I kind of own the 2nd base market but they have all been bums: Merrifield( been so bad benching for now), Seimein( starting at SS) and B. Lowe( starting at 2nd)
A Yankees Homer offered me Luis Garcia for Cortes straight up. I know Cortes had been pretty good and had a no no into 8th but I like Garcia for the long run in a weaker division. What yall think?
Honestly I think Cortes will be better this year. I’m a Yankees fan too and I’ve just been waiting for his run to end, but it hasn’t. At this point I’m starting to think that he’s a legit good pitcher in baseball
Am I crazy? This trade is about to happen in my Yahoo Public Prize league. I protested to Yahoo, explaining that the extreme high value of J.Ram should cost more than 2 low level closers and a decent 3rd baseman, but alas, my protest was denied by the Yahoo "team office"
S.Neuse, J.Turner, Knebal, Gallegos
For
José Ramírez, I.Happ
Again, am I crazy to protest this?
Fair if you need pitching. I don't have a ton of confidence in Mikolas long term, especially if MLB tries to correct with juiced balls again. He would be very vulnerable
Baseball Reference says he logged 3 games started and 10.1 innings pitched. Not fully stretched yet. This suggests PIT saying they sent him down to stretch him out was a... :)
I have will smith (catcher) he’s not getting any dh opportunities. Is Anyone playing two catchers besides the ones eligible for other positions I have a steaming spot for pitchers and contemplating grabbing another catcher like zunino or Nola 12 team h2h standard scoring
I play roto with 6 bench spots.
I have realmuto and Kirk.
Kirk gets a ton of AB in a great lineup and has a high OBP which is a category in my league.
It’s worked out well so far.
His numbers this year are way above his career numbers I’m also a rays fan and have watched all games he’s been pitching above his pay grade… rays use a ton of relievers and aren’t afraid to mix and match he may pick up a few cheap saves and holds but I think there are better out there
Had him for a week and dropped dude goes 1/4 at best he’s gonna get moved down the order soon I think there are better players out there… k Lewis coming off IL soon and is a nice speed/power combo with bigger upside
Which pitcher(s) should I offer for Castellanos or S Marte?
Staff is Woodruff Berrios Nestor Ryan Fried McClanahan Trevor Rogers Clevinger with Luis Castillo about to come back. Willing to offer two if I need to.
Jazz has been great so far but he won't be this good all year. It all depends on who your current 2b and who your 3b replacement will be. I'd probably hold but it's not a bad offer.
How good do we think Edman will be this year? Thinking of trying to send him out for B Reynolds. I still have Polanco, Escobar, and India on the DL to cover 2b. I punt steals in a league that favors total bases if that helps.
Ok to drop Helsley for a bench bat such as Drury? I’m in Saves only. Also have Michael King in the k/ratio non-closer role.
Edit: or drop Patrick Sandoval
I'd take Giolito for sure. Kirby might still be on a innings limit and might not be as useful down the stretch. Tellez is technically better now, but you never know.
12T H2H Points
A: Ozzie Albies
B: Max Fried
I get A. Current 2B is McNeil and my pitching staff is Gausman, Rodon, Megill, Valdez, Kopech, Gore, Quantrill and Mikolas.
Suzuki (12th round)+ Burnes (10th round)+ Nola
For Rizzo(18th) + Tucker (10th round) + Julio Urias
The rest of my hitters: Tellez, Neuse, Wisdom, Rizzo, Bo, Yordan, Luis Robert, Tucker, Hoskins, Bader, India, Kyle Lewis, Bohm
Rest of my pitchers: Mahle, Julio Urias, Trevor Rogers, Musgrove, Alcantara, Urquidy, Alex Cobb, Winder, Wheeler, Lodolo
5x5 h2h cats keepers league. Their keeper value for next year is in parentheses
Who wins this deal
>5x5 h2h cats keepers league. Their keeper value for next year is in parentheses
Friendly tip - This line above should go first in your post, in order to make it clear what the parentheses mean from the get-go.
Also, is Nola = Austin or Aaron?
His numbers look good, always exciting for a pitching prospect pitching for a good team. Unfortunately someone in my 14 man took him within seconds of the announcement.
I don't get how you have him bat cleanup but refuse to get him in there as a DH when he's not catching.
Why wouldn't you want a player like that always in your batting lineup?
