In the spring of 2018, the Catholic Church summoned Father Carmen Sandiego to the Vatican to give him the job to investigate miracles, supernatural signs and apparitions. Unfortunately, Father Carmen Sandiego, who wasn’t very good with his GPS, got lost for four days in the Steven Avery car lot in Wisconsin, then ended up in Milwaukee. When he wandered into the parking lot of Miller Park, and Brewers fans tailgating with MGD and cheese curds, everywhere Father Carmen Sandiego turned he heard about the resurrected Jesus Aguilar, so he chose to investigate. He found a player who had lowered his strikeout rate 8% from last year, upped his walk rate, cut his soft contact and could be a sneaky 25-homer, .275 guy. Jesus didn’t appear to him in a vision, he was flesh and blood, like the Lenny & Squiggy cosplayers he also encountered. However, Father Carmen Sandiego didn’t report back to the Vatican, instead he grabbed Jesus for his fantasy team. Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
BUY
Tucker Barnhart – He reminds me of this show I saw once in Tijuana, except the performer’s name was *ucker Barnhard.
Miguel Rojas – I always say, “Work for yourself, even if your boss is a doofus.” By that logic, Rojas is working for himself.
John Hicks – Everywhere I look Hicks has catcher eligibility, except where I need it, in my NFBC league, any Russians out there that could hack a fix?
Greg Bird – Half of me wants to mention Bird because I know there will be at least a dozen people who ask about him. Half of me wanted to leave him off because of those same dozen people. Unfortunately, my two halves can’t agree to come together. Where the hell is that magician who split me?
Mitch Moreland – You prolly heard the news today…oh, boy. Hanley was DFA’d. I’ve said this before, but insouciance doesn’t age well. It happened with Manny Ramirez; it happened with Andruw Jones; Hanley Ramirez is the latest victim. When you don’t care, eventually others stop caring. Moreland will now be on the strong side of a 1st base platoon, and should have an increase in value. He’s still a 22-homer, .255 guy, and that doesn’t change.
Ronald Guzman – *pays a sherpa in yaks, follows sherpa to top of Mt. Everest, blows on a vuvuzela* That’s me signaling Guzman is a hot schmotato. What other ‘pert goes to such effort to tell you a player is hot?
Josh Harrison – Jo-Ha has, of course, taken over the leadoff role again in Pittsburgh, and I went into earlier this week why that annoys me. By the by, Jo-Ha sounds like someone who would hang out with Ma Anand Sheela.
Daniel Robertson – There was a Launch Angle seminar at a Best Western in Parsippany, NJ this offseason with the guest speaker, Dwayne Murphy. If you looked in the back row, Robertson was there scribbling into his spiral notebook.
Dustin Pedroia – See what I wrote for Greg Bird, or two inches above, or the height of Pedroia.
Brandon Crawford – I almost made Crawford the lede this week, but Father Carmen Sandiego searching for Brandon Crawford is just ridiculous.
Austin Meadows – Some guys I’m heavily invested in to do well and get playing time, I have one share of Meadows, but it’s not imperative to that team that he performs. Yet — again with some stank — YET, I really want Meadows to succeed. Also, I gave you my Austin Meadows fantasy. It was written surrounded by walruses.
Tyler O’Neill – Already gave you my Tyler O’Neill fantasy. It had far too many typos to mention.
Travis Jankowski – If you want to know about Travis “Janky” Jankowski, simply search the site, a good seven of our writers have talked about him in the last week. Beginning to think some of these people would prefer to be writing for Jankyball.com. I can make it happen!
Gerardo Parra – This is a strictly Hitter-Tron call, like the call it makes to Pep Boys and asks them to put on a muffler so it can talk dirty.
Mac Williamson – He returns from a Gallagher on the melon, but he does have a lot of power, and could be worth owning in all leagues. And, thankfully, he doesn’t spell his name Will.i.amson.
Aaron Hicks – Hey, it’s John Hicks’ brother from another mother and father who happens to have the same last name. Say hello to your unrelated mother for me!
Blake Parker – Still can’t say yet it’s Parker’s job in the city of Anaheim that is not really close to Los Angeles unless you’re taking a helicopter. Justin Anderson is still in the mix.
Jared Hughes – Ja-Hu, the Damaja, will fill-in for the injured Raisel (until Riggleman uses David Hernandez or someone else randomly).
Ryan Tepera – Tyler Clippard nearly died for the W the other day. So handclap emoji great handclap emoji for handclap emoji him, but handclap emoji he handclap emoji still handclap emoji looked handclap emoji awful. Tepera may be the next to be battered. Panko, snitches!
Nate Jones – As soon as I say Jones is the de facto closer for the White Sox, I Google if ‘de facto’ means what I think it does.
Alex Reyes – A bit surprised that he’s not owned yet in 50% of leagues, have that many people moved onto fantasy football already. (clickbait!)
Wade LeBlanc – Second week in a row the Stream-o-Nator has picked LeBlanc as a streamer. I think the lonely robot thinks suggesting LeBlanc will get it a shot at hanging out at Central Perk.
Daniel Mengden – Rudy grabbed Mengden this week in one league, I believe for Mengden’s streaming possibilities. The Stream-o-Nator agrees, as it also agrees with standing in extra long lines at grocery stores so it can chitchat.
SELL
Jean Segura – This sell hurts me soul, Lupe Fiasco, because I own Segura, but, according to our Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell Tool, he’s a sell. Sigh. Why can’t I have anything nice, which is also what I want it to say on my tombstone. Kidding, of course. On my tombstone, I want it to read, “I told you I was sick.” Let’s see why the Buysellatops, the Fantasy Baseball dinosaur, maybe saying to sell him. His average will come down, he’s hitting for no power, not really blazing speed on the base paths, the M’s are depleted and he’s a 11/24/.275 guy in the big picture. I would look at fair trades on the Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer, but I would not sell Segura for a free entry into a shrimp tail tossing contest vs. a Benihana chef.
SON likes Ryne Stanek – will he even go 4innings?
I doubt it
Standard Roto Keeper league
I have room for one guy with no particular category need.
Nimmo, Mac or Parra?
Thanks.
Mac
Start Keuchel (@CLE), Corbin (@OAK), neither or both tonight ?
Corbin
Parker or Jones?
Jones
Williamson everyday OF per his manager… steal of May
Nice!
Glad to see Segura is a sell after drafting Buxton ahead of him!
10 team roto and my rotation is: Pivetta, CY Young Kluber, Cmart, Corbin, Newcomb, Castillo
Who goes when Cmart returns?
ALSO – big rap day. Pusha T and Asap. I’m lukewarm on Asap, with Ralph on his Kanye hate but I have to say, the production on Pusha T is FIRE! Have you listened to either?
Thanks Grey!
Not saying I’d take Buxton for him, tho…. Prolly in 10-14 days for C-Mart — I love Pusha, Asap’s just aight

@J-Hova:
CY young Bauer I mean…
Greatt work as usua!
Gallo or Acuna for Archer? Or neither? We count OPS and QS.
