Kelvin Herrera was traded to the Nationals, and immediately lost his fantasy value — from a total geek to totally chic back to Game of Thrones’ Reek. From a SAGNOF hero to a SAGNOF zero. From sneaky fantasy value status to king status to no status. Okay, enough of the bastardized Can’t Buy Me Love quotes. Though, he did go from a Cindy Mancini to Amanda Peterson’s current status. RIP. I’ll see you in the ever after because I still dream you’re on the back of my lawnmower, wearing my cowboy hat. Now, the constitutional monarchy Royals, who need pardon power to excuse their sorry team, have an opening at the top of their bullpen. *Looks at Royals’ depth chart* I just vomited into my mouth, then spit said vomit on the sidewalk and the vomit formed the word, “Blech.” Yo, my vomit can spell! I grabbed Brandon Maurer, but right as I was doing that I regretted it with every bone in my body. Even the sexy bones. Kevin McCarthy could also be the answer to who is the Royals’ closer. He might also be the answer to, ‘What name do you think is Macaulay Culkin’s name in Home Alone when you can’t remember his character’s actual name?” Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Juan Soto – 3-for-6 and his 6th homer, which is actually his 1st homer, because this game was a continuation of a game that started on May 15th, which was before he was called up, so, basically, he’s a time traveler.
For Juan Soto’s next trick, he’s going to homer in the 1st inning of the 7th game of the 1991 World Series and ruin Jack Morris’ case for the Hall of Fame.

Erick Fedde – 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 9 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 5.63. Fedde WOP!
Sonny Gray – 5 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 4.89. He scarred me so badly I legit don’t even care what he does anymore. I’m not sure I can ever go back in on Gray. Thankful for the different name spelling because I enjoy picking my butt.
Aaron Hicks – 2-for-5, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 2nd homer in as many games. Gardner is sidelined, but you don’t need the hedges here, Hicks is a hot schmotato.
Giancarlo Stanton – 4-for-5, 2 RBIs, hitting .254. A positive Giancarlo update and he didn’t homer? It’s like getting a Buttery Nipple shot off Giancarlo’s chest.
Hector Neris – Demoted to Triple-A. *tries not to laugh, exploding* BLAHAHAHA!!! Are you kidding? I’m not saying Neris is good, but Kapler used him as the Phils closer as of this weekend. What a jizzoke. Seranthony Dominguez should be owned, either way. Yesterday, Victor Arano tried for the save (and failed), but Dominguez had worked the two previous days. Of course, with Kapler, the only thing clearcut are his abs.
Nick Pivetta – 7 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 13 Ks, ERA at 4.08. You get why I keep telling everyone to hold Pivetta? Doode’s got flame decals on his heart. I get the ERA doesn’t look that pretty, but he’s pitching about as well as a top 25 starter. You need to fall backwards and let Grey catch you (if you weigh under 55 pounds).
Odubel Herrera – 2-for-5, 3 RBIs and his 10th homer, and his 3rd homer in his last four games. ODB, live and uncut, styles unbreakable, shatterproof!
Miles Mikolas – 5 IP, 4 ER, ERA up to 2.69. Yo, the Regression Fairies make me cry. I’m like, “Hey, Regression Fairies, can’t we all get along and just RuPaul’s Drag Race and chill and they’re like, ‘I’m gonna Mola Ram your heart out of your chest.'”
Matt Carpenter – 2-for-5 and his 11th homer, and 2nd homer in as many games, hitting .235. This Carpenter doesn’t even need a day of rest.
Yadier Molina – 3-for-4, 2 runs and his 7th homer, hitting .273. Bunch of people asking to drop Molina, maybe this will quiet your busy mind. My fantasy advice is your Calgon.
Tommy Pham – 1-for-5 and his 11th homer, hitting .269. Has one of the most yawnstipating twelve-game hitting streaks, with one hit in each of the last ten games, coming off a month of May when he hit .195. Now until mid-July will be a very telling time for Pham. Is he our Brother Rob or Disco Bob?
Caleb Smith – 4 IP, 4 ER, ERA at 3.91. Ugh, this guy’s name is spraypainted on my ulcer. It was the Giants, doode! Their third hitter is Andrew McCutchen like it’s 2013 and we’re all talking about those randon people doing a Harlem Shake.
