Did everyone enjoy the All-Star Game? Wait, that’s not for another month? Why was there only three games yesterday then? Was it a holiday? RobManberance Day? A national day of remembrance about how Rob Manfred is an idiot? Stop for a moment, lower your head and silently remember to yourself how stupid Rob Manfred is. A Boob Manfraud, forever amen. So, with so few games, we get to really dive in on Jackson Kowar‘s debut. Man, did he suck (2/3 IP, 4 ER). I kid. But not entirely. Jackson was too jacked up. It happens. He couldn’t throw anything for a strike, due to adrenaline. Easy 97 MPH fastball, and a nasty change, that either was four feet over the batter’s head, or dead-center in the strike zone. Prospect Itch texted me some extra info, “Curve is more 50 than plus, but it still helps him a lot. It’ll come down to fastball command, which was there for him this year in the minors, just not last night, obviously. Think he could be successful on the rookie arm spectrum.” Then I texted, “Right, so Shane McClanahan, i.e., terrible or great or both, like every rookie pitcher?” And he texted back, “Yeah, McClanahan-ish.” Then I texted, “Glad we were able to do this without you threatening me.” Then he texted, “I’ve been using this exchange for GPS tracking, and I’m outside your home.” Then I typed random letters, so he’d see “…” which gave me time to escape out the back of my house. For what it’s Cronenworth, the Prospectonator (that projects every rookie) hates Kowar, and I see him mostly as a streamer in shallower leagues, so Streamonator. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Jorge Soler – 1-for-3 and his 5th homer. I could’ve did a batty call yesterday with anyone. They were all out there. Nicky Lopez, who sounds like a member of an all-girl rock and roll band; Kelvin Gutierrez, who is hot, hot, hot in temperature; Michael A. Taylor, who is so modest he doesn’t need to be The Taylor, just A. Taylor. How’sever, I did a batty call with George “What An Effer” Sun. Now my home runs are movin’ on up in the home run category. You honestly don’t think I can BS for 2000 words about three games, and you are so sorely mistaken. Any hoo! George Sun might be starting to get hot.
Hunter Strickland – DFA’d, after putting together an ERA of 9.95 on the Angels. Damn, he was knocking on the door of a good season.
Dylan Bundy – 5 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 2 Ks, ERA at 6.16. During the 2nd inning of this game, Cougs was like, “Why do you keep screaming ‘Dylan Bundy sucks, how dare you fail me, Jackson Kowar?'” And I didn’t have a great answer for her.
Max Stassi – 3-for-4, 3 runs, 3 RBIs and his 3rd homer. That’s right, folx. Three hits, three runs, three RBIs and his 3rd homer. Take yourself to BundeSchnitzel Casino and Wax Museum of Sausage and put it all on three, Stassi.
Adbert Alzolay – 3 IP, 4 ER, 10 baserunners (5 BBs), 4 Ks, ERA at 4.06, as he exited with a blister on his middle finger. That’s a big ol’ middle finger to the weekly teams where I started him for a two-start week, that will likely be one terrible start now.
Ian Happ – 1-for-3 and his 7th homer, hitting .193. Nice to see him return from that collision with Nico Hoerner. *intern whispers in ear* That happened more than a month ago? What has Ian Happ done since? Oh, I see.
Ryan Weathers – 5 IP, 3 ER, 6 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 2.44. I used to say his dad looked like Tackleberry, and he looks like his dad. Well, he didn’t think so.
How can he be 21 while also starring as Tackleberry in the 80s Police Academy films? pic.twitter.com/NaO7f8qOHn
— Razzball (@Razzball) December 17, 2020
i think you have the wrong guy. he looks more like @d49weather https://t.co/V0Y9WWDYv3
— Ryan Weathers (@RyanDWeathers25) December 17, 2020
Brian O’Grady – 2-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 1st homer, hitting .167. Finally, the Padres get some production from their right fielder. Yes, that is me farting towards Wil Myers.
Manny Machado – 2-for-3, 3 RBIs and his 8th homer, hitting .239. If he would’ve done this last year in the 60 games, he would’ve been drafted when this year? Around 40? 50? Do I hear 75?
Pablo Lopez – Pushed back from his start in Fenway, to start at home vs. the Rockies. That is literally the first time a pitcher has been pushed back that caused me to dance like the end of the movie, Another Round. Great movie, by the by. It’s on Hulu, if you know you know. If you don’t know, you might think that’s watching Netflix while hula hooping.
