We gonna talk about Lil’ Wayne’s favorite baseball player, “Franmil mil mil mil mil…mil mil, a mil.” Much to chagrin of the former Padres’ outfielder and Missy Elliott’s favorite player, “Matt Sczrczrczr,” or as she would say, “nac uoy eveileb eh saw reve a gniht Sczrczrczr my skizzard.” Franmil Reyes looks like a cross between Kyle Blanks and a vending machine that dispenses steaks. “Damn, I thought this was the crappy hot chocolate vending machine and now I just got charged $54 for a T-bone.” That’s someone getting a vending machine steak. Yesterday, Franmil Reyes did what he’s been known/capable of — blasting two, loud $54 vending machine T-bones into orbit, ending the night 3-for-4 with his 7th and 8th homer. He’s now on pace for 40 homers. Greek chorus, “Who isn’t?!” Okay, GC, but Franmil can get to 40 homers, unlike, say, Tommy La Stella. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Cal Quantrill – Expected to be called up for a spot start today. Some have said he has fantasy number two upside, some who call themselves Quants. Quants that are trill, likely. He looks like a low-8 K/9, number 3-4 eventually, but as a spot starter, and his lack of success recently in the minors, you can ignore.
Fernando Tatis Jr. – Hit the 10-day IL with the splits.
Chris Paddack – 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 1.91. I’m a full-on Paddack fanboy. A Pad-guy, so to speak, but he didn’t have his best stuff yesterday, and still did work.
Eric Hosmer – 2-for-4 and his 5th homer, hitting .252. As awful as Hosmer has been, and he’s been awful, he’s running laps around Kris Bryant.
Josh Donaldson – Out with a sore calf. Donaldson is a magician who can turn a day-to-day injury into a three-month IL stint.
Nick Senzel – Reports have him coming up on Friday. Or some time soon after. I’m adding the “some time soon after.” Just trying not to be over-Senzelous. We’ve seen teams do this nonSenz before, and be non-Senzel. It’s just Senzeless. Okay, I’ll stop. I do like him though, and would add him in all leagues. He’s a .300-type hitter with power and speed.
Amed Rosario – 2-for-3 and his 3rd steal, hitting .274. Ridiculous how few steals he has. I know how to make Rosario better. Everyone call him Ameddie, then if that doesn’t work, maybe you can fool someone in a trade.
Jeff McNeil – 4-for-5, 1 run, 1 RBI, hitting .370. Not a good time to bring this up, because he had a big game, but I’m starting to think McNeil’s a 4020.
Vince Velasquez – 3 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 9 baserunners (3 BBs), 7 Ks, ERA at 2.73. There’s the insane KaBoB everyone fell out of love with due to its botulism and inability to get out of the 4th inning.
Spencer Turnbull – 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 2.53. “Looks like your American League All-Star starter, Mike Minor, is tiring and Alex Cora is bringing in Spencer Turnbull. For those that haven’t been following baseball this year, Turnbull might be a new name for some of you. Actually, even if you followed baseball, you might not know him. Here’s Buster Olney with some info while I look at these nudie pics of Kyle Schwarber.” That’s Joe Buck at the All-Star Game. I’ve gone over Turnbull in the past, search the site by clicking on his name and earn me an extra .0000008th of a penny of ad revenue. The brief: I’m not a huge fan.
Niko Goodrum – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer, hitting .238. Just hope Goodrum doesn’t hit .151. Good for the jokes, bad for my teams.
Tyson Ross – Out on paternity leave. No word if Joe Ross is out on uncle leave. Uncles get no respect. They’re just out here, living their best life, hitting on 2nd cousins and trying to annoy the crap out of their sisters.
Josh Harrison – Hit the Ineffective List with a made-up injury. Because Harrison was batting fifth all year, they’re now batting Ronny Roddy Tiger 5th as the Ghost of Jim Leyland makes out the lineup card. Maybe Ronny Roddy Tiger hit Harrison on the head with a coconut. Harrison’s like, “WTF, I’m not from an island. I am from Ohio.” Ronny Roddy Tiger don’t care!
