Arodys Vizcaino is out for the year. Backdate that to spring training when he was having arm issues. He needed to have his labrum fixed worse than an overworked gymnast. Filling in for him is the dumpster fire that is A.J. Minter. I’ve got a wild idea, hey, Braves, how about you sign Craig Kimbrel with the money you robbed from Albies? Here’s Albies agent before the signing, “Albies, sure you want to take this deal?” Albies replied, “Why are you asking, Al B. Sure?” Then they stared at each other for five minutes until Albies had enough and signed. The Braves’ bullpen is such a disarray of WUT, I don’t even know who their setup man is. I guess it’s the guy working the docks in The Wire, but it could be the guy whose name was Riddle, but, due to poor penmanship, became Biddle. A millennial just broke down my door and said, “It’s penpersonship.” My bad! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Kevin Gausman – 7 IP, 2 ER, 4 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 2.75. If Gausman is throwing his split-change more, than good things will happen. So, I went to look at the leaderboards for change and splitter and split-change and change-split, which was just a tutorial on how to split a check. Either way, I had to sort down to 10 IP to include Gausman. That’s how early it is. Although, he was near the top, so there’s promise here that I didn’t think he had two weeks ago.
Adam Jones – 1-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer, hitting .319. You know he’s a Zombino because he’s twelve-hundred years old and once dined with Charlemagne. You also know you’re going to have an impossible time holding him in a mixed league team.
Lucas Giolito – 2 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 5 Ks, ERA at 5.30. Per the Streamonator, Giolito was throwing a sparkler like Ben Franklin in his stars & stripes underwear until Giolito hurt his hamstring.
Tim Anderson – 1-for-2, 2 RBIs and his 4th homer, and ejected after being plunked for pimping his home run. All for hitters bat flipping, but when Tim Anderson, after his home run, pulled a VCR/TV combo onto the field and watched Derek Dietrich pimping his home run from two weeks ago, then ran around the bases, I thought it was too much.
Yoan Moncada – 1-for-3 and his 2nd steal, but removed from the game when the catcher beaned Moncada with a throw to 2nd. Okay, these beanball wars are out of control! There’s so many beanball wars going on I’m afraid the Pirates are gonna knock down Goodrum.
Brad Keller – 5 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners (4 BBs), 3 Ks, ERA at 2.64. Ironically, I look at Keller and I can’t see him on my teams. Ironically used in the American sense, as in not what irony is.
Hunter Dozier – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer, and his 2nd homer in three games and his 17th homer in the last week and my 408th mention of him in the last month and why don’t you want to pick him up? Are you afraid of success like your father says? Sit on my lap and tell me–Figuratively! Get off my lap, you weirdo!
Nick Pivetta – Optioned to Triple-A. Damn, right after I nicknamed him The Air Pump. Ya know, because when the opposing team is feeling deflated; don’t worry, here comes The Air Pump! Replacing Pivetta in the rotation is Jerad Eickhoff. That’s right, the Phils went from screwing us to a Jer-khoff. I like this Jer-khoff guy, but more for deeper leagues or streams. He’s around a 8.5 K/9, 3.2 BB/9, 4.15 ERA guy with some chance for upside.
Odubel Herrera – Out with a hammy. Or more accurately for ODB, a Hammy Hammy Ya.
Scott Kingery – 1-for-4 and his 2nd homer, and 2nd in as many games, hitting .480. Everyone wanted to own Kingery last year. Don’t believe me? Check your fantasy baseball diary you bought from Papyrus. What does it say around this time last year? Read it to me! You reading, “I’ve been having unclean thoughts about Scott Kingery. My mom wants to send me to a camp run by Kirk Cameron in Indiana. I’m worried they will try to change me. What do I do? I can’t just twirl my hair with my finger!” See? You loved him last year. Time to love him again.
Cesar Hernandez – 1-for-2 and his 2nd homer, hitting .237. Not great for Kingery’s playing time, but with Segura and now ODB out, Kingery should have some runway for at least the next few days.
Jake Arrieta – 8 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 2.25. Donkey Teeth asked on Saturday in his roundup about a glossary term for Zombinos that are pitchers (old pitchers who have a resurrection). Right now, Old Feller is in the lead. Suggest in the comments better ones. Don’t use Arrieta in the name.
Hector Neris – 2/3 IP, 0 ER (barely didn’t allow runs) and his 2nd save. Kapler can’t quit Neris. I don’t want to say Neris is even more locked into a closer role than, say, Brasier, but Neris kinda is.
Zack Wheeler – 7 IP, 3 ER, 8 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 6.35. Was definitely starting Zack Wheeler in Philly prior to Matz’s start, but then there was no way I could start Wheeler, which meant he was about to pitch well, and that was the reason why I started Wheeler in Philly. *massive exhale* It could’ve been worse.
Michael Conforto – 2-for-4 and a slam (5) and legs (2), hitting .324. How about that Michael Conforto sleeper post of mine! (Didn’t he get drafted in, like, the top 60? Sleeper?) Quiet, Parenthesis!
Nathan Eovaldi – 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 6.00 vs. J.A. Happ – 6 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 7.23. This matchup was billed as, “Well, that’s an easy two guys I can’t start in any league,” which was later renamed, “Sonavabench!” Bless your giant cojones if you started either guy, they are massive pants grapes. Both pitchers looked better (obviously), but marginally. Enough that I would hold them. Eovaldi looked particularly sharp varying velocity and location, whereas Happ stopped throwing his crap four-seamer after he was roughed up early and showed better results. Happ stays away from his once-great four-seamer, maybe he has a chance too. Hopefully, we don’t see his evil twin again, M.I.S.
Dustin Pedroia – Lasted about 46 innings before another knee injury. Even his Uncle Scooby would agree he’s toast.
J.D. Martinez – 2-for-3 and his 4th homer. Just Dong because what else is new.
Javier Baez – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 6th homer, and 2nd in as many games. Javy should light a match under Rizzo and Bryant to make sure they’re still alive. I’m concerned. By the way, Baez homered off Nick Anderson, everyone’s new favorite middle reliever.
Sandy Alcantara – 6 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 5.09. I’m beginning to think drafting the entire Marlins’ rotation was not the best move.
Ji-Man Choi – 2-for-2, 3 runs and his 1st homer, hitting .293. I spy a Ji-Man! This is also his first interesting game all year, so I’m cyclops’ing him.
Yandy Diaz – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 4th homer, hitting .271. Was beginning to think the clock struck midnight on Yandy and his muscles were turning into pumpkins.
Brandon Lowe – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 5th homer, hitting .300. Take a swig of that jug, Bra-Lowe! (So juvenile.) I don’t mind Lowe as a middle infielder, but him vs. like 12 other MIs is such a hard and boring choice. Not as boring as Peraza, though, I realize that.
Steven Duggar – 2-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer, and 2nd homer in as many games. Hot schmotato alert!
Juan Soto – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer. Singing a’la California Girls, “I wish they all could be Sexy Dr. Pepper.”
Howie Kendrick – 2-for-3, 2 runs and his 3rd homer, hitting .500. *hand bursts through ground at Nationals Park* “Hey, a hand just grabbed my cankle. Oh my God, it’s gnawing my feet digits!” Schmotato, yes. But more concerning, Kendrick is a Zombino.
Matt Adams – 1-for-5, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer, and 2nd in as many games. That’s gonna do wonders for my Zimmerman shares. *rams head into wall, finds hidden compartment in wall, reaches hand in, mousetrap snaps shut on hand*
Matt Moore – Out for the year with a knee injury. His doctor’s file is 27 U-Haul wardrobe boxes filled with papers.
Spencer Turnbull – 6 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.43. Look at Turnbull’s gamelog. What a charmed set of matchups. Good luck next time out, sucker.
Justin Turner – Still out with an ankle injury. Random Prediction Alert! At the end of the year, I will say something like, “Turner wasn’t very good this year aside from that six-week stretch in the middle of the summer when he hit .375.”
Walker Buehler – 6 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 5.40. *pulls hands back in quickly* Almost lost my hand when that Buy Low Window shut.
A.J. Pollock – 1-for-3, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer. Confession Alert! I keep forgetting Pollock is on the Dodgers. He hasn’t done a ton to remind me either, so, of course, this is his fault.
Sonny Gray – 6 IP, 3 ER, 4 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 2.79. That’s nice. He can do it the rest of the year and I’m still not bothering with him. Sorry Gray, that’s what I call him.
Jake Odorizzi – 5 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 4.76. Are Twins pitchers throwing a 5-inning simulated game before every start and that’s why they can’t make it to the 6th?
Frankie Montas – 6 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.70. I hear he was pumping 98 with ease and looked filthy. Well, 98 is Top 40 crap and take a shower! *intern whispers in my ear* Oh, I see. 98 MPH, gotcha. His peripherals look so meh. I guess cyclops him, but I’m using the Streamonator for him.
Matt Chapman – 1-for-4 and his 6th homer, hitting .284. Matt Chapman’s homers are killer vs. Matt Homer Chapman is a killer. You see difference?
Shin-Soo Choo – 2-for-3, 2 runs, 2 RBIs, hitting .345. Continues to swing a hot bat, and only owned in 32% of leagues. What’s wrong with Choo? Which is best said by Rosie Perez.
Carlos Carrasco – 7 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 7.41. Being a big nature guy, I’m going to feed this bird on the window sill…hey, is that Greg– Damn, the Carrasco Buy Low Window slammed shut.
Jake Bauers – 2-for-3 and his 2nd homer, hitting .226. Quick! Get him out of the lineup for Hanley or CarGo! It’s imperative!
Erik Swanson – 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.38. Here’s what I said for him last time, “With LeBlanc out for upwards to six weeks (Wade not Matt, though who knows where Matt is), Swanson was called up by the M’s. Swanson’s a hard thrower the M’s got from the Yanks for Paxton, and has a solid-enough slider. He could be a 9+ K/9 and mid-2 walk rate guy, so I’m buying in deeper leagues (to give you an idea, I dropped Roark for him). The Prospectonator projections for him don’t look bad. He’s above Kyle Wright, to throw out one random rookie starter.” And that’s me quoting me!
Harrison Bader – Hit the IL after spending about five days on my bench being day-to-day. The Cards had 17 outfielders, and the injured list is only ten days, so why exactly couldn’t they figure out IL’ing Bader sooner? Not to answer, but for me to grumble. This does give some runway to Jose Martinez (1-for-4), and I grabbed him in one 12-teamer.
Michael Wacha – 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 ks, ERA at 4.64. This start makes me call up my friend, The Emoji With The Hand On The Chin and ask, “Hmm?” It replies, “Hmm,” back and we’re at a stalemate. Digging in on Wacha, and his peripherals are not great (4.70 xFIP, near-6 BB/9), but it’s early and I’m Wacha’ing him.
Marcell Ozuna – 1-for-4 and his 8th homer. OZUNA want to play in Milwaukee all the time. OZUNA love stadium. OZUNA does not know name of it either.
Paul DeJong – 4-for-5, 1 run, 1 RBI, hitting .342. All singles yesterday for DeJong, which left girls at The Naughty Beaver saying, “These dollars smell like honey DeJong.”
Corbin Burnes – 3 1/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 10.70. Not a great start, but it’s just a miracle he’s pitching given Corbin Burnes’s son is 65 years old and hasn’t been in the Major Leagues since Major League: Back to The Minors in 1998.
Drop Schoop or Cron for Kingery?
I’d drop Cron for him
Ji man Choi is so the Korean billy butler
Agree with DT
Pitcher zombino should honor the original pitcher zombino Satchel Paige !
How about:
Sistine Satchel
Paige of Enlightenment
Paige discrimination
Keep up the good work!!
Sistine Satchel is funny, but doesn’t tell me same thing I don’t think — thanks!
Braun or kingery ros? 12 team H2H 5×5
Zombino pitcher: Cy Old
Cy Old was suggested already
Braun will get hurt and Kingery’s playing time is uncertain. I guess I’ll take Kingery for the upside…
Agree with DT
Those closed buy-low windows, dang. Is Flaherty worth the pursuit (in other words, any change on production estimates)? Can’t wait to have Dahl back!
I’d be buying Flaherty
Flaherty or Robbie Ray
Flaherty
Agree with DT
Thank you
No problem
Start Pineda at home versus Toronto?
Thanks!
Definitely.
Scared of Smoak and Galvis only, a little bit :)
Start anyone at home against Toronto.
Yep
Yes
Grey!!!
Nice write-up!
a. You know the catcher for Detroit, aka your Canadian son Grayson Greiner? His name should be greener as in loogie as in the snot that comes out of your nose when you have the flu. He is turd-like. Am so glad they’re going with him as their catcher.
b. Woof on Burnes’ start. Almost signed him up, but I said I’ve eaten enough pepto-bismol for this year and decided to let someone else enjoy him. He’ll be great next year.
c. My K/9 is second in my league so I have to keep it up. That’s the best news from my league that I can report for the moment. More updates to follow.
d. Abbott and Costello quote of the day for April 18
A Herd of cows or (ever) heard of cows? skit
Lou Costello: Hey, Abbott, isn’t it beautiful country out here?
Bud Abbott: Wonderful.
Lou Costello: Look at all those cows out there. Get that big bunch of cows.
Bud Abbott: Not bunch – herd.
Lou Costello: Huh?
Bud Abbott: Cow herd.
Lou Costello: I beg your pardon?
Bud Abbott: Cow herd.
Lou Costello: Cow heard what?
Bud Abbott: Not herd what – cow herd.
Lou Costello: Cow heard what? I said look at that big bunch of cows out there.
Bud Abbott: Not bunch – herd! Herd of cows!
Lou Costello: Certainly I heard of cows, you dope. Any fool knows a cow when he sees it. That’s a good bunch of cows I said.
Bud Abbott: It’s a herd of cows.
Lou Costello: Yeah, I heard of cows.
Bud Abbott: That’s what they are.
Lou Costello: A bunch of cows?
Bud Abbott: Sure, a bunch is a herd.
Lou Costello: A bunch is a herd?
Bud Abbott: Certainly. What’s the matter?
Lou Costello: Like bananas. Look at that bananas of cows out there.
Ah, Lou! The butt of all of Abbott’s jokes.
Cheers,
Ante
A. Ha B. Yeah, blech C. Ha, nice D. Hehe
12-team, h2h, 6×6 (holds):
1.better to owning kennedy (with his sp/rp designation) to get both saves and holds or wily peralta?
2.ros, chris paddock or ross stripling?
3.although SON hates it, do you like drew pomeranz vs. nats today?
thanks!!
1. Peralta, saves are more reliable than holds
2. Paddack
3. Pass (I’m starting him in a 20 teamer but wouldn’t in anything shallower)
Agree with DT
Have y’all seen Wily’s peripherals?
NEGATIVE K-Bb
Velo down
XFIP at 6
Methinks Wily’s goin limp. Im sticking with Ian and his gorge peripherals
I think they want Boxberger to be the guy, but I like Lovelady too
HTH 10 team points league…
Dahl coming off IL, who is the drop?
Mazara
J Pederson
T Shaw
Villar
Meadows
Thanks
Mazara
Agree with DT
Drop Miguel Cabrera or Tim Beckham for…. Or both!
A. Garcia, Kingery, Dwight Smith, Lowe, Franmil Reyes?
Thanks!
I’d ditch Miggy for Franmil
Agree with DT
So when Franmil goes 0-8 or 1-12, then Renfroe will be the guy. Still rather own Renfroe, but this is 1 of the reasons the Pads won’t win their division. Package Mejia and Franmil and another o.f. for Bauer. Bauer will be leaving sooner than later anyway, and the Padres need a reliable starter.
True
Hello Grey, Hello DT :)
Great articel as usual.
1) How about this for pitcher version of zombino?
– seniorvengers
2) last night, suddenly someone offered his Sale for my Pete Alonso. Then, I countered my Vogelbach for his Sale, and he accepted. Was it good move for me?
(I have Voit, Shaw, and P. Alonso as 1B materials.)
Thanks :)
Or Phoenixenior? Sorry. Haha
Ah! Another idea!
Throwerbacks. Sorry again, Haha
Hey Mojoman,
That’s an awesome deal for you…
1. Meh 2. Nice!
Not sure about these term suggestions tho
Thanks Grey and DT :)
Phoenixeniors
Phoenix = never dying bird + senior.
Throwerbacks
Pitcher = thrower, it fused with throwback.
That’s all. Hehe
Not loving these
These are all objectively terrible. I expect better outta you guys. My “Undead Arm” suggestion (see below) is looking pretty good :-)
McMahon should be activated tonight. Would you pick him up? I had great expectations before he went to IL
Who would you drop?
Hey DT piggybacking here if I may…
Drop Renato Nunez for McMahon, corner infield spot?
Thanks!
Sure, but it’s kind of a coin flip for me
One between Mazara,Wong, Soler
Agree with DT
Colon oldSP
or
TomE Jonitis
or
Return of the King
Good lookin Colon oldSP or Healthy or some derivative w/ Colon oldSP
Tommy Jaundice? That’s funny
I think Tommy Jaundice is a winner
Tommy Jaundice has negative connotations tho
That’s fair
A boring answer tho
Pitcher zombino: a Latter-K Saint.
Hahaha perfect
Haha, nice! That’s in the lead
Hey Grey,
Awesome write up as ever.
When does it stop being early? Asking for a friend.
Around two more weeks
When it’s not early
Yeah, maybe a month in
I need Jeff McNeil in my laifu. He can back up Devers until Senzel hopefully takes their job. Also, I need a starter to fill in for Snell this week. I can then drop said starter for my mancrush McNeil afterwards. Question is, do I wanna drop one of Braun, Schwarber, Miggy, Peraza or no-save Givens? I thought Cabrera was a total steal when I drafted him. Now I’m looking at him and Votto, two guys I thought could hit .300 well into their AARP years, and I’m not liking what I see. I’m not liking it one bit. -_-
Givens is pretty unownable
Rizzo and Eugenio for Eloy, Bieber and Kiriloff?
Rizzo side
Agree with DT
Eloy and minor for hicks
Who wins?
Also, is burnes a hold in 14 team mixed or just stream? Have Castillo, glasnow, wheeler, luchessi, Swanson for SP
Eloy side.
Streamer right now…
Agree with DT
Keeper league which is why Kirilloff has value, but I already have a ton of depth in OF and need 1b. Trust Rizzo and Eugenio to perform this year?
Sure
How much out of $174 to bid on Kingery in a 14 team ESPN 5×5 league with OBP? We are able to make $0 pickups. Gut says $9, im up to $12 to make sure i get him.
$12 sounds fine
$12
Hi Grey, 10 tm h2h pts: S. Matz or C.Rodon?
Thank-you
Matz but I have them right next to each other in my rankings
Agree with DT
Would you trade my acuna for betts?
Betts for me
Agree with DT
Nice write-up as always, Grey.
Glossary term suggestions:
1)Lazurace (or Lazuruseful if ace is too strong)
2)SP’once de Leon
* Lazarace / Lazaruseful
My old biblical spelling teacher would be spinning in her grave if she were dead or if that job existed
I like Latter-K Saint
1. Who should I keep? Piscatty or Buxton.
2. Who should I cut? Voit or Hunter Dozier.
1. I’d keep Buxton
2. I’d cut Dozier…if you have to
Piscotty — Agree with DT
Sale or Glasnow ROS
Sale
Agree with DT
Morning!
I know SON isn’t very high on him, but would you start Urias @ MIL?
Pass
Nope
My relief pitching is weak (Strop; Parker; and Iglesius).
1. Do you agree that cutting Iglesius wouldn’t actually be weakening it?
2. Which of these (any? all?) should I try trading for Morrow?
1. Yea, don’t cut him
2. Hold
Agree with DT
Lets call them old pitchers Perrywinkles.
For the longevity of HOP Gaylord Perry and finally waking up like Rip Van Winkle.
I prefer Latter-K Saint
Dump Alvarado for Swarzak in 12-team H2H? Love Alvarado’s stuff but hard to punt saves if he doesn’t get consistent opportunities.
I’d want Alvarado
Agree with DT
Great stuff as always. What do you like better going forward Tim Beckham or Garrett Hampson. Thanks!
Hampson for me
Agree with DT
Hey Grey! 14 team H2H auction redraft league. 6×6: Runs, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS and Ks, QS, ERA, WHIP, SV+HD, K/9
1) drop Ramon Laureano for Joc Pederson, Scott Kingery, Dansby Swanson, Dwight Smith Jr, Avisail Garcia, or Clint Frazier? or hold?

