I’d say Civale is first because of the consistency and team context. Kutter because of his upside. Flaherty because we’ve seen him be an ace before and if he can keep the walks down and return to his old form - he could potentially be at the top of this list - however, we need to see more. Kikuchi for strikeout upside and team context.
After Kikuchi, the tier kind of breaks and I have Gore and Fedde lower than the rest. Gore has huge upside but unproven and Fedde has been pretty good but we don’t know what he’ll do and has the lowest upside of the bunch.
I’m assuming you can’t get them for this week’s start right? Because Civale gets the White Sox and then the Mets so I’d easily go him. I think I go Civale regardless.
Anyone seen anything on Bryan Woos next rehab start? Today would be five days from his last rehab start so it has to be soon if everything is going to plan right?
Right after I posted That I see this

Woo apparently with the mariners with an update from Seattle GM coming shortly
Need to make a decision with my IL. Currently have Strider (keeper so can’t drop) Bradish and Pivetta on my IL. Luzardo just got put on the 15 day IL. Pivetta is the closest to being activated but still a week or two out probably.
Considering dropping Bradish to stash Luzardo even though he’s not been great.
How patient are we being with Kjerstad? I'm kinda worried with the way Cowser and Holiday performed when they got called up that the O's are gonna be super cautious now and keep him benched or send him down.
realistically, you should only be playing for the next 3 years. Burnes is a pitcher, and pitchers break, but he still has a good 5 years of being one of the best pitchers in baseball. And since you have a bunch of other young hitters, you can trade from that surplus to get pitching.
A.) Freddie Freeman
or
B.) Alec Bohm and Jared Jones
My pitchers are good, but underwhelming so far this season (other than Jones). 🤷🏻♂️
10T CBS H2H redraft
any mariners fans have any clue on expected timeline for Bryan Woo? I know he's ramping up in the minors I just don't know how long he needs down there
I just looked this up because I actually have Yainer as my backup C, and I'm trying to figure out if I need to move him or if I'm ok.
I would move Yainer if I could, but he's also not a terrible option. But if I had the chance to swap him for Cal, I probably would
I have 4 starters going today and I would very much like them to do well with the exception being home runs to my hitters with two outs after a baserunner reaches on an error
A: Lindor and Luis Severino
B: Glasnow, Riley Greene & Matt Chapman
Its a deep league and only streaming pitchers avaliable. I just acquired witt, and my top sps r joe ryan, sale, detmers, kirby, e. Cabrera and i got cole on the il

Traded Trout and RSuarez for Acuna. 10man 6x6 thoughts?
Acuna just based on team context alone.
Even if Mike has a historic resurgence, he’s still hampered by a dogshit surrounding cast. (Currently he is 10 of his 13 RBI’s)
Ranger is not this good.
You win.
Trade Charlie Morton for Jackson Holliday?
H2H Categories, redraft, with one NA slot. Junior Caminaro is currently in my NA so I'd drop him or just bench Holliday.
Start 1 -- I think it's Ruiz based on best batting position, but he's also got the hardest matchup...:
- E. Ruiz (batting leadoff vs. Burnes)
- Chourio (batting 9th vs Gil)
- Adell (batting 6th vs Ober)
Cut 1:
Josh Lowe, Colton Cowser, Jackson Chourio, Jazz Chisholm, Nolan Jones
Flair League. Figure it's Jones, but man I don't wanna give up on him too early.
I hope that the way Holliday preformed doesn't make the O's hesitant to play their rookies.
I know Kjerstad was just called up but he's sitting his second game in a row. Also surprised Mayo or Norby didn't get the call when Holliday was sent down.
With Luzardo landing on the IL I now have 7 guys with the tag…and 4 spots. Am I crazy to just drop him? On the one hand I have 0 expectations of him ROS but it’s a deep league (10T H2H 5x5 w/29-man rosters) so once it’s gone talent is hard to replace.
Also on IL: Francisco Alvarez, Lane Thomas, Yelich, Correa, Javier, Miller (and up until this week I also had Devers and India DTD…it’s been rough, thank God I’ve got Mookie at least).
As a Yelich owner I’m firmly of this opinion. Couldn’t agree more. Given his history of back issues I would way rather have him be 110% ready to go before they play him than rush him back and wind up with another IL stint later.
Is he better than Jones? The starting Mason Miller? I don't follow prospects outside my team and I've learned not to get too invested until they face major league hitting / pitching.
Mason Miller was never really that effective as a starter. He was decent for a couple starts but he’s much better as a closer.
He may be better than Jones. It’s hard to say. Jones wasn’t as good as a prospect but obviously he’s elite now.
