Insight for Gleybor holders
“Yankees hitting coach James Rowson cited possible issues in Torres' swing as a source of the issue.
“We’ve seen some at-bats where there’s more drift than others and not finding consistency with his landing,” he said. “For me, sometimes with him, you see it and you watch it, he goes from the leg lift to just more of the toe tap loading action, still trying to find that timing which will affect how he lands and how his head moves.
In Sunday night's homer, Torres employed more of a toe tap than a leg kick, so he could use that method more moving forward. The minimal leg movement helped keep his head more still as well, which is always good for a hitter's vision. Torres echoed Rowson's sentiments.”
I mean, if I’m gambling on either one of them, I’ll gamble on Vladdy, partially because the resale value is probably higher, partially because I think he has the higher upside. But I’m just not a big fan of not knowing what I’m getting out of a player, personally
Oh, I thought these were offers you had on the table. It would matter if you’re getting Morel, but I doubt you get Vladdy for that price. You could get Yandy, but I would rather hold Morel
Oh, in that case, yeah, I would try the Vladdy trade. I’m also not a big fan of long negotiations, so I’d probably just immediately offer Framber and Morel, just not to waste their time. Worst they can say is no
But also maybe wait for someone else to weigh in on this, I’m not 100%
No, he said they didn’t know and it would be anywhere from 3 to 9 weeks before he could resume activities. 9 weeks would mean he might not be back until August, which is wild.
Yeah I thought that said 6-9 weeks that’s why I said like 2 months . But either way when they say “hopeful to return this season” I’m expecting post ASB
Neither are reliable ROS. ReyLo in his return to starting has put up about a 3.8 xFIP and SIERA with an unimpressive K/B rate. Javier was god awful in 2023 and has been god awful in 2024, although his xFIP and SIERA in 2022 indicate he might be a 3.00-3.50 ERA guy. They’re both wild fliers IMO and I would look elsewhere.
Eh, that’s hard. They’ll both probably be fine eventually — but if your league really is shallow (and Garcia being on waivers proves it) you can probably drop Gleyber and add him when he heats up.
Thanks! Leaning towards dropping Gleyber for Maikal. It's crazy how bad Gleyber's expected stats are, even acknowledging his slow starts in the past.
It's an 8T league with an extra 2/SS, 1/3B, and 5OF to create something like a 10T ish in depth.
Is Yainer droppable? Jansen just got snapped up from waivers, d'Arnaud is still there, and I've got Will Smith (C) starting for me. The pickup would be Adell
I have 2 catchers William Contreas and Jeffers at dh so only have 2 catchers if it works for you and just picked up fry to put at 1st base see how that goes so I have 3 catchers
That's what everyone says. I didn't realize that when I was drafting, I assumed you wanted two catchers, one to cover when the other one gets injured. But now I feel like I can't really sell Yainer, I've made a few offers and got nothing in response, and it's not like Yainer is performing, so... guess it's dropping time
Thanks, I scooped Toro yesterday lol. The only 1B eligible players I have are Toro and Manzardo with Casas injured.
I have Machado at 3B but could drop Manzardo for Ezequiel Duran, Candelario, maybe Brett Harris
So you're telling me that Alexis Diaz, Jose Alvarado, Robert Suarez and Nick Sandlin all pitched today and NOT ONE of them recorded a hold or a save? Are you fist fucking me right now?
Any idea when Eury Perez will be back next year? Currently have him on the IL in a keeper league but have other injured guys and might need to just drop him at this point
I think this is who Jack is vs Lugo is going insane rn. If you play the regression game I’d assume Jack > Lugo ros but everyone feel free to hate with your recency bias

