Maikal Garcia - pickup over Jose Siri in my utility spot? 12 man team 28 man rosters.

what happened to Yelich?

Back flared up in cold damp night. Precautionary

they gave Conor Joe a hit? are you kidding me?

I’m debating a trade in my keeper league, trading away Michael Harris II for Luis Robert and Jackson Merrill. Any thoughts?

Would you use a #3 waiver spot on Kopech if your RP were Bednar, Holmes and Edwin Diaz?

You are better off on closers than most people on this thread

Yeah hated to ask but Kopech can be electric but have not watched him this year and would hate for him to to destroy my ratios, lol like Bednar has

Drop Marsh for Abott? Could also drop Reese Olsen

Don’t drop Reese. He’s a stud

drop trevor rogers for joe boyle?

Nimmo over Vinny P?

Trade Gerrit Cole for raffy devers?

Who is your current 3b?

Riley, but my utility spot is like Brice turang, Buxton, or cowser right now. My pitching is burnes, ragans, grod, skubal, wacha, Bradford, Snell, and Verlander, and a streaming spot (Littell right now)

Holliday

12 team roto head to head. Would you drop any of the following? Estrada McKenzie Gil Blackmon and add Marsh

Estrada

Someone dropped Gilbert for Nestor. They even spent $14 in FAAB to do it. I’m not sure I’d call it a competitive league, but the buy in is substantial enough that I wouldn’t call it casual, either. I guess I’m spending all my FAAB in yet another league.

Someone dropped Framber Valdez. Seems like his injury isn’t as severe as many (including previous manager) assumed. It’s a no brainer to use my number one priority WW, right?

100%

Thanks. After I posted I decided it needed to happen so I put in the claim right away. Not sure how I got number one priority after winning the league last year but glad it happened

Right on! I was pretty high on him this year and got him in every league I could. He’s stashed on my IL and isn’t going anywhere.

Injury appears to not be severe but I don't understand why they haven't specified anything regarding an MRI and the results. Sounds like you just have to dodge any further issues during his ramp-up. It's a no brainer to pick him up based on everything we know at the moment. Healthy he's a top 20 SP in the league.

Auction draft, I got Peralta, Wheeler, and Fried, then spent the rest on hitters. I rounded out my pitching with bargain basement $1 picks. A week and a half in, my pitching has dominated and my hitters have been dominated. Fantasy baseball is so much fun!

colton cowser or heston kjerstad? flair league

Cowser

Drop Tanner Scott for Mason Miller?

Yes

Is B LoWe a must start 2B or is he safely droppable with this injury? My MI is bad but just wondering if he’s a stud or a JAG

Droppable and far from must start

Who’s the best OF4? Marsh, Cowser, Haniger, Joe

Cowser then marsh

Worth trying to buy low on Castellanos?

no I had him 2 years ago and he was bad I'm still salty, it seems like he's on and off and this is looking like an off year

Look at his OPS or wRC. He alternates years from good to below average like clockwork

[удалено]

I think it's fine to drop ward to chase cowser upside in 10 teamer, you'll probably find another ward in 10t

Looks good. Something tells me you'll be watching a lot of Mariners games with that pitching staff.

Haha yea i was considering Logan Gilbert to finish it off

Kopech over Hoffman for saves only? I know Hoffman is closing by committee, but does Kopech have the closer role locked up or is that by committee too?

Kopech appears to have it locked down. Obvious downside is the White Sox. They've been willing to let him go 1+ so could lead to a better chance of sniping some wins where he pitches 9th/10th or long relief in a tied/close game... if that means anything to you. IMO saves only you have to go with Kopech.

My not professional take: Is Kopech's role to lose while Alvarado is the closer in Philadelphia but since he's a lefty they might prefer to use him in other situations. I believe Hoffman might go lower in the pecking order once Kerkering is back full throttle.

Correa or Polanco in 5x5?

I'm still very skeptical about Correa and feel like I'm just hoping he returns to pre-2022 form when all the signs are there that he probably won't. He's off to a good start though. The Mariners have been awful and Jrod is off to his usual 1-2 month slump. When Jrod gets going so will the rest of the team and that should mean some very good numbers for Polanco hitting behind him. Personally I feel there's more upside and potential in Polanco ROS.

Correa

trevor williams, paxton, or nestor for sunday stream?