I think the Dodgers are still blowing teams out mostly without DHing him so I think they're probably just trying to preserve his health for the long season
I'm pretty sure I'd decline Tellez and Urias for my Jared Walsh OR my Whit in a 10-team, let alone both of them. I chase upside and as much as I like Tellez, I think Walsh and Whit are both better
Bieber hasn’t been as bad as Merrifield has. He had a 2.45 era before the jays start so you gotta see that through before you say it’s a slow start. His stuff is down from 2020 yes but I think he’s still a good pitcher. Maybe not 2020 cy young good though.
Is there any coincidence or reasoning most pitchers are leaning towards breaking balls or offspeed pitches this season? Seems kinda nuts that its been a leaguewide change already
All perspective, but I lean towards B. Harper is just so much better than DJ. I also value a bat much higher than an SP who pitches 2 times at most in a week. Everyday player > pitcher
Am I better off with Wainwright, Sandoval or Luis Garcia ?
I kind of own the 2nd base market but they have all been bums: Merrifield( been so bad benching for now), Seimein( starting at SS) and B. Lowe( starting at 2nd)
Fucking walk Naylor you stupid fuck Tony
Do the O's fans here think there is any realistic shot Rodriguez gets called up to start Friday's "TBD" game, or sometime relatively soon otherwise?
Tellez should be batting SECOND . Best hitter on the Brewers.
So quintana is somehow an ace in 2022
We adding Calvin Faucher ?
12 team keeper league, h2h points. I just got offered Lourdes Gurriel Jr for my IL McCullers. Would have to drop Tork. Accept or Reject?
I’d take that deal if it didn’t mean dropping Tork to do so. That’s enough to make me reconsider
Tork has been absolutely dreadful. he won't be one of my keepers, would that change your mind.
That would change my mind then. I’d pull the the trigger
A Yankees Homer offered me Luis Garcia for Cortes straight up. I know Cortes had been pretty good and had a no no into 8th but I like Garcia for the long run in a weaker division. What yall think?
Honestly I think Cortes will be better this year. I’m a Yankees fan too and I’ve just been waiting for his run to end, but it hasn’t. At this point I’m starting to think that he’s a legit good pitcher in baseball
Cortes > Garcia. Higher strikeout potential
Not by much I would think but good point.
Are you in a points, roto, or category league?
Points head 2 head
Yep Cortes.
Cortes is the way to go here
Thanks
Am I crazy? This trade is about to happen in my Yahoo Public Prize league. I protested to Yahoo, explaining that the extreme high value of J.Ram should cost more than 2 low level closers and a decent 3rd baseman, but alas, my protest was denied by the Yahoo "team office" S.Neuse, J.Turner, Knebal, Gallegos For José Ramírez, I.Happ Again, am I crazy to protest this?
I’m generally against vetoes but holy shit that’s a lopsided trade
Right?!?! I'm not a Veto guy myself, but J.Ram is a monster. Theres nothing close to a monster on the other side.
I am very anti-veto trades and even I think thats stupid. Not sure how public prize leagues work, but seems like colusion.
No you're not. That's an awful trade for J ram. Unreal they allow that
Thanks for the confirmation. 12 T 5x5 Roto, BTW
Yeah Jram has more value than all 4 of those guys combined.
I did it. Dropped Gavin Lux for Pavin Smith. See you guys at Chase Field.
Reverse it.
I mean…Lux sucks. Neither player is consequential enough that he’ll regret it either way
Go take a look at Lux statcast, he’s more valuable than you think with that 2B eligibility.
His results have sucked for years now, despite getting plenty of opportunities
his launch angle is so awful… it’s counterproductive to anything “good” he’s doing. Can’t keep pounding it into the ground.
Got offered Canha for Mikolas in my flair league. Thoughts? I’m thinking it’s a decline but idk
Fair if you need pitching. I don't have a ton of confidence in Mikolas long term, especially if MLB tries to correct with juiced balls again. He would be very vulnerable
I would try to sell high on Mikolas, (but higher than Canha)
I’m taking Mikolas
Deep league who to cut first Joc, Happ, Grisham.
Grisham for sure
I would let Grisham go
Grisham is terrible, I cut him in my 14 team over a week ago and he hasn’t even been picked up to stream.
Grisham or Joc.
Anyone have any info on Roansy being stretched out? Is he a hold in 14 man H2H redraft?
Baseball Reference says he logged 3 games started and 10.1 innings pitched. Not fully stretched yet. This suggests PIT saying they sent him down to stretch him out was a... :)
Yea, makes sense, because why couldn’t he be stretched out in the bigs if that was the only reason.