German Marquez – 7 IP, 4 ER, 6 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.93. The line doesn’t do the game he pitched justice. Raimel Tapia, I love ya, but he misplayed a ball in the outfield for the 1st hit that became the first run, after Marquez held the Brewers without a baserunner through five innings, and Jesus Aguilar decided to wake up this week. Not to get all Robert Servatius, but this German deserved better.
Ian Desmond – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer, and his 2nd homer in the past three games. *steers fantasy team away from Tapia and towards Desmond*
Jesus Aguilar – 1-for-3, 3 RBIs and his 3rd homer, and 3rd in two games. “This Jesus Aguilar podcast is brought to you by Smelling Salts. When you’re asleep and you also have low blood pressure, the special kind of salt.”
Jhoulys Chacin – 6 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 1 K, ERA at 5.24. Exhibit A: Why you watch the games. Jhoulys looked so much worse than Marquez, but the final earned run lines tell a different story. Speaking of Story, the entire Rockies lineup looks like it could use that Jesus Aguilar-endorsed smelling salt.
Josh Hader – 2/3 IP, 1 ER and his 7th save and like his 10th homer allowed, ERA at 3.68. Five imaginary dollars says Hader has elbow issues by this time next year. The ol’ fake five dollar year-long bet!
Michael Pineda – 5 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 6.21. Funny 6/21 is also the next time I wanna think about picking up Pineda for fantasy. Not June 21st, but June of 2021.
Gerrit Cole – 7 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 3 walks, 11 Ks, ERA at 3.95. Before this game, Cole received a phone call from Austin Meadows to remind him the number one thing he must focus on is making the Pirates look bad, nothing else matters.
Josh Reddick – 3-for-5, 1 RBI, hitting .352. Reddick is one of the best STDs! *intern whispers in my ear* No, intern, it’s short for STUD.
Jake Marisnick – 1-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and a slam (2) and legs (1). The player with the least amount of fantasy ownership award goes to…61*nick!
Mookie Betts – 2-for-4 and his 6th homer, hitting .295. He’s hitting like a 1st rounder, if this were April 5th or 2015! Meh, I’m just throwing shade like a parasol (so gangster); Betts is still solid.
Rick Porcello – 8 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 5.52. His peripherals are kinda hot garbage underneath Gilbert Grape’s mom’s butt, but (stutterer!) he usually gets to around a 4.20 ERA, it’s early still and his swinging strike and velocity are okay. Not buying, but also not dropping in deeper leagues. He might be closer to a straight Streamonator call than we believe.
Mitch Moreland – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 8th homer, hitting .213. He cooled off tremendously — Extreme Trump voice, “The best cool off anyone’s ever seen!” — but usually when Moreland homers he follows it up with some more goodness.
Jurickson Profar – Sat out 2nd game in a row, due to contracting the yips, which was Gladys Knight’s band for a brief summer in ’88, but they kept messing up the words to the songs, singing, It’s Midnight, Georgia, Your Train’s Here and That’s Friends For Ya. I’m trying to hold Profar in my leagues, but it is becoming difficult. Jorge Mateo might be a smart stash.
Addison Russell – Optioned to Triple-A Iowa. Triple-A Iowa said, “We don’t want him.”
Cole Hamels – 5 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 9 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 3.19. In related news, if you only drafted 35-year-old pitchers or older, you’d be doing okay. (This may or may not be accurate, but my fact checker quit.) By the by, as hot as the Mariners were the 1st three weeks of the season, they are that cold now.
Anthony Rizzo – 2-for-3, 2 RBIs and a slam (6) and legs (1). HR to the Izzo!
Steve Cishek – 1 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 2 Ks, and his 1st save, ERA at 4.15, and it’s been two days since anyone’s seen Pedro Strop. Five days ago, Strop’s car was stolen. Now, they got him. Can his fantasy owners band together and pay for the ransom? Not sure where he was last night; is there a hotline we can call?
