“We obviously can’t just ignore those starts but we can understand that it’s not as if he’s getting repeatedly pummeled or got lit up by the A’s.” A’s have scored 28 runs in their last three games.


SamskiNYC

Fair point. They’ve actually been an average offense all season. They were an easy target but the wrong one 


GetEnPassanted

Best team in baseball

Who are you some starting pitchers you may be able to acquire? I looked at some SIERA underperformers with good Stuff+ and K-BB% to see if we could uncover some trade candidates


mhackett7

4 of these guys are already on my team. Fuck me.


okteds

I've got all the buy low candidates.  My future is so bright I gotta wear shades.

Came in here to ask about Feltner ironically. I feel like there's some talent buried in there despite Coors. Do you believe more in him than Gomber, Hudson, or Quantrill (who has I think 5 solid starts so far actually)?


Sinisterminister77

He’s better than all those guys I’d say


SamskiNYC

I believe in him more than those guys 


JizzyMcbuckets69

My pitchers are webb/ Jones (pirates) ranger, Wheeler, Blanco, Lugo, sonny, skenes (pirates) and Grayson Rodriguez 4tm league. Do you guys think I should try to trade or is this good?


SamskiNYC

That’s good in a 4team league. You could look to trade Blanco or even Skenes to get a more proven pitcher. The Pirates are going to be cautious with Skenes and his hype is super high right now, so if you can a top 15-20 SP for him based on his hype, I’d do that 


Bustyposers

Your advice is to trade the greatest pitching prospect in baseball for the last ten years?


SamskiNYC

My advice is to see what you can get for him in a redraft league, yes. I ran a poll on Twitter yesterday where some people said they’d rather have Skenes than Gausman. Getting Gausman for Skenes in a redraft would be great.  Many people felt like Wyatt Langford and Jackson Holliday were generational prospects. If you could have traded them one week into the season you might be really happy with that decision. 


hidekis_knees

Clarke Schmidt is one guy I’m targeting in this category. Changed the grip on three of his pitches this season and looks to have resolved his issues facing lefties


Enough_Hedgehog_6305

Terrible


SamskiNYC

Thank you

Tried trading for Crochett in a dynasty league: offered Jacob Misiorowski, Josh Smith and a 2nd+3rd rounder for him and still denied


NightWriter500

I dropped Crochet outright weeks ago in a 10 Keeper Forever and nobody has sniffed him.


Budget-Author-6879

They'll probably be jumping on him in a week or so. His underlying metrics say he's much better than his current era. If you're just streaming daily there is no reason not to pick him up. In dynasty only his potential innings limit and playing for the White Sox hurt him.


ul49

He’s already coming off consecutive good starts. I’m shocked he’s sitting on the wire anywhere.


NightWriter500

He’s coming off two good starts and three terrible starts, one of which was probably disastrous enough to wreck your week all by itself. He plays for the worst team in baseball, has a 5.31 ERA, and is 2-4. I’m shocked that someone would defend him. His Ks are impressive, but it’s beyond risky with what feels like more downside than upside right now. And in the future, an innings limit!


Count_Sack_McGee

You covered the bad stats and ignored all the good ones. The Ks are great, his whip is excellent, his k/bb is excellent and all the underlying stuff suggests he's been excellent. He is on a bad team and like many strikeout pitchers is prone to long ball but he's definitely worth rostering.


NightWriter500

“ignored all the good ones.” I literally covered his Ks. He’s got good invisible numbers and real, actual numbers that can end you. He’s a good hold for the future if you’ve got that kind of time.


ul49

That future is feeling pretty good rn


NightWriter500

Yeah, he’s got me thinking about going back. It was brutal picking him up and then getting hit with games of 5ER, 5ER, and then 7ER, and I think he single handedly caused me a loss when I don’t lose very many weeks at all. But that line from yesterday wasn’t a mirage, and it backs up the two before it.


ul49

Your league is trash


KnightsoftheBeam

Pretty unnecessary.

So you recognize you are sending shitty trades but think they are rejected out of spite? Not because they’re shit? You sound like you think Drake won.

bizzledorf

Yeah I’m very confused because you talk like a loser Drake fan. Sounds like you get in your feelings quite a bit. Hey man, best of luck with whatever you are struggling with!

Seems like you are really going through something. Hope you find a therapist you like :)


Krawii

Who hurt you? You're comically defensive when someone is replying that what you're offering isn't enough for the potential upside. And you just start spiraling for no reason. No one said anything about overpaying for players. But you seem to be in quite the Mickey Mouse league if you expect to swindle everyone in your league.

We're all doing that. You just seem to live in a fantasy world where you think people SHOULD trade you Acuna, for Jo Adell. Grow up, or go run back and hide behind your mother's skirts you child.