Thanks, Grey!
I’d want Joc
You need a bench bat to own Joc
Peraza or Jorge Polanco
I’d want Peraza
Agree with DT but becoming harder to hold
You guys are crazy look at Rudy’s ros player rater – polanco is the choice by a mile…
Tell Hunter Dozier that you animal!!!!
Hello sir,
Laureano or Walker?
Who ya got ROS?
OPS league.
Thank you for your time.
Laureano for me but it’s close
Agree with DT
Would you move Rizzo and Soroka in a keeper for Vlad? I’m trying to win this year but I have a Goldy, Freeman, Hoskins, Rizzo log jam at 1B. Is Rizzo the guy I should be looking to move out of that bunch? I know you also said to sell Goldy. Thanks!
Take Vlad, now.
Agree with Cram
Agree with Cram
How are you feeling about Soroka vs. the D-backs? ROS? Thanks, Grey!
He’s startable vs. the D-backs and I’m optimistic for ROS but there’s a lot of mouths to feed in ATL…
Oops, forgot to mention him today… I’m not starting him, but it could be a great start
Had to bench one of Carrasco, Wheeler or Montas. Originally was gonna sit Wheeler, then changed to Montas. Damn.
He has very good stuff, probably gonna be a decent mid tier back of rotation guy, which is more than most ppl expected coming in.
Yeah, that’s what I hear, I was watching Survivor when he was pitching
Was very happy with my team in 12 team league after draft. They are struggling pretty hard right now. Time to panic or do you see things turning around. My hitting is dead last can’t be that bad for long right?