Mallex Smith – Optioned to the minors. Maybe he had a “loser has to leave town” race against Dee.
Griffin Canning – 4 1/3 IP, 3 ER as he made his 1st major league start. Griffin Canning is not when the cool wizards lock Ron Weasley in a Port-a-Potty. Because there are no cool wizards! It is the Angels sexy young call-up. Angels and sexy? What is this, the 70’s with feathered hair? Are you thinking about Farrah’s Pujols? RIP. Canning’s minor league numbers this year are gorge (9.6 K/9, 1.1 BB/9, 0.56 ERA), and I could see the flyer, but I’m not making it myself. Roofies scare me too much.
Jonathan Lucroy – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer, hitting .256. I actually own this schmohawk in one league, and that team (NFBC) is doing so poorly, I got sonavabenched! Sometimes you’re the one who knocks and sometimes shizz knocks you over.
Hansel Robles – 1 IP, 0 ER, and his 2nd save, ERA at 3.21. Hansel is having a fairy tale season, and is the closer. What, you expected Ausmus to go with the better pitcher? C’mon.
CC Sabathia – 5 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 2.66, as he became only the 3rd lefty in baseball history to record 3,000 strikeouts. To commemorate all those Ks, CC’s nightly knee’s-a-bathia will have Kosher salt in it instead of Epsom.
Zack Godley – Moved to the bullpen, and Arizona is undecided who will take his spot. May I suggest the first fan to run in from the hot tub to the mound?
A.J. Pollock – Landed on the IL and will have exploratory procedure to determine the severity of his elbow infection, i.e., they’re going to miniaturize Dr. James Andrews and send him into the elbow to do a mini-Tommy John.
Walker Buehler – 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 5.22. Know what I love? When my ace gets hit around by the Aints. Superb. Absolute *chef’s kiss*
Enrique Hernandez – 2-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 6th homer, hitting .258. He heard all of youse talking about dropping him. He heard you because Kiké controls the media.
Justin Turner – 2-for-4, 2 runs and his 1st homer. “I don’t think we can flush a whole body, but we can try–Wait! He’s alive! I just saw Turner move!”
David Freese – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer, hitting .233. Dave Roberts plays him because he can remember his 1st name. Prove to me that’s not true!
Starling Marte – 1-for-6, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer as he was activated from the IL. Kevin from ESPN’s “Get Him In Your Lineup” Department said, “A dog’s mouth is the cleanest thing in the world, and my dog licked my feet, so, yes, I’m showing my immaculate feet off today by not wearing socks or shoes.”
Jose Leclerc – 1 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 8.44, and another glorious blown save. Glorious as in Laura Branigan’s career post-Gloria. Speaking of has-been singers, Chris Martin might be next in line for saves. Maybe it’s Shawn Kelley, but it certainly should not be the disposed South African despot, Leclerc. Seriously, Leclerc needs a mental break like Profar. Send them both to Peaceful Doves Sanitarium.
Rougned Odor – 0-for-5, 1 run and his 2nd steal, hitting .145. Odor stealing bases is like a sad game of chicken. Does the catcher have the guts to catch the ball and throw it to the middle infielder in a reasonable amount of time, so the middle infielder can place a tag somewhere on Odor’s body? If so, you win. But if not, stolen base for Roughie!
Anthony Rendon – Hit the IL, which is backdated to when he actually got hurt on April 3rd. Or thereabouts.
Adam Eaton – 2-for-5 and his 2nd homer, hitting .296. Then, going back-to-back, was Victor Robles (1-for-4, hitting .255) with his 5th homer. Eaton/Robles is also a flesh-eating bacteria’s fantasy team name.
Trevor Bauer – 7 IP, 4 ER, 8 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 2.45. It was against the MIA Marlins, so I was kinda expecting a 9 IP, 0 ER, 27 K game, but I guess it will have to do.
