Hey, Timmy, thanks for coming to see me in this old age home. Did you bring me the stewed carrots I asked for? Oh, great. What a pal. Let me take my teeth out so I can slurp on the soft carrots. I can’t believe how old I feel now. What’s that? Speak up! How old am I?! Same age I was five days ago, but it’s not how old I am. It’s how old I feel. Oh, yeah, I was spry duck just last week, but the first week of April’s starting pitching has aged me forty years in five days. I started the week remembering to go pee-pee and poo-poo in the toilet, and now I’m wearing diapers! Stupid starting pitching! Welp, we have one good starter this year, his name is Alek Manoah (6 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 4 walks, 7 Ks). Was watching Manoah last night and to say he looked good is somehow an understatement and an overstatement. He was unhittable, while also being nowhere near the plate for huge chunks of the game. It was not the best I had seen him — that was when he was interviewed with his mother and I was able to block him out of the shot with my hand. But for one magical night in April, we actually got a decent pitching line, so, ya know what? Alek Manoah looked as awesome as his mom, Aleka Momoah! Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Danny Jansen – Hit the IL with an oblique. Damn, I jinxed this ess oh bee real good. I had to say I was glad I drafted him, didn’t I? Stupid big mouth on me jinxing guys like a big dummy. Hopefully, he has one of those oblique injuries that only needs ten days. Did anyone believe that was possible? No? Okay.
George Springer – 3-for-5, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer. Between him, Buxton and Arenado, my schmohawks aren’t looking so good to start the year, which is to say they are looking good. Yeah, guys who get tired and injured do tend to stay healthy for one week. Check back in July.
Jameson Taillon – 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 6 Ks. That he went five innings makes it feel like he should be a top five vote-getter for Cy Young.
Ryan Yarbrough – Hit the IL with groin tightness. TMI!
Tommy Romero – Being called up to start vs. the A’s. So, aside from a streamer, Tommy Romero is who? Or are you Rommy Tomero?! Answer me! Okay, he looks like an Opener, maybe can throw four-plus innings. 94 MPH fastball; low-80’s slider, a meh curve and okay change. He reminds me of Matt Andriese. Guess we’ll see, but I’m not adding him anywhere yet.
Luis Patino – Left after 13 pitches with a strained oblique. If the Patino injury knocks him out for a few weeks, having an inning that lasts a week is just smart, Rays baseball, which is why they gave up so many runs in the 2nd inning.
Chad Pinder – 2-for-5, 2 runs and his 2nd homer. Pinder? Only thing he’s catching is charges! Also, this was a sonavabench for yours truly. I have Pinder in deep leagues because at-bats are at-bats are at-bats, but I decided to play Oscar Mercado over Pinder. Worked out okay in the end, but *shrugs* “why not both” GIF.
Seth Brown – 1-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer. For the 2022 World Series, A’s vs. the Pirates. Who says no?
Elvis Andrus – 3-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 1st homer, and a triple short of the cycle. What if the sequel to Moneyball is actually a sequel to Major League? *brain explodes*
Paul Blackburn – 5 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 7 Ks. A’s jumped out to a huge lead, and Blackburn was off to the Ivictory Coast with his teammates to dine and dash at the W.
Taylor Hearn – 4 IP, 1 ER. Was so close to streaming Hearn for the 2-start week, but do I look like I have multiple screws loose? Streamontor doesn’t like him either.
Austin Gomber – 4 2/3 IP, 3 ER. Kind of guy who you don’t want any part of in mixed leagues, and actually enjoy rostering in NL-Only leagues.
Jose Iglesias – 4-for-5, 1 run, 1 RBI. How long until Bud Black realizes Iglesias should be hitting 1st or 2nd? August?
C.J. Cron – 2-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer. Curtis Jackson gonna hit fiddy. He also hit that off Joe Barlow, which massively sucks for me. *Lisa Simpson grumble*
Connor Joe – 2-for-5 and his 2nd homer. Connor Joe…C.J. Con…Hey, wait a minute! Is that what the C.J. stands for?