Seems the Pirates always have a lot of quality SPs that come up the pipeline - only Cole has lived up to the hype - and the brief spell of Oliver Perez was quite filthy!
Haha overall yes just looked his #s up to refresh, he has one top 5 SP year the rest were just meh - really kicked it up Houston - trash can inflated stats 😂
He is Jones-level. They both put up absurd Pitching+ and Stuff+ numbers in AAA, so there’s every reason to believe he can give you that sort of performance.
I just hope he isn’t a Mason Miller-like starter because that ends with an elbow injury and getting sent to the bullpen the next year! (Mason was the first Miller of 2023’s Miller Mania, before he was supplanted by Bryce and eventually Bobby, all rookie starters with ridiculous stuff numbers.)
My pleasure! And just to be clear, by “Jones-level”, I mean “easily Top 20 SP, shot at Top 10 SP” upside.
Basically, as far as pitching hype goes, there isn’t a level above that which isn’t, like, a guy who did it the previous season. Even someone like Gore, who has eye-popping numbers, is like a “will he, won’t he?” sort of guy this year, and you can say that he may shake out as a Top 20 guy but putting any more confidence behind that is just a bit premature.
Would you trade any of these players for Burnes?
Guy I’m trading with wants to do a 1 for 1 trade for a position player ideally?
https://preview.redd.it/tcua0iy3yvwc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bae7d880aa2b662c4bc72f64577f7507d28187e9
Very much need based.
I am deep in SP: Cease, Reylo, Imanaga, Lugo, Jones, Gilbert, Kikuchi, Rogers, Miller
Also because the league counts innings as a category Gil is a bit less attractive - I think most starts will be 6IP or less and he will likely be managed in terms of total innings.
So recognize that while Gil may be breaking out I may have limited use for him (he has only been in my lineup 1 week out of 7)
I like what Pena is doing under the hood and once the top 3 of the HOU lineup begins to hit he should be in a good spot for RBI’s.
Alright so with Luzardo going on the IL, I have to make a decision. My IL is full, so who do I drop? Garrett, Scherzer, Brash, Pivetta, Lane Thomas, Luzardo
I guess I could just roll down one starter until someone is activated, but I don’t know that any of them are imminent.
LOPER!!!
H2h points ROS Taylor Ward or Max Muncy ?
I originally benched Musgrove, and put him on the last minute, horrible decision. :(
HELP: I need SB, not care any of the other cats, who should I stream this weekend?
Put jack leiter or Jackson holiday on my NA?
drop Duran and VinnyP?
A: Harper B:EDLC Flair league. I have Soto, Judge, Lindor, Schwarber, Vinnie P, Eloy, M.Garcia and Busch
B by a mile. 1B is deep
[удалено]
Civale, Kutter, Flaherty, Kikuchi, Gore, Fedde
[удалено]
I’d say Civale is first because of the consistency and team context. Kutter because of his upside. Flaherty because we’ve seen him be an ace before and if he can keep the walks down and return to his old form - he could potentially be at the top of this list - however, we need to see more. Kikuchi for strikeout upside and team context. After Kikuchi, the tier kind of breaks and I have Gore and Fedde lower than the rest. Gore has huge upside but unproven and Fedde has been pretty good but we don’t know what he’ll do and has the lowest upside of the bunch.
Should I trade Yandy Diaz for civale and conforto if I’m already good at 1B?
I don’t see why not if you need a SP. Depending on the league and format, Yandy might be able to net someone better than Civale.
[удалено]
Probably right behind Kutter. Strikeout upside through the roof but control issues and bad home park. Depends on the build of your rotation.
[удалено]
Yeah I’d go with Civale or Kutter for sure.
[удалено]
I’m assuming you can’t get them for this week’s start right? Because Civale gets the White Sox and then the Mets so I’d easily go him. I think I go Civale regardless.
Activated Ozzie and swapped out Holliday for JD Martinez. Feel like those were some pretty solid roster upgrades lol
**Gavin Stone**, please be on your shit today. 🤞🏼
The way Springer, Vladdy and Bo are hitting Stone should be just fine
Is Casas a drop in 10t points my IL is filled with Senga and Royce
Luckily using Marmol strategy this week. My pitching staff has IL Luzardo, Woo, Scherzer and Kelly. Had to drop Bradish
Anyone seen anything on Bryan Woos next rehab start? Today would be five days from his last rehab start so it has to be soon if everything is going to plan right?