I have Osuna and Giles at closer. Just added Minter. Should I prefer Neris or Brasier over Minter? My 8th starter is Urias or Touki. Could drop one of them or Lucchesi also. What to do?
I prefer Minter due to lack of competition. I’d ditch Lucchesi for Neris if you need the saves, but Grey likes Lucchesi more than I.
Brasier — I’d lose Touki before Lucchesi
Need to waiver 2 players after doing a 3-1 trade (Traded Bell, Mccutchen and DCastillo for ZWheeler)
Pick 2 (no specific needs)
Choo, Jo-Ma, Eovaldi, Montas, JBJ, DeShields, Choi
I can also pick up 2 and take another shot on Matz, who clears on the 20th.
Thanks.
Choo and, meh, who else is out there?
Agree with Cram, Matz would be my 2nd choice from that list…
I named everyone relevant; it’s a deep 12 teamer, most good players are swept up.
Choo, Jo-Ma
drop vogelbach for c walker or kingery?
thanks grey
Walker
My all Grey team is slowly raising in the standings. Next move replace Cahill (who I grabbed when Clevinger died) with either Soroka or Swanson?
I have Dahl and Sanchez off the dl this week and Giancarlo soon (I hope and pray)
A Zombino pitcher who later gets rocked gives you a Colon-ostomy
Swanson for me
I prefer Latter-K Saint — and Swanson
Naming rights WM&D
Am I crazy??
The show is just too good.
This season is already half over… not fair!
What show? I need something to watch.
Gomorra
This is a top 3 show of all-time or I’m crazy
I watched it a while back when you spoke about it. I assume theres a new season. Thanks-great show.
Yeah, there’s 2 more seasons
How can it not be??
Why are we the only ones gaga over it. Lol.
Ha, I don’t think enough people know about it… It’s our job to spread the word!
How can Pati not know? Grrrr.
Haha
Ever seen the Second Season of Fargo, it is amazing!
Yeah, it was great
I have Ottavino and Braiser as my RP as I was aiming for holds and punting saves in my 12 team H2H league. Right now I end up doing poorly in both areas given how Braiser is being used. Some options for your advice please:
1. Add third RP…..Buttrey, Strop, Neris, Rogers, Herrera, Kolarek, Rondon, Alexander and Claudio available.
2. Grab Neris and trade for Chapman who I think I can get cheaply (maybe Ottavino) and go for saves?
3. Hold and see how the Boston pen shakes out.
4. Trade for Kimbrel.
4.
Also Parker is out there. That can be my 4A item LOL
What are you trying to do? Why are you listing guys who get saves if you’re punting saves? Just pick up holds guys.
You are right. I was unclear. I am listing saves guys with the idea that Braiser could emerge as a strong closer. If that comes to fruition, I would trade Ottavino and actually punt holds and build for saves….trade for Chapman or Kimbrel (cheaply) and add a wire guy…..Neris, Peralta, Parker type.
Agree with DT
1. Strop, Neris
2. Yes
4. Worth an offer…
Thank you.
Geezarus
Haha, nice… That’ll go on final list
There is no other fantasy baseball site on Earth that’ll drop a Major League 3: Back to the Minors reference and that’s why I’m here. Brilliant.
Anyway my rotation has been hit hard by the Pitcher Apocalypse. It’s a keeper league so I was able to nab 3 studs very cheap (or so I thought) in Nola, Strasburg, Flaherty to go along with Woodruff, Luchesshi, Kelly and Trevor Williams. Should I be fully panicking or riding this out?
Minor panic. I’m a little concerned about Nola and very concerned about Strasburg. Woodruff, Lucchesi, and Kelly are fringe guys if its a shallower league.
Hehe — Agree with DT, though I might be more concerned about Nola than him, I’m not sure
“I was able to nab 3 studs very cheap…”
?

