Joey Gallo, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo walk into a bar. The bar says, “Ow.” There should be an All-Star Game weekend festivity where Gallo, Judge and Giancarlo hit home runs and people guess how far it went, but they guess in miles. “I’m gonna say that went 4.5 miles.” “Ooh, sorry, there’s no such number as ‘point.’ You don’t win a house.” Gallo doesn’t hit mammoth shots. Mammoth shots hit home runs and say, “That was a Gallo shot.” Have you seen one of his homers? Picture a ball sailing about 550 feet and screaming, “Holy crap, how am I getting back home?” Home run balls he hits call Uber after Gallo hits ’em. So, I’m obviously a fan, and Beltre doesn’t even have a return date yet. This might be one of those situations where Beltre is gone for another month and, even when he returns, Gallo just moves to the outfield. It’s slightly ridiculous he’s available in so many leagues, and I’d remedy that. Immediatemente. That’s immediately in Spanish. I did take 13 years of Spanish, after all. You’re gracias. Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
BUY
Austin Hedges – On the team where I drafted Hedges, I have an 0-for-18 from Hedges, then I dropped him for Travis d’ohArmnooooo, who went 1-for-8, and he was gone for Sandy Leon, who went 0-for-3, and bye-bye to Alex Avila, who went 1-for-5 with a homer, but I dropped him too for Tony Wolters, who is hitting .500 on my team in 12 at-bats and who I’m now holding until prolly, I don’t know, tomorrow. My point? I should’ve just Ron Popeil’d my catcher and Set it and Forget It with Hedges, instead I’ve been picking my catcher scab and it has not worked out at all.
Cody Bellinger – I just gave you my Cody Bellinger fantasy. It was written while keepin’ it hundred.
Mitch Moreland – There’s a chance here that Moreland is still not owned in leagues, because some of the people in fantasy leagues, between their drafts and the season starting, were playing freeze tag and it didn’t work out well for them. They’re frozen with pigeons landing on them and doing poos, but if people aren’t frozen grab Moreland.
Yulieski Gurriel – Is he now going by Yuli? If I were him, I would’ve changed my name to Yuliesnowboard. Any hoo! Gurriel has been hot recently, though legit not doing much but getting base-knocks, which I guess is enough.
Kolten Wong – I know I’m not the only one having this problem. I go to waivers and I look for free agents. I really need a middle infielder, but all I see is a bunch of corner infidels. On one team, I’m currently rocking Mitch “Don’t Kill My Vibe” Moreland, Anthony “The Suck” Rendon, Torenado, Mini Donkey, Travis Phshaw, and Jose “Nearly As Sucky As Rendon” Abreu and every time I look at waivers there’s still more corner men, but middle infielders are like, “Um, well, I guess Wong’s playing.”
Hernan Perez – When Perez went off the other day, I was in a Consumer Value Store (CVS, to those not in the know). I saw Perez was heating up right as an old lady asked me, “Sonny, could you help me get down a box of Wheat Thins?” I was like, “I’m not Sonny Gray, and here!” I threw the box at her while I was picking up Hernan Perez on my phone. That’s how quick I need to react when players get hot. How is Hernan still available in your leagues? Don’t you need to get guys crazy fast? I have a deal with Prospector Ralph (who did a great job covering for me this morning, because I had a friend in from Dubai). When someone needs to be picked up, we text each other and I literally stop everything and grab guys. This is Prospector Ralph the other day, “Cody Bellinger called up.” Nothing else! That’s it! And I screeched to the side of the highway, and grabbed him in all my leagues. Well, all leagues except the league I’m in with PR.
Ryon Healy – Okay, not hot, but I still have faith like Edward Norton in that movie I thought was about Billy Joel.
Taylor Motter – I almost made Motter the lede this week, but as I started doing a long string of “Yo Motter” jokes — Yo Motter is so fat her blood type is gravy! — I thought about how we want to highlight baseball skills and not Catskills. I’m sorry, Motter, I never meant to hurt you. I never meant to make you cry, but tonight, I’m cleanin’ out my light-power, light-speed composite.
Christian Arroyo – Here’s what I said previously about Arroyo, “This year, he led Triple-A with a .446 average, which was being bolstered, oh, just a tad, by his .481 BABIP. He’s got little pop and less speed. Man, where do the Giants find these guys? It’s like Matt Duffy was traded away by the Giants, and, on his way out the door, he took a massive dump, and Sabean watered that for nine months and now they have Arroyo.” And that’s me quoting me!
Tim Beckham – So hizzot it’s ridunkulous. So hizzot I can’t even talk like a normal person. I’m jibber-jabbering!
Amed Rosario – The other day Lenny Dykstra posted a video saying the Mets should call up Amed to spark their offense, and, for a guy that was likely on serious drugs and within a few hours of ending up in prison again, he was making sense. The Mets need a spark.
David Peralta – You need to platoon him out when the D-Backs face lefties, because Peralta tends to sit vs. them, but he’s been good enough vs. righties that he’s worth owning.
Delino DeShields – The Dentist says, “Aaaaaaaahh…” and it’s less like “Aaaaaaaahh, that hurts really bad; don’t you have nitrous I can suck into my face,” and more like, “Aaaaaaaahh, all right let’s see something because I picked you back up.”
Michael Conforto – Now that Cespedes strained a hammy in one of his hundred legs, Conforto will be a starter for the foreseeable future. If he makes good on his promise for the next, say two-three weeks, then Conforto will be one of those guys people look back on in September as someone they wished they owned. If you can find room for him, do it, as Ben Stiller said in that awful movie. No, not that awful one, the other awful one. No, not the Billy Joel one with Edward Norton.
Kevin Pillar – I grabbed him a couple weeks ago when he was hot, and have held him because he’s stayed productive. In a way, he’s set up shop on my team. I guess, considering Pillar, he’s more become a statue of sorts.
Aaron Altherr – You know the place Parts Unknown? No, of course you don’t! It’s Parts Unknown! It’s in the name! But, with that in mind, for Reasons Unknown, the Phils sometimes play Saunders and Nava and not Altherr, but, like a fireman would say, the latter has been hot.
Jarrod Dyson – SAGNOF!
Scott Schebler – If you’ve been reading Razzball for a minute, which is actually a long time according to the Urban Dictionary, then you know Schebler was on a bunch of my deeper league teams last year because Steamer loved him for years. Yeah, well, as you can imagine, I didn’t draft Schebler this year. Fool me once shame on you! Fool me twice–Wait, by not drafting him this year, I have been fooled twice, haven’t I? What if you don’t know you’ve been fooled twice? Is there a saying for this, George Bush?
Hector Neris – This is weird (not funny or interesting). Neris is owned in 13% less leagues than Brad Brach. I know there’s Joaquin Benoit in Philly, but there’s a commoner of the British empire in Baltimore that will definitely replace Brach. I told you weird, but not funny or interesting.
Matt Bush – If you could read between the lines of my previous blurb, you’ll realize Bush is also owned in less leagues than Brach. Oh em gee, I just realized something! There’s lots of elderly women playing fantasy baseball and Brach reminds them of hard candies. That might also be why Gausman is owned in so many leagues still, because their husbands have random cuts that they can’t explain and have wrapped themselves in gauze. Wait again! That might be why that woman in CVS said, “Wheat Thins–Did you say Hernan Perez is hot?!”
Shawn Kelley – The day before Koda Glover was injured, I put in a $30 FAAB bid on him. Yeah, I won that bid, and now I’m out $30. *pats self on back with sword*
Bud Norris – Appears locked into the Angels’ closer role. Yes, that is as sad as it sounds.
J.J. Hoover – The Diamondbacks’ closer shituation is a total mess. Hoover sounds like he sucks and/or blows, Rodney sounds like he gets no respect, and George of the Roses sounds like a B&W professional wrestler, which is good until you think about how wrestling wasn’t ‘cool’ until the 1980s and how freakin’ sad a 1950’s wrestler must be. George of the Roses probably chilled with George Reeves and they talked about how they wanted to commit suicide. How depressing, nice to see you, now please leave. I’d back up Rodney with Hoover, but I have no faith in this shituation.
Hyun-Jin Ryu – The Stream-o-Nator is willing to give Ryu another chance, and I don’t think it’s simply because the Stream-o-Nator is lonely and cuts pictures of people out of magazines and talks to them.
Ty Blach – I like Blach in NL-Only leagues, and the Stream-o-Nator likes him for his next start, like it enjoys talking to toll collectors for a few minutes until people start beeping.
SELL
Adrian Gonzalez – Most of my sells are about trading and ‘being a salesman at a car dealership and wheeling-slash-dealing.’ Um, yeah, in shallower leagues, A-Gon can likely be dropped. Or maybe added to another trade as a sweetener, like how fructose is a sweetener that causes diabetes.
Chris Davis – Grey’s cleaning out his power 1st basemen composites! Unlike A-Gon, I’d try to get something for Chris Davis, but I think the days of getting something you actually want in return might be over. I don’t know, try it and let me know how it goes (don’t tell me).
Julio Teheran – Something’s wrong with Teheran. Maybe it’s the Muslim ban. Did his fastball get stuck in customs? Asking for a friend, if I were friends with Teheran. His fastball is way down, his Ks are bleh and his xFIP is 5.20. Okay, trouble. I wouldn’t sell Teheran for a ticket to see Danny Pintauro’s one man show, “I’m Now The Boss!” But I would explore options.
Gallo or Bergman?
