*nudges the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell, and it doesn’t move* “Oh my God, the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell is dead!”
Drowsily, the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell wakes on the couch, “I’m not dead, you idiot. I’m hungover. Could you please stop screaming?”
“Woo hoo! The Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell is alive!”
Rubbing temples, sitting up and asking, “What time is it?”
“Baseball season time!”
“Stop screaming, you moron!”
So, welcome back to another year of the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell, or as I like to call it, “Pick up this player in your league if he’s available because he’s rostered in less than 50% of leagues, but only if you’re carrying a player who is worse than him” and “Trade away this player who is rostered in more than 50% of leagues, but only if you’re getting a fair price.” You can see why I went with Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell instead.
Last year my 1st Buy of the year was Jackson Merrill and I said to bet on him to win the ROY, but split your bet with Jackson Chourio and Jackson Holliday for the AL. As Meat Loaf once sang, two out of three ain’t bad. Meat Loaf also said, “Glaze me with ketchup.” That’s a different Meat Loaf. So, this first buy needs to be a walloper to stand up against my Jackson Merrill buy and, boy, do I have a walloper for you: Cam Smith. Let’s go! [runs through a wall] OH YEAH! Is Cam Smith the 24-hour running video on the guy in Lancaster, Pennsylvania who makes iron fencing? No, but I have been watching that cam and, while the guy sleeps, there’s no real need to video him. I just want to see him do ornamental iron doorknobs, I don’t have to watch him shower. Here’s what Itch said about Cam Smith, “The 14th overall pick by the Cubs in this summer’s draft, Smith skipped blissfully through the A-levels in just 27 games, blasting six home runs in 15 Low-A games and slashing .333/.421/.500 in 12 High-A games before rounding out the season with five games with Double-A Tennessee. Houston saw enough to target the 6’3” 224 lb righty in the Kyle Tucker trade. Smith gives the club a ready-soon third-base prospect in the wake of Alex Bregman’s departure, though with Isaac Paredes also in town, Smith may have to try some outfield. He might break into the starting lineup early if it looks like he can handle a corner outfield, and I’d like to hit Grey over the head with a pot handle.” What? So, if you haven’t seen Cam Smith swing, he’s a beaut. Big boy power that’s as easy as it comes, has yet to face pitchers he can’t handle, and can’t play 3rd, so bye-bye Chas McCormick. He is perfection at the plate and we might be looking at the number one prospect in baseball for fantasy. Grab him everywhere. Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
PSYCHE! This post was released a week early for Patreon members. It will be released all year early for Patreons, so if people are getting a jump on you, it’s because they paid the $10. Anyway, the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell:
BUY
Drake Baldwin – With Sean Murphy sidelined, Baldwin’s for the first time I can remember. Wait, that’s Balds win. Baldcomesin2ndtohair usually. Don’t hate the messenger!
Hunter Goodman – Hunter Goodman at catcher for their 1st game today puts a moratorium on “Rockies are a joke” jokes for a full day. If he’s their everyday catcher and Stallings is the backup, Goodman could be a top ten catcher.
Luke Raley – What’s very funny, capital V, is how in drafts, we all want sexy, then you get to day one of the season and you’re like, “Boy, Roman Anthony sure does seem cool on my bench, but Luke Raley is actually playing, that seems better.” I fall for that in drafts too, you’re not immune. The greats at this thing we call fantasy baseball seem to fall for that less, I’m thinking of Rudy. He grabs a guy like Yandy Diaz, who seems wildly boring, then Rudy wins his league. Raley is Yandy-like.
Tyler Soderstrom – I’m dying to see how SacTown plays in the summer. Soderstrom, aka The Sparkling Water, could pop off in the heat. All indications are it is just like the Oakland Coliseum but with less fair territory.
Michael Toglia – You know what time it is? Time for me to remind you that I wrote sleeper posts for guys you’ve forgotten about, first up: Michael Toglia sleeper. Just think, if these sleepers don’t pay off, this might be the last time I mention them. If they do well though? Then I’ll never stop mentioning them. What do you root for here?
Kristian Campbell – Here’s my Kristian Campbell fantasy. At the end, I say he has a 70% chance of breaking camp. I wrote that in October, and it’s now a 100%. Also, one note on this Buy/Sell, there’s no way to include everyone for the 1st week. As the season starts, you drafted a team, you should not panic. Wouldn’t change a lot if I liked my team. With that said, Cam Smith and Kristian Campbell should be at 100% rostered.
Ryan Bliss – Who? SAGNOF! That’s who! See also Brandon Lockridge.
Matt Shaw – So, he has a pretty flawed bat, but he has speed and a spot in the middle of the Cubs’ order, so I’m a cyclops with a monocle.
Curtis Mead – Rays’ prospects, who are stashes, could have their own team. Change the Rays name to another fish and call them the Skates as in the Cheapskates.
Victor Robles – Gave you my Victor Robles sleeper and you didn’t even say, “It was a pleasure to read, thank you, my favorite handsomed-up gentleman.” The least you could say!
Brandon Lockridge – Who? SAGNOF! That’s who! See also Ryan Bliss, but if you’ve already seen Ryan Bliss, don’t go back there again, otherwise you’ll fall into a never-ending spiral of waiver wire additions.
Jung Hoo Lee – If you listen to the podcast for the top 100 outfielders, you can hear BDon and I start to like Lee in real time. He had some back issues of Men’s Health towards the end of camp, so it’s worth being a little conservative on who you drop for him, but he hit third yesterday.
TJ Friedl – Talk about this in my 1st basemen to target post with Au Shizz, but some guys grow on me during draft season. Mostly has to do with where they’re going in drafts, but Friedl grew on me. Hopefully he’s not a fungus. Or even Christopher Morel.
Matt Wallner – Seeing him penciled into the leadoff spot for the Twins, and luckily a pencil is being used since Baldelli puts every hitter at leadoff for one week. Baldelli tried to hit Nolan Arenado at leadoff last year, and he wasn’t even on the Twins. Or good!
JJ Bleday – Gave you my JJ Bleday sleeper a while ago and everyone said, “That’s nice, I will ignore that,” but if you don’t want to ignore it, click the link.
Jorge Soler – He has 40-homer power. Find someone else who is free to acquire with that power, I can’t.
Jose Siri – Saw he stole a few bags in Spring Training and I was like, “I want to believe that’s a sign of things to come but just in case let me look to see what he did previous years in Spring Training,” and one year, he stole ten bags in the spring then only stole 12 bags in the regular season. Ha, Spring Training stats are so useless.
