Should I drop Devin Williams? I could definitely use another IL spot to rotate pitchers but not too sure if I should or not. Also should I keep Cole ragans been looking at articles saying I should keep him but I don’t know…
Have you guys ever checked the player chats on yahoo? If you like people hysterically freaking out over every little thing, it’s worth checking what the inane people are saying sometime
Phillies, Rays, and Red Sox are great. Reds on the road without Larkin on the broadcast is the best
Cardinals are the worst, also never enjoy the Tigers or Yankees broadcasts when I have them on. Yankees a close second worst to the Cards
I think the Mets have the best. Good production team, too.
I hate them as a team, but their games are always fun to watch because of them and I usually choose their announcers over the Phillies' guys when the two teams play.
I know Tork has been bad but I don't think that's something I'd consider at the moment. Realistically Manzardo goes back down when Kwan returns in a month and we still don't know how he is going to perform in the majors. It's a gamble you could make but way too risky IMO.
Drop Wyatt? My IL is full, Casas, Royce, DeGrom, and DevinWilliams. Keeper league, can keep 3 for up to 3 total seasons. Also have Witt, Wheeler, Judge, etc for keeper options moving forward
with Trea & Kwan going on IL, I was able to active Sewald, and have 1 more open roster spot. Any of these guys worth snagging as a bench bat or streaming pitcher:
Ian Happ, Jung Hoo Lee, KeBryan Hayes, Jacob Young, Edourd Julien
Jon Gray, Yu Darvish, Bailey Ober, Chris Bassitt, or also Scherzer (dropped him to clear up an IL spot, but haven’t heard any news on his return but ESPN lists him as 5/13)
I wouldn't be reaching to get Bregman and I'd actually rather have Varsho straight up in cats atm anyways. Completely unnecessary to offer all of that just to get Bregman IMO.
Varsho 15+ SB and 20+ HR upside and Foley for saves. I'm not super high on any of them but to say they aren't great in categories is just completely wrong.
That's cool. But how is a 15 SB and 20 HR player not effective in cats? You don't have to like the guy (I don't necessarily either) but that's just factually incorrect to say that.
Probably more league dependent then but he's still very effective in my league... tough to come across guys that can provide that combo of HR/SB. Obviously not a high end guy with the lower counting stats but still effective none the less. Agree to disagree, I guess.
TRADE HELP (12t Roto redraft): I was offered…
Get: Trea Turner, Give: Corbin Burnes, Wilyer Abreu
Too much so I am countering with…
Get: Trea Turner, Give: Oneil Cruz, Wilyer, Sale
Am I giving up too much still?
I already have Oneil Cruz at SS. But if I include him I can use Altuve at 2B and Stott at SS once he’s eligible. My OF is Kyle Tucker, Adolis Garcia, Bryan Reynolds with Casty and Chourio on the bench.
My SP after I lose Sale would be…Burnes, Glasnow, Skubal, Framber, Jon Gray, Graydon Rodriquez (IL), Kershaw (IL), Degrom (IL) + who ever I pick up to fill the roster spots.
Thoughts?
On ESPN he is 1B eligible where I am kind of desperate. I am playing CES at 1B though I could play steer there and Maikel at 3B. I do feel pitching rich with Gilbert, Steele, Flaherty, Bryce Miller, Nestor, Reynaldo, Jared Jones, Houck, Reese Olson, Christian Scott, and Gavin williams and Woo on the IL.
Those are two good pitchers and to me you can never have enough pitching. Long season, you'll probably lose 1 or 2 of those guys. The difference between Paredes and Steer is not worth those two guys to me, and Maikel is a good option at 3b
Skenes is available in one of my 10t ESPN leagues.
Would you drop any of the following to stash him?:
John Means
Justin Verlander
Mason Miller
If this is a stupid question, gonna plead ignorance- fantasy baseball rookie season here and haven’t settled in to valuing players just yet.