Head to head league
@Adam: Bregman
Shoemaker is on waivers. Do I give up Conforto or Bellinger for him or do drop J Ross or Manaea? It’s a daily category league, so extra pitchers help. I could use another pitcher but don’t want to regret dropping a break out hitter. If I knew whether or not Bellinger was staying would help a lot.
I’d lose Manaea for him
Thanks for the recommendations, Grey. Please rank Ryu, A. Wood, J. Garcia and Triggs. Thanks!
No problem, Wood, Garcia, Ryu, but depends on matchups
Thanks! Have a great weekend.
You too!
Poor Sandy Leone, in last place behind a maker of classic spaghetti westerns and an Indian porn star turned Bollywood music video dancer for “most entertaining person named S. Leone”
On a more relevant topic, do you think DeShields and Gallo pose any risk that Mazara’s going to get platooned against lefties?
HA… Yeah, Mazara’s in trouble, slumping’s not helping
Perfect timing! I’ve been making bedroom eyes at Gallo in my OBP OPS keeper for a while, dealing with The Suck at 3B, staring at a recently dropped Frazier and Gallo on the wire while I patiently await waivers on Sunday.
Seriously considering grabbing $5 Gallo over $13 Frazier – both are doing the low average good walk rate thing, but Gallo is doing it a lot better!
Am I crazy? No, I’m not asking you, imaginary Nicholas Cage from Faceoff! And stop doing that face waterfall thing with your hand to me!
Haha…I think it’s slightly crazy not to just go Frazier, but could work out for you in short term
@Grey: Thanks. Something about those 500 foot dongs! Probably not sustainable, but Gallo’s been hitting .212 but somehow maintaining a plus-to-elite .360 obp. Frazier never sniffed that or its corresponding OPS even when he hit .270 27/20.
I hear ya, but Frazier gets his dongs too
@Grey: Yeah – frazier it is!
Deal Duffy and either Britton or Melancon for Darvish? Thanks
Yeah, either, Britton first
HTH points league. I am getting impatient with C Correa. Would I be crazy to offer him for J. Ramirez? Right now J. Ramirez has doubled Correa’s points. If not Ramirez, who should I target? (hitter).
Thanks Grey
Yeah, crazy
5×5 roto, time todrop rendon
# of teams matters more, but nah, not yet
Shaw or Gallo?
roto 5×5
Shaw
Adam Jones and Abreu dropped in a shallow h2h OBP league. Think they can have a good ROS?
Yeah, I’d own both
@Warren Loegering: WTH? Adam Jones isn’t even off to a bad start.
@Pousse-Pousse: I know, I was shocked. Dude is stacked in the OF so maybe he couldn’t find any takers for a trade.
Afternoon grey!!!
H2H points/ weekly league.
Lost cespedes to the dreaded DL, upon putting cespedes in my DL who to add at OF? Available Jason Heyward, David peralta, Hernan Perez (available at both 3b & OF me likey), mister hunter pence, pillar, the scheb ; Scott schebler, Max Kepler lastly parra too.
Here are my OFs we start 4 Harper , cespedes (DL), schwarber, benintendi, then at utility slots I have Souza & Judge. My C willson contreras is also eligible at OF on my bench Margot & conforto.
Next dump my cozart for tim Beckham? If no what about either solarte, motter who’s only at SS maybe will gain OF soon? WHat abou yuli Guerrero he’s eligible 1b & 3b.
Thanks have a great weekend!!
I like Peralta a lot, but he’s vs. a lefty today…Hernan for today… Yeah, lose Cozart for Motter…. You too!
@Grey: is an “afternoon grey” like a “nooner”? Asking for a friend.
HA
Number of days left that someone asks about dropping Rendon?
Zero
@Grey: He’s not going off tonight. 0-11 against Degrom.
I take it Rudy’s not into Led Zeppelin. Would have guess’d a “Gallow’s Pole” reference. Swinging from….oh forget it!
Ha, I don’t get that reference at all, but I think Rudy would… Yeah, Rendon’s on my bench yet again, what a miserable bastard Rendon is
@Grey: Haha. Dude, Led Zeppelin! You’re so not rock ‘n roll…
I’m not, I don’t know one song by them other than Stairway and without Google I’m not 100% sure that’s them
@Grey: That’s amazing.
Go rock out a little:
https://youtu.be/FP1BDW_Iqm4
The picture on that video looks like a hairy anus
@Grey: You would know what that looks like.
Haha… I’m simply imagining it! Wait, what? Forget it…
@Cram It: I’ve dropped Gallo’s Pole lyrics in the comments a few times last year. Glad to know someone else is in my same headspace
@Grey: Haha
Conforto on WW.Only real drop is Ender.Would be the only bench guy,rotating in the UT spot according to [email protected]Cram It: That’s what I was thinking at first, but I’m a Nats fan and I bet this pouty little Nance was hating the flight back to DC.He might put the bong down for a few days and go on a streak.
I’d hold for now
@hondo: Browser barfed.The first part was going to be a question.
Conforto on WW.Only real drop is Ender.Would be the only bench guy,rotating in the UT spot according to matchups.Meh or yeah?
@hondo: Thanks.Have a good weekend.
You too!
Right above, someone asked…Sigh… I have him in our RCL b/c you said something in the RCL chatroom on draft day about not having him anywhere, and I thought to myself, “Hey, I don’t either,” so I drafted him…
@Grey: I actually said I have him anywhere! I was saying he was such good value as my starting 3B because he was being completely ignored. He’s on 4 of my 5 teams.
Oh, crap, I knew you said something… Yeah, I wish you would’ve just drafted him!
@Grey: He will come around with a vengeance! He didn’t hit his first HR last year until May 3rd. I still ain’t worried yet.
Yeah, I’m annoyed but great lineup and am waiting on him
Which side? 16-Team 5×5 league.
Kershaw/Story or Duffy/Machado
Kershaw/Story/Dickerson or Duffy/Machado/Piscotty
Story…Story
Hello, sir. Could you rank these gentlemen ROS per a league with IP and K/9 in lieu of K:
– Herrera
– Bush
– Kelley
Thankee. Enjoy the company of your friend.
Bush, Kelvin
@Grey: Dayum, Kelvin done fell far, eh?
I assume you would put Iglesias behind all these fools?
I would
Drop gyorko for arroyo? (I’ve dropped& picked up gyorko so many times he’s like a human basketball)
Sure, try it
The Mets became a force to be reckoned with about 2 years earlier than expected, and they became the Mets again about 2 years earlier than expected. This has be an absolutely brutal 2 weeks as a fan.
And for Lenny Dykstra
@Grey: Live from South Dakota where he’s getting new teeth implants! Can’t make this stuff up!
HA… He’s also selling a signed bat on eBay, strange!
Oh, it’s not a baseball bat, it’s an actual bat, the animal
@Grey: Haha!
Souza or Corey Dickerson ROS
Head to head league
Dickerson
Ya the corner infield is balls deep.
I have arenado and moustakas with Hanram at first
He has goldschmidt and ee with Gallo at third
Arenado for goldschmidt?
Sure, it’s fair
Trade Dyson and Castellanos
For
Conforto and Gallo in a roto keeper league?
Sure
Archie bradley apparently moving to the rotation – good peripherals so far this season
Agreed, pitching in rotation vs. bullpen are different things tho
Great timing on Schebker blurb. I asked about him on your previous post but too late for a reply. I have several “buys” in my shaky OF. Could he be a contributor in a ten cat league with this group…Dahl, Dyson, Hernan, Conforto, Parra, Heyward. Who would go?
I’d lose Parra out of Coors
@Grey:
Big time props to you this week……you told me to pick up Hernan, Conforto and Schebler. Now that is a week!
Grey, should i keep Bedroisian on bench? I got Norris and both dl slots full with Miggy and Dahl.
Yeah
When do I panic about trumbo?
Perez or Bellinger? h2h
Now…Perez
Schimpf or Wong for my second 2B. We start 2 at each inf spot. Am good on power, dead last in AVG.
Also, grab Odorizzi after Mortons stream tonite?
Thanks amigo
Wong… yeah Odorizzi
Need an outfielder after cespedes goes down
Dickerson
Conforto
Schebler
Peralta
Motter
Ellsbury
Kepler
Dickerson/Peralta
@Grey: does Dickerson sit vs lefties?
He’s got 2-3 lefties to face next week
Nope, just down lineup…. go Peralta tho if favorable matchups
@Grey:
Peralta ([email protected], [email protected]) 2 lefties for sure and scherzer
Dickerson (4vsMIA, 3vs TOR) 3 lefties
Just need for 1 week till Desmond is 100%
Dickerson
@Grey:
Thanks Greylord. You really are the best in the biz. Have a killer weekend
You too!
Got offered Dozier for Hanley and Rendon. Do I take it?
Or do I counter with Rendon/Schoop or Rendon/Margot or Rendon/Peraza?
Counter with Schoop
@Grey:
Rejected the couner w/ Schoop
Try Margot, but doubt it
@Grey:
nope, didn’t happen haha. Still debating on accepting with Hanley but not sure I want to do that. Hanley counting stats likely too high to give up. Agree?
Yeah, likely hold there
I’ve given the Hoover a try before, and I will tell you that it wasn’t nearly as satisfying as I hoped. Tehol can probably back me up.
Hahaha
Arroyo or Devon Travis? :(
Arroyo for now
@Grey: …and Arroyo over Gregorius?
Yeah for now
Trying to trade for Gallo in OBP/SLG league, but the guy is asking for Nola and Hendricks. Too much, right? (Gallo would be my Util behind Seager and Bregman at 3B and IF)
Too much
Hernan Perez, Eduardo Nunez, or Aledmys Diaz. Which one gets cut?