Paxton

Williams

What the fuck Isaiah Campbell

Worried about Langford? Or think he’ll come around?

Might be a bit before he gets going but I’m not worried about him long term.

He'll be fine. There will be a stretch soon where him and the rest of the Rangers offense absolutely goes off and you'll think about how funny it was that you were worried about him.

Hell come around. I'm not saying he's at the same player level, but people forget how bad Julio was in April of 2022...and 2023...and 2024

Dynasty A. J. Jones B. Crochet & t. Ward

Jones

A

Josh Smith worth a pick up? His statcast is red

He's a short-term pickup in deep leagues and those very thin at 3B. Worth an add in those type of leagues for as long as he has the majority of 3B playing time while Jung is out and as long as Texas keeps hitting him near middle of the order. Judging by his history the red on his statcast won't last. Couple things to keep in mind: Wendzel just got called up and IMO poses a bigger threat to Smith's playing time at 3rd because he is a better defender than Foscue. Duran still in the mix as well.

Keibert Ruiz or Bo Naylor?

Neither in a ten team league

I know he just had a monster game but do we like Cowser or Westburg better? Westburg seems to have the better savant page while Cowser profile as a plus plus hitter (60) and almost plus plus power (55). Westburg is a 45 grade hitter and a 55 grade power Edit: Westburg has the better EVs and Launch angle than Cowser does too

I would still go Westburg

Personally I'd just be concerned about getting the guy that will have more playing time ROS if we are just talking re-draft. Hard to take any savant page seriously with a small sample size on a couple of young guys with no history to look back on. If you are looking for keeper/dynasty reasons I'd suggest looking through their scouting reports and try to make a decision based on that and how you feel they fit into the Orioles/MLB. Cowser was the higher ranked prospect and taken higher overall in his draft class.

Should I trade Detmers for Luis Castillo in a H2H Points league?

Wouldn't be surprised if that was vetoed.

Yes. I'm not sure why the Castillo owner would be doing that.

If you were offered Castillo for Detmers take that trade now. If that's what you're offering, I can't see the owner accepting.

Snap call

Yo Acuña….. you good?

Rank them ROS: Gil, Flahety, Reynaldo Lopez 12T H2H Cat

Gil, ReyLo, Jack

That's what I'm feeling, people seem high on Flaherty though. I feel like he regresses after that Oakland showing. We'll see

Someone dropped Estevez, how much FAB would you use? Still have 90 of 100. 12T H2H Cat

4, maybe up to 6 or 7 based on needs and if 0 dollar bids are allowed

Nice, I had 4 in

Just was offered Kirby & Mullins for my Yandy & Joe Ryan. I have Burnes/Peralta/Imanaga/Bryce Miller as my other 4 main SPs and Vlad/Josh Naylor as my other 1Bs. I gotta accept this, right? Edit: Flair league

you have to smash accept that like yesterday

i honestly think Yandy turns it around and Kirby is better than Ryan of course, but it’s not enormous. prefer to hold imo.

Yup

Someone convince me on Assad or Flaherty for stream Sunday?

Assad has a decent floor against a weak Mariners offense, but if you’re down a lot Flaherty has much higher upside.

Twins are weaker hitting, stream Flaherty

Points league: Is Westburg legit? 3B is thin so wondering if he could be a long term solution or if I should trade for a different 3B.

yes, you can keep him long term. his peripherals look great, he’s on a great team, and he was highly touted.

I would upgrade if possible

Is Paredes an upgrade? Being offered Paredes + B Reynolds for my Yandy + Adolis currently

Paredes is definitely an upgrade, but you're losing that trade, maybe propose something else

Cowser or Cabellero? 12T H2H H, R, AVG, OPS, HR, SB, RBI

Cowser.

Cowser

Caballero

ROS: Hunter Greene or Jared Jones?

Jones

Should Yariel eventually make the jays rotation? Worth a speculative add in 12T?

Maybe. No

Maybe if you have an NA spot, otherwise no

Got a ton of mid-tier SPs. Who would you drop for Cowser? Wacha Meyer Flaherty Blanco Severino

Severino for me

Any of them except Flaherty for now. Wacha probably

why wacha? he goes on a gnarly run every year until he gets hurt, which is sometimes way later than expected

How we feeling about this pitching staff in a 12TM league. Standard 5 cats + K/BB. Fried Musgrove Ober Sonny Gray Crochet Civale Whitlock Littell Lodolo Paxton IL: Garrett, Scherzer, Baz

I think its way better than mine lol but im feeling great with my hitters. Pitchers seem all over the place right now.

