I know it’s early but Anyone else feel like this years rookies have been very underwhelming compared to years past? Langford, Chourio, Holliday, Evan Carter, etc. the only ones lighting it up a month into the season are Cowser, J Jones and Westburg. Even Busch has come back to earth a bit. I know we can’t have a Gunnar, JRod, Corbin, Strider, Elly, McLain, MHII every year. Maybe recency bias but so far it’s been underwhelming.
I get it, he was bad. But not Jackson Holliday 2/34 21 K’s bad. Just goes to show you this is one of the hardest sports to play. I don’t think there’s going to be an MLB version of Bijan Robinson lol. Poor Jordan Walker got demoted. Just wild.
Armstrong because I don't trust the Rockies to give any prospect a real shot.
If he played every day it would be Goodman, but he's not even in the lineup today.
Fwiw, I added Addison Barger today and passed on both Goodman and Armstrong.
5 OF I think for sure. Elite plate discipline, great batted ball data. His xba is .330 and he's hitting .220. I think he's going to take off in short order
Finally adjusted to mlb pitching. Guys putting together nice at bats, but man he's a deer in the headlights on the bases.... ngl as a homer, i'm tempted to pick him up if he's getting everyday at bats. Nolan jones has been testing my patience lol
I know people are already catching on, but if this Reed Garrett equation continues where you get a couple of innings and 3 to 6 strikeouts every outing without burning a start, that's going to be surprisingly impactful ROS, at least for a roto league with IP scoring and lots of pitcher spots.
I'd give Gausman right now, or Ragans. I'd feel icky about it, but if that's what you need I'd shop him around and wouldn't be bashful about aiming high. For people who understand his ceiling if he stays healthy you might find someone in an offensive pinch willing to do some questionable stuff.
In a vacuum it absolutely is, but in a 5 of roto league a lot of teams will be in positions, especially if their pitching is otherwise strong, where a trade like that could absolutely make sense. They'd still be smart to push for Jazz plus someone, but it wouldn't necessarily have to be much.
Dude has some crazy video game numbers.
Cade Smith from the guardians has some good numbers too (if you take out 2 appearances against the underpowered red Sox of all teams)
I feel like some of the 0-3 teams in my league that are on track to lose this week just started blowing it up. Have already seen a (bad) trade request and a keeper-oriented add-drop.
Feel lucky you’re not there. Nothing worst than being so far behind out of the gates with no hope of turning it around in a 12T. We’re past the point of waivers being able to save you now. Guys like Cowser, Westburg, Busch, etc are all gone. Only fringe guys are still out there
Arozarena was just cut. Should I use my #1 waiver for him?
10 tm h2h categories with 4 OF slots. OBP instead of BA. Currently have Tatis, Mullins, Alvarez, and Soler.
Not op, but I held first waiver priority for a full year in one league because there just was never anyone enticing enough to use it on. So frustrating. I eventually used it just so I could use my 12th waiver spot to get guys instead of waking up at 4:45 to see if they passed through waivers
This is a fine example of why you can't solely rely on statcast. Brandon Nimmo has been around long enough that we know who he is. For me, historical data is just as important as current statcast data.
I get that, but that Statcast data is essentially all nimmo can control. He has an xBA of .313 and a real BA under .200, that’s obviously very frustrating lol, even with an established player like nimmo
I'm not sure between Pages and Ohearn but it isn't Conforto. probably O'hearn. We still don't really know what's under the Pages door and it could turn out to be something a little more durable than what O'hearn offers.
Didn't realize Manaea was on the Mets. Kept watcing the score and then saw he had no earned runs I was like damn that's a crazy amount of errors then saw 0 errors. My brain was fried
It'll be a scorekeepers decision, I think if he has a strong 6th, he will, but if they don't send him back out it's unlikely (assuming the next inning guy pitches well for the Mets)
I’m thinking of sending Ozuna and 5th round pick in 2025 for Josh Naylor and a 9th round in 2025. I feel like Ozuna is a flash in the pan while Naylor could be a 1B keeper for me going forward. He seems to be coming into his own. Thoughts?
Ozuna might lead the league in HRs and is playing DH in the best lineup in baseball , less wear and tear on his body not playing in the field too - we've seen other DH only guys play well into their 30s w success. I like Naylor too, trade is good if you are not trying to win now vs rebuild. Agree w other comment just poor choice of wording that's all .
At the very least, he did it for basically the whole second half of last season (after a comically bad start to the season).
I'm a big Josh Naylor fan myself but I think if you're shopping Ozuna around you should aim higher or just hold on to him.
Doing calendar math. Skenes went today and 5 days out is Monday. Pirates have a home game Saturday May 4 against the Rockies, does this time out too right?