Diaz
in a 12 team h2h weekly points league -1 for a K my OF and Utility spot goes as follows .. Polanco, piscotty, thames, calhoun, odubal, dickerson and chris davis. We start 3 OF and a U guy btw…Who if ANY would you drop from this group for conforto, schebler, moreland, margot, kepler, parra or hernan perez ? thx for the suggestion Grey !! Have a great weekend brotha !! oh PS pick up eickhoff and drop pomeranze, lackey, joe ross?
Thanks! Calhoun for Moreland..drop Pom
also, Hamels for Just Dong?
gracias
Do it
Is it going to be Deli-NOOO, or Delin-OOO? I might have to possibly consider picking him back up over Broxton, Joey Batsh*t crazy bad start, or Kole Calhoun Tubbs, like to hear it, hear it go!
Calhoun
Drop Gsellman for Blach, Jaime, Kuhl or Koehler?
Blach indeed, but you need to stream
Trumbo and Morales are available because of slumps – Trumbo, Morales, or Conforto?
That order
Ian Desmond hit a HR in his first AB in extended ST today. Beat writer says he was playing LF and 1B and could be back in the lineup as early as Sunday vs ARI. : ) : ) : )
Nice!
@demribbies: Oh, damn, let him be back in the lineup as early as sunday!!
h2h Points League
Hedges or Weiters
Bench Peraza for Arroyo next week?
@stu:
edit: bench Peraza for Arroyo or Motter?
Motter
Hedges… sure next week go Arroyo
Hernan or castelanos ops league
Hernan
Delino starting in LF tonight and Jose Abreu out with the ole hip/groin combo..
Thanks!
@Grey:
Altuve and Springer are baaack..
Devin Mesoraco is starting at catcher and batting seventh for the Reds.
It’s a weird time to be alive!
@Grey:
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..
Haha
@Grey: have a great weekend!
You too!
Trade question as I’m driving from Vegas to LA driving with my knee whole I text…
I’ve been offered Teheran for my Neftali. I have 4 closers? One of which is Cam. I’m 2nd place in Saves and just traded Strasburg and Cole for a couple of bats.
Was about to accept until I read your buy on Teheran. Accept trade of pickup from WAIVERS…. erod or Ryu?
I’d get a different SP… Be safe!
Correa is my starter. I don’t need Peraza @ 2B as I have Kipnis/Cesar. However I do need backup SS. would you curb Peraza for Hernan Perez (I think he needs 1 game started for SS yahoo elg) or Beckham?
@lyricist: …Or are all of the available fools a mute point for backups since I intend to go down burning in the fire with Correa?
Meh
@Grey: I concur
ROS pts league: Rendon or Gallo?
Rendon
Grey- Need to get my team going in NFBC 15 teamer. Sucky hitters- Joyce/Grandy/Trumbo. Available bats: Davidson/Bellinger/Arroyo/Valbuena/Plouffe/Bird/Heredia/Beckham. Would you drop 1 or both for whom ? $$ Bids ?
Own Iglesias/Casilla/Rodney/Rosenthal as my (gulp) closers. Available pitchers: Hoover/Miranda/Feldman/Zimmerman. Thinking Hoover for Rosenthal with Miranda/Feldman underneath. Don’t trust Zim. Since I own (unfortunately) Rodney, thinking $55 for Hoover, and $15/$7 for Miranda/Feldman.
Help ! Thanks
@Andrew Edenbaum: Bellinger also available, and he does play o.f. which I will need with Soler out another 2 weeks.
Bellinger over Joyce… Hoover over Rosie… $31…$41
@Grey: Keep Grandy over all of those available bats ? Arroyo/Davidson/Bird/valbuena/Plouffe/Beckham/Heredia ? Bad enough Trumbo is killing me, Grandy will eventually lose a.b.’s. $$ Bids ?
Are these bats that interesting to you? I guess Beckham for a couple of dollars, but I like Grandy long term, so if you have to drop Grandy, hold
Pick up Gallo for Healy?
Sure
Grey!!!
Nice buy-sell column!!!
Only have 8 of the ‘buy’ guys mentioned above.
a. Hedges – dropped him too after that 0/25 then picked him back up after the 2-HR night and have not looked at any other catcher since.
b. Hernan Perez after you told me to drop Toles for him. Only he wasn’t available in THAT RCL he was available in THE OTHER RCL!!! Anyway, I got him where he was available. He will suck from here to eternity fur sure!
c. Healy, well I drafted him everywhere. He’s been mostly pukish. Hopefully things will improve.
d. Beckham because he’s hot and Aledmys is not. I’ll keep him in there until Aledmys does something.
e. DeShields Jr., because well I have his father’s Donruss 1989 rookie card which I hold up to DeShields Jr.’s face when he goes up to bat against an opposing pitcher to encourage him to be as good as his Pa. I told myself this year that I would not follow live games to save time to do other important things (like sleeping, looking for a better job or spending extra quality time with the family) because it really doesn’t matter if I watch the game or not. The result will not be altered by me watching or willing someone to hit a HR or strike out a batter.
f. Schebler – Only have him on one team. His batting average is putrid so there’s that too.
g. Neris – a recent acquisition though I remember him from last year and he’s been as good or better this year.
h. Hoover – picked him today reading all the comments from PR’s write-up this AM. He could take over and he could emulate 2016 Hoover which was like opening up the Hoover dam!
Cheers,
Ante
E. Haha D. Nice A. I wish I did…h. Damn
Thoughts on E. Suarez for J. Bell in 16-team, OPS?
Hold
When can I start referring to Trevor Story as “The Never Hitting Story”? Another Month?
Ugh
Which side of solarte beltre are you taking in a standard league?
Beltre
I can’t keep a healthy first baseman. First Miggy, then Duda, now Freese. Drop Freese for Beckham?
Sure
for those thinking of rolling the dice on Maeda today the weather may be in his favor? The wind should be blowing in around 15 MPH. Given his home run troubles that’s at least encouraging? Although i’m sure I will wake up to another 4.2 IP 5 runs 3 walks and 3 K game
Can we please form a prayer Octagon!!?
@Pager24: Yeah seriously… I’m with you. Need Maeda to be 2016 Maeda!!!
I’m streaming him
Desmond apparently hit a HR in his first AB today and played 7 innings. Think he gets activated early enough next week to be worth starting in weekly leagues over someone like a Schreber or Broxton?
Yup
Thanks for the advice Grey!
I have a suggestion for some buys. If in a league with a deep bench, owning both Brewers’ catchers has been amazing!!!!!!
I picked up Manny and Jett after D’Arnaud went down and it’s made a huge difference. I’ve never had such a great catcher situation. Of course, I’m sure it won’t last…
Have a great weekend…good luck with all your teams!
– Big W
Ha, thanks! You too!
Keep Grandy ave available bats: Davidson/Arroyo/Bird/Plouffe/Valbuena/Beckham/Heredia ? $ Bids on any of these guys for Grandy, who looks terrible and has Conforto breathing down his neck.
Replied back in other thread
When last we spoke I left you with “two knocks and two bags” for The Dentist and so it came to pass. He’s drawn the leadoff spot again vs Skaggs. I offer no prediction today, but do have a question: have you seen “Eversmile, New Jersey?” Now that’s an odd flick.
let me help you out by putting the sell in gSELLman. Huge velo drop. Shoulder to the elbow says DL.
Keep eyeballing Yonder. He’s stinging the ball.
Have a good weekend, Herr Albrecht and to you too razzcolytes.
Daniel Day Lewis? Wow, hadn’t heard of it, he’s always good though… That’s a random flick, for sure… Yeah, Gsellman’s a drop
Hey man
Looking to trade Paxton and bundy for hitting
Who would you target for those 2? Punting wins and ks and going for saves era and whip with chapman, Jansen, Kimberl, allen and diaz
Thanks
A top 50 bat
Deshizz leading off again today. If he leads off tomorrow against RHP it’s going to be a FAABy FAABy evening.
HA
Sorry Grey, Bellinger drafted in the 29th round. Available bats: Davidson/Arroyo/Bird/Valbuena/Plouffe/Beckham/Heredia for 1) Joyce; 2) Grandy ? $ Bids ?
Thanks again Grey.
Answered the 1st two times you posted, no?
@Grey: You said Bellinger for Joyce, but i just noticed Bellinger unavailable, so comes down to Arroyo/Davidson/Plouffe/Valbuena/Beckham/Bird/Heredia. For Joyce ? I heard you on Grandy. I’ll just leave him on my bench for now.
How would you rank for Joyce with Bellinger unavailable ? If any.
Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again.
Oh, I see… hmm… Arroyo, Bird, Joyce… but I wouldn’t bid more than $11
@Grey: Thanks bro. Have a great So. Cal weekend. I live in Encinitas. Any time you want to play a round or better yet, sit 2nd row over 1st base at Petco, I’ll make it happen.
Thanks, man!
@Grey: For real. I’ve had season tickets for 35 years. Great bunch of people in section 111.
That’s nice of you, if I get down to SD at some point, I might take you up on it!
Conforto is my only LF. Have bellinger, he’ll be LF elligable real soon. Still go with Hernan Perez over bellinger? h2h points.
Oh, you need to hold then, right?
@Grey: love Perez’ position flex. But there’s no knowing if conforto is gonna keep getting playing time?
Also I have goldy, miggy, and Zimmerman. How does Zimmerman and darvish for Thames sound? Darvish too much?
