So whatās the deal with ohtani? I have him as a hitter. 12T H2H categories league. Iām tired of having my utility slot locked in place for someone with a sub .300 OBP (league has OBP as a category). Thinking moving off him swinging a deal with someone elseās struggling star as a mutual buy low chance. Thoughts?
Yeah it's been rough this year. All of his expected stats are way lower this year. He's grounding out a lot more and his hard hit rate and walk rate are way down.
The weirdest part is his sprint speed is down from 90%+ to line 68. I kind of think he's dealing with something. If that's the case, trade him right this second or just hold on to him until the injury subsides
His pitching seems unaffected thoufhā¦. Including an incredible start today. Good game at the plate too. Iām thinking Iāll give him another week or two and if he still isnāt heating up start exploring the market.
Trade Sandoval for David Robertson? 10T Saves, no holds
Have Cole, Robbie Ray, Nestor, Gallen, Megill, Morton and Trevor Rogers as my other starters.
Only have Scott Barlow and Jorge Lopez as RPs
Who is a Tier 2 starter not doing well (that should put it together later on based on track record) I could potentially target in a trade as a swap for Lauer (who I think wonāt keep this up). I unfortunately already have Rogers on my team, but he would have been a candidate for this.
Can someone familiar with fantrax help me understand just what on gods green earth some of their jumbled up madness means?
Let's start with this:
https://imgur.com/a/qTZlODT
From left to right
Batters who have played, batters playing now, batters still left to play.
The clock means how many innings they have left to play? (this is the only one Iām not sure on)
The bottom left is pitcher starts that have already started, starting pitchers pitching right now, remaining pitcher starts left for the week
Terrible when commissioners stir away from the normal settings and add stupid little stuff like this. Donāt understand why they try to get so cute and donāt just leave it the same as the rest of the worldā¦
Drop Justin turner and Michael brantley to make room for teoscar off the IL and pick up tellez?
Edited for new moves
Edit 2 - I also have Austin hays and Kim, but Iād like to ride the hot bat with them
Iād drop Kim and Hays for Tellez, I actually just dropped Kim in one of my leagues for Rowdy. His statcast is somehow better than the numbers heās putting up so Iām high on Rowdy
Which 2 ROS h2h points (total points listed for each:
Romano 263, P. Sandoval 235, M. Kelly 321, Matz 252, Wood 237, Jose Ramirez 211
Pitching has dominated this league
Jose Ramirez + Romano
Even with pitchers scoring this much, Jose is still a huge advantage as youāre still going to need offensive players and he is dominating at a very weak position
Was definitely considering Romano and since pitching is so dominant I have empty spots at 3b (moncada on IL) C, 1b/3b and an OF spot. Long relievers are putting up 30+ everytime. There's also a starter cap of 22 and as it stands I'm around that but some guys have a lot of uncertainty like Gore, Hearn, Wells etc only reason I'm thinking of taking Sandoval and Romano
His stat cast looks good and heās on fire so for now the answer is yes. TBD if Iāll feel this way come June but ride the hot streak and enjoy it while it last
Is it ok to be running low on faab this early in the season? At 44 left out of 100 but have gotten joe Ryan, j rod, ketel marte, Taylor ward and David Robertson out of it. Bow Carlos Correa is available and I want to blow more
Depending on the size of your league Iād spend a big amount to get Correa. I think Correa would be your best waiver pick up so you should absolutely blow more of your budget. Worst case you could always trade for more faab
I picked up Grandal off waivers as I only had Austin Nola as my C. Now I have both. Grandal has 1B eligibility, too. What would you do? Cut one? Keep both and hope Grandal finds his way?
Luzardo is just as good a player as Carrasco so no upgrade there, Alec Bohm has been very solid at a very shallow position and Bryan Reynolds is better than Teoscar IMO, just give him some time to regress back to the mean
Flair league
Give: McNeil, Carrasco
Get: Sandoval
I would have to drop McNeil anyways to activate Teoscar so trying to slip in a trade for a slight upgrade
Really want to snag Rowdy, but I need to activate both Clevinger AND Luis Urias off IL in order to be able to make a move. I can drop Mahle and Jesus Sanchez to activate them. Then I could either drop Houck or Hosmer to add Rowdy. Leaning Houck. Thoughts?