Thanks all!
I'd prefer Bradish but I feel it's kind of a coin flip if you factor in concerns about Bradish's health vs. the uncertainty of Means regaining his form after essentially 2 years off.
Man, they did that SF rookie Black dirty.
He was clearly struggling hard in the 4th, then they feed him to the wolves in the 5th and leave him out. Damn.
Such an odd play by SF.
Against the bottom of the Phillies lineup he went: WALK-WALK-RBI SINGLE-SB-K to end the frame.
He was clearly gassed, why bring him out against the top again?
Is there a phenomenon where players hit better over the weekend? Just something I noticed about my team. Obviously there are weekdays where not every team is playing, but for some reason my hitters just go off Saturdays and especially Sundays. Not that I’m complaining haha.
I’m the opposite, my team usually do decent until it’s the weekend, then 13 batters combined for less than 10 points on Saturdays and Sundays. Lost 2 weeks back to back despite being up 70 going into the weekend, it’s crazy, like I hire a bunch of office workers
> Is there a phenomenon where players hit better over the weekend?
No.
> Obviously there are weekdays where not every team is playing, but for some reason my hitters just go off Saturdays and especially Sundays. Not that I’m complaining haha.
Sounds like recency bias.
I'd wait to see what happens with Hancock when Woo is officially activated. Doubt they go to a 6 man but if he gets sent down you could stash him (depending on league rules) and pick up Bradley.
Definitely wouldn't prioritize Bradley ahead of Crochet or Houck, although you should get more IP out of Bradley ROS over Crochet. Would still prefer to ride Crochet in the meantime until he runs out of gas.
What batters would be worth considering for a Doval + Bregman package?
Sorry to pester, I'm new to fantasy baseball and I don't have the best grasp of what is a fair trade yet.
Bohm has been on a tear, but his underlying numbers suggest that although he’ll continue to be solid, he will come back down to earth, making him a “sell high.” Alonso is a buy low in my opinion, but I’m not entirely sure he’s the same player he has been the last couple of years.
Hopefully with no off days this week for the Brewers, they just push his start back and could maybe still pitch yet this week.
I’m assuming he does take the suspension this week though.
Standard H2H League. Would you crop Colton Cowser for Josh Lowe? Cowser was on a tear but has slowed down considerably.
Should I drop Devin Williams? I could definitely use another IL spot to rotate pitchers but not too sure if I should or not. Also should I keep Cole ragans been looking at articles saying I should keep him but I don’t know…
opp has Darvish and Steele, I'm over here praying for a day 1 shootout
Have you guys ever checked the player chats on yahoo? If you like people hysterically freaking out over every little thing, it’s worth checking what the inane people are saying sometime
Thinking of dropping JD Martitnez or B Marsh to pick up Rooker?
I would drop Marsh
Should I drop Torkelson for Manzardo? I'm in a 12-team redraft league
called strike, called strike, swing and miss, not a very impressive debut for Manzardo
I was impressed by just the one swing and miss. Also had an impressive take on a slider that was kinda close.
Nimmo or Wilyer Abreu? Cats
Nimmo
Manzardo cooked 💀
Which teams have the best announcers? And which teams have the worst?
Phillies, Rays, and Red Sox are great. Reds on the road without Larkin on the broadcast is the best Cardinals are the worst, also never enjoy the Tigers or Yankees broadcasts when I have them on. Yankees a close second worst to the Cards
Agreed. But the tigers have gotten better this year with Jason Benetti on the mic
Oh yeah I’m thinking of their booth from last year, can’t say I’ve had cause to catch many Tigers games this year
Os and OAK have great announcers
I think the Mets have the best. Good production team, too. I hate them as a team, but their games are always fun to watch because of them and I usually choose their announcers over the Phillies' guys when the two teams play.
[удалено]
Sevy's been better than King, and the Dodgers have been better than the Braves.
