A Duvall hasn’t looked this good since Popeye starring Robin Williams. You thought I was going Robert Duvall and I steered it into Crazytown with Shelley Duvall. By the way, don’t look at current pictures of Shelley Duvall. She’s a Shelley of her former self. I have a theory. She had to do everything just so for Kubrick in The Shining, to the point where she couldn’t even think for herself, then she started working with Robert Altman, who was like, “Do whatever you like, improv,” and going from one extreme to the other drove her crazy. I’d put money on it that this is the biggest update on Shelley Duvall you will ever get on a fantasy baseball website. Any hoo! The pros and consigliere for Adam Duvall. All he does is hit home runs, so a great supporting player that just melts into any role you need him in. Wait, that’s not Adam. Well, not entirely. The homers part was. And the Mac Sledge part. No, that’s the other Duvall again. You’d be hard-pressed to find a hotter hitter right now than Duvall and he can help The Family go legit. Again, wrong Duvall! Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
BUY
Travis d’Arnaud – Le Terminator has come from the future to stop you from owning bad catchers, and to hit home runs with Linda Hamilton in her trailer while James Cameron is yelling at the craft services lady.
Renato Nunez – I won’t bother linking to the Player Rater and saying how Renato has been better than players like Paul DeJong, Christian Walker and Eric Hosmer. Won’t do it. Sorry.
Danny Santana – By the time this posts, he might finally be owned in more than 50% of leagues, but, since he’s even near the threshold, I’m gonna list Dannys Antana anyway, just to point out how ludicrous you people are weighing me down that it feels like Altuve hanging from my necklace. Wait, that’s Ludacris.
Matt Thaiss – Serious question, did Rod Stewart predict Thaiss’s hot streak back in the 70’s with the song, Hot Thaiss? Or am I misremembering?
Bo Bichette – No one loves Boba Chette more than me. Okay, I lied. Teenaged Asian girls do, but they can drink 1,400 pounds of tapioca balls and cosplay at work. We all can’t be so lucky! Boba Chette should prolly be owned in 100% leagues already, and I considered making him the lede this week, but did you really want to read 450 words on Star Wars that was coming out of the bottom of your screen to an elaborately composed score? Damn, that does sound good. Bichette is likely just a 7/12/.265 hitter (for this year), but the Jays have moved him to leadoff and I love upside. And boba. Slup, slurp, snitches!
Tommy Edman – Since in my mind, I just went from Boba to Edamame, I think I might need a snack before finishing this post. *lowers goggles, dives into kiddie pool of Cocoa Pebbles and milk* Hey, how’d I become a contestant on Double Dare?
Travis Shaw – With the trade of Jesus (blasphemy!), Shaw could see some looks at 1st base, and he was my preseason MVP pick. I will now cackle-cry for 10 minutes. Also, I guess I can mention that Jesus Aguilar might be worth a look to see if the demotion of Lowe was smart (unlikely).
Miguel Sano – This is neither here nor there, but I found this interesting. Sano is owned in 30% of leagues and has been good for a few weeks. Josh VanMeter is already owned in 50+% of leagues and was good for about three days.
Johan Camargo – Just excited to finally see Camargo get some swings, which is different than Wade Boggs wanting to see Camargoadams and some wings.
Brian Anderson – Always wanted to do a sociology study on whether people are less likely to pick up a player if the player has a boring name like Brian Anderson. Too bad sociologists are all busy with the high-paying jobs of pretending to be homeless for sociology studies.
Tesocar Hernandez – I own Teoscar in a shallow league, because he’s facing the Orioles and their pitching–Excuse me, Steve Wilkerson did look decent on the mound. I bet the Hittertron likes Teoscar too like it enjoys long walks on the beach so it can get rust in its cracks and feel that auburn tingle.
Oscar Mercado – Been saying to pick him up since June. Y’all’s reaction times are like that of a slug. Escargetgoing! You can have that, Highlights Magazine, if you want it.
Trent Grisham – Prospect Mike just gave you his Trent Grisham fantasy. It was written in a courtroom where Matthew McConaughey played an almost credible attorney.
Ender Inciarte – Does everyone have favorite players that they like for irrational reasons? I’m not saying your true favorite player, like Trout or Scherzer. I mean, a guy you irrationally love more than you should. Ender’s mine. I think I like him so much because his last name seems complicated to pronounce and I can’t pronounce anyone’s name, yet I can say Inciarte. I told you it was irrational. Right now, there are actual rational reasons to like him too.
