Mariners called up Cole Young. Cole world, ah, Cole world. Watch out, here comes my altar ego, B. Fire. Bringing da…FIRE!
Cole
Cole World
Yeah
First time, he’s Cole’d up,
A 2nd baseman pup,
The new Mariners homey,
They wanna rosterbate, ironically goodbye, Mastrobouni,
Or later, Leo Rivas,
If Raleigh sits on your head, you’re a Butthead, Beavis,
Seeing the new roster,
Cole’s no imposter,
He’s 21 with a 5/4/.277 in 54 games,
Don’t say Dylan Moore’s basically sames,
And he ain’t ever did this before,
And he ain’t ever did this before,
Cole World, ah.
Thank you, B. Fire, for your flow. Cole Young is the Mariners top prospect and Itch said previously, “A left-handed hitter with middle-infield athleticism on defense and a plus hit tool on offense, Young was selected 21st overall in 2022 and has played well throughout his climb. He’s an easy eval on the eyes as it doesn’t take much to see his swing and think “oh that looks good.” Also has the arm to make up for a split second here or there on defense. In 124 Double-A games last year, he slashed .271/.369/.390 with nine home runs and 23 stolen bases, and, if Grey ever tries to rap again, I’m gonna rap him over the head.” Fair, to be honest. I’d look at Cole Young in all leagues for upside, but, since the M’s stadium sucks so bad, I’d prolly limit it to 15-team mixed leagues for now or deeper. Could be a sleeper. Buzz me on my beeper! Jeepers! Creepers! Okay, I’ll stop now. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Bryce Miller – 4 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 5.36 as he was activated from the IL. He had elbow inflammation or, as it’s more popularly known, “Soon to miss 18 months.”
Cal Raleigh – 1-for-4 and his 23rd homer, 4th homer of the weekend. Asked ChatGPT what would Barry Bonds hit like if he had a giant ass, and it said Cal Raleigh.
Chris Paddack – 8 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.58. If you enthusiastically pick up Paddack, your inseam is bigger than the jar they’ve put aside in the cryobank for your brain.
Jac Caglianone – Will be promoted. Weird, where have I heard his name before? I know! From my Jac Caglianone fantasy I just gave you on Friday. Roman Anthony should be next, I’d guess within a week.
Michael Wacha – 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.88. People still asking if they should start him. A 2.88 ERA, like that’s nothing.
Kris Bubic – 7 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 1.43. We must give the Royals’ pitching coach Brian Sweeney his flowers. You get a lotus, the royal flower of pitching coach enlightenment.
Parker Meadows – Sounds close to activation. And you said he retired. Haha, wrong again! Gave you a Parker Meadows sleeper in the preseason, and that feels widely dated, but I don’t mind the flyer.
Edward Cabrera – 5 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 9 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 4.14. Season-long ERA is lying though. He now has five straight solid starts, posting a 2.53 ERA over 21.1 innings. I now have him in multiple leagues, and am holding tight for now, and you can monocle in shallower leagues, but you might want to move off the monocle to grabbing.
Xavier Edwards – 5-for-5, 1 run, 1 RBI, hitting .282, as he was activated from the IL on Saturday. I kinda love Xavier and Otto. Give me the MIA MIs.
Ryan Weathers – 6 IP, 4 ER, 8 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 2.49. Weathers or not, here I come, you can’t hide, that’s the Fugees. His stats still look solid, just got a little unlucky yesterday, i.e., Weathers the storm.
Hayden Birdsong – 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 5 Ks, ERA at 2.37. His stats are even better than Weathers, i.e., melody > meteorology. Streamonator hates his next one, but it doesn’t scare me. Or scurr, sticking with today’s rap theme.
Luis Matos – 2-for-4, 3 RBIs and a slam (4) and legs (2). When you open a guy’s player page and he has no hits without scrolling down, it’s not great.
Camilo Doval – 1 1/3 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 1.04, and his 7th save, 2nd save this weekend, and Ryan Walker pitched the 6th yesterday, which is where he pitched on Friday too. Ryan Walker, 6th inning man. Feel like we did this once before about a month ago. Doval seemed to take over the closer job, because he’s much better than Walker, then a week later, it went back to Walker. In most deeper leagues, I’d be hesitant about dropping Walker, but I would be picking up Doval.
Jordan Walker – Hit the IL with wrist inflammation. Needs to get that wrist right so he can show his stuff to KBO scouts.
Sonny Gray – 7 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.65. I’m not doing the math, but just know if you take out his one bad start his ERA is better.
Erick Fedde – 6 IP, 2 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.82 vs. Jacob deGrom – 6 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 2.34. This matchup was billed as, “FeddeGrom for pithy sake, but it’s no Fe deGrom, he is not the Ironman.”
Josh H. Smith – 3-f0r-5, 4 RBIs and a slam (5) and legs (7), hitting .269, hitting .167 over the last two weeks, so it was not Josh Hot Schmithtato, but maybe starting now?
Coby Mayo – 0-for-4, 1 run as he was recalled by the Orioles with Mountcastle hitting the IL with a strained hamstring that happened when stealing home, which he was doing because, well, a mystery that only Mountcastle can solve. Any hoo! Mayonnaise is back for a couple of weeks — not longer, we’ve fallen for that trap before — and hasn’t shown he can hit major-league pitching (40% strikeout rate). Though, he hasn’t had much opportunity either.
Dean Kremer – 6 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 7 Ks, ERA at 4.70. That was an easy Streamonator call, as discussed on Friday in the Buy.
Lane Thomas – Hit the IL with plantar fasciitis. The oblique of the foot.
Jose Ramirez – 2-for-4 and his 11th homer, hitting .327. He has a 28-game on-base streak with six homers, nine steals and a .401 batting average. Somehow Jo-Jo-Ram keeps getting better.
Gavin Williams – 6 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 2 BBs, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.79. His 5.2 BB/9 is still the new blech, and I could ignore it, if it wasn’t actually better in April than May, i.e., I was looking for every reason to Gavin.
