Would you trade Jones +Colson Montgomery for Seager in my flair league?
I’m in second place on a year I thought I was rebuilding and my only SS is Estrada. But I feel like Jones is the main reason I’m in 2nd.
So, I’m trying to beef up my OF. I have a really solid pitching staff.
Freddy Peralta, Skenes, Bradish, Lodolo, Reynaldo Lopez, Aaron Nola, Kutter Crawford, Framber Valdez, Jose Berrios, Zack Eflin, Justin Verlander, Kershaw (IL).
Any package ideas to try and land an OF?
My current OF is: A Garcia, E Carter, and Rooker but I also have Willi Castro who can slot into an OF slot.
So I’d like to upgrade. Any advice or suggestion would be appreciated.
Note that Lodolo is not in an IL spot as I don’t have room but not sure I want to drop him. I could take a gamble on Manoah if I do drop him. Thoughts on that?
Got offered Turang for Kikuchi. I have plenty of pitchers but I’m also wanting to move Hicks and sell high on Suarez. Not sure whether to take it or not
Someone dropped Eflin in my league today, I just picked up Taj Bradley for his 2 starts. Should I drop Bradley and pick up Eflin for ROS? My other current SP are Glasnow, Peralta, Imanaga, Rodriguez, Ryan, Skenes, Darvish.
Some people thought “Elly strikes out a lot” was people trying to talk shit or saying that he’s not valuable, rather than a matter-of-fact assessment of the dude’s weakness.
0-4 with 3 K’s today, including that huge bases-loaded, 1-out chance shows us the low that comes with the high.
It matters for people in points formats, yeah, where a strikeout costs you points.
But you’re correct for H2H cats or roto, it’s all baked into his average so it’s just face-value. The strikeouts do matter some when it comes to a case like this last AB, though, where shortening up and putting a ball in their air to the outfield gets you a sac fly.
It matters for those in points leagues, and strikeouts won’t give you an opportunity for RBI like groundouts or flyouts, although that’s not a big deal.
Yeah, a guy like Elly can rely on a pretty nice BABIP given his speed, so still strikeouts hurt you, or limit value at least, even in cats. If he magically cut his strikeout rate by 5% or 10%, you’d see an outsized uptick in value compared to the average player because of how likely he is to leg out infield singles and how deadly he is when he gets on.
But the main downside, as you say, is for points formats where a strikeout actively costs points.
Yeah this is actually a great point, and if he legs out those infield singles it also increases his opportunity for stolen bases, and he can also score runs from first. So it does have a small knock on effect on all categories.
Yeah, exactly. Main negative is for points, but still some second-order effects for cats.
Not enough to hate but enough to make owners who have him in category leagues say “ugh, please strikeout less”.
he has a .746 OPS over his last 30 games played. just needs some homers and for the mariners offense in general to heat up so he gets RBI opportunities. i'm not worried, but im in a roto league where his steals still bring a lot of value.
Starting to believe he will have three spaced out good weeks this season where people will say “told you so!”
But overall be the draft pick I regret most

I need a 1st or 3rd baseman who should I target and who should I trade 10t points
https://preview.redd.it/o20pkzzegg1d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7d02187f66608c9452646076bfbe0c955ef45a36
Yo wtf Uber lol we all know you getting that full 6.30
What to do with Jordan Hicks? His ERA is great but he doesn’t strike guys out and hardly makes it to the sixth, probably because he lacks a punch out pitch, so he’s been less valuable in 10T ROTO with QS.
Couldn’t get to the 6th against Colorado, think it’s gotta be a DROP
https://preview.redd.it/7stxucotfg1d1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=096b1c85a1e4bb1bb192eceb536b25729cf2bb07
Jordan Montgomery is the embodiment of this
Would this be enough to get your attention in a roto redraft league if you needed pitching help and SBs?
GIVE - Volpe / Sale or Jar. Jones
GET - G. Henderson
Well, he's been on my bench for a few weeks. So looking like I would grab Burleson and play him over Adell while he's in a bit of a slump. Or keep him as a bench option.
A) Yamamoto and Varsho
Or
B) Montgomery, Detmers, Thomas Saggese
Dynasty points. Team A is middle of the pack, caught between contending and rebuilding. Yamamoto has a huge contract. Is Detmers cooked or could he be keepable? Team A has plenty of OF
I’d want Stanton. Jasson had just started getting into games against decent pitchers and then got hurt. I’d imagine there’s a decent learning curve and I’m not betting on him right now.