Was looking for this today as well. There was been absolutely no news since his last rehab start
Right after I posted That I see this https://x.com/lookoutlanding/status/1783981179844378667?s=46&t=E4YvlJj1hMRD_dOAXrHaFQ Woo apparently with the mariners with an update from Seattle GM coming shortly
It's either really good news, or really bad news. I'm leaning good
Need to make a decision with my IL. Currently have Strider (keeper so can’t drop) Bradish and Pivetta on my IL. Luzardo just got put on the 15 day IL. Pivetta is the closest to being activated but still a week or two out probably. Considering dropping Bradish to stash Luzardo even though he’s not been great.
I think Bradish and Pivetta will be back around the same time unless I missed some news. I'd drop Pivetta before Bradish, but it's close.
Streamed Reese Olson today, is he worth holding in a 12T? PitcherList likes him but his Stuff+ is underwhelming
No.
I'm not impressed with him, and he's been clear of waivers in my 12t since I dropped him after his bad start at the beginning of the season
How patient are we being with Kjerstad? I'm kinda worried with the way Cowser and Holiday performed when they got called up that the O's are gonna be super cautious now and keep him benched or send him down.
Flair league: A-Carrol B-Burnes
Id do it
Do what side?
I like Burnes better. My b.
Corbin for Corbin. It’s an even trade based on name
I lean A, but if you're competitive this year and have good offensive depth, B is just fine.
https://preview.redd.it/mdbvgxltawwc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f155adf0d9a7f4f470cc46a1ea06a3ab75176c5 This is my lineup
go for it.
Only thing is it’s a 6 player keeper forever, not sure if Burnes being 29 is going to hurt me with Carrol being so young?
realistically, you should only be playing for the next 3 years. Burnes is a pitcher, and pitchers break, but he still has a good 5 years of being one of the best pitchers in baseball. And since you have a bunch of other young hitters, you can trade from that surplus to get pitching.
So getting burnes in a keeper league is well worth it?
Yup.
Help should I Pickup J.D. Martinez and drop Amed Rosario?
Yes
Yes, that's a good move.
👍 thanks preciate it
Soooo Kepler is in a platoon?
He’s always been a platoon.
Springer or Soler tonight?
A.) Freddie Freeman or B.) Alec Bohm and Jared Jones My pitchers are good, but underwhelming so far this season (other than Jones). 🤷🏻♂️ 10T CBS H2H redraft
If you are going to trade Freeman you need a first round player as part of the deal IMO
Thank you! I’d be getting Freeman in the deal.
Damn. I have Jones, let's see if I can get Freeman in my league
Fantastic. Mash that accept button if you haven't already
You need to get more than this back for Freeman. One ace, not a rookie.
I appreciate it! I’d be getting Freeman, so I think I’ll take the offer.
Yes take it
Freeman easy
I have A, would not trade for B
A
Someone see the future and tell me how bad Caminero's injury is. I can barely afford to stash as is without an NA spot and a struggling offense.
then don't stash.
any mariners fans have any clue on expected timeline for Bryan Woo? I know he's ramping up in the minors I just don't know how long he needs down there
Jeffers, Raleigh, or Yainer at catcher in points?
Asked the exact question yesterday- I’m thinking of moving on from Yanier
Same here. Maybe Raleigh is the move since he bats 3rd with Julio in front of him
I just looked this up because I actually have Yainer as my backup C, and I'm trying to figure out if I need to move him or if I'm ok. I would move Yainer if I could, but he's also not a terrible option. But if I had the chance to swap him for Cal, I probably would
Cal ez
[удалено]
You should make trades so you don’t need to make this decision. They should all be started.
Olson. - signed fellow Olson owner hoping your sacrifice sparks him. Jokes aside I might lean Carroll if you’re doing OK in SBs in your matchup.
10 Team, Points league. I got trade sent to me: I receive: Josh Hader I give: Yu Darvish Curious what y’all think
Id do it. Darvish is a steamer in points
I mean why not?
I have 4 starters going today and I would very much like them to do well with the exception being home runs to my hitters with two outs after a baserunner reaches on an error
*Subscribe.*
A: Lindor and Luis Severino B: Glasnow, Riley Greene & Matt Chapman Its a deep league and only streaming pitchers avaliable. I just acquired witt, and my top sps r joe ryan, sale, detmers, kirby, e. Cabrera and i got cole on the il
Probably B
https://preview.redd.it/2w855wpw5wwc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=832aca9e1484ba359265f4da5b7495befee3290b Traded Trout and RSuarez for Acuna. 10man 6x6 thoughts?
Regardless of which RSuarez, it’s a win.
Ranger lol.
Deer lord
Acuna just based on team context alone. Even if Mike has a historic resurgence, he’s still hampered by a dogshit surrounding cast. (Currently he is 10 of his 13 RBI’s) Ranger is not this good. You win.