Michael Toglia – Optioned to Triple-A. That’s 100% on me. I loved him coming into this year, and failed to see his flaws. Mea culpa. Funny enough, the Rockies’ corresponding move was calling up Keston Hiura, who I called as a future bust during his breakout. It’s like the universe saying, “You screwed up on Toglia, but don’t forget your past accuracy.” Thanks, Universe. “Okay, stop touching me.” Sorry, Universe.
Juan Soto – 1-for-2, 2 runs and his 10th homer, and his 2nd homer in as many games. Sexy Dr. Pepper just needed to face one of the all-time worst pitching staffs. Emoji blowing smoke out its nose and flexing eight-inch biceps.
Francisco Lindor – 1-for-4 and his 13th homer, hitting .282. Soto is hitting .233, so still behind Lindor, but he could pass Lindor in homers by this time next week, i.e., your buy low for Soto is going bye-bye.
Pete Alonso – 1-fof-4, 3 RBIs and his 12th homer. Albombso!
Tyler Freeman – 2-for-3, 2 RBIs and a slam (1) and legs (4). Rockies are on pace for a 25-137 season, which is crazy, and crazy isn’t good in this example.
Orlando Arcia – 1-for-3 and his 1st homer on his new team, the Suckies. All good on Arcia for NL-Only, but please don’t tell me he’s platooning with Thairo. I do not want to Thearo that.
Slade Cecconi – 4 1/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 5.28. Benefit of answering comments is I get alerted on guys I might not be aware of previously. Down side is y’all alerted me to Slade freakin’ Cecconi. Didn’t really need that with Luzardo!
Eugenio Suarez – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 16th homer. 36 homers since last All-Star Break, Matt Olson has 28.
Corbin Burnes – Left his start with an arm injury. Seemed to mouth, “My elbow’s done, it’s dead.” Hopefully he was saying, “My, Perdomo, son, zees wed,” and Burnes is Italian and Perdomo recently was married. The good news is Ryne Nelson should be back in the rotation.
Brandon Pfaadt – 0 IP, 8 ER, ERA at 5.05. Someone said this was MLB’s first ever “Yes hitter.” The laughter hides the pain.
Spencer Schwellenbach – 6 1/3 IP, 0 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 11 Ks, ERA at 3.13. There was some concern (from me at least) a few starts ago that his perfs weren’t all they were cracked up to be, but they look fine now. Perf on, perfer.
Bryce Elder – 5 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 9 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 4.56. Regret to inform, no one may be wearing the Shroud of Touki this year.
Walker Buehler – 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 4.44. If you have Buehler on your fantasy team, show someone who knows fantasy and say, “Hey, look, I have this guy who hasn’t been good in four years.”
Garrett Crochet – 7 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 1.98. Redrafting tomorrow, which starter goes first: Crochet or Skubal?
Marcell Ozuna – 2-for-4 and his 10th homer, hitting .284, .302 in the last two weeks with four homers. OZUNA destroy baseball. OZUNA under assumption does not need to replace damaged baseball.
Daulton Varsho – Hit the IL with “he hits the IL once a month.” We’ll see him in time for July to hit the IL again, I’m sure.
Addison Barger – 1-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 5th homer, and his 3rd homer in three games. Hot schmotato alert! Just slightly hotter than Matt Wallner. Look at me hiding an extra schmotato in plain sight.
Jacob Wilson – 4-for-4, 1 RBI and his 5th steal, hitting .357. I love Wilson. That’s all, moving on.
Ben Brown – 6 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 1 walk, 9 Ks, ERA at 5.72. I just opened his player page and my eyeballs dropped out of my head when I sawhisperipheralsamIhittingthespacebarorthetableIhavenoeyeballs. Ben Brown looks damn good — 11.3 K/9, 3 BB/9, 3.18 xFIP. I’ll buy that for a dollar!
Michael Busch – 2-for-2, 3 RBIs and his 8th homer. In May, he had 2 HRs, 1 steal and–sorry, I fell asleep, where am I? A Busch? What the hell? I went to sleep with a bird in the hand!
Jameson Taillon – 6 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 4 baserunners, 2 Ks, ERA at 3.76. JT bringing sexy back–[sees two Ks]–uh, JT bringing passable back.
Elly De La Cruz – 2-for-3, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 12th homer. I’m Wild on E! and he’s wild on my fantasy team. He’s the 3rd player to have 50+ homers and 100+ steals through age-23 season with ARod and Trout.
Dylan Cease – 4 2/3 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 4.66. Clearly something is wrong, do the Padres not have pitching coaches to fix the issue? Can Cease get traded to the Royals?
Manny Machado – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 7th homer. Macho, macho, Machado!
Andrew McCutchen – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer, and 2nd homer in two games. Could be a light schmotato, but don’t have much faith.
Christian Yelich – Day-to-day with a jammed finger. Hopefully, he preserves.
Chad Patrick – 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.97. Brewers do nothing but develop great pitching. No, seriously, it’s all they do. Streamonator doesn’t like Chad P.’s next one, but I see little wrong with it.
Jose Quintana – 5 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 2.77, as he was activated from the IL. If you’re in a 15-team mixed league or deeper, you appreciate a guy like Quintana. If you’re in a shallower league, you must be Jo-Quin.
Mick Abel – Will be recalled on Tuesday and Taijuan Walker moves to the pen. Cool, cool, but, like, whatever happened to Andrew Painter? Abel’s been just that (clever!), striking out 10.6 K/9 in 57 innings in Triple-A with a 2.21 ERA. He did have a 4.1 BB/9, which illustrates the problem, a lack of command, which could lead to a roofie.
Jesus Luzardo – 3 1/3 IP, 12 ER, ERA at 3.58. I need to sit down. Why does it feel like I’m sitting on top of a cactus? Why is there blood dripping down my leg? Can someone call an ambulance? I’m going to be sick.
Will Warren – 1 1/3 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 5.19. If you had Pfaadt, Luzardo and Warren on Saturday, you should be ecstatic, you will never know pain worse.
Ben Rice – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 12th homer. He’s on pace for 35 homers. Talking specifically to the people keep asking to drop him.