Andrew Suarez – 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 4.70. One of the Stream-o-Nator‘s faves this week, and when you get the Marlins and the Padres in one week, your fortune cookie reads,”Person who uses Stream-o-Nator gets less indigestion than Trader Joe’s gyoza.”
Pablo Sandoval – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 6th homer, hitting .271. A Sandoval is what aliens call an hourglass and Sandoval’s hourglass figure has expired, but the sands of time never stop unless you turn it over. That shizz is deep (if you don’t consider it for too long).
Hunter Strickland – 1/3 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 2.84. Gritted teeth. Not now, Strickland. Hot-breath, close-talker Mark Melancon is breathing down your neck.
Shin-Soo Choo – 2-for-2, 2 runs and a homer, hitting .279. Also, in this game, Adrian Beltre (1-for-5, 3 RBIs, hitting .322) homered. Can you guess how many homers each player has? I bet you can’t get within three of either. No free trip to Acapulco for you! No jacuzzi! No Showcase Showdown! Choo has 13 homers; Beltre has 3.
Ian Kennedy – 6 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 5.31. Never trust a Kennedy near anything associated with Texas.
Bartolo Colon – 6 IP, 3 ER, 10 baserunners, 1 K, ERA at 4.91. This start was vs. the Royals, which obviously was very distracting for Bartolo who kept asking, “Royals with cheese?”
Jhoulys Chacin – 6 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 2 Ks, ERA at 3.18. If Yo-Lease is retractable, let it out, because his peripherals are hot garbage under your Grandma’s butt on a plastic-covered couch.
Trevor Williams – 7 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners (1 hit), 7 Ks, ERA at 4.00. I’ve been moving people off Williams for a while now. He was a sleeper, yes, but even there I said he was more for deeper leagues. In shallower leagues, I’d use the Stream-o-Nator for him, which rarely likes him.
Gerrit Cole – 7 IP, 4 ER, 8 baserunners (5 BBs), 8 Ks, ERA up to 2.59. Like a person who has an “I’m With Her” sticker on their Prius, I hate Cole.
Kevin Kiermaier – Aiming to return today, which puts him on pace to return to the DL around July 8th with three day-to-day situations between now and then.
Wilson Ramos – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 9th homer, hitting .288. The Rays’ lineup has gotten to the point where Ramos is hitting third, and it actually makes sense. By the by, Curtis Jackson Cron (0-for-4, hitting .237) is a historic slump. I blame The Sciosciapath for sending him a Rally Monkey with its head cut off. A stuffed animal! Take it easy, PETA!
Sergio Romo – 1/3 IP, 2 ER and the blown save. When is SAGNOF so faceless that it no longer matters. Damn that’s deep like some Wu lyrics.
Paul Goldschmidt – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 15th homer. Au Shizz!
Ketel Marte – 1-for-3 and his 5th homer, hitting near-.325 in the last week. I’ve been rocking Ketel all year in one league (it’s a bit deep), but he’s making a case for shallower league attention. Throw up that schmotato Bat Signal.
Kole Calhoun – 2-for-3, 1 run as he was activated from the DL. You knew he’d be back at some point, because he’s a ginger and you can’t ever get rid of them.
Jaime Barria – 4 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 3.57. How do you pronounce his first name? Hi-me? Make it Bye-him. If Siri’s reading the post to you, that’s not B-U-Y-him. Also, read your own damn words.
Albert Pujols – 1-for-5 and his 12th homer, and 2nd homer in as many games. Fun fact! He used to date Clara Peller in high school.
Justin Upton – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 16th homer, and nearly hit a 2nd homer that was robbed by Dyson, The Human Vacuum.
Wilmer Flores – 1-for-5 and his 4th homer. And a great batty call for yours truly! Wait, Wilmer, why are you crying? A batty call doesn’t need to be a one-night thing, I’ll call on you again, especially if Coors is involved.
Brandon Nimmo – 4-for-6, 4 RBIs and his 11th and 12th homer, and three homers in the last two games. Finding Nimmo in Coors is fun for all ages!
Jay Bruce – Scratched from Monday’s lineup because the Mets can’t cut him, so they’re scratching him.
Jacob deGrom – 8 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 1.51. DeGrom better be careful how well he pitches in Coors. He doesn’t want the 180 reversal of joy to sorrow like, “You’ve been traded…” “YES!” “…to the Rockies.”