Daniel Bard – 1 IP, 1 ER and the blown save. Surprise, surprise, the Bard shit the MacBed.
Dylan Bundy – 5 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 1 walk, 2 Ks. Of course, he’s one of the only good pitching performances. Bundy always counts to five.
Huascar Ynoa – 3 IP, 5 ER. Remind to bench all my starters in April (and September).
Maikel Franco – 4-for-5, 5 RBIs and his 1st homer. Donkey Teeth doesn’t seem half as silly now for quitting his day job to manage the Maikel Franco Fan Club that he started.
Anibal Sanchez – Hit the IL with a cervical neck impingement. Geez, I’ve flown so many times and I’ve never got a mint on my cervical neck pillow.
Matt Manning – 6 IP, 1 ER, 1 hit, 0 walks, 2 Ks. Ya know how you get through six innings in baseball now? Do it in under 70 pitches. There’s gonna be under ten Quality Starts this year.
J.D. Martinez – 1-for-4 and his 1st homer. Just Dong because the alternative is unthinkable.
Matt Barnes – 1 IP, 0 ER. Glad to see Barnes throwing in a game. Dot dot dot. In the 6th inning. I’m going to become The Joker.
Javier Baez – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. Good news is Javier Baez homered. Bad news is it reminded me to think, “What is going on with Spencer Torkelson?”
Ranger Suarez – 2 2/3 IP, 3 ER. There are no good pitchers right now. You can drop pitchers who should be good for other guys who should be good, but you’re moving deck chairs on the Titanic and, instead, I’d try to hold.
Alec Bohm – 1-for-1, 1 run, and, at one point, committed three errors on seven chances in three innings. Frustrated, as he left the field, he said of Philly, “I f***ing hate this place.” Dude, no one likes Philly.
Taijuan Walker – Left the game with shoulder irritation. Sometimes in the shower I’ll say, “Hey, look, I have shoulder irrigation.” Just me? Hmm, okay. Well, congrats on David Peterson’s new rotation spot, hopefully he lasts longer than five days, otherwise the Mets will be asking Ron Darling to throw a few innings by June.
Oscar Mercado – 1-for-5, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer. Hot schmotato? Yes, definitely. Batty call? Yes, I made him one of those too. Possible that he’s breaking out? Absolutely. Someone who we liked in previous seasons that disappointed is going to break out this year with everything clicking. Why not Mercado?
Aaron Civale – 3 1/3 IP, 3 ER, Every year I want to bench all my pitchers for the first two weeks, and I never remember to do it.
Steven Kwan – 1-for-3, 2 runs, 3 RBIs, two walks, with a bases-clearing triple, hitting .692.
Steven Kwan pic.twitter.com/qQ1Lj9uPfw
— Razzball (@Razzball) April 11, 2022
Andrew Benintendi – 3-for-3, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 1st homer, hitting .538. Who does this guy think he is, Steven Kwan?
Adrian Houser – 3 2/3 IP, 2 ER. More like Adrain. Got him!
Bruce Zimmermann – 4 IP, 0 ER, and he was followed by Baumann. Well done, menn! Streamonator hates Zimmermann and I say amenn.
Jorge Lopez – 1 IP, 0 ER, and his 1st save. Over/under for Lopez saves: 12. Prolly taking the under, but if you need them, then you only Jorge Lopez once — JoLo!
Jorge Mateo – 1-for-3, 1 run and his 2nd steal. Have a list of about ten guys who I’m monocle’ing so hard that my eyes are going crossed like I’m wearing Opti-Grab glasses. Mateo is one of them.
Zac Gallen – Scratched with a cut on his thumb. Should’ve prolly scratched with his index finger. Live and learn!
Alex Wood – 4 1/3 IP, 2 ER. Even Wood’s hitting the pine early.
Austin Nola – 1-for-5 and his 1st homer. Beating his brother in power! (For now.)