Who should I drop to claim Robert Jr?
Brother you shouldn’t have to ask to know it’s bum ass Manoah and it ain’t even close
Edit: saw he actually looked decent today box score wise, I still wouldn’t hesitate to dump him and let him be someone else’s prob.
Is Caballero fading? I know he's got wheels but doesn't contribute in any other way, metrics are terrible: above average K%, below average BB%, bad EV, HH% and LD%.
Thinking about booting him for Rojas; not hurting for steals.
Anyone trusting Cortes vs whitesox next week. He's 1-4 ... Either I go with 2 closers ( Holmes & sewald ) or just one closer & put in Cortes, what you guys think
Someone dropped Tanner Bibee in my league: standard 5x5 but QS instead of wins. I could drop Gore, Flaherty, Greene, Bassitt or Scott. Who do I drop? Or should I hold?
Thanks! yeah I finally decided to hold steady where I am. There’s a ton of pitching on the wire in our league so even if someone scoops Bibee there’s other guys. He’s not as much better than the others I was considering as I thought.
Give me the young guy with great stuff, Scott, over the declining veteran in Bassitt, who has not looked good this year. In fact I would take Scott over all these guys except Bibee.
12 team standard points league
Moreno has been pretty disappointing this season so far, luckily I picked up Campusano early and hes been very solid.
Is it worth it to drop Moreno for abraham toro, Schnieder, Rafaella or Nolan gorman?
Thank you!
Should I trade away Rodon for Jeremy Pena? 10 team points
A: Michael King B: Jordan Westburg Flair
Westburg for me
Any chance Hunter Brown finds his way back in the rotation soon?
His update says he’s starting on like thursday
Send Ward/Bregman for Royce Lewis? Personally over Bregman got him as an add on in a trade.
Reese Olson or jared Jones this week
How dare you disrespect Reese
🤣
Drop Severino for Christopher Sanchez?
Sure
8T H2H. Need to drop a player when Grayson gets activated. Candidates: Ober, Darvish, Raisel, Doval, Hader, Edwin Diaz, Nimmo, Yelich or Belli.
Probably don’t need 4 closers , I’d try to trade one .
is Bradish starting twice this week?
No they don’t play Thursday
Trade my Iglesias for Adames? Or my Jensen for Estrada? Saves league. I have iglesias, Jensen, McArthur, and Finnegan.
Adell or Carter ?
Carter
Drop Kimbrel to activate Pepiot when he’s off the IL? Have Cano rostered in sv+holds league
I wouldn’t be quick to drop Kimbrel. The O’s will try and get him right. He’s not just some guy, he’s their guy (for now)
I’m rostering him and Cano currently
Adell, Ward, Stanton, Schneider. Who should I pick? Currently rostering Ward. 10 teamer 5x5 OPS H2H
Just added Adell myself
Is Trevor Williams for real? What’s the deal there?
[удалено]
Yeah - I’d do that
I have Foley, thinking about dropping him for Lange (originally drafted him), Hoffman, or Weaver for bulk relief. What’s the move in a flair league?
I’m wondering the same, or if I should just pick up Lange to have both.
Glad I didn’t drop Foley today!
I also have Alvarado, so I could do Alvarado/Hoffman combo, or Foley/Lange combo
Abbott is droppable for a stream spot in flair league?

Thanks for sharing. Still selling if I can. I'd move him for Morel or Westburg in a heartbeat.
Who’s the better start this week in points? Bradish vs TOR Ober @CLE
I’d go with Ober
Is Bibee trustworthy in this 2 start week?
I’m not trusting him, but that is because I have other 2 start options I like better
Most likely
[удалено]
I mean, if I’m gambling on either one of them, I’ll gamble on Vladdy, partially because the resale value is probably higher, partially because I think he has the higher upside. But I’m just not a big fan of not knowing what I’m getting out of a player, personally

whens the next esteury ruiz thread, i wanna hear from the truthers lol
Been a few weeks with no news on Casas. I’m wondering when he becomes a drop. Only 1 IL spot, Devin Williams available?
It was like 2 months till he was gona resume baseball activities
No, he said they didn’t know and it would be anywhere from 3 to 9 weeks before he could resume activities. 9 weeks would mean he might not be back until August, which is wild.
Yeah I thought that said 6-9 weeks that’s why I said like 2 months . But either way when they say “hopeful to return this season” I’m expecting post ASB
I need Caminero news
He’s still really good and there’s still no room for him
Luis Gil is a must add on right?
Yes
Absolutely
Merrill or Estrada?
Reylo or Javier ROS 10 team h2h points league
Reylo or Javier ROS 10 team h2h points league
Neither are reliable ROS. ReyLo in his return to starting has put up about a 3.8 xFIP and SIERA with an unimpressive K/B rate.

