Full service gas station asks me how much I want, and I say, “Fill it up,” and when they return for the hundred and seventy-five dollars for the eight gallons, I say, “I meant fill me up with Brewers starters.” Why did I stop in a gas station? Because I had to check my fantasy team. Then, because I don’t have the gas money, I’m imprisoned and my cellmate says, “Top or bottom,” and I think he’s talking about which bunk and I say, “It doesn’t matter. Hey, wanna hear about a new Brewers starter?” Yesterday, Logan Henderson went 6 IP, 2 ER, 3 hits, zero walks, 8 Ks, ERA at 4.50, as he was recalled to replace Woodruff. Yippee-ki-yay or Yippee-ki-lowercase yay? Oh, he’s big-time yippee-ki-yay. A full-on endorsement from the Fantasy Master Lothario (don’t abbreviate it), I love him. He’s basically been an ace for his time in the majors (combining last year too). This year: In the minors, 13.3 K/9, 4.6 BB/9, 1.02 ERA in 17 2/3 IP. Then 12.4 K/9, 1.1 BB/9, silly small sample of eight innings in the majors, but as long as he’s in the rotation, there’s no reason to not grab him. Now, if someone could put some money in my account so I can get a packet of ramen seasoning and toilet wine. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Kyle Harrison – 6 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 2.12. Gave you my Kyle Harrison fantasy the last time he pitched. By the way, he was traded to the Red Sox for Devers, and given up on in less than a half season with the Red Sox. An emoji with a thick Boston accent that needs to watch The Town to feel something again.
Connor Prielipp – 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 3.86. Still pretty early to draw any strong conclusions, but, wow, he’s throwing his slider a lot. Prolly won’t continue unless a younger Lance McCullers Jr. is his pitching coach. Say, Lance McCullers Jr. Jr. Still has to be a deep league to be interested, and Streamonator nor I love his next one.
Joe Ryan – Left his start with elbow soreness. There’s three starters left in the majors, do you have one?
Kazuma Okamoto – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 9th homer, hitting .236. Bit surprising how poor he’s hitting for average, but that’s a mere quibble. Don’t be a quibbler, no one likes those.
Shota Imanaga – 7 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 2.40. Completely anecdotal but Shota feels like he gets a near-2.50 ERA, then it bounces back to 3.20, then down and up. It’s the Shota Yo-Yo.
Matthew Boyd – 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 6.00. If you can find anyone who just looks at his 6.00 ERA, buy low!
Moises Ballesteros – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 6th homer, hitting what. What’s he hitting? Within 20 points. Go ahead, guess. Bzzt, wrongo! He’s hitting .317.
Gabriel Moreno – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. Yo Gabby Gabby!
Rhett Lowder – 1 1/3 IP, 8 ER, ERA at 5.09 vs. Carmen Mlodzinski – 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 4.76. This matchup was billed as, “‘Mlod, make the bleeding stop,’ I say as someone drops my fantasy team off in front of the ER and then drives away in a hurry.”
Chase Burns – 7 IP, 0 ER, 4 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 2.20 vs. Braxton Ashcraft – 7 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.02. Nearly made both of these guys the lede, but I feel like I’ve talked a lot about both. I got the Burns to prove it, and Ashcraft or grass, no one rides for free. They’re both fantastic. Burns was a preseason sleeper and Ashcraft looks like a number three. They’re a delight. In a sea of garbage, the Burns/Ashcraft stans alone (at top of standings).
Wyatt Langford – Re-aggravated his forearm injury and will be reevaluated in a week. I’m 5 for 5 with preseason schmohawk posts and I don’t even remember if I did four or five this year. That’s how confident I am. Only real debatable one thus far is Yamamoto, and, trust me, the underlying numbers don’t look good there either. It will be a W.
Jack Leiter – 6 2/3 IP, 5 ER, 6 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 5.45. Yeah, but check out how great his xFIP is!–[tomatoes thrown at head] Okay, but did you watch this game? I did, and I don’t even know how he gave up five runs. Pivetta walked so Leiter could run (allow them).
Spencer Torkelson – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 6th homer, hitting .225. On the broadcast they were like, “In Detroit, they call those Tork bombs,” and I’m sorry, but what does that mean? Is that a play on something? Work harder.
Ronald Acuña Jr. – Hit the IL with a hamstring strain. He injures himself running from home to first more than anyone in the history of baseball. When the founders of baseball, Billy and Batty Baseball invented the sport they said, “At least no one will ever hurt themselves going from home to first.” No one’s ever been more wrong! This opens open playing time for…
Jorge Mateo – 2-for-5, 2 RBIs and a slam (1) and legs (3), and, meh, outside of NL-Only. Inner Monologue, “Don’t think about how Mateo has more homers than Tatis.” Me to my Inner Monologue, “How can I not think about it, when you’re literally thinking about it!” IM, “My bad.”
Spencer Strider – 3 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 9 baserunners (5 BBs), 6 Ks as he was activated from the IL. When stars return, I just turn it over to Kevin from ESPN, but Larry David Meh Face. It was in Coors, but Chris Sale wiped the floor with the Rockies; Strider, clearly, did not. Might want to bench him until he pitches well.
Chase Dollander – 5 1/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 3.38. He deserved to be started, but now I’m operating with him as a Road Scholar, until future notice.
Mickey Moniak – 2-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 10th and 11th homer. It’s in under 100 at-bats. Moniak has twice as many two-homer games as Vlad Jr. has homers.
TJ Rumfield – 3-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 4th homer. That’s nice, when do we get Charlie Condon?
Roki Sasaki – 6 IP, 3 ER, 7 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 5.97. They’re calling it “Roki’s best start ever.”
Justin Wrobleski – 6 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners, zero Ks, ERA at 1.25. He’s got such funny underlying numbers (3.8 K/9, 2.5 BB/9). Do you have Underlying Numbers as a category in your league? No? How about wins and ratios? You do? Oh, okay.
Michael McGreevy – 6 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 2.52. Over here chasing windmills like I’m trying to extract palimony from Dominique Wilkins, mean’swhile, McGreevy is just pitching solid start after solid start with goofy peripherals.
Griffin Canning – 5 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks as he was activated from the IL. He’s still working up stamina (threw 73 pitches yesterday), and is more of a deep league guy for now. It does open us up to more comments where people ask about Griffin and I have no idea which they mean, so that’s fun.
Manny Machado – 2-for-4 and his 5th homer, hitting .229. Macho, macho Manny!
Miguel Andujar – 1-for-4 and his 2nd homer, and 2nd homer in four games, hitting .316. Could be a little schmotato action.