Nick Martinez – 5 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 6 Ks. Considering no one’s looked good, Nick Martinez looked fantastic. FantasNick, if you will. You won’t? Fair enough. Streamonator hates his next start, and I can’t say I’m all-in, but I am monocle’ing.
Elieser Hernandez – 4 2/3 IP, 4 ER. Things are going great for my pitching staffs, why do you ask? *standing on ledge of tall building*
Jesus Sanchez – 2-for-4 and his 1st and 2nd homer. Preseason sleeper? Yes and you’re welcome. But beyond that, I was looking at the Hittertron yesterday for a batty call, and you know what name was near the top of the list for underowned guys? Hey, Zeus, indeed.
Michael Lorenzen – 6 IP, 1 ER, 2 baserunners, 7 Ks. Only Alek Manoah and pitchers under 5% ownership are good. It’s 2022, y’all!
Mike Trout – Scratched from yesterday’s game. Mike Trout already in midseason form.
Jo Adell – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. Do you mean to tell me an 0-for-9 start to the season didn’t mean he wouldn’t be good all season? Shocking information.
Brandon Marsh – 2-for-3, 4 RBIs and his 1st homer. All my sleepers are awake! Now, to clear room, we just need Mike Trout to miss another five months with a mysterious ailment that no one understands. Sure, like that would happen.
Like I said on your Schmohawk post, I’ll take Springer all day long and twice on Sunday. You’re still wrong. And this is only the beginning.
Gotcha
Would you rateher own Marsh over Adell?
Yuuuuuuuuuuuu
Painful
As my kid likes to say, Yu Garbage
Pickup MacKenzie Gore and drop Ober in a 12 team keeper league? Seems like Gore might start Friday? Thanks!
Sure
Or pick up Detmers over Gore?
Sure
RIP Gilbert :(
Tough year for comedians. This one stung bad. #RIP
Another all time great gone to soon.
Yeah, super sad
Yeah, sucks
Shoot, didn’t think to check if the Cards were facing a LHP to add Pujols.
Damn
Luzardo, I Anderson, Thor an accurate rank order?
Sounds fine
In a weekly OBP league, who’s the drop out of Adell, Stott, and Abrams?
Abrams
Would you be so kind as to rank Cal Quantril, Kyle Wright, Lodolo, Ober, Detmers, Matz, Cortes – or is this the correct order. Who should be on my 12-tm roster? Or SON?
Quantrill, Detmers, Wright, Lodolo
Loving your work, Lou Bob.
The best!
Ridin’ my Suzuki
HELL YEAH
Kelenic with 4 K’s. Come on dude. I know it’s early but after last year’s dreadful start you wonder how long of a leash he has. I wonder if i should add Kyle lewis just in case.
Kind of like handcuffing your running back in fantasy football.
Meh, there’s gotta be other guys
What was Farmer thinking? Did he think there were two outs?
Brutal
Grey,
Start or sit Darbish vs. SF? Thanks as always for your advice.
Start
Thanks buddy
No problem
No SAGNOF with Tyler Stephenson behind the plate!
Indeed!
manaea’s start pretty sure best in league yet.
Yeah
Who has better long term value in Gilbert or Ranger?
Gilbert
Hey Grey! I inherited Bieber in a dynasty orphaned team I took over a year ago. I saw on your twitter feed he continues to be down on velocity. Time to see what I can get for him in a trade?
Might want to, yeah
Sir Grey Meister,
Thank you, your daily plethora of sage advice goes over many heads:).
A) Could you use your mojo powers on the other OF, Trout will be fine then?
B) Is Kwan better than Straw?
C) Grey’s power changing history: “You’re leading us to our deaths, Moses!” He looks ahead, “there is no C!” and …
D) Gonsolin or Montgomery or Megill over Gallen? Any reason to add Strasburg to the DL?
Okay, senor, Have a great Duesday, In laws are going to be here for the rest of the week, could you please write three or four articles per day?