Ryan Yarbrough – 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 5 Ks, ERA at 2.83. Ya know, as with Mahle and Abbott and anyone else overperforming, you just ride it out until they crash, and hope they don’t crash as hard as Luzardo, Pfaadt, Warren, my God my pain, etc.
Tommy Edman – 1-for-3 and his 9th homer. Wanna call him Eddy Tomman? Am I the only one? Hmm…
Mookie Betts – Has a fractured toe from running into a night table while he was sleepbowling. He says he doesn’t need an IL stint, which seems pretty silly for a team that just needs to get healthy for the playoffs.
Zack Littell – 9 IP, 3 ER, 11 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.86. I hate to be that guy who complains about pitchers not throwing deep into games, then complaining about this, but he threw 117 pitches and the Rays won with a 13-run lead! It’s almost like the Rays abuse their hitters by not calling them up and/or sending them down to manipulate their service time, but then abuse their starters by asking them to throw too many pitches, if they’re under contract.
Taj Bradley – 7 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 10 Ks, ERA at 3.95. Taj Ma-ace! It’s still so early when a guy like Taj can correct his stats almost entirely with one solid start. If you bailed, I’d unbail.
Hunter Brown – 6 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 4 BBs, 5 Ks, ERA at 1.83. Ya know what’s coming, right? Without his one bad start, his ERA is 1.30 in 68 2/3 IP.
Shay Whitcomb – Was recalled with Chas McCormick hitting the IL with an oblique strain. Shay aka Citifield has the silliest Triple-A stats I’ve seen through 53 games: 18/6. Bro is on pace for a 60/20 season in the minors. I am howling. Last year? 25/26/.293. Wow, do they not believe in this guy at all because he’s 26 with almost zero MLB playing time. Not sure if he plays (he didn’t yesterday) or why they hate him, but, whether you have messy hair or the need for upside in AL-Only, get Whitcomb.
Jacob Melton – 1-for-3 as he was called up, and he has 2 HRs and 3 SBs, hitting .254, in Triple-A, and he played over Whitcomb. Ha! Poor Shay, which sounds like a Real Housewife saying Porsche. Melton does have huge speed and power (15/30 last year in minors), but seems likely to hit .210, at best.
Yordan Alvarez – Turns out he has a fractured hand. Astros team doctor’s resumé is: Former Mets Team Doctor. How do you miss a fractured hand for weeks? This is reminiscent to Kyle Tucker’s bone bruise last year, which was a day-to-day injury. Until he was out for three months with a fracture! The entire city of Houston is medical centers! Go into a hospital and get some x-rays done! What are we doing?! I am doing screaming-to-typing right now! I’m so mad!
Yo gray keep mize for @white Sox start or
Cut ties for Roupp vs giants?
Sorry but Meyer can go F himself! I don’t know what’s worse allowing 5 runs to the Rockies or the 11 baserunners. That is a week’s worth for them! And Beck didn’t even play.
One of my opponents last week owned Marcus Semien, George Springer and Cal Raleigh scattered in 5 separate leagues. One of my opponents owns Kerry and Goodman, lol. What the fuck is going on this season?
I’m 1st in Points in my points league and 2-3 in 7th place. I streamed Max Meyer in 1 league today. I had an opponent stream Luis Ortiz and Jose Soriano last week.
There’s a method to this Grey. A method to my bad luck. I’ve never had a season like this. Basically, my new strategy is to pick up players and stream guys who are available in leagues where I’m going against them in separate leagues. Lol.
WTF is Meyer doing? Effing clown. Of course I’m up against Goodman this week. FFS.
Much clown behavior from Meyer
I’ll 1 up you. One of my opponents own Kerry and Goodman lol
I need to drop one of Chandler Simpson, Nick Kurtz or Anthony Santander. Who should it be? Thanks.
Simpson
Thanks. To replace him, who do you think has the most upside over the next 2 – 3 weeks: Colton Cowser, Miguel Vargas, Addison Barger or Trent Grisham?
Cowser
Thanks
No problem
Ward or Roman anthony Ros ops
Ward
@Grey: weekly roto. have a 5 save gap between me and the next team in saves. could use help in wins, ks and ratios. would you sub out finnegan for roupp (vs sd, vs atl) or play it straight (happy pride) with finnegan?
Sure
Ernie or thairo
Ernie
Ernie or Shaw
Shaw
One more Grey. Should I continue to hang onto Austin Hayes if I need room on IL? I would like to, and I finally dropped Noelvi over the weekend to lighten the load. I still have M. King, Yates and now possibly Gavin on my Sheets on the IL (only 2 spots).
Yahoo 12 Team H2H Keeper with OPS and Holds.
Thanks much Grey.
P.S. And saw your earlier advice to add Wacha over Pfaadt, so made that move in the same league. Kinda sad, as I thought I had a good find, but alas… It cost me $1!
I think you can lose Hays
Weissert, pressley, Bryan king, Luke Jackson, Soto, or Rodgers
Saves/holds league
King
Which two of these have the best chance of providing some 2025 value:
Sean Manaea; Arrighetti; Yates (Saves only league); Stanton; Joey Bart (2 catcher league)?
(I’m leaning Bart and Manaea).
Manaea, Stanton
Roupp or mize
Roupp
I have Barger and Hoskins. Drop either for Sal Perez?
Barger
Have traffic jam @ 2nd base: Shaw, M Garcia, and Brandon Lowe. 10 team roto and everyone has an ok 2nd baseman limiting maximum return. Who contributes most? Have Parker M still in IL position. No room in the Inn
Maikel
Should we be buying into Max Muncy??!
Sure, if you want
Over Doyle?
No
Pick of the night: Jesus Sanchez homers
Haha
Let it be so.
Just missed one in his second ab that ended up as a 2b off the wall.
I saw!
In desperation, I streamed Morton on Sunday because Warren wrecked me. It worked out, but I aged. Do we expect Warren to bounce back against the Red Sox? Can Morton cobble together another QS at the A’s?
