(NOTE: THIS POST WAS RELEASED EARLY THIS WEEK ON OUR PATREON. IT’S $10/MONTH OR $13/MONTH WITH AN EXTRA WEEKLY PODCAST.)
I saw an article in the Denver Post the other day that said something like, “The Rockies should rebuild, and Bud Black is the man to do it.” And I became The Joker. I started tiptoeing down a staircase in bright makeup, twirling and cackling. Then I threw my computer out my window, hit a squirrel, who lawyered up and sued me, taking 51% control of Razzball. Which is why you can now find acorns in the Razzball store. Hope you understand why I have to say nice things about Jeff McNeil, too. Let’s be fair and honest and charitable, Bud Black was a good pitching coach. That the Rockies hired a pitching-first guy in Coors says all you need to know about how dumb that organization is, but rebuild? If Bud could lure Mark Reynolds out of retirement, he would play him over Ryan McMahon, because of his experience. Bud Black is the worst manager in baseball, and, as Quentin Tarantino says, that’s a very impressive feat. I bring this all up, not to crap on Bud, though that’s fun, but to warn you I only half trust him to play Brendan Rodgers. On our Prospectonator, we project every imaginable rookie, based on 162 games played. So, all things being equal, Alex Kirilloff is number one, Ke’Bryan Hayes is number two, but not that far down the list is Brendan Rodgers. He could be even the shallowest of leagues viable. Assuming the Rockies don’t lure back Mark Reynolds. Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
BUY
Francisco Mejia – Someone says anything about Zunino–“ACKCHUALLY, I like Francisco Mejia more.” Yes, hundred percent with red underlines. Zunino does get into these crazy streaks, like frosted-hair Justin Timberlake, but ACKCHUALLY, I like Francisco Mejia more.
Eric Haase – “My grandfather left me these Gregg Jefferies rookie cards, and I was wondering if you had any interest.” “These are great…coasters.” That’s my imaginary grandkids going into Pawn Stars in 2057 talking to Big Hoss. Nonsense aside, Haase has big-time power. He’s a 70-grade power guy, who hit 28 HRs in 102 minor league games in 2019. Also, sounds like Wilson Ramos could be out for a while.
Garrett Cooper – Who’s been super duper? Garrett Cooper. Puttin’ on the hitz. Though, he’s battling a day-to-day injury, so keep an eye on that.
Danny Santana – He should be playing full-time now that Franchy was optioned. Though, Duran should be playing full-time over Dannys. Is that going to happen? Have no idea. Duran is on the Olympic Dream Team with Homer Bailey, Todd Frazier and pitcher, Anthony Gose. An absolute Who’s Who of Where Are They Now. Someone find Kirk Nieuwenhuis, your Olympic dream awaits.
Keston Hiura – Just gave you my Keston Hiura fantasy when he was recalled. It was written on the reverse side of a barn.
Seth Brown – Went back and looked at my Seth Brown fantasy from last year, and here’s my favorite tidbit, “Seth Brown’s minor league stats last year: *fracks fifteen hundred miles into the earth’s core, hikes down into the deepest, darkest cavern that my needless fracking created, realizes I forgot my megaphone, hikes fifteen hundred miles back up while wondering if you could frack all the way to China, when at the surface of earth, grabs a megaphone, then returns back down fifteen hundred miles, finding it an easier go this time because I’ve done the trip once before, when I reach the deepest, darkest cavern in the earth, I blow into the megaphone the world’s loudest chef’s kiss* That’s how good Seth Brown’s minor league stats are! In Triple-A, Seth Brown went 101/37/104/.297/8 in 451 ABs.” And that’s me quoting me!
Jonathan Villar – “Hey, this is Gary Cohen and welcome back to Mets baseball. Due to injuries, Jonathan Villar will be playing eight positions today, and acting 3rd base coach. Well, he should have no problems with the signs.”
Edmundo Sosa – Ya know who he reminds me of? Aledmys Diaz, when on the Cards (and kinda still). The Mets ruin everyone; the Cards just find guys.
Taylor Walls – You want Brujan? I want Wander! How about Josh Lowe?! Right, but you’re not thinking about team finances, so here’s Taylor Walls.