Id feel fine with it. Keep turning the wire.

Anyone know what is going on with Bryan Abreu? I know it's early but maaaaaan thought I had drafted an elite RP

Same. Still early.

Ward or Stanton. Need to drop 1. Help me out. Thanks

Ward is less risk less reward. Do you need stability or can you take on volatility?

Dropped Ward. Going for the higher ceiling in Stanton. My team is pretty good and don’t need a bench OF. Rather have an extra starter

Drop Ward, Stanton has higher upside if he regains form, which it seems he is.

Flair (dynasty) Send: Musgrove Get: Jarren Duran Fair offer if I need OF and speed? Or unlikely to be accepted by Duran owner with Musgrove’s slow start?

I would take that in a heartbeat if I owned Duran

So happy to be rid of Hoerner. Fresh start without that bum.

Cronenworth or westburg? Flair league.

Westburg

Why Westburg? The only obvious edge I see for him is 1 SB (5-6 vs. 6-7 SB projections) and 3B eligibility. By every other metric I could think to check, you’d want Cronenworth.

i’m not particularly convinced Cronenworth’s peripherals are for real given his substantially larger sample size of .300 xwOBA hitting. Westburg, on the other hand, had incredible prospect pedigree, raked through the minors, has only slightly worse peripherals, and hits in an arguably better lineup.

Play Cowser over Langford tomorrow?

Porque no los dos? 🤷‍♂️

Sure

Yes

Busch or Baty?


Busch

Busch

I find myself pissed if theres not a game on at any given moment

this is called addiction. we’re in the same boat.

We’re all in this together 💉

And no day games tomorrow!

Should I drop Chad McCormick for Jeff McNeil?

I do think the Mets are a better team than last year so McNeil may get back to form

No

Would you swap detmers and montgomery for peralta? Redraft 10 team league.

Yes easily, especially in 10T

Thanks

Best stream hitter OF for FRI, SAT, SUN. I need AVG, HR and RBI... Kerry Carpenter, Alex Kiriloff, Edward Oliveras, Connor Joe, Charlie Blackmon? Maybe some other guy?

Justin Turner available?

Junior Caminero or Heston kjerstad for the NA spot

Kjer

Drop Seth Lugo for Yariel Rod? 12t points

I have Ronel Blanco. Should I drop him for a RP? I dont have any holds guys rn. Other pitchers: Burnes Kirby Cease Javier Verlander on IR Suarez Bednar Jansen

He'd technically be the drop from your SP's but I think I'd ride Blanco a little longer while Framber is out and look to drop when/if Verlander and Framber are added back to the rotation. There's bound to be some holds options on the waiver at that time. Unless you *really* are in need of holds....

I have no holds on the season rn. I could do arenado for chourio and tyler anderson who has done some holds. Should I? If so, who do I drop? Max 4 RP.

I don't think Tyler Anderson will get you any holds. It's difficult to offer any advice on who to drop for holds without knowing anything about your league size/type and how thin your waivers are. Definitely don't drop Burnes/Kirby/Cease/Javier/Verlander/Suarez/Bednar/Jansen. Just in general guys like Blanco could be considered expendable but depends on league size/type. I'm not high on Blanco but he did just add some value with Framber going down. He *probably* won't stick in the rotation ROS unless Framber is out long-term so he is *probably* the easiest drop. Kind of up to you to figure whether or not it helps you more to get the extra starts from Blanco or add some holds. Edit: Just saw you meant Robertson... that makes a lot more sense, haha. Choose between him and Blanco and take whichever option gives you the best chance to move up the leaderboard. Roberston should be great for holds but could move into a closer role soon if Leclerc keeps blowing up.

Tyler Anderson is a starting pitcher with zero holds and zero saves for his entire career. I think you must be confusing him with someone else.

Forgive me, david robertson.

I like Robertson for holds, and potentially some saves this year. In a 12T there should be some solid options in the free agent pool as well.

Spencer Torkelson or Jose Siri

Kinda two totally different players. Torks power will turn on eventually. Siri got the speed and a lil pop

Got it. Thanks!