Only reason I ask, I that I have Gipson-Long and Woodruff on IL. I might leave them there. Can’t decide if they would be good or not coming back this week.
I wouldn’t mess with Warren or Moton…Warren over Morton tho if you have to
Oh yeah, I fully admit it’s risky. Those K’s are tempting in my 12t points league.
Ha
K’s from Warren. Morton…I dont know what he brings to the table.
G Marquez at Miami or Dean Kremer @A’s. Feel dirty asking this question…
Kremer
Util: Vientos or Benson?
Vientos
For the record, Vientos seems to be playing himself into a short side platoon
12 Team H2H 6×6 QS OPS Redraft
Please rank the following:
1) Ward, Caballero, Friedl, Meadows
2) Eflin, Roupp, Woodruff, Bibee, Kelly
Thank you
1. Ward, Friedl, MEadows 2. Roupp, Bibee, Kelly
Please pick the one u prefer?
Horton at Nats
McCullers at Pirates
Roupp home vs Padres
Roupp
Hi Grey,
As I see Matt McLain being dropped just about everywhere, do you believe there is any hope for him this year?
I try to justify keeping him, because I think he is healthy and he spend half of his time in that boombox.
Thanks!
Mike.
Sure, could happen, doubt it tho
Parker Meadows activated and I have him on my IL, are either of Doyle or Jesus Sanchez drops for him? Also guys on the waivers like Matt Wallner, Soler, or Josh bell if you’d drop either of any of them as well.
Jesus
Hey bro-bro. We still believe in Pfaadt? Thinking of a drop for Wacha.
Drop for Wacha
Thanks, dawg. We still holding on Gallen? I picked all the winners this year.
Meh, can lose
I need a CF. Is Barger a fair offer to acquire Edman or Pages?
Or would you keep Barger and cut V Scott for Cowser?
No, but you’re welcome to try
Thank you. I try not to send irritating trade offers! Scott a problem if he hits .220 and bats ninth. Wish I knew when Simpson was coming back.
Gotcha
Would you do Fitts over
Henderson (stash)
Abel (Stash)
BBrown
Cannon
Horton
Yeah, it’s bad…
No
@Grey: weekly roto. elly going on bereavement and looks like he will miss the weekend series. assuming he does, who do you like between elly (3 vs mil) or barger (3 vs phi, 3 @ min)? thanks.
Elly
Happy Monday Grey!
If Weaver is out for an extended period of time, would you expect Devin or F. Cruz (off IL tomorrow) to get the most save chances going forward?
Devin
Happy Monday Grey,
12 team points league…
A. How would you rank the following starts:
EdCab @TB
Lugo @STL
Birdsong vs ATL
Roupp vs ATL
Megill @COL
Bassitt vs PHI
B. How would you rank these batters:
Jac Cag
B. Lowe
Nootbar
Santana
Ward
Thanks!
A. Roupp, Birdson, Bassitt, Lugo B. Ward, Cag
Thanks Grey!
Pretty wild that each season, it becomes more and more apparent that one could cobble together a starting staff from Pick 100 south and easily have the best rotation. And I know you preach this each season. Ah well.
A SP question – in our Yahoo 10 Team H2H Points League, is it crazy to bench Cease and his 1 start at SF for McColors Colors Colors and his 2 starts at Pitt and at Clev? Cease ain’t right as you say.
The other gabrones I am starting are Schwell, Pepiot, Abbot, Severino (2 starts – Yikes!), Libs and Taillon? Yeah, I am in last place – HA!
Thanks much Grey.
Oh, and I was attacked in the nether region by a Pfaadt Luzardo on Saturday!
Yikes that hurt!
Ouchies
Alas! I’m fine starting McCullers instead
Thanks much Grey!
Hey Grey and RB nation- drop Meidroth or Campbell for Ha Seong Kim? Sounds like he is a couple weeks away from rejoining the Rays.
Campbell
Birdsong or Ed Cabrera?
Birdsong, prolly a coin flip
Hey Grey!
Need a new 3B for my points team (Ks are -1)
Top options are:
Arenado, McKinstry, Josh Smith, Bohm, Jung, Burger and Westburg
Which one should I go with?
Smith
@Grey: weekly roto. looks like chris sanchez is now in line for two starts. need to start two of these guys. who do you like?
c sanchez – @ tor, @ pit
boyd @ was
r suarez @ pit
thanks!
Sanchez
@Grye: youre sitting sanchez, or starting him? if starting him, who do you like between boyd and suarez? need to start one of those guys too….
Starting, Suarez
Hey Grey,
H2H Points, which 3 would you start this upcoming week?
Thanks as always!
Turang, Hoskins, Edman
Are you buying Max Muncy’s resurrection after adding glasses in late April?
I’ve seen what blinders can do to a racehorse. Maybe it can have the same effect on an overaged slugger.
Not really
Who has best numbers from here until season end between Acuna and James Wood?
Wood
Whoa, bonus-sized content delivered today. Thanks!
Please rank Matthew Liberatore, Zack Littell, Jameson Taillon, and Weathers. Are any/some a clear cut above the others? Are they all streamers in 13-team?
Haha, Lib, Weathers, Littell, streamers after Weathers
Top 3 IL stashes for a 5×5 redraft league…
Arrighetti, Cortes, Stanton, Gelof, CES, Yates, Profar.
Stanton, Gelof, CES
would you drop Taj for Peralta or C Sanchez?
*Add Taj for
Hold
Fitts or civale tonight?
I don’t know their matchups
vs Angels and at Reds respectively
I don’t know if they’re home/away or who they’re facing
Bah I edited
Fitts seems better but he might only go 4 IP
Thanks
No problem
Great weekend roundup Grey!
Weekly lineup question:
Neto (6 games @BOS, SEA) or
CJ Abrams (6 games CHC, TEX)
Thanks!
LG
Thanks! CJ
Drop Doyle for Jacob Wilson?
Sure
Yo Grey! Quick question on Rasmussen: why is he so low on ROS player rater? Is it including the injury risk? I’m trying to trade him and can’t find anyone who is interested and then I look at your trading tool, and it hates him as well. I’m content to keep him because he has been *mostly* good, but have too many starters and need some middle infield depth.