Owen Miller – Standard 4020. Don’t know what that is? You need to study the glossary. It’s boring hitters that give two hits in four at-bats and no other stats. It’s how their stats appear in a box score.
Brad Miller – Sticking with the newly established Miller theme, a schmotato by any other name would smell as Brad.
Jurickson Profar – With Grisham out for who knows how long — can Grisham keep his injury stint as brief as a pelican? — the Padres went to the Jurickson store, and they weren’t out.
Akil Baddoo – Wait a humdinger of a minute, Tuffy Rhodes never got hot a second time! Yabba dabba Baddoo has heated up again.
Josh Lowe – Nearly made him the lede, but I figured I’d give y’all a week off from prospecting out of the minors. Yes, Jarren Duran, Vidal Brujan, et al (not the Israeli airline) are still options.
Adam Duvall – His walk-up song is, “If You Don’t Know Me by Now.” Take a hint.
Cornelius Randolph – Finally, the old man from Trading Places is fantasy relevant. So, this is a former-1st rounder by the Phils, who’s been a smoke show in Triple-A. Was hesitant about including Randolph, because he’s not on the 40-man, and might only be 12-team NL-Only worthwhile at this point, but might be a late breakout a’la Trent Grisham. Podcaster Geoff mentioned him to me; now I’m mentioning him to you. For shallower leagues, there’s Roman Quinn, who was just called up.
DJ Stewart – With Hays out and Brandon Hyde unable to get into the stadium parking lot because no one recognizes him, Stewart should be the fill-in, and he’s been hot.
Guillermo Heredia – The Braves took a major hit when they lost Ozuna, but who cares about the freakin’ Braves, this is fantasy! Heredia should see ABs with Ozuna out, and I’m struggling to say something else nice. Um…He’s 30, so maybe he has some wisdom? I don’t know.
Manuel Margot – Looks like 50 Cent, has initials like Eminem, and a manager who makes you want to sing, Cash Ruins Everything Around Me.
JT Brubaker – This is a Streamonator call, like the call it makes to Macy’s.
David Peterson – This is also a Streamonator call. “I want to throw a party, and they say if there’s a lot of people there, more people will show up, so, I was wondering if you have any extra mannequins.”
Paul Fry – Rather than list 5,000 closers no one wants to pick up — Michael Fulmer anyone? Rafael Montero? Hansel Robles? Ryan Stanek? See, there ya go, you have pseudo-closers to grab too. — I’m going to list a few Mr. MRs for your broken winged bullpens. So, Cesar Valdez sucks, but won’t be replaced because the O’s want to trade him. Fry could be the unlikely replacement, and, if not, he’s still great for Ks. The walks do worry me a bit though.
Chad Green – Here’s a Double Whopper with cheese. Green could get saves while Aroldis is sick, and Green throws cheese.
Andrew Kittredge – How long until other teams realize you develop middle relievers, stall all your prospects until they’re ready to explode, then trade for pitchers from the Pirates?
Scott Barlow – His numbers are so butter that ten out of ten Butter-Heads look at Barlow’s stats and think to themselves, “Can I put that on toast?” And those people know real butter! Also, Butter-Heads are not to be confused with Butterfingers or butterfaces.
SELL
Juan Soto – This is brutal. Someone hold me while I write this. Metaphorically! Get off of me! This is a Sell I don’t want to write at all…I’m struggg–Damn, I was typing this by letting the tears coming down my cheek hit the keyboard. There’s no easy way to say this, but Sexy Dr. Pepper appears injured. He’s not right. Something is so wildly off with his swing path, that I can only imagine he’s subconsciously altering his swing to take pain off his shoulder. Either that or the offseason seminar on Swing Mechanics with Yandy Diaz was not a good idea. His Exit Velocity, xBA and xSLG aren’t bad. It’s just his Launch Angle is goofy. Cancel the Green Thumb Guy, Soto will kill your weeds. I’m emphasizing here to not sell him low. Don’t sell him for a summer job digging holes in the desert for the mafia, but I would look at our Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer and explore options.
Navarez or Zunino?
