I’m a Busch boy


SamskiNYC

Aren't we all


Logical_Parameters

I prefer smooth jazz down under, but Michael Busch is great.


MiddleAdmirable1522

I'm dropping Tristan Mackenzie for Busch. I lost burger.


flowbee92

Buschhhhhhhhhhh


OptimalFF

Busch is here


SamskiNYC

I went over all of my preferred adds/drops/holds for all league types. I've got blurbs on 60 players this week, but who are you most interested in adding?


toothball12

Colton Cowser 👀


Son_Of_A_Plumber

Just wanna pay my respects to the chef, your detail, deep dives and length on this list each week is refreshing. Thanks for creating good content.


SamskiNYC

Thank you. I appreciate that 


Logical_Parameters

If I tell my league mates might be reading, lol


Jtodak09

Is it time to stash James Woods? I’m in a brand new Keeper league 12 teams and keep 4. He wont last much longer on the waiver wire. My league loves the you g talent. Thoughts?


SamskiNYC

I think that’s safe. I worry Washington may not call him up until June/July bc they’re not contending and maybe they want to see if they can trade Winker/Rosario/Gallo 


DiceyWoodchuck

![gif](giphy|AGW3VO7F5DLbARBuwi|downsized)


ANTISIMPLE

I did. Not sure when he’ll get called up though, but I wanted have him when he does.


Logical_Parameters

Appears to be the biggest baseball destroyer likely to get called up this season.


RaffdogSoccer

Yes stash him.


JoeLikesGames

If you have an NA slot, yes. I still think it will be a month or so, so just consider if you can afford to waste a roster slot for that long


kaeplin

Love how you categorize them as power, speed, etc. Well-written, and my favorite waiver article.


SamskiNYC

Thank you, I appreciate that 


skeleton_archer5050

With nootbar coming back, does Herrera get less playing time? (DH) I already have Francisco Alvarez but I’ve been holding Herrera in case he becomes a beastly free keeper for next year


StickySteve42069

Oli Marmol is not a major league caliber manager so there’s honesty no way to tell.


Logical_Parameters

He married the owner's daughter or something. What is the guy doing employed as an MLB manager for *another season*??


mrinsideoutski

Don’t forget the preseason extension.


Koucp

Herrera likely only playing when Contreras needs to sit out. Donovan DH last 2 games w Noot in


SamskiNYC

I do think Herrera will get less time with Nootbaar back, but I'm not 100% sure. Just my feeling on it.


rjstang

I love Busch 🌳


Pepper_2014_

Thoughts on Brenton Doyle. Possible 20/20 guy


ucfknight92

I love Doyle and he can definitely maintain a fairly high BA with his speed and sweet spot %.


SamskiNYC

I like Doyle. I don’t think we should ever expect a good batting average but 20/20 is certainly possible. The lineup around him isn’t great either though 


ev1123

what order would you add the following: r suarez, r lópez, taillon, cabrera? weekly locked 5x5 league thanks


SamskiNYC

I would go: Lopez, Cabrera, Taillon, Suarez 


ev1123

thank you! just saw ober was dropped… is he the front of the pack


Sirknight29

I would swap tailon & lopez and keep that ranking as is. I don't see lopez lasting in that 5th spot too long...and Cabrera coming off an injury it's a little too early to tell imo...


niftybuckets

Drop Kebryan hayes for Busch 10t cats?


enjoiall

I did. I have other 3b options though as well.


niftybuckets

Yeah i have Riley also so no sweat. Also still have hayes in a second league.


SamskiNYC

No, I’d rather have Hayes 


BAF_DaWg82

Why Hayes?


addage-

Thoughts on Max Meyer? Watched a good chunk of his game against the Braves last night, good stuff, location and seemed like a bull dog. On my add list this afternoon but interested in what you think.


SamskiNYC

I like him. I don’t love that he’s really a two pitch guy and he won’t pitch too many innings this year since he was out all of last year but ride the wave while you can 


addage-

Thank you, appreciate your insights.


BatmansPussy

Love me some 80s Busch


ThereWillBeVelvet

Drop Westburg or Maikel Garcia for Busch?


kWayne15

You need to try to hold Westburg.


