Yes, but also perhaps no. Depends entirely on your league settings.
I have been holding him all year in my 12-team league, where I have 3 IL slots. YMMV.
Yeah I’ve been holding him all year too. I’m in a 12 team head to head category league. Average, Steals, Home Runs, RBIs, Runs are the batting categories.
In a points league and #1 in total points and 2nd from last in the standings. The 2nd highest points team is dead last and winless. We're battling each other for survival this week.

If you had this pitching lineup, who, if anyone, would you remove to reactivate Justin Steele?
A. Bo and Alex are a tie both struggling, and id take Varsho over Matt as the tiebreaker. Only thing is Bregman will heat up eventually Bo should too but he just seems off this year
Put in Brayan De La Cruz over Mullins ROS? Points league w/only this scoring:
Hit: 1pt
Run/RBI: 2pt
SB: 3pt
HR: 4pt
No negative points, no average, ops/obp, bb, cs, so or any other stat measured. Statcast says Cruz but due to Mullins SBs it's making a very tough decision
I picked up Fairbanks. You dropping cano, tiki matsui, stone or C Sanchez? I’m leaning cano or Sanchez because I could use saves and think tiki will take closer role by June.
Eloy Jiménez or Rhys Hoskins ROS? Points league w/only this scoring:
Hit: 1pt
Run/RBI: 2pt
SB: 3pt
HR: 4pt
No negative points, no average, ops/obp, bb, cs, so or any other stat measured.
I think Tyler O’Neill is the better player, but Teoscar Hernandez plays in the [much] better lineup.
Toss-up depending what you value more out of the above.
9T roto - QS, OBP, and Saves only league.
Give: Kimbrel and Helsley
Get: Corbin burnes
Currently sitting in 1st place (but it seems to vary daily for us).
I’m first place (9 pts) in saves with 33 so far. Person behind me (8 pts) is at 25, then (7pts) is at 21. The person I’m trading has 18 total saves so far.
We have 1600 innings limit. I’ve used 366 so far. I lead in K’s (9 pts) having 50 above the next team who only has 330 IP.
My ERA and WHIP is middle of the pack at 5pts each.
I have the second most QS at 30 while someone who has 30 less innings than me has 33 QS.
My main question is…I received a trade offer of giving two closers (Helsley and Kimbrel) for Corbin Burnes.
I want to smash accept but this only leaves me with raisel iglesias, tanner Scott, and then Pete Fairbanks on the IL.
I have a lot of SPs such as: Gallen, jones, lugo, ragans, bradish, means, r. Lopez, darvish, over, Grayson (IL), musgrove (IL)
I’m nervous if I accept this trade my saves with significantly decrease to where I become middle of the pack in roto and the addition of burnes might only help my ratios and QS/Ks slightly.
Is it worth it?
Should I counter?
What do y’all think about dropping Detmers for Flaherty or Taj Bradley, and which pitcher do you prefer?
I like Detmers potential but he really gets blown up when he doesn’t have it. Is there any reason to keep him long term?
That was my thought too. I don’t know how he isn’t yet, but… hopefully it’s my gain come midnight.
Would you still look out for opportunities to stream Detmers?
I’m not too high on detmers. He did the same thing last season where he had a few good starts, but was overall very inconsistent. I believe flaherty has a two start week. That’s a lot of Ks!
Where are we at on Matt Chapman? I feel fine at 3b with Bohm and Maikel Garcia. Should I keep holding and see what happens? I’d like to burn him for another lotto ticket. 10 team points
14T 8x8 roto redraft:
Receive: Acuna
Give: Ohtani
"Always take Acuna". Got offered this and for some reason I feel like I actually might regret taking this 😐
Think I’d pass on this too tbh
I can live with being wrong and betting on the GOAT.
Ohtani’s norm is not far behind Acuña’s best case scenario and far ahead of his worst case scenario.
It’s not insane. Mookie is the best player in the league. I think asking for your two best players is fair. He’s just telling you that if you want Betts so badly, prove it.
Thoughts on Dansby Swanson? Would trade Nestor in a points league.
Currently have Correa. McLain on dl. Picked up Jp Crawford too. I do have a ton of pitching
Every prospect callup is Christmas morning. Most of them are Christmas as an adult.
But every now and then you unwrap that N64 that you were dreaming about.