Casey Mize – Yes, the Streamonator is up and running and you can try to stream the first weekend, because the Streamonator is lonely and wants you check him out, but Casey Mize is just a Buy, in general. And Tylor Megill and a dozen or so guys from my starters to target.
Tomoyuki Sugano – This is fascinating, so last year the most talked about starters coming out of Spring Training were: Jared Jones, Casey Mize (again!), Louie Varland, Reese Olson, Jordan Hicks, and Luis Severino. I imagine this year will be equally hit and miss. For every “Griffin Canning looks great in the spring” there will be a “Cristopher Sanchez or Landen Roupp is going to dominant because of their spring.” Wait, all those pitchers could be bad or good. I guess that’s my point. Canning leaving the Angels is interesting, because the Angels make pitchers bad, and the Mets make them good, but those Giants prospects are equally interesting. What does this have to do with Sugano? Nothing really, but he could be good too. Honestly, I’m sorta just waiting to see how guys look in their opening starts, but ready to pounce.
Gavin Williams – Again: Streamonator, but, as I said yesterday, “Gavin’s been blowing gas in the spring and Gavin me heart palpitations if I don’t roster him in any leagues. Again, if the price is as cheap as it’s been, there’s no reason not to flyer. Also: Will Warren, Richard Fitts, AJ Smith-Shawver, David Peterson, Jackson Jobe, Kris Bubic and anyone who looks good to start the year. Keep your options open right now.” And that’s me quoting me!
Aroldis Chapman – Noticing he was basically free in every draft, unlike a woman chained to his bed. You might be forgetting AGNOF of SAGNOF. Saves are saves are saves.
Ryan Pressly – Expect him to be a top ten closer, who was being drafted as if he had some kind of risk. Well, I guess he could be traded at the deadline and lose a closer job at his new team, but, wow, that’s galaxy braining.
Jose Alvarado – Romano might be cooked, and not on like chicken parm, or Romano might get the next save, but Alvarado did look good in the 1st game.
Justin Martinez – The closers in this post do have some commonality: Are they the closer or are they something dot dot dot else? They are worth the price to find out. So, that goes for A.J. Puk too. Yes, there’s a lot of speculation in this post, but of course there is, it’s March.
Chris Martin – Bruce Bochy said Luke Jackson could close and he got bombed out yesterday. Someone else said, “Hold that thought,” and Bochy said, “Sorry, I’ll never find it again.” There’s also Marc Church. Singing Jewel, “Who will save your soul…of your fantasy team that needs saves? Me, Church.” That’s a Jewel B side.
Tyler Holton – Is he the closer? You + Me = No Idea. There’s also Tommy Kahnle, Beau Brieske and Will Vest, put your love to the test, you know, you know, you’ve got to make him express how he feels. For full disclosure, I only have Beau in one league out of all these guys. So, if you wanna grab a Brieske, say ahhhh.
Tony Santillan – There’s a lot of possible closers to grab and watch as they become “not closers” within a week. Though, some of these guys could be the closer for this week and that rolls into being the closer the rest of the year. Now is the time to speculate on handcuffs. Though, Part 2: One Of Thoughs, Alexis Diaz doesn’t sound out long, but, then again, he’s been awful for months. The hierarchy is not clear, either. There’s Santillan, Barlow, Rogers, Ashcraft, Pagan, and, no, I’m not making up any of these names, and that might be the order or not.
Jeremiah Estrada – Robert Suarez’s spring was: Footage not found. He hadn’t appeared in a game for three weeks in the spring, supposedly working in the back fields. Then, in the first game, he didn’t look great. I’m talking red flags up the hoo-ha. Also: ahem, Adam, Jason, I mean, Jason Adam. But Estrada is a middle reliever pickup, if nothing else.
SELL
Max Fried – Because the Yanks lost Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil, I sense people think, “Well, it can’t happen to Max Fried too.” Wrong. Not sure what psychology fallacy term that is: The Worst Case Scenario Fallacy? The Hangman’s Paradox? The Fall Guy’s Lead-In? Or if those were made-up and one of them is just a network exec in the 80’s talking about what show to put on before The Fall Guy. Fried is just as likely to have issues. People drafted him like a dog hanging its head out the window, without a care in the world. I was never close to drafting Fried, and I wouldn’t want him on my team now. I wouldn’t trade him for a Monopoly game board where if you go to jail, you end up in a cell block with Diddy, but I would go to our fantasy baseball trade analyzer and explore options.
1. Would you drop Brenton Doyle for Anthony Volpe?
2. Would you drop Taj Bradley for any of these guys? Ronel Blanco, Jackson Jobe, Jeffrey springs, Bowden Francis, Gavin Williams, Kumar Rocker
Soderstrom or Heliot Ramos?
Man, Pivetta in Sandy Eggo is just such a perfect fit.
Someone rage dropped Ober. Is he worth picking up or are u worried at all?
100%
Please rank the following options for saves:
Pagan, Treinan, Faucher, L. Jackson, Adam
Thank you
Pagan likely only has a 2-3 week shelf life. So short term only.
I like Jackson, Treinan, & Adam in that order for SV.
Adam might be better long-term, as he could take over at some point & has awesome peripherals, & the Friars are gonna win a bunch of games.
I don’t know Faucher well enough to comment.
My .02
In a 12 teamer with pitching cats QS, W, L, HR allowed., ERA, WHIP are either Springs or Arrigheti roster worthy or are they streamers?
Well, well, well…
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/30/new-york-yankees-torpedo-bat
Could you rank Miguel Andujar, Josh Smith, Alan Roden, Yoan Moncada in an AL only.
Thanks.
I need to trade for a corner. Should I target Soderstrom or Burger?
Burger
Hi Grey, thanks for your great work
What is the best play for next week
W Ks ERA
Pfaadt @ WAS or
Baz v PITT
Thank you
Baz
Sugano was a nervous wreck out there today, unless that’s how he always looks!
Need to claim a CF in case Cowser is out. You like Nootbar or Jung Ho Lee?
Noot
So someone got tired of Cam Smith already in the ol’ H2H (12 teams) and dropped him. I have the #2 waiver – the fella who dropped him has the #1 so he’s mine if I want him.
My 3B is J-Ram so can’t put Smith there, and my Util spot is a revolving door of K Campbell, Arraez, Suzuki and Togs.
Togs is the obvious drop for Cam – or should I just drop a middle reliever instead? (it is a Holds league tho and I have a couple of good ‘uns)
Feels like a lateral move with Toglia
True enough. Throw the bucket of cold water on the rookie nookie!