So far I’ve asked for Turang, M. Shaw, M. Garcia, and Holliday in separate trades and been turned down every time.
Question for Rudy, I don’t handle the tools (hey now!)
Okay, cool. Thanks!
In your opinion, any of those trades I listed seem fair?
Shaw and Holliday seem fair
Okay, so I’m not too crazy. Thanks for your time!
No problem
I lead my 5×5 weekly moves roto with 97 points. 1st in Ks and saves, 2nd in WHIP, 4th in ERA … and 9th in Ws and starting to lose touch with the leaders there. Sooooo kinda chasing Ws.
Start Taj home against Mia (v Weathers) over any of these?
George Kirby (2 starts: BAL v Sugano/@LAA v Tyler Anderson)
Lance McCullers (2 starts: @PIT v Skenes/@CLE v Bibee)
Clay Holmes (@COL v Palmquist)
Edwin Diaz (4 @LAD, 3 @COL)
Felix Bautista (3 @SEA, 3 @ATH)
Emilio Pagan (home 3 v MIL, 3 v ARI)
If so, is it a clear call in your mind, or am I right to be torn?
(I am definitely starting Tarik, Joe Ryan and Cristopher Sanchez, and in a week or two should get Logan Gilbert back.)
start Taj over Pagan…i wouldn’t expect anything from Gilbert
Thanks.
Yeah, the last word you wanna see in any pitcher blurb is “elbow”, but a “flexor strain” (how the Ms described Gilbert’s injury) is usually distinct from how a UCL injury is described, and the 96.8 that Gilbert hit in his rehab outing is higher than his career norm. I am remaining guardedly optimistic, but yeah, prepared for the worst.
Yeah, we’ll see
I wish someone pranked Ohtani while he was napping during the Yankee blowout like Luzardo pranked me on Saturday………….
Haha
Thanks Grey!
12 man seasonal roto only 5 bench, Would you add Yarbrough and/or Taj and Kikuchi and drop who, all?…..
Bryce Miller
Brandon Pfaadt
Michael Wacha
Yar and Taj over Miller and Pfaadt
How would your rank Taj, wacha and weathers?
Also would you buy on gallen if it involved one of the previously mentioned pitchers?
Wacha, Weathers — no on Gallen
Thank you as always
No problem
Who to drop for jazz
Josh smith, Luis garcia, holiday, Abrams, ward
Holliday
Grey,
Your top two going forward, please.
1. Hyesesong Kim, Moore, Josh Smith, and Fitzgerald.
2. Soderstrom, O’Hearn, W. Flores.
Thanks!!
1. Smith, Tyler 2. Not Flores
One more request.
Your top 3 going forward.
Bradley, Horton, Baz, Pfaadt, Warren, or Birdsong
Thanks, Grey!
Horton, Taj, Birdsong
LFG with this excellent Monday rundown!
We still holding Doyle in a 10 team redraft OBP H2H? FA on the wire include Friedl, Springer, Lou Gu Jr, Barger, Hoskins. Would you drop Doyle for any of those options? Could start any of them over Tork in my utility slot, as he’s been a bit cold lately.
Thanks!
Meh, can move on…Hoskins
@Grey: weekly roto. Need to start two of the following. Who do you like?
Boyd @ Was
Ranger Suarez @ Pit
Roupp vs sd, vs atl
Thanks!

Hey @grey, how would you rank Vinnie P, Burger, Rice and Hoskins?
And Bohm or Shaw at 3B?
5×5 cats league
Hoskins, Vinnie
Shaw
Can only keep one, which 1B? Hoskins or Vinnie P
Hoskins
Please rank Dansby Wynn Nate Lowe
Dansby
Lineup lock, roll the dice hoping Mookie plays, or listen to Kevin @ Get him in your Lineup and sub in Parker Meadows for Mook?
I’d wait until the Dodgers say something later today
Drop Manzardo for the eternal prospect CES? Keeper with no contracts.
Points redraft: in the event sheets goes IL, drop Sheets for Muncy at CI?
No
Ok
Soderstrom or Christian Walker 6×6 OPS
Soder
I was think of offering Rice plus Mize plus Carpenter to get Chourio or Ramos?
Would you propose that trade? If yes, who would you try and get; Chourio or Ramos?
Thanks!!!
Sure, either…Chourio 1st
Thanks!!!
No problem
Grey,
With Jac Cags up, do you drop Anheiser Michael Busch, Will Benson, or Die Hard McLain? 12 team OPS league. Thanks.
Benson
That Pfaadt POS. I had ERA & WHIP locked up for the week. Woulda benched him but I was close in W, K, & QS.
After that start I was no longer close in any pitching category.
“Yes hitter” is pretty damn funny though, cap tip to whoever came up with that one.
Yeah, indeed
Also bummed to get 0 K.
Who would you rather take a shot on: ryne nelson, abel or Gavin williams? Qs league
Abel
Nelson technically isn’t in the rotation yet. Does your preference change if Burnes is out for a while or is Abel your preference in general?
Meh, what’s the matchup? Ryne doesn’t seem more than a streamer
Mahle 2 on the road (TB, Wash) or Sonny (LAD), Birdsong (ATL) or start Helsley and Estevez. Points league 2 saves is like Birdsongs W yesterday. Thx in advance.
Helsley and Estevez
NL only Roto ROS: Jerar Encarnacion (assuming a very soon call up) or Max Muncy?
Thanks & great stuff as always!
Muncy
Thoughts on cutting on R. Lewis and trading him for B. Woodruff? I don’t love trading for injured pitchers, but is the upside worth it?
No
Drop Doyle for Jeremy Pena?
Meh
Safe to start Mookie despite this toe thing? Alternatives boil down to Maikel Garcia (also DTD) Chase Medroith or Kristian Campbell.
I wouldn’t be shocked if Betts hits the IL by tonight
Do you expect Happ to get going? He has been very disappointing. He has 3 hr. I was expecting something like 80/25/80/10.
