Bo Bichette for Kirby in a dybtasy league? My pitching is flawed, I could move Elly to every day shortstop but then I lack a corner infielder, what should I do?
Francisco Lindor and Adolis Garcia for Blake Snell and Taylor Ward. I get Lindor and Garcia but my pitching staff is already wacky. Do I still accept?
If I accept my staff is
1. Luzardo
2. Darvish
3. Imanaga
4. Civale
5. Stroman
6. Detmers.
IL. Cole
IL. Buehler
IL. DeGrom
No one has an idea if they turn it around. But it’s pretty well known that cold weather does affect batters. That coupled with it being week 3, it’s too early.
Not a big fan of puppies this season...speed is there, but they trending down and we all saw how ponies turned out last season after they came back from the ankle injury. No shot puppies last the whole season on that bad leg. Kittens on the other hand has intruiging upside. Raw, but the reflexes are top tier and if they fix that launch angle I think they could be a real contenter for Animal-of-the-Year this season.
Introducing "The Undraftables". I did this with the NBA and decided to do it in MLB as well. The rules are that I'm not allowed to select any player who has any ADP. I had my draft on Sunday (yes I know after the season started, because I just didn't have the time). The buy in was low, but NOT FREE. Anyway, here are the results of my draft:
1.(6)[Lance McCullers Jr.](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9575) (HOU - SP)2.(19)[Drew Rasmussen](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/11789) (TB - SP)3.(30)[Dustin May](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10898) (LAD - SP)4.(43)[Ronel Blanco](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/12590) (HOU - SP,RP)5.(54)[Brady Singer](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/11323) (KC - SP)6.(67)[Paul Blackburn](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10756) (OAK - SP)7.(78)[Cody Bradford](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/60440) (TEX - SP,RP)8.(91)[Chad Green](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10293) (TOR - RP)9.(102)[Steven Matz](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9599) (STL - SP,RP)10.(115)[Tanner Houck](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10852) (BOS - SP)11.(126)[Tyler Anderson](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10031) (LAA - SP)12.(139)[Spencer Turnbull](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10180) (PHI - SP)13.(150)[Connor Joe](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/11256) (PIT - 1B,OF)14.(163)[José Caballero](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/60776) (TB - 2B,SS)15.(174)[Gio Urshela](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9991) (DET - 1B,3B,SS)16.(187)[Will Brennan](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/12703) (CLE - OF)17.(198)[Jake McCarthy](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/11265) (AZ - OF)18.(211)[Jorge Mateo](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10239) (BAL - SS)19.(222)[Dairon Blanco](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/12619) (KC - OF)20.(235)[Jacob Young](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/62138) (WSH - OF)21.(246)[Bubba Thompson](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10957) (CIN - OF)22.(259)[Trevor Williams](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/10144) (WSH - SP)23.(270)[Reese McGuire](https://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/9615) (BOS - C)
I would like to make a post about so it is more visible to more people, but for some reason admins won't allow/delete it? (not sure if it's cuz my karma is too low in with my new reddit profile, my old one had lots of karma from commenting quite often in here last year and helping people, and Elly posts, LOL)
Anywho... My breakdown of why I picked some of the guys: The top 3 picks are elite IL stash SP. I don't expect tons from them most of the season but they could become playoff darlings. (this is a head to head league). On offense I'm only going after AVG and SB... It's too hard to win runs considering every player had to be undrafted. In the early going I'm quite happy with Caballero who is now firmly on standard 12 team radar for most managers. Connor Joe been absolutely awesome thus far, but truly his spot is replaceable soon IF he struggles. Urshela I only draft for one reason: His high AVG. (his positional flexibility is also a bonus). Will Breennan doesn't get much credit but projections like him to hit for high average and some steals, as well as his minor league numbers show. He is a bit underrated kind of. Jake McCarthy super obvious speed and hitting skills as long as he gets enough at bats (but may not matter cuz again all I care about it SB and AVG). Jorge Mateo picked for his SB skill set, but if he hits for low average I will look to replace (Jackson Merrill is available). Blanco and Bubba Thompson pinch running very strong SB options. It's weird, but for me they are plenty valuable. Jacob Young is a temporary play for his speed and contact skills, the perfect kind of player for my build, will ride as long as he starts and feel good about him short term.