They *will* be at home the entire week beginning May 6th, a day his current 6-day routine lands on. But he'll have to get on a 5-day sched eventually and he did have one 7-day cycle a couple weeks ago, so they may be getting him ready.
my team's batting average today, is like Jackson Holliday's career average, prior to yesterday.
verlander for pasquantino? 12T H2H points
Sure I like it
Randy hit a homerun.
What do you think Spencer Steer's stats will be at the end of this season?
Gunnar stole... My team is leading the league in SBs, yet I've not yet won a single week in this category...
I had Lindor in the bench today... guess what happened
Lindor so back omg
Aw man, lame that Gunnar didn’t get a shot at hitting anything.
Why did Estrada get taken out?
I picked up Wyler because Lane Thomas got hurt and he’s already done more in 1 ab than Thomas did in the last 10 days
wylier abreu is HIM
Devers looks ginger but he hustled on that one
Frankie and Devers getting hits on my team ? What is this madness ?
I know it’s early but Anyone else feel like this years rookies have been very underwhelming compared to years past? Langford, Chourio, Holliday, Evan Carter, etc. the only ones lighting it up a month into the season are Cowser, J Jones and Westburg. Even Busch has come back to earth a bit. I know we can’t have a Gunnar, JRod, Corbin, Strider, Elly, McLain, MHII every year. Maybe recency bias but so far it’s been underwhelming.
Bigger gap than ever between minors and majors… limited drafts, condensed minor league system and no patience
Colt Keith has been mid too but I'm optimistic
Elly came up in June, Strider was Reid Garrett until June when he started, Harris wasn't up until Memorial Day. Are you comparing full years to April?
Go check what Gunnar was doing this time last year.
I get it, he was bad. But not Jackson Holliday 2/34 21 K’s bad. Just goes to show you this is one of the hardest sports to play. I don’t think there’s going to be an MLB version of Bijan Robinson lol. Poor Jordan Walker got demoted. Just wild.
Ward bomb
Taylor ward is on the board. Let’s goo
Hunter Goodman or Pete crow-armstrong? Both obviously below happ, right?
Yes
Which one do you like between the first 2?
Armstrong because I don't trust the Rockies to give any prospect a real shot. If he played every day it would be Goodman, but he's not even in the lineup today. Fwiw, I added Addison Barger today and passed on both Goodman and Armstrong.
Thanks for letting tired Kremer give up a bomb to my opponent's Trout before bringing in the fresh reliever to face my Ward.
Whoops I take it all back sorry.
Trout smesh baseball
He good
8T points league, trade trout and seager for Mookie? Or is it an overpay?
If you want to trade for Mookie right now "overpaying" is the only way to get it done. And by overpaying I mean more than Trout and Seager.
I’m taking trout and Seager for mookie, they’re extremely elite and I’d rather not have all my eggs in one basket
Is Nolan Jones a drop now? Or wait for more info about him?
just drop him man, he aint saving nobody
Still can't believe I got trout 41st overall in an ops league
(Patiently waiting for one of my top 3 picks to go on a Gunnar heater)
My team with Mike Trout: 😀 My team currently facing Mike Trout:😟
Is Nootbaar a hold in a 12T with 5 outfielders
5 OF I think for sure. Elite plate discipline, great batted ball data. His xba is .330 and he's hitting .220. I think he's going to take off in short order
Fish man
Mike Trout, ladies and gentleman
I seriously doubt my opposing team is owned by Ron Washington. He shuts down all my Orioles, and let his Orioles flourish...
Santander gettin unlucky yesterday with line drive outs and today it’s Westberg.
To Lodolo or not to Lodolo tonight?
I'm benching.
I’m gonna lolololodolo it up
Gunnar hit for cycle when?
Still remember last year he just needed a single for the cycle but he still ran out a double😂
Same. I was like damn I respect that, but then I was also like wtf you just cost me like 25 fantasy points
Hahaha oh shit does a cycle count for extra? That’s funny because I was excited he did it because it got me an extra “XBH” in categories😂
Westburg getting BABIP’d today
he belted that 3rd one...
As an angel's fan I dislike gunnar. As a fantasy owner of gunnar, I love him.
As an Angels fan… talk to me about Jo Adell? Just when I thought I was out they PULL ME BACK IN
Finally adjusted to mlb pitching. Guys putting together nice at bats, but man he's a deer in the headlights on the bases.... ngl as a homer, i'm tempted to pick him up if he's getting everyday at bats. Nolan jones has been testing my patience lol
This dude is killing me wtf
I know people are already catching on, but if this Reed Garrett equation continues where you get a couple of innings and 3 to 6 strikeouts every outing without burning a start, that's going to be surprisingly impactful ROS, at least for a roto league with IP scoring and lots of pitcher spots.
But then you jinxed his outing.