Thank you,
CCC
Haha
A. Sure!
B. Nah
C. HAHA
D. No and yes
Haha, will do!
Hey Grey would you drop Castillo for Diekman
I can use saves. Is it a push?
Thanks
Sure
Espinal starting again for TOR over Biggio. Drop Andres Gimenez for him in AL only? Dont need the speed as much as consistent hitting
No
So are you using cobb today in a roto league or should all SP be benched until further notice?
Sure
Sure as in start him
1. Like Miller or Stott for UTIL in 14T obp?
2. McMahon or J Turner in 10T 5×5 at 3B until Witt gets Yahoo elig?
3. Fav SS in 10T 5×5 Andrus, Mateo or Abrams? (Waiting on Cruz callup)
Thanks
1. Is B Miller
1. Stott
2. Turner
3. Mateo
Why are people dropping Clase after two outings to start the year? Velo is still 99.9.
Major overreaction. Especially considering the draft capital most spent on a “top closer”.
I don’t think anyone is
Seeing it in some Yahoo leagues.
Not good moves
Who would you take in a S+H league – Clase or Duran. Furan’s stuff looks awesome.
Clase
Hey Grey, which 4 guys do you want for bench guys in a shallow league? Basically looking to speculate, not too concerned about particular categories/positions, but probably want at least one MI from the first group.
Ketel Marte
Jeff McNeil
Gavin Lux
Jonathan Villar
Gurriel Jr.
Julio Rodriguez
Dylan Carlson
Steven Kwan
Heliot Ramos
Carlson, Ketel, Lourdes, Jul-Rod
Would you drop Robbie Grossman for Connor Joe or McCutchen
I was hoping for 20/20 from Grossman
But getting nothing
Joe
Drop Eddie Rosario for Profar?
Nah
Spec add for bench spot Bohm or Heloit Ramos?
Heliot
Ji-Man’s batting 3rd for the Rays today. Are you monocle’ing?
Not unless he’s hitting… Cash will prolly hit him 9th tomorrow
I hope you don’t mind if I vent. It’s not even a week in and I am already so frustrated. Maddon is already doing Maddon things and benching Adell for some Rojas guy (not Mel). The amazing part is that Adell was originally on the bench yesterday until Trout came down with the upset tum tum. Now Taylor Ward will be back this weekend so either Adell is headed back to the minors or Adell, Marsh, Ward and Rojas are all going to platoon. UGH!
Then Andrew Vaughn is on the bench yet again today because obviously Gavin Sheets just HAS to play despite the fact that Vaughn is the White Sox hottest hitter. And you know that fans paid good money to see Gavin “F-ing” Sheets play when they bought tickets for the home opener.
La Russa needs to get that Sheets out of here
So frustrated that I actually forgot to ask my question…LOL
I know you were not a fan of drafting him because of how high he was getting picked but would you pick up Ian Anderson as a free agent?
Please rank Anderson, Montgomery and Sandoval?
Thank you.
You ranked them
Need saves in my league – available options are Tanner Rainey, David Robertson, Jorge Lopez, Daniel Bard, Jake Diekman, Jhoan Duran, Jorge Alcala. Please give me your top 3. Thanks much!
Diekman, Robertson, Bard
Thanks
No problem
Would Crawford be an worthy upgrade over Wong or Schoop, thank you
Would Kike be? Looking at possible trades with two different owners
Crawford who
Brandon
Meh
Meh on Kiki too?
Hernandez over Wong
How about Escobar, much difference there, thanks for all of these!
Alcides? No
Eduardo, thanks!
Last one, or Cronenworth, thanks again
Jake at top
Can never get enough of the BUNDY FIVE COUNT reference!!!! All time Heal move. Not overreacting or nuthin’, butt, yawnstipating first start out of our boy Elieser. In a limited moves league, shoot for the upside and replace him with Lodolo in Cinci, even with a potential demotion when the vets get healthy? Thank you. RIP KKB!