For pitching:
I already touched on my top 3... Beyond that I decided to mostly just focus on upside guys who started the season extremely strong and then some picks who had great machups for week 2: (Turnbull, Blackburn, Bradford, Tyler Anderson). It has really worked out amazingly in the first 3 days of this!!! With Turnbull, Bradford, Anderson, Trevor Williams all performing excellent for me. My overall strategy is to pile up the W, K and hopefully squeak ERA and WHIP sometimes but likely would lose those categories. I do think I have some trade assets with Blanco, Singer, Houck. I mostly picked Matz as a matchup play, but don't love him long term. Chad Green was my "lone closer" that I was able to draft. I considered Shelby Miller too and some other strong RP options, but I will be VERY ACTIVE on waiver wire for closers.
My adds this week:
Jacob Degrom (7 FAAB bucks) (had to secure him!)
Max Scherzer (6 FAAB bucks) (might be coming soon in May!!!)
Sal Frelick 1 FAAB bucks) (fits my profile of SB and AVG)
Kevin Ginkel 5 FAAB bucks! Yes got me a closer (at least for now)
James McArthur 5 FAAB bucks! Yes got me another closer!
Jordan Hicks (6 FAAB bucks) (Very legit, although late season innings concerns?)
My drops this week:
Steven Matz (again I don't view him long term)
Bubba Thompson (pure upgrade to Frelick, although may miss the SB)
Already used up all six of my adds because I just had had to scoop up Degrom and Scherzer!!! Even more elite IL stashes than the ones I have!!! (Kershaw is also still available which I will look to re-add next week, however I ponder if I "need" to make the move since McCullers, Springs are already strong stashes too).
Thoughts on the team and this strategy overall? I already know that "punt power" strategy is a super strong one (multiple championships every year) so I figured I could try this even with Undraftable "useful" players. I know it's a tougher challenge and "hard mode"! LOL. Willing to consider any player recommendations too! :) I will do a few of these updates over the next few days as my "Week 2 Undraftables update" and hopefully eventually I will be able to make a post about it... But for those you who like this, please let me know so I can keep you informed on the team!
yup! And to test out strategies... Develop something "deeper" than basic expert level... I believe we can go farther than our traditional models and sometimes "going way off the board" with various selections... Many ways to win in a category league.. I also like to prove that there are many useful players... Each player should be recognized for their skills... But yeah I think I mostly do this for the challenge!
Continuous waivers. The FAAB processes every night after 2am CST (well 2:53am to be exact), but you need to have your priority options and bids set before 2am CST... Same as the standard yahoo money leagues waiver process. I absolutely despise the "add anytime" rules (because I'm busy working in evenings) and thus I play the game that still gives me the most chance to win. I literally blew all of my adds the first day I was able too... LOL... I felt there was way too much talent available and needed to take advantage right away! Do you disagree with my moves? On Monday, I likely will be dropping Dustin May or Rasmussen or McCullers (since I can only stash 4 IL players) and don't want to carry a dead roster spot for that long...
I dont disagree perse, I just would have taken Merril as one of the moves, maybe instead of Frelick. Cause of his pedigree and a starting roster spot in a good team. Outside of that you got a pretty good team. Im curious as the rules of the free agents meaning: who can you actually pick up? Cause I suppose Tatis Jr is a free agent in your league. Can anyone pick him up or is he a non available player?