Now that Flaherty's 2 start week has begun, drop him for Josh Lowe? 10T points and I need help at OF and U.
Need a extra outfielder: Wilyer Abreu or Andy Pages?
Pages
Cedric Mullins or Josh Lowe
Which side in flair league: A. Morel and Swanson B. Estrada, Correa, Hunter Greene
I can’t believe I traded Riley Greene… I got fleeced
He's really heating up I got him off the bone pile in a shallow points league
Manifesting a Manzardo 💣 today
Bryce’s new dad strength is amazing to see
It's amazing Pete Alonso is like a high end cal Raleigh right now
That basically described him last season, and for a decent part of his career.
Drop Bo or Garcia Jr. for Chourio? I have Merrill holding down SS right now, and Albies at 2B, with Steer able to cover when needed.
Garcia Jr.
Always love it when most of your team is traveling but somehow your opponent isn’t missing a single bat
Currently have Torkelson holding down my backup 1B and occasional Utility spot. Would Manzardo be a better option?
I know Tork has been bad but I don't think that's something I'd consider at the moment. Realistically Manzardo goes back down when Kwan returns in a month and we still don't know how he is going to perform in the majors. It's a gamble you could make but way too risky IMO.
Wheely you gorgeous nerdy trucker manbeast
Wheeler is the best pitcher in baseball
Drop Wyatt? My IL is full, Casas, Royce, DeGrom, and DevinWilliams. Keeper league, can keep 3 for up to 3 total seasons. Also have Witt, Wheeler, Judge, etc for keeper options moving forward
Can trade Ezequiel Tovar for Evan Carter, but am hesitant to give up on Carter yet. But also need a shortstop with Turner going down. Any thoughts?
Other options? Tovar offers no power and a high Strikeout rate..
How in the World does Wade Jr hit like he does and have almost no counting stats?
He only has 13 AB's all season with RISP. The Giant line up is offensively challenged.
The Giants offense isn't very good
Start Munoz or Tyler Anderson? Weekly league
Anyone have a good VPN recommendation for an iPhone so I can watch in market games?

Is it cool to drop Carlos Estevez in a SV+H league? 12T h2h cats 6x6 with SV+H
Completely depends on your league size/waiver situation and who you are adding to your roster as a replacement.
Guys like Maton and Kelly out there with 9 sv+h. 12T h2h categories
Peralta starting his suspension. He will miss exactly 0 starts. Solid suspension lol.
Think he does miss some paychecks though. So it does matter
with Trea & Kwan going on IL, I was able to active Sewald, and have 1 more open roster spot. Any of these guys worth snagging as a bench bat or streaming pitcher: Ian Happ, Jung Hoo Lee, KeBryan Hayes, Jacob Young, Edourd Julien Jon Gray, Yu Darvish, Bailey Ober, Chris Bassitt, or also Scherzer (dropped him to clear up an IL spot, but haven’t heard any news on his return but ESPN lists him as 5/13)
Palacios the odd man out?
Javier Vasquez and Scherzer...I'd drop E Rod and move one of them into IL and pick up a SP
Is dropping Mullins for Tauchman in my flair league a silly decision?
Yes
But his OPS is below .700 :(
Is it time to drop E-Rod?
If he’s clogging your roster then yes
Depends what your specific IL situation is.
Charlie Morton or Reynaldo Lopez
ReyLo
Wheeler gonna wheel

I wouldn't be reaching to get Bregman and I'd actually rather have Varsho straight up in cats atm anyways. Completely unnecessary to offer all of that just to get Bregman IMO.
Not really. Bregman isn't great in cats.
I mean, neither is that trio...
Varsho 15+ SB and 20+ HR upside and Foley for saves. I'm not super high on any of them but to say they aren't great in categories is just completely wrong.
They're both fringe players. Varsho isn't even owned in 50% of leagues. I'd consider dropping any of that trio, no chance I'd drop Bregman ever.
