On the podcast the other day, I compared Jordan Westburg to Bo Bichette, and BDon stopped the podcast, called his job and told them he needed two years off to organize a music festival called, “Grey’s Finally Admitted About Overrating Bo-Chella.” At Bo-Chella, as it will be known colloquially, the headliners will be Jordan Westburg, Jackson Merrill, Luis Garcia Jr., and Jose Caballero. All middle infidels who are projected near Bichette’s stats and went in drafts about 150 to 250 picks later. Then Bronson Arroyo, Adam Wainwright and Bernie Williams will close out the festival, because there wouldn’t be a music festival revolving around baseball without those three guys not showing up and performing terrible music. Oh, God, on Stage 2 right now is Bronson Arroyo doing a Limp Biscuit cover. Man, that sounds awful. Wait, that is Limp Biscuit? Oh, okay. So, Westburg this year I wrote a sleeper post for him and I don’t want to repeat everything I said there, but it’s all relevant still, and should be rostered in all leagues. I’d instead like to turn our attention to Luis Garcia Jr. The guy who added Jr. to his name because he was sick of saying 12 times, “No, the other Luis Garcia.” I have a timer set to notify me when Statcast sliders are officially no longer a small sample so I can look at Luis Garcia’s to see if it’s still so pretty, because he looks Sweet Sassy Molassy. He’s a 15-ish homer, 15-ish steal guy with a .280 average. That’s basically…Well, I gotta run, I’m headed into a tent to hear Bernie Williams play WAR What Is It Good For (It’s Just A Baseball Stat That Nerds Use) at Bo-Chella. Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
PSYCHE! This post was released on Wednesday for Patreon members. It will be released all year early for Patreons, so if people are getting a jump on you, it’s because they paid the $10. Anyway, the Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell:
BUY
Rene Pinto – [makes farting noise with hand under armpit] That’s Pinto’s walk-up music.
Nick Fortes – With Bethancourt adjourned for the time being, it’s Fortes’s job. He excels…what’s another word for excels? Well, his Fortes is power.
Riley Adams – With Kiebert out cussing !&*(!^%~! his cold, Adams has the lead catcher job in Washington and he’s got power too.
Ryan O’Hearn – There’s no one hotter than O’Hearn. Okay, Nick Nastrini is, clearly. But non-male strippers-wise, it’s O’Hearn.
Gavin Sheets – Listing Sheets before Pages, like I’m a thesaurus that don’t know alphabetical order. Just absolutely carelessly free-ballin’ words!
Gabriel Arias – Yo Gabby Gabby getting those ABs! (That sorta seemed clever in my head. My brain doing nonsense 24/7 and now backlashing.)
Amed Rosario – Has been one of the hottest bats of the last week. *makes sign of cross* Amed.
David Hamilton – This week’s collection of shortstops to buy was how do you say…lacking? Actually, that is exactly how you say it.
Jose Miranda – Loved Miranda for a few years, then I realized I only liked him because others were saying nice things even though nothing ever good came of him. That’s kinda been the Twins’ hitting prospects for a few years, right? Everyone loves them, then they do nothing. Any hoo! Miranda’s young and has a job right now.
Jurickson Profar – Not sure if you heard, but Dodgers’ catcher, Will Smith, called Profar irrelevant, and clearly Will Smith has never rostered Julio Rodriguez in April. You could also watch BDon and I on Youtube discuss Profar, but here’s the relevant clip:
Josh H. Smith – I don’t want to accuse Bochy of playing Smith in place of Jung just because they have the same first name and Bochy can’t retain any new info in his giant melon ball, but that’s prolly the reason Smith’s been playing a lot.
Blake Perkins – Not entirely sure why but Perkins suddenly took over in the outfielder every day, i.e., Oliver is Dunn. It’s all over, Oliver, you’re done, Dunn. Do I need to go on? No? Okay. Perkins has nice power/speed and makes good contact. Seems like a NL-Only guy who might actually become a 12-team mixed league guy.
Jesse Winker – To pick up Winker, you need a nudge. A little wink, wink, he’s been hitting.
Edward Olivares – Feels a bit like when Olivares was traded he was sent to his new team with instructions like he’s a Gremlin. Don’t feed after midnight, don’t play more than twice a week.