He’s still leading off and playing everyday for one of the best offenses in baseball. He is a plug and play, the production will be there in the end
Happ so
Even though it’s at the Yankees, still gotta go Crochet, right? Other option would be Bradley home against Miami.
Yes
Some interesting weekend drops in my league (standard 5×5 12 team) :
Steer
Arenado
Baez
Josh Smith
Any worthy of blowing my top waiver wire on?
Potential drops are McLain, Zebby and Baz. I want to believe in these three but their rope has gotten thin. Already have Hoerner, BLowe and Maikel at MI, and my pitching is great otherwise.
We have a small keeper contingent but none of these would be in consideration anyway.
“interesting”
I don’t think you can start Zebby rn but what are you doing with more bench bats?
Fair point. Thank you
No problem
Oh happy day Mr Grey
I have to sit 2 out of this list;
Strider vAZ, @SF
McCullers @PIT, @CLE
SGray vLAD
Ober @A’s
Wacha @CHW
Taj vMIA
Lodolo vAZ
BBrown @DET
Bello vLAA
also DPeterson @LAD
I’m sitting D. Peterson…Bello
In H2H 12 team league which does OBP instead of average. My offense is stacked where I have studs on bench and looking to trade for a 3b which is my one somewhat weak spot. My roster is
C – Baldwin
1 – Bellinger
2b – Aranda
3b- Willi Castro
SS – Elly
OF – Acuna
OF – Langford
OF – Julio Rod
Utility – Seiya
Utility – Green
Bench: Soderstrom, Maikel (injured but was previously manning my 3b), and now Caglione; also have Roman in my NA spot in waiting
Would you trade Seiya and Greene for Jose Ramirez or is that too much? Is Julio plus one of Caglione/Soderstrom/Roman for Ramirez’s something to consider? Or hold?
Thanks as always
I’d take JoRam
Thanks. Would you do either deal? If so, would you prefer to do Seiya and Greene or Julio and his choice of Caglione/Soderstrom? Thanks again
JoRam is far and away winner of either trade…Send Seiya
I thought it was poor on the part of the manager not pulling Luzardo earlier and leaving him out there when he was getting shelled the way he was.
Who do you prefer in a QS and W league – Cease or Luzardo?
Yup…Cease
Please rank Gallen, Baz, Taj Bradley, and McCullers.
Taj, Gallen
Cut one from this group? Keeper/dynasty
Parker Meadows, Cowser, Willi Castro, Josh Smith, Larnach, Spencer Steer
Larnach
PCA or Seiya?
PCA
Would you drop Burger or Matt Shaw for a flyer on Meadows?
Thanks.
Burger
Need pitching. Your thoughts on a Sale and Pena for Oneil Cruz swap?
Works for me
Hi Grey. Can take 2 between meadows-cole young-barger ? Thanks
Not Young
Logan O’Hoppe or Yainer Diaz?
Logan
Thanks, Grey!
No problem
Sandy vs.COL
SON loves it
For a weekly match up would you go for it?
No, drop, unless dynasty
3B options 12team H2H points redraft:
Max Muncy, Matt Shaw or Addison Burger
Barger, Burger, Addison, Jake
ha sorry meant addison Barger…drop matt shaw for Barber though? ty for advice always
Shaw’s been good last week
Oh great Grey –
drop Riley for Maikel or Eugenio?
I don’t know who Riley is but I doubt it
if it’s austin riley and i’m in you league then absolutely
Haha
Hi Grey,
Would you drop Aroldis Chapman for Eury Perez if you had enough closers?
Thanks!
Mike.
Eury re
No
Thank you!
No problem
“Hit the IL with plantar fasciitis. The oblique of the foot.” – legit made me laugh out loud in my office. This is why I have used this site for the last forever years.
Ha, thanks!

Greene or Pages in the OF?
Greene or Ozuna at DH?
Wilson
Greene
Ozuna
This week only, ESPN points
Civale, @Cin, vs SD (2starts)
Or
Emilio Pagan vs Mil (3) vs Az (3)
Pagan
I wonder based on a lower question would u actually sit hoskins for cag? Or is that just because of his food. both 6 games hoskins @cin Padres cag is @ stl @ white Sox
my other ponder was Dr Pants diagnosed Semien as moving a bit after initially diagnosed as diceased. I’m using shaw at 2b with Westburg on IL. How do you value these lowly 2s.
2b or not 2b. I hate Shakespeare!!!
Haha…I’d start Cag for s’s and g’s, if you need s’s and g’s…but Hoskins’s matchups sound better
West, Semien
ok so for things I dont have someone to question I’m flipping my fantasy coin heads hoskins, tails cag! Tails never fails and it came up tails. I wanted tails too for the S and G! I’ll be back here crying if fate hurts my feelings. Thanks homie
man that coin tiss really tickled my S and G bone!!!! Hype!
Is Royce Lewis droppable? (Redraft league)
Nah
hey Grey,
F Tatis Jr and E Tovar
for
Ozuna and Neto.
which side you prefer?
Tatis
Please rank Mike Soroka , Ben Brown and Chad Patrick
Brown, Chad
Cole Young or Shaw?
Shaw
Someone trying to deal me Yordan (10th rounder) for my caglione (25th) Rounder. What side you got
Yordan
Someone trying to deal me Yordan (11th rounder) for my caglione (25th) Rounder. What side you got
Due to FOMO wanna get Jac in the lineup. Who do you think should sit- Naylor or Hoskins. Naylor has slightly tougher match ups but Hoskins is so streaky.
Hoskins
Cheers
great show!
Sir Grey – need a little help for 3B – loosing Breg stunk. Have Juicy Burger (played him, rough last week for all), Baty (grabbed later), Norby, Cam Smith and India? Or grab Barger? ** traded for Juicy when not sure about Goldy and has played out ok so far :)
Full Dynasty so I have some long term interests in mind? Also playing Betts at 2B so if he gets bumped (no pun) I got Norb, Bat and India? Sit Betts ??