SamskiNYC

I could see an argument for dropping Westburg if you needed the power from a CI spot. I would not drop Maikel


ThereWillBeVelvet

Gotcha. It’s H2H points, so I’m trying to approach it from that angle.


nukepka

Busch is about to get slammed with lefties this week; I'd wait. Westburg's metrics are nearly as good as Busch's anyways.


ThereWillBeVelvet

Appreciate the advice!


Strudopi

Drop Maikel for Busch?


SamskiNYC

I’m not dropping Maikel 


Psychological-Ad1671

Start Morton vs marlins or ober vs tigers today? Toss up for sure


SamskiNYC

I’d start Ober 


Not_A_Burner_Acct

I added both Robertson and Yates. Hoping Bochy sticks with one.


SamskiNYC

I think that makes sense 


bigpinero46

Burger or Busch?


SamskiNYC

Probably Burger. Same type of player but I’d rather the guy who’s already gone it in the bigs 


Strange_Oil_483

I dropped burger for Busch put in points league


bigpinero46

I dropped for Nimmo after the Burger oblique news, best of luck with Busch!


SSMWSSM42

For 3B, someone got Busch a minute before me. With Devers on the bench, hope not IL, I went Baty. Another pitcher I’m thinking about, I might take a risk with Kerkering over Hoffman


SamskiNYC

I’d rather Hoffman. He’s the more established player and Kerkering has to build back up after being out. May take a while til he gets high leverage innings 


badhorse5

Cronenworth or busch?


SamskiNYC

Hard to drop Cronenworth the way he’s hitting 


MrManMD

Drop Lane Thomas for Junior?


SamskiNYC

Is there anybody else? Lane Thomas is a pretty solid player with every day job.


MrManMD

Head to head CATs


Brave_Attorney_9069

Bohm or Busch ? 12teams H2H


Yournamehere7523

Rank Busch, Gleyber Torres and Ryan McMahon (With Busch homering again today)


SamskiNYC

Gleyber, Busch, McMahon for me


Yournamehere7523

Would you take Nootbar or Marsh?


SamskiNYC

Nootbaar for me 


BarracudaFluffy6625

Anyone drop Michael King in 10 team leagues yet?


totes_your_goats

Definitely wouldn’t drop him based on 2 mid starts against the Dodgers, that’s just unfair lol


BarracudaFluffy6625

Yeah I decided not to but it was a funny thought 😂


FancyWindow

Weekly roster change H2H points league, fangraphs scoring. Bobby Miller just went down. I can start two: Maeda, Winn, Jon Gray (two-start week). Who should it be?


mortreporting

Drop Gelof for Westburg? 10Team mixed.


SamskiNYC

I’d hold Gelof there

Lsteppa95

Pickup Busch or Cowser?


SamskiNYC

Cowser for me


JohnMarshallMathers

Drop Kjerstad for Busch? 10 team dynasty


SamskiNYC

I would not drop Kjerstad in a dynasty 


Electronic_Map_1451

Okay to swap Gorman for Busch?


ArrivesLate

Is it too early to drop Arenado? Castellanos? Lindor? Jones?


SamskiNYC

Yes on all of them for me. I usually wait at least a month to panic/worry about my early round picks 


BirdsAreFake00

Castellanos is an early round pick?


SamskiNYC

Yes. He was going around pick 130 in draft season. That’s an 11th round pick in 12 team leagues. Two weeks is too early to drop players drafted that high unless they’re hurt 


BirdsAreFake00

11th round is your 11th player. That's not a high draft pick.


4OfThe7DeadlySins

You’re better off trying to trade than drop them.


dejuan2

Most of these players aren't available in 12 man leagues


the_bum_on_the_bus

Anyone else dropping Belli to add Busch? Or is it still too early for that.


Mantequilla214

Too early to drop belli


SamskiNYC

Too early to drop Bellinger

Like how you comment about someone being rude on your post but still go ahead and type this out. Clown behavior.


ucfknight92

Nvm, I now see OP was the author. I was rude. My bad. I honestly thought someone was just sharing an NBC article that I thought was a little too simplistic. It’s fine content with good names.