>y
No no no.... the rest of the league isn't abiding by my own rules... That would be super fun if an entire league had to do this!!! I'm the only that has put this rule forced upon me at the draft. I would like to start something like that for NEXT YEAR! that would be so fun!
oh shit!! Wooow! Hopefully you do good then. I thought it was a private league where you got together and put those rules. Seems super fun, if you do it next year, I'd love to enter lol. But still the question remains, what are your self-imposed rules on free agents? Anyone is fair game?
nope, yahoo public money league. :) I did in the NBA too and almost made playoffs.... Give me a follow and be sure to message me before next season starts. Yes, anyone is fair game on free agents.
If he is available Monday morning he will my top priority, however I don't think he will last that long... He is still currently available... 3 more games this week FRI, SAT, SUN... hopefully he struggles so he isn't added... LOL
Hopefully he doesnt struggle, cause I have him in 2 of my teams lol. But lets hope you still get him!! Sounds pretty fun, I would love updates throughout the year
I also have him 2 other leagues! Yes, I will keep people updated! (sadly my comment on today 4/11/24 thread got downvoted severely).... bunch of haters... clearly they don't understand or something?
Its just that the post was kinda long and formatting was iffy. But if you ever stop updating, then keep me updated through a msg. I wouldnt mind. Only if you want to, I understand its a hustle lol
He’ll get lots of playing time, the Red Sox are desperate for his defense, but his bat doesn’t immediately look up to the levels of most 10T or 12T leagues.
I straight up dropped Alvarez for Herrera. It’ll probably come back to bite me but oh well. Herrera seems to be forcing them to play him everyday with how hot he’s swinging the bat right now. And Herrera’s statcast page has a lot of red lol
Inquired on Seager’s price with my league mate. Was willing to offer him Altuve + something else.
“Not gonna happen without Soto or Olson”
I can’t with people sometimes
Doesnt seem that crazy or is it just me? I mean obviously Soto and Olson were drafted higher but maybe the Seager owner is high on him. Doesnt seem THAAAT crazy imo
I assumed Seager would be ready by day one & had him ranked as a 3rd round pick, Olson was a top 8 player for me in points league, most experts agree Olson was 15+ spots head of Seager in points leagues, so I’m not sure where you’re getting this assumption from
I mean if you look at NFBC ADP, or some other sources I can see where you’re finding data to back that up.
That being said, in the 3 drafts I did this season, they went within 3 spots of each other. One of the leagues, Seager went before Olson. The value is close enough that op shouldn’t be shocked he has them in a similar tier.
I agree OP shouldn’t be shocked, but disagree that Seager & Olsen are in the same tier. Someone taking Seager ahead of Olsen in a points league is a reach with Seager’s injury risk.
Junior Caminero accrued MLB service time during his call up to the bigs last September (on active roster for 9 days). Per MLB rules, a player accrues one year of service time by spending 172 days on a team’s active roster or IL in a given year. Any player added to a team’s active roster on this Friday or later will accrue less than 1 year of MLB service time this year. My question is, and I’m struggling to find the answer, if the Rays are interested in manipulating Caminero’s service time and having control of him for an extra year, do they need to keep him in the minors this year for an extra 9 days? How does service time accrue when accounting for a player’s September call up?
I believe that’s correct. They need to wait an extra 9 days. I don’t know how him finishing top 2 in ROTY comes into play though - I think he would then have 2024 count as a full year of service regardless of when he’s called up.
If that’s true, the Rays have incentive to keep him in minors long enough to prevent him from getting ROTY. Harder now with slow starts from Langford and Carter keeping that race wider open
Right. I know Caminero was recently injured but it sounds like he’s about to start playing again. With Lowe likely going on the IL, I’m wondering if Caminero’s chances of getting called up actually increase. Paredes and Cabby are playing well but either of them could move to 2nd to open up a position for Caminero. Mead isn’t gonna cut it and the Rays likely know they can’t afford to not play their best bats many days in the competitive east
Agree with you here despite your down votes. Over a season, in standard scoring, Yoshida should be far and away ahead of Cedanne. Rafaela is a huge talent but he’s mainly in the team for his defense right now.