So please rank if do not mind: 3B mainly and 2B if bored…
Thanks and ‘preciate ya! Cheers~
Burger, Barger
Cool Cool! Thanks as always!
No problem
Hey Grey! Who would you rather have ROS Abrams or Seager?
Also, would you drop any of Taj, Barger, or Reed Garrett (SVHDs league) for Wacha, Bibee, or Warren?
CJ
Barger or Wacha is apples/oranges
Got it thanks. Fair abt barger/wacha, I just meant more do you think its worth dropping the last hitter on my bench to roster Wacha
I do
we just got married
I haven’t seen a word about Ronny Mauricio on this site. Absolutely raking on rehab assignment, and nothing but mediocrity in front of him at the big league level.
He’s a prospect, more Itch’s field
Saves only league, do you prefer Fairbanks or Vest ?
Vest
Grey –
Points League
ROS at 1B: Walker, Flores, or Hoskins
Do you think the Young call up affects J. Polanco’s playing time? Big time slump and close to dropping. Statcast page still very red.
Walker
Yes on Polanco
Thanks!
No problem
Hey Hey good morning Grey. Like lots I am on the catcher merry-go-around. Currently rostering Drake Baldwin. Stephenson, Moreno, Kirk, Murphy, and Narvaez are on the wire. We have a limited number of adds per season and I have already used, sigh, 3 on catchers. ROS, stay put or add one of these guys? Thanks!
Hold
Flores or Rice ROS?
Flores
GM Grey
who are you starting these five? H2H points league…..kirby has 2 starts BAL and LAA Miller has LAA
Also drop any of these for Abel now that he is heading back?
M Kelly T Bradley R Suarez C Horton N Lodolo
S Baz(R)
B Miller(R)
G Kirby(R)
B Woodruff(I)
Topper left luzardo in too long he just did’nt have the stuff …hopefully that beat down does not get in his head he was looking like a cy-young candidate

What order ROS do you like these guys in a small and shallow daily roto with QS and W?
Joe Ryan, Pivetta, Strider, Cease
Ryan, Cease, Pivetta
think The Regressions have senga’s start at coors circled on their calendar?
Damn, a lot of people are gonna bench him there and miss the regression
i put him in just for you, greg. who am i to deny you life’s purest pleasure?
HAHA
I’d start Alek Manoah in Coors right now
Drop Noot and pick up Durbin?
noot has been pretty solid. 12.7 on the award winning player rater, 5.1 on the ros rater. durbin is a -6 on both. you seeing something in durbin?
Noot
Cole young or chase medreith? Carlos Santana, salvy or soderstrom
Young
Soder
Picked up Faulcher for like the 5th time, I’m sure this one will go better
You’d think I’d know how to spell his name by now
Haha
Interested to hear your thoughts on whether you think Bubic will have his innings limited in the second half like Crochet had last year? Unlike the White Sux, the Royals are hoping for playoffs this year, but Bubic threw under 50 innings the last two years combined and he’s already at 75 this year. I thought maybe I would try to sell him when he gets to 100 IP? Even though he leads the league in ERA, I still don’t feel he would fetch the value he’s worth in a trade yet, but I don’t want 4IP, 4IP, 4IP, 4IP on my roster.
i’d bet they push him to the max. it’s not like he’s a prospect. now or nevet.
I don’t see why he’d be limited if he’s healthy, teams don’t limit 27 year olds
Morning Grey! Shallow 5×5 roto league questions, in a vacuum…

Just a point of information. ELDC’s sister passed away in the DR and it’s quite possible we’re looking at a bereavement leave this week. Contingency plans might be in order.
Gotcha
Grey, was offered Buxton and Naylor for Joe Ryan and Bryan Reynolds
Seems like a slam dunk, but Ryan is probably my best SP.
12 team Roto, my staff without Ryan would be: Strider, Sonny Gray, Dylan Cease, Clarke Schmidt, and Will Warren
Take it and stream
Ryan side, it’s fair
ESPN Points, ROS only…
Need to drop one, which one?
Emilio Pagan or Jordan Romano?
(not sure of Romano’s closer status)
Thanks
Romano
Great recap!
ESPN Points, ROS only, please evaluate trade
Jordan Westburg

MacKenzie Gore
(Westburg replacement would be Norby)
Gore
Need to drop either
Adolis Garcia or Marcelo Mayer
Shallow Keeper league
Mayer
Starting Meyer vs Colorado or pick up mick for upside
Start Meyer
Morning Grey – Happy Monday.
Need a 3B until Westburg returns. I can grab Vargas or Burger off the wire and drop Tovar or I was offered Royce Lewis for Lars Noot.
I’m thinking Burger, but what say you?
Burger
Justin Martinez with a super clean inning. maybe ready to take that job and run.
[on Thursday of this week] Martinez isn’t bouncing back properly, might need another IL stint
boooooo
or Woo, the only starts that Mariners pitcher is capable of
if it’s a meh start it’s an oh boo woo?
Haha, injury: boo boo, unlucky start: boo hoo
12 team keeper league (daily)

Bench: B. Harper, K. Harrison, M. Liberatore, T. Bibee.
IL: L. Gilbert and E. Perez.
My pitching has been outstanding overall.
I’m trying to upgrade my hitting.
Guy in league is t trying to trade F. Lindor for pitching. I come up with F. Lindor and J. Naylor for Peralta, Bibee, Robert and Hopkins? I have a big lead in Sb’s too so would love to get rid of Robert. Sounds good? I feel can take the chance since sounds like L. Gilbert comes back soon and E. Perez plus could stream pitching.
Sounds terrible
What are thoughts about Ronny Mauricio?
Seems like he’s hit the ground running
Hi,
12 teams dynasty league :
Steer or Meadows ?
Thanks

Bibee (HOU, @NYY)
Flaherty (CHC, @CHW)
Bibee
I go back and forth on whether getting oak jr into fantasy baseball is good parenting or terrible parenting. watching him watch that pffffffffffffffaadt oberhoucking was rough. but then there’s the glee when acuna goes deep. it was the best of times it was the worst of times.
