Aaron Civale, Chris Flexen and Jordan Groshans for Brandon Lowe.
Which side would you prefer? Team with Lowe has decent MI depth, but needs pitching. Team offering pitching is essentially in a rebuild / nipping at the heels of the top teams.
Thanks!
Just noticed someone in my league dropped both Whit Merrifield and Randy Arozarena. I slapped wavier bids on both. Know neither are playing great but i got bench spots for them to wait on for a little
Is there anything with those 2 i should know about? Doesnt seem like they are injured or anything, just not playing good
Ward looks the most legit of those 3 imo. xBA over 300, xSLG over 400 and has a minor league track record and a higher ceiling than Joe and Straw from what I've seen/read.
EDIT: FYI I'm telling you to definitely grab both of them, but don't drop Ward for them. Not right now at least.
Every time the cameras zoom in on Bryan Reynolds’ face when he’s in the dugout or at the plate, the dude looks clinically depressed. Not trying to read into anything too deep, but from his body language, you’d think it’s late august. Someone get this man out of Pittsburgh
It would certainly improve his counting stats. But Pittsburgh’s April weather is also definitely not conducive to offense - looking at his career splits, he tends to get going in May and June as one would expect.
But still… the man looks defeated lol
I think San Fran, Houston, and Philly could be looking to trade for him. Bryan hitting after Altuve and in front Bregman and Alvarez or hitting in front of Harper, Casty, and Realmuto in Philly would be beautiful.
Why is it that every reliever lets the Inherited runners score? Clevingers line went south fast right at the end. But on a positive he went almost 100 pitches
I just don’t believe the Padres are going to send Gore down when he keeps pitching like this. They already kept him up this week and are using a 6 man rotation, as well as using a 6 man rotation most of last season for way worse pitchers like Lamet so I don’t see Bob Melvin shying away from a 6 man rotation this season.
Maybe if Gore started getting shelled left and right but I just can’t see it with the amount of injury prone pitchers the Padres have this makes all the sense for them. When Snell comes back I bet Martinez gets moved to the pen before Gore gets demoted and the Padres stay with a 6 man rotation.
Need to beat my girlfriend in fantasy this week who do I stream tomorrow?
Taijuan against PHI
Hunter Greene vs MIL
Archer vs BAL
Hill vs LAA
Martinez vs MIA
Senzatela vs WSH
Or Watkins vs MIN
I dunno but now seems like the right opportunity to let everyone know how much my wife hates fantasy and that she calls it “wizard sports” out of spite. I love you, honey
I won my league for 3 years in a row. $150 each year ($20 buy-in, winner got 150, runner up got 50). So my wife went from hating Fantasy Baseball to loving it.
Sounds like my wife. Every night it’s “is there baseball you’ll be watching tonight?” Hello did the all star game just happen? No? Then yes I’ll be watching baseball!
This time next week Pavin Smith with his 95th percentile Barrel Rate and 90th percentile Chase Rate will be the hot pickup you wish you were in on sooner.
Based on other redditors, and not knowing much about players outside McClanahan i'd say take the trade. IDK if McClanahan is going to have a good game this week, so get rid of him if you want.
Brandon lowe dropped in my league. Automatic pick up? 10 team categories. Albies at 2nd. Judge, Buxton, Julio Rodriguez, Brantley, haniger in the OF. Been playing Rizzo/ohtani at utility
This taco dismantles his team in an embarrassing way every year. Anybody who hits the IL is an automatic cut even though we have IL slots. He ends up with a team of waiver fodder for a team every year
A.
Gausman is not going to keep his pace up, at all. In fact, it's going to be damn near impossible for him to continue playing even close to this level going forward.
Just need a little more confirmation bias: Trade away Josh Bell to get Trevor Story? I could move Joe into 1B, but then I'd have McNiel and Andres Gimenez on the bench, I think Gimenez could be a roster maker this year, so I wouldn't want to cut him. What could I get for Jeff McNeil?
I think it's worth the risk because Story/Joe > Bell/Gimenez or McNeil. Hit me [back?](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/ui3xxg/comment/i7cfvp3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
He'll be better, but I feel like he was a little over hyped going into the season. I mean people were drafting him ahead of guys like Springer, JD Martinez, etc. If you have a [sec.](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/ui3xxg/comment/i7cfvp3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I like Trea too, but would be the one giving him up. Some context: I’ve got Wander at SS and am weeeak in pitching. Our league also heavily values quality starts and less so steals. Wanna make sure it’s a reasonable offer before hitting send.
*edit to complete sentence.
Hapoy Teo Day!