Conforto may not continue to get playing time in 3 weeks… I’d take Darvish
@Grey: what if I could get Joe Ross or urias too?
Tonight. Odor vs. Skaggs? Or Cesar vs maeda?
Thanks man.
Urias, I like… Odor
aaron sanchez or VV ? standard roto
VV
Grey! Do you think Mark Reynolds will continue to be an asset for the year?
Also, what’s your outlook on Trumbo? Prime buy low guy?
Reynolds will struggle to find PT when Desmond returns — Trumbo is buy low
Conforto over Avisail?
Meh
1) Piecing together saves. Have Kelley, Norris. Need to pick up potential closers. Thinking Hoover and either Grilli or JWilson. Can you rank those three?
2) If I pick up one (or two) of those guys, I need to drop two. Potential drops are HIll, Miley, Forsythe, Kepler, Pillar, Grichuk. Please pick the first two to drop.
Thanks. Have a great weekend.
1. Hoover, Grilli 2. Hill, Miley
Drop Vogelbach or Benoit or both for Hernan, Deshields, or Schlebler? Need hitting.
Sure, Hernan, Delino
Could you rank these guys ROS in a QS league? Thanks!
McCullers
Fulmer
Keuchel
Severino
Paxton
Salazar
Bundy
Paxton, Keuchel, Salazar
Grey,

-Gallo’s large dong pole
Haha, thanks, OSB!
Grey,
1. Hedges or S Perez
2. Hernan or Dickerson?
3. Hernan or Rendon?
Thanks!
Perez…Dickerson…Rendon
Would you want them in this order in terms of who you’d want to own in a Saves only league? Ironically, I think the list is in reverse in terms of skill. : /
Maurer
Norris
Joe Wilson
Rosenthal
Maurer, Norris
Who’s side you taking with desmond close? Desmond or cueto?
Cueto
I was going to hold Rendon, but after I saw his eastbound and down jerry curl mullet I dropped him in disgust. Don’t let the door hit ya on the way out!
Welcome aboard Gallo! Can I fetch you an iced tea? Perhaps a watermelon, lemon, and gin cocktail? That’s a fine jaw line you have. Tell me again how far your home runs go.
Thanks for the advise Grey, enjoy the weekend!
HA! You too!
@Grey: weekly root redraft. Polanco for Duffy and Giles. Which side? Close?
Polanco, it’s close
1. is this the best order for saves:
hoover/biagini/grilli/rosie (oh’s been fine for at least 3 straight saves now)
2. in a different league if i have doolittle/norris/bedrosian (DL)/capps/osuna/feliz/parker (who i’m dropping with my last drop of week for something at some point)
is it worth dropping doolittle for biagini?
1. Hoover, Grilli 2. Why Biagini? Did I miss something?
@Grey: he’s been a LOT better than grilli anyway. i didn’t read anything specific though.
He has been better, but Grilli is setup man, and Osuna is still there
Grey,
Two questions:
1) My three starting pitchers tonight are Scherzer at home vs NYM, Lance Lynn at home vs CIN, and Maeda at home vs PHI. Besides Mad Max, would you start either Lynn or Maeda?
2) Looking to grab another arm or a bat. CHoices at pitcher are Matt Cain, Derek Holland, Folty
hitters: Freese, Nava, Dat Dude, Aoki, Yonder Alonso, Gennett
1. Start all three 2. Folty
would you drop Dyson, or will he get the closer job back
Drop him
when is britton coming off the DL? I heard either Sunday or Tuesday
Sunday
should I drop Dyson now, or wait until Britton comes off Sunday and then drop him
Can drop Dyson now
Hey Grey!
15 team 5 x 5 roto. Going well but low in saves.
Been offered Colome for either of my Piscotty or JBJ…
Fair? Too much? Too early in season to pay for saves? SAGNOF…?
Thanks as always!!
Too much
@Grey: Thanks v much. I will look elsewhere…!
No problem
similar question:
3. in a 16 teamer with holds and saves (sold separately), i have rivero/betances/koji/norris/familia/bearclaw (and glover on DL). drop anybody (possibly koji, but CUBS will likely end up with many holds) for hoover? clearly norris gets dropped later whether when glover is back or when bedrosian is anyway.
3. Meh
I hope Motter does poorly, goes cold, you tell everyone to drop him then he gets crazy hot makes the lede and you (Rudy) titles it “Welcome Back Motter”
Haha, that’s solid
@J-FOH: It’s a pity he’s not a Cub, ‘cos then we could work in something about a note from Epstein’s mother.
Yo Grey!
12 team H2H keeper league with OBP. Need to pick up someone with Cespedes hitting the DL.
Dickerson, Moreland, or Conforto?
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Moreland, you too!
Arroyo or Motter ROS?
@Jim: motter.
Motter
14 team H2H points league. How would you rank these SP for the ROS? Wheeler, Ryu, A. Wood, Folty. Thank you sir.
Wood, Folty
10 team Yahoo H2H 7×7
R, H, HR, RBI, SB, BB, AVG
W, L, SV, K, ERA, WHIP, QS
Okay my opponent has the following starts left: C. Anderson vs. ATL, McCarthy vs. PHI and Keuchel vs. OAK and I’m currently down by 1 win, tied in losses, down by 1 K, and barely leading in ERA & WHIP 4.58 – 4.86 & 1.37 – 1.53 respectively.
For the rest of the week I’m looking at the following start options out of the guys I own and they’re marked with an asterisk*. I included all the other available pitchers to give you an idea of who my opponent could potentially stream last minute as well. So they all starts the rest of the week given my matchup situation?
4/28
Ray vs. COL (22.9)*
Carrasco vs. SEA (13.4)*
Lynn vs. CIN (12.6)*
4/29
Ryu vs. PHI (20.1)
Liriano vs. TB (9.8)
Garcia @MIL (0.1)
Gausman @NYY (-4.1)
Nelson vs. ATL (-4.4)
Nova @MIA (-7.3)*
Chavez @TEX (-12.3)
Lackey @BOS (-18.6)*
4/30
Corbin vs. COL (4.5)
J. Ross vs. NYM (1.5)
Wheeler @WSH (-12.4)
I like your starts plus Ross, Ryu and Lynn
@Grey: Okay thanks I’ll be rolling with those guys the rest of this week but here’s the thing I only have one add left for the week!
1) So should I use it to stream/add one of Ryu or Ross and if so who should I drop?
2) Or should I use my last add to replace either Brach or Betances for which of the following RPs? Neris, Kelley, B. Norris, Rosenthal, Benoit? I mean we’re tied in Saves at the moment so if I can pickup some saves the next two days and win another category that’d be ideal! I guess if I’m gonna roster 3 RPs on my team then which 3 should I own? Or should I only roster 2 relievers and instead us that roster spot for a SP streamer? My staff looks like this:
(3) SP: Carrasco, McCullers, Duffy
(2) RP: Johnson, Brach
(4) P: Betances, Nova, Severino, Walker
(6) Bench: Ray, Lackey, Graveman, Urias, Lynn
10 team Yahoo H2H 7×7

“Or should I only roster 2 relievers and instead us that roster spot for a SP streamer?” Yes
1. Ryu
@Grey: Got it thanks! So I’ll worry about my RPs next week when my adds reset but for now I’ll plan to use my final add to stream Ryu so I guess I’m dropping Betances? Or let go of one of my SPs?
10 team Yahoo H2H 7×7

Available RPs: Neris, Kelley, B. Norris, Rosenthal, Benoit, Madson, Doolittle
Lackey
@Grey: Oh wait so you think I should start Nova @MIA (-7.3) and Lackey @BOS (-18.6) on Saturday? Tied in Wins now and if Ray gets this Loss then I’ll be losing in Losses 5-2 … up by 20 K’s now and still leading in ERA & WHIP: 4.35-4.99 & 1.29 – 1.54 while my opponent will still have McCarthy vs. PHI, Keuchel vs. OAK and even A. Sanchez vs. TB over the weekend.
No, Lackey is terrible there… Nova should be fine
@Ebudz: FYI McCarthy starting for the dodgers on Saturday the 29th.
@Fred Garvin MP: Oh gotchya good call out! SON has Ryu going on 4/29 so that’s what I referenced. Looks like he goes Sunday instead. Thanks
Would you start aaron sanchez on sunday vs tb? This is an innings cap league so i am looking for 6 innings so he can get a qs. Who would you cut to activate him: lynn, bundy, margot, almedys diaz or andrus. Btw, i’m playing andrus over diaz now. Thanks
@Scott: knowing the actual amount of innings is probably useful here. if it’s smaller a good rule is probably not not use a guy just off DL.
Sure, Andrus
Drop Brad Miller for Motter (SS spot only)?
Miller
@Grey: Start Motter vs Carrasco or Miller vs Stroman?Both at cleanup tonight.
Motter
@hondo: Ehh NM-Cleveland’s looking like a short game or delay.
@hondo: Thanks,waiting on last minute weather update since I didn’t get a chance to do my own homework today.
Ugh
I own Judge and Gallo but also grabbed Dickerson and Conforto…
Can you rank them? I’d go Judge, Dickerson, Conforto and Gallo.
Thanks
That looks right
The Jays batting Darwin Barney 2nd tonight.
Woof.
And they seem to have a French film director at catcher. Married to Candice Bergen, right? Cest la Vie.
Hahaha
Who you got ROS, Gallo or Bregman?
Bregman
Who you starting?
Ozuna vs Taillon
Rendon vs DeGrom
Ozuna
@Grey:
Yeah, that was a dumb question…
Rendon is .000 Avg in 11 AB vs DeGrom. Doesn’t seem like the guy he’s gonna bounce back against.