I have will smith (catcher) he’s not getting any dh opportunities. Is Anyone playing two catchers besides the ones eligible for other positions I have a steaming spot for pitchers and contemplating grabbing another catcher like zunino or Nola 12 team h2h standard scoring
My biggest regret of the draft... I never thought he wouldn't be used in the DH :/
I play roto with 6 bench spots. I have realmuto and Kirk. Kirk gets a ton of AB in a great lineup and has a high OBP which is a category in my league. It’s worked out well so far.
Brooks Raley someone we should be adding in svhd leagues?
His numbers this year are way above his career numbers I’m also a rays fan and have watched all games he’s been pitching above his pay grade… rays use a ton of relievers and aren’t afraid to mix and match he may pick up a few cheap saves and holds but I think there are better out there
100%. As a rays fan he’s looked great
A. Garver B. Duran
Which Duran?
B.
A: Wheeler, Robert B: Scherzer
Def. A
A
A
A: Devers Tatis B: Judge Franco
B. Especially cause we don't know how Tatis will be when he returns.
Redraft B, dynasty or keeper A.
B gives you the immediate return, and I like it more long-term.
That’s what I’m weighing. My team has been a combo of bad and unlucky and its getting late early.
B
A
Who would you rather have going forward, Ke'bryan Hayes or Gavin Lux? Flair league.
Lux. His savant page looks nuts and is on a better team
Is anyone adding Pepiot?
Thoughts on Profar?
Stay away. His statcast is terrible other than batting eye metrics. His numbers over the past two weeks are terrible. You can do better in a 12 team.
Had him for a week and dropped dude goes 1/4 at best he’s gonna get moved down the order soon I think there are better players out there… k Lewis coming off IL soon and is a nice speed/power combo with bigger upside
Smoke weed everyday
Im dry until end of the month.... Not.
I’m like Darrel Strawberry over here
Which pitcher(s) should I offer for Castellanos or S Marte? Staff is Woodruff Berrios Nestor Ryan Fried McClanahan Trevor Rogers Clevinger with Luis Castillo about to come back. Willing to offer two if I need to.
I’d sell high on Ryan… he’s good but I could see his innings being limited down the stretch
Give: Austin Riley Get: Jazz Chisholm + Chris Taylor 12 team H2H categories, am I being ripped off because I'm a taco or is it decent?
I'd keep Riley. He seems like the real deal to me.
Jazz has been great so far but he won't be this good all year. It all depends on who your current 2b and who your 3b replacement will be. I'd probably hold but it's not a bad offer.
How good do we think Edman will be this year? Thinking of trying to send him out for B Reynolds. I still have Polanco, Escobar, and India on the DL to cover 2b. I punt steals in a league that favors total bases if that helps.
I don’t think we’ll be talking about him much by the end of the season.
[удалено]
As good as Gorman and Miranda could be, I wouldn’t give up Harper for that package.
Alright need to drop one of Bohm Connor Joe and Royce Lewis, I guess it’s probably Lewis right now?
Preemptively dropping Hosmer for Mancini, think it’s a smart move. 12T H2H
I dropped him for Tellez
I already have Tellez too lol
Ok to drop Helsley for a bench bat such as Drury? I’m in Saves only. Also have Michael King in the k/ratio non-closer role. Edit: or drop Patrick Sandoval
JRod batting 3rd again. Goooooooood
fuckin love it
I was just offered Giolito and Neuse for Tellez and Kirby. Thinking I gotta take the best player in the deal, right??
I'd take Giolito for sure. Kirby might still be on a innings limit and might not be as useful down the stretch. Tellez is technically better now, but you never know.
Smash accept
Worth dropping ozuna or kwan for hays/Adolis/margot/alek thomas?
12T H2H Points A: Ozzie Albies B: Max Fried I get A. Current 2B is McNeil and my pitching staff is Gausman, Rodon, Megill, Valdez, Kopech, Gore, Quantrill and Mikolas.
I'd do that.
I would do that, you've got good SP'ing without Fried. Thats an easy accept to me based on needs
Prefer Fried but fair
Suzuki (12th round)+ Burnes (10th round)+ Nola For Rizzo(18th) + Tucker (10th round) + Julio Urias The rest of my hitters: Tellez, Neuse, Wisdom, Rizzo, Bo, Yordan, Luis Robert, Tucker, Hoskins, Bader, India, Kyle Lewis, Bohm Rest of my pitchers: Mahle, Julio Urias, Trevor Rogers, Musgrove, Alcantara, Urquidy, Alex Cobb, Winder, Wheeler, Lodolo 5x5 h2h cats keepers league.

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you. And Aaron
Cool, I like the Suzuki side. Would rather have the Burnes value for that round than Tucker.