Jonatan Clase – Just gave you my Jonatan Clase fantasy. It had it up to here with you!
Andy Pages – Already gave you my Andy Pages fantasy. It was written on non-paper pages.
Joc Pederson – When he hits one homer, he always follows it with a week of homers, then he goes cold for three weeks. I study this shizz!
Brenton Doyle – The wrong Rockies’ outfielder cut his strikeout rate this year. I’m farting in your general direction, Nolan Jones.
Sean Bouchard – I like Bouchard, and he’s performed well in his limited time in the majors. Those are two things going against him to get playing time for the Rockies.
Nelson Velazquez – Wrote a Nelson Velazquez sleeper this past preseason, so I’m bias, but I love me some Velazquez. Kinda reminds me of Olivares without those “can’t be exposed to sunlight” restrictions.
Esteury Ruiz – Not sure who’s wife he slept with, but the A’s seem like they want to ship Ruiz off for parts to another team. Fun fact! Shipping Esteury is what they call entry to the Panama Canal. Any hoo! If Ruiz plays, his speed is usable in any league.
Logan Allen – This is a Streamonator call, like the call it makes to the lifeguard stand.
Louie Varland – This schmohawk better finally be decent, but this too is a Streamonator call. “I’m afraid to touch the water for fear of rusting, so can you carry me just above the waves…Yes, I see, um, I weigh seventeen-hundred pounds.”
Kirby Yates – He could be the closer in Texas all year, racking up 30 saves and becoming one of the top pickups of the year. Or be out of the closer job by next week. SAGNOF, you wicked little jerk!
Jeff Hoffman – Phils are so overdue to get lucky with installing someone as their closer, who inexplicably holds the job all year (only to blow up in the playoffs).
James McArthur – His peripherals look like what you wanted from Josh Hader, who instead is bombing like MacArthur, the other one.
Nick Sandlin – I know a lot of baseball players. Filling one’s head with useless info isn’t a brag. With that said, middle relievers are still the few guys I don’t know. Fun, I’m learning about guys! Sandlin? Who tee eff? [looking at his stats] Okay, that’s who tee eff Sandlin is! I’m down with that! [watching highlights] Oh, I’m not the only one down, so is his splitter. Nasty little boy!
SELL
Marcell Ozuna – So, I’ve recounted a few dozen (hundred?) times how I was able to draft Ozuna in a’pert auction league for one dollar. That’s one penny over ninety-nine cents. That’s with Bidenflation! You couldn’t get a carton of milk for a dollar! You couldn’t get Keibert Ruiz for $1! That’s insane value. Also, Ozuna is where on the Player Rater? Okay, I’m sorry, his value might not get any higher than right now ever for the rest of his career. That’s slightly better than we should expect from him. No, he won’t continue on the 50-homer, 160 RBIs pace. I wouldn’t trade Ozuna for a ticket to see the ex-Puppetry of the Penis star turned snake handler but I would go to the Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer and explore options.
Nolan Jones must be defying the laws of physics and probability to be sucking this bad.
i’m not looking at his batted ball data right now myself, but when guys have that bad of babip’s, it’s exactly like that what’s going on. standard deviations off of what is expected often. like in poker losing say 10 coin flips in a row.

Conner Joe

Someone cut Ginkel for some reason and I’m always hurting for saves.
Who would you you tell to “get off your lawn” in order to claim Ginkel (full roster below)?
J. Walker (had high hopes, but dude looks toast)
T. McKenzie (looked ok vs. OAK… but it’s OAK)
A. Uribe (should be the closer in MIL, but manager is an idiot)
Full roster (6×6 OPS/QS):

NA (minor league stash spot): Loperfido
Thank you!!!
Would you start Pfaadt @STL and @SEA? Drop Lugo for him?
Would you drop Chapman, O’Hoppe, or Julien for Nathaniel Lowe?
Sorry Grey one more question
Merrill Jackson or K.Hayes?
Hi Grey, who do you think takes over as closer for the Cubs?
And is Alzolay a drop in a 12 team mixed or try to wait and see what happens over the next few days?
I don’t love Alzolay’s usage today…
Thanks!