Do you think the twins limit Michael Pineda innings this year since he didn’t pitch last year?
I doubt it, the guy is built like an elephant. Decent chance he limits himself at some point via injury.
Send him to Cersei!
Hahaha
I doubt he throws 200 IP if that’s what you’re asking
Shaw or Eloy Jimenez, ROS… thanks!
Eloy for me
Eloy
Flip a coin for me, but Shaw I guess
14T obp
Keep 2: Deshields, Kendrick, Leury, Reddick, Teoscar
Keep 1: Loverlady, Nick Anderson with the excellent peripherals. Looking for ace-like potential closer.
Think the league has already adjusted to Vogelbach?
Thanks
Deshields, Reddick for me
Anderson for me
Possibly, but he also just faced Cole, Bieber and Carrasco…
Agree with DT — Vogelbach and the M’s faced good pitching
Grey,
Would you rather own Peraza, Semien or Clint Frazier for the rest of season? I know stats and positions are different, but this is just a bench bat that I’d pick as I just dropped Vizcaíno.
If it helps, 5×5 roto league, other SS are Villar and Mondesi can play there also. OF are J. D., Harper, Soto, Mazara and Laureano
Peraza
Agree with DT
Would you trade Arenado for Betts?
I also have Vlad and Bryant
Yes
Yes. But they way Betts is playing, see if he would take Bryant and a lesser piece first.
Out of Montas, Eovaldi, Happ and Skaggs, which two would you prefer? 11 tm keeper.
I have Whitley stashed in the hopes he gets called up – is that worth it or am I burning a roster spot for one of these pitchers or a guy like Hampson?
Eovaldi & Happ, but keep a close eye on Montas
I’d hold Whitley in a keeper.
Agree with DT
Would you trade Arenado for Betts ?
I also have Bryant and Vlad
Oh hell yeah take Mookie
12 team. 5×5 OBP. Bunch of trade offers and counters here. Guy needs hitting and is targeting Hoskins and H. Dozier. He has Yelich, Bergman, Benetendi, Eloy. Checked trade analyzer first but H. Dozier’s value is very low there and makes comparison tough.
His offer
1) H. Dozier for Soler and Buxton (Soler has been an obp killer this year but wasn’t bad last year, buxton is always an obp killer)
Counters:
2) Give Hoskins/H. Dozier Get Yelich (prob won’t do this but worth a shot)
3) Give Hoskins Get Benetendi and Eloy
Thoughts on which side on each of these?
Thank you.
1) It’s fair. I’d want Buxton, but I’m on Buxton fanboy.
2. Yelich
3. Benintendi & Eloy
Agree with DT
Yelich or Benetendi/Eloy first offer?
Yelich
Easter K-eezer
Would make sense to use Rich Hill, Jamie Moyer and Bartolo In it somehow but I got nothing.
I prefer Latter-K Saint or Geezarus
How about Sigh not Young for the pitcher zombinos?
I prefer Latter-K Saint or Geezarus
A glossary term for old pitchers who have a resurrection:

IT’S ALIVE!
Problem with that is sometimes I’ll say Franken(position) meaning to cobble together a guy — like Narvaez, Alfaro and Flowers and I’ve frankencatcher’d my spot
Good call, didn’t think about that
Need to pick up Howie Kendrick or Duggar. Which do you like better?
Duggar for me
Flip a coin, but I guess Duggar since he will play

Great deal for you
Yes Agree with DT
Sounds great, guys, thanks! I’m looking to add another RP after trading Hader. Neris is available. Grab him and drop Lucchesi, Shoemaker, Mikolas or Soroka (I forgot to include him earlier)? Thanks again.
Soroka
Awesome, thanks!
No problem
Maybe an anymore at the end. Sign not Young anymore
Prefer others
H2H NL Only 5×5 Weekly League…
Was offered Votto for Felipe Vazquez.
My current first basemen are Hosmer/McMahon…
If i trade Vazquez I will have to start 3 RPs which are Josh Hader, AJ Minter, Matt Strahm with Jeffress on the bench
It’s fair. I’d do it, but I like Votto more than Grey…
Hold
I ended up getting Morrow back and accepting. Hopefully Joe Maddon is a man of his word when he said, AND I QUOTE: ““I won’t declare anybody the closer, didn’t even declare Stropy the closer. Once Brandon’s out, we’ve got to figure it out. Once Morrow comes back, he will be the closer.”
Managers never lie, right?
Haha, fingers crossed

Hey DT! Hey Grey!
My pitching staff feels full of streamers. I need to lose someone to activate Dahl this weekend. Who would you lose? (I included their match-ups next week because I have a feeling some of these guys are real close).
10-team H2H
Top of staff:
Verlander
Clevenger (IL)
Wheeler
These streamers?
Musgrove (vs. AZ / @ LAD)
Kikuchi (vs. TX)
Lucchesi (@ Was)
D. German (@ LAA / @ SF)
Freeland (vs. Was)
Peacock (vs. Min / vs. Cle)
Donkey – When is your next top 100 SP list coming out?
Thanks all!
Hey Rice!
I’d lose Freeland first, then Lucchesi.
Next top 100 SP drops this Sunday morning and then every other Sunday.
No problem.
Agree with DT
Who do you like least among my enormous collection of 2Bs, one of whom has to go: Peraza, Cano, Kike, Lowe.
I’d cut Lowe
Forgot to add Polanco to that list.
Still Lowe for me
Well, one of the last two… Agree with DT
Oh great Grey,
who gets the best of this trade??
Muncy/M.Franco for Hosmer/J.Turner
I’d want the Muncy/Franco side
Agree with DT
whats up Grey,
Need to drop one with Dahl coming back…. Swanson, Kepler, Winker
thanks
Swanson for me
Kepler
10 team H2H keeper…which side?
A) Arenado
B) Bellinger and Eloy Jimenez
Thanks!
Very fair, tough one. I’ll take B but don’t feel strongly about it.
A
I’m in a 12 team 7 x7 OBP, Total Bases league

Have Dahl coming back today or soon after and need to drop someone (preferably a hitter) if I cant pull off one of the consolidation trades for Kluber I mentioned a minute ago, thoughts?

Hold Astudillo.
I own Astudillo if that helps
Agree with DT
Keeper forever which side/is it fair…Im competing he isn’t. My Severino, Royce Lewis his Flaherty and Bichette
Flaherty, it’s fair.
Flaherty side
Wouldn’t a pitching Zombino be a Cy Old?
Could also be a ConvalAcent or a GeriAceTrick.
Cy Old was suggested last week in original post, it’s okay… I prefer Latter-K Saint or Geezarus
ConvalAcent is pretty funny tho
Rest of season ( 6 cats obp in addition to traditional 5 )
Jeimer Candelario or Scott Kingery
Son question for Rudy
On the weekly pitcher planner for Seattle it doesn’t show Swanson as starting in the rotation but shows Sheffield instead. Yesterday it did have Swanson. Is it a Son glitch or am I missing some news on Swanson? I have my finger on the trigger to grab him and just want to make sure.
Thanks in advance.
Kingery for me. I don’t think Sheffield is coming up…
Question in comments on SON might elicit a quicker response… I’d guess it’s Swanson and you’re right
Kingery