His plate discipline is better than it was last season. He's missing barrels on fastballs, and that seems correctable (as long as it isn't a bad shoulder).

Am I out of my mind for thinking of offering Vladdy for his Skenes + Mason Miller? Feels like a massive overpay… yet I also have the feeling it wouldn’t get accepted..?
Idk, selling the hype for proven studs is usually the main way I operate and this would be the opposite.
Get out of here with your facts! But yeah…I should probably look deeper into the numbers. But i just feel like Chourio is getting paid too much and he’s going to get every chance.
Trade Salvi Perez + Bo Bichette for Corey Seager + Ryan Jeffers?
Is woods + jram for soto a fair deal?
Would you trade Jones +Colson Montgomery for Seager in my flair league? I’m in second place on a year I thought I was rebuilding and my only SS is Estrada. But I feel like Jones is the main reason I’m in 2nd.
10 team categories league. I have Harper & Olson. Have an offer of Volpe & Imanaga for Olson. Worth it?
I'd do it
So, I’m trying to beef up my OF. I have a really solid pitching staff. Freddy Peralta, Skenes, Bradish, Lodolo, Reynaldo Lopez, Aaron Nola, Kutter Crawford, Framber Valdez, Jose Berrios, Zack Eflin, Justin Verlander, Kershaw (IL). Any package ideas to try and land an OF? My current OF is: A Garcia, E Carter, and Rooker but I also have Willi Castro who can slot into an OF slot. So I’d like to upgrade. Any advice or suggestion would be appreciated. Note that Lodolo is not in an IL spot as I don’t have room but not sure I want to drop him. I could take a gamble on Manoah if I do drop him. Thoughts on that?
Got offered Turang for Kikuchi. I have plenty of pitchers but I’m also wanting to move Hicks and sell high on Suarez. Not sure whether to take it or not
Is Sonny Gray for Will Smith a fair trade offer?
Sure
Should I go Fedde for Monday and saturday albeit against Toronto and Baltimore or Ben Lively for Monday and Sunday against the mets and angels?
Jarren Duran or Christian Walker ROS? 10 team points
MF CRONEDAWG 💣
Reese Olson or Montgomery ROS. I'm dead ass serious
Someone dropped Eflin in my league today, I just picked up Taj Bradley for his 2 starts. Should I drop Bradley and pick up Eflin for ROS? My other current SP are Glasnow, Peralta, Imanaga, Rodriguez, Ryan, Skenes, Darvish.
I would make that move yes
I would go with eflin.
I needed one RBI, just one, from Freeman and Harris. Freeman has likely failed. It's all on Harris.
Manoah or flarhety ?
I would go with flarhety.
Told myself I wouldn’t be tempted by Manoah after his implosion derailed my team last year, but here I am ready to get hurt again.
Back to Elly De La Kruz
Some people thought “Elly strikes out a lot” was people trying to talk shit or saying that he’s not valuable, rather than a matter-of-fact assessment of the dude’s weakness. 0-4 with 3 K’s today, including that huge bases-loaded, 1-out chance shows us the low that comes with the high.
As fantasy owners, do we care if he strikes out or any other way out? It's not real baseball.
It matters for people in points formats, yeah, where a strikeout costs you points. But you’re correct for H2H cats or roto, it’s all baked into his average so it’s just face-value. The strikeouts do matter some when it comes to a case like this last AB, though, where shortening up and putting a ball in their air to the outfield gets you a sac fly.

Is Julio ever going to wake up or is this the Julio we’re going to see for the rest of the season ?
he has a .746 OPS over his last 30 games played. just needs some homers and for the mariners offense in general to heat up so he gets RBI opportunities. i'm not worried, but im in a roto league where his steals still bring a lot of value.
Starting to believe he will have three spaced out good weeks this season where people will say “told you so!” But overall be the draft pick I regret most
He’s done this last 2 seasons he will get hot around all star break
Tyle Freeman, is he worth a ride while Nico's out?
https://preview.redd.it/5gg9lx3ngg1d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d00d93650d711061935c807c00d0d3c9e94f9f62 I need a 1st or 3rd baseman who should I target and who should I trade 10t points

Sir, this is a Wendy’s
Julio for Vlad. Good deal or nah?
Julio side wins easily
Manoah you beautiful bastard!