Carlos Santana – 3-for-5, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 3rd homer, and his 2nd homer in his last two games. If he’s out there on waivers, Carlos Santana could be singing, Oye Schmotato Va.
Carlos Gonzalez – 1-for-3, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer, hitting .261. The 57-year-old CarGo is currently outpacing Jose Ramirez (0-for-4, hitting .181 with his 9th steal). Too bad no one warned you on Jo-Ram. If I only I was more like my father or Vanilla Ice, too bold.
Garrett Cooper – 0-for-1 as he returned from the IL, then in his 2nd at-bat he was hit on the hand and it looked like he broke it. If a meteoroid is headed towards earth, put Cooper in the least-populated spot on earth, because it’s bound to hit wherever he is. X-rays came back negative, but we know how that goes.
Lewis Brinson – Optioned to the minors. Brinson repeat.
Dave Roberts… King of the matchups. *sigh*
I’m going to stay up ’til midnight to figure out who is really closing for the Halos. :p
The closer carousel goes round and round…
deep 16 teamer with QS. drop t.richards or kelly first to stream. guys such as thornton, black sab, p.lopez, means, many bathrooms are the available streamers. and duplantier/jefry rod (who both sound back soonish)
2. in AL only with saves and holds sold separately have pressly, buttrey, barnes and swarzak. noticed swarzak’s utterly horrible FIP numbers. nab hansel and gretel here over him or just stick it. eventually c.allen probably supplants the LAA job again though. having said that swarzak doesn’t always get the SEA saves anyway.
So this happened….instead of his Iglesias for my Ottavino straight up, he added his Hamilton for my A Jones.
I could use steals so I think I can endure his BA. in fact, I may like both his guys Better than mine.. You?
Billy Hamilton? It’s fine, you can’t really start him every day tho
Looking at Rich Hill on the wire. I would have to drop one of:
Winker, Polanco, Chavis, Jones
What say you?
should say which jones and polanco.
My bad.
Adam Jones and Gregory Polanco
With Pollock injury being more serious, who do u like more ros
Verdugo or Soler?
Soler
wow, that pollock injury isn’t good, they’re having to remove the metal stuff that was input due to a previous elbow injury, and it sounds like the infection had something to do with that. wonder just how bad this would’ve been had it not been taken care of quickly, like let’s say he played for the mess here. might’ve lost a whole arm when you add in how most of these professional athletes actually lobby to “play through it” constantly. this would of course have made the “how many polaks does it take to put in a lightbulb with only one arm” joke kinda weird.
Ha, true
Kapler heard you picking Neris throughout peoples’ Q&As and decided to mix it up and use Neris to get one out in the 6th inning…
Haha, yup!
Cesar Hernandez or Odor?
Odor
pretty yuck on odor when this even gets asked. i own odor all over the land so i know how bad, but yuck.
I know, terrible
Worth dropping A. Jones for Senzel?
Drop Puig for Senzel?
Jones
Grey
Not sure why you dont like T Anderson but love Mondesi?
They are practically the same player with Mondesi have a touch more speed.
Both fast can steal 30, both have 20 hr power, but SO alot, both dont walk a ton.
I love Anderson
They both should have about same value correct?
If you mean that one ranked as a top 20 bat and one ranked around 100 as same value, then sure.
Grey’s preseason projections:
Mondesei 91/20/71/40 .249 rank 19 overall
Anderson 72/21/84/24 .248 rank 88 overall
Adding to what Cram said.
I am asking why, not just throwing one guys pre season predictions?
What are the other numbers that subject that?
Walk rate is close, speed is close, hr power is close, avg/ OBP are close?
Yeah, after 1 month? Mondesi should finish considerably higher ranked than Anderson when the season is done. Maybe it’s wrong, maybe it’s right, but the “why” has been discussed ad nauseam for the last 3 months.
Its not just 1 month, even their minor league numbers are similar.