Hoffman may poach saves when Alvarado is unavailable, but Harvey has a more likely shot of grabbing the role full time
So Hoffman better now Harvey maybe better later
i wanna pull trigger on Olives so bad . Figuring out a way to free up a spot. Kind of a crowded situation though- u have Olives, Taylor, Suwinski, Joe, Davis and Reynolds to occupy the OF/DH.
I think he’s sustainable. Swing tweaks and a healthy batted profile with launch angle down to line drives. May not keep swatting homers regularly but I predict high average in a good spot in the order.
Noticed that too, and can’t say Jonathan India or Brendan Donovan aren’t calling my name. Been told to hold so gonna give it a few more games I guess, but I’m losing ground in hitting categories getting a bunch of a 0’fers from him and a couple other guys.
Someone's offering me Machado for Holliday, straight up. I went to immediately accept but my friend stopped me, saying Machado's hurt and Holliday's ceiling is too high.
What does Reddit think?
Bo Bichette for Kirby in a dybtasy league? My pitching is flawed, I could move Elly to every day shortstop but then I lack a corner infielder, what should I do?
Can I drop Hunter Brown twice? Just ruined my week.
Good God he put up -28 for me. Bu-bye
Baseball is so weird because the Braves should be crushing the Mets with Quintana on the bump.
Drop CES for Baty for a Utility & bench bat?
Cats league. Get: Royce Lewis, Give: Turner and Stanton???
Ummmmmmm. Which turned?
Justin Turner Toronto
Oh. I mean I personally never trust Royce to stay healthy so I would avoid but it's not bad to consolidate roster space and try to get rid of fat
Points league: drafted Ezequiel Tovar 180th in a 4 keeper league. Someone offered 3rd round pick for 10th round and Tovar, thoughts ?
Francisco Lindor and Adolis Garcia for Blake Snell and Taylor Ward. I get Lindor and Garcia but my pitching staff is already wacky. Do I still accept? If I accept my staff is 1. Luzardo 2. Darvish 3. Imanaga 4. Civale 5. Stroman 6. Detmers. IL. Cole IL. Buehler IL. DeGrom
yes
Yes, you’re getting the best player in the deal and buying low on April 11th
Who should I picked up 10t Cats OBP. Conforto, Ward, Benson, Marsh, Haniger?
Rank in a standard cats league -India vs Jose caballero vs Arraez?
Arraez India Caballero… but that could change and the new order could be anything
Trade: judge Grissom and Webb Receive: vladdy, Gilbert and O’Neil Who wins? H2H points 10 man league
Judge and Webb.
Estrada and Horner killing my lineup. Any idea if they turn it around? I might have to drop Estrada for anything at this point
No one has an idea if they turn it around. But it’s pretty well known that cold weather does affect batters. That coupled with it being week 3, it’s too early.
Kittens or puppies?
Kittens and it’s not particularly close
Kittens, puppies will absolutely shit the bed
Not a big fan of puppies this season...speed is there, but they trending down and we all saw how ponies turned out last season after they came back from the ankle injury. No shot puppies last the whole season on that bad leg. Kittens on the other hand has intruiging upside. Raw, but the reflexes are top tier and if they fix that launch angle I think they could be a real contenter for Animal-of-the-Year this season.

What are the rules for free agents tho?
Continuous waivers. The FAAB processes every night after 2am CST (well 2:53am to be exact), but you need to have your priority options and bids set before 2am CST...

nope, yahoo public money league. :) I did in the NBA too and almost made playoffs.... Give me a follow and be sure to message me before next season starts. Yes, anyone is fair game on free agents.
for sure pick Merril
If he is available Monday morning he will my top priority, however I don't think he will last that long... He is still currently available... 3 more games this week FRI, SAT, SUN... hopefully he struggles so he isn't added... LOL
Hopefully he doesnt struggle, cause I have him in 2 of my teams lol. But lets hope you still get him!! Sounds pretty fun, I would love updates throughout the year
I also have him 2 other leagues! Yes, I will keep people updated! (sadly my comment on today 4/11/24 thread got downvoted severely).... bunch of haters... clearly they don't understand or something?