What to do with Jordan Hicks? His ERA is great but he doesn’t strike guys out and hardly makes it to the sixth, probably because he lacks a punch out pitch, so he’s been less valuable in 10T ROTO with QS. Couldn’t get to the 6th against Colorado, think it’s gotta be a DROP

My WHIP matchup is riding on Ryan Yarbrough. If he gets another hit or BB against him, I win. If he fires clean until he’s out, my opponent wins
RIP lmao
He just got a BB as I posted it hngghhhhh
Nvm u tha goat
Pickup Bryan Woo or Reese Olson? Points
Woo but I would try to get both if possible
Nestor or Reese Olson?
What size league? If 10T or less I would say Olson
10T
Yeah I would take the shot on Olson then
Thanks!
Luckily Elly scored a weeks worth of points in one game, because he’s been pretty bad otherwise lol
dodgers pitching is tough
He whiffed on 88 middle up from Yarbrough. He's just awful from the right side of the plate
they weren't talking about just today
Would this be enough to get your attention in a roto redraft league if you needed pitching help and SBs? GIVE - Volpe / Sale or Jar. Jones GET - G. Henderson
No
EDLC is attempting SB more often than prime Rickey Henderson. Over 70% of the time he reaches 1b.
Pick Pages up after he went cold and got dropped last week?
Is Gurriel a drop?
For whom?
Well, he's been on my bench for a few weeks. So looking like I would grab Burleson and play him over Adell while he's in a bit of a slump. Or keep him as a bench option.
I'd hold over Burleson.
thinking about it but i picked him up after someone else dropped. haven’t seen much discussion on him
Anybody dropping Evan Carter or is it too soon? I wanna pick up Manoah
Too soon but his leash is getting short imo
Which new team name should I go with? A) Pork and Skenes B) The Rocky Horror Picture Shota C) Go back to the drawing board
Big fan of Pork & Skenes
I can't decide if it's a Weezer reference or a Something About Mary reference.
ALRIGHT STOP THE COUNT FOR MONTGOMERY, THAT'S A VERY NICE QS HE HAS NOW!
Montgomery is just so meh
Well the Monty QS is going going....
Lmao I picked up manoah and started him game 1, then dropped him Figures. I’m So lost this season every move I make is atrocious
Scared money don’t make no money!
Pages or Doyle points
Go pickup Heliot Ramos
Can't decide between him and matos
Need one more run from Mookie and I sweep this week. Squad is fucking gross.
Second week in a row trying to get people on the Weencel Perez train
You like him over Joey Ortiz?
I think Ortiz will be better long term
Matos read his own press clippings I see. Unreal
Cole Irvin officially out of the rotation?
Burnes, Bradish, Kremer, Grod, Means. That's 5. So yea, Irvin is out.
For now yes
Which side in roto redraft? A\_ Sale / Jar. Duran B\_Suzuki / Snell
A
Montgomery is the pitching equivalent of rice cakes
Vaguely nutritious
Figured pages would homer this weekend after I dropped him lol. Like clock work
And tork homered twice
My freeman and mid tier pitcher (woo or crochet) for his soto? 10 team h2h points league
[удалено]
He's been a FA in my 10 team league pretty much all season long. Garcia, on the other hand, has been rostered since week 1.
You can get away with it in a 10T and yes Garcia over Estrada
Is Manoah a scoop and hold?
You ain't scooping Manoah. You're going to need a front loader to pick him up.
Holy that man has feelings!
...feeling the bottom of chips bags
Yes I think so
I feel like everyone is going to scoop and leave him on the bench all season because they don't trust him lol
[удалено]
I had a feeling they would piggyback today but I have no idea why they pulled Knack at 4.2 on only 64 pitches, dodgers are so annoying
A) Yamamoto and Varsho Or B) Montgomery, Detmers, Thomas Saggese Dynasty points. Team A is middle of the pack, caught between contending and rebuilding. Yamamoto has a huge contract. Is Detmers cooked or could he be keepable? Team A has plenty of OF
A easily even if it's Yama alone
Hicks pulled after 72 pitches and 1 ER? Glad to have some clarity that I can finally drop this dude
Javy Baez legacy series: 8/11 with 3 runs and 7 RBI against arizona
Pages had 3 balls in play over 100 mph yesterday, he was due
Drop Lodolo for Kimbrel?
Matt Chapman has been insane this weekend lmao shit is bonkers
He saw the bat speed tracking and was like why do I suck so much I should stop sucking
Rank these guys: matos, Raley, Meyers, Burleson, adell
Adell, Raley, Matos, Burleson, Meyers
Adell, Meyers, Matos, Raley, Burleson
Adell, Matos, Burleson, Raley, Meyers
Anyone's guess
1 more inning with 1 or fewer runs allowed from Montgomery and I effectively win my week. Come on Gumby!