Starling Marte – 3-for-4 and a slam (4) and legs (5), hitting .322. Seems okay, but I like the other Marte! No, not Damaso, silly!
J.D. Martinez – Out three straight games with a wrist injury. Wonder if it hurts him when making the universal sign for ‘jerk off.’ I’m just a curious little cat!
Chris Sale – Likely to throw with hitters in the box this week, which puts him on pace for a late-June rehab assignment for a few weeks, and a just-after-the-All-Star-Break return, assuming no setbacks, and everyone keeps the scissors away from him.
Nick Pivetta – 4 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 10 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.78. Streamonator hates his next one, and I’m not sure the Streamonator will ever like him, and neither will I. Hey, me and Streamonator are BFFs!
Scott Kingery – Cleared waivers and has decided to stay in the minors. He feels like the kind of guy who needs a change of scenery. What are the Brewers doing with JBJ and the rest of their dreck? Grab Kingery and let’s light the world aflame! Or at least let Kingery hit .210 for a new team.
Byron Buxton – Will begin a rehab assignment. His assignment is not to get hurt during rehab games.
Kenta Maeda – Will begin a rehab assignment on Wednesday. I’d guess one rehab start, then back next Monday, but I guess it will depend on how well it goes, and if his groin holds up (his pants).
Keston Hiura – Optioned back to the minors. There’s dumber managers and front offices, but Brewers are up there with the cream of the crap for the dumbest. Do they even know what a strikeout rate is? Adam Frazier is just sitting out there on the Pirates, and the Brewers can prolly have him for nothing. Though, now that I think about it; it will make for an interesting trade between the Pirates and Brewers, two teams not known for getting the better end of a deal. “We want Frazier, and we’ll give you anything?” “Anything?” “Yes.” The Pirates discuss it with themselves then, “Corbin Burnes?” “Sure–” The Pirates quickly reconsider, “Actually, we want Vogelbach.”
Jarred Kelenic – Sent back to the minors. Okay, to be fair, Kelenic’s focus in the minors last time was defense.
5×5, mixed roto…keep forever league, we can keep up to 5 guys.
I was offered:
my Tatis for his Woodruff, K. Jansen and Bogarts
My other top guys to keep going forward are: machado, albies, story, olson, giolito
I need pitching to make a run at winning this year.
I have to be crazy for even considering this deal, right?
Living the life of Riley!
Please rank:
Tapia, Moran, chapman
12 team 5×5. drop upton or l.gurriel first, gurriel’s 2B/OF (yahoo) is useful for backup at numerous spots for off days on others. upton obtained just lately (clearly goes cold the sec i add him, kidding 1 game yesterday very small sample to even think something like that). i got story back shortly.
Pollock or Happ?
ok, a.wood stop getting those double plays, some of those should’ve been K’s, it’s TEX here.
Ha, greedy!
ok, well if the BB’s went up i’ll take the double plays (i knew this might be coming when i typed the above). still though, get some K’s.
Drop Moustakas for India?
And I need a little SP help,
Santander for Heaney?!
THANKS
Yes
No
minor or kaprelian in AL only QS over wins? if we’re worried about kaprelian’s innings this becomes a thing for sure. somebody dropped kap to get kowar (which is hilarious, i balked at dropping minor for him when i could’ve). i’ve had minor 3 times already. he’s boring of course, but we know he’ll get innings at least and plays in good park. K rate is fine. 10 teamer h2h. keep 3 at previous season’s end of season ADP prices (yuck that i finally stopped keeping vlad after keeping him at quite cheap prices for like 2-3 years, this year he would’ve been a 3rd rounder, then drafted the so far complete yuck rendon right after vlad went, not as if i could’ve drafted vlad back where he went, as i would’ve. this wasn’t me going left field here, rankings both you and rudy supported vlad being worth less than ADP costs, and i kept bieber (1st) but also huge value arozarena (last rounder) and somebody else at great price (lou bob, 5th or so i think))
kaprelian
Would you cut Gallen to be able to roster Brujan? Thanks. It is keeper league. I have Gallen for one more year and Brujan for two—if I want them. Thanks.
Sure
What’s up man? Got a few for you.. 1-does Ozuna play again this season?
2-Is Maeda worth the hold?
3- ROS? Kirilloff/Vaughn
4-ROS? Hoerner/Miguel Rojas
1. No
2. Meh, maybe depends on league
3. Kirilloff
4. Hoerner
I have Machado, Alonso, Abreu and KeBryan currently but need help in the OF and with my pitching staff in a 12-team 5×5 redraft.