Dahl over Frazier, Dahl over Winker ROS

Thank ya
1 McNeil for me
2 Smith
Agree with DT
Are Amed Rosario and Asdrubal Cabrera must owns in 10 team? I have them both, no MUST add players on the wire but I could stream or make them the first to drop going forward.
Nah not must own
I would own them, but MUST own? I don’t know
I dropped Rosario in a 12 team after he lost my starting SS position battle with DeJong. No one picked him up either. He’s super boring.
SS is a dumpster for me with Peraza so far. Sit him for Kingery, Polanco, Hampson or Galvis until he starts hitting?
I’d be dumping Matz, Stripling, or Neris, I have Swarzak, Holland and Minter as well at closer.
10 team, keeper, R/RBI/AVG/OPS/K/SB/HR, W/L/NetSv/K:BB/K/ERA/WHIP
Kingery — Matz
Thoughts on Touki? Worth a roster spot in a 5×5 12 team keeper league? Would you rather have him or Matz going forward this year and next?
Flip a coin at this point, way too early to say for next year… I trust Matz a bit more, Touki might have more upside
Now that Jeffries is back does he end up being the Brewers sole closer with Knebel out? Assuming they don’t sign Kimbrel.
It’s not decided yet
When do you start caring about the standings and points behind in a roto points league?
Gone from 3rd to 6th (out of 11) after a beautiful -1.60 pt outing yesterday. Now 450 points behind the leader and an average night in our league is around 100 points with a full lineup.
I am not worried at all as a) it’s early b) I have a great (though underperforming) lineup and c) I’ve got razzball on my side.
Just curious when I should really pay attention to the deficit? June?
May 1st
Ugh how much longer before I cut bait with Posey (I know you love Catcher questions)
Barnes and W Castillo were both dropped recently
Barnes
Would you trade George Springer and Paddack for Buehler? or too much? I think my SP is pretty solid as is but i do have a lot of OFs. 12 team redraft league 5×5 w/ OBP and QS
Current OF (Can only start max 4 daily) Betts, Soto, Springer, Dahl, Domingo, Eloy
Current SP: Flaherty, Carrasco, Bieber, Paddack, Boyd, Lucchesi
Too much
Drop stripling for German?
Thanks!
I’ll guess what German and say no
@Grey 11 team, 5×5 Roto
Rizzo and Domingo for Marte and Paxton – which side? Fair?
Rizzo
Wondering how you would rank:
Yandy, Joc, Inciarte, Laureano, Mancini – will need to cut 2 when Lindor and Dahl return. Thanks!
Lose Yandy and Laureano
Yo Grey,
I’ve Goodrum or Kingery?
It is a fill in for my injured Trea & Dan Murphy, so it will be hard to say if I can keep either much beyond their return. (I know Murphy is kinda gross, but I need his AVG & OPS help)…
Thanks, Homie!
Kingery
“a glossary term for Zombinos that are pitchers”:
-Cy Old
-Aged Cheddar
Aged cheddar is pretty funny
Grey,
I’m thinking about manking some roster move and wanted your opinion on them:
1) Drop Vogelbach for Hunter Dozier
2) Drop Tulowitzki all together (I have Seager, and Galvis)
3) Should I hold onto Albert Pujols and Zobrist or pick up someone like Yandy Diaz, Josh Reddick,
SHould I drop JD Davis for Yandy?
Yes
1. Ok 2. Yes 3. Lose them for both
Would you drop pollack for Lowe, c walker, or hunter dozier? My other drop could be yandy. Or just hold onto pollack and yandy?
Kingery is also available
And thanks for this awesome site!
Drop Yandy for Dozier
Hey Grey,
How do you feel about starting Nova (@DET) or Buchholz (@MIN) today?
Thanks!
They sound fair
@Grey: weekly roto. Growing tired of the Kris Bryant Experience. Bench for Hunter Dozier until observing signs of life or stay the course with Bryant?
Also, Zombino Pitcher:
Vida Blue Balls
Bartolo Colonoscopy
AAR(S)P
I prefer others on the term… I’d start Dozier
Yahoo H2H 12 team league would you take any of these offered two trades:
Would you get Carpenter and Amed Rosario (blah) for Paddack and Devers? Granted, I had intentions of keeping Paddack next year
or
Alex Gordon and Clay Bucholz for my Robinson Cano?
I don’t like Carp
Cano side
You mean keep Cano? Sorry
Yes
My ragtag group is finally getting healthy pending their team evaluations today (Dahl) and tomorrow (Lindor) – Which means I need a new IL stash. My roster at 100% health is:
C – Contreras
1B – Bellinger
2B – Mondesi
3B – Shaw
SS – Lindor
OF – Betts, Benintendi, Dahl
UTIL -Story
B – Alonso, McNeil
SP – Glasnow, Marquez, Lucchesi, Fried, Woodruff, Pineda (aka Stream spot – I dropped Touki since he’s @ CLE this week)
SAGNOF – Alvarado, Holland, Swarzak, Strop, Brasier, Barnes
Inquiries (constraint is 6 moves per week):
1. I’m leaning towards Jimmy Nelson as my new IL stash, but other options are: Justin Upton or Andujar (my drop would be Pineda or McNeil depending on the timing of when my guys come off the DL)
2. 2 bench bats are unnecessary (#shallowleagueproblems), but I was wondering if I should pick up Kingery (3B, SS, OF) over McNeil in the short term in case either Dahl or Lindor don’t come off the DL
3. I have been keeping both Brasier and Barnes because I expected the Red Sox to be winning more games and racking up those saves for me. I’m wondering if I should drop one of them for Neris – since Kapler has a Neris-fetish.
It’s been a while since I hit you up with a bunch of roster questions, so I was due like Betts and Mondesi are due for a base hit.
1. Upton 2. Kingery over McNeil 3. Hold
Kingery over McNeil ? Own McNeil on 6 of my 7 draft teams. Let’s check their stats at the end of the year. Love McNeil, unless b. avg. is no longer a cat.
I like them both
I spent close to $200 on Kingery last year (maybe more)…..Kapler would have to guarantee a full time job in writing, notarized by Manfred, before I go back in. And it wouldn’t be for a guy who has position eligibility everywhere, and who hits over .300 wherever he’s been.
HA, I hear ya on Kingery… Todd Frazier is going to mess up McNeil’s PT too tho
As an original founding father of the term Zombino (Check the glossary.. though I originally had suggest the Great Zombino) I feel I must chime in… I like Geezarus but still don’t think it really hits about how we thought they were dead, now they are alive…How about…
-Dead Arm Ringer
or
-Walking Dead Arm
or
wait.. there is no 3
Nice! What about Latter-K Saint or Tommy Jaundice?
I could get behind Tommy Jaundice… Latter-K Saint doesn’t really do it for me.. although the Book of Mormon was an awesome show!
For the record, the term Dead Ringer was used originally for people who were in comas being mistakenly declared dead and getting buried alive. They had “Safety coffins” with bells they would ring if they came “back to life” so to speak. It’s also where the term “Saved by the Bell” comes from… go Bayside!
Dead ringer isn’t bad, but not exactly funny — You like Tommy Jaundice too? Okay, I can be convinced… Don’t you think it’s negative tho?
What!? You’re saying that jokes requiring an explanation aren’t funny!?… yeah ok.. hey it was short notice!
Yeah Tommy Jaundice is negative but we all know Tommy John’s surgery isn’t the death sentence it once was…. I think the term works well for that as well because having that surgery used to mean you were dead… but now those pitchers are coming back to life better than ever after the surgery…
Maybe there’s something to that…
Hard to recreate the magic that is the term Zombino… you’re welcome! HA!
Wait… how about Armbino???
Or… SPombino???
Hmm, nah, no –binos
Isn’t the term supposed to be positive? Tommy Jaundice has not one but two negative connotations. It’s a good pun on its face but doesn’t work for the term IMO.
Think I agree, why I’m leaning Latter K-Saint
Choose one for 10 team H2H keeper please…
A) Bellinger, Eloy, Paxton
B) Arenado, Paddack

I started Happ, watched the first two innings and then cried myself to sleep. I thought I was still dreaming when I looked at his final line.
HA, let out your inseam
Would you trade brazier for Kimbrel?
Nah
In a heartbeat !
Grey
Doubling up!