Would you look to add Mitchell Parker? Or are the wins ( 12ip, 12k, 7 hits, 0BB) against the Dodgers and Astros just a part of the best week of his life? I mean, I wish I would get that kind of production from my aces! Thanks for any insight.
Haha, he doesn’t seem that good
something’s going on (small sample yes) with some of the WAS SP’s: check the FIPs on irvin, t-will, they’re a LOT better than their prior careers and SON indicates. this doesn’t likely matter for 12’ers yet, but i’ve been holding either of those in deep leagues instead of just stream/dropping them, mostly since the alternatives also have bad careers (or no careers yet) and SON hates just as much. hasn’t helped corbin at all of course. not saying it applies to parker either, but sometimes a pitching coach does something.
like for instance, when darvish got hurt, in NL only 10 teamer (i own 8 SP’s, need 35 min innings per 7 days, 4 RP max besides, some own less than 8 SP’s but anything too much under that you might be at risk of not making mins, you only auto lose ratios if you do that though), in the past i might’ve added t-will just to make sure i get min innings, but now i’m holding him. similar on irvin.
Drop any of Suwinski,Morel,Fraley or Merrill Jackson for Nelson Velasquez or hold?
Jackson
Hey Grey,
Civale or Christopher Sanchez?
Sanchez

Grey,
Ryan Pressley hasnt been the same since being demoted to a setup role. Do i hold him for the holds or cut bait?
Cut for who
possibly trade bait
Grey,
Im trying tio acquire Jared Jones and a minor league prospect. He wants either Keller or Fried (Possibly both) along with Landon Knack and C. Vaquero. Is that a fair deal? Is Keller and fried and the prospects too much for Jared JOnes?
Too much
who should i take out of the deal?
he wants Keller, Landon Knack, C. Vazquez for J. Jones. Would you make the deal?
Ok
when you said ok did that mean make the deal?
If you want
Gorman starts the season hitting 3rd between Au Shiz & Torrenado

Me: “I am Ruprecht the Monkey Boy. I have a cork at the end of my fork & an eyepatch.”
HAHA, yes
Drop Fraley, Jackson Merrill, Suwinski or Morel for Connor Joe or hold?
Hold
Hi Grey..James Outman is $3 on a roto auction KEEPER waiver wire. I have #1 waiver position. Worth blowing #1 spot to have Outman for next three years at $3. If I play him,he replaces McCormick. Otherwise I would drop an injured pitcher: Senga,Woo, or Steele? What shall I do? Hold and let him go or claim him for McCormick or Senga? Thanks.
How deep is this league? Seems fair, do a lot of big players end up on waivers? Hard to say…Prolly lose Chas
12 team. It will probably happen that better player at a cheap price comes up. If I let him pass and add Outman as a free agent,he is $10. Then I keep #1 waiver spot. How is your confidence he returns to last year’s form? Thanks Grey.
I think he’ll be fine, but it’s not like that’s a huge savings for $3 vs $10
Yeah. I guess not that big of dollar savings and it looks like Chas might be heating up anyway.
Yup
Fraley or Winker or Baty over McCormick?
Scott 3-4 in saves last 10 days. Hold or go to Kopech? Other closers are Munoz and McArthur. Pyamps in this conversation with these guys. Thanks!
Fraley
Hold
Who’s likely to provide more value this year – Senga or Eduardo Rodriguez?
Senga
12 team, 5×5 roto. 1250 Max IP, 1076 IP Remaining (+11.2)
Would you Start or Sit Civale @NYY ($3.2)?
Nah
Hey Grey,

5×5 OBP instead of avg
2) Who’s better this season in that format Stott or Thairo? Both are meh right now and LOL I kind of want to pick up Blaze Alexander on 420!!! It is a sign!
Joe 2. Stott haha
Am I hallucinating, or did FanTrax reduced the amount of info they display on the pitching lines in their live scoring panel? Now they’re only showing IP, W, K, SV, ERA, WHIP (basically the roto categories), but I swear they used to also show H, R, ER, HR, BB, or at least some of these. Now I have to click ion the pitcher to see the details. Ugh.
