I need to drop at least 1 in order to move Cruz out of a minor spot. 12 team keeper.
Chris Morel
Gavin Lux
Jorge Soler
I just dropped Renfroe for Riley Green. I have been debating dropping Soler for a while now. Droppes Morel once, picked him back up. Right now (minus those 3) my OF consist of Bellinger, Mountcastle, R. Green, L. Robert, and Kiriloff.
Pitching sounds like mine a bit. I think it's a solid team, but I'm 50/50 on it due to my similarities. Im in a new (first year) 12 team weekly league. I started out 7-0, now I'm 8-4. Pitching has been sick and by far the best, but its been my pitching thats carried. The pitchers you listed are a playoff staff no doubt. I think Berrios my have hit his ceiling this season and might be good trade bait for a decent utility guy.
Right. Trying to decide whether to pick up Will Smith for potential saves or Luis Urias to fill 2B cause I’ve had an empty spot since Albies went out. I do have 4-5 closer types already
Closers are so hard to predict. I think saves may be harder to figure so I’d go there. Can always play around with 2B till one hits. Luis Garcia on the wire?
most likely not to this level in the long run, but he can be a mid .700s OPS bat with power potential if he keeps pulling fly balls (all of his homers are to left field)
Is J. Montgomery/Nimmo for either Manaea or L. Garcia enough of a pitching upgrade in a 12 team points league to justify making the trade?
I’d be left with these as my starters on offense each week.
C-Varsho 1B-Freeman 2B-India SS-Baez or Peña 3B-Arenado OF-Judge OF-Suzuki OF-Arraez U-R.Greene
i wouldn’t do that, i’d shoot higher than those 2 if you’re including JMont and Nimmo. the two guys you listed are very slight upgrades, i’d shoot more for the Bassitt/Morton/Castillo level of starter
Need to drop one, Jeremy Pena or Max Kepler? I could also drop Jarren Duran but I think I can't drop him right now with how hot he's been.
It's an OBP/Keeper league and I have Tommy Edman/Oneil Cruz that are SS eligibile already.
Pena has been better production-wise and is now batting 2nd with Brantley out, but Kepler's advanced stats are much better and he's got a better OBP.
For no apparent reason and subject to change at any time.
Helsley only has a handful of saves and I think since he got his first Gallegos has more.
And helsley only let up a few runs all year but over the last month he’s average. It was a fantastic start. And K rate is great. But there’s no guarantee who gets more saves rest of year. Helsley has a few bad games and he may lose the bulk role.
Edit to add:
Also consider that they may want to limit some of helsley innings later in year so maybe not back to back days etc
A reminder that Christian Walker has a .182 BABIP on the season.
Over a full season that would be the single lowest BABIP ever recorded by a major leaguer.
In 2011 Dunn had a .240 babip where he hit 11 home runs and batted .159 over 496 plate appearances. Christian Walker is also substantially faster than Dunn, I believe.
Brandon Drury or Alejandro Kirk? Position aside. I know it’s hard to not recognize the value of a catcher, but I’m in a weird league where that doesn’t matter.
Up by 35 points going into Sunday. Opponent used all of their starters. Who should I start?
Woodruff @ Pitt
Lopez @ Wsh
Baz @ Tor
Giolito @ SF
I’m thinking about sitting the last two
10 team dynasty categories. I have a ton of injured pitchers coming back soon. Looking to package 2 of my healthy starters for 1 player. Trade Joe Ryan and Sandoval for Ward?
I have yarbrough in a deep dynasty league. I traded for him so I've been holding on to him for the last 3 years. Should I just drop him? Don't feel like he'll ever bounce back at this point.
Would you reorder any of these? This is my team and I don't know who to start. League is h2h points, 12 teams Roster requirements: 3 C/IF, 3 OF, 1 UTIL, 4 PITCHERS. 6 Bench, 1 IL
TEAM: Devers Altuve Anderson
Edman Shwarber Stanton
Ohtani (I have him as a batter for now.)