Neris or Brasier?
Brasier
Morning grey,
Im overloaded on SS. Trying to deal T.Anderson. Already have Bregman and C.Seager. Picked up G.Hampson for a spot start today and would like to keep him. Love his potential speed/lineup/pedigree. Also have a bit of a logjam at 1B with EE, J.Aguilar and T.Shaw. Like to keep Shaw for his multi position eligibility and EE has started off hot. Woud try to deal him but its a keeper league and dont know whether to trust Aguilar yet.
Basically would you keep Hampson or J.Aguilar?
Aguilar
I’m a Sox fan and can’t help but try to buy low on Sale. Especially since the guy who has him in my league is in dead last.
Which of these pitchers would you offer first in exchange for Sale?
Marquez
Bieber
Bumgarner
Wheeler
Ryu
Any of them, Ryu, Bum, Bieber first
Hi, 10 tm h2h pts for ROS: could you pls point out any/all upgrades for this 2 teams
1) Mancini, Winkler, E.Hernandez (using as SS or 2nd)
available: Dahl, C.Walker, A.Garcia, F.Reyes, Kingerly, Villar
2) Mancini, E.Hernandez
Available: Dahl, C.Walker, H.Dozier, Villar, Dejong, Kingerly
Thanks!
*these ; )
1. Dahl over Kiké 2. Same
Hey Grey,
back with some trade talk again. Still trying to deal Bryant.
Was offered:
his Wheeler or Taillon PLUS Felipe Vasquez for my Bryant
My 3B are: Bryant(OF), Machado (ss), Dozier (1b).
But I have depth around my IF with: Dejong, Tatis, Torres, Mondesi
And in my OF with: Dahl, Conforto, Gallo, Hoskins, Pederson
12 team OPS league with QS and SV, no holds. Running one closer (Allen) at the moment since I don’t care about saves too much, but would be nice to have another guy who has a majority cut of saves.
Do I pull the trigger this time? I’m liking Wheeler lately and did last year w his 100mph heat, havent looked into his or Taillon’s peripherals yet. What say you? Thanks!
miiiiiight be able to swindle Taillon AND wheeler and forget vasquez but it’s slim
Taillon/Wheeler is ok, but still not enough
No, hold or do better
For Zombino pitchers, how about an Undead Arm?
Meh, it’s not bad, will add to list
If Dahl returns. Drop H.Dozier or Jay Bruce?
My OF: Trout, Winker, Domingo, Goodrum (eligible everywhere)
* So I’ll drop one, then Dahl will go right back to IL. irritating!
Thanks.
Bruce
On my team:
Skaggs
Trevor Williams
Wacha
Fried
Lucchesi
Marco Gonzales
Avaiolable:
Erik Swanson
Merrill Kelly
Nick Anderson
Anyone you’re picking up?
Swanson over Williams, Anderson over Skaggs
You were high on peraza going forward peraza or tatis?
Tatis
Damn. Despite the many injuries to my many rosters I was trying to stay positive and be resilient. But then ODB was followed by Christin Stewart on the D(I)L-(Not to be cofused with Johnny Rotten’s PIL). WTF is happening? On one NFBC team I have Upton, Bader, Herrera, and Stewart all rostered. Damn. I guess I have to play Brinson and luckily McNeil just qualified as OF. I guess I will count the days (2) until Fletcher also gains OF eligibility.
Man, oh man. That’s on top of Trea, Segura, Guzman, Peralta, Heaney elsewhere. Getting thin here in some leagues and have to contemplate dropping guys I never would without so many band-aid boys.
Did ODB get IL’d? Damn, going to Coors? I thought he was returning
He’s not on IL, but not playing today. I own him in 7/9 leagues. Ouch. He better get back soon.
Ah, yeah, hopefully he plays tomorrow
Saw you said you preferred Brasier to Kimbrel
Is that because you think Brasier is really the closer? He did come in in the 7th last night and allowed the grand slam.
Or, because you think Kimbrel won’t sign anytime soon? Would love some clarity. Thanks.
It’s bc Kimbrel doesn’t have a team
Because Brasier is actually pitching.
I get that, obviously. But the second Kimbrel signs, assuming its Braves or Brewers, he’s almost instantly a top 7 or so closer, maybe better.
And what’s the latest he signs? June 1st?
Is there actually risk he doesn’t sign until July?
And how long until he returns?
Returns meaning post signing? I suppose that could be an issue, I’m operating under the assumption he’s in shape and ready to go.
More or less, you see him as a sell high? What are some mid tier closers you’d take over him in a deal?
He’ll need at least 2 weeks in the minors or somewhere, he can’t just step into a game (I don’t think)
Sure, he’s still a top closer, most likely. If he signs, and yes I think there is a risk he doesn’t sign for a significant amount of the season, by the time he starts getting stats for you, Brasier has already actually given you useful stats. So go ahead, risk giving up 2,3, who knows how many months of stats while you wait for Kimbrel do give you diminishing returns.
I’m asking more curiously, rather than implying that I’m right. Built into this is the uncertainty that Brasier is even valuable.
Let’s use Alvarado as an example.
Alvarado over Kimbrel a no-brainer? Same go for Hicks and holland?
I’m having a hard time wondering if I should hold, sell or buy Kimbrel. Honestly. Because his upside is a Diaz/Trienen level closer, if he signs soon; which he may.
Hello Grey,
Who between Kingery and Semen for my SS in our Yahoo 12 Team H2H League with OPS and Holds. I have Semen, but I am absolutely willing to move on.
Thanks much Grey.
Semien
Pivetta be gone!
Wade, Pablo, Shark, or Yonny.
Thanks
Yonny
Yonny plays the piano too and makes for a cheesy hybrid caricature of Mr. Grey and the Rays pitcher:

I have to now wash out my ears
It’s truly disgusting isn’t it?
My apologies for defilement of your eardrums, but it is so appalling that I remember it from television twenty years ago. That is quite an impression he makes, ain’t it?
Haha, it’s so awful, stop reminding me I just heard a snippet of it
Ok, I will have mercy!
Thank you!
holy crap i’m in a spot with ONLY MAC computers and probably not the greatest internet speed (however, i KNOW PC’s work just fine in this same spot) and without an adblocker this site wouldn’t work basically at all. i mean i was waiting for like 30 something minutes (this is in chrome too, maybe that’s why) watching it churn. then said, wait a minute, let’s see if it’s only the ads MIXED with some group of weak internet + MAC + chrome. yep, works fairly ok now. this isn’t posted as saying you guys need to do anything, but is a reminder to me to NOT OFTEN GET INTO SPOTS OF HAVING TO USE A MAC.
I use Mac — buy ad-free for $10
Yes, I highly recommend ad-free and can now navigate ten times more quickly and one added benefit is no more PTSD nightmares of boils on morbidly obese popping and showering me with transfat puss droplets…
Haha
Tried scrolling through the comments to see if this was asked already, but didn’t see it. Miggy or Walker ROS.
Thanks again!
Walker
Catcher question…sorry
Hold D Jansen in a shallow OBP league or drop for: Alfaro, Phegley, Zunino, Barnhart, Flowers
Thanks!
Alfaro
Did anyone get a look at Jeffress last night? His rehab outings were less than great, but yesterday’s box score looks good. Velocity? Movement? Etc.?
Can you rank Hampson, Shaw, and Hunter Dozier? 12 team H2H redraft. Have a fairly balanced team.
I saw a clip, he looked okay, didn’t have much of a challenge
Shaw, Dozier, Hampson, different things
Vlad Jr. hit a 440+ foot HR yesterday. Out of the stadium. 107 exit velocity. Dude’s mashing.
I know, I saw, crazy
Ok to cut peraza in a 12 team league with an mi spot. It is obp too. He was benched again yesterday. He is hitting low in the order. I wonder if he even will have a spot once gennett returns and if Senzel comes up and is ever healthy. I hate the fact I am even thinking about it but it is a dead spot on my roster. I added Jorge Polanco a while ago. Hes hitting but no steals. I also have ketel marte. Thanks
Cut him for who?
Would you trade Arenado for Vlad?
14T keeper, Vlad a 20th round keeper, Arenado 1st
I know it’s a lot but Vlad could carry the team for the next decade.. unless he turns out to be injury prone.
Thanks
Nope
Thoughts on Verdugo?
Lacks PT
Thoughts on Luke weaver @pitt next time out?
Looked pretty good today, could see trying him
14 team keep 6 (OBP, TB, HR, SB, RBI, R and QS, ERA, WHIP, K, K/BB, SV+HLD)
1) Trade my K Jensen, E Rosario and C Pinder for his J Berrios and J Peraza and B Dozier?
2) Would you rather give up D Peralta or E Rosario?
3) Would you rather want B Dozier or M Sano or DeJong as the third piece?
1. Nah 2. Peralta 3. DeJong
Soto for Vlad? Thanks in advance!
Hold
Put out a BOLO on Pineda’s Ks
Seriously
damn that start went sideways fast – looks like I need to do some damage control
Streaming Qs coming in 3, 2, 1…
Ugh
This one hurts extra for me if Touki goes out and deals @ CLE tomorrow
Anyway, looking at tomorrow thru Sunday – my options are (pick 2):
Sabathia v. KC
Lyles v. Giants
Strahm v. CIN
Mikolas v. NYM
Cahill v. SEA
Gibson @ BAL
I’m partial to rolling Sabathia and Strahm but wanted your opinion
Strahm, Lyles
12 team h/h points ….Is Jimmy Nelson at this point worth a roster spot ….not t much left on waiver all Mia SPers, Montas.Lynn,D Rodriquez,M Jelly….
That’s M Kelly
Sure
“start anybody at home versus Toronto…”
Can’t watch Pineda anymore. He can’t strike out anybody.
I’m 2-0 but my team is affecting my real life emotions this week [rage emoji]
Ha
I was up 7-2 in a category league now I’m down 5-6 just because of pineda. 2-0 sounds nice now doesnt it ;)
Which side do you like:
A) Puig
B) Glasnow + Peraza
Glasnow
@Grey: weekly roto redraft. how do you rank this MI’s who i will probably drop in a few weeks? mcmahon (returning today?), lowe, kingery.
thank yo.
Kingery, Lowe
Hey Grey,
Would you start Julio Urias tonight in Milwaukee? I’m fraidy skeered.
No
Grey!
Clint Frazier or Mazara ros?
Thanks!
Mazara
Drop Avisail, Healy, or hold for Joey Wendle?
Healy
Hey
would you cut Amed Rosario or Travis Shaw for any of these guys?
Jorge Polano, Kiermaier, Christian Walker or Yandy Diaz
Thanks!
Nope
What’s good Grey? How bout just “ARMistice”…like an agreement between age & time?
I picked up Swanson for Turner a couple weeks ago and I think he’s beaten out Peraza at MI when Turner comes back. That being said, would you bail on Peraza right now for a couple weeks of Kingery or Hampson?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1gp0m4B5p8
Thanks!
Not crazy about that, poop… I’m holding Peraza — listening now…
Oh I know this song, it’s solid — Meek!
Great work Grey!