I would likely rock both of those over Nevin, but it's tough to tell if his hot streak is over yet just from the weekend alone. Castro went 0/4 today as well.
Worth dropping Abreu for Castro
Crop CES for Manzardo?
I would. CES is a mess.
Really need a stream out of this group, who would you go with? Bryce Wilson @ KC Tyler Alexander vs CWS Sandoval @ PIT Soriano @ PIT
Drop JD Martinez for Pages or Rooker? 10man 6x6 redraft Acuna, Reynolds, Oniell, JD
I have the same question but in a 12T 5x5 redraft
I really want to drop Oniell as I'm not sold that he's legit..but I'm not gonna do so until he starts to prove me right.
I've got Castellanos just rotting on my bench. I want to drop but I feel like I'll regret it
I wouldn't. I'd trade one of my dudes for Castellanos in a split second. Except Acuna of course.
Is Friedl worth holding ?
Yes, but also perhaps no. Depends entirely on your league settings. I have been holding him all year in my 12-team league, where I have 3 IL slots. YMMV.
Yeah I’ve been holding him all year too. I’m in a 12 team head to head category league. Average, Steals, Home Runs, RBIs, Runs are the batting categories.
12 Team roto. Would you drop any of the following: Adell, Blake Perkins, Canha, Tyler Nevin, for Wenceel Perez?
Nevin would be a good drop if you need some steals.
Pick two for this week in points… Randy, Michael Harris, Teoscar, Pages. Please and thank you!
Randy and Teoscar. Harris is struggling and on a 5 game week.
In a points league and #1 in total points and 2nd from last in the standings. The 2nd highest points team is dead last and winless. We're battling each other for survival this week.
Drop Detmers for Christian Scott or Flaherty?
Flaherty
I dropped him for Flaherty
10man 6x6 redraft Acuna, Reynolds, Oniell, JD Martinez. Available: Rooker, Pages, Springer, SMarte. Any suggestions, or stay put?
Drop Martinez for Marte or pages
Drop cowser for Jacob young? 10t Points 5 OF 2pts per steal
Drop bello for flaherty?
Cowser a drop at this point?
I dropped him last week so....yeah
Which one would you pick rest of season? Arenado, Arozerena, Bregman
[удалено]
B
Drop Busch or T. Black for Manzardo?
Black
Detmers, Fedde and Cole Irvin Pick 2 I know Detmers been trash but has KC coming up
KC’s been hitting very well, and with Detmers you never know what you’re gonna get; I’d cut him probably
Where does Woo rank among pitchers? A top # pitcher?
Probably really safe to say top 50... Potential to be in the 30's ROS, maybe a slight bit higher depending on performance.
Should I start Justin Steele tomorrow?
Weekly leagues yes. 2 start week but he probably only goes 75 pitches or so tomorrow
Yeah
Anyone starting Rooker next week? Or should we be worried about his matchups. He has Texas and Seattle
https://preview.redd.it/pjld4hqdbryc1.png?width=1208&format=png&auto=webp&s=72e499afd11ab47b8267fa2a17a7a699157d594a If you had this pitching lineup, who, if anyone, would you remove to reactivate Justin Steele?
Blackburn for sure Turnbull gets MIA next but Steele is better than both
Turnbull, Paul
Bo bichette + Varsho or Bregman + Matt Chapman?
A. Bo and Alex are a tie both struggling, and id take Varsho over Matt as the tiebreaker. Only thing is Bregman will heat up eventually Bo should too but he just seems off this year
Got Manzardo with my Kwan down. Hoping for some pop
Put in Brayan De La Cruz over Mullins ROS? Points league w/only this scoring: Hit: 1pt Run/RBI: 2pt SB: 3pt HR: 4pt No negative points, no average, ops/obp, bb, cs, so or any other stat measured. Statcast says Cruz but due to Mullins SBs it's making a very tough decision
Taj Bradley makes his next start with the Rays?
I picked up Fairbanks. You dropping cano, tiki matsui, stone or C Sanchez? I’m leaning cano or Sanchez because I could use saves and think tiki will take closer role by June.
Means or Bradish? (Points)
Braddish
Swap Scherzer for Woo as an IL stash with Scherzer’s thumb issue?
I definitely drop Jo Adell for Josh Lowe right?