The only difference is Mondesi half of season last year. Yet Anderson still had a 20 hr and 26 steals.
So are you calling Anderson hot start a fluke and not Mondesi last year?
I am just trying to figure why? Or if there are other numbers that project him being that much better.
Its an honest and fair question.
Fair point by Anderson.
Honestly, Mondesi has 40+ steal speed, Anderson doesn’t.
Also, Anderson was looking like a .235-.240 hitter till this month. Mondesi has better hit took projections than that. But I get your point.
It’s a fair question, but we are way past minor league numbers and again it’s been covered and talked about extensively regarding Mondesi. Go read Grey’s or anyone’s take on Mondesi.
My RP are Strop, Parker, Braiser and Ottavino. Saves and holds are separate categories. H2h league. I have been offered either Iglesias or W Davis for Ottavino.
1. I may be able to snipe holds with waiver claims so I am not above dealing Ottavino for one of his guys. Agree or hold? If agree, which one has the best longer term potential?
Agree, either… Raisel first
Avoid Coors in the summer! Gracias
De nada!
Grey – pick a side (16 team mixed root, 21 man roster (1 C, 3 OF, no CI/MI, keep 8 for life, no salaries).
Side A: Ozzie, Realmuto, Morton, Price
Side B: deGrom, Joc, Alfaro, C. Hernandez
Albies
Got offered Mookie for JV in a 16 team H2H points league. My OF is weak – Mazara, Laureano, Nimmo, Eloy. Pitching has been doing well with Kershaw, Castillo, C. Smith, Musgrove and Gonzales (until tonight). Also have Nelson on IL. Should I take this?
I’d want Betts
Can’t believe Kimbrel didn’t just take the qualifying offer. He’s not going to get his price and they have to compensate draft picks. He couldn’t take the 1 year deal and go FA the next?
I am the bigger idiot for holding a roster space for him.
I hear ya, I have him too
How much longer should I burn a spot on Yasiel Puig? He can’t be traded for anything and he just gets worse every week.
Hold
I sent Gallo and H. Dozier away to obtain Bregman. Is there like a group hug thing, like there is the prayer hexagon? I just need to know that everything will be alright!
So far in my one auction league I’ve also traded away Bellinger, T. Anderson, Castillo, and Ryu.
You’re a good J, J and everything will be all right…
Haha, watching the Mondesei (whom I am LOVING!) HR replay and that stadium is just EMPTY. So sad.
Yeah, two games for one too!
Ugh, Chase Anderson you’re disappointing me!
He’s hurt
Start mikolas @wash, montas @pirates, or Gibson @yankees or none?
Same team, different trade offer.
Would you trade Domingo & Bieber for Walker Buehler? 12 tm 5×5 (OBP, QS, and SV+H)
C – James McCann
1b – Freddie Freeman
2b – Albies
3b – Kris Bryant
SS – Mondesi
OF – Betts, Soto, Domingo
Util – Pete Alonso
Bench: Dahl, Chavis, Luke Voit Eloy (IL)
SP: Flaherty, Carrasco, Bieber, Paddack, Caleb Smith, Clevinger(IL)
start Nikolas @wash, montas @pirates or gibson @yankees?
Montas
Going back to last April, I bet Taillon’s ERA the first six innings is half of what it is after six. Whoever the hell is in charge of pulling him every game, sure does a shit job. What’s worse, the same thing seems to be true of Musgrove. Lights out for six innings, gives up a couple hits…AND THE JACKASSES LEAVE HIM IN! dafuq??
C**nt Hurdle!
Do you think c mart gets holds when he returns? Maybe the 8th inning guy?
Maybe, or 7th
Grey,
I just heard that Nick Senzel is getting called up either tomorrow or Friday and I need to make a corresponding move. Who should I drop:
Yandy Diaz or Freddy Galvis
Galvis
StartIng mikolas @wash?
Meh
Ops
Avg
Hr
RBI
Sb
R
H2h
Been offered K Bryant for T Anderson. Y/N?