What are some good targets for KeBryan – assuming he’s the one you’d trade?
Would Max Muncy be fair?
Or Ryu?
Thanks. Here’s my team:
McCann
Kelly
J. Abreu
B. Lowe
V. Brujan(R)
M. Machado
F. Lindor
T. Anderson
P. Alonso
K. Hayes(R)
R. Tapia
T. Hernandez
K. Schwarber
T. Grisham
I. Happ(R)
T. Story
L. Lynn
S. Gray
M. Stroman
S. Manaea
C. Bassitt
R. Iglesias
R. Rodriguez
J. Romano
Y. Kikuchi
J. Means(R)
I’d take Muncy — maybe Verdugo?
Thanks
No problem
This is what you say when you definitely are using foreign substances, straight out of the corporate PR playbook: https://www.mlb.com/news/gerrit-cole-responds-to-remark-about-his-spin-rate
Ha, yeah
it’s what he should say, not like bauer who screams on social media about everybody else doing this stuff while clearly…. himself. either let them use whatever they want OR completely police it (including checking gloves for everybody about to pitch). of course manfred’s tenure would indicate nothing to the effect of MLB being able to do that 2nd one in any kind of proper way (plus my lord the speed of the game would be slowed, can’t have that right manfred). they’ve never policed it before for over 100 years so this would be quite a change all at once.
remember this is the same league that input NO penalties on HOU’s multi year cheating deal at all on those that did it (the players). MLBPA stood right on behind the rights of their players to not get penalized for it, no matter what some players screamed about on social media. and unlike some sticky stuff put on balls by literal thousands of pitchers for over 100 years (high dozens into hundred(s) with newer substances and less years obv), pretty sure the HOU stuff was something only HOU got away with.
After benching him, I suppose I should be pleased to see Houser going well (gritted teeth emoji)
he had been turned into bulk RP lately too, last start day he came in after somebody else.
Haha, yeah, better than alternative
And spared the annoyance of him being pulled 2 outs short of a QS. Silver linings!
Haha, there ya go!
Don’t bench him against the pirates!
No way!
How bad did Sonny look?
Not great leaving mid game…my guess is back
i’m seeing/reading upper leg into groin, i’ll take that over arm/shoulder/back. i don’t need that stuff in like 4 spots.
Ugh
i get what i deserve for adding m.perez as if him being somebody else for over a month str would mean anything going forward on him. obv this is for a deep league where i lost turnbull and means lately and has 72 max innings a week (we do have 6 RP though).
His stats did look good, sorry
yes they did, and i waited till the sample seemed pretty large (pretty sure over a month, and yes i know HOU is good, but he breezed through other good hitting teams over that month+ too). i guess i can finally activate grin and lamet, who’s innings are finally making him useful.
of course i also gambled and kept brubaker in league where holding him (16 team dynasty, like 1800 max innings roto) means i can’t activate lugo (holds there) and can’t drop s.brown (one BN bat) nor couldn’t replace gomes (missed at least 5 games, albeit only like t.murphy in FA worth adding over him at most really), and started him vs LAD. doesn’t seem fair that PIT has to even play the LAD really.
Yeah, haha
Hayes missed 1st base!
I saw, ridiculous
Tell your son to button his top button!
Need a start to replace Adbert (points league)
Eflin vs ATL
Davidson @ PHI
Gilbert @ CLE
Yarborough vs BAL
Yarbrough
Grey,
With Kelenic down, who should I add out of:
-McCutchen
-Soler
-Happ
-Lowe
-Villar
-Margot
-Adames
-Upton
-Duvall
-Ames R
-Grossman
-Galvis
-Renfroe
-Profar
-Dom Smith
-Kirilloff
Thanks!
Or Brujan?
Needs? Dom’s been decent, but a lot of these guys have
I needs to win!
I needs a guy who can be a stopgap until Springer arises to tear it up.
All seriousness, speed and power.
Dom? Sad that Upton’s looking like the best option, but don’t trust that. Brujan has upside but when is he coming up?
Thanks for l’assistance!
I like Brujan if you can sit on him
Might as well. I’m riding an average of 6 IL players with 4 IL spots open in both leagues. I’m conditioned for quality over quantity.
I know every year feels like a shitty IL year but this one’s gotta be the worst.
God bless you, Grey, and all that you do and spew.