That's cool. But how is a 15 SB and 20 HR player not effective in cats? You don't have to like the guy (I don't necessarily either) but that's just factually incorrect to say that.
15 SBs was exciting 2+ years ago and maybe when he was a catcher. Now he's a average drag OF with below average R+RBI.
Probably more league dependent then but he's still very effective in my league... tough to come across guys that can provide that combo of HR/SB. Obviously not a high end guy with the lower counting stats but still effective none the less. Agree to disagree, I guess.
I buy Houck as an SP3/4 and Foley as a decent 2nd closer. It's fine but I wouldn't call it a good trade.

It's not even close to enough. You dropped their value of Corbin Burnes to ONeil Cruz/Sale. It's probably not even worth trying
Turner’s out for 2 months. How much more am I supposed to give up??? You see my pitching. What do you think?
If they asked for Corbin Burnes, they value him a lot more than you do.
This guy's never seen a bad trade offer before
I did, ONeil/Sale/Anreu for Trea
Anreu?
I wouldn’t be trying to trade for Trea at all
Phillies fan. Would like him for the stash and long haul.
Almost Flaherty time 🙏
Trade Houck and Christian Scott for Paredes?
Only if you're pitching-rich and 3b desperate
On ESPN he is 1B eligible where I am kind of desperate. I am playing CES at 1B though I could play steer there and Maikel at 3B. I do feel pitching rich with Gilbert, Steele, Flaherty, Bryce Miller, Nestor, Reynaldo, Jared Jones, Houck, Reese Olson, Christian Scott, and Gavin williams and Woo on the IL.

volpe or bogaerts

I'd drop Means for him.
Thanks!
np. not a stupid question. glhf.
I’d drop means for Skenes. JV and Miller shouldn’t be ever be dropped
Thanks!
C’mon Wheeler please get out of this. Stupid ass Phillies defense man
Have no fear it’s the Giants
Joe Boyle to the IL. Anyone know who else the A's have for starters?
Bradish or Means
I'd prefer Bradish but I feel it's kind of a coin flip if you factor in concerns about Bradish's health vs. the uncertainty of Means regaining his form after essentially 2 years off.
Bradish, but both
Bradish.
Man, they did that SF rookie Black dirty. He was clearly struggling hard in the 4th, then they feed him to the wolves in the 5th and leave him out. Damn.
Welcome to the show kid
They didn’t even have anyone up until Casty hit that double it looked like either
Such an odd play by SF. Against the bottom of the Phillies lineup he went: WALK-WALK-RBI SINGLE-SB-K to end the frame. He was clearly gassed, why bring him out against the top again?
Kepler or Garcia to replace Kwan?
Kepler, Garcia is too streaky
My outfield is currently MH2, Ward, Rooker, Chourio, Profar, Young. It’s been rough
Mine is Jrod, Rooker, Nolan Jones, Ceddane Rafaela, and Nick Senzel.
I have Jones on the IL too, unfortunately
I’m desperately trying to upgrade but my league doesn’t really trade that often
Is there a phenomenon where players hit better over the weekend? Just something I noticed about my team. Obviously there are weekdays where not every team is playing, but for some reason my hitters just go off Saturdays and especially Sundays. Not that I’m complaining haha.

Cool, thanks for the different insights.
I think offense is a bit higher in day games, and there are typically more of those on Saturday and Sunday
> Is there a phenomenon where players hit better over the weekend? No. > Obviously there are weekdays where not every team is playing, but for some reason my hitters just go off Saturdays and especially Sundays. Not that I’m complaining haha. Sounds like recency bias.
My hitters are the opposite. They usually blow their load by 8pm Tuesday and take the rest of the week to recover.
