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.
33 guys been left stranded on base in this game so far. And we’re not even out of the 4th inning.
Haha
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
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
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?
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…
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
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
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
Grey, Drop Puig for Desmond?
Trade Hicks and Soroka for Realmuto?
Yes, Desmond, sure Relamuto
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
Pls rank who will pitch meaningful innings in Sept.
Pivetta, Cahill, Musgrove, Heaney.
You did
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
Should i start Folty today?
Not if you can avoid it
@Grey:
Agreed. Thanks!
No problem
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
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
Should i start Folty today against Boston?
Not if you can avoid
Start Folty against Boston today?
Thankyou!
Not if you can avoid
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
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!
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
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
Please rank Kiner-Falefa, Guillermo Heredia, and Tony Kemp.
I did above
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
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
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.
Would you trade away Flaherty and Chris Taylor for Quintana? Qs instead of wins
Yes
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
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
Musgrove or Mengden ROS?
Mengden, depends on the matchup
Darvish replacement…
Ross or Weaver?
Weaver
Hey, Grey. Reyes or Pocello? Thanks!
Reyes
1) Moreland or Aguilar?
2) Just offered Rendon and Cervelli for Abreu, how’s that sound?
thank you!
Aguilar… Abreu side
Aguilar….Abreu
Who has more K’s ROS – Kershaw or Reyes?
Kershaw
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
Darvish back to the DL.
Should’ve been on there since last year
@Grey: Reyes to start on Wednesday at Mil. Start him over Pivetta @ sf?
Sure
Holy Tim Anderson.
Haha
Hey Grey,
Would you drop either Andujar or Big Mac for COL’s McMahon?
Thanks!
Nah
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
Grey, McMahon starting at 2B at Coors. Would u drop Gyorko for McMahon or hold. It would be a util spot?
Sure, drop Gyorko
holland agreed to the fake DL stint.
Best thing he’s done all year
What type of ratios do you see from Reyes?
3.35/1.22
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
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
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
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
Roto 5 x 5. Got offered Arrieta + Odubel for my Corbin. Would drop Michael Taylor.
Take it?
Odubel side, it’s fair
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
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!
Trade Knebel for Treinen or hold?
Hold
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
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
Nola and Vast for Cain and Odubel. Fairish? Which side do you prefer?
Vast?
@Grey: sorry. Cadt
@DodgerWindowClosed: cast
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
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
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
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!
Dahl or Oneill?
Dahl
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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!
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…
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
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
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
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
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
Would you drop McCutchen for Meadows or Puig?
Puig
Would you drop McCutchen for either Meadows or Puig?
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
Hi Grey, Would you drop McCutchen for Meadows or Puig? THanks!
Puig
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
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
Grey
Need saves, parker alvarado or brach ros
Thanks mate
Parker
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
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
Grey, is Musgrove a must add? Over Tailon, Soroko, Meada or EROD.
Strausburg
Kershaw – DL
Nola
Bundy
Caleb Smtih
Soroka
SMarte Newcomb
Or
Goldy Romero
In a keeper
Goldy, maybe fair tho
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