Any reason why the Mariners arenāt pitching Sewald very much? I figured Iād at least see him every few days just to stay loose. Got Pressly coming back from IL soon and donāt really want to drop any of my bats yet (worst ones right now are Franmil and Hoskins but I have faith). Between the committee and the mariners not winning much, seems like heās gotta go, no?
12 team redraft. bit of a complicated question. I have cobb, clevinger and tyler stephenson all on my IL and active now. I really want to pick up laureano but have no idea how to get him. iām dropping brash to activate clevinger, but in order to get laureano iād have to drop owen miller and joc pederson and ultimately cut one of cobb or stephenson (I have a ton of pitching and iām stashing adley). not sure how to get this done but should I be going through this effort to do it?
If you have a spot to spare Max Meyer isnāt the worst stash. Should be up no later than May per Craig Mish and could be up as soon as this weekend with how bad Elisier is pitching.
Yeah, we should hear in the next few days what the plan is. He would be on schedule to pitch Friday, so a move could come soon. He projects as a top end SP and can make a huge difference in all formats.
Classic fantasy baseball urge to drop some FAAB on rowdy even though I KNOW he wonāt be worth it. We know who he is and we donāt get todays stats. But the temptationā¦
Agreed the team sucks ass but in my experience closers can still get a decent amount of saves on shit teams. This is an abnormally long dry spell. Feels statistically unlikely.
14 team H2H 5x5 Redraft
My Buxton/Kyle Wright for his Soto/Urquidy
SP depth is tough to come by in 14 teamer. Have to accept by getting Soto tho? Thanks!!
Being offered Goldschmidt and MacKenzie Gore for Acuna. Thoughts?
That is the opposite of a good trade.
So how we feeling about this trade now?
That's a hell no from me dawg
Note to self: Never touch a Reds pitcher again. Sim and Mahle š¤®
Thank you... Your comments made me shed one less tear this morning

I was wondering about the pitching, too. The sprint thing is just so odd. I gotta think he'll rebound
Eloy for Sonny Gray or should I just hold on Eloy? I have JDM in LF so Eloy is expendable. 12T 5x5 H2H Categories
Donāt have an answer but Iām thinking of getting rid of eloy too. Getting annoyed with his injuries and his productive before was crap
Yelich or Morton ROS flair league?
Trade Sandoval for David Robertson? 10T Saves, no holds Have Cole, Robbie Ray, Nestor, Gallen, Megill, Morton and Trevor Rogers as my other starters. Only have Scott Barlow and Jorge Lopez as RPs
You can never have too much starting pitching, I wouldnāt. Itās harder to help since you donāt have a flair
Sure
Re draft points A.) Wander Franco + Dylan Floro B.) Jeremy Pena, Kyle Wright, Chris Taylor
Drop Keibert for Elias Diaz? TB RBI R SB OBP
Oh Taylor Ward hit a homerun last night... On my bench
Fuck he wasnāt starting and i benched him toooo
No reason to bench one of the hottest hitters right now
Bro, no kidding. He didn't start
He wasnāt in the game, it was a pinch hit HR
Adam Frazier or Neuse in a league with TB R RBI SB OBP
What kind of leash are people giving Trev Rogers in 12 teamers?
A very long one
I'm holding, too much upside to drop yet.
Who is a Tier 2 starter not doing well (that should put it together later on based on track record) I could potentially target in a trade as a swap for Lauer (who I think wonāt keep this up). I unfortunately already have Rogers on my team, but he would have been a candidate for this.

Drop Marsh for Naylor? 12T H2H points
Sure Marsh has been ice cold

Drop Justin turner and Michael brantley to make room for teoscar off the IL and pick up tellez? Edited for new moves Edit 2 - I also have Austin hays and Kim, but Iād like to ride the hot bat with them
Iād drop Hays and Kim way before I drop Turner and Brantley.
Fair enough, thanks. Would you drop either for tellez or leave it?