Not sure tbh
Are we holding Jackson Holliday in redraft leagues? is there light at the end of the tunnel? or is that a train?
I don’t know the future, he’ll come around at some point
Gelof or A Rosario? Drop Bednar or Finnegan for K Yates?
Thanks
Amed
Yates
SV+H League
Hoffman, Megill or Kittredge
Hoffman
Effing Alzolay. Jesus.
Yeah, not pretty
Mitch Keller can piss off as well. Stone too.
Ha
Who do you like the most from this list: Josh H. Smith, Blake Perkins, Marsh, Rendon, Gabriel Arias, LaMonte Wade, Wilyer Abreu, Bader, or Marsh? Looking for all-around offensive production, at any position. SB seems to be the only category I’m doing okay in so far. Bonus points if you can imagine a scenario where they turn into a decent keeper! Thanks.
Abreu
Would you trade Nate Lowe for Clay Holmes in a keeper? My offense hasn’t been great so getting Lowe back should hopefully help, but my current relievers are struggling big time, too.
Yes
JH Lee or Fraley?
Fraley
Grey,
Would you trade Max Fried to get Nasty Nestor?
Meh
u think i should hold on to Fried?
Would Taj Bradley get it done to get Cortes?
Sure
If that’s your best offer
Bradley for cortes might be a starting point
1) He took the deal. Now what is a fair asking price for Max Fried? i want to offer Fried and a prospect for Kjerstad and a SP. here are the SP’s I would be interested in: A. Civale, B. Hoeing, B. Ober, K. Muller, L. Lynn. Are any of them worth getting in the trade?
2) He also said he would trade kjerstad striaght up for Fried? would you do that?
Civale or Ober 2. No
forgot to mention 12 team dynasty/keeper/salary cap league
Drop Keller or Whitlock for Yariel Rodriguez or Jon Gray?
Whit for Gray
Thairo or Luis Garcia ROS?
I know it’s early, but Thairo’s statcast is ice cold.
Thairo
I drafted Jesus Luzardo in 2021 and he was awful and it took me years to get over being burned by him and I drafted him again in 2024. I am so sorry, fellow Jesus Lizard owners. This is all on me.
Trust him… this is the year
Ha, damn you
Drop Fraley,Morel or Suwinski for DJ Stewart or hold?
Hold
Hi Grey,
1. Would you start or sit Kutter at Pittsburgh?
2. Would you start Mize at Minn?
thanks for all your help!!
1. Yes 2. Yes
Thank you so much!!
Does Mize have any trade value?
I always appreciate all this help!
I doubt it
Would you trade Civale for Hunter Brown & Braxton Garrett?
Nope
Hi Grey,
Do you mind questions on the weekend?
AJ Minter is available. Would you pick him up? In my league, you get one point for a hold
Is it worth holding Crochet?
Thanks Taylor!

To paraphrase Seinfeld. I can confirm that Oaktown Steve is real, and he’s spectacular
I’ve now met my 1st Razzballer person and it was nowhere near as weird as I’d expected.
lol
Also just picked up Adams. Pray for Alvarez’s thumb.
Hahaha awesome!
More awesome than a dude hurting his MF’in thumb *running the bases*
What the actual F. The only weirder injury I’ve had was when one of my dudes got pinkeye. FFS.
HAHA, yup
I met Oaktown in person before in Spring Training…So, I knew he was real…natch!
Good dude – has a cool shop, too. Lot of high end grocery items. And now
8 varieties of Lucky Dog Hot Sauce!
That’s awesome! Glad you guys hooked up
Whew – it’s just a sprain. Of course they put Alvarez on the IL 10 mins after I dropped Elder. Gah!
Yeah, saw that, bleh

Volpe or Elly and is it close? Roto using AVG and OBP.
Elly
Julien or Luis Garcia Jr
I like Garcia a lot, but they give different things…Julien is power, Garcia is speed
Early days but what are your thoughts on Yariel Rodriguez?
He looks really good! I like him, grabbing him everywhere I can
Agreed, I am Jays fan so while I love it, I also hate it bc I don’t want to drop for him.