Ha, No problem
The Frivolities section at Baseball Reference has becomne one of my favourite places on the internet. It’s Eddie Gadael’s birthday today! (or it would have been)
Would be only right if Altuve hits a home run.
Apologies to Eddie – it’s *Gaedel*
Hahaha, feels like a trivia tidbit from Ante
Yikes, don’t want to stray into another man’s territory!
Haha
I traded away Kiriloff for Brujan. How did I do?
Nice!
if dynasty this is great. obv the longer brujan isn’t up the worse it is for redraft
Grey,
Would you drop Avasail garcia to activate Michael Brantley of IL?
or odubel Herrera?
I’d lose Odubel first
ok drop odubel first
Cool
Sure
Soto or Treat Urner ROS and in a keeper league. Thanks!
Soto
Since when do managers have a say in what organizational players are on their roster? Thought that was management’s decision.
Cora’s comments on Duran (that he’s stuck in the minors for the forseeable future) seem like his opinion rather than reality.
Didn’t see the comments you’re talking about
Gotcha, Cora’s comments on Duran were in yesterday’s Boston Herald – summarized on espn fantasy app
Basically threw cold water on the idea of a Duran callup any time soon, despite the team’s obvious need.
Damn, first I’m hearing it
Just manager speak. Wouldnt put any weight behind it. Im pretty sure Duran will be up before “two years” which is was part of Cora’s quote….
Yeah, prolly
they don’t, but it’s possible BOS’s master villan manager knows what the GM is going to do also. clearly sometimes what they say is just claptrap, like KC people saying witt would be up back in march and everybody just willy nilly believed the manager saying it even when witt never played more than like 60 at bats at single A (and i think it was low A too). a bunch of people drafted witt pretty high in redrafts, which was hilarious to me during the entire draft season.
Yeah Witt would be shocking this year before Sept
Looks like Cavan Biggio is going to come back within the next week after a few rehab games. Coin flip between Dylan Moore and Cavan Biggio?
Yeah, more or less…
Oh great Grey,
when Vidal arrives, would you drop Cronenworth for him?
Yeah
How confident do you feel brujan is up in the next 2 weeks?
Not confident at all…But it “should” happen
Hello Grey,
Aguilar vs Senzatela
or
Mancini vs Peterson
H2H 6×6 OPS
Thanks
Mancini, tough call
Thanks Grey, as always. Trade proposal in 16-team Ops keeper. I’m contending and tied for best record, but just lost Flaherty for a chunk of time.
I give Carlson, Luciano, and Devin Williams
I get Woodruff (or Burnes) and Boxberger
Fair? You prefer woody or burnes?
Other starters are Wheeler, Gausman, Peralta, Morton, and Manoah, with Flaherty and Kluber (IL)
Works for me…Prefer Burnes, but either
In a h2h yahoo points league which side would you rather have Eflin or Brandon Lowe. If i move Lowe i need to grab a 2nd baseman to stopgap until Mondesi comes back so i can shift Jazz to the 2B
Eflin, it’s fair, sounds like you need Lowe more
Yeah he wanted either Lowe, Jazz or Springer and i wasnt doing either of them
Another – going to have to drop one of the following to activate Story:
Odubel
Johnny Schoop
India
McCutchen
Thanks
Odubel or Andrew, depends on needs
Are you viewing Story, once he returns, as a sell or hold as the deadline approaches in keeper leagues?
Gracias Senor!
Depends on the deal, but I don’t necessarily see his value falling dramatically if he’s traded…I’d love him on the Yankees, for instance
Adolis for Brujan in a keeper league, which side?
Tough call, I think prolly Brujan
How about Kiriloff instead of Adolis?
Adolis
Complete madness to start Houser @CIN even in a 14 teamer? SON absolutely HATES it (0.10 QS rating!) but Joey Bart seemed kinda positive in his streamers column…
I have to say I’ve defied the SON a couple of times a couple of times lately and come out with great starts but this might be a bridge too far…
Seems kinda crazy
I’m waiting to see how he does and then maybe pic3h him up for next start vs Pit
Yeah, that’s really the one I grabbed him for. I’ve been trying to talk myself into starting him today but I can’t!
Belt,Schoop or Votto for first baseman?
Any word on Laureano return?