Willie Calhoun – Even though he has a clear path to playing time, I still think the Rangers are going to pull the rug out from under him and that rug ties the room together!
Dylan Bundy – Can’t believe I’m recommending an Orioles starter. I got me crackers in me head and it’s causing me to talk like a leprechaun! However, Bundy is a Streamonator call like the call it makes to homes in the Friendship neighborhood of Pittsburgh.
Drew Smyly – This is also a Streamonator call. “Hi, I’m calling for a friend. No, I’m not calling for someone else, I’m calling to request an actual friend.”
Archie Bradley – Member those days when managers would say so-and-so was the closer? That rarely happens anymore. I blame Kevin Cash. He made The Opener a thing, and teams were like, “If he’s not naming starters, I’m not naming closers, so there.” Do I think Bradley has the stuff to close? Yes. Do I think he’s absolutely the closer? I don’t have a Colonel Mustard. Sorry, shouldn’t have used this thesaurus for the word ‘clue.’ Also, since when did Hasbro start publishing thesauruses?
Justin Shafer – I love Shafer and think he could be the best became-a-closer-at-the-deadline closer. Was a closer in the minors; Giles has been dealing with arm issues for a while now, the Jays have no one else after Shafer that’s remotely worth trying as a closer.
Joe Jimenez – His 12.6 K/9 is gorge. His career 5.75 ERA in 123 2/3 IP is, well, something.
Jose Leclerc – As I get further into this shizzshow we call SAGNOF after the trading deadline, I’m starting to think I should’ve ranked the closers in this post. Or did I?! Damn, Reversal Question, you scared the crap out of me. Honestly, by the end of tonight’s games, the closer order might change. These last three closers are closers in name only and they’re not closers. You furrow your brow and, “Huh?” You follow, don’t be coy with your brows!
Anthony Bass – The M’s bullpen cologne, “Perfect when you have that sweet reek of desperation for saves.” Austin Adams could return soon and take the job and get maybe three saves.
Jose Quijada – This guy has a very closer-ish name. It’s Spanish for Joe Agita. What is more closer than that?
SELL
Ramon Laureano – We’re past the trade deadline, so now the Sells are not Sells as much as they are drops. They are still over 50% owned in ESPN. It’s ye olde cutoff! If you still have a trade deadline in the future… *wavy lines* Whoa, we’re in the future and this is a trade deadline in my fantasy league. *wavy lines* …that sounds like the worst vision of the future ever, but you can use the Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer. As for Laureano, we had a good run, but now he can’t run, so lose him.
Khris Davis – Maybe I’m reverse jinxing him here, but Davis has been miserable for the entire season. Let’s just compare Renato Nunez to Khris Davis from April 2nd until now. This is gonna be fun for Khris Davis owners! Khris Davis has 12 HRs since April 2nd and has one homer in July. Khris Davis only has 13 homers hit in this hemisphere. Since April 2nd, Renato has 24 homers. On the Player Rater, available for free at Razzball, assuming it’s free for you to click a link and the calories you expend are free, which they’re not, so HOW FREE IS IT?! Renato has been worth about the same as Rhys Hoskins this year, 15th overall 1st baseman. Khris Davis has been worth about the same as Pedro Severino and 300th overall. In case you’re just waking from a coma, “Hey, boo, your hair’s a mess. Also, Luis Severino did not change his name to Pedro Severino, and 300 overall is not good, so therefore, ergo, vis a vie, Davis has been a turd bucket.” If you can still make trades, try to move him. Would I give him for a free plane ticket if it meant sitting next to Kamala The Ugandan Giant? Yes, actually, where are we going, homeboy? If not, drop him.
Grey,
I just got a trade offer. Remember this is a keeper league. I will give you the salaries for this year/and the price to keep for 2020
I give up: Yandy Diaz ($5/$6, covered big time at the corners), Corey Seager ($39/$43, would leave me with Didi, Fletcher, and VanMeter at SS(at least this year)), and Buster Posey ($30/$33). I still have Garver, Sal Perez, and Realmuto to cover me at C.
I get: Jose Martinez ($25/$28), Adam Ottavino ($27/$29), Yu Darvish ($30/$33)
It gives me the arm i am looking for.
I am also talking to some other owners to try and get either Zack Wheeler, deGrom, German, or Gallen (The guy with Gallen wants Luis Roberts in any deal, so I dont think that will happen).