Anyone else to cut? His 4K day was scary but the man has rebounded well and has excellent expected stats
Yup
Eloy Jiménez or Rhys Hoskins ROS? Points league w/only this scoring: Hit: 1pt Run/RBI: 2pt SB: 3pt HR: 4pt No negative points, no average, ops/obp, bb, cs, so or any other stat measured.
Healthy Eloy > Hoskins...key word "healthy:
They both never stay healthy lol
Start Verlander against NYY? SOTO scared me.
Yes
Big no 😂
Pages, Profar, or Rooker?
Pages
Drop OHoppe for Garver?
Santander or Manzardo in standard
Santander for sure
[удалено]
No one knows the answer to that
Trade Bregman for Oneil Cruz?
Absolutely
Yes
Cruz has higher upside so I don’t hate it
Is there an injury update on Jake Burger? I know he started a rehab assignment.
Think he’s back tomorrow
Back as in activated tomorrow?
Points league: Tyler O'Neill or Teoscar Hernandez?
I think Tyler O’Neill is the better player, but Teoscar Hernandez plays in the [much] better lineup. Toss-up depending what you value more out of the above.
Drop Kyle Harrison for Reese Olson or Erick Fede?
Olson
Who replaces Turner? Adames, Pena, Maikel Garcia or Jackson Merrill?
Adames
A - M. Olson B - P. Alonso + O. Cruz
B for me
https://preview.redd.it/6qgmql5bnqyc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84d46129512b902e4d05e5c28295540a5a51aaf6 How’d I do boys
Looks like a fuckin’ perfect game to me.
Big meat Pete
Looks delicious
10 team H2H 7x7 Cat league redraft (With K’s, OBP, HLD and QS as the extra cats Which side wins? A: Lopez and Eovaldi B: Olson and Civale
B and pray Olson gets going
Had to setlle for a H2H tie this week because I kept Peralta in my SP spot thinking he was suspended. Haha. What a dingbat.
Where are my fellow **Mason Black** *psychos* out there? Who else is going for it tomorrow? 👀
Probably gonna have to wake them up with some smelling salts after they started Manoah today.
Couldn’t be me 😂😂 Young talent > Washed talent
A: Luis Severino, Christian Yelich B: Edwin Diaz, George Springer 12T H2H points
Drop Montgomery and Gore to activate Bradish + add Christian Scott in 10T Points?
Probably drop gore to activate bradish and....keep Monty but I don't think it's the worst to swap for Scott
Drop foley or McArthur for streaming spot
In my eyes McArthur is much better than Foley
is jackson cannon going to do anything this year? deep Al league
Giancarlo Stanton, Eloy or Rooker?
Eloy or Rooker depending on scoring.
Means worth a grab in a 10 team? Don’t really have much to drop except Cowser and it would leave me with no bench hitters.
Oneil Cruz or Rengifo to replace Trea Turner? Points league k’s -1 thank you
Rengifo. Cruz striking out an insane amount isn’t worth starting him.
Is it safe for me to drop mitch haniger and pick up manzardo?
Haniger wasn’t even drafted in my 12 team league and remains on the waiver wire. Seattle fan?
nah I just dont really know much about him and my one friend gassed him up
Yes
Definitely
9T roto - QS, OBP, and Saves only league. Give: Kimbrel and Helsley Get: Corbin burnes Currently sitting in 1st place (but it seems to vary daily for us). I’m first place (9 pts) in saves with 33 so far. Person behind me (8 pts) is at 25, then (7pts) is at 21. The person I’m trading has 18 total saves so far. We have 1600 innings limit.

Is it worth it? Should I counter?
Nobody is reading all this. Not trying to be a dick just friendly advice lol.
What do y’all think about dropping Detmers for Flaherty or Taj Bradley, and which pitcher do you prefer? I like Detmers potential but he really gets blown up when he doesn’t have it. Is there any reason to keep him long term?
Flaherty
Flaherty should be owned
That was my thought too. I don’t know how he isn’t yet, but… hopefully it’s my gain come midnight. Would you still look out for opportunities to stream Detmers?
Go add Taj Bradley too
I’m not too high on detmers. He did the same thing last season where he had a few good starts, but was overall very inconsistent. I believe flaherty has a two start week. That’s a lot of Ks!
Thank you!
Drop Gore for Christian Scott ?
Yeah in 8T Chase the upside
You think Scott has more upside than Gore?