Yeah
12 team head to head, giving Gallo & Teheran to get Bregman? Fair? Or too much?
@NoOneIsHome: Or would trading Rendon & Teheran to get Bregman be the beeter way to go? Tiring on Rendon…..
Works for me
Which way would you go? Give Gallo & Teheran to get Bregman? Or would trading Rendon & Teheran to get Bregman be the better way to go? Thanks again!
Gallo
Peraza will be dropped in the order when hes back in lineup as per manager…. is he a sell or a hold?
@jon: my god I dodged a bullet there. he went for $50 in my batshit crazy softcap auction. speed kills in this example..
Haha
Hold for time being
On the verge of giving up on Bautista. Trumbo has aslo been killing me, but I still have hope.
Some available guys are: Judge, Dickerson, Conforto, Tomas, Mazara, Heyward, Pederson (when off DL). Thoughts on dropping Bautista for any of these guys?
I’d hold a little bit longer
Grey, need to replace Cespedes: Bellinger or Peralta?? Thanks.
Peralta
ROS, Polancoooooo or Trumbooooo?
Polanco, coin flip on needs
Hey Grey, who would you rather have going forward in a keeper league. Boegarts or Correa? Thanks man!
Correa
Didn’t think this one would come up.
Motter or Gyorko ROS?
Motter
@Grey: Crazy they’re both hitting cleanup tonight.
Also just got redirected on Mobil. I’m the lucky winner of a $1000 gift card to Walmart.
Sorry, not sure why that happened, but congrats!
@Grey: Lol. probably because I haven’t been able to trade Arrieta and now I likely won’t be able to. Felt bad for me.
Haha
Grey, who should i start?
Ender at Chase Anderson or Bellinger vs Eichoff
Ender
@Grey: i figured thanks
No problem
Still trying to move Duffy after the last round of Sells. Is Duvall an appropriate target?
Yeah, get Duvall if you can
Catcher update in 3,2,1.
d’ranuad hit a 2 run bomb off of Max..
Oy
Dynasty league, A. Garcuia or Puig? Thanks Grey.
Garcia
Also, which side, keeper, McCullers or Britton? Thanks
McCullers, it’s fair
Which two do you prefer as pickups in a 12 team Yahoo league (w/ Obp and slg):
Heyward
Kepler
bellinger
Kepler, Bellinger
Must make at least 5 of these starts next week.

Musgrove vsTEX
McCullers vsTEX
And separately-what do we do with Mr.Chen? Any reason to do anything but drop him and his working UCL parts for a bat Monday?Would you start him VS TB Monday instead of one of the above?Next day league so he’ll be taking up a spot anyway.
Chen vs TB
@NYM
Chen
McCullers vsTEX
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
@Grey:Thanks,lots of tough calls in that league next week.
Indeed
In the name of SAGNOF would my drop be K-Rod if I need a roster spot for streaming and I have 4 other closers/relievers doing well, or would my drop be Brach when Britton comes back? I have a feeling Britton is going to be Brittle for the rest of the season
Brach when Britton comes back
Meada dropped in a 16 team h2h. Pick him up? Thanks G!
Yeah
Trumbo Sonavabench!
Please tell me I’m not alone.
Hopefully it’s the start of something
@Grey: Sonavabenched by Abreu now too. Though TBF short of waking at 5am I had no way of knowing for sure he’d be starting.
Yeah, I hear ya… was surprised I started him
@Grey: Lackey has underwhelmed somewhat.
You say? Haha
@Grey: But as Murray Chass just told me, the guy sure knows how to win games for his team!
Haha
@Grey: Odor!!!
ODOR!
@Grey: Bellinger! Turner!
I know! Great weekend!
@Stephen Lyon: Me too! We have so much in common…
@royce!: Hey BFF!
Are you in Seattle yet?
thank god for 16 teamers and AL onlies where i had no choice but to continue to start trumbone. to-jo not doing well in that 16 teamer though. only 4 moves a week so not having moved him out just yet.
Nice!
Damn, decisions, decisions: I’m in a league with a weekly roster lock and I own Desmond, Britton, and Brach. The only other reliable closer I have is Jansen. Who do I go with? Do I start Brach or Britton or both? Do I roll out Desmond (assuming he’s not back in the lineup on Sunday, if he is, I start him)?
Britton, but will know more on Sunday
@Grey: FWIW – Britton did not do well in his rehab tonight, but at least he’s “healthy”
@William Hung: Thanks, WH, good to know. I had actually grabbed Brach before Britton was put on the DL due to his early struggles. I was actually hoping they’d take their time bringing him up.
@William Hung: and Brach just blew the hell out of that save opportunity!
Oh wow
Healthy’s all that matters, but he might not be healthy if he didn’t do well
@Mike in Busan: desmond not back next week from anything i’ve seen. supposedly britton is coming back sunday or tuesday.
@Montezuma’s Revenge… right now: NOW there is some news about desmond coming back possibly even tomorrow. just in time for one spot where i probably just lost souzamaphone for a while (possibly long while as far as being useful), and skaggs too.
“Ian Desmond “seems poised” to make his Rockies debut in left field Sunday, per Thomas Harding of MLB.com.
Harding also said Desmond is “in line” to get the start against Diamondbacks southpaw Patrick Corbin, despite no official word from the club”
and remember, at least this isn’t the same guy (i think anyway) that claimed delino was starting from the start of the year (possibly trolling grey in particular)
Nice!
Hey Grey
2 part question
A) If Manaea isnt put on DL do I drop him anyway
B) if I drop or DL him who should i pick up
Shoemaker, Corbin,Straily, E.Rodriguez, Miguel Gonzalez, Samardzja,
Its a 12 team . We use net wins.
Thanks pal
A. Yeah B. I’d look at future matchups, if not possible Shoemaker
@Grey:
Thanks have a good weekend
You too, GD
Hey Grey,
In a 12 team ops league, I want to keep two of Tim Anderson, Didi Gregorius, Kolten Wong and Zack Cozart for my MI/SS slots. Which two?
Didi Gregorius, Kolten Wong
@Grey: Thanks!
1. Start Samardjia v. SD tonight?
2. Hedges or W Castillo?
3. Drop King Felix in 12 team x 32 man roster league?
Thx!
1. I would start anyone vs. the Padres 2. Hedges 3. Yes
So my Hamels for Just Dong was accepted (ty btw. xyz. nkotb)
12 team, roto 5×5, start 2 per INF (cept C), unlimited IP
my roster now
c Hedges
1B Goldy, Moreland
2b Dozierian, Wong
3b Longo, K Seager
SS Russel Polanco
OF K Davis, JBJ, Kepler, Judge, Springer
UTIL Renfroe Enciarte
BN Abreu, JD
DL Dahl
SP McCullers, Cole, Nova, Severino, Wood, Morton, Nola
RP Oh, Giles, Hoover
Am tops in power numbers even with JBJ, Abreu, Seager giving us donuts. Am looking to deal from the OF for P which im hurting in.
I hate to do it but am thinkin Judge might get me the best return out of all of them.
whom should i be targeting?
Only Caitlyn Jenner is more barren than our WW.
Thanks. Have a solid weekend
(Ha)
Judge for Velasquez?
Drop Todd Frazier for either Shaw or Longoria?
Longo
Here’s your next Rendon question!!
10 team H2H points league.
I’ve got Rendon in my utility spot. As I watch him go hitless again I’m thinking about dropping him. I can’t trade him for anything and just getting tired of waiting for him. Schoop and Gallo are available. Am I crazy or should I continue to hold?
Hold for now
@Grey: My first losing streak in a long time. Unless the weekend is amazing for me, this is going to be the first year I went through April without a win. It’s too early to panic right?
Reasons for my lack of success: Maeda, Story, and Rendon are my biggest busts. Ces on DL and Deez Nutz Gordon not tearing up the bases so I’m losing SBs each week. I really want to keep Rendon and Story on the bench, but then that’s 2 bench bats on a 10 team league roster and limits my flex with SP streaming. I already picked up Gallo to replace Rendon for when he turns it around, but I am thinking of picking up Trumbo and dropping Rendon so I can start Trumbo as my UTIL and have Story on my bench.
Story’s season so far reminds me of the year Richie Sexson completely went off the rails (2007), but I feel his upside is a lot higher than Rendon.
Sure, go Trumbo
@Grey: Thanks Grey! With how loyal my leaguemates are with their guys, Rendon is going to be a FA and I’ll just snatch him back up if Gallo sucks.
No problem
12 team H2H Categories
Shaw or H. Perez?
Thanks
Shaw, but apples/oranges
WTF is going on with:
skaggs going out doing very well at like 76 pitches?
familia being yanked from a save after allowing 3 bloopers and then K’ing 2 great hitters in a row with a 2 run lead?
@Eli Man Penguin Boy: gets even more confusing when espn says that both harper K’d against familia and then grounded into double play against edgin (which would be the 4th out)
I know, Familia this is so frustrating
Gurriel, Bellinger, Conforto or Hernan Perez in OBP league? For util spot
@filmmeaway: Which 2 should I own? Its keeper but only 3
Conforto
Bellinger, Conforto
Drop Carlos gomez or beltran for hernan Perez? Or hold?
DRop Devon travis for arroyo? OR hold?
Beltran — Sure
Yo Grey which of these hitters in OBP/SLG do you believe are overperforming their abilities the most right now and would be a good sell-high? Looking to thin out some depth and do a 2 for 1 trade potentially, so pick 2 of them to try to trade.