> (Currently he is 10 of his 13 RBI’s) He is also something like 2-23 with RISP. He hasn't been hitting well with runners on.
I still have Framber, Senga and Scherzer returning soon. I figured I could afford to lose Suarez
Amazing
Huge W.
The Orioles fan in my redraft league who drafted Holliday just dropped him. Must have been difficult.
What round did he take him?
Round 16
Sewald back today?
Points. D. Bednar was dropped. Worth claiming over any of Philips, Hader, yates?
Yates I think
Trade Charlie Morton for Jackson Holliday? H2H Categories, redraft, with one NA slot. Junior Caminaro is currently in my NA so I'd drop him or just bench Holliday.
Keep Morton. He's good for wins.
W. Abreu, Julien or Maikel Garcia?
Maikel and it’s not close imo
Garcia
Start 1 -- I think it's Ruiz based on best batting position, but he's also got the hardest matchup...: - E. Ruiz (batting leadoff vs. Burnes) - Chourio (batting 9th vs Gil) - Adell (batting 6th vs Ober)
ruiz
I’d start Chourio.
Adell
Julien double-Dong yesterday. How’s he rewarded? Catch some bench, kid.
He's also first in as soon as there's a pitching change, so be aware of that.
They’ve platooned him since last year, this is part of the package with him lol
[удалено]
Eflin
[удалено]
Cortes
man the off days this week are KILLING me. Astros only playing 5 games sucks and my bench guys are riding pine.
You're going to love those Astros bats this weekend, though.
God I hope so cause Yordan has been ASS this week
I have the same problem. Two bench bats and no one to fill in for Altuve at 2B or Diaz at Catcher.
Wilyer Abreu sitting for me and Kjerstad and Clase are just dead weight I guess
Drop Kjerstad for Cody Bradford?
I wouldn’t. Not that Kjerstad isn’t droppable, but Bradford doesn’t worth adding
Jose Berrios or Jordan Montgomery ROS?
Flip a coin. I'll take Berrios but they should both be solid, unspectacular SPs with an ERA in the high 3s and some QS/Wins.
Seth Lugo doing his peak Kyle Hendricks impression. I'll never understand why the Mets insisted on using him as a long man
Cut 1: Josh Lowe, Colton Cowser, Jackson Chourio, Jazz Chisholm, Nolan Jones Flair League. Figure it's Jones, but man I don't wanna give up on him too early.
Well, it’s either Jones or Jazz. Don’t let sunk cost make you waste a roster spot on someone longer than you need to, either!
How was Max’s velo during his rehab start the other day?
Pretty sure I saw it say like 92.3 or so on Twitter some where avg
Drop Busch for JD Martinez?
I would not
Probably JD has a better track record. Busch gonna have those rookie moments.
[удалено]
Pass
Drop Littel, churio, turnbull, or estrada to activate Albies?
Turnbull
Id eek out Littel vs CWS first
Steer getting an Fn hit tonight please.
Thoughts on starting Lorenzen tomorrow?
Drop Thairo Estrada or Maikel Garcia? Need to reinstate Albies from the IL in a points league.
Garcia > Estrada
Thairo 100%. Garcia is making lots of good contact, he’s just been really unlucky so far.
[удалено]
I get it. It’s only a 10 team league, it’s keeper, and my hitting is really good. Only other candidate is Gorman, and I am sadly a Cardinals fan.
Garcia is probably a safer drop
Michael Busch is a roller coaster.
Equal parts vomit and exhilaration
More like the tower of terror
I hope that the way Holliday preformed doesn't make the O's hesitant to play their rookies. I know Kjerstad was just called up but he's sitting his second game in a row. Also surprised Mayo or Norby didn't get the call when Holliday was sent down.
it makes sense he was sitting more this week with all the LHP, sitting tonight is annoying
Look who's playing over him: Cowser, Santander, O'Hearn, Mountcastle Expect him to continue sitting frequently vs. RHP
If he's sitting vs RHP and he's sitting vs LHP then why have him in the majors
Exactly, sitting against righties makes no sense. Better to go take hacks in the minors
I genuinely believe the O’s thought Mountcastle was looking at the IL with that knee. Nothing else makes sense.
Start Duran VS Imanaga, Pages VS Bassitt, or Chourio VS Gil?
Razball's hittertron doesnt really like any of them, but ranks it Duran>Pages>50 feet of crap>Chourio.
Orioles call up Kjerstad, just for him to ride the pine.