Dylan Covey – 5 IP, 4 ER, 11 baserunners (5 BBs), 2 Ks, ERA at 2.90. About time Dylan Covey started pitching like Dylan effin Covey! Now go back to eating D’s.
Matt Davidson – 2-for-4 and his 13th homer, and his 2nd homer in as many games. I’m kicking myself because I didn’t mention him yesterday. I saw he homered on Sunday and I know he’s the type to hit a few homers in a few games, so hopefully you can grab him if you need a quick shot of power.
Carlos Carrasco – X-rays on his elbow are clean. Sounds like he went to a Greek doctor who used Windex.
Jason Kipnis – 3-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer, hitting .207. Bruce Willis is starring as Kipnis in the movie, Spring Training Narratives Die Hard!
Trevor Bauer – 7 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 2.50. The greatest call in the history of 2018 was when I ranked Bauer 100 picks before every other ‘pert. The champ is here! *walks into locked door* Why is this door locked?! I was reenacting Will Smith’s iconic portrayal of Muhammad Ali!
Where you at on Hill and Stroman, worth shallow league fliers?
1. Does Gleyber Torres hit more HR’s than Scooter ROS?
2. Between Wilson Ramos, Sal Perez and Willson Contreras and in what order?
5×5 standard roto league (R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG)
1. No 2. Willson, Sal
Where’s Willson’s power this year though? Grey Matter knows everything, so I ask.
GREY GREY GREY !!
Thoughts on Odor? He has been putrid but I’ve been letting it ride. I’ve got Dozier and Segura and start Odor at MI. Tonight he was benched for partying. Drop? Hold?
Thanks.
Get rid of him
Giants be mad at Lewis Brinson.
Lewis Brinson! Wut?
Lifetime .170 hitting Lewis Brinson.
Smh.
Haha
@Grey: Rodon worth holding on to in shallow leagues? I’m thinking of dropping him for Pivetta, but I won’t be running Pivetta out there v. Nats while Rodon is getting Oakland @ Home on Sunday
Rodon has a great next matchup
Rich Hill pitching a gem for the Dodgers vs the Cubs.
Says his curveball is the best it’s been in three years. Pitching coach says something clicked for Hill.
Meanwhile they’ve been using frickin’ lasers on his blister, that this is the treatment breakthrough they’ve been looking for.
Is this “best shape of his life” spring training BS, or are we buying in?
Grab him, for sure
Hitting has hit a wall lately big names but low results drop Shane Bieber for which hitter to come off bench
Kiermaier, parra, Pablo, Clint frazier, Polanco
Parra in Coors, Kiermaier otherwise, none of these are going to be saviors
Trade Carlos Rodon for Conforto?
@Paul: or add polanco /schiebler on waivers
Just add Schebler
Sounds fair
It was a genius move starting Buxton at DH in his rehab game tonight. He went 0-4. No running on that toe on offense or defense.
Haha
Hey Grey,
My current closers in a saves league are kela, vasquez, hector rondon, Rodney, Norris, and knebel.
Do you like seranthony over any of them? Or hold
Over Kela
soroka sucks. Like i said after his good start last week vs the mets, its the mets and dont get too excited. soroka has given up a ton of hard hits vs real mlb opponents in his other 3 starts…. And well he gave up 8 hits (6 doubles), 10 baserunners over 4.2 tonight. Lucky to esacpe with only 4 earned runs.
You were waiting on that one, huh?
Bryce shaved the beard.
It’s your turn to shave the ‘stash.
Bryce’s such a garbage human… Why can’t he hit .250? Tell me that, Grimey!
@Grey:
$400 million dollar garbage man!
My auction team:
Harper
Rizzo
Stanton
Strasburg
Yu
= last place!
Damn, so expensive to pick up trash… That sucks, man, that is a solid core
@Grey: BABIP luck, his fair AVG is .278
Which side in a 16 team-Ops keeper: Conforto, Ian Happ, and Folty for Muncy, Nimmo, and Bird?
Looks pretty fair, I’d go Conforto
@Grey: thanks. One more for ya: Folty and Willie Calhoun for Rendon? Any concern that rendon hasn’t been running at all??
Rendon
The Braves scored 8 runs in 5 innings while the top 5 in the order were 0 for 14.
Can’t stop the Camargo train
I just traded Dickerson and Andujar for Corbin? Is that a buy low on Corbin?