Drew Romo – 1-for-3 and his 3rd homer in his last two starts, that dates back to last Tuesday. No mo fo’ Romo? No mo fo’ Romo. No mofo Romo? No mofo Romo.
Sean Burke – 6 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 2.72. Embarrassed to say I’m doing well in one league with Burke and Davis Martin. Streamonator doesn’t love Burke’s next one, but I’m fine with it, assuming you don’t care about Ks.
Shane Smith – Will miss a few more weeks with a rotator cuff strain, after having a terrible season to start. Mr. Smith goes to Washed-inton. Got his ass! Or not, too early to say.
Emerson Hancock – 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 hits, zero walks, 14 Ks, ERA at 2.59. Love me some Hancock — not like that! — told you to grab him immediately after his first start of the year — did ya listen? Well, didja?
Cal Raleigh – Sounds headed to the IL with an oblique strain. That opens up catcher at-bats for Mitch Garver. Cal owners, “Mitch just killed my vibe.”
Luis Castillo – 6 IP, 4 ER, 8 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 6.29. He faced the team that just got Hancock-slapped. Castillo is not right, saying he’s shizz plainly.
Seth Lugo – 6 IP, 2 ER, 9 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.68. One of the best to ever do it*. *Being safe without igniting any flames in the nethers.
Kris Bubic – 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 3.32. Shouted the virtues of the Royals’ pitching coach last year, and then he was fired (lol), but I do low-key like Royals starters.
Ronny Mauricio – Hit the IL with a fractured thumb, and will miss six to eight weeks. Mauricio slammed his thumb in “the Mets are cursed.” Just didn’t see it there. This will lead to Baty to play 3rd, and Boba at short, until Lindor returns. Vidal Brujan was recalled too for utility purposes. Or futility as the case is here.
Mark Vientos – 2-for-4, 4 RBIs and his 3rd and 4th homer. Won’t try and sell you on him, I learned my lesson.
Clay Holmes – 6 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners (3 BBs), 6 Ks, ERA at 1.69 IP, vs. Jack Kochanowicz – 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.05. This matchup was billed as, “Holmes and the mystery of Who Gotchanosewitz.”
Yusei Kikuchi – Hit the IL with shoulder inflammation. Tough blow for Lisa Loeb’s fantasy team.
Bryce Eldridge – Being called up by the Giants. Itch just gave you a prospect stash list where he was featured, “Casey Schmitt has been the club’s everyday designated hitter since April 7th and was hitting well at first. Over the last nine games, however, we’re seeing why he’s not a great fit to be your middle-of-the-order thumper, slashing .189/.205/.324 with zero walks and six strikeouts. Small samples and so on, but what’re we doing here? Schmitt’s a 27-year-old utility player. Checking in on Eldridge, we find him striking out 33 percent of the time through 22 games but slashing .282/.390/.424 with a 120 wRC+ nonetheless. He’s got just one hit in his last five games. Not exactly crashing through the wall like the Kool-Aid man, but one hot streak can change that in a hurry when a kid hits the ball as hard as Eldridge. As hard as I’d like to hit Grey.” C’mon! I’m not a huge Eldridge fan. Fan is keyword. He fans a lot; it’s a terrible park and lineup. I could see a line of 18-22 HRs and .220. It’s very meh.
Jesus Rodriguez – Also being called up by the Giants. He’s a bit more interesting because he has catcher eligibility, and an under 10 K% in the minors, but he’s also behind Bailey (presumably) and has five-homer power and 12-15 steal speed. It’s an NL-Only play before we tell Jesus to take the wheel in mixed leagues.
Steven Matz – 6 IP, 6 baserunners, 1 K, ERA at 3.86 vs. Tyler Mahle – 5 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 5.00. This matchup was billed as, “No indigestion from either, even if usually T. Mahle sits in your stomach like S. Matz.”
Kyle Bradish – 4 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 5.03. This was the extended Layla outro at the end of Goodfellas for his time on my team.
Andrew Kittredge – 1/3 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 18.90. Frances McDormand starring as Kittredge acted in her hardest role yet: Crapping on my fantasy teams. Rico Garcia (1 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 0.61) pitched the 7th in a losing game, so there’s no actual closer in Balty-more.
Aaron Judge – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 13th homer. Went to look at the Player Rater to see if Judge was on top, and I was floored to see Jordan Walker up in the top three. The one year I don’t have him! That’s me starring in Waiting for Got’Doh.
Ben Rice – Hit his 12th homer, but left the game with a thumb contusion. They say he should be should be fine. Like Uncle Ben, inhale, exhale, Rice is good.
Jasson Dominguez – 3-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 1st homer. Let *handclap emoji* the *handclap emoji* boy *emoji whose palms are starting to sting* cook!
Foster Griffin – 6 IP, 0 ER, 7 baserunners (4 BBs), 3 Ks, ERA at 2.27. Hey, that’s Marla Gibbs’s ERA! He’s a number five or six, and avoided regression on Saturday by having three runs given up marked as unearned. Just giving you a little heads up, he’s not a Marla Gibbs. He’s a Fauxla Gibbs. Fauxla-la-la-la-la-la Gibbs! Okay, I’ll stop now.
Connelly Early – 4 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 3.79. Not entirely sure what’s going on with Early, but, as I keep saying, he does not look right. Maybe it’s simple as mechanics, but, As I Keep Saying, Part II: He Keeps Saying Shizz, who cares if it’s mechanics? It’s not like you can help him fix it. So much time and energy is spent by people in fantasy wondering what is wrong with a guy and how to fix them, when the players are never going to consult with Mr. Fantasy Baseball ‘Pert.
Ranger Suarez – Left the start with hamstring soreness. Are all starters, like, having a BBQ on the IL and didn’t invite us?
Jarren Duran – 2-for-5 and his 3rd homer, and 2nd homer in three games. Nice, hey, can he phone up Tatis and tell him the season’s started?
Spencer Arrighetti – 5 IP, 1 ER, 10 baserunners (5 BBs), 4 Ks, ERA at 1.96. When regression comes for Arrighetti, it’s gonna be like a public restroom in there.
Jesus Luzardo – 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 8 hits, zero walks, 10 Ks, ERA at 5.09. Clearly, not enough people trust him yet. Once Luzardo’s favorability is over 50%, that’s when he screws you over. Call Luzardo, The Politician.
Bryson Stott – 1-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer, hitting .206. .206?! But wait: Alec Bohm (1-for-5, 1 run, 1 RBI) is hitting .162! Did his parents steal his batted ball profile?
Tyler Phillips – 3 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 1.27. Uh, well, interjection, I guess you can get a 3-inning save, but that’s not what this was, was it? I don’t know why MLB managers have to think like, “Imma use my best reliever in any situation I need him and not save him for, uh, saves.” Stop thinking! Marlins were down by seven runs too, so there was zero reason, except Phillips is not their closer, just the most dependable reliever.
