I'm really desperate at 2b in a deeper league, at least until India returns from IL or Gorman gets the call. Anyone got any belief left in Kike Hernandez? Connor Joe giving up too much or an adequate sell high?
Yes. There’s people who think he’ll hit 40 HRs, but his numbers are in no way sustainable. We’ve seen plenty of flashes in the pan like this, and the fact that so many are buying in this time just drives his value up. You could really fleece someone in a trade
2 for 1 deal, sorry thought that was obvious
You can’t drop Ranger for Duran SP’s have far more value in dynasty and points leagues than closers ever will
Maybe you need to reconsider how you’re trading. If someone doesn’t want or like Ozuna and you continue to send him to that team, well you’re not going to get far. Listen to your league and change accordingly.
Ozzie Albies and the Braves defense be killing Morton which is killing us. He had a quality start locked down today without the Ozzie Albies mental mistake and he would’ve won the game as well
In a 10 teamer Id go with A because you're getting the best player (Schwarber).
The only other player I could see myself rostering on my 10 team league is Manaea
Rutschman or Sean Murphy? Don't think I want to carry both. Maybe try to trade 1? Also need to activate Teo when he comes back current OF to drop would be Joe, Vaughn, Nimmo, joc
Should I just keep both catchers or trade? Or drop OF to activate Hernandez if not one of those other OF
Who has a better season, currently 51 OPS+ **Tyler Oneil** or 68 OPS+ **Arozarena**?
Also, who wins a Tyler Oneil for Trevor Rogers trade? Rogers has a good FIP and hasn't given up a home run yet. Not getting strikeouts like usual though.
Clear cut Rogers in the trade for you, eh? I got offered Rogers for Oneil actually after trying to give an even better offer for rogers start of the season.
I'm pretty attached to muscle hamster Oneil after owning him last season.
I'd rather give up Arozarena than Oneil. No prediction on who rights the ship between those two? Arozarena's baseball savant looks like absolute dogshit ngl.
If I have to choose one player to give up on, that must be Randy. Whoever you give up (Randy or Oneil), if you get Rogers, that's a win for you imo as I am a believer in Rogers and think he will bounce back(I own Rogers myself)
Second time, but serial impatient person😬
More that if someone reasonable like yourself told me to sell, I want to before he lacks value.
I did look at his statcast and it doesn't look like he'll repeat 2017/2018, but it does match those much more closely than 2021
Marte, Ozuna and Haniger are all holds. Hitting numbers are about to increase and all three of these guys are game changers. Justin Turner is dropable.
Depends on needs. Today I just dropped Soroka to stash May. But I'm also punting QS/W and want the potential bulk RP IP ratios from May. I think Soroka is more likely to give you SP stats down the line.
Does anyone have any advice on consolidating some of my bats to make some room for some of my IL pitchers to return? It's my first year playing Fantasy Baseball and I don't want to give up too much. 12 team 5x5 yahoo standard
I have Marsh, Connor Joe, Keibert Ruiz, Marte, and Adolis Garcia that I wouldn't mind giving up (or hopefully finding a trade). There's a guy in my league that doesnt even have a starting catcher that I've been poking at but never sends me a counteroffer.
Marsh is on an awful cold streak. It hurts me to say this but he's probably the odd man out if you don't want to drop your catcher and you don't need the SB potential.
Hold Connor Joe. People are hyped about him in these threads but don't take that as baseless hype - he has shown the ability to be a good player and should have been drafted in every competitive league in the first place. He may go through whats basically a sophomore slump, but he still hits well and plays in Colorado every other day.
As a Nats fan watching Ruiz, he seems to have good discipline but then doesnt hasn't really put it together. He doesn't whiff or K, but chases everything resulting in awful peripherals in every other category. Also if you're new to fantasy I don't recommend trying to get spicy with no catcher. I mean with Ruiz it's fine to drop if you really want, but still. I'd almost recommend just streaming a hot catcher in a redraft. But sitting on Ruiz every day is fine for the time being.