Bench bats are Chourio, Nolan Jones, T O’Niell. (too many OF at the moment, with Teoscar, Adolis and Riley Greene as well)
I avoid RP and stack SP, to win Ks and Wins, maybe get lucky on a WHIP or ERA
SPs are:
Peralta
Gilbert
Luzardo
Bibee
Keller
Miller
Houck
Morton
Flaherty
Suarez
IL
Whitlock
Ed Rodriguez
Anyone you would drop for Yariel Rodriguez?
I am dying for a Jay.
Thanks!
Could drop Ed Rod, move T. Oneil to IL and try to package in a 2 for 1 trade when he comes back and continues his run ( knock on wood)
That would make room for Yariel now.
I like Ed Rod but he is hurt, seems long term and maybe a dice roll that wasn’t worth holding when he gets back.
EdRod’s out for a while, but that only gets you to next Tuesday when Tyler returns
But once Tyler return he can sit in my IL spot until someone else is hurt or I can package in a 2 for 1
Nah, not yet there
Drop McMahon for Luis Garcia jr?
Sure
Who would you start?
Luis Gil vs TB
Jesus Luzardo vs CHC
The Robot like Luzardo. I myself though am scared.
Both
It’s a points league and I can’t start both due to start limits in each segment.
Luzardo
Thanks for answering our questions early on a Saturday morning!
No problem
I second that, so solid.
I heard there is no Ambulance Chasers because Keelin’s post was just 2 words: “Everyone’s injured.”
HA, she struggled to get on the site yesterday, it’ll be around later I believe
“WAR What Is It Good For (It’s Just A Baseball Stat That Nerds Use)” LOL!!

Which streamer do u prefer
Stone home vs Mets or
Hicks home vs Arizona?
Hicks
Hey Grey,
What’s up with Andrew Vaughn? Is he just bad? I only “invested” $5 in him in my 5×5 OBP league; however, he’s my only 1B now.
I picked up Gabriel Arias (elig at 1B,3B,SS) for now but there ain’t much on the FA list except for dudes like Jake Bauers, Michael Toglia, Garrett Cooper, Austin Shenton, Gio Urshela, Owen Miller, etc.
He’s pretty bad — those guys on waivers are worse
Uhhh….ok. That helps maybe. :-)
haha
Lost Strider and Darvish in a 12 teamer. What do you think of R.Olson, J.Butto, Y.Ridriguez, T.Rogers, N.Nastrini?
I would try any of them, actually that order
Site working great this morning
Yeah, hopefully continues
12 team, 5×5 roto. 1250 Max IP. 1091 Remaining (+5)
Would you start or sit?
1) Luzardo @CHC ($19.9)
2) Keller v BOS ($12.9)
Start both
ok, either the site’s the fastest i’ve ever seen it or it’s tied for optimal as seen prior, loaded SON and TRON in like 1/10th or better the time yesterday.
this blurb here on benintendi, sometimes those rotoworld guys get this stuff right.
“Benintendi retroactively blamed a wrist injury for his poor showing last year. It’s possible the wrist injury has since spread throughout his body, which might explain why he has just one extra-base hit in 71 plate appearances this year. “
Site’s faster than Esteury rn
Maikel Garcia. Drop or hold in 12 team categories.
Nah, not yet
Are you trusting Eovaldi in Atl today??
No
Grey ! Happy weekend. And don’t sweat the spammers! We all know it’s just Big Pitching acting out, cuz they don’t like that Streamonator is the only trusted news source out there…
Big Pitching trying to bring us down!
Are you as optimistic as Son on Nick C? He’s just sitting there on the wire…
I am!
Thoughts on dropping Alexis Diaz for someone like Jason Foley, Kirby Yates, or James McCarthur?
McArthur
hey Grey, very concerned about Goldschmidt….he looks lost….I don’t love dropping him, but who would trade anything good for him. Hold and pray?
Trade him for whoever you can get? I’m worried too

1. Nico 2. No
Same offer of tickets for Luzardo… it depends where the seats are, right?
Yeah

Good Evening,
Would you rather own Kerry Carpenter or Amed Rosario? I am good on speed and power, just want the best overall production ROS.
In another league, I was thinking about dropping Turang for Luis Garcia Jr. (His statcast page looks like a breakout is coming)
Thanks for the late-night assistance!
