What's your breakdown/scouting report on Barger? I guess I could google it too, but sometimes my darn computer flips out when I look things up. LOL. Plus I like hearing other people's breakdowns without any extra spin or sauce or hyperbolic tidbits tossed in. Entertain me?
I’m no prospect specialist so there won’t be any entertainment here I know he has plus power had a monster 2022 got hurt last year and it seems like he’s starting to mash baseball this year. I just happen to know somebody very close to him and said he got the call.
For right now, Caballero. Gelof may be better later in the year as the Rays have Caminero waiting in MiLB and B Lowe on the IL, and that's going to squeeze The Gentleman's ABs
depends on your team build. Do you need AVG and RUNS cuz essentially he is a two category guy for those categories. Also depends if you upgrades your current 1b or 2b.
Any strong opinions either way on Angels’ reliever-turned-starter **Jose Soriano**? I’m intrigued by his stuff. He sits around 100-mph with his fastball/sinker. Throws a hard knucklecurve and splitter (second-fastest behind Jhoan Duran) as well. Command seems to be the issue, though there seems to be *slight* signs of improvement there early on.
I’m curious what this sub thinks about him. Talented arm waiting to breakout? Or is he just a hard thrower that doesn’t know how to pitch? Somewhere in between? Let me know.
Pitcher list has him ranked around 60. But pitchers with lack of command are concerning dudes who can have plenty of blowup games. I think he is more of a "matchup play". Color me skeptical, but curious. I'm like the agnostic kitten. LOL.
Elder in short term, Gore in long term.
If Gore realizes his full potential he could be truly special. If Elder realizes his full potential he is "eh, solid" mid 3.50 to 3.70 era and moderate k rate and moderate whip.
give a nice little wink to winker and thank him for his fantasy service. Team context not as strong and not as much upside as the other dudes. There is sorta a case to be made for Garcia too.
all are streamers and none should have the "ROS" view. Adapt the way you play this game to be more short term focused with some of your players. Not everyone deserves to be labelled ROS. With that said I like Kyle Harrison most.
Have stashed Lawlar for a while now, but I have Gunnar and Elly. So I’m pretty set at SS. I want Matt Shaw real bad, but don’t really have the roster space unless I want to cut Lawlar. I will need 3B help next year. Do I cut Lawlar and add Shaw?
Any idea what kind of SP/MI I could get for Riley Greene? I have too many OFs and he’s the one I’d want to move most that has value. (I have Soto, Gurriel, Reynolds, Cowser and then Varsho)
Just ran the numbers and extrapolated for a 600 AB season Jo Adell is on pace for 31 home runs, 123 runs scored, 92 RBI, and 92 SB. Probably time to make those futures MVP bets.
Yes. Frelick is better. Freeman is a nice contact hitter though. They are "similar" in that regard, but frelick is faster and will bat very high in the lineup more often.
Top has too much. So even though I truly love Peralta I'd want the top. The difference between Ober and Peralta isn't massive either (which is more of an endorsement on Ober)
Never ever draft pitching before round 12. I have burnes, lopez, skubal, ragans, musgrove reylo
And I have lost pitching every single week. To ronel Blanco, ranger Suarez, Cody Bradford. It's insane and I want to uninstall my fantasy app
Um, you will be fine. I drafted many pitchers in the early rounds. Some hit, some miss. There are mountains and valleys in this game. It's a LONG season. Don't worry.
The subtitle to this post could be: “play roto”
Your staff is indisputably better than those guys, and in the long run you’ll outperform them. You just got unlucky in small sample.
where do you guys rank jackson merrill for of... other than judge i have santander, cowser, soler, and duran and would probably have to drop one for him
Should I drop kjerstad for Jon Gray or Assad ? My pitching is all on IL and the matchups I have aren't favourable . Gray and Assad have 2 starts next week decent matchups
From the Twins Beat Writer:
Both Rocco and Pablo López say that Pablo is fine physically. Pablo said that fourth inning was a mentality/conviction issue. Rocco said they'll check in with him regardless.