Is this the time when we remove Ober’s first start and random start in June and he has a 2.90 era?
Haha
That tryhard Casas hurt his hand and now he can’t hit I guess! Obviously just early, but knowing he hurt his hand would you back him up with Tork or Manzardo for the time being or just wait out the early season? I would have to drop a bottom end lottery ticket pitcher Baz, Meyer, or Leiter. This is a weekly league with OBP over avg and Quality starts over wins.
My pitching is meh but my hitting is awesome! I got greedy LOL
here is my current team with not drafting a pitcher till 10
1b Casas
2b western
ss Abrams
3b vientos
3 of and 2 ut of carroll, Jrod, Schwarber, Ozuna and T oneal with acuna on IR and Holliday as a bench bat
Incoming junk rotation of Flaherty, Steele, Rey Lopez, Pfaadt, Arighetti, Lugo, Blanco, Olson, Baz Meyer Leiter.
Pitchers went early also so I was like well F them then! I can start max 6 of these pitchers each week.
What the heck should I do about casasssss
Tork
which pitcher would you drop?
Early kudos for being higher on Jazz than most. I followed you into the dark on that one and it’s paying off nicely.
Post script, which SP3/4 has impressed you the most this weekend?
Jesus Luzardo
Tough hitting start so got drubbed in my first week H2H matchup. Made a few moves with your help. Mind taking a peek at the team and commenting on any significant long term weaknesses? For context, 12 teamer.
C – Wil Contreras
CI – Vlad, Machado, Nate Lowe
MI – Altuve, Lindor, Campbell
Of – Tucker, Suzuki, Scott, Cast, Donovan
Util – Nimmo
Bench – C Santana
SP – Yamamoto, Shota, Eovaldi, Eflin,
Add Steer please…talk about subliminal. He has been forgettable so far.
It’s early, tho Carlos Santana is not ownable in a 12 teamer
Taj done at 78 pitches.
Cmon maaaaaan.
Rays gonna Ray
5×5 h2h dynasty drop one of max meyer, nick lodolo, bubba chandler, spencer arrighetti, bowden francis, ronel blanco, or drew rasmussen for taj bradley?
Bubba
My god the Rockies are a terrible team defensively.
Very bad
The good: CES moved up to cleanup!
The bad: started 0-2 with 2 K’s
The ugly: killed the Reds rally with a GIDP.
Ha
Would like a Giants win, but I’ve gotta admit the crowd counting down the pitch clock after every pitch is a good schtick.
Ray fell to pieces there. He was looking so good, too.
Damn, so good
Also – is Jared Jones a drop in a weekly roto 12-teamer? Got 4 bench spots but no IL slot.
Adds would be ASS, Rocker, Schmidt, Darvish, Stroman, Bubba Chandler or just stream that spot.
Thank you.
Yes, drop him…Those options are awful, stream…Or Kumar
Thanks. Would Boyd or T. Meyers move the needle over Kumar?
I prefer either…Go Boyd
Nootbar, McCarthy, Scott II or Rengifo for my UTIL spot on a 12 team roto? Most overall value in a vacuum?
Noot
It’s everyone’s factories candy bar!
Some chocolate bar company is missing a serious marketing opportunity.
Nootbaar!
Watching Bradley pitch & he’s looking electric. Just nasty stuff & great location.
Before this week my opponent was trash talking my bargain bin pitching. He’d picked 5 SP in the first 10 rounds. 3 closers before the 15th.
I took a SP in the 6th and only had 2 through 11 rounds. 3 through 15.
Yeah
Me: 38 IP (and counting) 2.13 ERA, .084 WHIP 4 QS (out of 5 starts), 4 W, 4 SV+HLD
Opponent: 33 IP, 4.09 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 0 QS (of 5 starts), 1 W, 3 SV+HLD
Never spend on pitching. Never. Have I mentioned never? Ne-var. N-E-V-E-R.
You should copy & paste this and publish it every year as the A #1 rule of FBB.
Also why did I take Witt and not Judge at 1.01? Dear god.
Never spend on pitching
Add 2 more QS to my ledger with Woo / Taj.
I <3 my pitching.
Nice!
Finally Sunday Baseball!
In a 10-Tm, NL-Only H2H (OBP).
My INF and UTIL spots are handled by two of Scott II, Winn, and Baty. I’m also holding Kim on my bench.
Current P
SP – King, Gallen, R. Lopez, Pfaadt, Megill, AS-S, Canning, and Roupp
RP – Edw. Diaz and R. Walker
Question
Will you please rank the top 4 from the following to put in my 2 IL spots?
T. Myers, McNeil, Thairo, Lowder, E. Cabrera, Ginkel, Kershaw,
Thank you!
BTW, I really think V. Scott II could be an NL-Only league winner.
Wish I had him in one of those leagues then…why didn’t you tell me in the preseason?
My bad. Won’t happen again. I’m the dumbass that didn’t draft him for $1. I had 7 spots left with $7. The draft goes so fast at the end and I didn’t have him queued, so I didn’t realize he was still there.
Myers, Thairo, Cabrera, Lowder
Thank you!
No problem
Full count to Judge. Civale reached back for that 89mph down the middle high heat fastball and got him swinging.
Just kidding. HR blast.
Hahaha
That was such a little league BP fastball. Ugly.
Drop Rengifo for Kristian Cambell?
Yes
Robots all kinds of messed up
That’s a Rudy thing, I’m sure he’s working on it
Rudy’s a robot?
Holy
Shit
HAHA
Are we starting Sugano @Tor?
Sure
Hey Grey!
Gotta LOSE one:
A. Chapmen
L. Jackson
S. Halvorsen
Thanks in advance!
Seth
Would you grab V Scott and drop Friedl? Strikeouts is a hitting cat in our league so leery of that but the stolen bases look juicy.
Yes
Great – done. H2H league so I use the WW almost daily for pitching starts. Appreciate your yes or no on these potential streamers. Thanks!
1. Rasmussen v Pirates
2. Mize at Mariners
3. Springs v Cubs
4. Soriano v Cleve
5. Megill v Blue Jays
Yes on all
Hi Grey,
We need to describe a situation when the Yanks take out Fields with one out to go, and his fantasy owners loose 10 points.
As much as I would like to, I am leaning to sitting Atlanta’s AJ Smith-Shawnee at SD, would you start him? Am I being too conservative?
enjoy the rest of the weekend! Thanks for working so hard!
Sounds fine to sit him
Thanks so much!!