Omar
in the future there will be a “behind the career of t.chatwood” in it we’ll find out 2 things, one, that after the 2018 season he went to a hypnotist who tricked him into thinking he was a pitcher without a completely horrible BB rate. the hypnotist’s mind spell had a shelf life that ran out may 30th 2021. the second thing is far stranger; he has access to voodoo dolls of his managers, rather than poke them with needles or knives or burning them, he sticks little barbie sized headphones on them and sends in a track that constantly reads: ” chatwood is good, leave in chatwood at his current role, and do not change chatwood’s role for he is good”
Would you offer Gausman/Betts for Yaz/Cole? 14 team H2H points.
How good is Gausman? Mf looks like a Cy Young to me. Love that splitter.
I dropped cooper for hunter Dozier, is this a mistake? Also consider long term not only hot streaks, Also available dylan moore, kebryan hayes, zach mckinstrey, lorenzo Caine, hunter renfroe, are any of these better than dozier? (including cooper)
Sounds good — Hayes is better if off IL
Redraft H2H mixed standard 5 X 5.
1. Please rank for ROS: Eovaldi, Alzolay, Matz. Thank you.
2. At or near the top of my 3 leagues despite lots of injuries. Just hope more guys come off IL this week than go on.
1. Alzolay, Eovaldi
The guy who wants Bohm from me, is offering Bryant again. he wants Bohm and Conforto for kris bryant? Make the deal?
should i offer either Conforto or Bohm for Bryant?
Bohm
Offer Bohm stright up for Bryant?
I’d take Bryant
so which offer should I make?
A) Bohm ($5) for Kris Bryant ($14)
B) Bohm ($5) and Conforto ($19) for Bryant ($14)
Add Dick-Rod of PIT to the list above?
Who is the drop? Montas @COL…[email protected]…or Romano? Thanks!
Montas
Would you take Ketel for Soto or is that selling Soto too low. Soto another 0-3 day with groundouts.
Too low
Is Yordan for Ketel a good deal? Yordan has been missing games here and there due to “sore legs” and now the wrist issue which may land him on IL.
Sounds fair
Grey, my staff is
Ryu
S.Gray
Gausman
Rodon
Bassitt
Should i add Framber Valdez or stream that spot?
Add Framber
Hey Grey, trying to make a decision on who to pitch this week, what’s your recommendation, the computer says Civale but I’m not certain:
Ryu v Houston
Civale @ Baltimore
thank you!
Ryu
16 teamer with QS and k/9. now with far more injured hitters and stashed pitchers back. gotta drop at least one of these SP (max 1425 innings roto and also have 5 RP).
nazi in exile/means/framber/odorizzi/ryu/gausman/mahle/carmart/heaney. gotta be heaney or carmart. near dynasty, can keep positional maxes for active players that total 19 including up to 5 SP elig and 5 RP elig (got lucky on gausman as RP this year)
Heaney
Please order these SP in a 5×5 roto redraft league ROS. We use QS.
Wheeler, Lynn, Giolito
Thanks.
Lucas, Wheeler
Awesome, thanks.
Where would you put Kershaw in a QS league? In front of or behind Lynn?
I have an offer of Wheeler for my Lynn and was considering a counter.
About same, prolly just in front
Cole Irvin is hot garbage
Indeed
Tyler O’Neill over Bohm, E Rosario, or hold?
Over Rosario
Well, my claim for Ozuna was successful. Seems he’s got bigger problems than a couple of busted fingers though!
Oh, and Murray Slaughter>Captain Stubing ;-)
Ha, I’d say Murray all day, for sure
Ozuna’s likely done, no way they let him play
Not a good weekend for fans of the classics. BJ Thomas too…
I hadn’t realized he wrote Hooked on a Feeling
Probably because he didn’t haha. He originally recorded it. (sorry to be that guy)
I’ll always associate him with Newman on a bicycle…
Meh, no worries, Cougs told me tho, and I’m not correcting her!
“Good knowledge Cougs!” *two thumbs up*
Haha, yup!
He didn’t write his hit songs.He did release it before the ooga chaka version by Blue Velvet(wasn’t there a David Lynch reference to something last week?)