– Conforto
– Gallo
– Benintendi
– Motter
– Moreland
All 5 are studs but I can only play 2 of them each day since the league is pretty shallow. I still think I should be able to deal 2 of them though to a struggling team to clear up a slot for a pitcher
@Josh: @Josh: All 5 are not studs. actually theyre terrible after benny. You dont need all those bench bats
Conforto, Benintendi
hey grey,
would you still prefer a jake lamb over gallo in a keeper league? does gallo have any hope on bringing up that average or no?
I have gallo in a keeper and thinking of cashing in on the hype, or you think I should hold?
gallo for verlander or strasburg fair?
thanks.
@pickleball: Id want Gallo in a keeper bruh
Yes — Strasburg
no one will touch duffy in my league, what level of pitcher should I expect back if I package him with a Corey Dickerson type OF?
tanaka?
thanks.
Sure, try it
whats up with Taillion? his K:BB ratio is rough.
Struggling, hopefully not hurt
Caesar hernandez or Pedroia
Cesar
Thinking about starting Thames this weekend.
Appreciate your articles, they are always amusing and sometimes informative.
Thanks
Conforto or Kepler
Conforto
Have a UTIL spot available, d’Aurnaud, Motter or Fowler?
Fowler
Avisail, Pillar or Owings in points leagues?
Pillar
Total base and OBP league
Choose two:
Healy, conforto, gurriel
Thanks
Not Gurriel
Shabbat Shalom says the jew(ish) guy using technology on a Saturday
Can’t believe you mention Gausman in the Bush post….god damnit.
I WAS offered Gerrit Cole and Bush for Gausman….which was retracted 2 weeks ago….now I get offered Bush for Gausman stright up….
mmmm bush for gas? Gas for Bush?
SO many perverse ways to go here.
If you are desperate for SP AND RP is it worth losing potential 2nd half Gausman upside for a closer?
Pull the trigger??
Merci merci mon chou chou.
HA — Take Cole
@Grey: it’s now just bush for gausman straight up
I regret not taking cole clearly…
Yeah, damn

Woke up to this trade offer from the 1st place team listed below… His Cano and Piscotty for my Springer and Duffy. What counter offer should I make? I feel like I shouldn’t waste this chance to finally sell Duffy and also it’d be nice if I could consolidate my bats and get rid of my bench bat… what would you counter with considering my team needs?

My team would look like this after and as much as I wanna sell Duffy I’m not sure I want to take on another bench bat?! I was hoping to counter with something that would help me consolidate my bench bat but also make my team better? Sorry to be a pain!

Gotcha, that makes sense… Hey, you know your team better than me, so yeah hold…
@Grey: Yeah that’s why I was hoping to get your advice on what a good counter offer would be ?
@ebudz: Duffy and Hanley for Story?
@Grey: Word okay thanks! It’s a big help to get your trade ideas so I don’t screw myself! However he doesn’t have another SS so I’d probably have to trade him Owings too before he’d even consider giving up Story?…
1) So should I still go after Story or is Duffy + Hanley + Owings too much for Story? Almost wish I could get a SP back too but I doubt he’d give me anyone worth it?
2) Or should I go after Polanco and assume Owings will be fine a ROS SS? Who should I offer for Polanco instead of Story if you think he’s a better trade target?
Send Owings too if he’ll do it

guessing it’s too early (unless of course they keep benching him routinely, hoskins is lurking maybe, he’s available, no NA slots here but no small amount of prospects hoarded in short BN spots) to drop to-jo for any of:
leury/galvis/s.smith/collins/almora (also gets jerked around in playing time, but great batting line)
@I don’t want to brag but i have irritable bowel syndrome: also rosario/osuna
Galvis
I’m thinking of picking up either Pina or Bandy for Russel Martin, because I’d rather three good starts a week than five mediocre (bad) ones.
Who does everyone think has a better shot at putting up good numbers all year (even if they continue to split time)?
Bandy
It’s getting tough to hold Peraza with H. Perez hot and Deshields starting to show up…
I hear ya
Gomez or Gallo ROS 6×6 OPS?
also d’Arnaud, Cervelli, or Hedges 6×6 OPS? (2nd catcher 10 tm lg) And if your answer is Hedges, how much better is he than the other two?
Gallo…. Hedges
Trade Margot for Gallo?
Sure
What would be a good return for Odor?
Thanks
You’re selling low right now
Do you like Matt “the ancient one” Holliday over Bregman, Yuli, Beckham or Pillar?
Given the choice, who do you own?
Bregman
@Grey: any love for Josh Harrison or is he just Schmotatoing?
Schmotato
@Grey: thank you Sir. You are the schmotatomaster.
Bregman is tempting – so ya think It’s early season slump he’ll break out of?
Yeah, Bregman’s too talented not to breakout, methinks
@Grey: our boy abreu comes through big today! (About f’n time!)
I know!
My current pitchers are Johnny Cueto, Danny Duffy, John Lacky, Ivan Nova, Luis Severino, Kendall Graveman, Lance Lynn,and Ian Kennedy with Jon Gray on DL. My bats have been struggling to start the year, so do you think I have enough solid pitching to trade one of my pitchers, maybe even Cueto, for another solid bat?
I don’t, sounds risky
you wouldnt ever drop JBJ for avisail g right?
Nope
drop wellington cast for travis d’arn? OPS league sorry for catcher question
D’Arnaud
I’m looking to do a 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 trade to clear up bats since I have JD and Desmond nearing returns. I have an owner interested in Encarcion or Votto. It’s a 10 team 5×5 league.
1) Any ideas for a trade? On his block are darvish, Justin Turner, yelich, trumbo, darvish, and paxton
2) Also, Rendon is available. Drop him for Gurriel?
My roster:
C posey
1b votto
2b odor
3b franco
ss boegarts
of – souza, braun, conforto
util – encarcion, schoop
bench – bregman, peraza, caesar, bautista, gurriel
Thanks a lot
1) Braun, Bregman for Yu? 2. Hold
Grey, should I drop Renfroe for Hernan?
Sure
You told me to keep tommy joseph instead of dropping him and adding ryan zimmerman. :(
I coulda owned ryan zimmerman, he was available.
Tojo sucks

Grey would you start john lackey vs boston tonight? I need a solid start
Nope
Should I just move on from Kendrys?
What am I waiting for?
I have this fat ass on like 4 teams.
Yeah, can move on
Could you tell me if you have the problem again, because I think I fixed it, thanks!
@Grey:
Yes sir.
So far so good.
Hope that HR get Odor going!
Me too!
my parents are way into Gomorrah you see it? its in italian w subtitles
Haha, nope
14-team Roto 5×5 (HR RBI R SB OBP) and I have a bench spot and I’m looking for 6 names for 5 OFs and a U. My guys are: A.Altherr, Shin Soo Choo, J.Heyward, M.Kepler, A.Gordon and H.Renfroe. I’m looking at Tim Beckham and Delino Deshields, Y.Alonso, Chirinos, Werth, Eddie Rosario, Josh Bell and some others sitting out there as Free Agents. Should I bite or sit tight?
Delino over Altherr
@Grey: Thanks! I’ll give him a try.
No problem
Grey,
Grant Dayton was activated from the DL, and I need to activate Sam Dyson then drop to activate Britton. Which 2 guys would you drop for Dayton and Dyson?
1) Mike Montgomery
2) Jose Leclerc
3) Folty
Drop Dyson, 2) Jose Leclerc
3) Folty
I have to activate dyson first because he is on my DL spot. Once i activate DYson then I can drop him and someone else for Britton, and Drayton. The 3 i mentioned are active right now.
ok just a quick question. Why do you like Montgomery over Leclerc
more IP
Leclerc 9 ip, 1BB, 15K era 1.00
So I’ve got a guy in the league that has been plagued by injuries and desperately needs pitching. Is my Chris Davis and Danny Duffy for his Daniel Murphy paying too much? It will greatly upgrade my 1B position and I see that both of my guys seem to be on the way down this season, Duffy’s velo is down and Davis not mashing as before. He has Bumgarner too so I may be able to get him and throw him in the DL for a later pay off. Thoughts? Its a H2H points league
Sounds fair
@Grey: So he countered for my Carpenter and Duffy for Murphy because he needs the 2B depth, still fair?

Still fair
Paraza. Duffy Dickerson for Tanaka and archer?
Thanks
Tanaka
Grey would you trade SP pomeranz for benintendi OF? Or i could get some of his numbers in FA melky cabrerA or ty collins?
Yes
@Jose:
Is this a money league and can I get in it?
Would you drop Rendon for Bellinger and I was just offered Arrietta and Margot for Hamilton and Severrino? Do it right
Nope
I scooped up zimm early on, and just sold what I thought was high trading him for longo..with beltre out I really needed a 3B. I feel like I might regret it now with the way he has been hitting the ball..thoughts? I didnt see him sustaining what he is doing now. thoughts? 12 team 5×5 h2h keeper.
Zimmerman won’t hit 4 HRs a week and .400 for much longer
Hey Grey,
site is very laggy, making it very difficult to post from my phone and computer. just an FYI. Anyways, I hope you’re doing well… – a few questions
1) Hedges or Weiters?
2) Rank these pitchers in order: Morton, Shoemaker, Tillman, Miguel Gonazlaez
3) Rank these batters in order: Dickerson, Avisail, Reynolds, Santana, Ellsbury
Thank you.
@Josh-NYC:
Also, would you do My E5 for his Aaron Judge? I know it’s early.. but Edwin doesnt seem to be doing well on Cleveland.