No problem
Did you see the play to end Cubs and Diamondbacks?
I love the announcers showering praise all over Swanson instead of, “um…wtf was Hampson doing? Seriously. The hell was he doing?” That 3B coach with the shrug.
https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/e02b6e59-9bc0-4a05-ae72-46bcd72c3c57.mp4
I did see, not sure how Hampson didn’t get back
Oneil & Junior both out today for no reason. Routine day off? What is this, the NBA? Are they load managing after 2 games?!
Wells still at 6 even though it’s a RHP. The blows.
Haha
Happy Sunday,Grey? Would you prefer Goodman,Bo Naylor, Bailey or Baldwin?
How about Nootbaar or Bleday?
And Drew Rasmusson,David Peterson or Max Meyer?
Thanks!
Goodman…Noot…Rasmussen
Which one do u prefer tomorrow?
Francis home vs Nats
Singer home vs Tex
Jobe at Sea
Rasmussen home vs Pirates
Rasmussen
Burger or Ward? Standard roto.
Burger
Bags chucked for Rice Bowl.
Hanging fastball. He scorched it.
The other Max Muncie leaps & snares it full extension.
That’s at least a 2 run single. Robbed!
Nice!
No, it’s not nice. I have Rice bowl.
:(
Oh no, ha
As Scooby would say “Rut Roki”
He did not appear to have his best stuff.
Or, uh, any stuff. lol
HA
Dodgers running out Snell again two nights later is wild.
HAHA
You Pfaadt mofo. Gah!
Ugh
And of course I’m facing Tucker. 1st year I haven’t rostered him since he came up. And that’s the thanks I get.
I’ll take the QS !
Same.
Baseball 2025: our pitchers are getting hurt and we don’t know why!
Also baseball 2025: SP goes 6, allows 1 hit, throws 87 pitches and he’s done for the night because it’s the 1st week. (Arrighetti)
Pitcher in the 1940s: throws both ends of a double header, both complete games, pitches until he’s 43, smokes cigs and drinks oil cans between innings.
Hahaha
So true though, wtf. I had the incredible experience of being a bat boy for the Rangers in the late 80’s early 90’s and those guys lived like fraternity guys, ripping cigs, drinking beer and eating fast food (at times in the dugout) and today, these dudes get hurt every time I turn around.
I think it was the cigs & junk food that kept them healthy.
Haha
That’s it, Kristian Campbell, make me and Grey look smart!
LFG!
Arrigheti looking filthy. Torrens looked absolutely overmatched – 3 pitches straight down the pipe, 90.3 mph cutter, 79 mph sweeper, and a wicked 94+ mph 4-seam fastball. All of them looked the same coming out of his hand. I almost felt bad for Torrens there.
Ha, I saw that too
Is Pagan the closer now?
I hope so. But I doubt it
Where do you think this is going?
Back to Diaz in 2 weeks
Yeah, makes sense.
I can’t believe this Jose Ramirez replay. This is a dude who swiped 40? He slid like Scrooge McDuck diving into a pool filled with gold coins. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that before.
Sucks he hurt his wrist, and I don’t mean to add insult to injury, but seriously – wtf was up with that slide?
https://www.mlb.com/amp/news/jose-ramirez-exits-early-against-royals-due-to-injury.html
That’s the ol’ triple lindy
Legend has it that no one ever again attempted it.
Apparently they were wrong.
Hahahaha
Ps – Sam Kinison stole that entire move with just one scene.
HAHA
Holy crap that is rough landing. I thought for aure he must have tripped but it seems he just threw himself at the base. Looks like he hurt his Tim Anderson hand!
Hi Grey
Thanks for as always for your invaluable insight! Your balanced viewpoint is invaluable.
On the wire are the following and their next start:
Meyers vs Pitt
Fitts at Texas Sunday
Kelly at NYY Thursday
Bubic at Milwaukee Monday
Povich vs Boson Monday
Soriano vs Clev (pitched well today) Friday
Would you take any or pass?
to pick up any of the above pitchers. then would have to drop Romano.
Hard to believe that it is day 3!
Thanks again
I wouldn’t drop Romano yet
Thank you!
No problem
Wrist sprain for J-Ram. Eff that.
He’ll be ok (hopefully)
How come Dairon Blanco can come off the bench cold and run 90 feet without dying but Roycle Lewis is on his 5th or 6th respawn attempt? Is he just built different?
(I unabashedly enjoy Blanco. “Hey bro, you are pinch running, go steal a base.” And he does successfully at an 80% clip.)
Right?!
Oneil with 2 more SB. Dude might steal 60 this year.
That would be sweet
CES coming out the gates hot this year.
LFG!
I made two moves today. CES and Garcia to my bench. Both of them homer. Sonofabench!!
Damn
Because I am very smart and also good at fantasy sportsball.
HA!
Add Nootbar or soderstrom? Redraft league. No real needs at the moment.
Edit: never mind I see you answered Nootbar for someone else
Was offered 1B Casas and OF Crews for Trout. 5×5 12-team. Current 1B is Arreaz. Preferred side?
Casas
Treat Urner out with lower back tightness.
Getting old sucks.
Damn
It’s kind of a huge surprise considering he’s been dealing with back problems for two years now.
Lol
Haha
Y. Diaz or A. Wells in a 6×6 (OBP, AVG) roto?
Diaz
Hi Grey,
I was thinking of offering the following in my 10 Tm ,NL-Only, H2H (OBP). Trade Analyzer shows they are both close, but wanted to make sure they are fair, and my team would actually be stronger. I’m guessing you’d try for Acuña first.
A) Naylor, Yelich, and Gallen for Acuña, CES, and Burleson
B) Gallen, R. Lopez, and Swanson for Oneil Cruz, C. Sanchez, and Horwitz
I’d place either Acuña/Horwitz on the IL and drop one of Kershaw/Lowder for a RP.
Current Roster:
CA Ruiz
1B Naylor
2B Garcia Jr.
SS Swanson
3B Vientos
INF Winn
OF Carroll, Chourio, Yelich, Ramos
Util Scott II
B Baty, Lee
SP King, Gallen, Pfaadt, Rey Lopez, Ty. Megill, Smith-Shawver, Roupp, Canning
RP Edw. Diaz, Walker
IL Lowder, Kershaw
A. It’s a lot B. Works for me
I really appreciate it! Acuña’s owner might even want more because he’s only $41 in a $280 cap league. I will try B.
No problem
While I’d love to see Jo Adell succeed, I own zero shares until he is waived and promptly signs with the Rockies for a $1 million one year salary.