HAHA, I’d say it’s good life lessons to build up callouses that come with a Pfaadt-type start, but 30 years later it still hurts so much, lol
i’m keeping oberhoucking in the rotation btw
I am too, let’s go down with the ship!
Getting involved is a good thing loaded with teachable moments.
when he says, “what do you think of” such and such guy, i say, “what do you see on statcast and fangraphs?”. the beginnings of data analysis.
Great stuff Grey!
Looks like Andres Gimenez is back this week. Which one of these guys would you sit this week?
Gimenez (6, PHI, @MIN)
Schanuel (6, SEA, @BOS)
Lux (6, MIL, ARI)
All of them? I guess Lux
HA! That never gets old!
Morning Grey!
It looks like Vest is just the closer in DET now. Which three would you go with this week?
Suarez (7, @SF, MIL)
Bautista (6, @SEA, @ATH)
Pagan (6, MIL, ARI)
Vest (7, CHC, @CHW)
Suarez, Vest, Felix

Tylor Megill
Thanks!
Winn — Horton, Megill
Yordan incident reminds me of Jacoby Ellsbury (2010). In Apr, he collided with Beltre and BoSox doctor said “Minor back sprain … Day-to-day” for a few weeks until they re-assessed it to 6 broken ribs and he was DL for 4 weeks. He returned for 3 days …. complained about pain … and they realized the ribs had not healed (He eventually missed rest of season).
I think some team doctors are actually PHD’s
Ha, yup!
Bryson Stott (@TOR, @PIT this wk) was just dropped in my 12 tm HTH league, drop Jackson Holliday (@SEA, @ATH) to get him or hold? Also Alec Bohm over Matt Shaw for 3B?
Stott > Holliday — No, Shaw
Hey Grey! will check out e-Cab, thanks. With King and Eovaldi on IR,rotation is down to Woo-Rasmussen-Ober-Ranger-Boyd… not awful but not enough…
Gotcha
Hi Grey – 12 team league here and wanted to ask:
1) would you trade Libertore for Lawrence Butler?
2) would you rather Sal Frelick or Jordan Beck.
3) Tyler Stephenson or Hunter Goodman.
4) if you had to keep two out of Jon Aranda, Turang, or Baty who would you keep.
Who do think this week at 3B- Hot Barger or good match ups Vientos?
Barger Phil (home) and @ Minn
Vientos @LAD and @ Col
Barger
Saturday had 3 of the 20 worst starts of the season, but Gray and Schwellenbach made the top half of the 100 Best Fantasy Starts list. Williams and Crochet earned spots on the back half on Sunday, though Crochet’s is certainly temporary:
36 Sonny Gray @TEX
50 Spencer Schwellenbach vs BOS
56 Gavin Williams vs LAA
99 Garrett Crochet @ATL
Lance McCullers held the worst start for just 3 weeks before Pfaadt rescued him.
They were so brutal
Yordan, Luzardo–I’m screaming too, Grey
Ugh, I know
Grey!!!!
Awesome!
Rodney Dangerfield quote of the day for June 2, 2025
No respect, I solved my drinking problem. I joined alcoholics anonymous. I still drink but I use a different name, that’s all.
Cheers,
Ante
Thanks!
Is Paul Blackburn’s potential start against the Rockies worth the risk of it not happening and/or having to get thru the Dodgers first? Given this is literally his first start and he’s Paul Blackburn. Feels like this is a big test of what you should do to try to get that juicy COL matchup, haha.
It’s a weekly lineup league. I’m currently starting Luke Weaver, Jason Adam, T Bibee, Noah Cameron, z eflin, Sonny Gray, L McCullers, A Munoz, Ranger Suarez, Framber.
Other options on my bench are Giolito, Ober, Quintana, in case you think any of those are better options than Blackburn to replace anyone i have currently active. (Pretty easy decision that someone has to go in if Weaver winds up IL’d tomorrow)
Nope — I don’t know if they’re better options, I don’t know their matchups
Cease for Abbott. who would you want?
push
12 team points league.
Burger or Stott?
Would you drop Castellanos for Barger or hold?
Thanks as always!
Stott — hold
Gunnar Henderson has 15 rbi in 51 games!!! I only bring this up because I keep losing points in rbi every day. I keep thinking it will get get better. I really don’t know why.
I mean caminero just had 11 rbi over a 3 day period. Devers had 33 rbi in the month of May!! This is the same guy i had last year who put up 22 rbi the entire second half and was unplayable due to a shoulder injury. That same injury bothered him this year in spring and I avoided him like the plague.
I know, brutal
One more quick note on RBIs.
Ozuna has 25 rbi in 55 games. He has a 20% bb%. He is killing the ball when he swings. Why isn’t anyone ever on base for him? 7 of his 10 hr have been solo shots. He hits 3rd
Braves most disappointing offense of last 2 years
My current RF is Kerry Carpenter.
1. Would you waive him to pick up Travor Larnach?
I have trying to trade Rice for a pitcher (see question below).
2. Would you try and trade Rice for a RF? Any thoughts on possible RFs.
Thanks for all your help!
The other manager refused my offer of Rice for Abbott. I am not sure of trading for Weathers after his poor start today. Birdsong and Taillon had good starts
.
1. Would you try and trade Rice for Weathers, Birdsong or Taillon? My regular 1B is Josh Baylor.
2. Barry Falter is on the wire. His next starts is at SD and home vs
Phil and home vs Miami. Is he a must have?
3. Another pitcher on the wire is Ryan Yarbrough. His next two starts are home and away against the Red Sox.
Would you pick up either Falter or Ryan Yarbrough?
Have a great week!
Falter was just picked up by another manager. Thoughts on Ryan Yarbrough. His next two starts are at home and away vs Boston.
Thoughts?
Sure
Ober failed to go 5 innings for the 3rd time in his last 4 starts. 2 of those 4 he pitched 4 innings or less. His velocity is down. He can’t put away hitters. His k rate has plummeted. I feel like an implosion is coming. His era is a full run lower than his siera and xFIP.
Yeah