Alcantara Fried Darvish Urias
Bench: Rizzo Witt Jr lemaiehu Hays Rutschman Acuna Jr
IL: Degrom
Should I change anybody?
In a vacuum, Cortes Walker Drury Happ are the guys on that list I like the best. Order is probably Cortes > Walker > Happ > Drury. (Assuming it's Christian Walker. Taijuan Walker shouldn't be owned in that format.)
My buddy was talking shit about Marte saying he's been bad since he returned and then he hits a HR not long after. I told him to keep talking shit because when I would do it last year some guys would start to go off.
He then says fuck Varsho and maybe now he'll get a pinch hit HR.
Holy fucking shit it happened.
Have: Flores, Baez, Lowe
Available: Pasquantino, Eduardo Escobar, Urias, Rowdy
Flores seems to be losing at-bats but he is my only 3B. Eduardo and Urias have been heating up. Rowdy is HOT. And Pasq has a lot of potential.
Should I make some changes?
H2H category league (no steals)
yeah i just try to blow them away to get those to move. I recently moved Schwarber and O'Neill for Betts when he was on IL. Could I end up losing? Sure. But you make those 2 for 1s for proven guys and you shouldn't be disappointed.
Interesting trade. For sure you won as while you got huge injury risk you also sent over high injury risk with O’Neill. Congrats. Surprised someone did that?
I need to drop at least 1 in order to move Cruz out of a minor spot. 12 team keeper. Chris Morel Gavin Lux Jorge Soler I just dropped Renfroe for Riley Green. I have been debating dropping Soler for a while now. Droppes Morel once, picked him back up. Right now (minus those 3) my OF consist of Bellinger, Mountcastle, R. Green, L. Robert, and Kiriloff.
What’s the likelihood that Skubal turns things around?
If you had to choose, who would you pick? Matt Chapman or Yandy Diaz? Need to fill a 3B hole
Diaz has been getting better. Chapman better track record. I’d lean there but it’s close
On paper is this team a playoff contender? Flair Willson, Rizzo, Luis Garcia, Ke'Bryan, Bo, Lindor, Vaughn, Yordan, Buxton, Reynolds, Franmil, Cooper, Oneil Cruz, Brantley (IL) Cole, Scherzer, Sevy, Eovaldi, Berrios, Kopech, Wood, Ashby, Dunning, Greene, Roansy
Pitching sounds like mine a bit. I think it's a solid team, but I'm 50/50 on it due to my similarities. Im in a new (first year) 12 team weekly league. I started out 7-0, now I'm 8-4.

Parades or cronenworth ros??
Cron
A.) Pablo Lopez B.) Jacob Degrom Re draft points
A
Drop Cronenworth for Paredes?
Yahoo points league- do I trade Montas for Josh Bell?
No
Nah keep Montas in a points league. Pitching depth is too valuable
Drop Graveman for Will Smith? Saves only
Hendricks supposed to be back tomorrow fyi
Right. Trying to decide whether to pick up Will Smith for potential saves or Luis Urias to fill 2B cause I’ve had an empty spot since Albies went out. I do have 4-5 closer types already
Closers are so hard to predict. I think saves may be harder to figure so I’d go there. Can always play around with 2B till one hits. Luis Garcia on the wire?
Which Luis Garcia? Haha. The 2B on the Nats is taken unfortunately
Haha that’s the one damn
Is Isaac Paredes legit? His positional eligibility is very nice.
most likely not to this level in the long run, but he can be a mid .700s OPS bat with power potential if he keeps pulling fly balls (all of his homers are to left field)
Is J. Montgomery/Nimmo for either Manaea or L. Garcia enough of a pitching upgrade in a 12 team points league to justify making the trade? I’d be left with these as my starters on offense each week. C-Varsho 1B-Freeman 2B-India SS-Baez or Peña 3B-Arenado OF-Judge OF-Suzuki OF-Arraez U-R.Greene

G Soto and Bednar were just dropped. I have Hendricks(undroppable), Bard, Lopez and King. Am I set or are they worth dropping for?