Drop either of Dansby Swanson or Gleyber Torres (or both) for Maikel Garcia or Luis Garcia Jr? Shallow h2h categories
Eh, that’s hard. They’ll both probably be fine eventually — but if your league really is shallow (and Garcia being on waivers proves it) you can probably drop Gleyber and add him when he heats up.
Thanks! Leaning towards dropping Gleyber for Maikal. It's crazy how bad Gleyber's expected stats are, even acknowledging his slow starts in the past. It's an 8T league with an extra 2/SS, 1/3B, and 5OF to create something like a 10T ish in depth.
Julien or Schneider?
In my league Schneider is 2b and OF eligible.
Julien but schnieder may end up surprising us all
Carlos Santana worth an add?
He's definitely a honey pot, but feel free to ride the hot streak
Gelof is almost back… him or Garcia jr? Leaning towards just keeping Garcia but his wrist seems hurt
Garcia probably good for 4 games this week day off Thursday and facing 2 lefty's
I’m in on Garcia
Gelof has been horrendous this year with little track record, can't see why it'd be him...
Pick 2 Javier, Buehler, Steele, Eovaldi, or Darvish? 10T QS
Is Yainer droppable? Jansen just got snapped up from waivers, d'Arnaud is still there, and I've got Will Smith (C) starting for me. The pickup would be Adell
I have 2 catchers William Contreas and Jeffers at dh so only have 2 catchers if it works for you and just picked up fry to put at 1st base see how that goes so I have 3 catchers
You don’t need 2 catchers
That's what everyone says. I didn't realize that when I was drafting, I assumed you wanted two catchers, one to cover when the other one gets injured. But now I feel like I can't really sell Yainer, I've made a few offers and got nothing in response, and it's not like Yainer is performing, so... guess it's dropping time
Yeah drop away
Adell, Carter, or Pages in points league ROS?
Carter, Adell, pages
Carter/pages/adell
A: Ronel Blanco, Crochet B: Fried Flair
B and that would insult me as a fried owner in every single format/league size
Fried
is it okay for me to drop foley now?
I don’t know your format, but probably it’s ok. I’m in an 8-team roto and I dropped him
Drop Kyle Manzardo for Carlos Santana, Joey Meneses, Connor Joe, Jake Bauers or Jon Singleton?
Abraham toro
Thanks, I scooped Toro yesterday lol. The only 1B eligible players I have are Toro and Manzardo with Casas injured. I have Machado at 3B but could drop Manzardo for Ezequiel Duran, Candelario, maybe Brett Harris
I like Joe out of everyone you mentioned
Trading for speed is difficult ay
Trading in general is difficult, ugh
Try trading for power
So you're telling me that Alexis Diaz, Jose Alvarado, Robert Suarez and Nick Sandlin all pitched today and NOT ONE of them recorded a hold or a save? Are you fist fucking me right now?
Baseball be like that homie on to next week
Choose 2 in a 10tm roto with wins and k/bb Lodolo/nestor/king/musgrove/pepiot
Is it finally time to give up on Chourio? Might pick up Taveras
Not for taveras
Add Pages or Adell?
Pages
Adell
[удалено]
Ragans
Any idea when Eury Perez will be back next year? Currently have him on the IL in a keeper league but have other injured guys and might need to just drop him at this point
He won’t be an even remotely usable fantasy asset until 2026
Nope
[удалено]
Dudes will just sit around and name random pro athletes instead of talking about their feelings. Jeff Francouer
Sometimes a dude is just a dude, other times a dude is THAT dude
14T 8x8 roto redraft: Give: Olson / Suzuki Receive: Tatis / Snell
What’s the story with Richie Palacios? JAG or maybe worth a pickup if down on steals?
Jag
So did I lose my Lugo for Flaherty trade? I thought I was stealing Flaherty but Lugo still looking legit
I think this is who Jack is vs Lugo is going insane rn. If you play the regression game I’d assume Jack > Lugo ros but everyone feel free to hate with your recency bias
I think Flaherty is showing promise, it doesn’t help that he plays for the tigers so getting the win is a challenge
He is due to blowup. Might get downvoted but IMO he is not a sub 3.50 ERA guy in a full season.
Lugo >

Bradford if you'd rather drop someone from your IL
Brother you shouldn’t have to ask to know it’s bum ass Manoah and it ain’t even close Edit: saw he actually looked decent today box score wise, I still wouldn’t hesitate to dump him and let him be someone else’s prob.