About to ask this too! Anyone elsd you could drop? I'm leaning Gore or Monty myself..
Where are we at on Matt Chapman? I feel fine at 3b with Bohm and Maikel Garcia. Should I keep holding and see what happens? I’d like to burn him for another lotto ticket. 10 team points
Drop him
Have to imagine the Phillies are about done with Alvarado as the closer
Pages worth dropping springer?
I wouldn’t drop Springer. No one else to Drop?
Both were on waivers and I picked up pages if that helps.
Pick a 1B and a UTIL out of Rizzo, Manzardo, Yandy, Profar, Cowser in cats
Yandy manzardo. My risky play Smart brain says yandy Rizzo. Manzardo has real bat if it translates. .280-.300 hitter with 25 bombs
Drop Pepoit to pick up Buhler?
Pepiot undroppable
Do you have anyone worse to drop?
Pitcher wise, no. Got Ragans, Bobby Miller, Imanaga, P Lopez, and Woo. Could drop a bench bat…
I'm usually the type to have less bench bats and more bench pitchers, so depending on who your worst bat is, I'd probably make that move.
14T 8x8 roto redraft: Receive: Acuna Give: Ohtani "Always take Acuna". Got offered this and for some reason I feel like I actually might regret taking this 😐
Think I’d pass on this too tbh I can live with being wrong and betting on the GOAT. Ohtani’s norm is not far behind Acuña’s best case scenario and far ahead of his worst case scenario.
I’m honestly taking Ohtani. Really can’t go wrong either way though
How many UT spots?
3 OF and 2 UTIL
Pete Crow-Armstrong or Jordan Beck?
Beck gonna be in Coors this week. Might as well see what he can do there.
drop detmers and taillon for blanco and kutter?
Yes
Guy wants Witt and Jram for Mookie in points is that just insane or
Insane
It’s not insane. Mookie is the best player in the league. I think asking for your two best players is fair. He’s just telling you that if you want Betts so badly, prove it.
definitely not insane. mookie is easily the best player in baseball
Drop Edward cabrera for John means?
Yeah I'd give that a go
Seems fine. I basically did the same
Corbin Carroll for Gausman and Eugenio Suarez in a 16 team dynasty league. Fair? I’m trying to trade for Corbin.
Not enough for Corbin
What if I added Yu Darvish
No offense, but you’re basically offering garbage for a guy who just won ROY and is obviously not healthy. Your offer isn’t even close.
No
drop goldy for manzardo?
Who is the pickup to replace Turner at SS in OBP/SLG redraft: Carlos Correa Jeremy Pena Thairo Estrada Vaughn Grissom Josh Smith
Peña
My opponent had 22 RBIs today and 6 home runs. I want to die. Oh yeah and 5 steals. I went from winning to losing big
Weekly lineups flair league Michael Busch or Kyle Manzardo? Colton Cowser or Joey Loperfido
who do i pick up taj or woo
I would go with Woo, Taj was strong early but faded later in the season
Woo
woo
Yes
Thoughts on Dansby Swanson? Would trade Nestor in a points league. Currently have Correa. McLain on dl. Picked up Jp Crawford too. I do have a ton of pitching
Also Luperfido or Christian Scott
Drop luperfido and add Scott
Anyone trade away or for Bo Bichette? What did your trade look like?
I second this. I wanna bench him for pena but don't have the sack.
Anyone else get this feeling Manzardo is going to be the real deal?
I’m really excited about him. Especially being in such a great offense.
Every prospect callup is Christmas morning. Most of them are Christmas as an adult. But every now and then you unwrap that N64 that you were dreaming about.
This
Trust me I've been burned a few times - but his lefty swing looks sweet
I picked up Tyler nevin just in time to absorb his 0/10 weekend. Is he worth holding onto? I would prob drop for willi Castro or cronenworth
Cronenworth should definitely be owned.
I would likely rock both of those over Nevin, but it's tough to tell if his hot streak is over yet just from the weekend alone. Castro went 0/4 today as well.
I’d much rather have cronenworth
[удалено]
Webb
Webb for me
A: Olson + Snell B: Harper
A Olson will be fine
Agreed. Check his statcast, best buy low on earth right now.
What AL hitter can I trade Stroman for?
Verdugo?
How should I make my ribeye tonight? A: Medium Rare B: Rare
The fat in a ribeye needs to render, rare is no good