And I won’t be correcting Cougs on any of that either — winkie emoji
I see Luzardo is on the waiver wire, but I assume he has minimal near/intermediate value (is this correct)? I want an SP — Luzardo ir Kikuchi?
Luzardo
Snell is fucking trash.
I blame you for me drafting
This noodle arm bum
I blame myself for drafting him too…Sorry, Grimey
It’s ok… A rare miss! Hahaha
Haha, thanks for not noticing the hundreds of others
Hopefully it is a mental thing and he can trash the Mets and we can feel better?I just traded for Snell last week (sold Gallo) and this was my first week with him =) WELCOME TO THE TEAM SNELL! haha. I feel like baseball is even harder to predict then normal this year and with the huge amount of injuries and underperformances I don’t even know what to do anymore!
Want to know the biggest pissoff I faced these last 2 weeks? So weekly league I start Graveman last week who gets 0 appearances and then goes on covid. I Lost in svs/hlds and wins both by 1 because and he had only 1 RP Hudson who got a win + 4 svs/hlds…. This week Graveman is off with covid and again I am vs 1 RP user who happens to own Montero who now ties my 3 RP with 3 svs/hlds because of course he is now the only late inning option.
What a frustrating year!
Romano or Clase?
Romano
Any love for Edward Olivares? Hitting close to .400 with 8 SB in AAA.
Yes, I grabbed him
I did too. Solid start, hitting 6 2/4 with a R
Maybe we catch a little lighting in a bottle. Maybe we drop him next week. The price was right.
Yeah, agreed
What about Olivares for B Rodgers ROS? or Olivares for Rosario
Great call on Nate vs MIA last night
Rodgers
Rosario
Olivares or Nate Lowe ROS? Thank you.
Lowe
Need a SS (points league)
Polanco
Villar
Adames
Need one (points league)
Cooper
Donaldson
Calhoun
Pavin Smith
Add Wong to the 2nd list
And McKinstry
Polanco
Donaldson
Is Alcantara at Boston a sit in a weekly h2h with QS? Stream has a negative $14
Who do you think is a better play: Eduardo Rodriguez at home v MIA ($12.4) or Matz @ Cle ($7.0)?
Trying to get Ks and a QS or 2 while avoiding complete blow ups.
I’d start Sandy anywhere
EdRod
edmundo is just a backup to dejong right? when dejong gets back he will just be a bench. asking cuz i need a ss and was offered to me for almost nothing.
Also, Villar or Cj Cron for 2022.
Yes, when DeJong returns
Cron
Grey,
Wheeling and Dealing today. 6×6 with Holds and OPS. Current Roster:
C Mercedes 1b Vlad 2b Wong SS Tatis 3b Machado CI Alonso MI Lindor OF: Acuna, Bellinger, Kyle Lewis, Kiriloff, Schwarber Util: Baez
SP: Bieber, Lynn, Means, Trevor Rogers, Mahle
P: Diego Castillo, Victor Gonzalez
RP: Reyes, Romano, Clase
B: Luis Castillo, Kyle Hendricks and Cease
IL: Luzardo, Plesac, Conforto
Would you trade Clase and Schwarber for Blackmon and Edwin Diaz?
Sure
Ugh, Luzardo was activated. Would you cut him to do the trade or would you rather not do the trade and keep Luzardo stashed in my IL.
I’d want Luzardo, or at least see how he looks today
Hello Grey,
12 Team H2H 6×6 OPS Redraft
Please rank top 3 ROS:
Schwarber, Lewis, Santander, O’Neill
Cooper, Aguilar
Thanks
Sorry, just the top between the 1B’s
Lewis, Santander
Cooper
How would you rate the following healthy bats?
Hunter Renfroe
Justin Upton
Nate Lowe
Zach McKinstry
Andrew McCutchen
Trevor Larnach
Who is better IL stash? Severino,Gallen, or Biggio?
Thanks!
Lowe, Larnach
Biggio
How about between Gallen and Severino? Thanks.
Severino
I was offered Civale for my Muncy. I probably need offense a bit more than pitching at this point and it feels like pitching is much deeper than hitting in any event. This is a definite reject, right? Thanks.