Kerry and Garcia
ha! So 5/6 of my first picks were hitters and I’m getting smoked in hitting cats but crushing pitching. I’m thinking I drafted too many players who don’t like cold weather. Arozerena Oneal Cruz Heyes plus stott has not been hot and Seager has been meager! Frustration!!!! Shitwolf throws his phone! Being patient sucks! Hayes not having any hrs or sb is kinda the suck. Would u move on? Waivers are the buy guys Baty, Smith, Rendon (has been stealing holy) Miranda or do I just stay boring my friend. Blah!
Those guys feel like they’re gonna be boring too in a few days…kinda meh
r.palacios HR’d just lately. going into this game had a .789 OPS while batting lately in the 2, 3 or 5 hole. might start to get relevant in more than the 16-20’ers i’ve been adding him in for at least the last 3-4 days.
did not mean to post this twice, might mean the site is improving though
lol hope so
Yeah good call
almost brought him up here 3-4 days ago simply from “wow, he’s in the 3 hole there” his OPS wasn’t .789 then but it was at least .760 then. only done better since then. league sizes i’m talking anybody hitting 3rd some days at least is addable.
Yeah, true
up to .931 as we speak now (double too). site’s working much much better than prior, refresh doesn’t go through making sure i’m a human every time, messages go in a bit slow but getting better.
Hope so, site’s a mess

Haha yup
Buxton in a 14 team leaguer, I’m still holding…barely. But I’m sitting here wishing he actually would get hurt so I could just cut the cord. You dropping him for Friedl (back in 3 to 4 weeks), pages, Kepler, or Harold Ramirez? Options are slim. I’m guessing one of the first 2 and no sure thing I win the bid on pages

Also looking for help with CI. Sheets, Joe, Canha, Arias, Willi Castro, Josh H. Smith, Miranda, Joseph Ortiz, France or Wade over Candelario, India, Kelenic, or Leody Taveras?
Keeper league.
Jeffers over Reese
Sheets over Leody
Could O’hearn be having a late breakout similar to muncy or EE? Am I being too optimistic or reaching?
Maybe, besides the platooning
Btw, I finally got in to your site. I feel like that wasn’t supposed to happen. Now I’m waiting for a black van show to show up to take me away for interrogation. Lol
It’s been brutal today…sorry!
No worries. Always good to joke about it.
Thanks!
Can’t get on to my account or hittertron. It keeps verifying me. Not sure if anyone else is having trouble.
Would you recommend playing Lane Thomas v Verlandrr or Gurriel v Snell
Thank you!
Should let you thru once it verifies you’re a human — we put it up to stop spammers — Lourdes
For some reason, mine keeps cycling and then mostly goes to a 503 screen
Thanks for Lourdes
It’s been brutal today…sorry!
No worries. I got my question in and had to joke about it.
yr not the only one. anytime any of these are tried it’s needs to recheck identity on me too, log in, log out, open page, input message, any of it. i know from grey/rudy they always say the spammers is what causes the site to crash from time to time, so if it fixes that nonsense worst case everything takes a lot longer. get that error 503 or “can’t establish connection” a few times too, just backtrack and refresh it (for me) comes out of that eventually.
De La Cruz over Haniger at Colorado the next couple of games or over Pages? De La Cruz hit another HR today.
I can add De La Cruz and drop Turnbull but was going to drop him for Gavin Stone. Would you rather have Stone or De La Cruz? Who will provide the most value by the end of the season?
Drop Turnbull for DLC
@Grey: 12 team weekly roto redraft. Any of the these guys potentially more than just a streamer? Weathers, L Allen, Butto, H Brown and Butto?
Thanks!
All of them maybe…Brown, Allen, Butto prolly have most chance
oh my jebus, i wanted to videodrome my way into where the announcers for that STL @ OAK game 2 days ago early in the game when ruiz HR’s off matz, one of those twits literally said “OAK loves this guy he’s got (tools description inserted here yada yada)”. ok, the entire fantasy baseball community knows how much OAK “likes” ruiz, shut the F up idiot. all of us have to for their home games wait till like 7 pm eastern after most other games have started to even see IF he’ll be allowed to play. he’s currently their best OPS hitter too, probably by multiples. this is half the days they have games (besides today, where we didn’t get jerked around ONLY since they are on road at CLE)
Yeah
yuck, they canceled the @ COL game.