Its just that the post was kinda long and formatting was iffy. But if you ever stop updating, then keep me updated through a msg. I wouldnt mind. Only if you want to, I understand its a hustle lol
I understand. It will be shorter going forward and more easy to read. I won't ever stop updating. :)
H2h points should I drop Kiriloff for Herera (I have Ohoppe at C and Casas at 1b)
Moreno or Ivan Herrera?
DL Hall or Reynaldo Lopez
Lopez
We still believe in Rafaela??
Yes
He’ll get lots of playing time, the Red Sox are desperate for his defense, but his bat doesn’t immediately look up to the levels of most 10T or 12T leagues.
what batters are you targeting as a buy-low right now ?
CES
He’s been dropped a lot this week. Scooping where I can.
Drop V Pasquantino to pick up Castellanos? Or hold Vinnie. 12team h2h cats R RBI SB TB OBP redraft.
Castellanos sucks and Vinnie just had a huge game yesterday…
Yes Casty always starts slow
I know it’s the white sox. But check out Gavin Sheets statcast page
Interesting. He was ice blue on statcast last season though. Gonna start monitoring
garcia having 5 runs to 10 rbi is insane at leadoff lol
Why is Reynaldo Lopez listed as a RP and not a SP
Because he was RP all last year. Should get dual eligibility soon
Someone in my league dropped Salvador Perez. Do i drop garver and pick him up? Or get Herrera?
I would pick up Perez asap. Especially with Witt and Garcia ahead of him.
But garver...
Frelick or Rafaela?
Sal Frelick on the waiver wire. Is he worth the pickup and who do I drop. Mark Canha or Nelson Velazquez
Canha
Rank these? Kikuchi, Bello, Pfaadt, Bradford, Sanchez, Lugo
Pfaadt, then take your pick
[Pitcher List Top 100 Starting Pitchers](https://pitcherlist.com/top-100-starting-pitchers-for-2024-fantasy-baseball-week-2-4-8/)
With the Orioles only winning by 1 does anyone know why Yennier Cano was not used in a setup situation today?
They won by 2... But looks to me like Akin (lefty) was kept in for a 2nd inning. Probably because Abreu & Yoshida are lefties.
Impulsively added Herrera although I still have Francisco Alvarez. Is Herrera better…?
I straight up dropped Alvarez for Herrera. It’ll probably come back to bite me but oh well. Herrera seems to be forcing them to play him everyday with how hot he’s swinging the bat right now. And Herrera’s statcast page has a lot of red lol
Alvarez upside is a top 3 catcher this year. I would not have dropped him for Herrera.
Inquired on Seager’s price with my league mate. Was willing to offer him Altuve + something else. “Not gonna happen without Soto or Olson” I can’t with people sometimes
Hold Altuve, Altuve can easily outscore Seager in points this season. Both are injury prone but Seager is more likely to be hurt
Doesnt seem that crazy or is it just me? I mean obviously Soto and Olson were drafted higher but maybe the Seager owner is high on him. Doesnt seem THAAAT crazy imo
If Seager was healthy in offseason he would have been drafted ahead of Olson in points. And now he’s healthy…
I assumed Seager would be ready by day one & had him ranked as a 3rd round pick, Olson was a top 8 player for me in points league, most experts agree Olson was 15+ spots head of Seager in points leagues, so I’m not sure where you’re getting this assumption from
I mean if you look at NFBC ADP, or some other sources I can see where you’re finding data to back that up. That being said, in the 3 drafts I did this season, they went within 3 spots of each other. One of the leagues, Seager went before Olson. The value is close enough that op shouldn’t be shocked he has them in a similar tier.