What do you think? Make the deal?
Please rank these closer ROS-
Liam
T. Rogers
W. Smith
@Grey: weekly roto redraft. How do you rank these for bench bats? Odor, Grisham, Diaz and Duvall.
Thanks!
Hey Grey,
Do you like isan Diaz over Kingery , Lourdes or franmil? Thanks!
i wouldn’t think so
drop vargas or junis to activate turnbull in 20 team dynasty with QS
Grey, Diaz promoted by Miami.Sorry if i havent seen a post of him by you. What do u expect from him ?
Grab him, good power, cut his Ks in the minors this year
I did thank you
Big trade question. I’m leaning toward rejecting it unless you tell me I’m crazy.
I’m in first place in our 14-team 5×5 weekly roto. It’s also a “2-year” keeper league so it is trade dump time for some and go for it time for others.
HR – 2nd
OBP – 3rd
R – 1st
RBI – 2nd
SB – 3rd
WHIP – middle of the pack but it’s close
SVS+HD – 5th
QS – tied for 2nd – 1 behind 1st
K – 3rd
ERA – 5th but it’s close
I’m offered a huge list of stars. There are non-keepers Gleyber Torres & Jose Ramirez along with virtual “non-keepers” or really expensive keepers in
$36 Corey Kluber, $42 Giancarlo Stanton, $46 Max Scherzer, $30 Charlie Blackmon and $37 Aaron Judge
for
$5 Victor Robles, $5 Eloy Jimenez and $2 Vladimir Guerrero
My non-Catchers are Freeman, Murphy, Devers, Turner, B.Dozier, Vlad, Acuna, Cain, Robles, Trout, Upton, and Eloy J.
It is a big trade offer but basically, I would probably replace Brian Dozier with Torres and J-Ram would fill Vlad’s CI spot. Blackmon and Judge would replace Robles and Eloy J.
Pitching staff regulars are Bauer, MadBum, Flaherty, Keuchel, Fried, and Hand/Hendriks/Oberg/Bradley for RPs. I have been streaming 1-2 SP spots per week. Obviously Kluber & Scherzer should help…but will they be enough?? My offense might be good enough and this trade doesn’t exactly blow me away with pitching even though it includes Kluber and Scherzer.
Decisions, decisions…
So, you’ll get Blackmon and Judge and a bunch of broken stars? Pass for me, dawg
Thank you for confirming my gut.
Pass…
Yup
Grisham, Odor or Profar? 14T obp at UTIL
Thanks
Odor
Damn – first Sam Dyson and now Shane Greene with sucking on new teams? Might be a good idea to keep holding Chris Martin
Yeah
soylent greene sure took a long time to notice it’s the 2019 season. not good for me in NL only where i won him in FAAB bidding since i had no saves all year (did add jarlin lately too along with urias/baez/greene in 4 RP slots, and holds here too). c.martin owned now too.
Yeah, sucks
in some other saves only leagues i F’d up not noticing that oberg has that job for sure now (wade still should be getting leverage on the road, he’s been awesome on the road, like a .7 or something on road vs above 7 at home); could’ve added oberg in at least one other league rather than stick with the basses/jarlins of the world. oberg def NOT available in this NL only, has been owned for months of course.
A) Talk about demotion; Davis pitching in the 6th.
B) Yikes Shane Greene! – Kaaaboooommmm!!
B. Blech
Fave start next week
Vargas @ ARI
Smyly & SF
Rey-Lo vs OAK
Kelly vs Phi, @LAD
Woj vs NYY
Nova @ Det,
Cease @ Det, vs Oak
Velasquez @ ARI, @ SF
ReyLo
Tough start for Smyly today. Do you trust him next week @ SF?
Barely
Hi Grey,
A) In my match up, we both have 46 IP and I am barely down in WHIP 1.20 to 1.16. I am ahead in Wins 4 to 3.
My Team: Corbin @ARI, and RPs Yates/Kimbrel. – Corbin vs. his former team could be a good start for him, even though the D-Backs destroy LHP.
His Team: Wainwright @OAK and RPs Doolittle/Vasquez/Greene. I think Wainwright is finally due to take a beating.
QUESTION: At a minimum, Corbin would need to allow a few less base runners, and a couple less runs in the same amount of innings. Would you Start Corbin, or just hope Wainwright implodes allowing me to secure Ws, ERA, and WHIP?