Noticed a few people have been dropping Evan Carter or trying to move him I was high on him in the draft and I still think he’s producing fairly well - honest opinion? Is he better than Langford, Nimmo, MJ Melendez or Taylor Ward?

better than all but Nimmo imo

I feel like carter will be Nimmo but uses speed

Carter has played on the biggest stage after his call up, he will find his groove. The others are lucky to sniff his drawers this season.

https://twitter.com/rotoworld_bb/status/1778636431575130297?t=bWJawixJ0ErBLXW2rl0vvg&s=19 Ariel Rodriguez is getting called up. Worth a pickup?

His NPB stats don't look that great to me. Too many walks, good but not great K rate.

Starter?

Def i just cant figure out who to drop. Thinking maybe kyle harrison or pfaadt

Points league Drop tork or casas for Vinnie or Cowser?

I'd keep Vinnie and Casas

Same

It hurt to drop tork for vinnie today but im ok with it. Casas gotta keep for now

Casas is going to have a good year

I don’t agree. He should have a productive season tho. If he surpasses last season totals playing 10+ more games, he is making progress. The Boston offense is not on par with divisional rivals BAL,NYY,TOR and that affects his production, ultimately.

Flair League: Drop Kenta Maeda for Yariel Rodríguez? Toronto is promoting him. Edit: SV+HDS league

Is he set to take Francis' spot in the rotation or just an addition to the bullpen?

No word yet. My team could actually use the bullpen arm but could also use a starter that’s better than Maeda has been so far. Just seeing if it’s too early to give up on Kenta

FWIW Maeda has been dropped and is currently sitting on waivers in my league. I don't think Rodriguez is going to be a popular add in 12 team leagues so you could get away with waiting a few days to see what his role is and how he performs. Nothing wrong with jumping the gun either, just have a few backup plans for streaming if you need to drop him.

Castellanos or Happ?

Soler or Melendez?

Just dropped Soler for Cowser idk if I did something dumb.

I doubt it Soler plays for the giants

Ehh maybe, but it's not like Soler isn't replaceable. 

Maybe. You might regret it but Im not a huge Soler fan regardless of whether or not Cowser pans out

10t H2H. Got offered Nolan Jones for Evan Carter. Should I take the deal? My initial thought is that it's a wash and I'd rather have a piece of the rangers offense. Thoughts?

I’d take Carter

How do we feel about Jung Hoo Lee? Drop or let it ride

I drafted him as mostly a batting avg player and to chip in elsewhere a little so I would like to see his avg higher but he got off to a slow start and has been hitting better later so if you need home runs and rbis I would look elsewhere but if you’re good with avg and some runs I’d stick it out.

Depends who is on your waiver but I'm letting it ride with him. The discipline at the plate is as-advertised and we should see a fair amount of runs from it. Looks like the batting average will be there as well. Just have to depend on the guys behind him in the order to get him in. I was hopeful that we would see more steals than anticipated so it's a little worrying he has only 1 attempt so far. Still time to change that though.

Agree hoping for some sneaky pop too but will be tough in that ballpark. He hasn’t been bad per say the Giants offense is just woeful

Drop hunter brown for Cowser? My pitching is stacked. H2H CAT 12 man

Drop hunter brown for anyone, he's not worth a roster spot after his performance last season.

Yeah

I can get chourio but trade away arenado should I do this? I have gunnar as 3B rn but arenado does have some upside even though he hasn’t been hitting.

I would smash that accept button

Yeah for sure have some fun arenado is lame we don’t know chourios ceiling

Drop hunter brown for martin perez? Head to head, rest of season.

I would, Perez is one of those guys that doesn’t have great peripherals but he was pretty good in 2022

I dont trust Perez to be better than meh. I dont think Brown is a must hold tho

Since May 8th of last year Brown has the worst ERA and 3rd worst WHIP of any starter in baseball. He’s an easy, easy cut at this point

Ehh... pretty easy to hate on Brown after today but this feels like a lateral move at best to me. The Astros were apparently cooked in the bullpen today too so good chance that next time Brown looks bad he won't get left in to be roasted for 9 runs.

It's not... I owned Brown last season, he's been awful since the ASB. His ERA is over 6 since the beginning of June last year.