Sounds fair
anybody else noticing that MF’ing SF hid this strickland info for about 20 or so hours? meaning this gave a ridiculous edge to anybody who has SF insider type knowledge. he broke his hand after yesterday’s game. if it was LAA they’d at least wasted some effort to claim he left monday’s game “dehydrated” or “tired” or maybe “under the weather”
Yeah, I hear ya
NL only with saves and holds. we FAAB for when guys come over to NL in message board. to ensure we can’t lose stats (this is yahoo) when somebody gets traded away we actually have all player universe in FA list, i police when somebody might try to nab an AL player (it happens maybe accidentally once per year per league, i have good owners).
minter, sara anthony, hand, boxy. drop minter for kelvin i’d guess. but what FAAB bid size, here’s some references:
bautista (23)
federalist (15)
we do vickrey bidding, so a minimum amount over the 2nd highest bid is what wins. bautista was bid 22 and 26, so 23 won. we do a 48 hour clock from when the first person posts the trade.
Meh, Minter’s not awful, is he? Can throw a $6 bid, and try not to win it
@Grey: yeah minter is fine (and for dynasties i love him, this is keep 3 league though) and since we have no way to do closed bidding we can all see exactly what the bid to win needs to be. we can retract at any time as well, but of course we can’t angle that such as bidding 50, then somebody else shows up with 51, if we retract the winning bid isn’t 51.
Yeah, Herrera’s nothing that great
What’s the reasoning for Bochy not naming Melancon? I picked up Melancon lol
@web: watson has been awesome all year long is likely. also bochy probably doesn’t want to have to keep naming different closers and
1. melancon will probably be hurt again
2. melancon hasn’t been consistently good for about 2 full seasons.
@Mr. A Knife: fair enough
^This too
Melancon might be the closer by the weekend, wasn’t named tho
@Grey: that brings up a good point, melancon has been stashed for a bit in a 14 teamer. just dropped strick for watson myself, along with giles/rondon/greene. guessing i should hold here even if melancon has this eventually like 38% of the time or whatever, or drop watson for the midwest mccarthism right now?
Hold
@Grey: might be dyson here. on skills it should be smith or watson
@Mr. A Knife: crizzzap, since i added watson mccarthy got added then before rosters unlocked somebody (the melancon stasher, who tends to have easy to drop garbage pitchers on his BN which can be dropped before rosters unlock) nabbed dyson. i guess hold watson here as with his FIP being a full 2 runs better eventually we just wait for the dyson blowup chicken fest (3.71 FIP vs watson’s 1.71, or w.smith’s even better 1.33)
Strickland out 6-8 weeks. Whould you p/ Melcanon
@lwomack58: look just above. watson.
Watson or Dyson
Carlos Rodon is an absolute bum
Ugh
@Grey: Atleast I can scoop pivetta in time for his matchup with the nationals. I swear when I own him he’s terrible and when I don’t he’s incredible
Don’t jinx Pivetta for the rest of us!
@Grey: ooop.
I never really play moostakus. Would you try to trade him for mikolas, or Newcomb or just hold him
Newcomb in a sec
@Grey: cool I’ll try. If not would you go for mikolas?
I’d want more
15 team roto: start Lugo @ Coors tomorrow?
No way
strickland is out 6-8 weeks. melancon or tony watson?
@vee: oh forgot about Dyson too.
should i drop lasagna or steven wright for the handcuff if dyson or watson? melancon already owned.
thanks
Watson or Dyson, per Bochy
@Grey: i’m gonna ride watson. drop lasagna or wright? cheers
Wright
@Grey: starting Rodon tonight where you have him?
I am, but I’m nervous
@Grey: this 2nd inning isn’t going well
I’ve seen better
Keeper league. 12 team.
H2H.
I give up Mazara A.Reyes to get C. Morton, Justin Upton.
My offense:
Gattis
J.Martinez
Moncada
Trea
Donaldson
Mazara

D.gordon
N.Cruz
Belt
Hicks
Sano
Happ
My pitching consists of:
Snell
Corbin (who’s starting to fall)
Newcomb
Ross
Tanaka
R.Ray
Sterling
Do i take this deal to make my team better now and in the future?
Take it to win this year
SON likes both starts:
Ross vs Oak (14.7)
Lasagna vs Sea (11.8)
Which one you roll with?
Ross
C. Allen for JA Happ- which side
Thanks
Happ
I know I asked something similar earlier, BUT there was a change..