Max Meyer – 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 2.68. He’s actually pitching as well as he did last year, when he had a 4.73 ERA, and he’s never thrown more than 64 2/3 IP in the majors, and he’s been up since 2022. Damn, I’m being a major bummer. I like Meyer a lot, and would absolutely roster him, but he never stays on the field and his BABIP is a tad low.
Joe Mack – Called up and Agustin Ramirez sent down. The world’s largest woof that I spent in drafts for Ramirez in two-catcher leagues and now that’s over. I will not mourn myself for being stupid. I will only reaffirm feelings of, “If you punted catcher and drafted Liam Hicks, you’d be better off.” So, Joe Mack! He hasn’t exactly been a Mack truck riding through MiLB pitchers (3/1/.244 in 82 ABs), but last year was likely closer to skill level (21/9/.257). Won’t hit for a good average, but has pull power and some light speed. People love his defense, so that’s why you might hear a lot about him. Grab him in leagues deeper than 15 team, and if struggle bus in 12.
Parker Messick – 5 IP, 4 ER, 6 hits, zero walks, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.40. Went into Bing Bong and was made sick. Sounds similar, but unrelated-Gadzooks! It is related! To my beautiful pitching!
Chase DeLauter – 2-for-4 and his 6th homer, hitting .304. I told you he didn’t retire after his big first week of the season. You’re so silly!
Zack Gelof – 1-for-3, 2 runs and his 2nd homer. Tyler Soderstrom (3-for-4, 2 runs, 4th homer) went back-to-back with Gelof and Colby Thomas (1-for-2) hit his 1st homer. Bing Bong isn’t even hot yet. Wait until the glorious June through August games. We gonna Bing Bong the bingbongiest.
Nick Kurtz – 1-for-4 and his 20-game walk streak ended on Saturday. Roy Cullenbine’s streak of 22 games consecutive games with a walk stays intact. Now to find Roy Cullenbine Jr., who was walking from his home in Hackensack to SacTown, to remember his father in what he was calling the Sack-to-Sac Walk. No one knows why he didn’t take his wallet or phone. If you see someone with a Cullenbine jersey on the shoulder of the I-80, please call the police. All he ate was a banana.
Ed-Cab WTF? I’s KeBryan effing Hayes! You know, he of the .129 batting average? FFS.
Alright. Scratched out a QS with 8 Ks. Good job. Now sit him down!
Gah. Picked up Nola to stream but then dropped him to pick up Henderson. Poor roster management!
Haha
Didn’t feel good about Nola up tho lol.
Obp league who do you like more royce lewis or Miguel vargas.
Obp League 2: need to cut one player: m vargas, r lewis. H Ramos, kwan. Thanks
Vargas
Kwan
10Tm NL H2H w/ OBP and Limited Moves
I need to lose Agustin for another bat. I currently don’t have a bench bat but am thinking of picking up Andujar or Mateo and sending Caissie to the bench. Go with Andujar first?
CA Herrera
1B Stewart
2B Nuñez
3B Wetherholt
SS Swanson
INF Devers
OF Carroll, Chourio, Griffin, Bleday
Util Caissie
B AgRam
Yeah, Andujar
If you only had one bench bat, would you want Chandler Simpson or Jose Caballero? I’ve seen Jose’s savant page, but does the 2B/3B/SS/OF eligibility and steals make him more valuable than Chandler in a bench role?
Simpson
Competing in a 6×6 roto league with OPS and QS. 12 teams. I am in desperate need of saves. Was offered Andres Munoz for Kade Anderson. We have 5 minor league slots where we can “stash” guys until they get the call.
You like this deal or does this betray the SAGNOF principle?!
Giving away the best prospect pitcher for saves? Meh
Just heard Joe Ryan has to have TJ surgery. Oof.
Damn
I don’t see that news anywhere
Haven’t seen anything except that he is traveling with the team which seems like a good sign after a MRI, and they will make an announcement tomorrow. Fingers crossed..
Rank the following relievers ROS? SOLDs league where saves count double.
Kuhnel, Brash, Whitlock, Ben Joyce, Abner Uribe, Mason Montgomery, Jeremiah Estrada
Uribe, Whit, Brash, Mason
Two questions:
A) How would you rank these starters in a 12 team?
Seth Lugo, Logan Henderson, Christian Scott, Max Meyer
B) Also, in a keeper league is Jackson Holliday still worth stashing on IL? I’m getting too many injuries and need to decide if I should be patient or cut.
1. Meyer, Lugo, Logan B. seems fine to lose him
Great write up Grey!
For this week you like Jasson or Wilyer?
Also are we starting Woo against ATL at home after his last 2 clunkers?
Thanks!
LG
Jasson
Start Woo
Grey,
please rank based on these starts for a pts league:
Eovaldi AZ; @Hou
EPerez @Min; @TB
Peralta DET; NYY
Eovaldi, Freddy…
Grey,
would Michael King @Mil; @Sea jump ahead of anyone?
Nope
Master in a 10 team OPS league how would you rank Paredes, Andrew vaughn, jac caglione, jasson dominguez
Vaughn, Jasson
Hey Grey, trying to figure out where to make room for Chourio returning, hoping you can help me out! 10 team roto, only 1 Bench spot, my roster is below, who is the drop?
C – Jeffers
1b – Kurtz
2b – Ildemaro
Ss – Gunnar
3b – Jung
Cm – Alonso
Mi – CJ Abrams
O1 – Rooker
O2 – PCA
O3 – Bellinger
O4 – Altuve (qualifies at 2b of course)
O5 – Varsho
Util – Busch
P – Skenes
P – Gausman
P – Wheeler
P – Eovaldi
P – Ray
P – Sheehan
P – Munoz
P – Varland
P – T Scott
Bench: Logan Henderson
I’m guessing the drop is Vargas, and move Altuve to 2b? Im guessing Vargas is just an extended hot streak, but i kinda recall you saying he could be this year’s Perdomo and I kinda think there may be something to that. I guess I could drop Sheehan too, but his swinging misses get me all giddy. Appreciate the thoughts!
Yes, Vargas and shift Altuve
Should I trade my Jordan walker, Otto Lopez, and Edward Cabrera for Bobby Witt? Not sure if it’s too much or too little, but I can afford to lose some players. Id rather lose a trade then have to drop a good player because I need roster spots for players like Chourio and Lodolo coming off IL lol
Works for me
If you had to stash one prospect SP that should eventually be called up this year, who would it be?