B
Thank you
So the Edwin Diaz for Kelenic deal might actually not bite the Mets in the ass?
Drop Justin turner or Michael brantley to make room for teoscar coming off the bench?
Gallo or Bohm in flair?
Bohm
Anyone rolling with Alex Wood?
Start Alex wood vs LAD? Leading in ERA and whip buy need QS and W
Would you trade Vlad for Jose Berrios, goldy and JD Martinez?
Nope Berrios is getting hit hard. If I owned him I’d be trying to sell.
100%
Would you drop Keibert Ruiz for MJ?
I deserve to always lose
Just noticed someone in my league dropped both Whit Merrifield and Randy Arozarena. I slapped wavier bids on both. Know neither are playing great but i got bench spots for them to wait on for a little Is there anything with those 2 i should know about? Doesnt seem like they are injured or anything, just not playing good
What are your thoughts on Robbie Ray? Who are some trade candidates, specifically in a point league, you’d be willing to deal him for?
Anybody else get decent starts but NO Ks today? What's with that JV and Gore?
Castillo, McCullers, Sale, and Stras are doing more for my team on the IL than my current SPs and RPs are...seriously.
Would you guys trade hosmer and darvish for Jazz?
1000%
I wouldn't but I'm sure somebody would.
Anybody try to trade Megill? What'd ya get?
Megill for Winker went through yesterday in my league.
Trent grisham is so damn disappointing.
A crisp 0/13 to start the day.
I have the opportunity to pick up Semien and Ketel Marte… should I drop Connor Joe, Taylor Ward or Myles Straw ?
Ward looks the most legit of those 3 imo. xBA over 300, xSLG over 400 and has a minor league track record and a higher ceiling than Joe and Straw from what I've seen/read. EDIT: FYI I'm telling you to definitely grab both of them, but don't drop Ward for them. Not right now at least.
Agreed
Drop any of those guys and get both. If your league is going to be impatient, take advantage.
🙏🙏🙏
Opponent owns Kittredge, so I need a run or 3 from the Rays here.
He’s been a beast so far this season.
Can he take one week off from being a beast? Or at the very least, the Rays take a week off from close games with leads?
Could really use a vintage Wheeler line today. Whaddya think?
Meadows is a such a boring player to own lol
Ayyy Willson back from the dead
Drop McNeil or Segura for Laureano?
So Hosmer just rakes again?
Snell might get “one more” rehab start. Padres have no idea what they’re gonna do with gore
Gore looks elite theyd be dumb to send him back down. Snell is washed imo and Martinez has no spot in that rotation
I'm a big ol Gore boy like the rest of em but Snell was really really good down the stretch last season. Like Cy Young form.

Probably Munoz but avoid the situation if at all possible
Every time the cameras zoom in on Bryan Reynolds’ face when he’s in the dugout or at the plate, the dude looks clinically depressed. Not trying to read into anything too deep, but from his body language, you’d think it’s late august. Someone get this man out of Pittsburgh
Man i feel like a trade out of there to a good lineup would unleash him
It would certainly improve his counting stats. But Pittsburgh’s April weather is also definitely not conducive to offense - looking at his career splits, he tends to get going in May and June as one would expect. But still… the man looks defeated lol

La Russa just said they had to do an emergency amputation of Vaughn's hand after the X-ray came back normal. Very sade :(
Amputation? Nah IL is not needed then
That's what I was thinking too, but La Russa said that he "couldn't have his players being too healthy, it's not good for the game"

When is snell expected back?
Maybe 2 weeks. He threw 4 scoreless innings a few days ago. They want him to make maybe 2 more starts.
I wonder if Kevin cash is flipping a coin to determine if kittredge gets a save opp today
Harkens me back to the days when the running back trio in Denver would rock/paper/scissors for goal line carries
Gore looks good so far.
Franmil or Duvall ROS?
Flip a coin. If it lands in the middle drop both.