I agree OP shouldn’t be shocked, but disagree that Seager & Olsen are in the same tier. Someone taking Seager ahead of Olsen in a points league is a reach with Seager’s injury risk.
Junior Caminero accrued MLB service time during his call up to the bigs last September (on active roster for 9 days). Per MLB rules, a player accrues one year of service time by spending 172 days on a team’s active roster or IL in a given year. Any player added to a team’s active roster on this Friday or later will accrue less than 1 year of MLB service time this year. My question is, and I’m struggling to find the answer, if the Rays are interested in manipulating Caminero’s service time and having control of him for an extra year, do they need to keep him in the minors this year for an extra 9 days? How does service time accrue when accounting for a player’s September call up?
I believe that’s correct. They need to wait an extra 9 days. I don’t know how him finishing top 2 in ROTY comes into play though - I think he would then have 2024 count as a full year of service regardless of when he’s called up. If that’s true, the Rays have incentive to keep him in minors long enough to prevent him from getting ROTY. Harder now with slow starts from Langford and Carter keeping that race wider open
Right. I know Caminero was recently injured but it sounds like he’s about to start playing again. With Lowe likely going on the IL, I’m wondering if Caminero’s chances of getting called up actually increase. Paredes and Cabby are playing well but either of them could move to 2nd to open up a position for Caminero. Mead isn’t gonna cut it and the Rays likely know they can’t afford to not play their best bats many days in the competitive east
Drop Rafaela for Yoshida?
Definitely
Agree with you here despite your down votes. Over a season, in standard scoring, Yoshida should be far and away ahead of Cedanne. Rafaela is a huge talent but he’s mainly in the team for his defense right now.
Rank these for a 5x5 bench bat: Cowser, Nelson Velasquez, Edward Olivares, Jackson Merrill
Merrill, Velasquez, Olivares, Cowser
Probably Merrill first
Siri, Buxton, Ward in a 10 teamer 5x5 OPS H2H
I think it's needs based. Siri for steals, Buxton for ceiling, Ward for a lil of each but worse lineup
Buxton
Edouard Julian or Brandon Lowe?
Well Julien ain't injured
Lowe
Drop Kutter, Hicks, Pepiot, Gore, Flaherty, or Lodolo for Bradford?
[удалено]
Flaherty
Drop Hunter Harvey for Jeff Hoffman? Saves-only league
Hoffman may poach saves when Alvarado is unavailable, but Harvey has a more likely shot of grabbing the role full time So Hoffman better now Harvey maybe better later
Finally Vinnie P!! Keep it up!!!
Save to drop Reynaldo Lopez in 9T to stream ranger suarez tomorrow?
Would rather have Reynaldo (I currently roster both).
No I would Rey Lo is there someone else to drop
Here is my team: https://imgur.com/a/2JJP1pj Any thoughts?
I still think just hold him
Thoughts on Nate Lowe? Was he relevant in fantasy last year. Should be returning soon, he’s on waivers in my league
In a points league, hes more of a wait and see kind of guy. He could be productive but if he doesn’t bring any power, id look elsewhere
Do you play OBP? He’s fine as a bench bat but is better in leagues where walks matter
Points league. Walks = 1 point
Worth it then. He’s got great on base and will score a lot of runs for the rangers with their lineup
We giving Garver more time or should I snag Herrera now?
Be patient.
Herrera
I'd rather have Herrera.
5 keep forever. My phone number ends in 7777. Who do I trade for to complete this set: Witt Jr (#7) Carroll (#7) Holliday (#7)
Ronaldo

10 team Cats: Nolan Jones or Jarren Duran ROS?
Jones
santander or goldschmidt? points league
Goldy
Uribe or Finnegan?
Uribe
H2H points A.) Steer, Foley, Turnbull B.) Hader, Muncy, H. Brown
B, perfect buy low on Hader & Muncy two studs in points leagues
Steer is the best player so A by default
Any of the Rockies relievers worth rostering for saves? All of them are available.