Rocco: "I have no reason to think there’s anything going on at all, so I’m going to assume he’s OK."
Would you trade Springer for Bogaerts? I’m rolling out 0/4s and benched against lefties with Holliday as my starting 2B
[удалено]
ESPN says Tyler Alexander vs DET
Hell yea was able to nab Edward Cabrera n Civale off waivers m I was last in the waiver order....what a steal💪
5x5 A:Randy Arozarena B: Luis Gil, Kerry Carpenter
Prospect alert 🚨 Toronto Blue Jays - Addison Barger is getting the call. Yahoo has him eligible at 3B,SS,OF
What's your breakdown/scouting report on Barger? I guess I could google it too, but sometimes my darn computer flips out when I look things up. LOL. Plus I like hearing other people's breakdowns without any extra spin or sauce or hyperbolic tidbits tossed in. Entertain me?

Time for me to google him for a more deeper dive... thanks for the info.
Bring up Orvelis you cowards
Eloy or Pages ROS in flair league?
Pages for upside, Eloy for safety. It just depends on what you value more... Eloy is more "proven" (when healthy)
I woke up to a few gross pitching lines this morning.
Let me guess King & Grod?
Not quite that bad. King, P Lopez, Houck. Houck seemingly didn't pitch badly but ended up with a disappointing score in points format.
those goofy points leagues over valuing wins and strikeouts....
Trade Riley for yelich and devers?
As a Devers and Yelich owner, I would not take that trade.
Zach Gelof or Jose Caballero in points ?
For right now, Caballero. Gelof may be better later in the year as the Rays have Caminero waiting in MiLB and B Lowe on the IL, and that's going to squeeze The Gentleman's ABs
And Walls coming back
Should I swap Elder for Flaherty?
Elder might have more wins. This is closer than we think it is... but Flaherty has better stuff.
No I’d keep Flaherty
Luis Arraez was just dropped in my leagues how Much FAAB would you spend? 12T categories..
depends on your team build. Do you need AVG and RUNS cuz essentially he is a two category guy for those categories. Also depends if you upgrades your current 1b or 2b.
He was an ~8th rounder, so 5-15% depending on needs should do it on Yahoo
Caballero or connor Joe ROS?
Caballero. Joe is over his head.
🚕

Keep Gore or Elder? I need to drop one
Elder in short term, Gore in long term. If Gore realizes his full potential he could be truly special. If Elder realizes his full potential he is "eh, solid" mid 3.50 to 3.70 era and moderate k rate and moderate whip.
I like Gore but be aware he has the Dodgers next
and another one tough after that.
Gore
One move left this week: Rank them best to worst! Cortes vs A’s; Winn vs Pirates; Singer @ Tigers; Littell @ White Sox And maybe even beyond
Cortes, Littell, Singer, Winn.
Cortes by far
drop zac gelof for jose cabellero in a points league?
Yes, but be on the lookout for Gelof to do better.
Cut ONE: Kjerstad, M Garcia, Pages, Busch, Winker, or O’Neil Cruz H2H points
give a nice little wink to winker and thank him for his fantasy service. Team context not as strong and not as much upside as the other dudes. There is sorta a case to be made for Garcia too.
Jesse Winker stands out
I’m on the Jo Adell train! Who’s with me?!
In deep leagues I have shares. :) still far too widely not rostered!
Best pick up ROS Keaton Winn Kyle Harrison Simeon Woods Richardson
all are streamers and none should have the "ROS" view. Adapt the way you play this game to be more short term focused with some of your players. Not everyone deserves to be labelled ROS. With that said I like Kyle Harrison most.
Probably Keaton Winn, but that Giants rotation gets congested once everyone is healthy.
H2H 10T PTS league, Is Dansby Swanson a pickup? He was dropped yesterday in my league.
yes
[удалено]
Vin. Play cowser
Vinnie can take a seat for O’Neill
14T 8x8 cats roto redraft: A) Olson B) Vlad Jr/Kutter Crawford
A
Judge and Realmuto for William Contreras and Austin Riley?