Haha, yeah, I’d go with Lodolo
Thanks. (& chuckle worthy Hebrew headline from Rudy!)
Actually, Lucky Dog the commenter helped with the title in yesterday’s comments, then I finished it off
Grey! 10 Team 5×5 Category Keeper League.
Currently have W. Merrifield as my only 2B. Would you drop B. Dalbec (bench 1B/3B) for any of J. Profar, C. Hernandez, J. Mateo, J. Iglesias or R. Cano?
Thanks in advance
Nah
My 2nd question of the day, sorry. J Sanchez or Grichuk? Tough call. 10 team redraft, points league.
Jesus
Hi Grey – try jorge mateo over kolten wong?
Meh, I’d try to hold for now
I listened to your pod about grichuk. Besides hitting lower than we all thought, he was on the bench the other day. You still expect him to play just about everyday, right? They traded for him and he’s making $10m a year. But, this is the same team that paid Stl $50m as part of the Arenado trade. Thanks
I think he’ll play 90% of the time
Hey Grey, another team for your review. 12 team standard 5×5.
C- Kirk (256)
1B- Alonso (40)
2B- Polanco (81)
3B- Franco (33)
SS- Pena (177)
OF- Trout (16)
OF- Rodriguez (88)
OF- Straw (153)
Util- Ohtani (9)
Util- Abreu (64)
Bn- Cruz
SP- Wheeler (57) Bassitt (105) Manaea (112) Lopez (136) Anderson (184) DeScafani (201) Green (208) Lodolo Carrasco Gore
RP- Rogers (129) Melancon (160)
League doesn’t start until next week. Really wanted Acuna but missed on him in the second. Should have gone with him over Ohtani in the first, but he’s fallen to the mid to late 2nd in every league I’ve drafted so far so I was counting on that again.
Looks like you’re solid on hitting, maybe a little low on power…I like it in general tho…Your pitching looks solid, it’s a stacked team in general
Thanks Grey. Your rankings make it easy to load up on good players vs ADP and the yahoo rankings.
Ha, nice!
Hey Grey –
In one of my leagues (6×6, OBP, QS), one of my opponents has Jose Ramirez and doesn’t like him and is looking to get rid of him. He needs pitching. My staff is:
Scherzer
Ray
Trevor Rogers
Manoah
Sandoval
Syndegaard
Kopech
Brash
Lodolo
Which of these should I try to hold onto? I want to be fair, so which of these should I move/offer? What’s an appealing bundle? he’s a Rockies fan, do I’d probably send him McMahon to replace Ramirez plus some pitching? I know it’s a little vague, but any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jeff
Scherzer? Ray?
Has there been anything in the news on why Urias’ velo has been down more than 2 mph from spring to his first start? Injury, mechanics?
It was in Coors during his 1st start, let’s see his next game
Are people bashing with Matt Brash today or banishing him to the bench??
I’m bashing
I’m bashing, but I’m a wreck! It was him or Greene this week for me.
Let’s bash!
Torkelson gets a hit. I must have benched him.
HAHA
FYI Jhoan Duran got the 9th with a 4run lead last night for MIN and looked the part. Comfortably throwing 101mph. Grabbed him in my shallowest league today.
I’m killing the super small sample ww in week 1 with a $4 Duran, $2 J.Mateo and $1 N.Martinez and B.Marsh
Question: Connor Joe and Triston Mckenzie should be rostered in 12 teams, correct? Or nah?
RCL trade: I sent M.Muncy and got S.Alcantara. I desperately needed an sp1-2 and my offense is still really really good without Muncy. I was in 1st as of yesterday and then Ynoa and Eleiser did their things. I know sandy was a sell friday but wanted your opinion anyway.
Appreciated.