Thanks! Gallo
Would you cut soler for nimmo in an obp league?
Sure
12 team 5×5 mlb roto: Finally bailing on Lowrie. Meadows, Jankowski, Franchy and O’Neill are available in my league. Your preference, particularly for a team looking for SB’s.
Also, any thoughts on McMahon?? Second half sleeper??
Did McMahon get promoted? He’s irrelevant in a 12 teamer until he hits… Meadows for Lowrie
Grey,
Love your articles, thanks for your amazing work on here. Would you drop Souza Jr, Hanson or Jimenez for Rojas or hold tight?
Thanks! Jose Jimenez
Say it ain’t so Grey, Segura has been da man…
The Friday “sells” have some of your best lines ever from this site. But the last two weeks have been even higher levels of spectacularly hilarious (and ruined my computer screens due to coffee being spit at them). My middle-aged Caucasian abs are a bit stronger thanks to these…
“… I would not sell Segura for a free entry into a shrimp tail tossing contest vs. a Benihana chef”
“I would not trade him (Yelich) for the opportunity to use a urinal next to R. Kelly, but I would explore options.”
Will Dan Pants be back this weekend?
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!
Thanks! I hope Pants is back, he had a prior engagement last week…
Great Write up!
Need some help. I have Marte, Reyes and Britton all coming back.
12 team daily league. QS, Holds, Saves
Current staff: Snell, Darvish, Weaver, Buehler, Flaherty, Taillon, Hader, Minter, Seranthony Dominguez, Kela, Box, Osuna.
1. If I can’t make a trade which 2 players would you cut when Marte and Reyes are activated in the coming days?
2. Would you trade Osuna, Taillon and Chris Taylor for Cody Allen?
Thanks and have a great weekend
1. Minter, Osuna 2. Sure
I think you missed a nice buy candidate… Carlos Rodon, hes expected back early June.
Also, what is with SON saying that Tyler O’neil is trash? Ralph signed off on him as a my guy, you have him as a buy. I could use some clarification on this.
On the final note, I cant believe your consistency, you nick name should be Cal Ripken Jr. And then people could even abbreviate it…
You’re the man Grey!! Keep it up!!
Thanks! Rodon is a trash… SON never calls O’Neill trash, SON doesn’t project hitters
@Grey: wait what? He says hes trash here.. https://razzball.com/one-mans-trash-nick-pi-vetta/
@Grey: Why are you so wuick to trash Rodon?? 6-3 235 lefty, at the age of 25. Showed flashes of dominance last year and looks good in minor league rehab. I like him more than some of that other hot garbage out there…
He could be all right, was too harsh…. But I don’t trust him at all, gets wild, and kills you at times… You’re right, he has moments and there’s worse trash
@Grey: not to mention he’s always hurt. Been WHIP’d too many times by him
Yup
Grey
Would you drop Olson for Moreland or Buxton?
Bux
Grey,
10 Team Keeper 5X5 OBP
Thinking of adding Greg Bird and Pedroia. Strickly cause of there team and how much they can produce. Also thinking of adding Marco Gonzalez for next week starts vs Tex and TB.
Do I drop Simmons, EROD, Soroka and Tailon for the guys above.
Current Team
Hicks, J
Freeman
Schoop
Arenado
Story
Cain
Mazara
Haniger
Jose Martinez
Bench
Bellinger
Moncada
Simmons
Puig
Ozuna
Seager DL
Starters
Strausburg
Nola
Meada
Bundy
Smith C
Bench
EROD
Soroka
Tailon
Kershaw – DL
Soroka
Was going with Barnhart as of next week (weekly) to replace Beef, but didn’t realize Hicks was C eligible. Barnhart or Hicks?
Barnhart
Hi Grey- how would you tank Benintendi, Hoskins and Jo-Ma? Jo-Ma well below the other two? Thanks!
Hoskins, Benintendi….Jo-Ma
I picked up Nimmo before, should I drop for Mac Williamson? Or maybe Winker but I like him for @COl series?
If you need power, forget Winker
Taliban Grey,
Your write-ups are great and bring me a laugh, and I like the video additions.
Anywho. I have Segura, and used the trade-analyzer which came out close on each and proposed the following trades to other team in my league. Let me know which in your wise opinion in which are decent, and which should be cancelled. Need SP with K/9 and OBPA the most. Thanks.
1) Segura and Corbin for Kluber.
2) Segura for his teammate Paxton
3) Segura and Goldy for Scherzer
4) Segura and Healy for Rendon and Newcomb.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend and don’t drink too many Coors.
Thanks! I’d take any of these in this order: 3, 1, 4
@Grey: Great. So #2 should be flushed? 4 teams proposed to, so can play the wait game perhaps, especially if the team for Segura for Paxton responds sooner.
Yeah, or do it last
@Grey: You’re giving Segura and Goldy for Max first? Wowza.
Don’t hate me, NtSD!
Should I drop Tyler O’Neil, Conforto or Buxton for Mac Williamson and or Bird? Need HR and RBI
Meh, I’d likely hold, otherwise O’Neill for Mac
Grey, any of these wire options superior to my peeps.
Offense: grandal, goldy, schoop, segura, bryant, shaw, story, harper, ozuna, acuna, cain, suarez, alguilar, hosmer, escobar, vlad jr
Pitching: severino, carrasco, cmart (dl), bauer, keuchel, gio, tanaka, quintana, flaherty, reyes (dl)
Wire hitting: profar, olson, hicks, conforto, carpenter, braun, meadows
Wire pitching: bundy, gausman, romero
Someone has to go when Reyes comes off the DL, or I keep him on the DL and make no roster moves.
Thanks! Love your website!
Thanks! Braun over Escobar
Cool. What would be your second move, if you don’t mind.
Nothing…Want me to make up another move?
Tyler not in the lineup tonight. Boooo!
Are him and Mac pretty much even? Tho I guess Mac has his nose in front with regular playing time…
I’d lean Mac, more assured of PT
@Grey: weekly roto. Gray or Jordan Lyles as a back of the rotation SP? Thanks.
Lyles
Giving Segura & Gallo for F Freeman a fair trade……H/H points….will just have to find myself a SS…
Freeman side
Hey Grey, literally this morning I just swung a trade for Bellinger. I gave Lester and Gleyber for his Bellinger and Quintana in a 10 team 5×5 categories league.
I thought it was worth this price to see if Cody regains his form.
I guess we will see who’s right!
Yeah, hope so too! Nice trade for him
Thoughts on Chris Taylor in a 5×5 Standard Yahoo 12 Team?
Thinking of dropping him when Alen Hanson comes off the DL and hoping either he or Odor can produce.
Think it’s fine to move on from him
Have Lowrie, EEscobar, Castro for 2 MI spots and a bench spot. Do you drop any of them or speculative Tepera/J.Anderson for Pedroia, or hold?
Meh, you don’t need 4 mediocre MIs
Your opening on Jesus was fantastic. Thanks for that.
Happy Weekend!
Thanks, you too!