Thank you and hilarious write up. I
Schoop
Haven’t heard, sorry
No problem
Grey
I am pretty sure I know the answer to this but here goes
Would you drop any of the following to activate Votto or just drop Votto
Matt Chapman
Schoop
Wisdom
Thanks
I’d drop Votto, but I guess depends on needs and could see losing Chapman
that’s pretty much what I figured
Chapman is on a short leash though
Thanks for the help
No problem
Don’t understand why Baker keeps batting Tucker 7th behind Yuli, Brantley, Correa and even Yordan. He’s a five tool player who has better metrics than anyone in the lineup. Proved himself last year and has improved this year.
Bc Dusty is old school (no idea what that means either)
Or maybe he’s just old
Would you drop Lux or Eugenio for Brujan assuming he is up by next week or is that too risky? Thanks.
Lux
So you think Brujan up by next week?
He should be up this week
Fantasy Master Lothario, should I start
Villar vs. Bruce Zimmerman
or
Josh Rojas vs. Chris Bassitt
Rojas
Really coin flipping here
Semien or ketel marte? Keeper league
Ketel
Who Between Semien and Ketel in a 5×5 roto redraft ROS?
Ketel
Just a week or so ago you take Semien between these two based on previous posts. Curious, what changed?
Meh, it’s close, Ketel’s back, healthy and hitting — talking about one guy who’s around 45th overall and another who’s 50th
Should I play robbie ray, and michael pineda today? Pineda is off the IL and his last start was bad, but that was most likely because of his injury, the start before that was pretty good. And robbie ray is really good now… right? For some reason even though he has done more than enough to establish himself as a solid strikeout pitcher who has improved his era, is he really a changed man?
Guess start both, no idea of their matchups
I’m curious why you always say that you don’t know their matchups. Surely you have easy access to opposing pitchers and daily lineups? Both are readily available for free around the internets.
Yeah, I don’t have them in front of me 24/7
I wouldn’t use any of those links either — I have them if I want on https://razzball.com/streamers/
It’s wild that people expect me to cross reference every single comment for matchups — like you seriously expect that?
Or should I memorize every matchup to help people?
Perhaps we should just give away all of our subscriber info for free — the stuff that is priced at roughly one dollar per week
How about when I’m answering on my phone while waiting for my lunch to come — should I have the matchups open on my phone while answering?
Hahah
Damn you got salty…
Rare but highly entertaining
No, I don’t. I figured it was a comment workload thing. Anyone who has played fantasy baseball for even a short amount of time should be able to look up lineups and matchups on their own.
Cmon man, have some respect for the people you want something from for free.
Will,
I just looked up tonight’s line-ups. It has you leading off for Team Ass.
What Bish said ^^^
What Pinkman said ^^^
What Grey said ^^^
And what I say is that it’s not really hard to figure out that when you ask about SP you just mention the opponent and whether or not they are home or away. Most of us also give the SoN dollar value for the matchup. I kind of have the feeling Will is the kind of person who goes into a restaurant and seats himself if it’s a place with a host/hostess or waits around forever at the door if it’s a place where you seat yourself.
Think Wheeler’s success is sustainable, could try to give my T Rogers and Manoah for him?
I’d take Wheeler
Please rank in a roto 12 team obp league

How about this? They’d be headed to the playoffs in first if this was last year
The Giants are now the A’s with money and a stadium
They have money? Why don’t they use it?
They’re letting Johnny Cueto use it.
HAHA, that’s one approach
6×6 (OBP & QS) Redraft league. Need to improve my SP staff/ add some streamers.
My Roster:
C: Vazquez
1B: Alonso
2B: Schoop
3B: J. Ramirez
SS: A. Rosario
OF: Pham, Adolis, Hampson
UTL: Sano, Lowe
BN: Kirilloff, Bohm
SP: Castillo, Ryu , T. Rogers , Means, Morton, T. Walker
RP: Diaz, DickRod, A. Reyes, Romano
IL: Means, Conforto, Grisham, Story
Who of the below gets cut to stream:
– Bohm
– Kirilloff
Also, you holding Romano or can he be cut too?
thanks again (again)
I like Romano — Kirilloff can be cut
Thank you as always.
and fwiw this league has a dumb rule of only being able to start 3 “RP’s”, so I’ve been trying to swap in/out Romano when I can. Wasn’t sure if he was worth doing that vs. another SP, but I’ll hold onto him for not.
No problem — yeah, hold
Unrelated to your question, I wish you the best of luck as a fellow luis Castillo and hyun jin ryu drafter, were struggling now but trust me, those too will return to their former glory and our pitching will rise to the occasion.