Kyren Paris szn it seems.
That’d be nice. I wish I’d drafted him in a DC in round 48 or something like I did last year.
Exactly
Better 2-start option next week – given the SON has them all close:
Rasmussen PIT, @TEX
Rocker @CIN, TB
Mize @SEA, CWS
Faucher or L. Jackson for saves?
And is Manaea a drop for one of the above SPs or hold?
Sure, Rasmussen
Mize…Faucher
If I had the same confidence the Brewers have in being able to throw to Judge, I would be a billionaire. Or dead in a ditch. I am not sure which.
Judge 3-4 3HR 7RBI. 4th inning. Yanks have 12 hits, 8 for HR.
Insert the perfection meme.
My H2H opponent has Belli, Judge and Jazz. That I have Volpe feels somewhat incidental.
One of the ugliest defensive games Ive seen. Yankees have 5 errors, Brewers 1. I dont think this is an error, but man, not really sure this is anything more than inept defense. Frelick just wobbling around lost out there.
https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/26d32bbd-0b4f-42dd-94c2-6d182fc0b3e7.mp4
Can’t believe I went Elly over Judge in every league!
lol, it’s been 3 days. 2.5 days, really.
Breathe.
Ha, seriously
I guess the league has transitioned from “Im going to make the lesser guys beat me and neutralize Judge’s ability to change the game by going outside or walking him”
to
“Oh fiddlesticks. I gave up another HR to Judge but it is okay because he is their best player. No one will be mad at me.”
Ha, 2nd one been going on four years
Bonds would tear his hair out if he had any. “LISTEN WHEN I PLAYED THEY WOULDNT LET ME NEAR THE DAMN BALL. HIT ME OR WALK ME AFTER I TORCHED THEM. WHAT IS THIS SILLY GIGGLEPUSS BASEBALL!?! ID HAVE HIT .450 WITH 100 HR IN THIS LEAGUE NOW!”
Haha, he was getting intentionally walked with the bases loaded!
See those old timers were dumb. Waste 4 pitches on a walk. I can just throw 1 down the pipe at Judge and get results. Gotta watch the pitch count you know.
Haha, true!
Exactly!!!
Elly has the youth on his side! Hopefully they both stay on the field but thats why I also grabbed Elly over Judge.
Hope so!
Luis Garcia already sitting against a lefty for Rosario instead of being moved to the bottom order of the lineup. Managers gonna over-manage. SMDH
Of course
Jesus now Judge with the granny. There’s surely something in the Geneva Convention about this.
Connor Thomas came out the the music from Annie, “anything you can do I can do better”
lolz
He knew Judge couldnt possible do it again so he threw to him.
Right?
12 team 5×5 h2h. drop ryan jeffers for hunter goodman or drake baldwin?
Nah
Pts league that scores +7IP +2K -2H -3BB -12HR start
Start 1 of Fedde vs Min or Meyer vs Pit
If you dont give up a HR the ER doesnt hurt you? A walk is worse than a hit?
That is some tough scoring to wrap your head around. Groundball guys must be overvalued.
So wait, a HR is -14? A hit and a HR? Cortes must be at like -50 in this league.
You are correct, glad I don’t own him!
I never understood the settings, tend to value lower whip arms that can keep it in the ballpark or back up the homers with some Ks
Meyer
Pts league that scores +7IP +2K -2H -3BB -12HR
start 1 of Fedde vs Min or Meyer vs Pit this weekend
Meyer
Wells wit the lefty on lefty hate crime!
Well the game started on back to back to back HR for the Yanks. They needed 3 total pitches for those. Then Wells got involved. 4 HR in 1 IP has to be close to a record?!
Cortes giving up that BP.
I stacked against him in daily.
Still like seeing LHB beat LHP. The nice thing about Wells is that both his backups are also LH. Should get plenty of AB.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see him at DH some of the days he’s not catching.
Yikes
Haha
good morning Grey
I know it will be only 1 star when Arrighetti pitches tonight But if he doesnt look good would you consider dropping for
Springs
Megill
or stash Jared Jones on the IL and then pick up one of the mentioned
also
Would you drop Toglia for
Abreu, Soderstrom or Notbars
I do need HR’s
you can also add Ben Rice to the list
I’d just look at matchups if you’re dropping a guy after one start
i get it what about the batters i mentioned
If you’re dropping a hitter after one game, go with matchups
Dominguez dropped to 8th against LHP. Less than ideal.
Glad to see Wells in the lineup, even though he’s batting 6th. Still a net positive there.
Yeah
Like seeing him BB 2x – showing a little patience. Must be a G&R fan. Fuck i hate that song.
Haha
Gotta some start/sit questions for some hitters today, have to start one 1B, one 1B/3B, one 2B, one 2B/SS, and 2 utility guys out of these hitters, which ones do I go with?:
Casas vs T. Mahle
Toglia vs Littell
McMahon vs Littell
Nico Hoerner vs Pfaadt
Willi Castro vs Eric Fedde
Otto Lopez vs Falter
Joe Adell vs J. Cannon
Schanuel vs J. Cannon
Burleson vs Joe Ryan
Sorry for the long winded question lol, appreciate the help!
We have the Hittertron for this…Casas, Toglia, Nico, Otto, Schanuel, Burleson
My apologies. Will use that going forward, thanks.
No problem
Please rank
Tylor Mcgill, Jack Leiter,Robbie Ray
Nothing’s changed since the preseason
Brieske. Whoa boy.
Whoa boy

Not the greatest quote from Riley about that fly ball double in the 10th inning that he pulled up on. Wasn’t worth a dive he said. He didn’t need to dive. He did the same thing in the playoffs too.
Im not sure if he could have got it or not, but it doesnt look impossible if he went full speed. It certainly looks in the realm of possibilities. Then again, guy runs like a 55 year old man and will probably be a DH by 27.
And as much as people bash Baez, deservedly, Sweeney aint an MLB bat. Hinch thinks he can just plug guys in and it will “work”. Team is going blow up in his face this year.
Yeah, bad look
Hey Grey!
1) What’s the range we’re looking at this season for Cam Smith – 20-25 HR, 4-6 SB with 160 R+RBI?
2) Starting Spaghetti tonight v. NYM?
3) Is Luke Jackson hanging onto that job right now?
Hope so 2 sure 3. For now
How was the game? They even gave you extras!
I left in the 8th lol
Was there no beach ball for you to bat around? Are you not entertained?
Ha
Mookie Best!!!