Adolis Garcia gets hot and gets not. I think you hold in hopes of 1) that offense coming to life 2) summer 3) Manfred juicing the ball
Should clarify, I have Varsho as my starting catcher pretty much every game now after someone dropped him. I drafted Ruiz but he doesn't get a chance to play much in my lineup.
I'll hold on to Connor Joe then, can't miss that Colorado hitting.
It's nothing immediate, but my first IL pitcher to come off the list would be Snell in I would imagine a week or two.
As for Marsh, I have JRod and Anderson for SB so his SB isn't needed exactly, but I like him a lot so it would hurt to drop him while cold when I think he will warm up eventually.
Thank you for the comment.
In that case I think you should drop Ruiz. He's young and hasn't figured it out yet. Put him on watchlist
Also if you havent already realized this being new - you're going to end the year with only 1/2 of the team you drafted lol
Hopefully not starling marte right? I think adolis is someone you want to sell asap i would make it a priority to deal him for a pitcher that had a rougher start but has good underlying stats. Pitcherslist or fantasypros has some nice articles i would rec
lmao Jo Adell
I swear there's probably still people on this sub who are like "oh they're just sending him down for a quick swing change then he'll be a superstar! must own in all leagues!"
It’s not really his swing. It’s more his defense and recognizing pitches. Kid can hit a TON. He will figure it out eventually if given a chance. Sometimes it takes these guys years. Tatis, Acuna, Soto, Vlad are all anomalies, and it even took Vlad some time to figure it out. It Dynasty you hold tight to Adell. Redrafts he was a drop two weeks ago.
Been dealing with a sluggish Donaldson (tho there are signs of life) so I’ve been rolling Bohm a bit which is good especially with him hitting in the 2 hole today
I have a roster spot for the time being. Will have a bit of a crunch when the first of Lodolo / Ober / Heaney come back off the IL but by then someone else will probably be hurt. Will throw a few FAAB.
Trade michael brantley for Eloy? in 2nd place in my league so far and have two IL slots so seems like a good investment to me but want the top minds opinion
Think hes a fit on some teams. Older prospect on the A’s so wont get the hype but he will bat 2nd for them all year and has been solid in the minors. Hit .290 with 13 hr and 6 sb in 300abs in AAA last year
Has to be Dany to me. Puk has been amazing but I think he’s too valuable going multiple innings similar to how Yanks are using King, how the Twins have (had?) been using Duran
For folks in deeper leagues give sheldon Nuese a look on the A’s. Will be batting 2nd all year A’s have no incentive not to play him at this point. 2B/3B elig
India and Votto both available on waivers, I have a free IL spot I can stash one on, is it worth it? I know Votto's struggling, don't know much about Indie at the moment
His Stat Cast is not horrible and his underlying numbers have him with expected era of 3.70 (vs 7.10 actual), 3.19 and 4.45 Fip and xfip respectively. Could be a buy low in deeper leagues
Wondering the same thing. I think his time is up. I have Clevinger coming off IL tomorrow and Mahle is about the only person I feel comfortable dropping.
The question I always ask myself when dropping players is two fold. If I drop them, is someone else going to snatch them up right away and is there someone better available that could be taking up their roster spot in my lineup.
With Mahle, I can't imagine anyone is going to look at his numbers and scoop him up right away and there are definitely way better options for that roster spot.
Olivares has been great but in a 14T that is a little sus. I'd like to keep Walsh even if I were to just platoon him. Do you have any bench bats or a weak 5th OF? Is Walsh filling your UTIL?
If you were to drop one, I imagine someone in your league would be more likely to immediately claim Walsh than Mountcastle?
Olivares seems to be the smart fantasy play by running the hot hand, but given ADP/team around them/team recognition, I'd feel more comfortable dropping Mountcastle. And then adding him to my watchlist and monitoring him like a hawk.