C: Weiters
1B: Goldy
2B: Segura
3B: Eugenio Suarez
SS: Correa
OF: Benitendi, Polanco, Hernan Perez
Util: Carlos Santana, Edwin Encarnacion, Odor
Bench: Rendon, Bellinger
DL: Tom Murphy
NA: Yoan Moncada
No, hold Edwin
Sorry about that
1. Hedges 2. Shoemaker, Morton 3. Santana, Dickerson, Avisail
Cut T Joseph for M Taylor? Looking for a full time hitter with upside.
6×6 mixed roto
Sure
Kendrys or Conforto?
Thanks for talking me down on Ender about 50 times so far.
@hondo: NM-see it kind of answered on another question
Conforto
Let’s run Yu’s pitch count up to 125 in April. I know he was on but still.
Champagne SuperNova!
Haha, yup!
You starting either of these guys Sunday?
12 team 6×6 h2h (OPS/QS)
Need one QS to tie and two to win.
I’m starting Ryu since the matchup is good but…
Do I go for the category win and start either $-1.6 Ross vs. NYM or $-9.7 Rodriguez vs. CHC?
Leaning towards taking the risk with Ross and sitting Rodriguez. Thoughts?
@bobbo: Ross.
Start Ross
Currently carrying 5 closers and was thinking of packaging one of Britton, Melancon or Feliz and Duffy for Greinke and Betances. Hurting in strikeouts and Holds in this league. Should I offer any of these deals? Thanks
Britton and Duffy sounds fine
I hate pitchers.
We do 1 category for Saves+holds in the 5×5 roto 14-team league…along with K, WHIP, ERA and QS.
Starters are Kershaw, Maeda, Miley, Samardzjia, Shoemaker, and Wheeler (Musgrove is a Free Agent along with Weaver, Freeland, Boyd, H.Santiago, Andriese, and some other bums)
My RPs are Dellin Betances, Shawn Kelley, Bud Norris, Brandon Maurer. I probably only need 2 or 3. I ought to keep 7 starters but I’m thinking about only 5-6.
Who would your starting 9+1 bench have on it?
Lose Wheeler, and stream
@Grey: OK I think I am going to buy into the StreamOnator and run with it for SPs. What about my 2 or 3 RPs? Do I sart 2? Betances and _____? (Kelley/Norris/Maurer)??
Betances, Kelley
@Grey: I am strongly considering swapping out JBJ for Conforto cause of my Mets fandom and cause of upside – please talk me off the ledge
Red Sox and Fenway is much better place to be and Conforto goes cold in two weeks he’s out of a job
@Grey: or whenever cespedes actually comes back (healthy when he comes back the 2nd time, hopefully, unlike last time)
Deez Nutz Gordon is absolutely killing me with his lack of steals – he’s not even trying when he’s on base either. He needs to start eating whatever AJ Pollock is eating.
@William Hung: possibly a managerial deal there. ARI’s guy has everybody stealing all the time. it’s awesome. MIA’s guy probably has been taking metheny lessons (not in bullpen usage though, nobody would ever attend that seminar, even monkeys throwing darts know better than metheny at bullpen usage in last 3 years. this isn’t even a joke, there’s an article somewhere proving random usage was better than metheny at bullpen usage in at least 2 out of last 3 years)
I know!
in 20 teamer with this offense (OPS, slugging, hits, BB’s, total bases added)
C romine (or whoever is getting playing time, castro etc)
1B freeman
2B jose ram
SS villar
3B franco
OF (3) kepler/stanton/morales (backup 1B too here)
util panik (FINALLY batting in good part of order)
BN to-jo
asked earlier, but galvis was taken less than hour after i typed it.
options: bour/s.smith/rosario/toles/leury/collins. smith/collins/toles/bour (or should be) righty side platooners only but this is for the BN spot so it’s more about production when they do play (and they do play most of the time).
Bour
sweet crap, were those neris’ first HR’s allowed all year too? damn, in a pitcher park too. trying to catch a highlight as to how badly those pitches were, as he’s usually awesome. i got this guy in just TONS of leagues (about 87% holds leagues i play in)
@The Harrow: puig’s HR wasn’t a bad pitch, but the bellinger/turner ones very much were.
@The Harrow: i was watching the game, big time Dodger fan here. But after the Puig homer, Neris seemed to be on tilt. Bellinger turned on that inside one and smoked it. Damn he has such a sweet stroke. After that, Neris was totally shaken, threw a ball in the dirt, then JT sat on that inside heater and launched it halfway up the bleachers in left, which is pretty far. I think Neris just caught the bad side of momentum tonight. Benoit look good btw, his heater was explosive and his change was nasty…
Closers are so F‘n stupid!
Haha, they are
Does the StreamOnator advise on relievers? I have Betances, Kelley and Maurer. Drop Maurer?
Sure
Reynolds or Moreland?
Moreland
thanks hitter T, first day i played bellinger in a 16 team dynasty and did so over reynolds and c.davis. tron said so.
Greylord……am I still trading my Ryan Zimmerman for Gary Sanchez? The offer is there. I can’t can’t hit it with this insane 1st month Zimm is off to.
I already have Goldy and Miggy for 1B and Utility
My catcher is Beef Wellington
Grey,
12 team daily roster moves we have a category for holds and a category for saves.
My current staff is: Bradley, Neris, Kelley, Giles, Bush, DeGrom, Maeda, Urias, Nova, Walker, Joe Ross and Vince Velazquez.
I was wondering who if anyone I should cut for Benoit? With Bradley having SP eligibility I can cut a starter if I want to grab Benoit. I’m thinking it’s either hold, or cut Kelley, Ross, Walker or Velazquez. Thoughts?
Thanks
Walker
Grey,
In OBP and OPS leagues are you still holding onto to C.Davis? .337 OBP and .749 OPS right now.
Yeah
Desmond off the DL
Nice!
Nice!
Up 5-4 in wins and 2-3 in losses
I have 47 ip he has 56
My era 3.47 his 3.32
My whip 1.22 his 1.07
Do you start folty or Miguel Gonzalez today?
@Dv: he has no starters I also have 5 relievers
I don’t know who they’re facing
@Grey: tigers for Gonzalez brewers for folty
In Detroit in milwaukee
12 team 5 player keeper league
starting to come around but need pitching badly
odor and benintendi for Teheran and syndergaard
my keepers likely would be turner, correa, villar, syndergaard and one more…..
pull the trigger??
Enjoy your day brother! Always look forward to your next article!!!!
Thanks! Don’t like it
Would you trade D. Duffy for C. Owings. Thanks
Nah
Morning Lord of the Grey. The offer of my Ryan Zimmerman for his Gary Sanchez is still out there. I’m having a hard time hitting that damn accept button. What in the world is going on without zimm. Can this continue? I already have Goldy and Miggy for 1B and Utility
I can’t imagine it continues, I’d take Sanchez, but I bet you can do better
Delino still leading off even after an 0-Fer last night. Your 395 day old wet dream could becoming a reality
HA
@The Great Knoche: he’s being greatly helped by napoli being awful. also it’s sunday, and somebody might’ve had day off anyway.
@The Harrow: Debbie Downer over here
@JeF WiTh 1 F: i own him (and streamed in a 16 teamer, hours ago, ASSUMING he’d start today) in an AL only. if he keeps playing he sticks on roster over motter (now getting jerked around benched 2 days in a row)
meanwhile, there are h2h roto’s.
there are 2 basic kinds of h2h leagues
1. h2h rotos (scoring is done roto-like)
2. h2h points
@The Harrow: and after what that one MLB.com douchebag did to all of us (i swear he’s trolling grey when he did that) i’m not trusting shit till he’s starting 3/4 at least (which he is as of today) a few times.
@The Harrow: I was kidding
@JeF WiTh 1 F: ok. that other guy didn’t show up again to his own post, i couldn’t tell if he took it that way. and due to cram hard to tell what being a douch is or isn’t going on from time to time.
@The Harrow: Lol. Trust me, you’re no where near as big of a douche as we all think you are.
Point being he’s started 4/5 days and if he continues to stay in lineup could be fairly valuable if still on waiver wire.
@The Great Knoche: i was referencing jef with an f a couple of days back telling somebody who started his question with “i’m in a h2h roto” jef comes in with “there’s no such thing as h2h roto’s”.
i don’t disagree at all with delino being useful. i don’t know where you’re seeing me say that. i said above that napoli being shit will HELP him get at bats.
@Grey: @The Great Knoche:
I’ll trade him to you in FCL?
@FrankGrimes: Maybe for Motter?
@Grey: drop Gausman for A Wood, Folty, Vargas or Bradley or hold?
Wood
1st world problem…
Winning my matchup 9-0-3 right now,
Pitching categories tied in k’s, tied in qs, winningin era 4.0 to their 4.45 and whip as 1.15 to their 1.4
They have syndergard going… do I bench or stat ryu came the Phillies?,
Tha ks
@Pnw: honestly thor probably more likely to have a blowup (injured) than ryu.
@The Harrow: don’t like being right as i started him too. but he is getting porcello’d (singles with more and more of em). and of course treat urner is nearly only one to have bad inning with 2 outs.
Start
Hi Grey,
Would you drop one of Blach or Jaime to stash Kendrick? There are no other bats on FA that are getting PT, and I can risk a week with him not playing if it gives me a decent bat in another 7-10 days. Chances are that someone will pick up Kendrick very soon. However, by the time Kendrick comes off the DL, I should also have Joc and Freese back, or close to returning. I can always sit my SPs.