Thanks
Snelling
That Ben Rice went to the same college as Dr Seuss only makes me enjoy owning him all the more. Get well soon!
The places Rice’ll go
Green eggs and slam.
Haha
One more question Grey if I may.
Who are we starting out of Galen against Pitt, Leiter against Cubs, or Bradish at Miami?
This is for a Yahoo 12 Team H2H.
Thanks Grey.
I wouldn’t roster Gallen anymore
I guess Bradish
Yeah, great point. Galen is gone.
I don’t love starting Bradish, but it is Miami. I would consider Leiter, but the Cubs seem kinda dangerous.
Ok, thanks much Grey.
Yeah, No problem
12 team redraft h/h points
Harrison or Ashcraft
Harrison
Roy Cullenbine Jr. may have only eaten a banana, but I keep thinking I fell for the ol’ banana in the tailpipe when I picked up Ragans.
Context: The same owner dropped Cease last year, and I nearly fell over myself to pick him up. Results were for me were rather meh: 73.6 IP, 4.52 ERA, 1.208 WHIP, 5 QS in 13 GS. It did come with 93 Ks. I eventually dropped him.
After spending $24 FAAB (out of $140) to pickup Ragans: 5.1 IP, 6.75 ERA, 1.313 WHIP, 8 K, 0 QS.
I’ll give me more time but wondering where he belongs in my SP staff rankings.
Sale
Framber
Eovaldi
Ragans
Weather
Messick
I have Lodolo coming back and may need to drop one of the above to make room for him.
Haha
Last
Hey Grey, sounds like Noah Cameron would be an easy drop for Logan Henderson in your opinion? How about Cantillo or R. Vasquez?
Yes, Noah
Thanks!
1. No 2. no 3. yes!
Bryan Reynolds out there, is it worth picking him up to drop Ward Delauter Altuve, all on 1 year contracts or Lile who is on a keeper contract. thank you
Over Lile
Another WBC pitcher either struggling or getting hurt.
Yup
This is what happened last start for Skubal.
https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2026/2026-04/29/29d38fbd-c39a306d-8e679b59-csvm-diamondgcp-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4
He stayed in and K’d everyone so…..no precautionary x-ray? MRI? Or did they just not release they had him checked out?
I don’t think I have heard of a player scheduled to start to precautionary to surgery in a 15-30 minute span before?
Baseball trainers, the best in the world
Especially the Mets trainers, lol
Ha, yeah
Eldridge or Vaughn coming back from injury? Points league last roster spot
Vaughn
Just lost Skubal who should I add
Braxton Ashcraft
Burke
Dollander
Ash
Skubal having surgery to remove loose bodies from his elbow. Same thing Edwin Diaz just had. That’s at least 3 months out.
Yeah
ALERT! marlins are IL Paddack. Act accordingly
Wonder if they do it
Braxton should come up….
Boo
i like braxton tbh
Yeah, he’s fine, I’m being a hater because he’s not Snelling
Braxton Garret? Snelling? Long shot Thomas White?
Which side:
Eovaldi for Moniak
Apples/oranges
OBP league:
Would you rather give up delauter or moniak for eovaldi
DeLauter
Lugo home vs Cleveland
Eovaldi @ Yankees, just dominated them this week, the dreaded (face them twice in a row)
Or
Two step Davis Martin, @LAA, home vs Sea
Martin
“Why you should always draft a top starter” -My Ted Talk
can’t spell Tarik Skubal without talk
Hey Grey, 12 man roto, Brenton Doyle is my OF5 but added Friedl last night and own Dominguez, so Doyle is a drop right? I think he is platooning now?
Lost Ryan, want to add Braxton Garrett, be ahead of the curve
Could drop Sean Burke but hard to argue with the numbers right/
Yes, lose Doyle
Hey G,
Who do you like for a bat streamer this week in a 12 team 5×5?
B Marsh or Jasson?
Both have 7 games.
PHI face MIA, ATH, and COL (at home)
NYY face BAL, TEX, and MIL (away)
Thank you as per usual!
-IANASM
Jasson
preesh!
No problem
I’m opting Marsh. Let’s compare notes a week from today!
Ok
Auggie, say it isn’t so!
Glad I picked up Jeffers last week, but man – what a kick in the nads.
Ha I know
Skubal out indefinitely. Pitcherapocalypse!
Sucks for him and for baseball. Hate it
Haha
It sucks, but it’s also why we should never draft SP early in redraft. Elbows are just so, so fragile.
But yeah, for sure it’s sucky. I enjoy watching him pitch.
Yeah
Hey Grey, his is my first year to have found you and being so intrigued by the whit (not Bobby) and insight you offered I started drafting SP’s with Bradish my #1. I was also lucky enough to grab Lodolo and Pepiot… It’s hard saying goodbye to your first love but is it time to drop Bradish when Lodolo comes off the IL?
Yeah, it’s time
Hey Grey,
Do you think Logan Henderson remains in the rotation the rest of the season? What happens if and when Woodruff returns?
Thanks!
Woodruff would replace him or Sproat
ROS H2H categories
Gilbert, Webb, McLean, Soriano, Burns
Are you asking something
Sorry Grey, Rest of season – who’s your top 3 on this list, if you wish to share…
Gilbert, Webb, Soriano
When does the Cruz facade come crashing down with that 35% K rate?
Jordan Walker’s K rate could pull the rug out from under him too.
I said to sell Oneil 2 weeks ago
Cruz was hitting .267 with 9 HR on 4/26 ….in 2025
Here is his monthly BA last season starting in May:
.202
.176
.234
.133
.167
Final line was .200 20/38.
A literal tease and repeat of last year. His batting approach is terrible and so is his fielding.
He is hitting .216 the past 14 days. The other shoe is about to drop.
Every year is like the one before! Lmao. Obviously
Thoughts on a returning Lodolo and SonnyG? Lodolo *might* start Friday against the Astros. SonnyG might start Wed at Detroit. Start or sit each in a 11-teamer?
Start them
Thank you. Advice on who to reserve when starting Lodolo (vHOU) and SonnyG (@DET)?
2-start Cantillo (@KC and vLAA)
2-start Severino (@PHI and @BAL)
Bradish (vATH)
Tolle (vTB)
Dollander (@PHI)
Weathers vTEX
Hancock @CHW
Thinking 2 of Tolle, Dollander and Bradish. Re Bradish: It hurts to bench my “ace,” but might hurt more to keep starting him.
Bradish, Tolle
Lodolo or Rodon?
Rodon
What do you think Murakami’s final line will be, 40/5/.240 too optimistic ?
30/5/.220
With Chourio coming back (finally!), need to reserve/drop one of the following: Keaschall, Varsho, Stowers, Cam Smith. Advice?