B) Looking at my hitting, would it make sense to add Quinn for his speed and drop Dietrich? Franco was demoted to AAA, meaning more starts at 3B for Kingery. Even if Quinn only gets 8 -10 ABs per week, that’s gotta come with 1 – 2 SB attempts, right? I have power, but one more guy that could steal bases would be better than Dietrich’s power bat. The only problem I see is that I have a 4th Philly; Probably not the worst thing though.
Much Appreciated!

*Fingers Crossed on sitting Corbin and Waino getting lit. Syndergaard brought his team’s WHIP down from 1.28 to 1.18. He’s been light’s out lately.
Corbin’s rocky already (which sucks for me)
That does suck!
With Voit going down , who do you prefer as a stop-gap replacement? Here’s what’s available on waivers:
CJ Cron
McMahon
Niko Goodrum
Matt Carpenter
C Walker
Marian Gonzalez
Carp
Which closer would you rather have? Bradley or Hendriks?
Liam
Grey,
I am looking for a bat. who should I pick up
Gardner
Enciarte
Duvall
Yaz
Duvall
Duvall or Ender depends on needs
power and speed im looking for
Ender
ok thanks
are any of them better than Vanmeter
Yes
so which two should pick up if I am dropping vanmeter?
Duvall, Ender
ok thanks again buddy. So drop VanMater and pick up the 2 OF from Atlanta (Duvall and Enciarte)
Yes
No problem
Have Dahl & Voit occupying DL slots. Thinking of dropping both & replacing with Manaea & Brandon Lowe. Recommendations or other ideas?
Sounds fine if likely inconsequential
Monday. Odorizzi vs Atl; and Samardzia vs Wash. Would you start none; one; or both?
Home? Both
@Grey: thanks for the report on May. Love drunken Rudolph…
12 team weekly roto. You taking a shot at starting VV with two starts (@ ari, @ sf)?
Nope
Would you add any of the following over Diaz
Jimenez
Bradley
Bass
Pagan
Anderson
Bradley
Would appreciate your thoughts on two offers:
Send Hader, get Encarnacion, Schwarber, Carrasco. Only Edwin really interests me of that set, but which side are you taking?
Send Goldy (and a 12th round pick next year), get C. Santana, C. Smith, Soler, Miley. Not sure I can get them all, but that would be the target. Which side are you on?
For context, it’s a keep 10, 12 team league, players can be kept indefinitely. I am debating whether to buy or sell.
Thanks!
This trade is meant to help when? Edwin’s out for 6 weeks at least with a fractured wrist
Santana/Smith is solid for Goldy
Yes, sorry for not being clear, the first trade would be a sell move to help next year. Do you take Hader there or the other side, if I’m selling?
Along these lines
1) does this order look right ROS: C. Santana, D. Peralta, Semien, Soler, Inciarte, Castellanos, C. Walker, G. Cooper?
2) Keeper league, would you swap Verlander for Bauer?
Thank you.
1. Peralta is last 2. Verlander is better than Bauer
Thanks, otherwise list looks about right?
And Bauer is likely a top 15 pitcher next year, even if not better than Verlander, right?
Yeah and yeah
Take Edwin etc for next year
Hey Grey, can you rank the top 2 moving forward for me please, 5×5 shallow 10-teamer, just looking for overall value, no specific category need. Duvall, Braun, Odor, Santander, Vanmeeter, W Calhoun, Verdugo. Thanks Grey
Braun, Odor
Do you like Teoscar or Pence more in 14T bop?
Thanks
Neither? Pence
Grey,
This is my list of players on the IL:
Yandy Diaz
Salvador Perez (Keeping)
Nick Markakis
Rich Hill
Corey Kluber
Max Scherzer
Luis Severino
Jordan Hicks (keeping)
Corey Knebel (Keeping)
Jacob Webb
Do you agree that Hill should be dropped so that I can put Pineda on the IL?
Drop Hill
Do you see Julio Urias getting some starts down the road? Not sure if la rests some of there starters.
Prolly a few
Can Diaz get through one inning without giving up a HR? I think his hard hit rate is hovering around 45- 50% last I checked.
Would Archie Bradley, who’s had a great year so far, be better ROS for saves and ratios?
Probably
Ok….Bradley is FA in my league . Drop Diaz for him or no?
Yes
Haseley or Peraza?
Haseley
Grey,
I have no room on my injured list to put Michael Pineda on it. Would you drop Rich Hill to put Pineda on the list? Thanks as always.