Give:
Andrew Benintendi
Mike Folty
Get:
Gerrit Cole
Trevor Story
Thanks
Story side
10 team league with $250 budget, keep 4 players w/ 10% increase each year…
I was offered $26 Benintendi for my $10 Soto
Thoughts?
Tough call, would likely hold
Nice username, btw
@Grey: thanks Grey! You do great work!
Thanks!
Hey Grey,
What’s the outlook for Lance Lynn ROS? He’s been better over the last month after a rough start.
Thanks!
Something up with Morrow…? Unsure why they went with Wilson here.
Not sure, but I grabbed Cishek
@Grey: So weird. I could easily see Joe with some dumb reasoning like “I was saving him for Game 2”. But Morrow also hasn’t pitched since Saturday. Having Cishek and Strop pitch already and then this strategy blowing up in his face, not a good look. But what the hell to I know.
The Fantrax waiver add thing really screwed me over just now in FCL. Thought I could drop, then add a few Cubs RPs. Oh well.
Yeah, it screws me up too… I had to drop a Cub player to make the move… Really don’t like that difference this year
Luis Castillo worth an add?
Not in most leagues
Grey,
10 team keeper league OBP, K/9
Would you offer Moncada and Smith, C or Rodon my next year 6th for Happ, JA & Cruz and his 10th rd?
Realmuto
Freeman
Profar
Arenado
Story
Cain
Hainger
Mazara
Ozuna
Bench
Bellinger
Kinsler
Nimmo
Seager DL
Jose Mart
Pitching
Nola

EROD
Tailon
Maeda
Diaz
Doolitte
Bench
Smith C
Rondon
Kershaw – DL
Strausburg – DL
Sounds fine
Looking for some second half sleepers. Would you trade Arrieta for Dozier. I’m pretty decent in starting pitching even without Arrieta (Scherzer, Berrios, Snell, McCullers, Buehler). 5×5 non-keeper, 11-team. Thanks!
@Rich: Yes
I’d take Dozier
OBP Trade – Dozier for Jo-Ma…..
Dozier
Any chance Hill closes in KC? Best K rate.
Maybe
@Robert Schroeder: he should be at worst 2nd option, maurer has been completely awful for about 82% of his entire career.
I have Herrera, and both Sir Anthony and Rondon are available since a couple owners punted saves. Which guy would you grab?
Dominguez
Which catcher would you want the ROS for h2h league
Molina, Grandal, Hicks
Molina
Would you do either of these deals? If so, which one do you like more?
Trade 1:
I get: Bauer and Gary Sanchez
I give: Snell and Dee Gordon
Trade 2:
I get: Greinke and Eugenio Suarez
I give: Dee Gordon and Yu Darvish
@Jocstrap: 1
1
Happy Tuesday!
12 team 6X6 (OBP)
Please rank ROS: Dozier / Taylor /( Healthy) DeJong / Schoop
I own Poopedy Schoop… and it’s been painful
Haha, I hear ya… Dozier, Taylor
You ranked them, basically
@Grey: Thanks Grey!
No problem
How do you feel about Gerrit Cole ROS? Seems like his walks are up and he’s a bit more hittable lately..
Still a top 10 pitcher?
@kilkennybrian: Lately, being 2 games. He’s not a sub 2 ERA guy…really no one is. It’s normal regression.
Maybe top 15-20, agree with Cram tho, not much has changed
Keeper points league: Cmart for Newcomb?
CMart is 6th round keeper and Newcomb is 20th
Works for me
Great write up as usual!
So I am in first place in the division (8-3). But, my SP staff is a dumpster fire.
Started Covey yesterday(-11.5), that is how desperate I am for Sp points this week. Riding a unicycle without a seat is the comparable feeling I got watching the Covey show.
I want to ask about starting Freddy Peralta tonight, but i know the answer already deep down inside (??)
Your thoughts on starting Peralta?
Thankyou!
I am not starting Freddy
@Grey:
Right on, i feel same.
I will watch him strike out 12 on my bench, annoying how it goes sometimes
Yeah, I hear ya
@Grey:
I started Freddy. 5 innings so far, hopeful they keep him in
He looked great early
Grey,
In a 12 team 6×6 OPS league would you take Freeman for T. Turner straight up?
Sounds like a push
Appreciate your take on it.