Encarnacion got dropped in my league. 5 x 5 roto.
My current 1B is hosmer, and I have no bench for him. I have waiver priority #1. Should I pick him up or would you instead go for someone like Aguilar out of the FA pool?
I’d drop Hanley in any scenario.
Grab Edwin
Great work Grey!
Dynasty ? For u:
Who would u take long term: O’Neill, Meadows, or Jack Flaherty?
Would u deal a $6 Mancini for a $40 Edwin if u want to win now in a salary keeper?
Have a great Memorial weekend!
You too! Meadows — I’d take Edwin
Rank Aguilar, Mancini, and Bour ROS?
You did
@Grey: hahahaha Grey is the fackin man!! Lolol just says you did when the guy ranked them!! Just wanted to let you know you always make my day sunny Grey
Ha, thanks!
Parker or Tempura?
Parker
@Grey: @Grey:
Love yas!!!
You too!
@Grey:
Also, have you, or are you going to see Solo? All of my friends who saw it sound like they are convincing themselves that it was good . . . but maybe it wasn’t actually good. Sort of like the way I sounded after seeing the first of the recent Hobbit movies. (As opposed to he cartoon from the seventies that still rules!)
I want to see it, but have no plans… Sometimes I get free screenings, so might hold out hope (solo?) for one of those…
Happy Friday & happy long weekend!
While I know it’s semi-dependent in what’s available, but is Samardzija droppable in 12-team leagues? Even ones with a deep bench?
Cheers
Drop him
10 team h2h redraft league, Guy just offered me his Max Scherzer for my Alex Reyes and Rendon
Or
His Morton for my Alex Reyes
As a Cards fan I really don’t want to give up Reyes after waiting on him this long but I think I win that Scherzer trade, what do you think?
My starters
Bauer
Quintana
Archer
Pivetta
Buehler
Newcomb
Flaherty
Wood
DL Ray
DL Reyes
I have Rendon, Shaw, and Machado that can play 3B
I also have Vladdy JR stashed
Scherzer side, it’s not close
Hey Gray, need a C with beef suspended. I am looking at a team with salvy and grandal, he wont trade sal though. Whats a fair offer, I have manaea, c anderson and mancini that I would be OK trading? Barnhart is available on the WW. Thanks!
Any of them? Anderson for Salvy?
@Grey:
I tried Manaea for Salvy and he wouldnt budge. Would Mancini and manaea be too much to offer for either Grandal or Salvy?
Sounds fine for Salvy
Should I trade Votto and Segura for Nolan? Deep at 3b
You’re deep at 3B and you want to trade for Arenado?
@Grey: Well, I have Shaw and rendon. 3b-CI-UTIL, but the other owner been kinda trying to sell Nolan low-ish and he likes Votto. Figure I take the value and can maybe re-trade the other guys later.
Trade them for something you need
“but I would not sell Segura for a free entry into a shrimp tail tossing contest vs. a Benihana chef”
Did you read the same article I did about Marshall Henderson, the ol’ Ole Miss basketball player today?
Nah, never heard of him
Sir Grey!
I need some trade advise.
Thanks to my boys Taylor, Zunino, Ianetta, Rizzo and Desmond I don’t do to well in the avg. department of my 5×5 12 team keeper league.
In 2nd place though and now I can trade Corey Seager and Zunino for Knebel.
Already have Iglesias, Tepera/Clippard/, Morrow and Greene as closers.
But I can trade Morrow for Brantley to shore up the avg a bit (already traded Norris/Cron for Cain)
and make another trade to get Posey and an 18th round pick for my 9th pick next year (we keep 8 guys) and Tony Kemp.
Lots of information sir Grey but I hope you and the fantasy baseball Razzballers can give some advice.
Thanks,
Bas from Holland (where the sun is burning)
I wouldn’t trade Seager for a closer; trade a lesser piece for a lesser closer…. Morrow for Brantley doesn’t sound great either… I don’t like Posey
I’ve been completely ignoring every Marco Gonzales blurb/buy/SON call all year because I thought he was Marco Estrada.
Me too! (not really)
Grey, who’d you rather have ROS: Cody Allen or Boxberger?
Usual cats but K/9 instead of K.
Boxberger
Tyler O’Neill or Scott Schebler in keepers? At risk of Ralph sending the king in the north on me, it seems like they are similar profiles…
Schebler
Hey Grey,
10 team roto, 6×6 w/OPS.
A- You adding Greg Bird over Schwarber or Buxton?
B – You adding Quintana or Maeda over Jon Gray?
Jon Gray has some dope peripherals, but starting him is sort of terrifying…
Thanks, Homie!
A. Nope B. Quintana
Happy Friday Grey!
10 team league where each team keeps 10 players.
Was just offered his Betts, Severino and Buxton for my Jo-Ram and Stanton. Which side?
Have a great weekend!
LG
You too! Hold
@Grey: ok thanks!
No problem
Someone dropped Wilson Ramos. I have the #1 waiver pick, should I use it to pick him up & drop Gattis? Or I can save the pick & hope no one grab him. Is he a big enough upgrade?
Meh, hold, though I don’t know how deep your league is
Cain or hosmer ros OBP league
Would have jo ma Cron and Desmond to cover 1B
Cain
Alex Wood or Reyes?
Wood
Happy Friday Grey!
Thoughts on Corbin @ Oaktown tonight, SON is meh but thinking I may roll him out.
Have a great long weekend!
I’m starting him
@Grey: Perfect. Thanks!
No problem
Colome traded – you like Romo or Alvarado? Also wow someone traded for that asshat!
Gotta be Alvarado
@Grey: Colome is droppable I would assume?
Yup
@Grey: Not in a Holds league haha
Haha
@Grey: Though it does mean I now own Colome and Nicasio (gritted teeth emoji)
Eek
@Grey:Word bird, I’ve got Morrow, Allen, Kela in a 12T mixed but Alvarado is out there, worth losing my bench bat (Dahl although Conforto just hit waivers so possibility to get em) or hang on for now? Closers tend to have value in this league which is why I’m considering it. Appreciate your weekend overtime!
Hold
pick one ROS…. Nimmo, Parra or Dahl?
Dahl
Pitch Newcomb in Boston tomorrow?
Nah
Winker or Owings in my Util spot?
Owings
Winker, in Coors tho
start eduardo rdriguez tonight vs. atlanta?
better pick-up tonight: winker or dahl at coors?
Sure… Dahl
Love the site and appreciate how much time you take to answer everyone’s questions but boy do you give some ? sheet advice…. granted it is FREE but you’re pretty clueless for someone who runs a fantasy baseball website
10 team Dynasty — 6×6 OBP
Mr. First Place is offering me (4th place) his Bregman ($7) and Cruz ($22) for my Gleyber ($3).
I’m worried about cap space at the end of the season, otherwise I’d pull the trigger, but I’d also much rather go 2-for-2 because I don’t have anyone I’d want to drop.