Sure
With Voit and EE out, can we feel confident in Urshela being an everyday guy moving forward? I have to add a bat and am aiming for him, Gardner, Braun or Cron. Different things but could you rank these for best bet to contribute in September?
Let’s add C Walker and Odor to the list. Walks are a category and these two guys seems to do that. Odor’s sewage and Ks are frightening but I do recall his finish last year. Thanks amigo
Urshela should play — I’d go Braun
What’re you doing w/ EE in a 12T roto? Think he’s back in 3-5 or more likely a (fantasy) season killer?
Thanks
Nah, droppable
Hey Grey,
Great write up!
I’m in a 10 team, H2H, redraft, standard 5×5 category league. I’m in first most of the season and mostly planning for the playoffs.
I have Kingery and Franmil. Do you like any of these guys over them? Kingery has been killing me lately.
-Tauchman
-Duvall
-Odor
-Renato Nunez
-Mike Yastrzemski
-VanMeter,
-Vogebach
-Mazara
-Ender Inciarte
-Cavan Biggio
-Amed Rosario
Thanks!!
Hold
Here’s to all the owners who dropped Jackson (me included) and watched Greene blow his first Save opp, and Jackson swoop in for the W! Cheers!!
Haha
Drop Jimenez for Giles?
Sure
I think it’s safe to say we underestimated Sanchez. I’m grabbing him wherever I can.
Yeah, maybe
Need some help 12 team daily roster moves roto league 6×6 with holds and ops the extra categories. We use QS instead of wins.
I’m currently in first have 123 roto points. second has 106.5
I’ve given up on most starters as they have been so inconsistent and play a lot of relievers with SP eligibility to do well in holds, saves, era and whip and compete in K’s I have a staff of: Flaherty, Bieber, Paddack, Gallen, Lugo, C Mart, Urias, Pagan, Bradley, Kimbrel, Chapman, Jansen IL: Snell, Pressly, Carrasco.
I have a 12 save lead over second. Would you trade Kimbrel and Carrasco (Both $5 keepers next year only and I wouldn’t keep) for Sale?
Hmm….tough call, think I would but not start him against the Yanks
Will Smith, Vasquez or Omar? M’s have not been playing Omar much despite his succcess. Bad receiver. Smith full of hype but Dodgers live to shuttle guys around.
Smith
SAGNOF has failed me with Shafer
I know
nice bounceback from LeClerc tonight though
Yup
Hi Grey,
I’m following up from an earlier thread above, but there was no reply link. I ended up not doing the Musgrove for Wong deal since Musgrove is starting tomorrow, and I might need him. Today I added Bauer from waivers for Happ and Longoria for Aquino.
I was wondering if I should just roll with Musgrove and drop one of Hernandez/Quantrill for one of Quijada/Steckenrider as MIA’s closer role is up in the air. This would be instead of adding Baez. You wrote that you’d drop Quantrill over Hernandez, but he has a better schedule. Hernandez looked bad tonight.

Thank you Grey!
No problem
And…Aquino just hit a 2-run bomb.
Nice!
Hey Grey
Sanchez 6 no hit innings. Gets yanked after 92 pitches?
Yeah, it’s a lot of pitches for him
Jarlin the Marlin here in the bottom of the 8th of a tie game – based on usage, it looks like Quijada is the closer right?
Didn’t Quijada come in already?
aaahhhhhh i totally missed that in the box score – i thought Jarlin gave up all the runs
NL only 5×5 12 team keeper.. I have $22 left of the $50 I started with for free agent pickups..
I am not contending and have zero starting pitching or closers I would even think about keeping next year.
With all that said.. who should I bid on.. with an eye on keeping them at that price for next year $260 salary cap:
Stroman, Shane Greene, Bauer.. or Grisham or May.. at what keepable price?
Sure someone contending and needing saves (and with more FA$) could bid $40 on Greene and then need to buy them out at end of year..
but I am looking for next year.. what do you think?
I am thinking either bidding low on May and Grisham.. or throwing money at Bauer or Greene.