Not good
Grey,
I am looking for a replacement for Yanothan Daza. Possible replacements:
Avasail Garcia
Rob Refsnyder
Harold Ramirez
Guillermo Heredia
Avisail
Even though he is facing scherzer?
Louis Castillo or Aaron civale ROS?
Civale
I Continue to be frustrated by L. Castillo – argh. Finally come to terms that he won’t be turning it around and accept an offer of K. Gibson?
Meh, in most leagues that’s a streamer
Thanks Grey. They both feel like streamers this year… and not sure when to successfully stream Castillo – maybe when it’s really hot in the summer! Prefer Castillo in a standard 10 team NL only roto to Gibson in a standard 10 team AL only roto?
Yes
My Strasburg for his E Rosario?
No
1. Pivetta or L Garcia?
2. Will Kepler’s replacement be a mix (Larnach, Garlick)? Or do you see one emerging?
Luis
Refsnyder/Garlick/Larnach for 2 spots
Happy Sunday Grey,
11 team league 6×6 with holds and OPS the extra categories. We use Quality Starts instead of Wins. We have daily roster moves so I can plug in my pitcher whenever they start.
C Mercedes 1b Vlad 2b Segura SS Tatis 3b Machado CI Alonso MI Lindor OF: Acuna, Bellinger, Kyle Lewis, Kiriloff, Schwarber Util: Baez
SP: Bieber, Lynn, Means, Trevor Rogers, Mahle
P: Cease, Victor Gonzalez
RP: Reyes, Romano, Clase
B: Luis Castillo, Kyle Hendricks and Alec Bohm
IL: Luzardo, Plesac, Conforto
If I keep Luzardo stashed on my IL it will freeze my roster. I have a couple of options before that happens. Which of these would you do?
1. I can trade Segura for Diego Castillo and cut Bohm for either Brendon Rodgers or Wong.
2. Instead of trading for a reliever I can try to cut Bohm for one of these players: Barlow, Manoah, Tyler O’Neill or incase nobody on my teams goes on the IL in the next week or so to switch with Luzardo I can stash Brujan or Franco before my roster is frozen. Thanks!
I did the Castillo trade I can always cut him clase or another reliever to get space for luzardo and get brujan when he is up to replace the second baseman (Wong/Rodgers) I’ll cut bohm for.
1 If I try to upgrade a reliever would you rather have clase or Castillo?
2 Would you cut any of my pitchers for Monoah in a qs league?
3 O’Neill is on fire I know you said schwarber over O’Neill. Just checking nothing has changed.
Thanks again
1. Castillo
2. Sure
3. Schwarber had 7 HRs in May, if you want O’Neill go for it
Which of these would you cut in my qs league for monoah?: bieber Lynn Luis Castillo Hendricks means Trevor Rogers cease mahle
Castillo
1. Sure, Rodgers
Would you trade Paddack or Trevor Roger for Pete Alonso?
Thanks
Sure, either, that order
Acuna or Bregman, Yordan and Trevor Rogers in dynasty? thanks
Acuna
Gray- 5×5 Roto Question
Received an offer of Ryu and Bryant and we’d be getting Mookie Best and Bohm.
Our outfield has been decimated and we’ve been under performing on offense (Soto, Moistasskiss, Conforto, and Harper) and our pitching staff besides Ryu (Start 6) is:
Cole
Sonny G
Robbie Ray
Greinke
Paddack
McClanahan
Luis Garcia
Kluber (IL)
Would you pull the trigger?
Betts side
1. Kaprelian at Seattle or L Garcia v Red Sox?
2. Same two guys…streamers or could one or both stick on a -2 teamer?
3. Is Fulmer worth an add over a good holds and ratio guy like Tepera or Pagan?
1. Luis
2. Luis could stick
3. Depends if you need saves, then over Tepera
Grabbed McCann for the batty call on Thursday, now im torn between 2 catchers…who is the drop between McCann and William Contreras?
McCann
Grandal, McCann, Kelly or Garver?
Yasmani
omg, you can give your caps lock a rest for a while. You won’t need it. Yikes.