Should I counter by asking for his Bregman and Bellinger/or/Blackmon, for my Gleyber and Gallo? Or am I being too greedy and should just accept what he’s offering and be happy? (He’d probably be more liable to give up Bregman and Bellinger.)
I also often have problems thinking with my Dynasty Owner cap because of all the re-draft leagues I’m in, so would I be selling high on Greyber, or am I shortchanging him?
Bregman side… if you wanna try for Bellinger or Blackmon, go for it
@Grey: Well, I think I’m going to take a stab at Bregman and Bellinger. Here goes nothing.
Thanks!
No problem
Tepera or Alvarado?
Alvarado
Hey Gr-al (that doesn’t work) Aguilar or Mac for HR, RBI 12team Roto … and.. Still going back and fourth trying to acquire Freeman. Dude wants Kluber and Reyes. My staff is Sherz, DeGrom, Nuke, Pivetta and guys above. I’m huuuurting in HR, R, RBI. Just feel like Reyes is going to be something special and I’m being stubborn about letting him go.
Ha, Aguilar… Don’t do the trade if you’re not feeling it
@Grey: ok f my feelings. What would you do ha
Kluber and Reyes is a lot to pay for Freeman, but fair to get him
@Grey: Thank you sir
No problem
Guys available: Soto, Aguilar, Meadows, Velasquez, Tyson Ross
Guys i can cut: Dee Gordon, Matt Chapman, Trey Mancini, Corey Dickerson, Evan Longoria, Patrick Corbin, Kyle Gibson, Sean Manaea
How many of them should I add and at whose expense?
Longo for Aguilar, Chapman for Soto
hanram, hahahahaa. not giving a shit finally caught up with him, no matter how much “his training was the best shape of his life”. now he won’t even get the 2 30 day DL stints or the 30 HR/30 steals (he wasn’t ever gonna get 30 steals). this would be funnier if i didn’t own him in (thank god) one spot, but at least now i don’t have to drop anybody when r-zimm or swiggy come back
Haha
Just traded 3 closers for Cespedes; of course Colome was one of my remaining closers.
Some wiseguy kept making Hanley offers to me this afternoon. Most of them I wouldn’t have accepted yesterday, let alone now.
Ha!
Which side would you be on?
Cain & Merrifield for Goldschmidt & Dozier.
Thanks
Goldy
Hey Grey,
Colome to the Mariners sort of complicates my team in a SV/HLD League. Not sure how they are going to use him.
Think it’s worth dropping him and adding Daniel Winkler? Great peripherals On a winning team and Braves said he could see some save chances going forward…
Alex
Yeah, go with Winkler
@Grey: Thanks dude, have a great weekend!
You too!
Guess this is a “good” problem. Have no idea who to drop w Marte returning tomorrow
My team is
C Mesoraco
1B Cron
2B Schoop
3B Jose Ramirez
SS Chris Taylor
OF Acuna
OFJose Martinez ( can also move to 1B)
OF Jankowski
Until Sano
Until Ozuna
BN Lamb
BN Eddie Rosario
BN Vlad Guerrero
Thanks
Cron, move Jo-Ma to first
Hey Grey,
I know you’ve recommended Tepera a few times recently, but unfortunately I dropped him the day before the Osuna news. Just kinda been my year for this? Ha. Anyways, I picked up Oh once Tepera got scooped up. Any chance he sees saves? Or would you drop Oh for Winkler?
Thanks!
I doubt it, but you never know
alvarado available nowhere, surprisingly he WAS in this league but about 2 hours before the trade he was nabbed. now i’m down to 1 closer, but that’s not awful in a 20 teamer, what is worse is that nicasio now gets devalued. 20 teamer redraft h2h with 5 max RP slots and holds added. i have nicasio, colome, greene, yates, cingrani. drop nicasio for any of: jimenez, bearclaw, romo (in case this becomes a committee at TB)
2. different league. 12 teamer dynasty with OPS. i’m in 1st but have tons of injuries. due to those injuries i’ve been loading up on what turned out to be all TB bats.
C kraken
1B cron
2B assdribble (3B/SS)
SS correa
3B bregman (SS)
OF (3) judge/deshizz/desmond (1B)
util (2) fatt adams (1B/OF), duffy (2B/3B, surprisingly good, almost like lowrie actually)
BN d-rob (2B/SS), leonys, field
DL pollock, cespedes, thames, hanson (THESE are a LOT of why i’m in 1st, but it’s a roto whew for that)
drop anybody for the candleman, he was doing well and is now back.
I’d try Romo for a few days, then move to Barraclough — Field for Jeimer
I rarely get to say this, because I’ve missed on so, so, SO many players, but I’ve been on the Jesus Aguilar bandwagon since day one.
Vindication!
Nevermind that enormous trash heap of crashed bandwagons, THIS one is gold!
Haha, yes!
AL only. nicasio losing value. 4 RP slots i have leclerc, nicasio, brach, kelvin. drop nicasio or leclerc (appears back to 7th inning with martin back, even though leclerc’s stats are better) for any of (or just who’s best 2 out of all of these): romo (committee the monkey is speculating might be the case), roe, the putting challenge lou trevino (OAK, appears to get the most holds there), casilla, duke, j.anderson, rondon, givens.
Speculate on Romo for a few days with Nicasio
in a 10 team redraft where each team picks 3 real life hitting and 3 pitching teams and gets (from date of draft in mid march) ALL the players owned by those teams for rest of season, except for trades we can make ourselves, and anybody first signed stays with that team (so bautista is ATL hitting property all year) with OPS, total bases, OBP over AVG. 2 of every position starts. i have MIN/ATL/WAS hitting
C flowers
C suzuki (today both playing)
1B sano more (3B)
1B fatt adams (OF)
2B dozier
2B albies
SS EE
SS treat urner
3B rendon
3B freeman (1B)
LF acuna (CF)
CF rosario (RF/LF)
RF harper
OF soto (RF)
OF taylor (CF)
OF markakis (RF)
BN severino, inciarte (CF), mini donkey (1B)
DL (but i own ALL of these regardless, the stashing is just to save on the 8 weekly max moves): r-zimm, eaton, wieters, mauer
here, trade murphy for segura? EE could go back to backing up numerous spots.
If you can move Murphy for Segura, you do it
@Grey: that’s what i would’ve thought, OPS ROS rater has murphy as worth double (10 more) than segura.
Wow
Hey Grey,
1) Hate to do this deep 270 player 10 team roto league.. but who do you drop when starling marte returns ?
-Trevor Cahill
-Caleb smith
-Tyson Ross
-Luis Castillo
-Dylan Bundy
2) If you were to drop a batter instead of a pitcher, who do you drop?
-Healy
-Matt Chapman
-Jesus Aguilar
-Ian Desmond
Thanks !
Ross or Chapman… prolly lose Chapman first
@Josh-NYC:
3) Grey, after you choose the first batter to drop, which other batter would you drop to add schoop? Or hold?
4) schoop or Domingo Santana?
3. Healy 4. Schoop
Grey, I know you don’t like trading multiple players, but this guy I’m dealing with that’s his MO.