Take Bryant
12 team 5×5 roto
Start McHugh @Min? SON has it at $2.8
Sure
I think I own the only team to have Bellinger and be in LAST FUCKING PLACE.
5×5 roto with QS. Redraft, 12 teams.
Was offered Segura, Thor, and Christian Walker for Treat Urner. What do you think?
Here’s my team:
C: Barnes
1: Vogelbach
2: Profar
3: J Turner
SS: Kieboom
OFs: Bellinger, Conforto, Billy Hamilton
U: Jorge Polanco
BN/IL: Corey Seager, Chavis, Swiggy, Judge, Trea
SPs: Bauer, Carrasco, Taillon, Mikolas, Matz, Keller, Darvish
RPs: Hader, Strop, Neris
Thoughts? Thanks!
Not easy to pull that one off… I think you need to take that deal and lose Profar
Yep, Snell’s fine. Recovering from a broken toe in 10 days happens all the time in real life.
HA!
F’n Tanaka…and Stanek. I can’t even with my ‘Perts league pitching. @#$%^&!
Haha, wait until you drop Tanaka and he’s lights-out
I’m not dropping him, or Joey Meatballs. I’m gonna go down with the ship if they’re the reason.
Hey Grey,
5×5 deep league (20 teams) standard….
Sending Kyle Hendricks and receiving Max Kepler. I have pitching depth.
fair trade or is one side winning?
Thanks,
Big W
Meh
Hey Grey
10 team league
Here are my needs. SB”s RBII”s and Saves
Would you drop either Choo or Ed-Rod for any below
I do have Senzel on my bench
Peraza -Steals
Chavis -RBIs
Robles -Saves
Pagan-Saves
Martin-Saves
Peraza, Robles
Who would you drop for either one
Choo or Ed-Rod
Thanks
I would be leaning more on Robles Then Peraza because of Senzel
Choo
Cool thanks
No problem
Pick a side:
Buehler and E Escobar
Quintana and GHolland
10 team, 5×5 roto daily
Buehler
When Jesus Aguilar was good last year, my friend and I nicknamed him “The King of Kings” because…he’s Jesus. Hoo-Hah! (Gray Albright laugh).
More of a cackle
Grey,
Are you coming around on D. Smith Jr? Viable in 12 teamers?
Not really
10-team points league (if applicable): Senzel or Christian Walker?
10-team points league (if applicable): Senzel or Christian Walker?
Walker
10 team
Util spot lose Muncy or Jose Peraza for Franmil or hold?
thanks grey
Hold
Drop Webb or Buttrey to pick up Ian Kennedy or hold?
Meh
Grey!
Trade Kris Bryant for Paddack in deep std roto dynasty? I own Bryant and am competing this year. Love Paddack but the return seems light, even considering Bryant’s recent past.
Meh
Start M gonzales (CHC, -3) Vs. CHC? Robot hates it, but it’s a 12 team league.
Nah
Hey Grey,
Trying to decide what to do with my closer carousel. Started the year with Yates, Iglesias, Alvarado and A.Miller. Since then I dealt Yates for Corbin(couldnt pass that up),dropped Miller and grabbed Neris and Elias. The only solid closer I have is Iglesias. Alvarado easily seems like the best arm in the TB bullpen but apparently Cash doesnt think so.
Debating dropping Elias. Best available RP are Swarzak, D.Castillo, Pagan, Robles, S. kelley, S.Dominguez, Barnes, L.Jackson
Do you like any of those more than Elias?
Robles over Elias
12 team league daily moves 6×6 with ops and holds.
I have both Mazara and G Polanco on my bench.
Current staff: Snell, Flaherty, Bieber, Paddack, Strahm, Yu, Parker, Leclerc, Chapman, Brasier.
I have an open roster spot.
Would you trade G Polanco for Pressly? I have an open roster spot I could pick up a player like Seranthony or Maeda. Would you make the trade and who would you pick up based on your feedback on the trade option.