Vazquez and Hader will likely be the top closers to bid on next season.. likely going somewhere in the upper $20s
Not sure why you would get these guys by bidding low… Wouldn’t contending teams outbid you? I guess can try: Stroman (11), Shane Greene (6), Bauer (22).. or Grisham (1) or May (3)
I meant should I bid all $22 on someone like bauer.. or forget about trying to fox my pitching this year and just go low and bid on the prospects. May and Grisham. $5 is minimum bid so I’d likely go more on May
$5 is minimum? Not sure what kind of keeper he’s gonna be then… can you fix your pitching? You made it sound like a lost cause… if you can win, bid $22 on Bauer
Oh I am definitely out of it this year.. this would be to jump start next year. Bauer at $22 for next year or wait until the auction next year and start fresh.
Doesn’t hurt to take him and see if you want to keep him next year
Maybin or Piscotty ros?
Piscotty
I need 2 OFs. Buxton and Dahl are out (no DL slot). I’d like to cut Buxton, stash Dahl (until I’m sure his downtime is significant) and replace my bench bat (Semien) with a multi-position OF. So several decisions I’m requesting your help.
1. Cut Semien for either FLETCHER or Niko (which one? I assume Fletcher).
2. Cut Buxton for either SANTANDER, Braun, or Myers (which one? I assume Santander).
3. Or should I keep Semien and cut Dahl now?
2. Myers
3. Keep Semien
I need two OFs (Myers + 1). Of Fletcher, Niko, Santander, and Braun — which one.
Braun
Any idea what’s wrong with Sale?
I guess Rudy does these headlines? That is one creative dude. But no more so than you!
I did this title, Rudy’s out of country
Sale’s giving up way more HRs, so he’s not locating, it shows on his walk rate too
Also, Sale (segue!) is now officially garbage, right?
Officially
Also, Sale (segue!) is now officially garbage, right?
Yup, he’s garbage
I didn’t read all 17,000 comments so maybe this was covered already. Danny’s (autocorrected!!) is both a buy and a sell?
He is! He’s a sell for keepers, that’s what I say in the video
After this week, who would you drop for Wood?
Rey-Lo
Smyly
Luchessi
ReyLo
Would you prefer Quintana as your 7th starter down the stretch or Bradley as your 4th closer—have Osuna,Hendriks and Will Smith? I will be dropping Giles.
Jackie Bradley or Aaron Hicks ROS?
Thanks!
Quintana… Hicks
Who do you like in this keeper league trade – Alonso @ $11 or Adell @ $5? $ values increase every season by 25%
Alonso
Grey,
Sale just got lit up (8 ER in 3 2/3 IP). I wont make my inning requirements unless I pick a starting pitcher. Here are my choices:
Aaron Sanchez
Daniel Norris
Homer Bailey
Erick Feede
Dinelson Lamet
Who should I go pick up?
Leaning towards Sanchez.
Don’t know their matchups, but I guess Sanchez
Sanchez gets Seattle at home tonight
Norris 8/6 home vs CWS
Bailey 8/7 @ CHC
Feede 8/5 @ SF
Lamet 8/6 @ SEA
Sanchez sounds best
ok just picked him up. Thanks again.
No problem
Grey
Aaron Sanchez looks pretty good in houston
Would you drop Mondesi who is currently in my IL spot in order to put Dahl there, or would you drop Dahl to keep Mondesi on IL? Either way, I need to replace Dahl. Here are some names. H2H points
Franmil
Desmond
McMahon
Goodrum
Duvall
W. Calhoun
Ender
Thaiss
Odor
Thanks Grey
Drop Dahl
For whom?
ESPN says Dahl will be out “several weeks” ; unfortunately, I dropped Mondesi before I learned it wasn’t a simple 10 day issue. How confident (60/40?) are you that dropping Dahl is the right decision?
Seems fine… You can replace him off waivers, wasn’t like he was Trout
Sorry, Franmil
Thanks
No problem
My “steal” of Sale for my C Santana and Ramos is not looking great. At least I benched him.
Yeah, ouch
He gets Twins and Yankees in our first round of playoffs. Would you trade him for any of these guys (my playoff berth is secure)
Hamels, MadBum, Noah,Kershaw, Buehler? If so please rank. Thanks!
Yeah, Kershaw, Bum or prolly even Noah as a gamble
@Grey: 12 team weekly roto redraft. Thoughts on May after last nights start?
He runs like a drunk reindeer… But he looked okay, usual rookie hiccups, he might not be good until 2021, as with most SPs
Grey, util replacement for Dahl
Adamses, Goodrum or Yaz?
Yuck… I guess Goodrum
Haseley or Grisham In NL keeper league I’m trying to get a 4 peat in?