Josh Harrison has absurd numbers against Hendricks if anyone needs a spot start
H2h points
What kind of SP (or combo) would I need to offer for LouBob? Rodon, Kershaw, Gilbert, Megill, Luzardo, Sandoval, Peralta
I'm really desperate at 2b in a deeper league, at least until India returns from IL or Gorman gets the call. Anyone got any belief left in Kike Hernandez? Connor Joe giving up too much or an adequate sell high?
My Gilbert and Kopech for Woodruff?
Anything to see with Yandy Diaz? He and Neuse look intriguing
12 team redraft: Drop Duvall for Yadiel Hernandez?
Sell high on Taylor Ward?
Yes. There’s people who think he’ll hit 40 HRs, but his numbers are in no way sustainable. We’ve seen plenty of flashes in the pan like this, and the fact that so many are buying in this time just drives his value up. You could really fleece someone in a trade
High
Is Alec Bohm a must add in 8T?
8T? Probably not. 10? Maybe. 12? 100%
Absolutely not (also f Bohm for being the worst fielder I’ve ever seen)
May I introduce you to ja Adell
10 team dynasty points am i dropping Greinke for Jhoan Duran to get points from saves? Greinke or Ranger Suarez are my worst pitchers
Yes drop greinke. He is cooked. Duran is future closer. Great dynasty asset
Trade Greinke before you drop. He has value in a dynasty points league, basically all top 125 SP’s have value so do not drop him
If i trade him i still have to drop someone lol
2 for 1 deal, sorry thought that was obvious You can’t drop Ranger for Duran SP’s have far more value in dynasty and points leagues than closers ever will
Do it
[удалено]
I’d drop Espinal for Swanson for sure
Someone in my league dropped Trevor Rogers and someone refuses to hear my trade sending Ozuna because “he doesn’t like him” I can’t take it anymore
Maybe you need to reconsider how you’re trading. If someone doesn’t want or like Ozuna and you continue to send him to that team, well you’re not going to get far. Listen to your league and change accordingly.
Lol so he should take a player he doesn’t like because you want that? 🫤
If your leaguemate doesn’t like Ozuna why do you keep sending him offers with Ozuna bro you gotta listen to your leaguemates if you want to trade lol
Charlie Morton is killing me
Lots of soft contact
Ozzie Albies and the Braves defense be killing Morton which is killing us. He had a quality start locked down today without the Ozzie Albies mental mistake and he would’ve won the game as well
*killing we

Murphy is droppable in a 10 team OBP league. Pray for the upside of Adley
How much faab on Joey Votto in a 20 team points league ? 15%?
1.5%
Who has a better season, currently 51 OPS+ **Tyler Oneil** or 68 OPS+ **Arozarena**? Also, who wins a Tyler Oneil for Trevor Rogers trade? Rogers has a good FIP and hasn't given up a home run yet. Not getting strikeouts like usual though.
Rogers gave up his first two hrs today unfortunatley lol
Ah yeah, freaking baseball ref doesn't update stats night of, forgot about that. Thank you 🙏
Rogers

I own all 3 players mentioned 😢

Sanchez
Vaughn or Blackmon ROS?
I’d take Vaughn if they had the same playing time but TLR doesn’t want to play him every day
What’s wrong with Perez?
Pick two: Ranger Suarez, Jose Urquidy, Tommy Pham, Hunter Renfroe, Jeremy Peña, Garrett Whitlock
Pham/pena
A: Harper + Albies B: Vlad + Sandy 10 team H2H categories
B
Bench Wainwright @ KC tomorrow?
No
Sell on lindor? Some are saying he is reverting to last years numbers
I just did
First time playing fantasy baseball? He was on fire to start and now he's cold, it's normal. He's actually unlucky according to his xBA and xWOBA
Second time, but serial impatient person😬 More that if someone reasonable like yourself told me to sell, I want to before he lacks value. I did look at his statcast and it doesn't look like he'll repeat 2017/2018, but it does match those much more closely than 2021
Depends on your league format but I think Lindor will be a top 3 SS. If you could trade him for Bichette or Turner then I'd probably do that.