James
Thank you!
No problem
Gotta activate Dahl who do I drop
Kike, Smith Jr, Heyward, Peraza
I have Inciarte and Hoskins as OF eligible.
Thanks!
Heyward
Hey grey love the work u do. Read it daily. My question would u cut devers for yandy or dozier? How much longer can someone wait for the breakout of devers? Its daily H2H lots of categories and devers gives me nothing but k’s. Thanks
Thanks! I’d give Devers another 2 weeks
Satchelistos
istos?
I think it’s meant like delicious
Oh
Satchelistos
What are your thoughts on Domingo German?
Extended thoughts if you search the site, I’ve written 1,000 of words about him
He’s a cool dude.
ok, that right here should be used for all of these “what you think” questions that are completely open ended. or something similar.
Walker or Vogelbach? Power bench bat in 12T roto
Walker
So with the changes you made, would you trade K Jansen, D Peralta and C Pinder for J Berrios, J Peraza and DeJong?
It’s also worth mentioning that with SV+HLD, closers don’t have any more value than set up guys and with Jansen and Rosario getting expensive, I wasn’t planning on keeping them but would probably keep a cheap Berrios. I took over a pretty bad team and while I am trying to compete, I am also trying to build up my core of keepers for next year. Best keepers so far are Tatis Jr, W Contreras, Puig, Segura, Donaldson, Severino, Paxton, Glasnow, and Treinen.
Yes
I’m feeling an Eloy Jimenez hot streak coming. He’s been getting some hits, and seems like he’s being a little more patient while still maintaining some aggressiveness. Was able to watch his ABs today & liked what I saw. Earlier in the year there wasn’t any balance – just way too aggressive with everything. I think he’s adjusting.
Just a hunch, but I think you’ll soon be referring g to him as “El Joy” for what he brings those who have shares.
I hope so!
I like El Joy too!
I’m hoping you get to use that nickname a LOT in the coming weeks. :)
Me too!
thanks for the last response i have 1 more question
time to cut Miguel Cabrera or Nimmo in a dynasty?
could grab Walker or Kingery or open up a stream spot
thanks!
Miggy for Walker
Are these offers too much for Hoskins (Hoskins owner needs pitching)? Trade analyzer pegs them as fair(a little too fair maybe).
1) E.Rosario & Lucchesi For Hoskins
2) E.Rosario & Happ for Hoskins (Selling low on Happ , but are we going to get a chance to sell high on him?) )
3) Should I be targeting Benintendi instead of Hoskins?
My Pitching staff for context:
Nola, Castillo, Lucchesi, Happ, Junis, Gibson, Shoemaker, Velasquez(streamer), and Ryu on the DL
12Team 5×5 +sv+Hld /+obp + slug%
1. Hoskins 2. Hoskins 3. Meh, same value
Awesome. Always appreciate the input. Thanks man!
No problem
Ace Centura
Nah
last one today — Forsaken Master
tough criteria — previous ace, rise from the dead, and ace again, all to a catchy name.
You tough grader Professor Albright
Makes me think of Verlander
Meh, not loving it
Yandy Díaz or Christian Walker in a dyno?
cheers
Walker
A) Machado / Syndegaard / Swarzak or B) Arenado / Wheeler?
Can’t keep Arenado… but can keep Machado
Machado
Grey and everyone—
Trade question. 15-team roto mixed league w/standard scoring (five keepers per year).
Active Roster:
C: Posey
1b: Goldy
2b: Baez
SS: Mondesi
3b: Franco
MI: Tatis
LF: Rosario
CF: Bader
RF: Santana
U: K. Davis
I’ve got D. Peralta on the bench because of an eligibility-related draft snafu.
Staff: Bauer, McHugh, Wheeler, A. Sanchez, Matz, Skaggs, J. Hicks, Hand, Trivino (to replace Vizcaino)
Pitching is a mess. Offense has been great so far, but I’m worried about CF. Bader has been terrible and is now in IL. It’s slim pickings on the wire.
Got a trade offer of Haniger/Jorge Polanco for Tatis/Peralta. I’d hate to let Tatis go, but I do like Haniger. Thoughts on this deal? Trying to balance going for it this year (3rd place right now, but I know it’s early) and planning for the future. Sure would be nice to swap Peralta for some production I could get into the lineup. Tatis has a super high BABIP, which may be inflating his avg., but his BABIP isn’t out of line with his history in the minors. Is Tatis someone to hold onto for the year?
Thanks!
Tatis side, don’t understand how this helps your pitching
In what type of league should we be looking at add Joey wendle to stash? He’s avail in a deep 12 teamer.
Him or Jo-Ma?
Jo-Ma
M.Strahm or L.Weaver?
weaver has been apparently working on a “slurve”and the results look solid besides facing LA to open the year.
Weaver
Is there really any difference in Ender and Leury at this point?
Yes
I’m log jammed in a number of areas, looking to optimize for streamers since my SP situation is awful.
C – Willians Astudillo
1B – Freeman
2B – Whit Merrifield
3B – Baez
SS – Corey Seager
MI – Swanson
CI – Jesus Aguilar
OF – Trout, E. Rosario, Pham, Dee Gordon, Clint Frazier
Bench – Hunter Dozier, Ian Desmond, Semien
IL – Justin Upton and Dahl
SP: Carrasco, Chris Archer, Luis Castillo, Yu Darvish, Jon Gray, Domingo German, Kyle Hendricks
RP: Blake Parker, Colome, Ryan Brasier, Strop, Jeffress
1. Any of my bats droppable to pick up Avasail Garcia? Or just hold? Feel log jammed with MI’s and my OF could use a boost ROS.
2. I somehow autodrafted 2 set up men and had no true closers. Now I have 5 so/so ones. Are there 1 or 2 that are droppable to open up streaming slots?
3. Any of the bats OK to drop for a streaming slot?
Thanks as always!
1. Frazier 2. Jeffress 3. Semien
Dude, THANKS!
No problem
Gray! My first comment of this season and my umpteenth season following you. Still da M’f’in best.
For ROS please rank: Skaggs, Eovaldi, JA Happ, Shoemaker
I just traded Bryant for a terrible closer and it felt good. I’m officially out where KB is concerned and the fact his name is so similar to Kobe’s disgusts me.
Thanks! Eovaldi, Happ, Shoemaker — Ha, I hear ya on KB
Thank you!!!
No problem
Hate to humblebrag, but I started Happ last night. Then again, I am the greatest manager in baseball history… so….
Well, yeah!
The infamous catcher question.
Beouf or Alfaro ROS?
:D
Beef
I’m just checking to see if I’m missing something…a guy in our league dropped Mazara for H. Dozier. Mazara doesn’t have fantasy AIDS or anything does he?
Not that I know of
12 team, h2h, 6X6. I need a Pitcher, what’s your top three from this group?
Darvish, C. Smith, Woodruff, Pineda, Minor, C.Rodon….thanks man!
Smith, Yu, woodruff
Well Pineda dookied the bed. Who would you start this weekend?
Caleb vs Wsh
Touki @ Cle
Smith
Zombino SP: Grandpa Joe.
No one more famous for coming alive after being thought for dead.
(Fuck Grandpa Joe btw)
Coupla ?s
What’re we doing with Chris Taylor? (Fuck Dave Roberts too) Leonys Martin and Reddick avail.
Am also stashing Sano and Didi on IL. Bader just hit the IL. Any swap outs here or sit tight w Bader on bench.
Sidenote: Amazon Music New Wave playlist belting out “Psycho killer”.
Cant help but sing along, sliding in “Curt Casali” in the lyrics
Have a great rest of the day!
Haha… WUT… amazon knows what’s up! Taylor useless, no? Grab Reddick
How about ZombSPino
Meh
Ok, well ODB officially on IL/DL. Fark!
You jinxed that one!
Got Strasburg for j polanco and eflin. Howd i do?
Nice!
Keeper question. My Barnes (free agent next year) for his $1 Mejda for the next 3 years. Catchers shouldn’t be kept amiright?
Catchers shouldn’t be kept
I guess it could be a bit controversial but?
glossary term for a resurrected ace- “JeezAce”
Ha, not bad, not sure it says what it is immediately like Zombino
10 team H2H keeper. Move Pete Alonso and Paddack for Bellinger? I have Hoskins at 1B and Bellinger could anchor my OF. Too much to give for Bellinger? Thanks!
Sure
Clint frazier or c walker ros 10 team ops.
Walker
No-va. Amiright?
FIP *blows rasberry* – stupid new-fangled stats.
Somewhere Murray Chass nods smugly.
Haha
Late boomer #neverforget
Pound sign neverforget?
You’ve obviously forgotten haha. My suggestion of late boomer as a glossary entry for a hitter experiencing a power surge late in his career was rejected in the most egrgious act of its kind in the entire history of Razzball.
It doesn’t work for a pitcher, but it would be remiss of me not to take the opportunity to air this particular grievance.
Ha, yeah, I had forgotten about that one…Hey Culligan Man!
Almost as *egregious* as my spelling.
Culligan Man?
Hey Culligan Man!
Ah, not a cultural icon I was familiar with. Looks like he deals with saltiness perhaps.
It was a term JFOH recommended that was shot down and he’s been saying it for every glossary suggestion since
Ha!
Looking to add a third piece to trade, how would you rank these for an OBP league: C Taylor, A Gordon, J Peraza, , M Sano, B Dozier, Healey, F Galvis, Schoop
thanks!
Peraza, Schoop then a bunch of whatever
I own Vogelbach and Franco. Either one worth dropping for Dozier?
I want to pick up all the guys you say – but it’s a ten teamer. I just don’t have space for them all.
Vogel
Judge or Bellinger ROS?
Judge, flip a coin
Hunter Dozier or Kiermier? Kiermier can give you 15-20 SB with decent power if he can stay on the field.
Also, Gausman, Rodon (peripherals looking good this year)?
This is for a standard roto league that using QS instead of wins.
Dozier — Gausman
I’ve added Roman Quinn everywhere, just in case he starts again over the weekend and has a nice series in Coors. Has anyone else done the same?
Just picked him up because Moose is benched today and I’m a bat short.
I’d add Kingery, but maybe on Quinn, depends on league depth
I just tried to add Quinn and he was gone in all my leagues, ha
Better 2-start option for next week?
Pineda vs BAL/@HOU
or
Happ @LAA/@SF
ROS? Neither?
Neither, but Happ if you have to
Ok to cut peraza in a 12 team league with an mi spot. It is obp too. He was benched again yesterday. He is hitting low in the order. I wonder if he even will have a spot once gennett returns and if Senzel comes up and is ever healthy. I hate the fact I am even thinking about it but it is a dead spot on my roster. I added Jorge Polanco a while ago. Hes hitting but no sb. This move would be to activate lindor. Kingery was added. Thanks
Btw, peraza on bench again today. That’s two straight games on the bench now
Sure
In a 14 team HLD+SV league, would you hold onto Betances?
Vs. who?
Sano or Betances for one DL spot in OBP?
Sano
Roto-Won on the radio with the Fly Index. Gotta love baseball. Can come up with a new metric at any time
Huh?
He was on XM discussing some new index that takes fly ball distance and launch angle into account. Called the fly index.
Ah… Nice!
Shockingly enough those with longer fly ball averages and better fly ball launch angles are projected to hit more Home Runs.
That does track
Grey-Springer or Mize, Cease and Gateral?
Springer
Trade Paxton and EE for Bellinger?
Sure
Keeper btw
Dahl is coming off the IL shortly.
I need to drop either him or
Muncy
Travis Shaw
Eduardo Escobar
Thank you
Escobar
LICHer
Meh
WITCHer
Meh
H/H points………was offered his Kimbrel for my K Giles
Meh
Grey, would u drop Paddock to pick up Strasburg?
Sure
Need to cut one player to activate Dahl. Who do you cut out of mikolas, woodruff, vogelbach or schoop? Obp league also k/9. Mikolas is not as valuable in this format unless he can get qs, and keep his whip and era good but he was plenty valuable last year. It’s been a rough start.
Vogel