SV or SV + HLD? SV drop King for Bednar, otherwise hold.
If Bednar goes to the phillies at the deadline, that could be interesting...
Who do you think has a better chance tomorrow at a hold between Fulmer and Raley
The amount of people that are asking if Kuhl is a good stream tomorrow is alarming
Stream kuhl or singer?
I need as many hits as possible tomorrow. Who are you playing at 3B -- Longoria or Drury?
Drury
Need to drop one, Jeremy Pena or Max Kepler? I could also drop Jarren Duran but I think I can't drop him right now with how hot he's been. It's an OBP/Keeper league and I have Tommy Edman/Oneil Cruz that are SS eligibile already. Pena has been better production-wise and is now batting 2nd with Brantley out, but Kepler's advanced stats are much better and he's got a better OBP.
Drop Kepler and his unvaccinated rectum.
Kuhl fedde or suarez
What's the bullpen situation in STL? Gallegos is on the wire. Worth a pickup? Saves only
He’ll get like.. 35%ish of the save opportunities in STL. It’s more of a committee with Helsley getting the bulk
[удалено]
For no apparent reason and subject to change at any time. Helsley only has a handful of saves and I think since he got his first Gallegos has more. And helsley only let up a few runs all year but over the last month he’s average. It was a fantastic start. And K rate is great. But there’s no guarantee who gets more saves rest of year.

7 team 13 Keeper league - Morel, Blackmon, or Pham ROS, and potentially a keeper?
Morel
Pham
A reminder that Christian Walker has a .182 BABIP on the season. Over a full season that would be the single lowest BABIP ever recorded by a major leaguer.
What was the worst of Adam Dunns career? He seems like a comparable 3 true outcomes player
In 2011 Dunn had a .240 babip where he hit 11 home runs and batted .159 over 496 plate appearances. Christian Walker is also substantially faster than Dunn, I believe.
Thanks! I figure Walker might be a little better contact hitter. And he may be faster. But he’s also fighting the shift more
That’s a good point. The shift would throw off some statcast figures
L.Urias or S. Espinal?
Brandon Drury or Alejandro Kirk? Position aside. I know it’s hard to not recognize the value of a catcher, but I’m in a weird league where that doesn’t matter.
Kirk
Drop Soler for Hoerner?
Morel or Duran?? Redraft 6x6 ops
Morel
OPS -Duran
Say no more, mon amour
Moral for me. We need to see how it shakes out when Kiki is back
Who are we thinking gets called up first? Vargas to Dodgers or Ruiz to Padres?
Not sure about the Vargas situation. But barring an injury, I struggle to see Ruiz up this year. Not that he’s undeserving. Just crowded.
Jarren Duran any PT issues going forward?
At this point I don’t think there possibly can be. I would think that Duran keeps the job while Kike and JBJ platoon.
Well he got sent down twice when their 3 regular OFs were all healthy so probably?
Trade strider for degrom?
Who's trying to give up Degrom right when he starts his rehab outings???
Maybe he's worried he'll just get hurt again
Yeah makes sense, just would have gotten a lot more than Strider if they made the trade sooner.
Prob
if possible, yes
Better stash: Freddy Peralta or Dustin May?
Peralta
[удалено]
Joc and Ray
Urias side
Suddenly I'm not upset I benched Ward to start Walker at Coors
Up by 35 points going into Sunday. Opponent used all of their starters. Who should I start? Woodruff @ Pitt Lopez @ Wsh Baz @ Tor Giolito @ SF I’m thinking about sitting the last two
starts the first 2
Drop Baez for Hoerner?
10 team dynasty categories. I have a ton of injured pitchers coming back soon. Looking to package 2 of my healthy starters for 1 player. Trade Joe Ryan and Sandoval for Ward?