Grisham if he were playing
Who do you think puts up the better numbers rest of season between Eddie Rosario and Yordan?
Rosario
H2h 10-team NL-only. Playoffs start in 2 weeks. Drop Stripling or Jarlin?
My closers are Iglesias and Bradley. Deep pool of starters though Max and Ryu on DL but hopefully back by playoffs
Thanks!
Btw I’ve also got Buehler, Ryu and Madea … not sure if that influences whether I should dump Stripling vs Jarlin. Thanks
Why do you have to do this move now? I guess Jarlin
Trade deadline is tomorrow and I need to send one of these guys over to fit my roster
Was planning on sending over Cooper but then Dahl happened
Send Jarlin
Thanks!
No problem
Grey,
I am trying to acquire Will Smith but he wants Matthew Liberatore in the deal. Should I add him, or walk away?
Walk away
Hi Grey
the Dynasty trade went ON like this:
i give Pete Alonso (i still have Abreu 1B)
i get Encarnacion + BLAKE SNELL + Alex Young rookie P…
as i badly needed pitching (+ dropped Yamamoto)
i’ll need to get Bryan Reynolds soon on my team before the 90 games cap, or i may loose him : over Kris D ?
Lose Reynolds before Davis
Glorious stuff as always Grey! I have a trade question for a 12 team keeper AL only.
Got offered: Luzardo M7, Montas A2 for my Hunter Dozier B6, Yarborough B2… I love these guys like a fat kid likes Crisco but I’m in a rebuild so no brainer right? Even with Doz and Yarbs at decent keeper prices.
Thanks!
Thanks! Sure, Luzardo side
I really f$#%ing hate Steven Matz.
Me too
Danny Santana or DJ in a standard roto league?
Dannys
I thought for sure you were going with DJ.
At 28 years old, I guess Danny Santana is a late bloomer.
I almost went DJ but I don’t like him so much
Would you want Altuve or E. Rosario for counting stats ROS?
Altuve
damn it LeClerc – i guess a save is a save, but seriously giving up 2 hits, 2 walks, and 2 runs against the Tigers???
Yeah, he’s still a mess
Kingery or D. PERALTA to replace Dahl?
Kingery
Been offered Trea Turner or Vlad for Bieber. 5×5 12 team. Lost Dahl. Need all offensive categories. Eh?
Trea
I feel bad for David Dahl but I can’t feel bad for my fantasy team. There is always a 99% chance the Dahl’s season would end this way. You draft him with hopes that you will get the talent to go with that 1% he will hold up. That’s all there is to it.
Meh, to get to August feels like a win
Porcelain Dahl
Ha, yup
Injuries come in bunches man – first Laureano earlier this week and now Dahl with what looks like a bad ankle injury
Ugh
And now Contreras
Why is Law closing this out for TOR?
FFS.
Shafer wasn’t even warming up
Seriously FFS
I’m losing to some guy who’s not even looking after his team so I’m pissed off enough already!
Ha
SON was right on Paxton tonight. Sonnavabench! I think Paxton gets the O’s next so def rolling him out there for that one. This means Nunez is probably going to go 3-3 with 2 HRs and 5 RBIs
Was right on Matz too, stupid Matz
Matz is a homebody – i thought this was known?
Yeah, but the Pirates — ugh
Hi- keeper league, do you take Hader or Montas? Thanks.
Hader
In an NL 4×4
Have to replace Ross Stripling.
Who should I take Drew Smiley or Alex Wood?

Whatup G,
Would you offer Hicks and Choo for Wheeler in a K/9 league? My current OF is Acuna, Yelich, Conforto, and Domingo, with Hicks, Choo, and Vogelbach rotating in the Util spot. I don’t like having two bench bats but it’s where I’m at with Anderson coming off the IL. Trade Analyzer favors the hitter combo but given my needs I thought I’d ask. Being an OPS league I feel like I can get more value trading rather than dropping either of those dudes, plus Franmil is a FA currently. Staff is Bieber, Berrios, Marquez, S. Gray, Hendricks, Pineda, Hendricks, Martinez, and Oberg. Or would you offer one of those hitters and a pitcher for the likes of Gerrit Cole? Trying to sure up the squad heading into playoffs, sitting in first leading most hitting categories but lagging in pitching. Carrasco (prayers) on the IL has held back the staff a bit. I’ve asked a couple questions the last couple days so thanks in advance of your advice, you’re the best in the biz!
I’d take Wheeler…