This is my jam!
No lie, I Shazam’d this song during the show, ha
Haha been listening all day.
Nicoli was such a dope… I liked him too.
Yeah, same, but as soon as they showed his family I knew he was done for
Oh snap you’re right.
Patri knew he was loyal.
Surprisingly she blinded by the D. Ha.
She didn’t want to be blinded by the D and may not be going forward but what can she do there… Nicola is dead, so no other side
Didn’t Mike know right away tho? He made that face when she told him. I hate him. He is a weirdo.
Who’s Mike? The ginger? All gingers are bad
Michelangelo. The super mario looking dbag.
Oh! He’s the worst too… how dead is Alberto gonna be any day now?
https://tg24.sky.it/spettacolo/serie-tv/gomorra-la-serie/2019/04/14/gomorra-4-nicola-ucciso-mickey.html
Okay I’m totally here for reading Gomorra reviews in Italian
I’m using duolingo to learn Italian as we speak haha.
OsteoporosACE
Haha, that’s not bad… Will add it to the list
Gereacetrick
Not feeling it
Just ask offered Eaton and Flaherty for Bell and Meadows my head is saying yes but my gut is saying no because of Meadows my pitching kinda stinks and I still would have Smoak and Abreu at first and Benny, Stanton, Rosario as my main OF, what does the wish Grey say, stand pat or pull the trigger
I’d take Flaherty if you need pitching, it’s fair
Yeah I mean my rotation is Greinkie, Price, urius(bullpen now), Castillo, lucchesi, and Merrill Kelly so it could use some help.
The rest of my team shakes out like this
Grandal (c)
Abreu/Smoak/Bell (1st)
Hampson/ Odor (2nd)
Arenado/Senzel (3rd)
Tim Anderson/DeJong/Tatis (ss)
Benny/Stanton/Rosario/Meadows (of)
Sounds like you need pitching
Grey, would u drop Paddock to pick up Strasburg?
Sure
Winker or C. Walker ros? 12 team 6×6 total bases
Thanks
Walker
Scott Kingery or Dansby Swanson
Kingery
Hey Grey- I’m normally loath to trade bats for arms, but with the pitcherpocalypse I feel desparate. Is Mancini too much for Wheeler?
Thanks
Wheeler if you need pitching… Mancinis value won’t get any higher.
Take wheeler
need utility guy for 14 team mixed hth cats.
J Upton or J Bour?
One is playing (albeit like dogsh*t) other is out til maybe July
Tatis lead off spot. Guess he boned Mrs pujols then
Haha
Drop Skaggs or Heaney for Montas? Or hold?
Heaney
Marcell Ozuna for Josh Hader in keeper league which side do you want
Ozuna
In a 12 team saves league, which one would you drop – Givens, Romo or Ian Kennedy. Which ones do you think have a chance at more than 15 saves?
You, Michael, have a better chance at 15 saves than any of those humps.
Ha! When you don’t pay for saves, humps are what you get…
NL-only keeper w/ 3 minors slots. I think I’m good enough to go for it this yr. Give $5 Senzel and $1 Toussaint for $32 E. Diaz and $1 Gorman? My “closers” are Minter and Romo.
Grey,
Minter has looked bad, and as much as I’d like to think the Braves would sign Kimbrel, I just dont see it happening. Largely because of their international draft restrictions,and having to give up a 2nd round pick as well as the $ that goes with the slot. So with that being said who would you rather speculate on for saves ROS Minter or Jeffress ?
Also in a QS league best waiver SP to add Happ, or Hill?
In a deep 10 team OPS,QS league (14 keepers)
Which side wins:
Sale/ Aguilar for Freeman/ Paddack
Hey Grey,
I feel like I have one too many hitters. Should I try to trade any of these guys/drop someone? Especially with Anderson and Dozier on the waivers and Odor coming back soon(ish)? Help! :)
C – Molina
2B – Shaw
3B – Turner
SS – D. Gordon
OF – Betts
OF – Harper
OF – Benintendi
OF – Dahl
OF – D. Santana
OF – Pederson
UT – Votto
UT – Profar
UT – Pederson
DL – Odor
Thanks!
Sorry 1B should be added – 1B Goldshmidt
and no I don’t think duplicate Pedersons exist!