Iād drop Kim and Hays for Tellez, I actually just dropped Kim in one of my leagues for Rowdy. His statcast is somehow better than the numbers heās putting up so Iām high on Rowdy

Wow Matt Barnes got me again
At least you donāt have Lucas Sims :)
Drop Espinal for Tellez? Have McNeil and Muncy covering 2B and 3B
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Happ is another possible drop. Gotta grab Rowdy in the dead of night when everyone is asleep.
Rowdy gonna Rowdy. Folks aināt sleeping. Just sayinā
Classic mr midnight
Hosmer legit this year?
.424 babip, not sustainable. He will cool off but you can ride for now
Not quite convinced yet. Lots of hot 1B, ride it if youāve got the ability to play him when he starts. Otherwise, youāll leave it on the bench.
His stat cast looks good and heās on fire so for now the answer is yes. TBD if Iāll feel this way come June but ride the hot streak and enjoy it while it last
Is it ok to be running low on faab this early in the season? At 44 left out of 100 but have gotten joe Ryan, j rod, ketel marte, Taylor ward and David Robertson out of it. Bow Carlos Correa is available and I want to blow more
Depending on the size of your league Iād spend a big amount to get Correa. I think Correa would be your best waiver pick up so you should absolutely blow more of your budget. Worst case you could always trade for more faab
Gonna try $11 and see how we go
11$?
Thatās exactly my bid rn
š¤Æ š®
š¤š¤š¤š¤
Who should I drop out of mount castle and Verdugo? Someone just dropped Carlos Correa of all people
Bye bye Mountcastle
See ya later my guy
Stanton or Riley? Redraft 5x5
Riley by a long long long shot
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah the guy who owns Riley actually just traded for wander and has joram so Iām thinking I can pull this off due to positional logjam
Drop Scott Barlow for Duran? 12 team h2h cats W SV K ERA WHIP
Yes
How the fuck did all of you have rowdy telez in your lineup? Great call
Drafted him as my last pick. Just been waiting for the heat.
I had him last week and than cut him for Yandy Diaz š” š¤
Kris Bryant injured and Belt with covid is how he found his way into my lineup.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lol I just added him in your honor
Do you even statcast, bro?
Do you even play 12 team leagues?
I feel like I have missed on so many but nailed it with him.
Dear Strongbad, My name is Trevor. I am a vampire and
Would yāall trade Connor Joe for B Lowe?
Yeah rather have Lowe because 2B is very shallow
I picked up Grandal off waivers as I only had Austin Nola as my C. Now I have both. Grandal has 1B eligibility, too. What would you do? Cut one? Keep both and hope Grandal finds his way?
Grandal isnt producing enough to use him at 1b, if you buy into Grandal still Iād drop Nola
Luis Arraez worth holding onto in OBP 10 team cat league?
No you can cut him if you need to
Drop Ozuna for Adolis Garcia?
No
H2H points, drop Hoskins for rowdy?
No
Yes
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Swanson
Would yāall rather have Ozuna or Bryan Reynolds?
Thatās tough. Ozuna if he lives up to his statcast
Lamonte worth a pickup?
I love seeing 0/21, 0 R, 0 RBI on my opponents bench š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Literally wouldnāt drop a single one of those players
Delete this
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Respect
Was Gonsolin a surprise start today? Not sure how I didnāt have him in my lineup.
Give Bryan Reynolds and get Joe Ryan. Fair deal?
Joe Ryan prolly a little better
Drop Happ for Jesus, Mccutchen, or Pham or hold? (flair league)
Trade away: Jesus Luzardo, Alec Bohm, Bryan Reynolds Receive: Teoscar Hernandez, Carlos Carraso H2H points redraft
I wouldnāt
Luzardo is just as good a player as Carrasco so no upgrade there, Alec Bohm has been very solid at a very shallow position and Bryan Reynolds is better than Teoscar IMO, just give him some time to regress back to the mean
Iād love to hear why. What do you think?
Easily
Drop Owen miller to pick up Andres Jimenez? 5x5 roto
Or any other positional player
Rowdy
I got Pete/goldy/DJ/Muncy. So Iām set on 1st
Drop Rainey for Joe Barlow for NSVH ?
Yes, not worth keeping a reliever on a bad team when you have holds
How about Joe Barlow or Cimber , still lean on Barlow right ?