(-) question: 14 teamer OBP over AVG, hits and total bases added h2h, start 11 hitters per day, use 4th waiver or no dropping rafaela for g.sheets if i have this:
C: wong (hehehe, added day of his 2 HR binge before it, needed from ruiz)
1B: harper
2B: hoerner (SS, and wow, CUBS kinda quickly notices an over .370 OBP might maybe be moved up in lineup, what a genius that highest paid coach in MLB must be, only took him a week or so)
SS: bichette
3B: bohm (1B)
OF (3): stanton, yordan, nimmo
util (3): gimenez (2B), starving marte (OF), j.young (OF)
BN (large benches i have 11 SP/5 RP with this many): donovan (1B/2B/OF), d.jansen (C), rafaela (SS/OF)
IR: k.ruiz
NA (1): d.crews
Meh, don’t think it’s necessary
Hey Grey …best time of the week is Buys/Sells. I have 3 questions if you could give your advice please.
Gausman was dropped by some guy with an appropriate team name “Trumpians”. How much FAAB would you bid?? I have $947 left. I’d drop Wells
Would you rank the top 3 ROS for Winn, Ashcraft, Abbott, Wacha, & Marsh? Any of them worth picking up if Paddack or Wells (if I don’t get Gausman) is the drop?
Worth dropping Bo @ C to pick up Elias for his 6 home games @ Coors?
Thanks & have a great weekend!!
Thanks! $117 for Gaus
Sure, Wacha, Abbott, Ashcraft
No on C
Popping in to just say that lede and headline are some funny, funny schizz. Bravo. (And I’ll be tryint to replace Brendan Rodgers with Luis Garcia Jr. this weekend, right?)
Thanks!
Does this look like an 18-year old to you? He looks like Jose Ramirez’s uncle.
https://www.milb.com/player/jefferson-rojas-800473
Lol
Which would explain the 12% K-rate
Want to add Esteury but he’s not getting playing time yet. Think about adding either Fraley or Riley Greene and dropping conforto, thoughts? Also, thoughts on Butto this year?
Yes, Greene…I’d grab Butto
In a points league that dings -1 for Ks would you drop Outman or Kerry Carpenter for Arozarena or Castellanos? (Que Thom Brennaman’s “I made a comment earlier tonight” apology)
Yes, both
Having Esteury make the team, not playing him, demoting him, then promoting him and not playing him again
Is this (a) the dumbest imaginable sequence of events or (b) the most dumbestest imaginable sequence or events. I mean, we need to find ABs for Tyler Nevin right???
Ha, yeah
Yahoo H2H 12 team 5×5. Drop David Hamilton for Jesse Winker? (Util spot).
Yes
Hi Grey, do you risk starting Verlander today off the IL at Washington?
And do you prefer Tailion or Wacha going forward?
Loved the McArthur/MacArthur comment.
Sorry if this posts twice.
Thanks!
Sure
Wacha
Thanks!
Thanks!
No problem
Which side in a 6×6 average and OBP roto redraft –
Belli or CJ?
CJ
NL only keeper
all cheap $$
brenton doyle, iván herrera vs campusano, bryan de la cruz, joey ortiz
De La Cruz seems fair tho
Moncada
B. Rodgers
Baez
pick 2
Not Baez
NL only keeper
all cheap $$
brenton doyle, iván herrera vs campusano, de la cruz, joey ortiz
Grey
So if Logan T Allen is a streamer
Even if he has a good outing against Oakland would you drop him to stash Skenes
Willing to take a chance that he is called up sooner than later
10 team league I need pitching
Sounds fine
Varsho or o’hearn? It seems they both sit against lefty’s. O’Hearn has 3 next week and dalton has one.
Varsho
Thanks as always!
No problem
Hey now! Ke’Bryan Hayes got dropped in the ol’ h2h. Drop Julien for him? Would move Paredes to 2B and slot KBH at 3rd…
Meh
Or I could drop O’Hearn for him? Though I’ve only just picked him up and want to see what he can do haha. Or are we just not that in to KBH?