Keaschall
Keep forever, trade your $9 Skenes for $18 Witt + $6 Schittler? Thanks!
Witt side
Lots of interest in Woo in my league.
My SP are Woo, Gaus, Ray, Gray, Tolle, Detmers, Burke, Cantillo
Potential offers I’m considering. Your opinion would be helpful. I’m the Woo owner.
1. Warren, Shota or Woo?
2. Warren, Rodon or Woo?
I think Warren stays in the rotation when Rodon and Cole come back or it could be Weathers.
Also, I have one team that is interested in Varsho. My OF eligible are Julio, Carroll, Soder, Happ, Abreu, Varsho, Barger.
1. Boyd or Varsho?
Adding that I’m dead last in pitching categories and 6th overall in a 10-team weekly standard roto.
More of a reason to take 2 SPs
shota, rodon, boyd
Other owner is frustratingly playing with combos to offer. Here’s another:
Shota, Rodon or Woo?
That would be Shota AND Rodon or Woo?
Shota > Woo
On his own
Shota
defer to grey but warren and shota for woo feels good (not rodon). shota is doing a good woo impersonation himself
Grey! Can you rank these 4 for rest of season?
Emerson Hancock
Bryce Elder
Logan Henderson
Parker Messick
Also Jacob Fatu or Roman Reigns?
Thanks!!
Messick, Hancock, Elder

deGrom
Could you please rank these SP for RoS?
Sean Burke
JR Ritchie
Davis Martin
Also, is woodruff toast? I already have my IL full with crochet, Lodolo, hader and chourio. Is he straight droppable at this point?
Martin, Burke
I don’t know but you’re getting back Chourio and Lodolo this week
Drop Grant Holmes for Henderson?
I *no can believe* that rat bastardo Craig Stamen brought Morejon out for the 7th after striking out the side in the 6th, ensuring a Hold only to bring him out for the 7th so he could squander a 2 run lead, negating the Hold.
Ok, 1 last pitcher question (maybe 1.5) for the day.
I’m carrying 5 RP’s in the hopes of getting saves but 5 seems to be overkill
(RP: Aroldis, T. Scott, Hoffman, Walker, B. Keller)
Was really hoping either Hoffman and/or Walker would right the ship but Walker doesn’t even looking like a setup guy anymore.
Question: would you replace either Walker/ Hoffman with any of the below:
Question 1.5: Are you holding either/both Hoffman / Walker or cut for a streamer like Taillon?
Thanks again (again)!
Garcia over Walker, but can lose Walker for a streamer like Taillon 1st then grab an RP on Weds.
Thank you.
Might try to get cute in adding Vientos today (don’t need to try and sell me… i’m already buying… for today at least), Taillon tomorrow, then grab a RP on Wed…
wish me luck!
Good luck!
Joey Cantillo @KC
Connor Prielipp @ CLE

Leiter
Need to DROP one please:
Ed Cab
Tolle
JR Ritchie
Cantillo
Max Meyer
Thanks!
JR
I love beisbol. Having a real yin and yang season–one team is flying high, the other sputtering. For the sputterers, can you please rank these SPs?
Luzardo
Eury P
Bubic
Ashcraft
Harrison
Yesavage
Tolle
Sheehan
Meyer
Lodolo
Harrison, Ash, Luzardo, Eury
Please rank ROS (10tm H2H QS league):
Bradish
Ashcraft
Messick
Schlittler
Cam…….Ash, Messick
I have Bradish. I should take any of the other 3 for him, right?
yes
RIP John Sterling
“Well you know, Suzyn…”
Haha RIP
i was always a staunch john and suzyn defender.
Baseball needs all the characters it can fit
just re-lived the rick camp he called on the superstation. 4th of july game…can remember it like it was yesterday
i think that’s like a genx baseball fan moonlanding moment
Yes!
Just rewatched, and got chills
One of the best to do it
It is high, it is far, it is gaaawn.
An A Bomb from ARod
all rise
Hi Grey,
Bench Miz this week? I can slide in an RP to help catch-up in SV’s but don’t want to miss out on another stellar outing if his hammie is ok.
Sure
Thanks Grey. It’s been fun having Miz so far so hopefully this a blip.
Yep!
Drop Leiter for Henderson?
Sure
Sending off Hancock for Bednar seemed like a good idea before his start bs the lowly Royals. Still do the deal or hold?!
Bednar side
Jasson Dominguez or Jake Bauer?
Bauers
What happens with Hancock when Bryce comes back? Bryce out of rotation or 6 man rotation? Managers do stupid things, but I can’t see Hancock going back to the pen.
I don’t know maybe 6 man rotation
Or Castillo to the Disgraceful List.
I understand that you are very high on Edouard Julien and if you are given options of most anyone currently available and Julien, you say you’d want Julien. His Statcast page is mostly red and he is hitting leadoff but sits every 2 or 3 games.
Player 1
87AB 15 Runs 2HR 35TB 12RBI 3SB 9 DPT
Player 2
86AB 13 Runs 0HR 28TB 10RBI 3SB 12DPT
Player 1 is Julien
Player 2 is Ben Williamson of the Rays
Not much difference at all. What am I missing with the love for Julien? Is he going to score a lot of runs? Is he going to hit a lot of homers in Coors? Is he going to rack up the RBI? He doesn’t really have any speed. Can you please help me understand?
Judge or Julien? Julien!
Someone offered me judge for my julien, and i was close to accepting. Thankfully i saw your message before i did anything silly
Julien >>>>> Judge, not close really
I don’t get it. I was legitimately asking what do you love about Julien other than the fact that he is hitting leadoff. Yes, he is hitting leadoff but we aren’t really getting counting stats. Why him over Brooks Lee or Angel Martinez or Casey Schmitt? They all have better overall stats than Julien. In ESPN leagues, Julien is 1.4% rostered and only 32% rostered in Fantrax. What do you see that makes him 100% rosterable? I am not trying to be critical, just trying to understand.
Edouard Julien – If he’s hitting leadoff 75% of the time for the Rockies, and he is, he’s rosterable in 100% of leagues.
$/game is Angel, Julien, Schmitt — Schmitt is so respected by his own team they called up Eldridge, Angel is boring and Julien was a well regarded prospect — if you can’t remove Julien from your lineup when he’s not playing, then you might be better with Angel — just because someone should be rostered in 100% of leagues doesn’t mean you have to be the one to own them
Thank you sir
No problem
Brooks Raley or Lovelady for spec saves ?
That’s pretty sad…Raley I guess
How are things Grey! Great Monday stuff as usual.
So is it time to launch Ranger in a Yahoo 10 Team H2H Points League? He appeared to pitch ok for the time he was in there. I am thinking Meyer, Ritchie, or even Jared Jones over him. What do you think?