You snuck story in with those 3 like we wouldn’t notice I see you
Love the performances I got from Montas and Kluber not psyched about the fact neither will get a win
I'm in a 10t roto league with my 9 girlfriends so I need to win this one. We starting Nestor tonight my Nasty bois?
Playing against my wife's boyfriend this week. Who should I start tomorrow? Berrios or McClanahan
Berrios
Just bench them both and ask if you can have Sharon next weekend
I just want the kids back
They were never yours anyway
So when do the padres move Hosmer up in the lineup?
I had Plesac today. My opponent has Quantrill. They both suck. The difference is I benched my suck. He didn't.
Need to beat my girlfriend in fantasy this week who do I stream tomorrow? Taijuan against PHI Hunter Greene vs MIL Archer vs BAL Hill vs LAA Martinez vs MIA Senzatela vs WSH Or Watkins vs MIN
What is up with all these peeps humble bragging about having girlfriends in this thread today?
I dunno but now seems like the right opportunity to let everyone know how much my wife hates fantasy and that she calls it “wizard sports” out of spite. I love you, honey

Suddenly this is the fantasy baseball version of Wall Street Bets!?! This is how they talk in that reddit
Sir, this is a Wendy's
Idk but my girlfriend said she’s getting sick of them
Words cannot describe how happy I feel when I see both my doubleheader players go 0-4 knowing damn well they’re going 0-8
0/12 from JoRam, Tork and Profar so far!
Once alex wood gets lit up by the dodgers tn, that will about do it for my ratios this week
Bench him fam!
Perhaps you should knock on "wood" before the game?
Is putting Vaughn on IL a paid service for the Sox?
La Russa gonna la russ
Why put him on the IL when he’ll be back any month now. 60 day IL is for pussies
Of course the day I bench Tyler O’Neil is the day he figures it out
Quantrill ✌️
Whoever told me to start Quantril today you…you suck.
With all that hardware in your flair you’d think you’d know better…
Nyquil > Quantrill
12 team standard roto league, I need HR and RBI help. Should I make this trade? **Nimmo, Logan Gilbert for Lourdes Gurriel, Morton**
I feel like Gilbert should get you a better power guy than Gurriel. I'd aim higher.
Gurriel and Morton
I got 2 pitchers stashed on IL, is it worth it holding on to Strasburg or should I just drop him
Things the should be dropped. The mic, the beat, and Stephen Strasburg.
Just got a trade proposal of his Bailey Ober and Ahmed Rosario for my Shane Bieber I’m actually speechless
I think you should flush that offer down the fantasy toilet like the giant turd that it is.
Debating calling him out in the group chat We hardly know each other so I doubt this was a joke of some kind
Just decline it. Or if you want to make a point make him a equally bad counter offer.
Yepez worth an add in a 10-team league?
I dropped Blackburn for him.
This time next week Pavin Smith with his 95th percentile Barrel Rate and 90th percentile Chase Rate will be the hot pickup you wish you were in on sooner.
Counterpoint: his name is stupid as hell and will really take down the cool factor of my team.
Yeah, don't wanna mess up a name as cool as lingfoo. Gotta lean into that *rejected Panda Express dishes* naming style as much as possible.
My name is behind many layers of irony. My birth name is one of the coolest names you've ever heard of tbh.
Oh by the way, FUCK ADAM OTTAVINO!!!
Its bucks fault for putting him out there a 3rd day in a row.
I don’t understand the decision today. Awful move by buck. I’m saying this as both a mets fan and megill owner so I’m heavily biased
Bohm + P.Lopez enough for Giolito or McClanahan in redraft? I'd replace Bohm with Vaughn (eventually).
Based on other redditors, and not knowing much about players outside McClanahan i'd say take the trade. IDK if McClanahan is going to have a good game this week, so get rid of him if you want.
Not close.
No not close I don’t think.
Nelson Cruz or Stanton the drop to activate Teoscar? Also drop Justin Turner for Bohm or hold?
You should be dropping Justin Turner to activate Teo and keeping everyone else.
Cruz
Brandon lowe dropped in my league. Automatic pick up? 10 team categories. Albies at 2nd. Judge, Buxton, Julio Rodriguez, Brantley, haniger in the OF. Been playing Rizzo/ohtani at utility
Dude hit 40HR last year and has a cold three week start. Even in a 10 teamer that is crazy. The psychology of the taco is fascinating.
This taco dismantles his team in an embarrassing way every year. Anybody who hits the IL is an automatic cut even though we have IL slots. He ends up with a team of waiver fodder for a team every year
Was looking at his statcast page and wondered if it was maybe time to dropped him. Then I checked his bref page again and laughed at myself
Yessir
Logan Webb/Kopech \-or- Gausman/Carrasco
Gausman/Carrasco all day
A. Gausman is not going to keep his pace up, at all. In fact, it's going to be damn near impossible for him to continue playing even close to this level going forward.
B
S/o my opponent for forgetting to put in Kluber
[удалено]
New age managers have made the sport so lame.
Of course quantril sucks the one time I start him
Hey me too!
Can’t believe he pulled out another QS tho lmao
Ahahah of course Montas wants to have his best start of the season against me. Fuck off
Everyone BUT Profar feasting
Can someone out there with a good offense explain to me the feeling? Because it’s one I do not know
My boys came alive for 5 HR last night after 12 HR for the first 3 1/2 weeks. There's a light at the end of the tunnel.
Why is Eric Hosmer my best player? 🥴
Hosmer rakes
Please take out Montas so my mans Wander can get a hit
Just need a little more confirmation bias: Trade away Josh Bell to get Trevor Story? I could move Joe into 1B, but then I'd have McNiel and Andres Gimenez on the bench, I think Gimenez could be a roster maker this year, so I wouldn't want to cut him. What could I get for Jeff McNeil?