Makes sense
Makes sense to hold? Sorry – it’s early in the morning here lol
Makes sense to switch
Nico finally catching fire. Now please just start stealing!
Ha, yup!
Although hard to steal when your constantly just hitting doubles
Ha true
looks like Stott has not only dropped in the order but is also becoming a platoon player. He’s sitting today against a lefty. How much do we believe in him going forward? Just a rough April or maybe time to seriously rethink his output?
Rough April
Luis Garcia or Amed Rosario?
Garcia
Hi Grey. Would you sell high on Imanaga or hold and see if he’s really ace material? Kinda hard to judge his worth
Depends what you can get
Would you trade Berrios for Castillo?
Metrics like Castillo more but any concern there may be an injury incoming?
Sure
Any interest in the recently activated Taillon? Seems to be having his way, early with the Marlins.
Yeah, he looks good!
Ha, just really enjoy your writing style. Thanks
Thanks!
Grey – J. Merrill or Busch ROS?
Also – ROS rank for Merrill, J. Duran, Chourio, Casas. Thanks Grey!
Jackson, Casas, Duran
Busch
How do you adjust values for players in aategories leagues over Roto & Points?
I dont know what you’re asking JerryBabby
Top 2 of Suwinski, Fraley, O’Hearn, Winker or Velasquez?
Thank you.
You listed them
Garcia Jr or Thario Estrada?
League Set-Up
R
2B
HR
RBI
SB
AVG
OBP
Thairo
Drop kebryan for Garcia jr, o’hearn, fraley or Winker?
O’Hearn, kinda depends on needs tho
Drop Colt Keith for Garcia Jr?
Yup
Grey, sorry for the duplicate post. Had not checked my email for the buy list before now.
12 team H2H points league. -1 for K’s. McCormick has been horrible. Should I hold for a rebound? Pages is available. So is winker. Also, is CES a drop or should I hold for him to come around as well?
I’d go Winker
Oh and hold CES if those are your options
Thank you, Fraley is available as well woudl you take him over winker? Got Yelich on the DL so need some help in the outfield
I’d go Fraley
your the best thank you
No problem
Yo Grey!
Sorry for the double ask – instead of Nolan Jones and Steele for Logan Gilbert.
What about Nolan Jones for Tanner Bibbee?
Would you want to keep the original deal or is the Nolan for Tanner deal a good/better alternative?
Prefer Gilbert
HI Grey!
O’Hearn, Garcia,Jr, or Kirilloff ROS?
O’Hearn
Thanks!
No problem
Thanks grey! What about Seiya for Justin Turner?
Feels a bit low, but I guess since Seiya’s out for 4 weeks, at least
Jackson Holliday or Hoerner ROS? And would u deal senga for either plus yates?
Nico
I’d take Yates
Yo Grey!
was hoping on getting some advice on my team in a 12 Team 6×6 H2H redraft league with .OPS and QS
Bats are: O’Hoppe, Harper, Paredes, Steer, Pena, Naylor, Yordan, Nolan Jones, Jackson Merrill, Jarren Duran, Bryson Stott, Vaugh Grissom
Arms are: Freddy Peralta, Jesus Luzardo, Mitch Keller, Mackenzie Gore, Dane Dunning, Seth Lugo, Justin Steele, Kyle Bradish, Braxton Garrett
I am worried about Nolan Jones’ performance, especially his strikeout %. out of the three options below, what sounds like the best option for my team
Option A) Nolan Jones and Justin Steele for Logan Gilbert
Option B) Nolan Jones and Kyle Bradish for Grayson Rodriguez and CES
Option C) No Trade
Additionally – any worry about Luzardo?
Yes, I’m worried about Jones — A sounds fine, B feels a little low but could work out
Yes, I’m worried about Luzardo
Thanks! Sounds like A is the move relative to B and C.
If I swap Steele for luzardo in A is that preferable?
As for B, I don’t like CES and can push for Westburg does that help?
Not preferable
It’s same
Thanks! I’ll just hope for the best with luzardo.
Glad to get Jones off my team. I wanted Logan but got drafted pick before me
No problem