Yeah, Duran looks great — Triston doesn’t need to be rostered
I would’ve taken Sandy there too
grey, would you take startling marte and brandon belt giving up tommy edmund and mountcastle?
i was offered marte, belt, gleybor torres & wong definitely don’t want/have room for wong or torres would have to drop them right away, and belt is meh
im good in OF & 1B already have robert, yordon, Toescar, Jiminez abreu at first. i’m thinking Marte may be easier to trade for something else bigger name player
Sure
thanks i figure it won’t make much difference either way
No problem
In a small 6-team 5×5 roto league. We use QS instead of W. Would you take this deal I was offered? I have concerns about Story and him sitting 6th in the order as well as his batting average.
1. I get Story/Freeman
2. I give Musgrove/Jorge Polanco
I already have two 1B in Olson and Goldy and my two 2B options are Albies and Polanco.
My SP are Monoah, Musgrove, Cease, Ray, Gausman, Webb, Peralta.
Freeman side
Ok…you don’t have any concerns about Story (batting average and hitting 6th)?
Thanks for the input as usual.
Nope
I’d take that offer in an instant, providing I had a spot to play Freeman.
Hey Grey,
Connor Joe, Jesus Sanchez, or 0-18 Enrique?
Jesus
Hi, Grey! In a deep league (k/9 and QS), what order would you prefer to have Nick Martinez, Gore and Keller? Thanks!
That order
Mateo over Abrams?
Sure
Drop biggio for C. Joe as a bench bat in 16-team OPS?
Jays fan here. I would: looks like espinal is taking over the stronger side of the platoon at second.
Yes
Mateo also on the waiver. I realize Joe has more OPS upside, while Mateo’s got the speed (he’d be back up to Muncy, Mondesi, and Starling). Joe or Mateo?
Do you need speed? Then go Mateo
Quick trade question
Nolan Arenado for Taylor Rogers
Arenado
Any idea why Minnesota is skipping Joe Ryan’s start? He went opening day and isn’t schedule (through at least Sunday). I know they are planning a 6-man rotation and they have had some days off — but even these aren’t enough to justify this extended rest.
Prolly bc it’s early and they’re trying to get him to Sept
I have Wong and Schoop, limited moves league, is JPena Segura or Mateo a significant upgrade for a daily player not bench guy, thank you!
Nah
Pick up Megill for tomorrow? I can get rid of Elisier.
Sure
Sorry, meant to say Merrill Kelly
Happy National Big Wind Day, Grey!
Not gonna lie, this scares me a bit to start any pitchers today!
Speaking of; are you trusting Luzardo @LAA anywhere?
Also, Is Cristian Javier worth holding in 12-team leagues?
Grabbed with the hope he’d see the rotation, but as far as I can tell, he’s just doing middle relief
Thanks in advance!
Yikes!
I’d start Luzardo…no on Javier for now
Grey,
In my 10 team H2H league, Jack Flaherty is available and I have 3 open IL spots. Do you think he would be worth a stash? I read that he was cleared to start throwing form 90ft. Apparently they’re going to see how things go in a week or two before they discus any possible rehab assignments. Thanks in advance!
Sure
howdy Grey!
12 man H2H Keeper 5×5 OBP.
I need help at first base as I only have wisdom.
Here
s my batters: g.Sanchez, wisdom, albies, mondesi, adames, straw, Jimenez, Kwan, Jazz, Ke
bryan Hayes,Renfroe, J Lowe, Story, Acuna(IL), Tatis (IL).I`m thinking of offering Trevor story for matt olsen.
Which side do you like for my team?
Thanks Pal!!
I don
t know what
s up with my fonts again lol.Ha
Olson works for me
Me after I see other sites’ write ups
HAHA
Tony Larussa putting one of his hottest/one of his best hitters in a short side platoon. Someone should alert Illinois highway patrol because he’s clearly back on the sauce. If I were Vaughn I’d change my walk up song to out of touch by hall and oates.
HAHA
He did this same bs last year, I was hoping for better this year.
hopefully it changes, knowing him it won’t until Vaughn is 32.
upon further thought…maybe Vaughn did play Out of Touch for Tony, but Tony fixated on the line “smokin gun, hot to the touch, would cool down if we didn’t use em so much”…collateral damage for Vaughn, big mistake homie.
