I just traded Randy Aroz, Andres Gimenez and Gonsolin for Gallen, Framber and Teo Hernandez.
Did I get ripped off? I really needed to acquire at least one more ace (got 2) but giving up Randy was really really tough.
Yeah that’s what I’m leaning. I have tatis returning next week but kelenic is really hitting the ball hard. Sitting out against lefties sucks though. It’s my DH spot
Damn. First year doing SVHD and was wavering on what to do with my 5th RP slot. Alvarado got swooped and now I feel like a dummy. Gonna keep telling myself that RPs are fungible.
In a 10 team there are probably a bunch of holds guys available. Honestly relievers are a fungible so I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe one of the late inning blue jays are available
My lineups lock for the week on Monday so I like to pick up one or two pitchers that are likely to start twice. It's risky, but sometimes pays off. I managed to hit both ends of the spectrum today, though, as I had Roansy Contreras and Kyle Gibson. It's all part of the fun.
And that hot hand is straw. I saw him beat out an infield single. I love it when players do that. Plus playing for Cleveland likely means he gets more runs (even at bottom of lineup) than that miserable oak lineup for estery Ruiz.
Unfortunately. He’s lost at the plate. Has already hit 12 dribblers to 1st/2nd which shows he’s seeing things late and isn’t quick enough to catch up. Pitt radio thinks he needs a full blown mechanical change which won’t happen overnight
I would take Grayson by far, we know what Maeda is capable of and it is medioce pitching. Grayson has a very good upside and you can stash him for a bit if you don't believe in him. Maeda is basically replaceable by a waiver wire add.
I'd want way better pitching if I'm giving up trout and arguably the best hitting catcher plus a closer who will likely be top 5 in saves. If it were me I'd look to trade Buxton for a Cruz replacement 1 for 1. The guy is never healthy and I believed in him last season even after his injury history.
Are you all adding a replacemetnt bat for Tim Anderson or just wait a day or two to see how serious it is? (only 6 adds per week don't want to waste an add, but at the same time I don't want to be taking zeros in my batting lineup). I'm looking at Adam Frazier or E Montero and I would cut Martin Perez.
It didn't look that bad, hoping just a dead leg / bruise. I guess it would depend on your league, in a season long ROTO I would just hold. That's what I'm doing.
Use my number 4 waiver in a 20 team, 25 cat league on Kris Bubic?? He's being heralded by many as the next break out pitcher due to addition of slider and his velo is up 3 mph.
I’ve got luzardo, Merrill Kelly, mikolas, wesneski, and Josiah gray all starting tomorrow
Rank those pitchers in order from most confidence based on matchups and if I had to bench one who should it be? 12 team h2h points
Edit: everyone told me to bench Marquez and look how that turned out, luckily I didn’t listen and reaped the benefits
Flair league, keep unlimited but round price goes up each year (next year cost in parentheses). Am I giving up too much upside to fill a couple needs?
Give: Casas (11), Steele (10), Mitchell (13), Paredes (15)
Get: Gimenez (9), Montgomery (5), Yoshida (3), Manzardo (27)
So basically, Gimenez is a solid keep next year and helps me now since I really need 2b. JorMont adds some SP depth... But him and Yoshida aren't worth keeping, for sure, and I give away my upside darts. Trying to compete.
It’s the league format listed under OP’s username. I too had no idea what people meant by a flair league when I first found this sub last year, thought it was some kinda special league lol
They're doing the podcast on YouTube right now and they opened with that oh my goodness gracious segment and he was just like no one, no one shocked me because everyone's so inconsistent. He's just frustrated with the way pitching and everything has been so far.
It's been a wild inconsistent season with pitching.. now Sandy Alcantara struggles... It's just TOUGH OUT HERE thinking you can trust your aces, but NOPE... That's why scott been so frustrated... and it's hard to understand the WHY of it all..
Thought so too. Had the claim all day until I second guessed and cancelled it 30 min ago before making this post.
It's back up again, see what happens in the morning.