Ha
Rank for rest of season. None will be a starter, so I prefer upside.
Brendan Rodgers
Ty France
Willy Adames
You did
T. Walker over Bundy, Manoah, Bassitt, Cease Or Mize or Hold ?
Over Mize
See, that’s why I drafted Hendriks in the 6th round. 2 saves in 1 day!
Ha, nice
Thanks! I appreciate your obviously honest opinion.
Haha, of course!
Refsnyder or Danny Santana?
Dannys
Hoping you Americans are having a nice long weekend.
I just traded Bichette and Kimbrel for Mondesi and Buehler. So, did I make a great deal, or a really great deal?
Great!
Lindor is so trash…
I am dropping him; fuck it.
Done with this Bullshit.
Grimey!
This Urias outing is not entertaining me.
Well fuck that.
Not so much
Feyereisen or Fulmer for saves?
Fulmer
That might be the low point of John Means’ career.
What?
Hamilton?
Yeah haha.
Haha
@Grey: feyereisen with another save. would you take him over clase for saves?
Nope
thoughts on jordon montgomery in 12 team roto leagues? anything more than a streamer or nah?
Streamer
Wheeler 14K’s. Another double digit outing. Do you like him more than Lynn now in a QS league?
Sure
So on the day I get my #2 pick back, my #1 goes on the IL.
Shit tacos, as they (used to) say.
Ha, same
Hey! Love your write ups. In a 12-team weekly roto league (H, R, TB, RBI, BB, K, SB / K, W, QS, ERA, WHIP, SV/HD).
Was just offered Betts, Kyle Seager, Giolito for Rendon, Bryant, and Cron. Thoughts?
I also have Moncada and picked up Bohm as 3B alternatives. My current pitching staff is Lynn, Buehler, Hendricks, Fried, Mahle, Bundy and hurt Gallen.
Betts side it’s fair
Villar or Polanco at SS
Polanco
Sorry if already covered – Staumont to IL wondering if Zimmer gets most SVs? Wish they’d let Barlow close or will they leave Barlow as setup and give G. Holland another shot? Mention Holland only bc of experience and they gave him 2.75 – KC so fickle
Elisier back for Tues? Odorizzi Weds? Will grab one hopefully
Barlow would be my grab…but could be any or all of them
Got the monacle
Hey Grey! Thanks to Story, Nico, Bader, Moore, I’m stuck needing to drop one of Fulmer or Robles. Saves (no holds). Who would your drop be to go for saves? Thanks!
Fulmer
Sixto threw a 20 pitch bullpen! What do you expect from him this year?
Nothing? Maybe 50 IP, of decent pitching
Mornin just goin over stuff and will have to drop either Dannys or Mountcastle – whadya think?
Enjoy your weekend brotha, appreciate you
Dannys — thanks, you too!
Say it ain’t so!
Not Juan Soto
I won’t sell low
I’m in a dynasty bro…
Haha
Kepler or Carlson ros?
Carlson
Who do you like for a better stream this wknd Eovaldi or E Rod vs MiA qs 6×6
Eovaldi
Hiura or Rodgers how close
Rodgers
Grey god the GOAT
Hk x MC coming back next week
Thanks
@Grey: weekly roto. Need a DH spot to fill. Which 2 do you like for next week?
S Brown – 3 @ sea, 3 @ col
Cooper – 2 @ tor, 4 @ pit
Dannys – 4 @ hou, 3 @ nyy
Margot – 4 @ nyy, 3 @ tex
O’Neil – 3 @ lad, 4 vs cin
Profar – 3 @ chc, 4 vs nym
Thanks!
O’Neill, Dannys
Trade Sano for Chapman?
Matt or aroldis
Nah
Thank you for highlighting Rodgers in your 1st paragraph in the Buty/Hold/Sell column — made it easy to quickly address the Story IL.
Any hunch on how long Story will be gone?
Hopefully 10 days, no idea
Soto for the Greek God or Bellinger
Selling too low?
Could work out, but I don’t trust Cody for that
Would you take Castellanos over Cody?
Nope
Currently have maeda on IL. Would you dump him to stash severino or sale? Leaning severino since he seems closest to return
Severino
Who stays — Vaughn or Happ?