Thanks much.
Thanks! I like Suarez, assuming his injury isn’t too bad
Yeah, ok. That was an option that I did not mention, but makes sense.
Thanks Grey.
No problem
Replacing Ramirez : S.Perez, Moises, or Jeffers?
Jeffers
Last week I traded away Ketel Marte & Jordan Walker for Pete Alonso & Joe Ryan. Pray for me
Eek
Is it worth picking up Nola? Over any of the following players? Randy Vasquez, Noah Schultz, Payton Tolle, Kyle Harrison
No
Morning & Happy International Respect for Chickens Day!
I will be respecting my dinner tonight in observation…
Someone just cur Bradish in one of my leagues. I know he hasn’t been great (or even mildly good) but he needs to be rostered, right?
Would you cut anyone on my current pitching staff to try & claim him?
Roster:
6×6 (OPS/QS)
SP: Chris Sanchez, Ohtani, Flaherty, Ranger Suarez, Ashcraft, Arrighetti, Foster Griffin, Meyer, Leiter
RP: Aroldis, T. Scott, Hoffman, Walker, B. Keller
IL (3 slots):, Gerrit Cole, Hunter Brown, Imai
Thanks in advance!
Haha, I think Bradish is cuttable, his walks are out of control…Him or Arrighetti prolly is a toss up tho for same reasons…or him and Leiter
Doh!
I was really hoping you saw something, anything in Bradish to warrant holding.
I have him in another league where SP’s are scarce on the WW, so I’m forced to hold. Fingers crossed, but not entirely optimistic.
Additionally, I see Taillon is available in this league, would you cut either Leiter or Meyer for Taillon’s start tomorrow (SON loves it).
Thanks again
Meh, maybe he fixes things, but things are stabilizing and his walks are bad…Leiter for Taillon is fine
Thank you.
No problem
12 tm H2H 6×6 OPS & QS – Keep Eduardo Julien or drop for Eldridge?
Cut Kyle Bradish or Mike Soroka?
I’d want Julien…
Bradish
Start or sit Cabrera vs the Reds tonight? Looks like sportsbooks got the total at 11.5 so I’d assume the wind is blowing out, probably leaning towards sitting even though he’s been solid as of late.
Meh, if it’s blowing out, you can bench, but if you’re not starting him at home, might consider not rostering him
Straight out @ 15MPH
Sounds bad, I suppose
Streamonator incorporates wind fwiw
Steambot likes the start to the tune of $21. has it as a top 50 start for the next 7 days
Since you mentioned Mcgreevy, I had to do the young Matt Morris visual comp. Not as good as the Tackleberry / Weathers one but not bad…
Another one
I don’t really see it ha
Ha, nice
The Cardinals broadcast is calling “Burley-bombs”. we must put a stop to this.
two ideas off the top of my dome:
AB-Seeya
A-Bomb
HAHA
Speaking of these broadcasts, I hate that they have taken the worst part of national broadcasts – dugout interviews during play – and made them their own.
I know as an old person I should not, but I do kind of like when they mic the players for a half inning.
get off my lawn with those mic’d players
what do you want on your lawn? flamingos? gnomes? darts?
i wonder what else would show up on the lawn list in Family Feud
Gnomes, always gnomes
jockeys
10 team
Lose Dollander for Logan Henderson?
Yes
Lourdes or vientos?
Vientos
Surprised by Agustin Ramirez. 230 is close to mlb average….245 I think is mlb average.
Is their other reasons?
idk I could find out, but meh
Yahoo has this note, so it seems his catching abilities were the problem, fwiw:
“This move was reported yesterday and is now official. Ramírez has really struggled as a catcher, but he has a 10 percent barrel rate over his career and makes a good amount of contact. He needs to learn to take a few more walks, but his bat could play at another position if the Marlins wanted to give him a shot at first base while he’s in the minors. He likely does not have a future as an MLB catcher.”
What do you think of Brice Matthews?
Ise he having a breakout…past 2 weeks been great. Just wondering if you have any inside baseball stuff or is it just dumb luck?
What about Gelof…still out on him?
Prefer Matthews or Gelof long term if you had to choose.
Brice is at least playing
i’ve had my eyes on him. have him on a hold em league. arrow is definitely up. super athlete for one thing. moved up in the line up. always a good sign.
Brice has a 36 K%, he will hit .170
Good morning Grey
1) Would you stash Jared Jones on the IL. Is he worth it
2) Schneeman, Bazzana ,Nick Gonzales, Kody Clemens
So I take it your not enthused by any of them?
Just looking for a boost for infield position
Are you asking who you should pick up? Bazzana
Yes I was
Thanks
No problem
Hey Grey!
10Tm ESPN Mixed
Current SP: Burns, Yesavage, Eury Perez, Eovaldi, Taj Mah(something),Bradish.
Correct, I think its Swan Song for Bradish.
1) Replace Bradish with Logan Henderson, Braxton Ashcraft, or hold?
2) Joe Mack or Rutchman (ROS)?
Gracias Amigo!
De nada
Who to drop for Logan Henderson?
Flaherty, Hancock, Lugo, Cavalli
thank you
Flaherty
Flaherty
10 team 5×5 redraft drop peraza for any of brooks lee, arenado, jeremiah jackson, nick gonzales, xander, angel martinez, edouard julien, jose fernandez
Julien
Hi Grey
pitch Ritchie in Seattle today?
thank you
Yes
The Kittredge 7 ER in 0.1 IP, can that ruin seasons in Roto? I had to eat it and not sure I’ll recover
I had it too
No. Around this time last year I ate Pressly’s 8 ER in 0 IP… still won my 12 team roto league. It hurts, but def recoverable. It’s a longgggg season.
An ERA of 3.60 over 1000 IP would become 3.66 if you add in 7 ER in a third of an inning.
Grey,
please rank for pts league:
1) Jung, Okamoto, Riley
2) Naylor, APages, Reynolds, Ward
Riley, Okamoto…Pages, Naylor, Ward
Would you move K Griffin for Yelich ? I have IL slots in my league
Yes
Varsho and Lareano about equal?
any love for Barger as an IL stash in 12tm? Maybe ~14HR ros
Really stretching to keep CarCo rostered since hes a “platoon” bat that hits lhp just as welI or better than rhp,, because zac gelof. i cant quit Cortes yet with a statcast thats Yordan-ish.
Only 2 players in mlb with 90% barrel% and K% yordan and carlos cortes
They are
I like Barger
Yep!
I start 6 pitchers in H2H points league. I need two of these. Lugo (CLE). Keller (@AZ) Ritchie (@SEA @LAD) Dollander (@Phillies) or I can start one and Varland where 2 saves is equal to a win. Thanks in advance.