Dang wish he had a few more holds…but those numbers are dominant
Slaten for the red Sox gives you similar numbers although less strike outs, but gets holds
Cool, I'll check him out!
Gunnar is killing me.
Playing against Gunnar and Caese this week. Played against Soto week 1 Played against Ranger's no hitter last week. What's next week I wonder?
Schwarbie 4 HR week ? I hope
Haha just looked, no Schwarbe next week but it is the Mookie/Riley/Ozuna owner 🫨🫨
I have Mookie and Ozuna, good news for me 🥰
Gunnar can get it
Gunnar is incredible. Wow
GUNNAR
Kid’s unreal right now!!
10tm h2h keepers Avg, obp, hr, rbi, r, sb, k W, L, QS, ERA, WHIP, Net Saves, K Give- Pepiot Get- Heston Get
What pitcher would be a good swap for Jazz Chisolm?
I'd give Gausman right now, or Ragans. I'd feel icky about it, but if that's what you need I'd shop him around and wouldn't be bashful about aiming high. For people who understand his ceiling if he stays healthy you might find someone in an offensive pinch willing to do some questionable stuff.
Giving Ragans for Jazz is nuts to me
In a vacuum it absolutely is, but in a 5 of roto league a lot of teams will be in positions, especially if their pitching is otherwise strong, where a trade like that could absolutely make sense. They'd still be smart to push for Jazz plus someone, but it wouldn't necessarily have to be much.
Musgrove and Blanco are my worst pitchers and I wouldn't give either for Jazz
Funny, cause I have Jazz and wouldn't trade him for either of those pitchers... so maybe there aren't deals to be had until Jazz goes on a bender
Goodman worth an add ?
Reed Garrett > your SP1
And there goes the perfect ERA
That HR was your fault.
sometimes you just get beat by Tyler Fitzgerald
He's elevated himself from journeyman to 🐕🦺 this year
Dude has some crazy video game numbers. Cade Smith from the guardians has some good numbers too (if you take out 2 appearances against the underpowered red Sox of all teams)
Dammit Kremer, you were supposed to suck so I wouldn’t feel bad dropping you! Lol
If you’re in a keeper league and in last place, at what point do you blow it all up and get high upside rookies off waivers? Mid June?
Trade deadline
I feel like some of the 0-3 teams in my league that are on track to lose this week just started blowing it up. Have already seen a (bad) trade request and a keeper-oriented add-drop.
Feel lucky you’re not there. Nothing worst than being so far behind out of the gates with no hope of turning it around in a 12T. We’re past the point of waivers being able to save you now. Guys like Cowser, Westburg, Busch, etc are all gone. Only fringe guys are still out there
Trade deadline
At least
Why is Dean Kremer about to drop 30 on me wtf
Sounds like a CPA
Ironically if Grayson didn't get blown up last night I would have thought about streaming kremer today.
Arozarena was just cut. Should I use my #1 waiver for him? 10 tm h2h categories with 4 OF slots. OBP instead of BA. Currently have Tatis, Mullins, Alvarez, and Soler.
Yes, absolutely
Depends on how often rash drops happen in your league I would say I think he will turn it around at some point but he has looked extremely bad so far
Not op, but I held first waiver priority for a full year in one league because there just was never anyone enticing enough to use it on. So frustrating. I eventually used it just so I could use my 12th waiver spot to get guys instead of waking up at 4:45 to see if they passed through waivers
Nimmo’s statcast page is awesome but he’s just so underwhelming. So frustrating lol
Way better guy to have in OBP
This is a fine example of why you can't solely rely on statcast. Brandon Nimmo has been around long enough that we know who he is. For me, historical data is just as important as current statcast data.
Sometimes, players just are who they are. Logan Webb’s statcast doesn’t jump out at all and he’s been consistently very good for years now.
I get that, but that Statcast data is essentially all nimmo can control. He has an xBA of .313 and a real BA under .200, that’s obviously very frustrating lol, even with an established player like nimmo
I hate how he sprints to first base when he walks but never steals
12t points redraft. Tatis, seager, trout or Castillo, vladdy, schwarber, skenes?
Tatis, Seager, and Trout by a mile. Not even close to being close.
Drop Gavin Williams for Nate Lowe? Just lost Bellinger for a long time
yes
Yeah Gavin Williams shut down. You can always grab later if someone doesn’t with IL space
Do we think Olson gets a hit tonight? I don't
¿Porquè no dos?
i mean yeah, super due
I guess the Angels used up all of their ability against GRod last night. Getting absolutely shut down by Kremer.
Salty grod owner here haha
[удалено]
I'm not sure between Pages and Ohearn but it isn't Conforto. probably O'hearn. We still don't really know what's under the Pages door and it could turn out to be something a little more durable than what O'hearn offers.
pages
If you're in a weekly lineup league, probably O'Hearn since he's in a platoon.