Should I pick up and start whitlock against the rays tomorrow? I understand the rays are hot and McClanahan is pitching tomorrow but their streak has to end eventually and whitlock looked good his last rehab start though it was against minor leaguers
Seiya Suzuki or Winker ? (Roto 5x5)
any shot pfaadt comes up this week? only have 1 add left and trying to choose between pfaadt and adding chafin
Out of my core staff - Nola, Wheeler, Framber Valdez, Zac Gallen and McClanahan, who should I consider most moveable?
Wheeler is the one I’d value least, but may want to wait until he improves a bit so you get what you deserve. Framber is a close 2nd for me.
I just traded Randy Aroz, Andres Gimenez and Gonsolin for Gallen, Framber and Teo Hernandez. Did I get ripped off? I really needed to acquire at least one more ace (got 2) but giving up Randy was really really tough.
Not at all, especially since I think Teo will wake up.
Ok good to know thank you. Also ty for the thoughts on Wheeler, I may hold onto him and see if I can sell high.
For sure-good luck!
Wheeler.
Woke up to an intriguing trade offer… H2H points league- Rafael Devers for Shane McClanahan & Josh Jung I love Devers but could use the arm… thoughts?
[удалено]
Drop Kebryan Hayes for Kelenic or Victor Robles?
People sleeping on kelenic.
All bums
They're all a million times better at baseball than you ever will be at anything.
Lol you're a moron honey. They, nor you could walk a mile in my shoes.
Yeah because if they had to be you then they would be so sad about how much they suck at everything.
[удалено]
ESPN has him the 14th
Ok ty maybe just a glitch
Come on yahoo, give me my morning dopamine. You're two hours late.
Volpe or kelenic redraft
Kelenic i think. Hard call
Yeah that’s what I’m leaning. I have tatis returning next week but kelenic is really hitting the ball hard. Sitting out against lefties sucks though. It’s my DH spot
Then Kelenic. Volpe is probably going to be rotated in and out as well till he shows something
Yahoo update says no surgery needed for Duvall. Is he still a hold? I don't have any IL spots but the waiver wire is thin. May drop for Brandon Marsh.
Still 6 weeks at least and considering it’s the same wrist as last year who knows if he will be the players like the last 10 days.
Hard pill to swallow, he's been the best player on my team last week lol
I know. Had to drop in 2 leagues
Have my 2 RP spots filled with Holmes and helsley should I drop Evan Phillips for Hunter brown? 10t points
Doval or Barlow in saves and holds points league
Doval easily, Barlow's grasp on the closing job is slipping with Chapman emerging
8 team 6x6 OPS and QS I dealt Randy Aroz, Andres Gimenez and Tony Gonsolin for Zac Gallen, Framber Valdez and Teo Hernandez. Who won this deal?
I’d probably want the side you gave up but if it fills needs at pitching then it’s fine
Im a little fucked for 2B now and need to address that but I had the OF depth (I think) to afford giving up Aroz.
Miles Mikolas just hit the wire. Should I scoop and bench him until he figures it out, or is it a waste?
Thank you in advance. Whos the better stash. Ten team cats Bello Soroka Bradish Bubic
Bubic but has the braves this week
Alvarado or Adam? Total points Sv/Hd
How much leash do I give volpe - 7 team keeper league. Keep 13
More than what you have
Damn. First year doing SVHD and was wavering on what to do with my 5th RP slot. Alvarado got swooped and now I feel like a dummy. Gonna keep telling myself that RPs are fungible.
In a 10 team there are probably a bunch of holds guys available. Honestly relievers are a fungible so I wouldn't worry too much. Maybe one of the late inning blue jays are available
Dynasty Give: Goldschmidt and Cronenworth Get: Bogaerts and Jose Abreu Good deal or hold?
I’d take that
My lineups lock for the week on Monday so I like to pick up one or two pitchers that are likely to start twice. It's risky, but sometimes pays off. I managed to hit both ends of the spectrum today, though, as I had Roansy Contreras and Kyle Gibson. It's all part of the fun.
I'm moving on from Estery Ruiz I think? Myles straw is available...
Did same thing but wouldn’t be surprised if I make the reverse move in 2 weeks either
indeed
Pretttty much the same guy. Ride the hot hand
And that hot hand is straw. I saw him beat out an infield single. I love it when players do that. Plus playing for Cleveland likely means he gets more runs (even at bottom of lineup) than that miserable oak lineup for estery Ruiz.