Thanks!
Next Two Starts (Favor Blach):
Jaime – NYM, @HOU
Blach – CIN, @CIN
NL-Only 10-TM H2H.
My current team:
CA – Realmuto
1B – GOLDY
2B – LeMahieu
3B – Franco
SS – Villar
INF – Solarte
OF – Pollock, JOC, Grichuk, Brinson
Util – Freese
SPs – Cole, Hendricks, Roark, Nova, Moore, Folty, J. Garcia, Blach, Guerra
RPs – Knebel, Montgomery, Rosenthal
What about Gift or Arroyo? I guess lose Jaime if you have to
@Grey: I’ve looked at Gift. He’d give me immediate help. Arroyo was dropped yesterday and will be a FA on Tuesday. They both would provide immediate help. However, once Freese is back, there’s only room for one in my lineup except for off days. I really don’t need Jaime’s start this week, so he’d go.
Thanks!
Gotcha
Neris and carrasco vs Salazar and conforto?
Neris
Please rank ROS: Duffy, Greinke, Severino and Fulmer. Thanks
Severino, Duffy
Is Parra a drop with Desmond back from the DL and Dahl probably back in a couple weeks? Especially if I need pitching help. The move would likely be drop Parra for A Wood. Or would you rather drop Senzatela (whose next start is @SD next week)?
@The Guy: oh yeah.
Yes, drop Parra
Do you have Quintana as a sell? Someone just cut him and I’m wondering if I should claim him, dropping Wood, Ryu, or Maeda.
Also, same guy cut AJ Ramos. Would you take Ramos over Kelley? As a Marlins fan, owning Ramos sounds frustrating.
Ramos over Kelley…Quintana over Ryu
@Grey: Thanks, going to try it!
I know you don’t like Kiermaier, and now I am starting not to either. Drop for Schebler? I am ok on speed.
Yeah
@Grey: also drop Kier for drury?
Yup
Fuck Thor just left the game immediately after throwing a pitch…grabbed by his armpit, looks like a DL stint is coming but glad he didn’t grab the arm.
@JeF WiTh 1 F: Now let me take off my Mets hat and put on my FBB hat….I don’t own him anywhere so oh well….
@JeF WiTh 1 F: *Puts Mets hat back on* FUCK!!!
That’s so Mets
@Grey: Yeah it is
@JeF WiTh 1 F: i love how they seem to not really have doctors over there. hundreds of millions at stake and they just play him since he said he “feels fine”. neat. these guys all think they are hockey/football players and can just “play through it”.
@Grey: Guess he should have gotten that MRI.
Do you think it’s time to drop Peraza-I have four other players that can generate steals and better AVG. Also a few steal opportunities on the the wire. Thank you
Trade someone
Rendooooooon!
@Alex: Rendoooooong!
Sonavabench!
@Grey: and another
@JeF WiTh 1 F: fucking hell
I got so screwed by him, haha
@Alex: about time he wakes up!!!
Grey,
Who to drop to active Desmond?
OBP/SLG league
Tomas
Headley
Moreland
Ozuna
@Test Kitchen: Headley for me.
Headley
I erg shallow league
Need to cut 1 C-Soto, Mesoroco or Norris &
1MI- Merrifield, Iglasias or Barney
Soto… Barney
So I needed steals or homers today and since Rendon has been garbage I figured to swap out for the hot schmotato in Hernan Perez. Needless to say, I should’ve just kept Rendon.
Everyone should thank me cause apparently Rendon didn’t want to play for me and once I drop him the first game he has leads to his first homer. Thanks Rendon!
Ha
@Grey: This swap probably lost me the week. I am OK with it cause I have a feeling he just blew his whole load and now when I go to get him back on Tuesday, cause the people in my league are overly loyal to the players they drafted, he will pepper me next week with the 1/4s.
If I end up getting him back, I’m totally going to own him out of spite.
Ha
Drop Moreland or Belt.
No
nats took joe ross out after 4 innings with a 10-5 lead and only 78ish pitches. I hate managers.
Just hate Dusty
drop rupp for avila? or shrug
Sure
Another clunker by joe ross today. Keep the faith? Rather keep Ross or Vince Velazquez?
Thanks
Go Vince
I just lost Syndaguard! Who do I pick up ,Snell, Eflin, Estrada, Leake, Corbin, Hahn, Triggs,Wood, Peakock, or Cain.
Look at matchups
Think I can guess the lede tomorrow
http://games.espn.com/flb/clubhouse?leagueId=40219&teamId=1&season=2017&scoringPeriodId=29
@Grey:
Oh Man I feel bad! That bench! But it seemed so smart vs Thor!
Because baseball!
Haha, I know!
@Grey:
Damn!
To think I was upset cuz
I missed one stolen base by the dentist!
Haha
GREY YO bro… how was your weekend?
My favorite comment from you was when you called out that dude who was crying about zimmer… he definitely keeps receipts lol!
I think maybe you should refund him a Zimmerman… Zim Zim Zimmerman Zimmer Zimmer man! (To the tune of row your boat)
Anyway I’m loving my lineup this year and was wondering if i could get ur help finding my perfect match for my last utility spot.
C: HEDGES
1b) Ramirez
2b) turner
Ss) story
3b) lamb
Of)Harper, cruz, Stanton
Ut) benintendi
Ut)?
Currently roster piscotty and Peraza for that spot and have Dahl on IR who I think is perfect for it. Since I think I’m stacked on power and could use some speed
Anyway I’m sick of getting pissed on by piscotty and pooped on by Peraza… so next week should I start
Should I
1) go for gomez
2) dentist Delino who steals toothbrushes
3) ring my bell bellinger I’m a sucker for upside
4) continue to get pisscotyd or poorazad
Thanks man btw I’m screen shotting this in case you are wrong.
Haha — 3 — Don’t you dare! Ha
@Grey:
Awh crap I just read bellinger is supposed to get sent back down as of Friday and it’s a weekly league…
Worth the gamble or go with another option?
Thanks again homie
@Shitwolf:
If he continues to hit he ain’t going anywhere
@FrankGrimes:
Thanks Grimey… Hey didn’t you get electrocuted?
Hold Bellinger
That’s it let o’Day close hahaha
Isn’t Tony LaRussa to blame for
All this closer bullpen bullshit?
HA
In a predicament my good man
I must bench 2. Which 2 shall I bench next week
Miggy (4vsCLE, [email protected])
Desmond ([email protected], 3vsARI)
Thames ([email protected], [email protected])
Zimmerman ([email protected], 3vsARI)
Kemp (4vsNYM, 3vs STL)
Conforto ([email protected], 3vsMIA)
Miggy, Conforto
12 team H2H 6X6 OPS
Drop Puig for H. Perez?
Perez
Do I need to make a major trade for a pitcher? What do you recommend doing with this team? Thanks!
10 team keeper, 6×6 roto – OBP, SLG, HR, RBI, R, SB and QS, IP, K, S, ERA, WHIP
200 GS limit. I’m currently 17/20 in QS and am currently 1st in ERA and WHIP…most other teams have at least 29 GS already…the teams with the best pitching have started 32+ games and have <50% QS rates, which have blown up their ERA/WHIP.
I'm 10th (last) in SLG and RBI, I'm 9th in HR, I'm 8th in R and SB.
In the past, bats are worth more than pitching in my league as the season goes on. On paper my bats are elite, but in reality, they haven't been. On paper, my pitching is mediocre at best, but in reality, I've been killing it.
C: Realmuto
1B: Reynolds
2B: Segura
3B: Bregman
SS: Correa
1B/3B: Suarez
2B/SS: Xander
OF: Stanton
OF: Yelich
OF: Trumbo
OF: Bautista
OF: Piscotty
Util: Franco
DL: Josh Donaldson
P: Fulmer, Bundy, Shoemaker, Graveman, Shark, Lynn, Berrios, Sonny Gray, Nola, (Matz on DL)
RP: Giles, Colome, Neris, Devenski
Your pitching looks terrible, and hitting looks solid… I’d sell high on pitching, maybe Bundy and Yelich for Kluber?
Healy or Bour for CI in OBP & SLG?
Thanks
Healy, but prolly coin flip
Grey
Drop Chisenhall for the outfielder from the Reds Schebler ?
Sure
Anthony Rendón owners today:
https://media4.giphy.com/media/YEL7FJP6ed008/200.webp#2-grid1
Haha
Prayer hectagon worked!
Yeah
JBJ vs Conforto ros is it close? ops league
JBJ, yeah
Would you drop paraza bellinger or Dickerson for ryu if you needed pitching? His k:B.B. Is nice
Dickerson
Drop Mazara to pick up Maikel Franco?
Yup
Darvish, Betances and Rendon for Arrenado.
Which side?
I own Votto for 2 yrs and Mazara for 1 yr. I can add 1 year to one of them, which one?
Maeda or Rich Hill ?
Lose Piscotty or Conforto for Skinny Dee?
@ryanoger:
You like Skinny Dee over Ender right?
Well, two starts in a row against righties, do I run the risk of starting DeShields in a weekly lineup league, or do I run out somebody else?
Other options I have are Franco, Schoop, Souza, and Mazara (who’s just a piece of shizz lately.)
Also, would you consider dropping Mazara at this point for, say, a SChebler?
Kinda puzzled that my team could go 12/35 today and not score a single run…
@SteveNZ: They either aren’t on the Nationals, or weren’t playing the Mets
@The Great Knoche: gotta love the false either/or
Please stop my emails from this gallo site-I checked notify me by mistake-THX
Done