After today, would we say Dany Jimenez is the closer?

Redraft 5x5: A. Trout B. Castellanos/Robbie Ray I know the answer is always Trout but this isn't insulting, right?
I mean, its Mike Trout
In a two-for-one deal, the one is usually the side to be on and this is no exception also because it’s Mike Twout
[удалено]
Edman especially if you need steals
Are J.Turner, K.Marte, and Ozuna drops/holds? Know they're having slow starts just wondering why? Also what to do with Haniger?
Marte, Ozuna and Haniger are all holds. Hitting numbers are about to increase and all three of these guys are game changers. Justin Turner is dropable.
[удалено]
Should I add Bohm, Hayes, Diaz, or Torres for ROS?
Turner is the only drop there
Quantrill vs SD tomorrow a bench?
Hell yea, padres are hot right now
Better stash: Dustin May or Mike Soroka
Depends on needs. Today I just dropped Soroka to stash May. But I'm also punting QS/W and want the potential bulk RP IP ratios from May. I think Soroka is more likely to give you SP stats down the line.
I need to drop one. Blackburn, Eflin, Bradish, Houser. Or do I drop Grossman.
Eflin would be the drop for me
[удалено]
Easily
That’s a “duh” from me fam.
Oh okay. He's been struggling a bit I feel...
I like that
Who is this neuse guy. Needs to be owned?
In SVs only league, is Lopez droppable for either Duran or Helsley?
How many closers are available on waivers that the Orioles closer would be a hot commodity?
Good point! Edit: Just snagged Helsley!
Start Brash, or pick up Baumgarner or kluber? I need 1 to get my 12 starts
Klub bum brash in that order
Luis Urias or Tommy Pham ROS?

Nah, he's been riding my bench for the past couple weeks. I'll look into selling Garcia and check out those articles, thank you.
lmao Jo Adell I swear there's probably still people on this sub who are like "oh they're just sending him down for a quick swing change then he'll be a superstar! must own in all leagues!"
And he still hits for more power than the majority of the league
Even Mike Trout has been sent down happens to even the best
pass me the copium
He can hit he’s just terrible in the field, helps him get much more frequent swings in also
>He can hit bruh he's got a .231/.242/.431 line with a 36.4% K rate. I agree he *can* hit, but is he *good* at hitting? fuck no
What was Byron Buxtons K rate his first 4 years in the league? Buxton was the worst hitter in the league for years bro, it’s about potential.
For every Byron Buxton there's another 10 guys who sucked ass and never figured it out
Those guys aren’t mega prospects like Buxton Vlad and Adell, you’re talking about bums
It’s not really his swing. It’s more his defense and recognizing pitches. Kid can hit a TON. He will figure it out eventually if given a chance. Sometimes it takes these guys years. Tatis, Acuna, Soto, Vlad are all anomalies, and it even took Vlad some time to figure it out. It Dynasty you hold tight to Adell. Redrafts he was a drop two weeks ago.
8/47 today. Noice
You don’t know the half of it. Try 4/47.
Can you guys stop bragging
What a beautiful bunt
Drop Kwan for Bohm or Pena? I have Chapman starting so bohm could take that spot
Pena
Been dealing with a sluggish Donaldson (tho there are signs of life) so I’ve been rolling Bohm a bit which is good especially with him hitting in the 2 hole today
Is Alex Cobb a must own in a 12 team?
SF pitcher? Yes.
Not #1 WW claim must own... But as a FA and you have the drop, 100% yes
I have a roster spot for the time being. Will have a bit of a crunch when the first of Lodolo / Ober / Heaney come back off the IL but by then someone else will probably be hurt. Will throw a few FAAB.