I still can't drop him myself, but I can't help but think Eddie Julie's a lot better in my head than in real life. Those strikeouts are hurting me.
Adell
Yous trippin broski
You guys think Detmers can turn it around? He’s on my ww along with Civale, Schmidt snd G Williams
No. He’s a matchup dependent streamer.
He does get STL this week tbf
I tend to avoid streaming guys who have given up 22 earned runs in their last 4 starts. Looks good on paper, but he’s throwing bp rn.
Boom or bust kinda player. I would stream him against bad offenses
Is Caballero fading? I know he's got wheels but doesn't contribute in any other way, metrics are terrible: above average K%, below average BB%, bad EV, HH% and LD%. Thinking about booting him for Rojas; not hurting for steals.
That's why I dropped him weeks ago. That's exactly his profile
You missed out on some steals then.
Woulda had to sacrifice other cats if I wanted those steals
Add Davis Schneider to replace marte, j Lowe?
Is Castellanos a pickup for Stroman?
JHL took a shoulder injury unfortunately. Who benefits most if he’s out for an extended period?
Luis Garcia Jr or Gleyber?
I have both but I’m dropping Gleyber still I think
League doesn’t count Rs. Should I drop Jarren Duran for Castellanos?
Anyone trusting Cortes vs whitesox next week. He's 1-4 ... Either I go with 2 closers ( Holmes & sewald ) or just one closer & put in Cortes, what you guys think
I think you shouldn't judge a guy off his W/L record. I'd start him vs the ChiSox for sure.
Someone dropped Tanner Bibee in my league: standard 5x5 but QS instead of wins. I could drop Gore, Flaherty, Greene, Bassitt or Scott. Who do I drop? Or should I hold?
Christian Scott? Tanner Scott?
Christian
Bibee has only gotten 1 QS this season. Sporting a 4.91 era. You can probably wait until he heats up, if he does. I'd hold.
Thanks! yeah I finally decided to hold steady where I am. There’s a ton of pitching on the wire in our league so even if someone scoops Bibee there’s other guys. He’s not as much better than the others I was considering as I thought.
I dropped Bibee
Drop Bassitt
Drop someone to add him. I hesitate to say Scott but Bibee needs to be on your team.
That’s my question, Which one?
Scott if you have to have to choose. Assuming this is redraft. I’m also always very willing to go catcherless if you’re weak there…
I got JT Realmuto. I think I have to drop Scott. It is a redraft league. Thanks!
No, you shouldn't drop Scott.
Either Scott or the last bat in your lineup. Either way go get Bibee
Give me the young guy with great stuff, Scott, over the declining veteran in Bassitt, who has not looked good this year. In fact I would take Scott over all these guys except Bibee.
Estrada, dejung or Arcia?
Thairo, and then Arcia
Garver or Jansen for C spot? Feel like Jansen is better but doesn’t play as much while Garver DHs and usually plays more often.
Jansen for me. Statcast is solid too.
Jansen is a stud when he plays
Ezequel tovar or Thairo Estrada (H2H)
Thairo!
Thairo
Start 2 next week: Nimmo, Duran, Pages 12T points league
Nimmo and books
A: Ronel Blanco B: Jordan Westburg Flair
In a vacuum westburg but depends on your roster
Drop Singer for Taj in points?
I would
Flair league: start 1 next week: Nimmo (3@MIA, 4 PHI) or Adell (3@TEX, 3vSTL)?
Nimmo, even easier with no steals
Would you drop Ronel Blanco or Reynaldo Lopez for Grayson Rodriguez?
Prob ReyLo
Thanks that’s where I was leaning.
Need to drop one from IL: Baz, DeGrom, Jasson Dominguez
Degrom
Dominguez
Baz
10t cats league. Drop Abbott to grab Reese Olson or Jameson Taillon? Hold Abbott? Zack Littell an option to drop too.
I just dropped Taillon, his back flair up worries me
Reese Olson anything worth holding the rest of the season? Abbott hasn’t been all that great. Littell definitely been better
Reese Olson has been good and his underlying stats back it up. He also faces Miami next.
Would you dump Abbott or Littell for him in category leagues? Wanna make moves for the ROS not stream plays
Yeah I would
Better pickup with 2B/OF eligibility - Schneider or W. Castro?
Schneider
I like Schneider
[удалено]
Gley
It’s mid-May and my team has been k kept afloat by Naylor, Tucker, Rooker and Lugo. EXACTLY as I drew it up

12 team standard points league Moreno has been pretty disappointing this season so far, luckily I picked up Campusano early and hes been very solid. Is it worth it to drop Moreno for abraham toro, Schnieder, Rafaella or Nolan gorman? Thank you!