Thanks
Nah
Not sure what to make of the Jo-Ram ROS projection of 75/22/74/20/.278. I think the SB will be there, but don’t know how he does it.
Going back to August, September of last season and April of this season he’s hit a total of 9 HR with an AVG of .245, .174 and .191.
His hard hit profile is similar to last two years, but ISO is .096. Prior to 2017 is was typically in the mid-100’s.
What do you think his line will be, Grey? Is he like a Starling Marte now – HR’s in the mid to high teens with 30-35 SB?
Welcome to Razzball.
Giles and Taillon or Lowe and Walker?
Another league – Brasier for Walker?
Apples/oranges
Yeah, need saves but have some 1B/Util depth.
Lowe who
Brandon… Forgot there’s a new guy in town.
I would’ve guessed Nate
Moreland homered again good call. The sox are heating up.
Yup
Who has the greater upside? G Polanco or Mazara. 6×6 with ops the extra category.
Mazara
Still buying Tapia? Drop Heyward for him? Thanks as always
Sure
Marquez or kershaw ROS?
German
Neris or Alvarado ROS
Neris
Hey,
Weaver, soroka, matz, eickhoff or german ROS?
Thanks
Matz
Moreland takes Fiers deep. I love it. Moreland=money. I can’t blame him for not leading me to 1st place in any league. He’s doing great work for a 30th round guy. You hear that K. Bryant?
I know! Called it in today’s post too
Yes, you did! Wouldn’t it be funny if he finished with 35-40 dingers and 100 RBI?
It would be something, surprising for sure
9 HR 19RBI through 31 games is a nice clip. Can’t complain. Now if only ODB actually plays a game and does something…
I’d take some ODB action too
Buelher for Carpenter & Muncy…which side do you like in an OBP / QS league? Trade Analyzer has a slight advantage for the Carp/Muncy side, but I think I disagree.
You guys rock. Thanks for all your work on this site.
No problem!
I’d take Buehler, but it’s fair
Corey Seager was dropped in my 10 team h2h league. I probably can’t play him anywhere currently, but would just be a speculate bench bat, hoping he turns it around. Would you give up your only streaming spot on Seager?
Yes
Someone dropped Alvarado in my 12 team H2H league. Do I drop either Minter or Robles to pick him up? I could also speculate and pick up Kelley or Jackson for saves instead. Thanks for the advice!
Minter
Trade Luke Voit for Eduardo Rodriguez? Or meh? 12 tm 5×5 (OBP, QS, and SV+H)
C – James McCann
1b – Freddie Freeman
2b – Albies
3b – Kris Bryant
SS – Mondesi
OF – Betts, Soto, Domingo
Util – Pete Alonso
Bench: Dahl, Chavis, Luke Voit
SP: Flaherty, Carrasco, Bieber, Paddack, Caleb Smith, Clevinger(IL)
RP – Diego Castillo, Ryan Pressly, Blake Parker, Neris
No
Buehler, are we worried enough to stay away from altogether or look to buy low?
Buy low
Would one of :
1) Flaherty
2)Domingo
3). H Dozier
Be fair offers, too much, not enough ?
I’d try Dozier
Thanks…just curious how would you rank those 3?
There’s no ranking them, I’d send Dozier, that’s it
Thanks
No problem
Would you rather have Glasnow or Buehler ROS in a standard roto (use QS instead of wins) redraft league?
Glasnow
Would Folty and Buehler be too much to offer the Glasnow owner? My other SP are Carrasco, Flaherty, Marquez, Cole, Folty
Yeah, meh
Have a little FOMO should Glasnow turn into last years’ Snell
I know
Drop Winker for Christian Walker? Thanks!