No problem
Actually, in an OPS, yes, I’d take Freeman
Buxton or Puig ROS?
13 team mixed, OPS
Puig
SON streaming options tomorrow: Mahle vs. DET 15.5 or Loasiga vs. SEA 11.7? Which do you prefer
Lasagna
Hey Grey
In an 11 team league
A) your thoughts on dropping Cron for
Kiermaier,Grichuk, Pederson, Brinson or Parra
I can use all categories
Also,
B) Who see more saves ROS
Romo, Gsselman, Winkler, Jimenez or Bradley
Thanks Grey
A) Joc B) Bradley
@Grey:
Thanks much appreciated
No problem
Billy Hamilton or Brett Gardner ROS?
Gardner
Trying to flip Segura for an OF
Which of these OF would you trade straight up for?
Blackmon
Rosario
Cruz
Any of them
Traded Ed-Rod for Keuchel in a 9×9 roto AL only. Did I do ok or is it more of a Coin-flip?
I don’t like Keuchel
@Grey: I thought you didn’t like Ed-Rod either? At least Keuchel goes 6 innings, Ed-Rod did that for the first time in 10 starts on Sunday. Please opine!
I don’t like either, so hopefully Keuchel works out
H/H Points…..could you give me your top 4 ROS from this group…thanks
Barria
Junis
Teheran
Odorizzi
Lugo
Matz
Soroka
Heaney
C Rondon
Soroka, Rodon, Junis, Matz — some of these are coin flips
Started Pivetta, Williams, and Bauer yesterday in my 12-teamer. The Razz pre-season reading list made me feel like a genius once again.
Rest of the season outlook between Brandon Nimmo or Nomar Mazara. Who do you like more?
I’d lean Mazara, but hard to argue with Nimmo right now
Hey Grey,
In a 14 team keeper league with offensive categories of R, HR, RBI, K, SB, OBP, and SLG…
Would you trade Bregman for Stanton?
Positional needs don’t really factor in since I have Machado at SS and Arenado at 3B so Bregman has been primarily UTIL.
Thanks!!!
Yes
Pick 2 ROS please: Joc, Eaton, Merrifield and Yuli
Merrifield, Yuli
Pivetta or bundy ROS
Pivetta
OBS instead of AVG, so Harper has more value: Bauer and Yelich too much to offer for Harper?
Too much
@American Troutfisher: Meant OBP.
Would you trade Soto, K McCarthy and Newcomb for Verlander and Morrow?
Nah
Which side in a Yahoo! keeper league (6*6):
Hosmer & Robbie Ray (team needs are SS)
for
Bregman & David Price (team needs are 1B and SP)
Bregman
Grey,
10tm head to head categories league that uses batting average.
For a utility spot which guy do you prefer ROS?
Andujar or Nimmo?
Also which starting pitcher ROS?
Pivetta or Luis Castillo? Thanks!
Nimmo — Pivetta
Are you starting Berrios tonight even though SON is not loving this match up?
Also in a Head to Head format 14 team
Current catcher is Ramos but would it be wise to drop him for Molina who is now available off waivers? Thanks again for your advice
Seems like a decent chance to sit him… I’d want Molina
14 teamer with just saves only. 4 slots for RP. have strick, giles, rondon (HOU), soylent greene. hold giles here or grab one of mccarthy/j.anderson? probably safer to hold.
Hold
10 team dynasty league 5×5 OBP
Would you drop Jorge Mateo for Freddy Peralta?
We roster 5 minors player, I can’t add Freddy as an MLB player until right before his start tonight. And by then someone else will have him. Mateo is hitting .230 in AAA right now and is not an asset in OBP.
Yes
Semien or Swanson ROS?
Semien
Hi. 20 team h2h keeper league.
Would you trade albies/gleyber for ram/andrelton?
Thanks
Sure
Since Herrera lost his value it looks like both Giles and Rondon are available in this league for some reason. Looks like Soria is another guy available. Preference as an add?
Thx G
Grab Rondon
Hi Grey, 10 tm h2h pts – for ROS, any of this free agents an upgrade from the guy’s I have now?
My players:
Justine Smoak
Nomar Mazara
Joc Pederson
free agents:
Shin-Soo Choo
Yuli Gurriel
Ian Desmond
Brian Anderson
Thanks for the great advise, time after time, after time….