It’s a 12 team weekly roto dynasty keep all. I’m in first but only by a point.
My Goldy his Abreu
My S. Gray his JA. Happ
My Clevinger his Morton, so far so good
My Castellanos (on reserves) His M. Taylor
My Flaherety
My W. Myers, so 6×4.
I won’t accept tiis but if he switched out Taylor for either Puig, Beni or Snell how to you feel about it. If I got Puig the trade anaylyzer has it only a dollor difference.
Not good
This is where I post an I-started-Musgrove-and-Keuchel, humblebrag, right?
Haha, nice
@Grey: Anything to see here with Musgrove, or just a streamer?
Might be something
Standard, season-long roto (R, RBI, HR, SB, AVG).
Two different trades…do or hold:
1) My Judge for Betts
2) My Kershaw for Cole
Betts side, Kershaw side
I was 100% certain you would like Cole more than Kershaw, especially since you’ve been really high on Cole.
Gotcha
Do you have concerns about Kershaw’s loss in velo and that bicep tendon? I guess that’s why I tough you would take Cole over Kersh.
Yea, I’m concerned, but Cole’s also not who he is
SMarte Newcomb
Or
Goldy Romero
In a keeper
Goldy, maybe fair tho
Grey, is Musgrove a must add? Over Tailon, Soroko, Meada or EROD.
Strausburg
Kershaw – DL
Nola
Bundy
Caleb Smtih
Soroka
Love every write up! My partner kwoox and I live and die by your word. Do we drop colome for Musgrove? Our closers were him morrow and Britton.
Thanks! I’d make that more
IF both are in the Pirates rotation going forward, do you prefer Musgrove or Kingham? Musgrove seems to be a lock for playing time and I’m guessing the Pirates find a way to get Kingham back in there, too.
Musgrove
Grey
Need saves, parker alvarado or brach ros
Thanks mate
Parker
Should I offer E. Suarez, Votto, and Mazara. For Arenado, and Torres? If that’s not good enough I could offer instead of Mazara, I could offer Myers.
C: Contreras
1b: Votto
2b: adsrubel
3b: Suarez
Ss: Tim Anderson
Of: Yelich
Of: Marte
Of: Hoskins
Ut: Mazara
Bench: Myers, Murphy, Lamb, Gyorko…
When Murphy gets back I’ll play adsrubel at shortstop if Anderson doesn’t start getting Runs batted in. Lamb is for if Suarez gets injured, I won’t be able to use adsrubel there because Tim Anderson isn’t getting rib. I may hold and hope he hits in a better spot.
I don’t need any pitching at all. The guy with Arenado has no outfield. Hicks, Khris Davis, bellinger, O’Neal, markakis are his options. He has Arenado and Freeman, what’s a good offer for one of them. I’d like to maybe get one of them with his gleyber Torres too. Cam you see a trade offer I might send with hopes of him accepting?
Sure
Just needed to put this somewhere: Vlad Jr.’s current AA stats through 43 games extended to 162 games: 150 R, 38 HR, 181 RBI, 275 hits. Good night.
Haha
Hi Grey, Would you drop McCutchen for Meadows or Puig? THanks!
Puig
Did I or did I not tell you Andrew Heaney would break out this year? Be fair. I commented in the preseason here he would be this year’s Alex Wood
@Willy Mo: Can you or can you not ever make a comment that isn’t flashing your nutsack or throwing shade? Be fair. You’ve sounded like an asshole since the preseason.
@nick the smooth dick: this is bullshit. Grey is the one who sucks his own dick about every right call he makes. I never see you calling him out for tooting his own horn.
Not one person on this site touted heaney but me.
@Willy Mo: grey makes fun of his own “bad” calls all the time.
rutledge, b.miller, delino (numerous years), shark (this year particularly). heaney was well liked around here for years for his upside, he just was always hurt.
– guess you found yourself one of those unfalsifiable situations where you just can’t be wrong. if heaney was good you’d show up and show yr ass, if he got hurt and sucked, “well of course, he’s always hurt”. should start a religion with this stuff, it’s neat being unfalsifiable.
a.meyer was pretty good last year too when healthy. get an early start on him too before others “call it”
@I got $100 for groceries, $1400 for liquor and $6,000 for you to bail a couple of shit puppets out of jail: odor (which wasn’t even a bad call it was babip luck, same as most of above) last year was a BIG one (as far as how much over ADP grey was on odor). the fangraphs (or whoever it was) guys ripping on him for it, odor went well over their projected HR’s (and probably over on the steals as well).
-now THIS year odor has been just bad. HR’s left the building along with everything else. steals too. babip or not his value is garbage. and he never had an OBP to rely on.
I know, hopefully he comes around
Maybe, don’t remember
Would you drop McCutchen for either Meadows or Puig?
Puig
Would you drop McCutchen for Meadows or Puig?
Puig
In a tight match up in my deep points league, which two would you start?
Colon vs KC (SoN 0.3)
Cahill vs AZ ( SoN 4.0)
Richards @NYY (SoN 5.5)
Thanks!
Cahill, Richards
Given the impending playing time issues, would you dump Meadows for Mac W?
Guess try Mac, but I’d like to see how Austin’s playing time plays out first
Michael Conforto is right at the 50% cutoff and the bat is starting to come around – would you consider him a better buy than Desmond?
Desmond = Coors in summer
I am looking to drop a player or two to pick up a FA.
Here is my team. Who would you drop.
Grandal, Yadi, Votto, J. Ramirez, Torres, Machado, Didi, Asdbrual Cabrera, Pollock, Jose Martinez, Mazara, Hoskins, Severino, Corbin, Morton, Sale, Clevinger, Mikolas, Robbie Ray, Kershaw, Kimbrel, Hand
Who would you pick up as a FA. Looking at one Position player and one SP.
Gyorko, Rojas, Tyler O’Neill, Cordero, Jankowski, Profar, Brian Anderson, Tim Anderson, Lyles,
Carl Edwards, Jack Flaherty, Rodney, Lynn, Tyler Anderson, Alex Reyes, Yarbrough, Nate Jones,
Neris, Gibson
Reyes… tho no idea who you’re dropping, I guess Clevinger
16 teamer, with pedroia back it might not matter how many awesome positions nunez has. OPS keep 6 h2h league. have
C uh oh
1B goldy
2B gone varnish (SS)
SS segura
3B torenado
OF (3) soler, puig, gallo (1B/3B)
util (2) jankowski, choo
BN nunez
drop nunez for any of: moreland, parra, guzman, nimmo?
2. AL only with QS over wins. time to drop pom for yarbrough?
@Blind umps have rights too (seriously their union is that strong): 3. similar to #1, but in 16 team dynasty. drop pom for yarbrough or gaviglio? have these, and soon somebody probably needs to go for reyes anyway: pom, hamels, carrasco, strip, morton, wood, leblanc (streamer)
3. Yarbrough
I’d try Nimmo 2. Sure
Amazon is picking up the Expanse. Word yo!
vlad hit another HR.