Poor first outings from King, Gallen, and Lopez, but my $1 Ty Megill gets my first W along with good ratios for H2H NL-Only. Here’s to my other $1 / FA SPs – AS-S, Canning, and Roupp bringing a little magic my team’s way while my #s 1-3 get settled in. I
Yup!
12 team, 5×5 roto
You starting Pfaadt today v. CHC, Imanaga? ($7.4)
Yes
In a 5×5 H2H are you dropping Mountcastle, Jeremy pena, or cowser for soderstorm or Nootbar?
Answered already
So anyway, I was at the bar trying to impress these two girls by telling a story about how I met this baseball player when I was waiting for a pay phone. I go on to say; “I’m standing there, waiting to use the pay phone and this guy who’s on the phone turns around and tips his hat like this.” *tips hat motion* “and who do you think that guy was?” *girls still stone-faced* “EUGENIO SUAREZ!!! And I was all like EUGENIOOOO!… so anyway you guys wanna make out or what?”
HAHA, perfect
You mean that loser the Tigers traded for ALL TIME GREAT ALFREDO SIMON!?! Guy led the Tigers in ERA AND WHIP when we had him. What did Eugenio ever do after that trade? Is he selling car insurance?
*cries in corner*
Hahaha
Shaw looks overmatched against MLB pitching. Batting .061 against RHP. He’s a drop until he figures things out (probably in AAA).
That sucks
Hey Grey, 5×5 league, 1380 IP limit, should I even consider Luzardo today vs WAS or wait and see on him?
I’m starting him
Ty man, love you, in a baseball fantasy commentator way LOL
Pfaadt vs CHI is pushing it right? I though hold off to see if he has made adjustments yet……
Ha, I’m starting him
Damn Grey your balls must be the size of Bdon’s!!! LOL
Good luck to ya my man, love your work!
Haha, thanks!
Torque is red hot. Man.
He is!
Wasn’t expecting legs!
I was wondering if there’s any moves you’d reccomend making for my team, it’s a 10-team h2h catagories league with 3 bench spots)
Here’s my offense:
C: Will Smith
1b:Vlad Guerrero Jr
2b: Jackson Holliday (I was optimistic since he bulked up and then he homered)
3b: Austin Riley
Ss: Elly de La Cruz
Of: Brenton Doyle
Of:Wyatt Langford
Of: James Wood
Utility: Cody Bellinger
IL: Ronald acuna Jr.
Waivers: Jurickson Profar, Gleyber Torres, Nico Hoerner, Nick castellanos, Jung Hoo Lee, Cam Smith, Tyler Oneil, wilyer Abreu, Kristian Campbell,
And Here’s my rotation:
-Framber Valdez
-Jacob Degrom
-Max Fried
-Kevin Gausman
-Taj Bradley
-Bryan Woo
-yusei kikuchi
Bullpen: Pete Fairbanks, Trevor Megill, yennier cano
Available starters:
Gavin Williams, Shane Baz, Bowden Francis, Nick Lodolo, Jesus Luzardo, Clay Holmes, Walker Buehler, Brady Singer, Spencer Arighetti, Justin Verlander, Dustin May, Reese Olson, Tomoyuki Sugano, Casey Mize, griffin Canning, Kumar rocker
Available relievers: Aroldis Chapman, Kirby Yates, Blake trienen, Ben Joyce, Camilo Doval, David Bednar
Why would Grey read through all of this, analyze your team and tell you how to manage it? Do your homework bud.
I’d try Luzardo over Yusei…hitting looks fine
Are you dropping cowser, Mountcastle or Jermey Pena for Nootbar or Soderstorm in 5×5 H2H league? Or is the difference negligible
Pena for Noot
It looks like I should be starting Will Wagner over Curtis Mead and BDon on my DC team at 2B. If he keeps hitting I might have to FAAB him elsewhere.
I know
Oneil Cruz looks a little different at the plate this year. He looks more focused. Locked in. Could be a big year.
Hope so
Sweet strike em out throw em out by Rutschman. Love seeing that.
Haha
I have Vinny P at 1b with Goldshmidt at Utility/backup. Would you drop Goldy for Soderstrom, Tork or Manzardo? Or just hold for now? 10 team 6×6 with OBP
Soder
I need help clearing some room on a 40 man roster dynasty league- you dropping any of the following minor leaguers in order to pick up a closer and first basemen? (Thinking of picking up Luke Raley- right now I have Gavin Sheetd at 1b)
Anyway, I ideally need to drop 2:
Cade Horton (chc-sp)
Jake misiorowski (mil-sp)
Sabastin Ballo
Xavier Isaac
Christian Moore
Jesus Made
Sebastian Walcott
Jett Williams
Justin Crawford
Walker Jenkins
Lazaro Montes
Thanks! (My team sucks so I hold a lot of minor leaguers trying to catch lightning in a bottle)
Lose Sheets…Moore, Misiorowski
Zach NATO or Victor Robles (bench bat)
You trading Grayson Rodriguez for Sandy Alcantara in a dynasty?
Thanks!
Neto….sandy
Holton, Treinen or Holderman 12 TM roto
Holton
First week or so of FBB is always torture.
Seeing dudes you choose over other dudes starting cold while the alternate choice goes ham.
Gotta keep reminding myself that it’s FBB, not FF — one day of stats is meaningless. And with H2H 6×6, even a bad week is basically meaningless.
Marathon, not a sprint. There’s a reason we draft some dudes over other dudes. Sometimes we’re wrong, but the regression fairies are always here to keep shit real.
That said because of the wonky schedule my opponent started Soderstrom, his 26th pick and back of bench dude. Sonofa-
I know, gotta try to remain patient
I find the first 3-4 weeks pretty frustrating. What LD said above about the guys you drafted but you also don’t know who’s actually good and who’s just having a hot streak and will then disappear for the rest of the season.
Ask me about the year I landed Marte as my “Mr. irrelevant” and dropped him before game 1.
Then lost in the LCG to the team that picked him up.
No wait never ask me about that because I’ll start crying again.
I like that there is a Barksdale officiating the O’s game.
Hahaha
Heliot Ramis or Cam Smith?
How close is it (the extra 3B eligibility adds some to the Smith side?)
Smith, it’s close
W. Abreu or Ward?
Ward
Hi Grey,
Would you start Colton Coswer who is on the road at Tor (Gausman)
or
Nimmo on the road at Houston (H. Brown)?
The razz were essentially the same?
Thanks!!
Cowser
Thanks!
No problem
Tork or Burleson?