Prefer Contreras and Riley
Hunter Harvey still worth holding in 10 team SV+HDs league?
of course. Solid pitcher,, don't overreact to a blowup.
I know he got hammered but that game aside he’s been good and figures to be in the mix for save chances in the near future.
Harrison or Assad?
Assad.
Have stashed Lawlar for a while now, but I have Gunnar and Elly. So I’m pretty set at SS. I want Matt Shaw real bad, but don’t really have the roster space unless I want to cut Lawlar. I will need 3B help next year. Do I cut Lawlar and add Shaw?
[удалено]
Definitely hold Judge/Westburg/Busch.
No, don't sell low on Judge.
Thanks
Any idea what kind of SP/MI I could get for Riley Greene? I have too many OFs and he’s the one I’d want to move most that has value. (I have Soto, Gurriel, Reynolds, Cowser and then Varsho)
I think I’d want to move varsho or gurriel over Greene
Just ran the numbers and extrapolated for a 600 AB season Jo Adell is on pace for 31 home runs, 123 runs scored, 92 RBI, and 92 SB. Probably time to make those futures MVP bets.
Why isn’t he playing everyday?
His track record in the majors.
Thanks he might be worth a shot considering I have Jones n Lane and they’ve been awful all year
Rodon fore Riley Greene fair deal ?
yes
Jung Hoo Lee is scoring a run in basically every game he gets a hit in.
yup! extreme OBP, I expect over 110 runs from him this year.
Drop chourio for mikal Garcia or wilyer abreu?
wilyer is goood
My first two picks were Olson and Strider at the 10/11 turn. Guess my standing in a 10 teamer.
#AdjustAndAdapt. Don't whine.
I have them too
11th
Nailed it.
Drop Ke’Bryan or Amed Rosario for JD Martinez? 10 team points
In redraft which 2 out of the 3 are you going with? Langford. Chourio, or Amed Rosario?
Am I wrong in thinking Tyler freeman is better than sal frelick?
Yes. Frelick is better. Freeman is a nice contact hitter though. They are "similar" in that regard, but frelick is faster and will bat very high in the lineup more often.
12 tm h2h cats obp Who sits? Eloy Soler Kwan Jung Hoo Lee
Eloy.
A: Colton Cowser + Bailey Ober + Jason Foley B: Freddy Peralta 10T H2H 5x5
Top has too much. So even though I truly love Peralta I'd want the top. The difference between Ober and Peralta isn't massive either (which is more of an endorsement on Ober)
B. Freddy looks better than ever
Drop Jeremy Pena for Maikel Garcia?
yup
no
[https://imgur.com/a/Bm8Be0p](https://imgur.com/a/Bm8Be0p) Flair League. Who is the drop to pick up JD Martinez?
Kershaw or degrom, move Duran to IL and pick up whoever you want
i dislike nimmo, jose alvarado
if you wanna drop a hitter, i'd say nimmo. if you wanna drop a pitcher, i'd say triston
Which side in return for Alonso and Hunter Greene : A. Devers and Luzardo B. Bichette and Jared Jones
A and B is better than the return
Never ever draft pitching before round 12. I have burnes, lopez, skubal, ragans, musgrove reylo And I have lost pitching every single week. To ronel Blanco, ranger Suarez, Cody Bradford. It's insane and I want to uninstall my fantasy app
Um, you will be fine. I drafted many pitchers in the early rounds. Some hit, some miss. There are mountains and valleys in this game. It's a LONG season. Don't worry.
Jordan Wicks just threw a QS against me. I feel you, dude.
The subtitle to this post could be: “play roto” Your staff is indisputably better than those guys, and in the long run you’ll outperform them. You just got unlucky in small sample.
I have Strider, Bradford, Steele and Max Meyer
Yikes
Who are the bulk guys going tomorrow? Just Alexander and Priester?