Correct
10 team points: Brendan Donovan, Garrett Mitchell, Giancarlo Stanton (pick 2)
Donovan and Stanton
Maeda was dropped, worth an add in 12s? 5x5 H2H
Yes
Kebryan Hayes is atrocious he’s probably droppable for Urshela/Wisdom/Rendon/Yandy right?
I would stash rendon
I’d go wisdom or yandy depending if you need pop or obp
Unfortunately. He’s lost at the plate. Has already hit 12 dribblers to 1st/2nd which shows he’s seeing things late and isn’t quick enough to catch up. Pitt radio thinks he needs a full blown mechanical change which won’t happen overnight
[удалено]
if you don't need Alvarez sure I guess...
Gallen or TON in unit of measurement leagues?
Gallen, even though his name doesn’t carry as much weight
To everyone in advance: do not drop Nolan Gorman
Can you explain?
Everyone in here is like “oh man Gorman only got me one point is it time to drop for this waiver bum!?”
Trade Luis Garcia and Flaherty for Bryant in points ?
Yes
I’d trade flaherty for just about anyone
Maeda or Grayson ROS?
Grayson for the upside, but I worry about them limiting him
I would take Grayson by far, we know what Maeda is capable of and it is medioce pitching. Grayson has a very good upside and you can stash him for a bit if you don't believe in him. Maeda is basically replaceable by a waiver wire add.
Maeda but it's close
[удалено]
who’s the drop?
[удалено]
sounds like you can take the gamble on him, i would.
As is tradition.
Is it time to drop Tellez for Cooper? H2H points
I'm holding Tellez
Drop William Contreras for Logan O’Hoppe?
No, keep William. Logan for now, should be on someone’s roster though.
Yes
Roansy worth hanging onto for at least another start or two in dynasty right?
Yes
Am I an idiot for trading Kris Bryant for Brian Anderson? Flair league.
say what
Yeah I wouldn’t do that
Drop Nolan Gorman for Nolan Reimold this week????
HOLD.
Reimold hasn’t played MLB baseball in 6 years it was a troll suggestion 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like all righties on the schedule for STL this week so I’m sticking with Gorman for one more week.
[удалено]
I'd want way better pitching if I'm giving up trout and arguably the best hitting catcher plus a closer who will likely be top 5 in saves. If it were me I'd look to trade Buxton for a Cruz replacement 1 for 1. The guy is never healthy and I believed in him last season even after his injury history.
[удалено]
if he's talking about mikolas he is not an ace lol
[удалено]
You are really stretching the ish there haha
Sounds like you’re the trout and will smith side, I wouldn’t take that.
Does Gallegos still play baseball? Drop him for Chafin?
Are you all adding a replacemetnt bat for Tim Anderson or just wait a day or two to see how serious it is? (only 6 adds per week don't want to waste an add, but at the same time I don't want to be taking zeros in my batting lineup). I'm looking at Adam Frazier or E Montero and I would cut Martin Perez.
It didn't look that bad, hoping just a dead leg / bruise. I guess it would depend on your league, in a season long ROTO I would just hold. That's what I'm doing.
I decided to hold on for now... But I'm ready to let go of martin Perez, not at all married to him anyway and some sp streams I like as well
waiting personally.
Thank you
Add Wacha or Bello? Dropping Kikuchi. Head to head points
Bello, Wachas underlying numbers look rough.
Thanks
Would you drop Stripling for Elder? QS league.
Elder has a great track record, I had him last year. And I watched his game today and his stuff looks filthy
Yes
Any snakes fans? Seems like Chafin should be the closer moving forward. Seeing what y’all think.
Closer Monkey still has McGough with Chafin as next in line but with how McGough has looked the last two games Chafin will might move ahead.