Lugo, Chase
Hi Grey,
Acuna is now offering on the IL10 list. Do you see a tear on this. question?
My OF is now:
LF: Wilymer Abreu
CF: Jackson Merrill
RF: Trout
DH: Freddie Freeman
Bench
Kyle Stowers
1. Would you cut Stowers to pick up Jose Solar or Bieday or just pass?
2. Would you try and Trade Merrill for Mickey Moniak?
Thank you for all your hard work!
Hey Grey,
Can you help me pick two of these guys to start this week? I’m weakest at HR and RBI, though that probably won’t help in picking between these guys.
Canzone (6, ATL, @CHW, 5 righties)
Bauers (6, @STL, NYY, 4 righties)
T. Johnston (6, ATL, @CIN, 3 or 4 righties, not sure)
Caglianone (7, CLE, DET, 4 or 5 righties, not sure)
Troy, Jac
Hey Grey, seeing that T.Johnston is on the bench to start today, and it’s at home in COL against a righty. Does that change this recommendation?
Bauers, Jac
Hey Grey!
Would you trade PCA for Tatis in a HtH points redraft?
Drop EdCab (2 starts this week vs CIN and @ TEX) for Hancock?
Sure
Yes
Happy Monday, Grey!
1) Noelvi continues to absolutely rake in AAA. 16 games played (63 AB) since demotion… batting .397, 3 HR, 8 SB, 19 R… Hinds demoted yesterday and oddly Blake Dunn called up to replace. But surely Noelvi gets the call soon… right? Right?
2) One month in season now, how you ranking going forward… Boyd, Mize, Lugo, Detmers, Cavalli, Griffin
3) Any pitchers named above NOT a streamer in 12 team leagues?
Thanks!
I’m currently rolling with LA Dodgers Muncy at 3B. Bregman, Okamoto, Paredes, and Jung are all currently available. Who would be best ROS?
Oka
*Okamoto
Morning Grey,
I’ve got some tough choices at SP this week. Which two of these guys to SIT this week?
Cantillo (@KC)
Ed Cab (CIN, @TEX)
Eovaldi (@NYY)
R. Vasquez (STL, @SF)
Messick (MIN)
C. Burns (HOU)
McLean (@ARI)
Eovaldi, Cantillo
Dynasty league drop painter, bubba, tolle, or benge for Logan Henderson?
Benge
Morning grey,
In a 14 team 5×5 (OPS and QS)
1. Would you drop Gleyber for any of the following: Stott, Antonacci, Cole young, Peraza, Nick Gonzalez, or Brooks Lee?
2. Would you drop Dollander or Bradish for any of: Leiter, Max Meyer, J Springs, or Janson Junk?
Thanks
Grey, Griffin is available in my league. I know Griffin has upside, but I’m not sure if this Griffin is the Griffin I should prioritize over Griffin, or if Griffin is just benefiting from what he has been doing lately. Would you add Griffin, or let Griffin sit and see what Griffin turns into? He plays baseball for a team and that is very exciting to me. I love those kinds of guys.
(Does that about cover it for you?)
Anyway, I lost Agustin Ramirez too yesterday (dynasty league). Immediately wanted to pivot and with the news of the Eldridge promotion/hype, sold him for Ballesteros. I feel pretty good about one given how you (and many others) feel about Eldridge.
Hope you have a great start to your week!
solid
Hahahaha — nice!
Hi Grey,
Roupp did not pitch well. Keller is still on the wire as is Nick Martinez. Martinez next starts at home vs Toronto and at Boston. Keller is at AZ. I have Foster Griffin whose next two starts are road stoat Miami and at Cinn.
1. Would you pick up Keller or Martinez?
2. Who would you drop Roupp or Griffin?
Thanks!!
Mitch Keller. Roupp is home vs Pittsburgh and at LAD.. Thanks for asking for clarification.
In summary, do I keep Griffin and Roupp or cut either or both. to pick up Mitch Keller and/or Nick Martinez?
Thanks so much!!
I wouldn’t cut Roupp or Griffin
Thank you!!
No problem
A) Christopher Sanchez and E. Suarez for Caminero?
B) C Sanchez or Shot ROS?
C) Caminero or Schwarber ROS?
A. Caminero B. Sanchez C. Junior
We all love you Grey but the Bradish pick is killing me. Are you holding him in 10 team leagues?
No, drop him
Who would you add?
McGreevy, Sean. Burke or Logan Henderson?
Logan
10 team redraft AL 5×5…making a larger trade…throw in Gil to get Joyce? I have Yates on bench already. Don’t see any real value in Gil, unless maybe Yankees trade him..
Sure
Starting Tolle today @Det? SON is double digit negative but stil picking up data on him I’m sure.
Yes
Good morning, Grey,
Henderson or Randy Vasquez in a 10 tm redraft QS league?
Randy has a 2 step @SF and vs STL this week. I don’t want to miss out on Henderson since Woodruff doesn’t look right but also know the Brewers are trying to keep Henderson’s pitch count down so maybe less QS opportunities?
Thanks!
Randy
A Grey bomb for this Monday morning!!
Haha
ESPN points, this week only, please rank top 3
Baz @NYY, vs Ath (2 Starts)
Arrighetti @Cin
Chad Patrick @StL vs NYY ( 2 starts)
Yesevage vs LA
Trey, Chase, Arri — these are terrible
Trey, Chad*, Arri — these are terrible
Good Morning Grey
NL only. Short term pickup: JJ Bleday, Drew Gilbert or Esteury Ruiz?
Bleday
Have Adames as a utility batter in traditional roto and it’s been rough so far. Would you drop him for any of the following (randomly all Cubs) — Ballesteros, Busch, Swanson?
Busch
Mornin’ Grey – Yordan and Neto or Elly and Seiya? OBP H2H 12-teamer.
Elly
12 team redraft h/h points
Which side
O’Cruz..Skubal or Tucker..C Sanchez
Oneil
Walker the most surprising in the early top 3, but the other 2 (Rice & Baldwin) also quite unexpected.
True!
Who is better at C with OBP Jenson or Ballesteros. Thanks for the coaching
moises
Meyer had the best start of the weekend and sits at #10 on the 100 Best Fantasy Starts list. Sale earned the #39 slot in Colorado. Four other visiting pitchers have made the list in Coors:
26 Randy Vasquez Apr 21
31 Jesus Luzardo Apr 4
45 Tyler Glasnow Apr 17
97 Aaron Nola Apr 3
No great starts on Sunday. Bubic slipped in to the top 100 at a tie for 95.