Desmond over Joc
Grey,
10tm head to head categories league that uses batting average.
For a utility spot which guy do you prefer ROS?
Andujar or Nimmo?
Also which starting pitcher ROS?
Pivetta or Luis Castillo? Thanks!

June 18, 2018 at 7:53 pm (link)
Couple questions below given this overachieving squad below (H2H league, 12 teamer, 20 games in front)
C- Gattis
CI – Freeman, Eugenio, Carlos Santana (walks is a cat, so he helps me there)
MI – Dee, Bregman, DeJong
LF – Rosario, CF – Trout RF – Mazara. 2 OF: Jo Ma, Peralta
Util – Cruz
Bench – Seager (no one wants him on a trade right now)
SP – Max, MadBum, Bauer, Morton, Kendrick’s, Pivetta, Wood
RP – Parker, BearClaw, Britton (yep, a mess but SAGNOF)
1. Seager always gets his 25 HRs but such a drag on average, Ks this year. Tough to trade. He hardly ever cracks my lineup. About what level of player would you seek in return or hold for a few weeks before our trade deadline and hope for a streak?
2. Saves and holds league. Herrera just hit the wire. Could he be a decent answer to holds which I have punted so far this year? If so, who gets cut?
3. Should I stop tinkering and let my boys play? (Over manager?)
Note: my favorite nickname is The Federalist. Do you have one that you are most proud?
1. Maybe a mid level closer 2. Can’t imagine he’s the best source of holds suddenly 3. Maybe — Krispie Young
Which start do u prefer tomorrow?
Junis at home vs Tex or
Ross at home vs Oak
SON likes both
Ross
Grey,
Great start to the week. You suggested Stanton in the starting up this week and had Cain on the bench. Great call. Thank you.
I need another great call from you. Out of these players what kind of trade would you put together for Pollock. Another owner wants Pollock from me and here are the list of players he is willing to part ways with to make this trade happen.
Soto, Puig, Soler, Molina, Gray, Roark, Flaherty, Barria, Foltynewicz
Soto, Folty…That’s about it
Trade question almighty knowing Grey, Have an offer in a Dynasty League
My Ozuna and Scooter for his Segura
Feel like I would be paying for Segura at peak value right now and Scooter getting no love as he’s seems like a toss in.
I have the OF dept that I could do it, but is it smart/fair. Ask for another piece?
I’ll hang up and listen
Terrible tradde
@Grey: that’s what I thought. What if asked for Hunter Green to be included. If not, I’m def out.
It seemed really really bad from my end to do this so thank you for letting me know my gut was correct with that initial trade idea.
Thanks Grey!
No problem
Good morning, Grey! Just had to drop a line to say thank you, because until today I believe I was the only one to make a Clara Peller comment in the last year. Where’s the beef…? RAZZBALL!
Haha, Peller!
I dropped Puig in one league this morning, hoping it jinxes him into paying well in other league I own him. Complete nonsense, but I think it might work…
Thanks for the work Grey!
Ha, nice
Pick one streamer for today please
Lauer vs Oak
Derek Rodriguez vs Mia
Tailon vs Mil
All at home
SON likes all of them
Taillon
@Grey: thanks
No problem
schebler or JOC ROS? Its weekly lineups. Is it close? I wish Joc played everyday.
Schebler
It’s close
-When I type Pivetta into my phone it immediately autocorrects to the flame emoji now.
-Keep forever league:
Currently 2 games back of 1st place, rest of the league is 9+ games out – so I’m in good shape at the halfway pole.
Been toying with this trade – trade my Vlad Jr (25th round) and another bat for Trout – can’t keep Trout so he’d be a half year rental.
Whatcha think – mortgage the future to try to win now? The thought of giving up Vlad JR for the next 10 years feels like giving away my first born.
Ha! Nice! Win now!
@Grey, I used your rankings to draft. I didn’t know what to think of Bauer and didnt research him at all before the draft. I just rolled with you on Bauer with blind faith. Just wanted to thank you for that pick.
Nice!
ditto that!
Ditto you!
Castillo or Godley ROS?
Neither? Godley
@Grey:
I know. Here’s my situation. Had his gattis and Castillo offered for my Herrera and Godley(post Herrera trade) as I see it, Herrera is irrelevant now. So it’s esentially Castillo and Gattis for Godley. Only hopeful C on waivers is Tom Murphy. Make the trade?