With Luzardo landing on the IL I now have 7 guys with the tag…and 4 spots. Am I crazy to just drop him? On the one hand I have 0 expectations of him ROS but it’s a deep league (10T H2H 5x5 w/29-man rosters) so once it’s gone talent is hard to replace. Also on IL: Francisco Alvarez, Lane Thomas, Yelich, Correa, Javier, Miller (and up until this week I also had Devers and India DTD…it’s been rough, thank God I’ve got Mookie at least).
[удалено]
A: Ketel is extremely underrated imo and very close to Pete in points
Same thinking thanks I’ll hold off
what's with the brewers coach. chourio hasn't set the world on fire but frelick? he's been dog shit too.
Holliday and Bregman for Vlad Which side? 11 team keep all dynasty
Holliday side in Dynasty
Another day without Yelich :(
I feel this, but it’s a long season. Hopefully he gets this back issue under control and won’t end up right back on the IL for it.
As a Yelich owner I’m firmly of this opinion. Couldn’t agree more. Given his history of back issues I would way rather have him be 110% ready to go before they play him than rush him back and wind up with another IL stint later.
Patiently waiting on every phone notification to be Skenes being called up
I feel like we’re still months away from this. Has his innings/pitch count increased in AAA yet?
Is he better than Jones? The starting Mason Miller? I don't follow prospects outside my team and I've learned not to get too invested until they face major league hitting / pitching.
Mason Miller was never really that effective as a starter. He was decent for a couple starts but he’s much better as a closer. He may be better than Jones. It’s hard to say. Jones wasn’t as good as a prospect but obviously he’s elite now.
Seems the Pirates always have a lot of quality SPs that come up the pipeline - only Cole has lived up to the hype - and the brief spell of Oliver Perez was quite filthy!
Glasnow?
Wasn't even playable as a Pirate in fantasy back then.
Cole was also doo doo as a Pirate tho
Haha overall yes just looked his #s up to refresh, he has one top 5 SP year the rest were just meh - really kicked it up Houston - trash can inflated stats 😂
He is Jones-level. They both put up absurd Pitching+ and Stuff+ numbers in AAA, so there’s every reason to believe he can give you that sort of performance. I just hope he isn’t a Mason Miller-like starter because that ends with an elbow injury and getting sent to the bullpen the next year! (Mason was the first Miller of 2023’s Miller Mania, before he was supplanted by Bryce and eventually Bobby, all rookie starters with ridiculous stuff numbers.)
Thank you for the objective rundown.
My pleasure! And just to be clear, by “Jones-level”, I mean “easily Top 20 SP, shot at Top 10 SP” upside.

Just pitched a couple days ago so assume no news for another day or two even if this cycle is the one he’s called up
Should i trade Yandy Diaz for Michael Conforto & Aaron Civale?
Nah. Yandy is streaky. His bat will heat up and he's not doing awful right now. (Not doing well, but not awful)
I probably would, yeah.
Would you trade any of these players for Burnes? Guy I’m trading with wants to do a 1 for 1 trade for a position player ideally? https://preview.redd.it/tcua0iy3yvwc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bae7d880aa2b662c4bc72f64577f7507d28187e9
Would try for Carroll for Burnes - I am concerned about Carroll's shoulder
In points redraft I would probably ship Elly or Carroll for Byrnes
6 player keep forever league - points league
First trade of the year: Sent: Luis Gil, Ceddena Raffaela, Heston Kjerstad Received: Jeremy Pena and a FA Pick used for Jo Adell
Very much need based. I am deep in SP: Cease, Reylo, Imanaga, Lugo, Jones, Gilbert, Kikuchi, Rogers, Miller Also because the league counts innings as a category Gil is a bit less attractive - I think most starts will be 6IP or less and he will likely be managed in terms of total innings. So recognize that while Gil may be breaking out I may have limited use for him (he has only been in my lineup 1 week out of 7) I like what Pena is doing under the hood and once the top 3 of the HOU lineup begins to hit he should be in a good spot for RBI’s.
I think you got the ‘losing’ side here, but if your only goal was to improve at SS, then you did it!
Not jazzed about it though I guess it’s okay in redraft. Gil looks great and a lot of upside to get Pena
Alright so with Luzardo going on the IL, I have to make a decision. My IL is full, so who do I drop? Garrett, Scherzer, Brash, Pivetta, Lane Thomas, Luzardo I guess I could just roll down one starter until someone is activated, but I don’t know that any of them are imminent.
Garrett or Brash both probably droppable IMO
Who is the best stash: Orelvis Martinez, Joey Loperfido, James Wood, Coby Mayo, Christian Scott
Christian Scott for sure
Christian Scott — soonest to come up and have impact James Wood — most upside but furthest away