Burleson
Mullins or PCA?
PCA
Thx
No problem
Who’ve you got, Soderstrom, Hoskins or Pray for Rain?
Actually add CES to that
Soder
Rockies just throwing away runs. That Tovar steal earlier. Pinch running Moniak and letting him steal, a guy who has 15 SB and 8 CS. In the minord he had 54 SB 25 CS. The dude they just paid a million dollars to for that play. Nice.
I know, that Tovar steal really stands out…Why did he run there
I’m back!!
Hope all is will Grey and Razzball family.
Is it true Josh Lowe left the opener today with Oblique tightness? Do you buy it? He has missed months every season since he entered the league with oblique injuries. It makes no sense how a pro baseball player injures his oblique every few months. Wild.
Thanks! Yeah, he’ll be back by August
There wasnt room in the car for him with Cole and Stanton.
Haha
Lol
Goodman or Jeffers?
Jeffers
Early scouting report on Rooker and Togs – get two strikes up and then throw it anywhere.
HAHA, fair
I don’t know how accurate the MLB.com Gameday graphics are (pretty, I assume) but a couple of the strikeout pitches Rooker swung at yesterday could barely be seen lol.
Hahahaha, still early!
I could use help at SP or RP.
Better speculative Add?? Alvarado, C.Schmidt?
Alvarado
The greatest betrayal of our time?
“The Tigers announced that they have acquired outfielder Brewer Hicklen from the Brewers in exchange for cash considerations. He was designated for assignment by Milwaukee yesterday as that club set its Opening Day roster.”
You mean Tiger Hicklen
Merrill moved up to cleanup today, LFG!!
LFG!
Saves only. Would you drop any of ShittheBednar and/or Martin for any of Finnegan, Beau or Treinen?
Finnegan over Martin
Goodman or Wong?
Goodman
Is that rest of season?
Nope
So much for me being cautiously optimistic on Josh Lowe. That optimism lasted 5 innings. $hit, I need the steals.
Haha
It’s always impressive when you check a score and see the Rockies shutting someone out. That was not on my bingo card.
And no more
Goodman, Baldwin, or Bart?
Goodman
One big take away is Pepiot looks ok but… bad results considering its the Rockies. Maybe it’s the stadium but this still feels like a spring training game. I mean it’s the regular season and Kris Bryant is playing. That doesn’t make sense.
Haha, don’t worry Josh Lowe’s no longer playing and give Bryant until the 9th
I am debating which line-up is worse.
All Rays pitchers may need to throw no hitters to get a win
TB. If you took out Bryant/Farmer/and Martini and got something semi competent, Rockies would be middle of pack maybe teasing upper 1/3. Rays….idk what the lineup is. I really dont. Guys who cant hit. Guys who are fast but cant field. Just a mess of a lineup.
But what match-ups!!
Rockies, but barely
Neither team has many guys who would see regular time on top 1/3 lineups even factoring Rockies at home stats.
Uh-oh. Here comes the Rays
Haha
I think Bud Black was texting Blackmon earlier to see if he’s in town.
He’d hit him leadoff if he could
And, sadly, it would improve them. How did Veen not make this team? Must have been his hair.
I know
Josh Lowe. Big surprise
shocking
Hi Grey: New member and ardent follower. 12 team Mixed Roto League with QS and OBP. Savaged by injuries to McClanahan and Jared Jones both on my bench now. We have 8 bench spots and start 22 players each week. Just pulled off a trade for Webb, parting with Willson Contreras. Thoughts on this trade? My current staff consists of Logan Webb, Michael King, Joe Ryan, Reese Olson, Tanner Houck, Tylor Megill, Jose Soriano and Eduardo Rodriguez. Do you think this can get me by until my IL guys return? Regardless, I’ll need to drop one of the above to pick up a bench bat. Who would you drop?
Thanks! I like Webb, like that trade…Ed-Rod is droppable
Amaya, Goodman or Garver over Heim or P. Bailey?
Apologies in advance for the C question but it is a 2C league (hate those).
Goodman
Thanks Grey. So Goodman over Heim or Bailey? Need 2
Over Heim
Thank you
No problem
Add Kyle Freeland to the Buy list. He looks like vintage Steve Carlton. Oh, wait it’s the Rays. Never mind.
Ha
think you jinxed him
Faced 20 batters, 17 AB started with a strike. Most of them looking it feels like. Dude just getting the calls on corners and Rays seem dumbfounded you can do that. Nice K at end there.
gonna shock you, but Josh Lowe is hurt
He is my least favorite Lowe so I am not surprised. Rob Lowe, Brandon Lowe, Chad Lowe, Nathanial Lowe, Josh Lowe.
Lowe’s, the outdoor furniture store
Wallner over Garrett Mitchell?
Hurray Buy/Sell is just hungover!!!
Happy first weekend, Razzballers!!!!!!
No
Yay!
Dr torkamata and his grand inquisition or (Torkelson) or Maikel Garcia
Is that an MF Doom album?
lol
Torkelson or maikel
Dr torkamata is a line from meet the parents
Oh, Dr. Torkamata has nipples, can you milk him?
Cam Smith or Soderstrom? Is it close?
Smith, it’s close
That Marlins line up would look a lot better with some Augustin Ramirez sprinkled in
I love me some Bride hitting three, across the threshold on that, til death do us
Jorge Mateo and Ramon Urias are playing for the playoff-aspiring Orioles while uber-talented prospects are stuck in the minors. Make it make sense for me, please.
HAHA, I know
You dont know anything! Ortiz, Stowers, Norby, DL Hall those guys arent MLB talent. That is why they are still in the minors……Oh.
Good thing they dont have like 5 OF types that could be ready to contribute in a year or two. Should be plenty of roster space with Cowser and ONei…..oh.
A Kjera what? Oh, well pretty standard to let your prospects to reach age 26-27 before giving them a real chance. The Rockies set the standard on that one.
Well Mayo and Basallo (in the future) being blocked by Mountcastle and O’Hearn is perfectly reasonable.
Agree with a lot but that’s no fun to just be like “word peace out Albright.”
so i will point out Pressly’s k/9 rate has gone down 3 years running. The bb rate was up a full walk per 9 from 2021. Fastball velo was down below 94 for the first time in his career. had an 8.5 hr/fb rate which was his lowest since 2013, which looks lucky given diminishing skill set at age 36.
also i have a couple porter hodge shares that are in no way clouding my judgement if that’s what you’re thinking…
Oh, a hater amongst us! That’s fair, I do think Pressly’s the closer until traded in July…He’d have to be really bad for them to pay him to be a setup to Hodge
a disagreer…hater is such a stirong word. i mean pressly has mostly been an 8th inning guy so that does give them an out if they reshuffle. has not looked suuuuuuuuuuuper.
