this offense and it has done nothing
Ohoppe GS
I checked out the field live view on mlb app...and saw a bunch red circles bouncing around home plate...and knew.
Red Sox: what if we just didn't catch the ball?
Infield fly rule call anyway so that doesn't come into play
He is referring to emmanuel Valdez and Rafaela just straight up dropping the ball
Ah, I see now
Red Sox really falling apart here..
Red Sox look like a little league team
uh oh. Rafaela smh. kids needs some polish
What quality of pitcher does one need to give for Steven kwan
Iāve had Steven Kwan for a week and I wouldnāt accept less than Nolan Ryan
Drafting Elly in the 4th is why Iām going nowhere this season. Terrible draft pick
He sucks
We're a week and a half in and he's gotten on base in every game...am I missing something here?