@Peacecoast: Best news!
Yes! Vlad better be up by next week this time…
Nice write up as always Grey!
12 Team H2H points league – Looking to upgrade at SS
Available on waivers Rojas, Russel, Profar, Robertson.
Or should I try and trade a SP or bat for an elite SS?
C Perez / Barnhart
1 Freeman / Hosmer
2 Jo Ram / Moncada
3 Shaw / Devers
SS Peraza/Swanson
OF Hanniger / Yelich / Acuna / Jo Mart (schwarber / Olson)
SP Thor / Pax / Corbin / Burrios / Taillon (start 3)
Treinen / Knebel
Thanks and have a great Memorial Day!! MERICA
Those waiver guys don’t do much for me… Guess try to make a trade, Corbin for SS upgrade? You too!
12team, H2H league where I am off to a ridiculously lucky start. Working to build for those Sept playoffs. A struggling team has Eaton in his DL spot. With my team below, would you offer Pivetta for him? JoMa? Vlad? Hold?
Second question: If I can not make a two for one deal, who is cut when MadBum, Britton come off DL? Leaning Peralta but that 3B logjam is an issue.
C- Gattis
CI – Freeman, Eugenio, Santana
MI – Dee, Semien, Bregman
LF- Rosario. CF – Trout. RF – Mazara
OF- Jo Ma, DeShizz
Util- Cruz
Bench- Peralta, Seager, Vlad (two fer one trades out there to shorten my bench)
SP- Max, MadBum, Morton, Hendricks, Bauer, Pivetta
RP- Jones, Herrera
DL- Britton
To trade for Eaton? No way
2. Peralta, Delino
@Grey:
Thanks. Cutting both Peralta and DeShizz leaves me an OF short though.
With that musgrove start, would you start him against the Cubbies next week over Mengden v TB? SON likes both, but prefers Mengden ($8+ compared to $2+)
Mengden @home vs. TB sounds pretty damn good
Need to drop a DL stash – Faria, Ryu, Todd Frazier, DeJong, Daniel Murphy
Also want to add a reliever for ratios/saves – Devenski, Peacock, Brach, Jeffress, Betances, Seranthony, Hughes, Minter
And would you do a second guy from that list over Neris?
Thanks!
Drop Frazier and/or Faria — Devenski, I’d hold Neris he’s getting saves
To keep as a shortstop, who would you rather Gyorko or Tim Anderson? In my league a player needs 5 starts at a position to be eligible. So Gyorko should have shortstop eligibility soon. Also if you say Gyorko then is Tim Anderson droppable. I will have to drop 1 when Britton gets back.
Anderson
Word of the day: insouciance.
Is it pronounced in-sook-iance or in-suck-iance?
Will Hanley be picked up and get paid the league minimum on another team? Place your bets folks on where he’ll end up. My bets on the Mariners.
Gareth! Good to see you…. It’s a soft C — Hanley will end up somewhere, he does have Rockies feel to him
Grey, i have Pivetta starting tomorrow at home against Toronto
Would u pick up JA Happ to start him against Pivetta or start Tallion at home against Cards?
Taillon
I’m in 5th place out of 8 in AL Only Roto league with keepers… its my last year to keep Mookie Betts, so I deal him or throw him back into the pool next year. My hitting stats are pretty solid, but SBs lacking. My pitching is awful all year, but Paxton.
Would you do:
Mookie Betts
Sonny Gray
Roughned Odor
Marco Estrada
For:
Adam Jones
Corey Kluber
Craig Kimbrel
David Price
Cody Allen/JA Happ
I’d hate to deal Mookie, but I’m not allowed to keep him past this year ( we have a 3yr max ).
Let me know your thoughts!
Thanks!
-Jarrod
To try to win this year? Sounds fine
Think A Reyes can have a whip under 1.12 ?
Love him but don’t trust his control ROS.
Yes I’m knit picking. But whatchathink
I’d say a WHIP of at least 1.20
Matt Adams or Happ ROS?
Wanna say Happ, might be Adams
@Grey:
Stump the Osho!
Also here is my team:
:posts team:
Is there anyone I should cut for anyone available? Also, would you try to trade any of these guys for anyone that ever played baseball?
Should I throw in two Gregg Jefferies rookie cards or just one Keith Hernandez GW RBI card?
To throw in the Gregg Jefferies rookie cards, do you have to dig up your family vault in your grandma’s backyard in West Virginia? Trying to gauge time needed
@Grey: hehe. pretty much
I picked up Happ. If Adams outperforms him, I’m going Willy Mo on you.
Aw geez
Dahl or Oneill?
Dahl
All the Reyes news has me drooling. 0.00 ERA, insane k:BB ratio, and a couple days ago the team announced there’d be no innings limit. It’s gotten to the point where I have to wonder what the bad news is (hush yo mouf!) because I swear I’ve been through this before pinking up & holiding a hurt player only to be disaooojnted.
Speaking of disappointment, when will Vlad the Mini Impaler be up?!? How much more does he need to do to get the call? Kid’s straight crushing it – and usually teams like selling jerseys last I checked. Any rumors of a call-up? He too is taking valuable bench space for me. Is there someone I can bribe with hot sauce to expedite this?
Haha, I hear ya on Reyes, what’s the bad news?! I’d guess by next week on Vlad… Send hot sauce to Gibbons, stat!
What’s up with Rhys Hoskins? Does he adjust to offspeed pitching this year or is this a long term weakness? If you could trade him for Austin Meadows, do it?
Hoskins will be fine, h needs to come out of his slump, way more valuable than Meadows
I was offered Buxton for my Joe Kelly in a 14 team league that has a holds category. Has his value fallen that far? I’ve got Stanton, Rosario and Puig for outfield and Bregman and Conforto at utl. so I don’t necessarily need Buxton. But this seems like a no brainer right?
No brainer, yup
S+H league. What do I do with Andrew Miller? Drafted this chump in the tenth round. But there are lots of MR out there getting K’s and holds. Does he have trade value in a 12t mixed? Drop him? or hold. Same thing with David Robertson although I have already decided to drop his ass.
Was watching Expanse mid season 2 last night. I think I actually teared up at one point.
Still though, you should know The Leftovers is still possibly my favorite show ever. You really should know that too, since I have told you umpteen times. You never listen to me anymore.
I listen! I like The Leftovers too, and Expanse is great but not quite at that level, I do like how they wrap up stories mid season… lose Miller and Robertson
Nola and Vast for Cain and Odubel. Fairish? Which side do you prefer?
Vast?
@Grey: sorry. Cadt
@DodgerWindowClosed: cast
Good morning, Grey!
We’re starting Flaherty @ Pitt vs Trevor Williams, right? SON has him in the negative, but he’s got Trevor as a bigger negative and Pitt’s a decent pitching park. What say you, Master Lothario?
PS: No Tyler O’Neill second day in a row! How does this end for STL???
Thanks!
@GrassyKnollRedding: And Marte is back, Meadows to the bench for Pitt.