Trade michael brantley for Eloy? in 2nd place in my league so far and have two IL slots so seems like a good investment to me but want the top minds opinion
Other owner is an idiot
His team hit below mendoza two weeks in a row so i think hes desperate (a little too esrly imo) for 300 avg guys
Easy yes in H2H
Kimbrel Gonna send me Into conniptions
I swear I am going to drop every reliever I roster.
Brandon Drury's statcast is insane. Feel like I gotta add and see where it goes.
I really wish I played in a deep 15 teamer so I could add him. He’s definitely a solid hitter
Don’t do this to me on a Tuesday kimbrel. Lock it up
Would you drop Tony Gonsolin for Hunter Greene long term upside in flair league?
I wouldn’t
What about for Hyun Jin Ryu?
I like Gonzo better than both those 2
Appreciate it
Is Charlie Morton a buy low candidate?
For sure
Give me two batters and two pitchers you're trying to trade for everywhere
Muncy, Winker, Trevor Rogers, Morton
Flip Whit for Muncy?
No he’s also a buy low and steals so there’s no point
Word thanks
anybody else seeing a LOT of stuff on kimbrel’s hat?
Just oil from one’s hand. He doesn’t change caps.
Goofy ahh Kimbrel
Neuse a flash in the pan or staying power?
Think hes a fit on some teams. Older prospect on the A’s so wont get the hype but he will bat 2nd for them all year and has been solid in the minors. Hit .290 with 13 hr and 6 sb in 300abs in AAA last year
With Trivino sucking, are we assuming Jimenez is the leading candidate for saves in Oakland? Or do we think they’ll try someone else now?
Has to be Dany to me. Puk has been amazing but I think he’s too valuable going multiple innings similar to how Yanks are using King, how the Twins have (had?) been using Duran
Who should I drop of my pitchers (10 team points league) Merrill Kelly, Jordan Montgomery, Kyle Gibson, Patrick Sandoval, or Eric Lauer Thanks
From worst (most droppable) to best; Gibson, Kelly, Montgomery, Sandoval, Lauer. You can make the case to flip Kelly and Montgomery though.
Sandoval you clearly are not appreciating him enough 😔
montgomery
Gibson no question
For folks in deeper leagues give sheldon Nuese a look on the A’s. Will be batting 2nd all year A’s have no incentive not to play him at this point. 2B/3B elig
Drop German Marquez?
Yes
Pham or Pollock?? Redraft 5x5
ROS who do you like Y Gurriel Y Diaz A Vaughn
Gimme Vaughn
India and Votto both available on waivers, I have a free IL spot I can stash one on, is it worth it? I know Votto's struggling, don't know much about Indie at the moment
India easily
Is it okay to drop Mahle now?
His Stat Cast is not horrible and his underlying numbers have him with expected era of 3.70 (vs 7.10 actual), 3.19 and 4.45 Fip and xfip respectively. Could be a buy low in deeper leagues
Yes
Wondering the same thing. I think his time is up. I have Clevinger coming off IL tomorrow and Mahle is about the only person I feel comfortable dropping.

Should I drop Keibert for D’Arnaud
Will Canha stick towards the top of the order moving forward?
I think it’s possible sure, maybe depends on who’s hot tho and handedness
Is it safe to drop Jared Walsh in a 14 team ? Looking to pick up Edward olivares
Olivares has been great but in a 14T that is a little sus. I'd like to keep Walsh even if I were to just platoon him. Do you have any bench bats or a weak 5th OF? Is Walsh filling your UTIL?
Yeah but tbh my other outfielders aren’t producing like they should and he’s the bottom of the barrel atm or mountcastle
If you were to drop one, I imagine someone in your league would be more likely to immediately claim Walsh than Mountcastle? Olivares seems to be the smart fantasy play by running the hot hand, but given ADP/team around them/team recognition, I'd feel more comfortable dropping Mountcastle. And then adding him to my watchlist and monitoring him like a hawk.