Lowder’s effort puts him in the bottom 10.
Good stuff, Vin!
Hancock didn’t get the W, but kinda shocked his 14 K in 6 IP didn’t make it on here.
Forgot he gave up 1 ER though
Yeah, I don’t know Vin question
I looked back over the top 100, and getting a W seems to be necessary to crack it these days. His 14 K’s though, 2 more than Kyle Harrison who leads the top 100 list.
Yeah, likely
Yeah, the SPs are rated on 4 categories. If you don’t get the win, you are already down to 75%.
If nobody got points for wins, Hancock’s start would be the 24th best. Considering just the starts where there was no win, it is still only 5th best:
2026-04-10 Imanaga vs PIT 6 IP: 1 BR/ 0 ER/ 9 K
2026-04-01 Gausman vs COL 6 IP: 2 BR/ 0 ER/ 10 K
2026-03-27 Gausman vs ATH 6 IP: 1 BR/ 1 ER/ 11 K
2026-04-03 Woo @LAA 7 IP: 2 BR/ 0 ER/ 6 K
2026-05-02 Hancock vs KCR 7 IP: 6 BR/ 1 ER/ 14 K
Definitely confused on why the Marlins sent Ramirez to the minors. His stats could defintely be better but also, he isn’t too far off of other “must-start” catchers like W. Smith and C. Raleigh. Are they going to be sent to the minors? Since I drafted Ramirez in every league and put a contract on him in one of them, I certainly hope he is back up soon.
In other news, I am hoping that Chourio gets cleared to play today but if so, I need to drop one of the following losers from my bench: Stott or Tovar. Neither one is a great option but if you were going to hold one…who would you keep in the hopes that he either begins to play and hit lefties OR hits anything in and/or out of Coors?
Thanks.
Not 100% sure but I heard from a decently reliable source that theyre going to try to get him reps at 1b
That makes some sense since I didn’t think he was on the team for his defense. Just liked the C eligibility for an everyday bat.
That makes sense
I’d hold Tovar for Coors starts
The regression gods have taken a giant dump on Sally Boy Stewart. Is a possibly resurgent Busch a better option at this point then Sally?
Hold
I own Agustin (2 catcher league) and, IMO, no one available who would be positive; Also a FAAB league. So I will keep Agustin in my line-up.
Question: How long before Agustin returns?
I don’t know, I guess I could ask
Another .02 residual in the kids college fund!
here’s how goofy saves are…we’re in a league where 750 players are drafted by 15 avid 15 fbb’ers and there’s a guy 5th in saves (baker-8) who wasn’t even drafted.
my rcl team last week endured the soroka, 1st ashcraft, bryan woo, 1st seth lugo and the dollander. 33 runs in those 5 starts. ball had to be bouncy this year. the pitsburg pirates scored 17 runs in one game for instance. that was like 10 says worth for them a year ago.
also the news on volpe to the minors was interesting., could kinda see it coming.
I think the mlb is randomly shipping boxes of the bouncy balls from a few years ago to stadiums for use
Right?!
Hahaha — yup!
Hello Grey,
Schmitt, Julien or Bazzana?
Straight up 5×5
Thanks
Julien
Someone drop Framber Valdez. Do I put a claim for him and drop Patrick Messick? Or hold. Looking for QS is the main issue I need. Thanks as always.
Sounds fine
12 team redraft h/h points
Harrison or Henderson ?
Harrison
Waiting for Adames to heat up…was thinking of benching him…Masyn Winn or Jose Fernandez until Adames comes back to life? Thank you!
Jose
Who would you prefer to stash – G. Rodriguez in AL only roto or Q. Priester in NL only roto?
Option C is keep neither and hang on to a quality middle reliever like the injured Brash.
Priester
Great weekend catchup piece, Grey. Is Agustin now a drop in my NL only keeper?
Prefer not to
12 team dynasty
Early over Baz?
Trade Matt Shaw for Kyle Harrison?
If you can get Harrison for Shaw, without using a gun, hit accept immediately
Early
Yes
Drop Bradish or Rogers for Henderson?
Rogers
Rank these closers available on the wire – Jacob Latz, Victor Vodnik, Gus Varland, Ben Joyce, and Jack Perkins.
Thank you kind sir.
Thought it said rank these clowns at first and would’ve made as much sense…Latz, Perkins, Varland
Rotation health check time! Is there a doctor in the house?
Usually I like to have a guy I can drop without feeling too much remorse in case I need a streamer/SAGNOF/injury replacement etc and so on. (eg if Rice is out for a bit I may need to grab Rushing…)
Who is that guy here? I want to say Sheehan but the ROS Rater still holds out hope for him – more than some of my other guys… H2H QS 12er
Edward Cabrera
Jack Leiter
Emerson Hancock
Emmet Sheehan
Taj Bradley
Brandon Woodruff – IL
Nathan Eovaldi
George Kirby
Logan Henderson – only just picked up
Hunter Brown – IL
Sheehan is droppable, so is Leiter…I like them, but they’re not producing…I’d lose Leiter first
Are we buying Sean Burke’s progress? His BB% has been elite! Ks are down for sure, but is he figuring it out?
Yes, he looks great!
Oh, the bias against no-name players… For Schmitt’s 9 games from 4/22 to 5/2 he has a 161 wrc+ and a .937 OPS. Season to date, he’s their best hitter; his measly 4 homers is #1 on the team LOL. If the Giants bench Schmitt, it’d be exactly why their offense is so pathetic.
Ha, yup
Drop bradish for Warren or gavin Williams? Thank you!
Williams.
Gavin
Thank you
12 team points. Top three for Abbot, Henderson, Christian Scott, Nola, and Cameron?
Logan, Scott, Abbott
A) Would you trade Caminero for Eugenio Suarez and Christopher Sanchez?
B) C Sanchez or Shota ROS?
answered above
My relievers are either going to IL or stinking it up. Will likely drop Cole Sands as have no room for him on the IL. Also thinking of dropping Ryan Walker. Leaning toward replacing these two with in a Net SVHLD league
1) Tyler Phillips
2) Tyler Kinley
3) Cole Sulser
4) Jacob Latz
5) Jakob Junis
How would you rank them? including Walker.
Thanks.
Latz, Phillips, Walkers
So are you officially done with bradish or just keeping him on the bench until you see something positive. 12 team league. Cut for logan henderson? Or cut heliot ramos instead for henderson
Logan Henderson. How does B-radish (radishes suck), throw as well as he did last year to this? Everything he did last year screamed “I’m back”. This year? Career low K rate, career high walk rate, and WHIP = career high era.
P.S. I had Logan on my bench yesterday, and had Kittredge in. Lost by two points!
I’d go Henderson