Ha, yeah, I just think economically they keep him in the 9th until July, but maybe he sucks
“immma be real, imma hater. i be hatin on shit. it feel good, it make my bones feel good and it exercise my vocals. i don’t spend too much time hatin, just like a hour a day. i only sleep 4 hrs so it’s plenty of time left to hate”
—Oaktown Steve
Haha
Grey! Its great to have Buy Sell back in action. One more name for the next week+, Joc Pederson, the Rangers face 8 RHP starters in a row starting tonight.
Love it!
Chapman over Estavez 10 team k/9
Sure
What side would you take?
Steele and Pete Crow for Schwellenback
Spencer, but it’s fair
so many BDons
Are you my pod cohost?
How do you feel about Bo Bichette?
Matt McLain?
Be honest
I have someone offering me A. Garcia for Soler (some deep prospects and a pick going each way). I have never owned Garcia and enjoyed the cries of pain and anguish each day from the owner in my league.
From “he going to go for 40/20 this year! WHAT A STEAL! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH YOU GUYS LET ME HAVE THIS DUDE?! I SAID ID TAKE A SP AND A 3B FOR HIM! NO ONE PONIED UPPPPP! .300 IN APRIL! MVP! MVP!
to
“WTF? WTF IS WRONG WITH HIM! GUY IS JUST HACKING AT THE BALL!!! BEEN 3 MONTHS NOW AND HE CANT HIT ABOVE .200?!?! WTF NO I WONT TAKE YOUR OFFER! RIDE OR DIE WITH MY BOY!”
*narrator voice* He in fact, did not ride. He died.
I dont have a strong opinion on either. Soler, like you mentioned, super cheap power which is what I paid for him. Garcia, Ive never really paid much attention too, I get HR/SB combo but terrified of that hit tool. Last year the agony definitely hurts my attempts at being unbiased.
6X6 Dynasty 18 teamer
Have fun at the game! I hope you take a stuffed Decoy!
Haha, I hope those hot dogs are not stuffed Decoys…Adolis prolly a bit higher than Soler in drafts and my rankings, meh, not super high on him tho
DECOY DOGS! GET YOUR DECOY DOGS! YOU CAN BET….ON THEM TO BE MADE OF SOMETHING OTHER THAN DOG!
Appreciate it. I viewed it as meh meh, both close in age. Bench bat type deal or days off filler.
Already cut Doyle, Toglia, and Mead today. I need guys to perform not who bat .000. Bums.
Beck!
Added him! Then cut him for Cy Young 2025 winner Freeland!
On a serious note…..man….TB bats worse than I thought so far. 30 pitches in 3 IP for Freeland.
I dont like the steal attempt at 3rd by Tovar. 1 out. 2 on. Not a fan to lose an out there. Felt like a chance to break the game open.
I’m not sure one hitter on either said has taken a pitch
Toglia just took one! That is why I cut you 20 mins ago! Cant even use a bat to get a hit!
Haha
Burleson was just dropped, do you like him a whole lot better than my Friedl and Raley for a bench bat or are they close, thank you.
Yes, over Friedl, they are close tho
Start one Sunday points?
Bassit vs BAL
Meyer v. PIT
Wacha v CLE
Meh, I guess Wacha
Hi Grey,
I have Max Fried. Would you try and trade him? Would you try and get Aaron Nola? Are there other pitchers to try and get? Or just hold?
Thanks as always!!
I don’t like Nola either
Who are some pitchers that you would trade Fried for ( and you like)?
Thanks so much!!
Michael King?
Thanks!!
No problem
Closers in an NL Only League – Saves only..
Wow, this is tough. Our keeper league only has a few options not protected going into the auction.. so I will probably have to pay the price for one of the big dogs.. but I like to grab someone who could turn into a closer, too.. how would you rank Orion, Hodge. I know Alvarado and Strahm are also there in Philly.. but were protected. Thanks!
That rank
Good afternoon Oh Great One,
Can you pull an Atlantic and retreat on your story about Cam? I don’t have a good waiver number. F’n Yahoo finally added him and Campbell, Basturd’s!!! Anywho, thank you for a great going into the weekend article.
A) Why didn’t you tell me Dominguez couldn’t play Defense:)???
B) Why doesn’t Fantasy Baseball strike a deal with MLB and not have opening day games followed by a day off? It really sucks for the ADHD:).,
C) There is no C
Hope you have a good weekend, thank you for your greatness, FML!!! Oh, sorry for not keeping it rated G for the guys and 5 girls.
CCC
Haha, sorry! A. I thought it was well known b. I know, ridiculous thanks! You too!
Soderstrom or Steer? Also, I see Jhony Pereda is the Athletic backup Catcher (if he is carried , it seems unlikely Sod will get many catcher opportunities).
Soder
How would you rank these relievers in 5×5 save-only (no holds) in terms of ability + chances of getting some saves? Or at least which 2-3 would you target first?
Griffin Jax
Justin Slaton
Blake Treinen
Tyler Holton
Beau Brieske
Orion Kerkering
Matt Strahm
Currently have Jax and Brieske but considering mixing them up or trying to add one into an empty spot courtesy of Connorby heading to IL. Thanks so much!
Holton, Kerkering
Does Robert Garcia have any chance at taking the closer job in Texas? Or drop him and pick up a guy like Treinen or another player?
Thanks
He does!
Gleyber or Gimenez?
Andres
Nothing screams the start of fantasy baseball season quite like the first “Buy/Sell” article!
Roast my roster. Also, should I drop any of the bottom end batters/pitchers for Bubba Chandler? 10 team 5×5
C – L. O’Hoppe
1B/3B – J. Burger
2B – N. Hoerner
3B/OF – J. Chisolm
SS – G. Henderson
OF – J. Rodriguez
OF – B. Rooker
OF – H. Ramos
1B/OF – A. Burleson
2B/3B – L. Rengifo
SS – M. Winn
OF – R. Acuna
1B/OF – M. Toglia
SP – D. Cease, T. Glasnow, P. Lopez, J. Steele, B. Ober, S. Arrighetti, B. Francis
RP – J. Hoffman, T. Megill, D. Bednar
Hecks yeah! Team looks very solid on hitting, a beautiful mix of speed and power, really like it a lot…Your pitching is veery sexy too, I love this team!
