Hi Mike,
Ouch, I made a mistake on the Brave starting time and therefore didn’t start AJSS as I had planned.
Unbelievable!! Of course, he pitched six innings and and the Braves are up 4-1.
My wife is reminding me that it is only a game and fantasy BB is supposed to be fun.
My regular LF is Ozuma with Kerry Carpenter, Yelich and Kyle Stowers on the bench. It seems like Yelich is the odd man out.
Would you offer Yelich for Ryan Weathers or Bubba Chandler or hold?
I always appreciate your responses and am grateful for all your help!
Martin
You can probably wait another week or two before offering Yelich up for Chandler, but that’s the route I’d go. Weathers is too risky to move a solid bat like Yelich for because of his forearm issues that sidelined him until this week.
Great clear insight!!! Thanks Mike!
Your response made me think!
1. What would you think of offering Yelich plus AJ-Smith-Shawver for Hunter Brown or Yelich plus AJSS for Jesus Luzardo. AJ had a great day!
2. just offer Yelich for a pitcher. Thoughts
Thanks!!!!