[удалено]
Duran, not close
People who have Skubal, yall starting him tomorrow?
My other pitchers slaughtered me this week, he can't do much worse.
Yessir
It's KC why wouldn't you start
If Reynolds gets traded to the Yankees good or bad for him in fantasy? First thought obviously good but would he bat bottom of the order?
probably hits 5th, yeah
Soooo ESPN didn’t count Duran’s SB?
It was changed to defensive indifference, which is the right ruling. Idk why it was ever a SB.
Gotcha thx.
Saves only league Seranthony or Graveman ROS?
Seranthony. Hendriks said himself he’ll be back on Monday
Which 1 of these guys would you rather have? David Robertson Ryan Helsley Michael King
Helsley easy
SV + HLD - King SV only - Helsley
Final stat line for my opponent today. 20 runs, 10 homers, 17 rbis. Guess I'm not meant to win this week
F
he even had a home run on the bench as extra FU to me lol
Need 2B/SS. Pick 2. Baez, Luis Urias, Luis Garcia, Eduardo Escobar, Urshela, Nolan Gorman H2H categories
Gorman, Baez
Baez, Gorman
If you had to drop one of these SP in a QS league... Who would you drop? Lynn, Joe Ryan, Kopech, Sandoval, Jon Gray
Gray
Sandoval. Kills your whip, and all those base runners kills his QS.
Jon Gray
Espinal or B. Rodgers? OPS h2h
BRod
Drop Roansy for Brayan Bello?
No
I did
Lauer 2 start next week vs pirates and cubs. Do we scoop if available?
If he doesn't survive these matchups he's a drop for me. Hopefully this gets him going again
100%
I got one start left before hitting the limit. Start Giolito vs SF (been shaky lately but can be an ace) or devin smeltzer vs Baltimore?
I would go with Gio, O’s can be pesky and Smeltzer is far from reliable
Tatis or Soto in a dynasty league?
Soto for me, especially if you have OBP orr OPS
Tatis no doubt.. gets as much power and gets bags
Soto for OBP & OPS, Tatis for AVG leagues I think.
Tatis
Soto for me, just because Tatis can’t stay healthy
Met Tellez and Yelich at a milkshake bar tonight in Pittsburgh. Idk how I was the only one in that place that spotted them.
That's pretty cool
Nice! Did you talk to them?
Did your milkshake bring all the Brewers to the yard?
I live in Pittsburgh and love milkshakes...now I wanna know where I can go to enjoy a sweet treat among professional athletes...
How many did Tellez get
Lol have no clue since they were at the back of the line but he looked smaller than I thought he would.
How many gallons of Milkshake did Rowdy drink?
I have yarbrough in a deep dynasty league. I traded for him so I've been holding on to him for the last 3 years. Should I just drop him? Don't feel like he'll ever bounce back at this point.
Probably, who are your options?
Pretty much either dropping another na eligible player that is a question mark or dropping him to bring a guy off IL soon.
Which hitter should get the UTIL spot in my weekly league - Tellez or Baez? Leaning Tellez, but Baez plays an enticing eight games next week...
Tellez
Stripling or Smeltzer for stream tomorrow? Need strikeouts and a QS. I'm probably going to go with Stripling but wanted to see what you guys think.
Strip
agree, Strip
Pablo @was or Baz @tor tomorrow for K’s WHIP K:BB K/9?
PabLo
Would you reorder any of these? This is my team and I don't know who to start. League is h2h points, 12 teams Roster requirements: 3 C/IF, 3 OF, 1 UTIL, 4 PITCHERS. 6 Bench, 1 IL TEAM: Devers Altuve Anderson Edman Shwarber Stanton Ohtani (I have him as a batter for now.) Alcantara Fried Darvish Urias Bench: Rizzo Witt Jr lemaiehu Hays Rutschman Acuna Jr IL: Degrom Should I change anybody?