Haha, exactly
Verlander, Perlata, Desclafani, Rasmussen, Eovaldi, Manaea, Urquidy, Jose suarez are my SP.
was offered my urquidy for his straw. Thoughts?
Works for me
a. Ozuna or Kelenic?
b. Drop either (or both) Ozuna/ Kelenic for Jeremy Pena? (Note. If close, Pena provides more flexibility)
A. Kelenic
B. Sure, if you need flexibility
Thanks Grey for answering all of our hinky questions on the daily!! You’re doin the lards work..Lard Greyjoy …of the iron-y? islands?? (sorry, ball-n-chain has us re-watching GOT for the millionth time!)
Haha, thanks
Lodolo or hunter Greene in h2h redraft?
Lodolo
Last question, Greene or luzardo?
Greene
Manning over Kluber
Manning
Or Jesus Sanchez over both manning and kluber
Jesus, yes
Should Swanson owners be concerned yet that he’s hitting bottom 3rd of the order? Was thinking of maybe selling while I can just in case he hits rock bottom.
Concerned, sure, not panicked
Frickin’ LaRussa sits Vaughn again today. Tough for Vaughn to hit 30 homers from the White Sox bench, Tony you old fart.
Yeah, terrible managerial move
He’s pretty much been their best hitter so far. .400/.455/1.000/1.455 with 2 HRs and 6 RBIs in 10 at bats.
Gotta get Sheets into the lineup
Would you drop Ynoa for Kyle Wright or Lorenzen?
I’d try Wright
Please rank the following: Jesus, Happ, JPena, Kwan
thank you!
Jesus, Happ, Kwan
Are you rolling out Lodolo vs. Cleveland with confidence tomorrow?
Nope, but I am
Haha, alright. Loyolo!
LFG!
Hi Grey –
Saves+Holds league
Who’s the drop?
Bummer, Doval, Loaisiga, Bednar, Rainey
Bednar
Add Duran and drop either Diekman or Bender in a H2H league with Saves only?
In a different H2H league with SV+Holds, would you add Duran and drop any of David Robertson, Steckenrider, or Diekman?
Thanks!
Hold for now on both
Hey Grey,
Thanks for your help yesterday. Would you start Ohtani at home vs Miami tonight as a hitter? I’m considering benching him tonight
Yes
Had no money holding onto my ship team from last year, but here are some guys who i picked up for $1 near the end of auction to round out my team:
cuttin’ eye joe
mateo
nimmo
nick mart
lauer
luzardo
megill
jhoan duran
just wanted to hit on a few of them….if i hit on all of them, im winning this thing again!
this is a props to you guys at razz fyi!
Nice!
Any1 starting Wheeler today? (vs NYM)
Yes
Hey grey, would you start Kikuchi vs Yankees today?
Nah
I’m going to be annoying and ask for early add/drop advice:
Add Joey Bart or Austin Nola over Willson Contreras?
Add Connor Joe, Brad Miller, Ian Happ, or Brandon Marsh over Avisail Garcia?
I know these are completely different players, but strong preference between Kyle Farmer and Tommy Pham?
Hold
Pham
Please rank Ju-Rod, Kelenic, Kwan, Vaughn. Thanks
Ju-Rod, Vaughn
Who do you like best as a reliever in saves+holds format: sewald or doval? I thought one of these guys be closing.
And do you think duran from min is going to claim the closer role? Thanks
Sewald — maybe on Duran, no idea
Abrams or Vaughn in a redraft
Think you missed me Grey.
Vaughn, sorry
Vaughn
Greysmoke-
Please rank these pickups for a bench spot..
Jesus, Adell, MattChapman, Y. Gurriel,
tanks a million
Jesus, Chapman
It’s that time of year again…”Trolling for Saves”.
I have Rainey, Bard,Robertson, Pagan, Bednar. Drop any of these guys for A.Warren?
Pagan