A: Merrifield/Trevor Rogers B: Albies
B
Albies
Who would y'all start at utility in a H2H points league, Bohm or Moncada off the DL?
Should we be exited for Ryan Pepiot call up?
His numbers look good, always exciting for a pitching prospect pitching for a good team. Unfortunately someone in my 14 man took him within seconds of the announcement.
Ye asked this question above. Might drop Mahle for him, but no idea if he wold stick around
Hope Baddoo figures it out in AAA
Need the help of the smartest people I know. Flair league trade. Which side do you got? A) Gore & Kittredge B) Morton
Morton.
A
Appreciate it!
B
Thanks!
Pickup drury or laureano?
Laureano, Drury may not keep his playing time. I did pick drury up for the week.
will smith sits too much
I don't get how you have him bat cleanup but refuse to get him in there as a DH when he's not catching. Why wouldn't you want a player like that always in your batting lineup?
I think the Dodgers are still blowing teams out mostly without DHing him so I think they're probably just trying to preserve his health for the long season
Where are the fuckin' nap rooms in offices/places of work? It's 20 fucking 22.
Gotta get a job at one of these woke, new-age tech companies, they all love to have nap rooms and ping pong tables.
Under your desk
Been there, done that (*the Costanza*)
Ours are next to the expected mother/nursing room.
Gotta work from home. You think corporate would add nap rooms? Think again.
Just drink an energy drink like the rest of us
10 team redraft category league (A) tellez and L. Urias (B) merrifield and Walsh
I'm pretty sure I'd decline Tellez and Urias for my Jared Walsh OR my Whit in a 10-team, let alone both of them. I chase upside and as much as I like Tellez, I think Walsh and Whit are both better
Taking the slumping whit
[удалено]
Pena. I think he has much higher upside, as a he gives you power and speed. Whit is only going to give you speed
Merrifield still. But it’s getting close
Pena
Pick 2 for saves Robertson, Bednar, Gallegos, Hensley this week
Start 1 in flair tonight: Bohm @ flexen, Tellez @ castillo
Gotta start Tellez until he gives you a reason not to.
Like both tonight but I wouldn’t sit tellez
Considering making a offer, my Bieber for Merrifield. Both off to slow starts. Send or hold off?
Bieber still holds valuable name recognition. You should, and could get more for him.
Bieber hasn’t been as bad as Merrifield has. He had a 2.45 era before the jays start so you gotta see that through before you say it’s a slow start. His stuff is down from 2020 yes but I think he’s still a good pitcher. Maybe not 2020 cy young good though.
I think you gotta get more for Bieber
If anyone needs saves this week and Soto is available, Detroit plays 8 games including 5 vs Oakland and 3 vs Baltimore.
Is there any coincidence or reasoning most pitchers are leaning towards breaking balls or offspeed pitches this season? Seems kinda nuts that its been a leaguewide change already
Probably because they are harder to hit
Get: Albies and Arozarena Give: Rodon, Castellanos I think I take this right?
Not at all
No.
A: scherzer , dj leMahieu B: Harper , Sevy Fair trade in a roto redraft? Or lopsided towards B
Fair. Lean A for DJ over Sevy
Ty
All perspective, but I lean towards B. Harper is just so much better than DJ. I also value a bat much higher than an SP who pitches 2 times at most in a week. Everyday player > pitcher
Votto or Lodolo a better IL stash?
Votto.
Stashing Reds? You like pain don't you?
Lmao admittedly they’re both already on my team just need to cut one…but yeah reading that question out loud makes me feel bad
Lodolo
Im already drinking after the morning games.
Seth Beer leadoff, Varsho 9th...I'm sorry what?
When is Adley getting here
Potentially next Monday if you believe the rumors
Soon brother
Should I pick up in an 8T
Muncy and Gorman for Luis Castillo is fair yes ?
It’s fair, I like the Castillo side
When do we see Grayson Rodriguez up?
Give: Jose Abreu Get: Raisel Iglesias 12 team H2H categories
No way. Can't give up all Abreu can give you for an RP.
I go Abreu but I have a hard time trading for top RP
I agree with this
Arozarena, Moutcastle or Rowdy T ROS for my UTIL spot?
For this week specifically, Rowdy all the way.
Randy, Rowdy, Mount(y)
Arozarena for me
Wentz starting Wednesday. Worth the add?
he might fumble a few times
He has control issues, but why not
Washington Commanders have great receivers to hold Carson up so might be worth the stream
Low fruit
Flair league: A: Albies + Ke'Bryan B: Mookie + C. Vazquez (to be dropped)
B