@VinWins: Yeah, it’s a bad year to be a great prospect. I really think Meadows has earned Polanco’s spot in the lineup. At least for as long as he keeps up this hitting.
Ugh
O’Neill’s prolly sent down… I’m starting both
Maybe I was a bit short-sighted grabbing O’Neill, Meadows, and Soto everywhere.
@VinWins: yeah the cardinals need a power source of any kind and they wont play him
@AL KOHOLIC: If I’m Flaherty or Weaver or any Cardinals pitcher, I’m kinda pissed that I have to take the mound knowing the team isn’t fielding its best potential offense behind me.
Why, Soto’s not playing either?
@Grey: No, Soto’s playing. At 19 though, it seems likely he will eventually be a less reliable option.
Ah, gotcha, well, hopefully he plays and hits
Trade Knebel for Treinen or hold?
Hold
Hey what’s up Mr Grey few questions for you sir. My league is 10 person keeper league (5 keepers) with strict roster limits (2 first basemen, 2 second basemen, 2 shortstops, 2 third basemen, 6 outfielders, 6 starring pitchers (limited to ten starts a week) and 3 relief pitchers). My current roster is:
C – Contreras, Barnhart
1b – belt, mancini, miggy (dl)
2b – Jose ramirez, cozart
3b – moustakas, healy
Ss – lindor, story
Of – Hoskins, bellinger, acuna, Soto, deshields, Adam Jones
Sp- Lester, Alex wood, Mikolas, Severino, Nola, Pivetta (ray on dl)
Rp – Felipe Vasquez, Edwin diaZ, Kimbrel
1. Drop Vasquez for chad green, joe kelly or devenski? Or hold? Green has like 40 more points than him right now..
2. When ray comes back from dl who’s the drop for sp Lester, wood or Pivetta?
3. For backup 2b keep cozart? Or drop for Peraza, Castro or Profar? (I like cozart only because he has 2b,ss and 3b eligibility)
4. Pick up Jesus Aguilar and drop mancini or hold?
5. Drop deshields for Aaron hicks or hold?
6. Drop Healy for Andujar or hold?
Thanks Grey! And thanks for “the expanse” tip loving it so far
1. Hold 2. Lester 3. Peraza 4. Go for it 5. Go for it 6. Go for it — 2nd season’s even better!
My bullpen has taken a hit this week losing both Iglesias and Colome. Should I roster Ziegler (only closer on waivers) or pick up another solid reliever like Harris, Fields or Fry? Our league has separate categories for saves and holds. Thanks!
Grab Fields
Roto 5 x 5. Got offered Arrieta + Odubel for my Corbin. Would drop Michael Taylor.
Take it?
Odubel side, it’s fair
Looking to shed some dead weight.
How do you guyss rank these ROS?
Buxton, M. Taylor, B. Hamilton.
As always, thanks for the input.
Bux, Hamilton
I noticed that Jean Segura is rated 51 on the ROS projections for Yahoo 12-team which leaves 50 possible hitter trade candidates that are upgrades and only the following have upside on speed – Betts, Turner, Acuna, Marte, Merrifield or Gordon. Machado, Turner, and Baez are the only SS eligible upgrades.
In other words, I think it would be hard to do better?
Gotcha, could trade for an arm
In an 11 tm keeper league, would you dump ODB, Devers (have Suarez at 3B), Hosmer (have Abreu at 1B) or Rosario for Meadows? My 4 keepers for this season were Bellinger, Rhysus, Correa, and Jose Ramirez.
Hold
@Grey: Holding on, mi beisbol amor. Thanks!
No problem
Hey Grey – Was offered Scherzer and Vlad for my Machado and Reyes in a redraft.
Feels like Manny side wins pretty strongly for now, but what when Vlad is eventually called up?
Next week is my hope for Vlad…. Machado side
@Grey: thanks – he came back with my Reyes for his Vlad – I think that works, right?
I agree re Vlad up in the next 1-2 weeks. Plus When you’re starting Russell Martin at SS and your star closer is about to be suspended, gotta do something for the fans!
Take Vlad
What type of ratios do you see from Reyes?
3.35/1.22
holland agreed to the fake DL stint.
Best thing he’s done all year
Grey, McMahon starting at 2B at Coors. Would u drop Gyorko for McMahon or hold. It would be a util spot?
Sure, drop Gyorko
Greyt write up per usual
What closers should I look to trade for if offering up Ozuna?
Thanks for all you do!!
I wouldn’t trade Ozuna for a closer
Hey Grey,
Would you drop either Andujar or Big Mac for COL’s McMahon?
Thanks!
Nah
Holy Tim Anderson.
Haha
@Grey: Reyes to start on Wednesday at Mil. Start him over Pivetta @ sf?
Sure
Darvish back to the DL.
Should’ve been on there since last year
Good call on advising NOT to start Jon Gray yesterday…. phew & thx
So the question now is… is Jon Gray droppable for streamers? Thinking of grabbing Joulys Chacin at home vs NYM or Cahill later on.
Also, you starting Reyes’ first start on Wednesday @ MIL?
Thx again
I’m starting Reyes, drop Gray for streamers
Who has more K’s ROS – Kershaw or Reyes?
Kershaw
1) Moreland or Aguilar?
2) Just offered Rendon and Cervelli for Abreu, how’s that sound?
thank you!
Aguilar… Abreu side
Aguilar….Abreu
Hey, Grey. Reyes or Pocello? Thanks!
Reyes
Darvish replacement…
Ross or Weaver?
Weaver
Musgrove or Mengden ROS?
Mengden, depends on the matchup
Hi Grey, 10 tm h2h pts, pls select top 2 for ROS? Pham, Profar, Rosario. or Choo – thanks and have a great summer.
Pham, Rosario
I picked up Alvarez, but I am looking at Yarborough now. If that’s how you spell it. Is Alvarez going to be the closer, who is next man up. Not Romo?
How long is Iglesias going to be out? I own hughs.
Alvarado
Would you trade away Flaherty and Chris Taylor for Quintana? Qs instead of wins
Yes
Could you rank Tony Kemp, Kiner-Falefa and Guillermo Heredia?
Kiner, Kemp
@Schmohawks Bob: this posts twice so please answer only one. This one got delayed so I thought it hadn’t posted. Sorry.
Stuck on an island – pick one of Willy Mo or Kellyanne Conway
Kellyanne
@Grey: Ha! Hope your summer’s been off the hook – wife and I just got back from a quick UK trip. Spent a chunk of time in Cornwall. No prepping the house to sell. Crazy busy.
Nice! Why did you visit Cornwall?
@Grey: We had never been – and I study/teach mining history/industrial heritage stuff. Tons of old copper and tin mines. Super picturesque.
Cool, I had lived in London for six months but can’t say I went or know anything about Cornwall…
@Grey: Nice! I didn’t know that. We rented a car, which was kind of nuts. Ended up checking out Ironbridge, did a workshop in Coventry, then Stonehedge and Avebury. Great food the entire time. If you get a chance to go back, Cornwall was really cool .