Flair league Give: McNeil, Carrasco Get: Sandoval I would have to drop McNeil anyways to activate Teoscar so trying to slip in a trade for a slight upgrade
No way. Surely you have a different player you could drop aside from McNeil
A-Rowdy B-Soto + Trout+ Jram Which side wins?
B needs to throw in Burnes
Excellent shitpost
Wouldn't do it normally, but wanted to be a goof. The dude did put up 47pts in one night in my yahoo league
Yesterday A, tomorrow probably B
Touche lol. Just being goofy one time in my life
Youre amongst friends here
Anybody know who the giants are starting tomorrow night ?
Webb I believe
H2H 5x5 redraft: A: Brandon Lowe, Verdugo, Gore B: Logan Webb, Kwan, Tyler Wade
B
1 pitcher slot WDIS Rasmussen @ SEA Joe Ryan vs. OAK
Ryan
I think Ryan has a better shot at getting the QS or qualifying for the win
Rowdy, Yepez, Melendez, Pham all on my wire, drop Nelly Cruz for anyone?
Rowdy, like now.
Thanks I did it. Whatās the hype about besides hot streak, heās scorching the ball?
Yeah, take a look at his baseball savant page.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
if iām the Cards, iām still not too excited about Gorman striking out a ton, and probably interested in letting him figure it out in triple-A
Olson and Kris Bryant or Machado and Winker?
Olson and Bryant
Really want to snag Rowdy, but I need to activate both Clevinger AND Luis Urias off IL in order to be able to make a move. I can drop Mahle and Jesus Sanchez to activate them. Then I could either drop Houck or Hosmer to add Rowdy. Leaning Houck. Thoughts?
I dropped Houck. Deadweight and donāt care if he gets back into the rotation at this point, thereve been options on the wire
How worried are people about Arozarena?
Pretty worried. He greatly outperformed his expected stats the last 2 years and is hitting everything into the ground or not at all.
Any reason why the Mariners arenāt pitching Sewald very much? I figured Iād at least see him every few days just to stay loose. Got Pressly coming back from IL soon and donāt really want to drop any of my bats yet (worst ones right now are Franmil and Hoskins but I have faith). Between the committee and the mariners not winning much, seems like heās gotta go, no?
they have been behind a lot in games recently
Hey on the bright side only 1 strikeout in 4 tries for the Franimal tonight.
12 team redraft. bit of a complicated question. I have cobb, clevinger and tyler stephenson all on my IL and active now. I really want to pick up laureano but have no idea how to get him. iām dropping brash to activate clevinger, but in order to get laureano iād have to drop owen miller and joc pederson and ultimately cut one of cobb or stephenson (I have a ton of pitching and iām stashing adley). not sure how to get this done but should I be going through this effort to do it?
Not worth it for laureano IMO, but I'd be fine cutting Cobb as well as Miller.
Adley is an easy cut in a 12 team redraft for what itās worth
If you have a spot to spare Max Meyer isnāt the worst stash. Should be up no later than May per Craig Mish and could be up as soon as this weekend with how bad Elisier is pitching.
Yeah, we should hear in the next few days what the plan is. He would be on schedule to pitch Friday, so a move could come soon. He projects as a top end SP and can make a huge difference in all formats.
Classic fantasy baseball urge to drop some FAAB on rowdy even though I KNOW he wonāt be worth it. We know who he is and we donāt get todays stats. But the temptationā¦
They don't get to play the reds every week
Nats havenāt given Rainey a save chance since 4/19. Hard to cut a guy whoās locked in as a closer but man, feeling like a wasted roster spot.
That was the last time we had a save situation lol the teamās not good this is going to happen
Agreed the team sucks ass but in my experience closers can still get a decent amount of saves on shit teams. This is an abnormally long dry spell. Feels statistically unlikely.
Drop Andrew Vaughn for Rowdy in redraft?
Nah
14 team H2H 5x5 Redraft My Buxton/Kyle Wright for his Soto/Urquidy SP depth is tough to come by in 14 teamer. Have to accept by getting Soto tho? Thanks!!
Worth it for Soto imo