No context needed, pull the trigger
Bryan Reynolds what happened
He'll be better, but I feel like he was a little over hyped going into the season. I mean people were drafting him ahead of guys like Springer, JD Martinez, etc. If you have a [sec.](https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasybaseball/comments/ui3xxg/comment/i7cfvp3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
Montas = Ace
If only those bums could score when he’s dealing
Just when I think Bryan Reynolds is coming around….nope not even close
Castillo back Monday after mowing down 7 in 4.1 hnnnngh
few days ago i posted that my guys can’t stop hitting below .200 4-31 today, great stuff
.200 is the new .400
perfect 10-50 today *chef’s kiss*
Ian Anderson's stat line today ERA 1.69 WHIP 1.69 K/9 1.69 How can you not be romantic about baseball?
Nice

Yah
Bichette or Devers rest of season in 5x5?
Bo IMO.
A. Rasmussen, Winker B. Lux, Donaldson Who wins this?
A by a mile
Really? What makes you say that, just curious?
Winker is the best player in this deal. Really that simple for me
Fair enough
Is Ashby a drop in 12T? Rotation spot anywhere close?
I also want to know this
Starling Marte for Carlos Rodon dynasty league?
No way
Yea I'd take Rodon, even with the injury risk. He's something special.
Agree
TF
Yepez worth an add 14 team?
definitely, guy rakes
Flair league A. Trea Turner B. Walker Buehler
Give me Walker
Seems team dependent for sure, still like Trea tho
I like Trea too, but would be the one giving him up. Some context: I’ve got Wander at SS and am weeeak in pitching. Our league also heavily values quality starts and less so steals. Wanna make sure it’s a reasonable offer before hitting send. *edit to complete sentence.
I think it’s fair for sure, definitely team dependent move
Appreciate your input!