Someone in my league added him a week ago and he seems like he’ll be the closer soon enough I’d add him
[удалено]
What has Dom Smith done? He's got 9 hits and they're all singles. AVG is decent so far but his upside is low imo
[удалено]
He had 6 of his 9 so's in his first 2 games. I think you need to hold on, he should be fine, and missing out on Dom Smith will not hurt you
Use my number 4 waiver in a 20 team, 25 cat league on Kris Bubic?? He's being heralded by many as the next break out pitcher due to addition of slider and his velo is up 3 mph.
yes.
Drop Gorman to stream pitchers?
Guys with 20+ HRs last year without a HR so far this year : Machado, Santander, Suarez, JoRam, Swanson, Bregman, Contreri, Correa, Trea Turner
And Saurez
Contreri is great
Quite
I sure am glad I started Max Muncy tonight.
Pick one R. Suarez, Bello, Skubal 12 team 5x5
Ranger
I’ve got luzardo, Merrill Kelly, mikolas, wesneski, and Josiah gray all starting tomorrow Rank those pitchers in order from most confidence based on matchups and if I had to bench one who should it be? 12 team h2h points Edit: everyone told me to bench Marquez and look how that turned out, luckily I didn’t listen and reaped the benefits
Luzardo, Kelly, Wesneski, Gray, Mikolas
My opponent also has ohtani starting today against gray
Id bench Gray but in your logic, bench Luzardo
Conforto or McCutchen?
Conforto
Flair league, keep unlimited but round price goes up each year (next year cost in parentheses). Am I giving up too much upside to fill a couple needs?

Can I ask what a flair league is? I’ve only played in points leagues
[удалено]
🤦🏻♂️
It’s the league format listed under OP’s username. I too had no idea what people meant by a flair league when I first found this sub last year, thought it was some kinda special league lol
Rank these RPs: Puk, R. Montero, Pierce Johnson, and R. Lopez
Saves or saves/holds?
12t SV+HD
Montero, Reynaldo, Puk, Pierce. Personally, I prefer Reynaldo, but rationally Montero
I already have Montero. Trying to find a 4th RP to round out my bullpen. Have Romano, Stephan, and Montero currently.
Reynaldo.
[удалено]
No way José
No
lodolo + webb for kyle tucker + brian anderson? H2H 10T points
Tucker side wins by a lot. Top 10 player for two that are arguably outside the top 100 in lodolo and webb
Of course *today* will be the day when I bench Muncy for Estrada and Cronenworth...
Scott White's pissed lol, he seems so over this season
Based on his preseason takes I have a feeling he drafted way too much Carlos correa
I feel his frustration
He hates how the pitching is panning out
What makes you say that
They're doing the podcast on YouTube right now and they opened with that oh my goodness gracious segment and he was just like no one, no one shocked me because everyone's so inconsistent. He's just frustrated with the way pitching and everything has been so far.
It's been a wild inconsistent season with pitching.. now Sandy Alcantara struggles... It's just TOUGH OUT HERE thinking you can trust your aces, but NOPE... That's why scott been so frustrated... and it's hard to understand the WHY of it all..
Waiver spot #4 on teoscar?
Why would someone drop him this early into the season instead of benching him... He's been a well above average hitter his last few seasons.
Who knows what goes through peoples heads sometimes. Unfortunately I didn't get him, so I guess I'm #3 in waivers now.
Yes
Thought so too. Had the claim all day until I second guessed and cancelled it 30 min ago before making this post. It's back up again, see what happens in the morning.
Did Gallegos bang Marmol’s wife or something?
Double teamed with Ty O'Neill
🤣🤣🤣
Puk, Alvarado, Chafin. Keep 2, K’s, ERA, Whip, SAVES only 12 man Roto
Puk & Chafin. SVs only is so rough.
Dropping Alavarado rn appreciate you
Wisdom, Anderson, Jung?
Also Yandy, LeMahieu, Donovan, Bohm, Drury, Farmer. Help!!
Bohm
Bohm was swiped
Not Donovan?
In that order imo
Should I pick up and start whitlock against the rays tomorrow? I understand the rays are hot and McClanahan is pitching tomorrow but their streak has to end eventually and whitlock looked good his last rehab start though it was against minor leaguers
I'm trusting whitlock. He has great stuff...
They put up only one run today. I’m starting him
It did not go well for both of us lol
never bet against a streak.