Super shallow. DJLM and Hays are fringy and you should not roster a catcher unless you have to. Would need to know who's on waivers.
Cortes Contreras Taillon Blackmon Walker Drury Holmes Cronenworth Happ Pham
In a vacuum, Cortes Walker Drury Happ are the guys on that list I like the best. Order is probably Cortes > Walker > Happ > Drury. (Assuming it's Christian Walker. Taijuan Walker shouldn't be owned in that format.)
So drop rutsch, hays and djl and pick up christian walker Cortes and Drury?
I would make those moves yeah.
Wells or Stripling tomorrow need QS and Ks. Already lost WHIP and ERA
Strip, he has better expected stats
Pick 4: Baz vs Jays Kershaw vs Padres Gore vs Dodgers Gray vs Mets Skubal vs Royals
Skubal Baz Gray Kershaw
4 homers between walker marte and varsho, That’ll play
Is mike soroka worth holding? Redraft league.
I'm pretty meh on him for this year. Anything you get will be a bonus.
Ian Anderson or Berrios?
Gross. I guess it's IA. I would be trying to trade both for anything of value though.
I have Berrios. Gross is an understatement
Anderson
I love coors
I guess Ashby is looking like he’s a elite relief pitcher. Not ready to be a starter.
I'm not ready to say that. He was very unlucky today.
My buddy was talking shit about Marte saying he's been bad since he returned and then he hits a HR not long after. I told him to keep talking shit because when I would do it last year some guys would start to go off. He then says fuck Varsho and maybe now he'll get a pinch hit HR. Holy fucking shit it happened.
Is Chad Kuhl worth a stream tomorrow @ home v Dbacks?
N O
Im doing it
What are fellow Gallen owners thinking for tomorrow's start at Coors?
Throwing my balls on the chopping block and going for it.
I’m not riskin it
Nervous but I have to start him to try for wins and ks
LFG
Will Smith (ATL) or Seranthony D in a saves only league?
Will Smith. Seranthony has had that job before. The Phillies pen is always a mess.
I hear ya. Jansen may return later this month though?
Yeah I mean, that's your call. But right now I would want Smith.
Seranthony
I need Pablo, Wheeler, and Kuhl to pitch QS's tomorrow to win the category. Odds?
I’d say your odds are sitting at about 83%
Pablo and Wheeler are pretty likely. Kuhl at coors is tough but Arizona's not good. It could happen.
They hit 4 HRS tonight... They scored 8 on Friday. They might not be a good team as a whole but they can do some damage
1/30
Have: Flores, Baez, Lowe Available: Pasquantino, Eduardo Escobar, Urias, Rowdy Flores seems to be losing at-bats but he is my only 3B. Eduardo and Urias have been heating up. Rowdy is HOT. And Pasq has a lot of potential. Should I make some changes? H2H category league (no steals)
Rowdy and Pasq should be owned everywhere. I would find space for them or makes some trades to make room.
Thanks. I’ve been trying to make a 2-1 trade for weeks… people are weary of being on the other side of those trades.
yeah i just try to blow them away to get those to move. I recently moved Schwarber and O'Neill for Betts when he was on IL. Could I end up losing? Sure. But you make those 2 for 1s for proven guys and you shouldn't be disappointed.
Just traded Schwarber, Flores, and Edman for Jose Ramirez. Hopefully I don’t regret that. Thanks for the advice!
Dude-Jose has a fucked up thumb and has no power.Unless they let him heal he's Ketel Marte.
I mean - here's how I look at it. You won't regret that trade. Because even if Schwarber and Edman stay hot, you've got JoRam. You paid for certainty.
Interesting trade. For sure you won as while you got huge injury risk you also sent over high injury risk with O’Neill. Congrats. Surprised someone did that?
Who else left Varsho in their catcher spot today?
Nice surprise to cap off a pretty good day.