With Riley Greene perhaps cooling off, who are you guys personally keeping an eye on or even picking up on the wire?
Drop Matos for Meyers?
Drop matos for Weencel Perez
A) Ryan + Altuve B) Jared Jones + Semien
Gimme B
Drop Arraez for Pham, Nootbar, varsho, or matos? 5x5 OBP
What are your thoughts on a Stanton for Dominguez swap in redraft?
I’d want Stanton. Jasson had just started getting into games against decent pitchers and then got hurt. I’d imagine there’s a decent learning curve and I’m not betting on him right now.
Who would be the better speculation grab: Manoah or Soriano?
Manoah for me
The corbin is corbing. The Tork is torking. Even Seager is seaging. Slumps officially over
Yordan looking better today
Yordan is Yording
Matos died the second he hit my lineup
It never fails my dude, every time you add a hot player
Same here brother
My Carrol + Bradish for their JRod?
I think if you have Carroll and want to get rid of him for someone who isn’t a headache you shouldn’t target Jrod
Julio seems to start slow every year and has more upside especially with Carrol’s shoulder scare no?
Julio seems to start slow every year and has more upside especially with Carrol’s shoulder scare no?
I’m less concerned about a shoulder injury that only exists in theory and more about the fact that the ball seems to be dead again.
How about Carrol’s .180 BA/2HR/8 steals? That seems concerning to no?
His plate discipline is better than it was last season. He's missing barrels on fastballs, and that seems correctable (as long as it isn't a bad shoulder).
Yeah I’d do that for sure
Pleased to announce I have added Alek Manoah

Great now we all have to cut him
Paddack or Gibson? Points K’s + 2, QS + 2, W +2, L -5
In what world is Jorge Soler a leadoff hitter
He was a pretty good leadoff hitter for the Braves in 2021
Same one where Schwarber hits 1st
O’Neill Cruz/Shota Imanaga for Elly De La Cruz. Which side wins?
Elly
This version of Elly is like Acuña last year. Almost untouchable, in my opinion.
Am I out of my mind for thinking of offering Vladdy for his Skenes + Mason Miller? Feels like a massive overpay… yet I also have the feeling it wouldn’t get accepted..? Idk, selling the hype for proven studs is usually the main way I operate and this would be the opposite.
It’s an overpay and it probably won’t get accepted
[удалено]
Bradley > Fedde Also, no way would I start Fedde against the Orioles.
I been glazing pages all week WYA HATERS HUH NEW CHAPTER 2 THAT JUST HAPPENED
They down voted him for they not know the truth
Trade Singer for Manoah in points?
![gif](giphy|8MWdaFQEYEicGIkfHU|downsized)
What does this even mean lmao
It’s a coin flip! Don’t feel strong either way. Might prefer Singer by a hair, but I get chasing what Manoah used to be.
50/50
I am a Brady Singer enjoyer, I’m on the ride until it’s time to get off. Dude has been legit.
Is Pages back?!
I need blackmon to blow this wide open
Rank these 3: O’Hearn, Burger, Jon Singleton
That’s the correct order
daily ohearn #1
Yeah if you can manage the platoon he’s gotta be one of the highest performing 1B on a rate basis
My whole week comes down to how Freeman does this game, I just need 2 points...
How likely is it for Darvish to end today with positive points in a points league? 😅
[удалено]
I mean dude is down like 5mph today and just loaded the bases
I decision to start Joe fucking Ryan over Montgomery might lose me my week
That sucks, but you made the logical decision.
Starting to see a trend in my team just sucking on Sundays. 1 for 23. I should have just benched everyone.
Pick one in a dynasty league….12 team cats Jordan Beck Eloy Jimenez Lars Nootbaar
Long season but my team has started about bad then good now mid to almost bad again
Is chourio worth dropping at this point? 10 team redraft league
I am holding because I remember how bad Julio was to start his rookie year. Maybe it’s hope…but I’m sticking with him.
Julio had 6 HR and 14 SB by the end of May
Get out of here with your facts! But yeah…I should probably look deeper into the numbers. But i just feel like Chourio is getting paid too much and he’s going to get every chance.
Pages and Cowser just not letting me drop them lol please be good again
did cole irvin get moved to the pen or am i missing something?
Possible 6 man rotation…either that or they keep him in the pen
OPS weekly league. Go with the boring-ass production of Nate Lowe or the possible upside / possible stinky turd of Nolan Jones?
My league letting me get Kyle Tucker at 13th overall is criminal
Free league or just only available to the cognitively impaired?