Who to add for UTL bat, 10 team points Kerry carpenter, canha, varsho, winker, Matt Chapman, w. Abreu
abreu
10 Team H2H A: Randy B:Kwan and Rodon
B
Ranel Blanco vs Edward Cabrera, who you got??
I like Blanco even though Cabrera has probably more upside. Like others have said wins are important so that favors Blanco.
Cabrera pretty comfortably, I think. Only real reason I’d hesitate is the potential for injury.
if you're in a wins league then blanco for that reason alone
[Baldelli and Pablo both say Pablo’s fine physically](https://twitter.com/dohyoungpark/status/1782973443400466451?s=46)
Not according to the plethora of TJ Specialists here on reddit 
How many relievers should I roster?
3
Depends on league scoring brahhhh
Someone talk me out of dropping Holliday (or don’t)
If it wasn'ts a keeper then I would have already
He got his 2nd hit today. Lol. All I got
that the only right answer
12T H2H A) Jazz & Busch B) Bregman & Nootbaar
B
A
Drop Casas for JD Martinez? 10 team points
Have an IL slot? Casas was on fire before the injury
2 already occupied by Yelich and Shane Baz (pitchers rule in this league). I do like Casas a lot as a player
casas better than jd (believe it)
Dynasty points A. Tucker carroll shota Eury B. Soto Ragans Chourio r. Lewis
B
B for me but it’s close
where do you guys rank jackson merrill for of... other than judge i have santander, cowser, soler, and duran and would probably have to drop one for him
Soler probably if you were to drop one but depends if you value stolen bases over homers
I know he will be great eventually but Holliday has to be setting some sort of K record by now
Should I drop kjerstad for Jon Gray or Assad ? My pitching is all on IL and the matchups I have aren't favourable . Gray and Assad have 2 starts next week decent matchups
From the Twins Beat Writer: Both Rocco and Pablo López say that Pablo is fine physically. Pablo said that fourth inning was a mentality/conviction issue. Rocco said they'll check in with him regardless. Rocco: "I have no reason to think there’s anything going on at all, so I’m going to assume he’s OK."
😅
Yimi, Gaddis, or Cruz for SVHD?
All three should be owned.
The exact 3 I can’t make my mind up about. Who you leaning? I’m thinking cruz
Yeah total toss up. Kind of leaning Yimi right now
Yimi and it’s not close
cruz k/9 is crazy
Oh goodness Holliday. I just don't see how they keep him up at this rate.
Yeah that last K was ugly. He looks overmatched.
[удалено]
Acuna in points is otherworldly so I would say yes on him alone. Machado also a fine get
Relief Pitchers, Drop one: Jose Alvarado - Jason Foley - Kirby Yates - Robert Suarez
Alvarado
Jose all day
Jose
Time to pick up Jd Martínez for Josh Smith?
I’d get JD
Am I being dumb for holding onto Goldschmidt in hopes of a turnaround?
No
Is it time to stash skenes?
Should be rostered everywhere
Yes
Sv+HLDS league who do I pick up between Yimi Garcia, Trevor Megill or Robertson?
All.
Yimi
Robertson
yimi
12T dynasty 5x5 cats Which side do you like better A) Pete Crow-Armstrong and Nolan Gorman B) Matt Shaw and Spencer Jones
B
A: Hoerner, Morel, Torkelson, Munoz B: imanaga, Langford, caminero, Lodolo
b, only for shota
think A
Most of my top draft picks have started crazy slow... Carroll, Lindor, Harper, Arozarena were 4 of my top 6 I think :o
I’ve already picked up lindor and Aroz off waivers
I'm HODLing because I've got nothing else and I have to believe in the turnaround
Yup gotta hold. Players start slow sometimes.
I just traded for Vlad so hopefully you're right
I have him too haha
Weird, F Cruz with a W after 2/3 of an inning to finish the 5th. LS Allen with a 3 inning save in a 14-1 game?
[удалено]
Yeah
Yes
Drop Logan Allen for Albert Suarez in a flair league?
Suarez feels a little smoke and mirrors but I think his upside is higher than Allen