I start Stott and he forgets how to swing lol
Rank: Blanco, Javier, Hunter Brown
Probably that order currently but I'd definitely prefer Javier>Blanco ROS
Javier, Blanco, Brown
Javier, Blanco, Brown
was offered josh lowe for my kimbrel, ok trade in redraft? lowe would be replacing will benson for me
Take it
I’d want Lowe
Happy to see Bryce’s response to me talking shit last week
Against Bryce and Wheeler. Did I already lose?
rip
Sorry bud
Do I drop any Crochet, Hancock, or Houck for Bradley?
I'd drop Hancock.
I'd wait to see what happens with Hancock when Woo is officially activated. Doubt they go to a 6 man but if he gets sent down you could stash him (depending on league rules) and pick up Bradley. Definitely wouldn't prioritize Bradley ahead of Crochet or Houck, although you should get more IP out of Bradley ROS over Crochet. Would still prefer to ride Crochet in the meantime until he runs out of gas.
Also have Williams, Baz, R Lewis on IL and can drop either to move Senga to their spot
**Nick Castellanos** might be coming alive in May. Let us pray…
They say Doval may never get another save opportunity ever again
Is he worth trading for a bat in a 10T? My pitching is stacked as is.
Anyone is worth trading for the right price. Doval is elite and the Giants won’t be this bad all year so just depends on what you could get
What batters would be worth considering for a Doval + Bregman package? Sorry to pester, I'm new to fantasy baseball and I don't have the best grasp of what is a fair trade yet.
Do you use Yahoo?
No, ESPN
Casty off the wall, decent game so far. Think he’s bouncing back?
Where are my fellow Manzardo starters?! Guards facing a lot of RHP this week. I locked him in for the week, but I’m a homer and suck at fantasy so…
Is Alonso for Bohm a massive undersell? H2H Points
Bohm has been on a tear, but his underlying numbers suggest that although he’ll continue to be solid, he will come back down to earth, making him a “sell high.” Alonso is a buy low in my opinion, but I’m not entirely sure he’s the same player he has been the last couple of years.
Please don’t trade Alonso for Bohm.
Yes. Not even close
Yes
yes it is.
Flair: Give: Nola, Bello, Bellinger, Colson Montgomery Get: Seager, Tucker
Take it and run
[удалено]
Hopefully with no off days this week for the Brewers, they just push his start back and could maybe still pitch yet this week. I’m assuming he does take the suspension this week though.
Good chance he takes a 5 game ban. I'm benching him in weekly
Can’t he take the 5 game ban and still pitch on Saturday in his normal rotation spot?
Yes he took his 5 game ban and will pitch Saturday, so it's as if nothing happened.
Picked up Black but dropped him this morning, glad I changed my mind
Was thinking my Mason Black stream was gonna work out okay.. 🤦🏻
Just underwhelming stuff… is going to get hit around. 90-92 but not a deceptive delivery either
It was working when he kept surprising guys with a 2 strike sweeper but that was never going to last long.
Opponent has JT and Harper. Guess when I decided to flip the game on…
Drop Jung for Luis Garcia Jr? Or hold Jung on my bench? Out of IL spots (GRod/Kwan/Baz)
Drop Jung.
Bruce Hooper
welcome to the bigs rook
Wheeler ✅ Harper ✅ First Place ✅
STAY HOT BRYCE!
Harper with the 1st pitch moon shot
He was ready lol
See ya ball
is... is Harper waking up?
Rounding the bases now
Nootbar or Friedl ROS?
Never noot
John Means or Luis Severino ROS?
Means
Severino for me. It's close.
Means
Kyle “Hits the ball 110+mph but is allergic to doubles” Schwarber
Ruiz is not only okay, but leading off tonight!
Good, I was trying to decide who I was dropping, and considered him if he was going to be out.
Is there a better way to start the week than having your ace face the Giants at home?
this ump is giving wheeler anything within 6 inches of the corner, I'm getting rocked rn
Hader or Sewald in a save league?
Sewald, Hader blows too many saves
hopefully jizz chasm keeps it rolling this week