I wanted to do Stonehenge, but it was such a hike from London… Would definitely like to do that some time… Did you do London at all?
@Grey: Nope – we were planning to, then remembered that there was some type of wedding happening
Ah…That makes sense to avoid
Hey Grey, hope you’re enjoying Memorial Day weekend. Joe Musgrove and Ross stripling are available in my league. It’s hard to get super excited about musgrove after just one start, but stripling has gorgeous periphs.
My rotation is already pretty stacked… Do you drop any of these guys for one or both? Caleb smith, Tyson Ross, Trevor Cahill
I was thinking possibly Trevor Cahill.
Thanks!
Ross for Musgrove
Please rank Kiner-Falefa, Guillermo Heredia, and Tony Kemp.
I did above
Looking to add a bat for next week:
Gorky [email protected] Col for 3 games
Candelario
Gurriel
Cozart
Nimmo
Which two would you add.
Thank you
@lwomack58:
Please add Ryan McMahon as a possible wire add.
Thank again.
Nimmo, Jeimer
Grey, tomorrow streamers. Please pick 2.
SON likes all these starts
Gonzales at home Vs Tex
Gohara at home vsMets
C. Smith at SD
Skaggs at Det
Junis at home vs Minny
Lauer at home vs Mia
Junis, Skaggs
I need a lineup service that tells me specifically who is not starting, because I checked the Red Sox lineup and didn’t notice no JD. Anyway, Soto, O’Neill, and Meadows all starting today.
Haha, the lineup service that knows what you’re looking for, yeah, why don’t we have that!
Is Mugrove an must add? If so we he deliever over Soroka.
I don’t have much to drop as far as pitching.
Kershaw
Strausburg
Nola
Bundy
Maeda
Tailon
Soroka
EROD
Also, you like Doolittle over Rivera (Pitt)?
Over Soroka, I’d hold Vazquez
Start Folty against Boston today?
Thankyou!
Not if you can avoid
Should i start Folty today against Boston?
Not if you can avoid
Have another question.
Been offered-my Walker Buehler for his Encarnacion.
I have fairly solid pitching and could use the home runs-
Would you make this trade?
Thanks
Edwin side
12 team, H2H league well out front in first place so already seeking bench strength for Sept playoff run. Hope I did not just jinx it.
Britton and MadBum coming off DL in the next week or so. Who is my DL stash between Molina, DeJong, Thames. Thinking Thames but he burned me down the stretch last year. Don’t trust Gattis but he is a catcher after all. Molina safer? My team is below if that helps inform the suggestion:
C- Gattis
CI – Freeman, Eugenio, Santana
MI – Dee, Semien, Bregman
LF- Rosario, CF – Trout RF – Mazara
OF – DeShizz, Jo Ma
Util – Nelson Cruz
Bench – Seager, Peralta, Vlad (trying to do some two fer one trades to consolidate)
SP – Max, MadBum, Morton, Hendricks, Bauer, Pivetta
RP – Herrera, Jones
DL – Britton
DeJong
@Grey:
Thank you. Good stuff as always.
No problem
Should i start Folty today?
Not if you can avoid it
@Grey:
Agreed. Thanks!
No problem
Good morning, Grey
Since Gibbons says he would’ve given Oh the next try to save, would you drop Alvarado for Oh? Or wait and see how TB bullpen shakes out? Feel better about either bullpen shituation?
Thanks!
I’d wait to see how Alvarado shakes out
Pls rank who will pitch meaningful innings in Sept.
Pivetta, Cahill, Musgrove, Heaney.
You did
12 team 6×6 h2h OpS BAA
Rostering James McCann.
Trade Matz for Barnhart or stick with McCann?
Meh, hold…There’s gotta be better guys on waivers
Grey, Drop Puig for Desmond?
Trade Hicks and Soroka for Realmuto?
Yes, Desmond, sure Relamuto
10 team 5×5, split into halves for scoring. I’m out for this half already, so looking for post ASB.
Can you rank by who will be better ROS/post ASB? We only get one move (non-injury) a week, so I have to think long-term, a bad move = 2 weeks of moves used.
On my squad
J Gray, Taillon, Gausman
Available
Stripling, Musgrove, Odorizzi, Lyles, C Smith, Hellickson, Weaver
Anyone not up now that you think will have a big impact in the second half?
Thanks!
Musgrove, Odorizzi over Gausman and Gray
who would you sit this week out of these pitchers. I need to sit three of them.
H2H league
Severino, Corbin, Morton, Sale, Clevinger, Mikolas, Robbie Ray, Kershaw, Kimbrel, Hand, Reyes, Sale
I don’t know their matchups https://razzball.com/streamers/
1. H2H weekly standard cats, limited moves: Barnhart or Gattis
2. Next week playing Knebel and Vizcaino as my RPs
I have Carrasco and Bauer @ Min
Pivetta @ SF
Reyes @ Mil
Last 2 P go to who?
Newcomb and Folty vs Was
Castillo @ Ari
1. Gattis 2. Not Castillo
Hey Grey,
Just had the random thought that what Tampa Bay is doing might work like a dream if they had a better pitching option than Romo. Could you imagiine Josh Hader starting every game for them, striking out the top of the order then turning it over to another guy? Hader might luck into a 30-game record by the end of the season if TB got some runs in the first inning or two. But as a Hader owner, I’m glad they don’t have Hader!
Oh, and I just picked up Richard Rodriguez after seeing that video of Felipe Vasquez clutching his forearm. Figure even if RR doesn’t get the closing gig his ratios won’t kill me while I speculate. Can’t say the same for Feliz. Decent move…?
Makes sense…
sup G how is weekend going?
Drop Vasquez if no DL slots? S+H league and between him, Robertson and Miller these fucks are wasting a good job by my SP.
@peacecoast: I mean I would have a DL slot by the following week, but I’m not sure this guy is elite enough anymore to have him sit on my bench until then in a S+H league. Am I just being too impatient?
It’s going all right, did he get DL’d already?
Need to drop a pitcher-
G. Richards, Flaherty, Pivetta or Mikolas-who would you drop to add Reyes off DL?
Thanks and have a great day tomorrow.
Flaherty
Hey Grey – interested in grabbing Vlad in the one league I don’t have him, a 12 team keep forever. The wrinkle is that I’m in first (very close battle) and want to bring home the crown this year (flags fly forever!)
My best pitcher is Morton ($10) (Ray on DL was my ace). I have lots of intriguing guys like Mikolas, Taillon, Clevinger, Wacha, Caleb Smith, Hendricks, Mengden (Hill Ryu on DL), but no clear aces besides what Morton is doing right now.
For a $5 Vlad (keep for $8), he’d want my Morton and a smaller piece (Peraza Villar). None of my guys are keepers for me, but Morton in particular is a big piece of my 1st place run right now.
Too costly for Vlad, or go for Vlad?
Sounds fair, I say grab Vlad
33 guys been left stranded on base in this game so far. And we’re not even out of the 4th inning.
Haha