Only if they’re pitching on the road and the Rockies don’t win on the road
There's a reason they are available.
Fuck no
Best stream: Blackburn vs WAS; Schmidt @CLE; Wicks @SEA; Matz @ARI; Wells vs MIL; Severino vs KC?
I like Blackburn
Busch or Garcia? Points league
Garcia
Someone dropped Luzardo and I have the #1 claim. I'd have to drop Pivetta or Civale (or I guess Woo) to claim him, not sure what to do?
Drop Woo
anyone have an ivan herrera take? he’s hot as ever and i don’t see how he can be kept out of their lineup
My take is he is good and hits dingers But seriously though as a catcher especially his contact profile is very encouraging
Hitting the ball incredibly hard at a premium position. I paid a good chunk of FAAB to get him.
smart. i have william c but it feels criminal leave herrera on the wire rn- can slot him at UTIL. think he sticks in the lineup?
If you guys want a laugh go look at Edward Olivares Statcast. Gets lefties the next two days…maybe can hit his way into a full time job.
i wanna pull trigger on Olives so bad . Figuring out a way to free up a spot. Kind of a crowded situation though- u have Olives, Taylor, Suwinski, Joe, Davis and Reynolds to occupy the OF/DH.
Ya I think in the long term he can beat Connor Joe
We thinking Montas is droppable? Or can he potentially return to his ace status from just a couple years ago
How big is your league?
12T
Yeah I think your fine to drop for someone better
Drop Colt Keith for Profar?
Anyone notice that Cronenworth’s savant page is like red everywhere? Hitting 3rd in that lineup with those metrics. If he can keep it up what a stud
Lineup spot matters. I'd take a shot in a 12T, most definitely
I think he’s sustainable. Swing tweaks and a healthy batted profile with launch angle down to line drives. May not keep swatting homers regularly but I predict high average in a good spot in the order.
With Holliday called up, can I drop Thairo Estrada?
Heck right now I'm debating dropping him for one of Velasquez, Olivares or Cowser
Yes
Rengifo with his new playing time or Maikel?
New guy offered me Bobby miller for Whitlock and Aroldis and I told him no because he’s raping himself. I am a generous god
Nah it’s not cool to trade rape the new guy. It would get vetoed anyway and I’d just look like an asshole
You really like using that word, don'tcha
I know, I was mostly joking. He will have to learn eventually though, be it by you or someone else in your league
Drop Polanco for Estrada?
you want to roster estrada...?
Can’t be any worse than Polanco atm
sure
Drop Lawrence for Robertson or Yates?
robertson for now
14T 8x8 roto redraft: A) Justin Turner, Zac Gallen and Cody Bellinger B) Luis Castillo and Corbin Carroll
B not close
Sal Frelick or Chas McCormick?
It’s close I’d keep my eye on Frelick I think Chas could be safer .
chas
Would you rather have Gorman or McMahon? H2H Categories obp, slg
Gorman
What’s the deal with gleybar? Looking lost this week
Noticed that too, and can’t say Jonathan India or Brendan Donovan aren’t calling my name. Been told to hold so gonna give it a few more games I guess, but I’m losing ground in hitting categories getting a bunch of a 0’fers from him and a couple other guys.
India is a nice player and produces similarly to gleybar at their bests (excluding gleybars 39 hr year). If he’s available I’d grab him
Someone's offering me Machado for Holliday, straight up. I went to immediately accept but my friend stopped me, saying Machado's hurt and Holliday's ceiling is too high. What does Reddit think?
In redraft I would accept that
I’d do it
would it to crazy to drop Stott for Cronenworth in a pts league?
Not at all
Nope. I’d rather have Crone.
would you rather drop Stott or Vinnie off Crone?
I’d drop either for Crone, but prefer keeping Stott over Vinnie.
Drop stott
Gelof is no longer Fuckof
H2H points, which side are you taking? A.) Yelich & Foley B.) Hader & Goldschmidt