Yes, Walker
Last one gray. Should I trade Gallo and Matt Chapman for machado? My lineup would end up being
C: Alfaro
1st: Hoskins
2nd: Villar/Chavis
3rd: Machado
SS: Bogaerts
LF: Yelich
CF: Acuna
RF: JD
Utility: Eugenio/Voit/ segura
It’s giving a lot but my lineup would be stacked
Sounds ok
Machado has to heat up soon right? I feel like he started slow last year as well
I think so
Cool thanks gray
No problem
Would you rather own machado or Bregman ?
Machado, but close
Pretty ecstatic about the Leclerc thing, but for a weirder reason than you might expect, especially since I own Leclerc on two NFBC teams.
Anyways, I had Stanek in two of my 12 team daily roto lineups until right before games started. I’ve been making it a point to throw him out there recently for a few Ks and ratio stabilization, since my leagues are IP limited instead of GS limits. Anyways, I was hesitant about it this morning because I had a bad feeling about the top of that Royals lineup in the first inning. So I dropped Stanek at like 12:58 to add Chris Martin. Dodged some bloated ratios and maybe grabbed free saves *shrug emoji*
This concludes the diary entry of a chronic rosterbator, dated May 1st 2019.
I’m happy to be able to drop Leclerc too
Two questions:
1. Need one for Utility: Smoak, Verdugo, F. Reyes or Hosmer; and
2. Would you trade Thor/Votto for Bryant/Voit
Franmil 2. Bryant
Which side:
Bellinger/Miggy/B. Hamilton
or
Jo-Ram/Paxton/Doolittle
Thanks
Jo-Ram/Pax, I guess, you’re throwing good money after bad tho, prolly
thanks for the last response
got another one for ya, would you use the #1 waiver on franmil in a dynasty? i would have to drop odor
thanks!
Works for me
All things being equal, do you like Verdugo or Segura in 11 tm keeper? I have Mondesi at SS and so Segura is either my only bench bat or utility player. Other OF I have is Gallo, Bellinger, Hoskins, Springer.
Segura
Thanks!
No problem
Romo or Minter/L. Jackson/Webb
Romo
By the way, is this the proper form to use to express mild disappointment that you went with a fairy tale reference over the much better Zoolander reference?
“Hansel, he’s so hot right now.”
C’mon son – it was right there for the taking.
Someone said that in comments
Yes, me, just now.
What, I’m supposed to ready every damn comment?
I’ve filed my complaint and now I’d like to speak to a manager.
~Becky
Yes, Becky, you are, cmon!
SON hates Taillon today @TEX (-1). You startin him anyways?
Thanks
Nah
Is this what we waited for all these years from Vlad? Bust!
Haha
Who do you like for saves in TX? My gut says Kelley, but could it be Chris Martin?
Kelley
Thanks. And glad to see ya finally got the Rizzo lingo settled. There was growing concern among the fantasy hip hop community that we’d never be able to establish a proper scoring system for your write-ups otherwise.
Boyeeeeeeeeeeee!
Thanks for noticing!
I need to move segura. I’m thinking of pairing him with one of musgrove, Boyd, Paddack for Carrasco. Which/ if any would you offer?
Carrasco = Segura
Dynasty League: Got offered Severino for Sale. Not competing for title this year…take it or leave it?
Rule #1. Always compete for the title…so Sale.
Meh, sounds ok, I guess
I’m getting insider information from my fantasy sports site…telling me pre-season sleeper Ronald Guzman in nearing a return. Thames has taken his place on my roster. Would you drop Thames when Guzman returns or throw Guzman into the heap of shizz which is my 14 teamer waiver wire?
Hold for now
Great stuff as usual Grey!
Please rank these players in a keeper league context:
Soto, Mondesi, Tatis Jr, Robles, Alonso

Jesus hit our waiver wire prior to him busting out of his slump (typical owner dropped him and then he hits 2 bombs). Anyways, I was planning to put a waiver claim in for him, but then the next night an owner dropped Encarnacion. I held back my claim on Jesus; he passed through unclaimed. Questions is would ROS would you prefer Jesus or Edwin?
Jesus