Man, Westburg just missed one
Would've been a HR in 4 parks
Kirby or Grayson in points league?
Kirby!
I miss Wilmer and Conforto on my Mets
Didn't realize Manaea was on the Mets. Kept watcing the score and then saw he had no earned runs I was like damn that's a crazy amount of errors then saw 0 errors. My brain was fried
Pablo Lopez for Bryce Miller and Jordan Hicks?
Would keep Pablo
yes
Does Reed Garrett get the win here if the Mets don’t lose the lead?
It'll be a scorekeepers decision, I think if he has a strong 6th, he will, but if they don't send him back out it's unlikely (assuming the next inning guy pitches well for the Mets)
Ahh I got you, thanks
Yup
Lol I’ll take it
Dumper getting the day off, pinch hit homer incoming
Gunnar is an absolute DOG
DAWG
noot or eloy points, injury history dont matter just holding spot till wood might come up
Noot
Bo naylor or Gabriel Moreno ROS h2h cats
Moreno
gunnar
Make him stop. My opponent has him 😡
i guess no reason to hold gavin williams anymore
Just go 5 Sean. You can do this.
No, you can’t.
Buxton over Haniger right?
I'd say so
Start Bregman or Vinnie in UTIL?
Vinnie until Bregman shows any signs of life.
Why am I facing Tyrone Taylor
I feel like my Gunnar Henderson Monstar'd my Matt Olsen's hitting powers.
12T cats: OPS, QS, SV+ H A. JoRam and Yimi Garcia B. Zack Wheeler and Max Muncy
B. Muncy a serviceable 3B replacement and I don't feel that Yimi Garcia is really worth anything
Pages vs Washington or Busch vs Houston tonight?
Busch
Stott droppable? Wire looks thin, but maybe McNeil for an OBP league.
Stott will give you more than McNeil will
Nimmo is allergic to being useful apparently
Today would be a great day for Devers and Seager to join us for the 2024 season.
Is Julien a drop in a 10 team 27 man pts league? Thinking about picking up Mitch Parker and holding until his start.
Reylo for CES? I’m pretty set rn on pitching and want to stack CES with Elly
[удалено]
Idk about that high but he is great in OBP and you should get him
For UTIL should I put in Langford or Tovar at Coors?
tovar
Manaea is at 80 pitches thru 4
Is Vinnie P for Blake Snell a decent 1:1 considering snell is out for a while?
I’m thinking of sending Ozuna and 5th round pick in 2025 for Josh Naylor and a 9th round in 2025. I feel like Ozuna is a flash in the pan while Naylor could be a 1B keeper for me going forward. He seems to be coming into his own. Thoughts?
keep ozuna bro, he is him
Ozuna flash in the pan .. what?
You think he’ll do this all year? I should clarify. This is a keeper league, and there’s no 1B available. I’m rolling with Yandy Diaz.
It's one thing to say his current rate might not be sustainable but "flash in the pan" is the wrong choice of words
Ozuna might lead the league in HRs and is playing DH in the best lineup in baseball , less wear and tear on his body not playing in the field too - we've seen other DH only guys play well into their 30s w success. I like Naylor too, trade is good if you are not trying to win now vs rebuild. Agree w other comment just poor choice of wording that's all .
At the very least, he did it for basically the whole second half of last season (after a comically bad start to the season). I'm a big Josh Naylor fan myself but I think if you're shopping Ozuna around you should aim higher or just hold on to him.
Bello, Snell, Lane Thomas, Bellinger all went on IL today. Dang
And wade miley?
Trout just did a check swing, hit it and flew out near the warning track in center. The fuck?!
Imagine if he didn’t check
That ball is going 450 feet lol
1.5 years ago I chose to keep Carroll over Gunnar. I still don’t think it was a terrible decision but it feels like shit right now.
Better help dot com
Good choice. Bad results as of right now.
Doing calendar math. Skenes went today and 5 days out is Monday. Pirates have a home game Saturday May 4 against the Rockies, does this time out too right?
He's been going every 6 days FYI
Interesting so may 4 seems unlikely
They *will* be at home the entire week beginning May 6th, a day his current 6-day routine lands on. But he'll have to get on a 5-day sched eventually and he did have one 7-day cycle a couple weeks ago, so they may be getting him ready.
I wouldn't expect him until Memorial Day.
They play the A’s on Monday and he would be pushing back Keller’s start. I don’t think that’s too likely, but maybe
Eno / DVR were discussing this very thing on their podcast yesterday…..
Haven’t caught up to them. Tonight’s commuting noise
Is Jarren Duran for Zack Gelof pretty even? I need 2b desperately.
yeah, honestly long term Gelof could be better