Happ
10T 5×5 redraft
Hayes is nearing his return. Like him better than Swanson, Riley or Santander for Util?
Already have JoRam at 3B
Thanks
Santander
League with category for holds and another for saves. Current relievers are Reyes Romano clase Victor Gonzalez. Working on a trade for Edwin Diaz but I need to include either clase or Gonzalez in the trade. Who would you send away in the trade?
Gonzalez
My team has returned to the middle of the pack in my 12 teamer, h2h league. I drafted for hitting but no one hits. Ten hitting categories so even high average no pop guys contribute. My pitching has been pretty good just like everyone else in this year of no-hitters. Here is the squad with questions below.
Kelly
Freeman, Abreu, Chapman
Trea, Albies, Polanco
Winker, Happ, Kepler, Peralta, Benny (must play 5)
DH Yordan
IL: Springer
Burnes, Gaus, Stras, Adbert, Hill, Eovaldi , L Garcia
Neris, D Castillo, D Williams, Pagan
(Saves and holds are separate cats… I stream my holds guys depending upon games played and matchups that week.)
WW: Vaughn, Cooper, Soler, Frazier
Pivetta, Corbin, Matz, Kaprelian, Bundy, Heaney
Tepera, Montero,
1. Any swaps?
2. Any particular area/category you would trade for???
1. Meh, I’d prolly stream Eovaldi and matchups off waivers 2. Your OF appears shallow…Strasburg for an OF?
Nice. Especially with Yordan and now Kepler missing time. Thoughts on my M Chapman and Stras for his Bergman and Tapia?
Works for me
Every year my team turns it on the week of my birthday – 2021 is not happening- such a frustrating year cause of all my Buy Lows- have you ever been in this situation before? Is it just one of these years where you need to go down with the ship instead of swapping out the underperformers?
Happy birthday! Your league is shallow, you should pick up hot bats
so are you saying I should cut bait on guys like Matt Chapman, etc?
Maybe not him specifically or maybe…His xBA is .198
Hello Grey,
Utility question for today:
Schwarber vs Peralta and B.Anderson
or
Riley vs Walker
Thanks
Riley
Can you also rank Schwarber, O’Neill, Blackmon in 6×6 with ops the extra category.
Thanks
Schwarber, O’Neill
Can you rank Wong Rogers segura 6×6 league with ops the extra category
Sorry meant Wong Rodgers and Segura.
Thanks
Rogers, Wong
Over last couple of weeks I’ve noted in comments Soto is not right and might be time to sell and each time you agreed. Breaks my heart too Grey. You know who’s next on the sell list? Mookie. Bum shoulder, wonky back…on his way to the worst season of his career. Can’t catch up to the smoke cause of all of his nagging injuries and pitchers are throwing faster than ever. Not exactly a recipe for success. Hate to say it, but he’s the next guy for your sell list.
Yeah, you might be right unfortunately
Who’s gonna tell him?
Not me
I’ll tell him. He is a legend in his own mind. Never liked him never will. More for personal reasons. He was born and lived with a silver spoon in his mouth and a gold one in other place. Team players actually fell for his poor pitiful Mookie saga and all staged a protest to not play baseball. He is so lame he takes a knee for the National Anthem. Is Mookie upset because he may or may not be related to the current/former Duchess of Sussex (now bff with Oprah) and not the Queen, or that he has relatives that played in and still in MLB? Long time girlfriend, had child and three years later decides the statute of limitations is up on how long he can hold off marrying the mother of his child. Wtf?
Why does his sorry ass get sympathy from his entire team? Good thing he has a back-up. Bowling… He lives in the same county as I do. I will protest his statue being built and placed in the town square in Franklin, TN,
Would you drop Happ, Santander, E. Rosario, or Tyler O’Neil. Need to drop one to get a legal lineup. Thanks!
Rosario
h/h points 12 team..redraft
would you trade Devers for Ohtani ( use as DH )
& pickup A Riley to play 3rd
Nope
Need to drop 1: Ian Happ, Tyler O’Neil or Santander? Thanks!
Santander