Gavin Lux or Brujan as keeper and this year?
Biggio or Amed Rosario? If Amed, what the hell happened to Biggio?
Thanks and great write up.
Brujan — biggio in a keeper
Picked up india and dropped rosario, is that a mistake? Also schoop: fluke or not? I have schoop and dropped rosario for india but rosario is on a big hot streak
Sounds fine…Schoop is hot, it happens
who would be better rest of the season.. Nelson Cruz or Paul Goldschmidt?
Cruz
I have a question regarding whether I should play someone today instead of someone else on my lineup, specifically outfield. The player in question is amed rosario (playing against Carlos martinez who had a incomprehensibly bad last outing 10 ER IN 0.2 INNINGS) that as well as Rosario’s relatively strong hot streak makes my decision a little tough because my opponent is tough and I dont want to pick the wrong guy. Here are my outfielders currently in my lineup: Cavan Biggio (expected of the IL today) mark canha, josh Rojas, adolis garcia, hunter renfroe, odubel Herrera, and kebryan hays in my utility many of them are on hot streaks comparable to rosario and some (like adolis) could just randomly get me homeruns or something. It would be really helpful if you could consider the opponents of these players’ teams, and what you would expect them to do. If amed rosario is reasonably expected to do better than any of these please let me know.
I could also put rosario in trevor story’s spot if he doesn’t come back as expected
Story’s not back according to others in the comments
He’s not in the lineup today but that doesn’t mean anything when we’re talking about Bud Black. Watch this page to see when/if he gets activated:
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/transactions/#month=6&year=2021&team_id=115
True
I don’t know anyone’s matchup…probably Rosario over Biggio
Story NOT back tonight
12 team AL only 4×4 wins saves era and whip. Please rank Berrios, evoldi, Framber and Manea. Thanks
Berrios, Framber, Manaea
$30 difference between Berrios and Framber with Berrios being more expensive. I am think there isn’t enough difference to spend the extra$$ do you agree? Thanks
Agree
“…Wacko on JacKo” Magnificent copy!
Deep keeper OBP+QS league, pick a side if you please:
I get: Bichette ($37), Carlos Santana ($5), Pivetta (not keeper)
I give: Mize, Walsh, Carlson (all $5) and Mahle ($18)
Bo would be a big upgrade over my current Goodrum+De Jong combo. Want to sell high on Mize before innings capped. Carlson feels like a perfectly *fine* #3/4 OF. Walsh is great but balanced by getting Santana in OBP isn’t much of a downgrade.
Titles are Rudy… Bichette side
Ah right, I recall you saying that at one point. If I could go from an advertising copywriter to a fantasy sports headline copywriter…I probably wouldn’t be asking you asinine trade questions.
Thanks as always Grey!
Haha, No problem
Grey, 10 Team 5×5 Keeper League.
Drop C. Kelly for J. McCann ROS?
Have ODB and Vaughn. Would you drop either for P. Wisdom, J. Upton, B. Nimmo (IL), J. McNeil (IL)?
Sure, McCann — yes Wisdom and Upton

Hi Grey!
How does the Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer calculate the value of a closer?
I am looking at the value for Hector Neris, Ian Kennedy, Ian Kennedy, Daniel Bard and Aroldis Chapman to try to figure out why how their values calculated.
Question for Rudy, just ask at the bottom of the analyzer
Trade offers keep coming…..
ESPN points, ROS
Bundy or McClanahan
Thanks
Shane
My my, has Mr Bundy fallen!
Doesn’t he have a 6+ ERA?
Yup….I just keep reading how his “peripherals” are still good and waiting for a bounce back (which may never come)
As always, Thanks for your advice, much appreciated!
Yeah, he shouldn’t be this bad, but he has been
Who’s the drop among Cobb, Irvin and Bundy?
Prolly Bundy, but I think I’d lose Cobb 1st
What’s up Grey?
Currently have too many bats and all are too good to drop in a 12 team. Looking to move one of my 3B. How would you rank Moncada, Austin Riley, and Kebryan hayes ROS?
You ranked them
Thanks Grey!
No problem

Also, you trusting Framber’s start today @ BOS?
Also 2, would you drop Bohm to gain a stream/ spot starter? (not ideal, but best available for tomorrow/ Thu is Patrick Corbin)
thanks as always!!
Has it been a year already?
Story’s back today
I’d start Framber anywhere until further notice
Sure, can lose Bohm
