With the trade deadline behind us, teams have taken shape for their stretch run. Some teams made some small moves to address areas of concerns. Some teams went out and made some trades like the Padres, where they consolidated five teams into one massive Superteam that could invade a country. “Hey, what’s up Mexico? Or should I say ‘Que paso?’ We’ve got Trent Grisham holding your El Presidente hostage and we’re going to be needing all of your natural resources.” Sorry, that’s a spoiler alert, because that’s how the show Narcos ends, with the Padres invading Mexico. Then some other teams took a more conservative approach and just simply brought up a top prospect. Enter: the Dodgers’ Miguel Vargas. Here’s what Prospect Itch said about him, “I’ve been trying to trade for Vargas in several of my leagues for a long time, and I’m not giving up now. In 83 AA games, the 6’3” 205 lb Vargas slashed .321/.386/.523 with 16 HR and 7 SB. Math isn’t my first language, but that would prorate out to an acceptable fantasy campaign, I think. His best trait is a double-plus hit tool that lets his solid power play up. Only thing he’s missing is a left hook to knock out Grey.” Okay, not cool. This year, Vargas did more of the same, going 15/123/.291 in Triple-A with a 14.6% strikeout rate. For a 22-year-old, those numbers are muy bueno, as the Padres would say after invading Mexico. Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
BUY
Jose Trevino – Been a pretty cool story going on with Trevino and the Yankees. So cool, they never wanted to be without one, so they went out and got another Trivino for laundry day.
Jose Miranda – Twins saw a market inefficiency, and have a new type of Moneyball thing going, but for pitchers who have great command and hitters with solid hit tools. They did it with Luis Arraez, and now they’re doing it with Jose Miranda. Only Miranda’s got a trick up his sleeve. An illusion, if you will. He could hit for power too.
Aledmys Diaz – Was one of the top guys on the 7-day Player Rater, but, appizzarently, the Astros don’t look at Razzball, because they went out and got Mancini, so might hurt Diaz’s playing time a bit.
Seth Brown – This guy just sounds like an Oakland A’s player, right? Just something super boring about a Seth Brown. “Hey, what do you know about the A’s newest left fielder, Bill Beige?”
Luis Rengifo – “When you find a Puerto Rican restaurant that makes good Rengifo, you never never forget where it is, and that’s why I’m in downtown Santa Fe at this little joint run by three sisters. The Three Sisters Cafe!” That’s Guy Fieri having an acid flashback.
Michael Massey – Just gave you my Michael Massey fantasy. It was my Emmys submission.
Nolan Gorman – When you hear it’s time to go-go on NoGo, and you’re like so-so and I’m like, “‘So-so’ as in mediocre or ‘so-so’ as in you need more convincing?” Then it’s the latter “so-so” so, uh, so, I tell ya NoGo has 26 homers this year in roughly a half a season, when combining the majors and Triple-A. Nothing mediocre so-so about that.
Nico Hoerner – This is about this week, which is what I say right before making it not about this week. Hoerner’s stats prorating out over a full season looking like 12/20/.300 are making my 2023 sleeper muscles twitch a little bit.
Orlando Arcia – Albies is still a few weeks away, and Arcia has been hitting recently. Hey, if it’s good enough for a defending World Series champion, I think you can handle it.
Paul DeJong – Colonel Mustard with a plunger in the bathroom after eating Taco Bell.
Alec Bohm – Damn, those 2023 sleeper muscles are twitching again. Quiet, 2023 sleeper muscles! You’re supposed to be about this week! “But Bohm looks like the guy we thought he was going into last year before he flamed out!” That’s the 2023 Sleeper Muscles, unable to keep their mouth shut.
Joey Wendle – Mr. Wendle is a classic track from Arrested Development about how occasionally even a ballplayer, who is a bum, is decent enough to be worth rostering.
Mark Vientos – Do we have our first September call-up stash? Hmm. *emoji with its hand on chin, looking around like Wey Bey from The Wire when he’s making the “You don’t say” reaction*
James Outman – This guy sounds like a superhero who’s trying to hide the fact that he’s really great at baseball with some phony modest name. “Hey, aren’t you Ray Kerr?” “Nah, man, not me. I’m James Outman. That Ray Kerr guy is too good though, huh?”
Cal Mitchell – “When you’re a housewife, stressed, and you just need some time alone, why not slide yourself into a tub with some…” Holds up bubble bath, “…Calm Itchell.”
Corey Dickerson – Fun fact! Male Siamese Twins are sometimes called Co-Dick. That’s also a nickname for Corey Dickerson. What a Co-Dickydink.
Brandon Marsh – After his trade, it was revealed that this was not the first time Marsh was mentioned around the Philly clubhouse. Ya see, the trainers had been seeing something related. WebMD says “Marsh-ass” is “swamp-ass but scratchier” and is what you get when you’ve been wearing a mascot costume all day. The Phanatic has been suffering from this for a long time. Hopefully, they figure that out! So, super intrigued by Marsh in his new home. He was a guy who I wrote a sleeper post about last year because he’s got fantastic speed and some light power. That power could play up in Philly, which is a better stadium, and they might just let him run too.
Bubba Thompson – Just gave you my Bubba Thompson fantasy. It took a gondola over to the glass-blowing factory.
Josh Palacios – This guy’s name translated made me laugh for some reason — Josh Palace. It sounds like what a 15-year-old would call his bedroom. Wonder if Josh Palace has any chicks over in the right field corner in Washington.
Jose Siri – I feel like I’m getting known as the guy who loves Jose Siri more than anyone else love Jose Siri, so I’m going to downplay things for right now, but I will say he’s got power and speed, and you’d be impressed by him too, if you saw him.
Nick Lodolo – This is a Streamonator call, like the call it makes to its old high school.
Chris Flexen – This is also a Streamonator call. “I didn’t graduate, I was built in the science class, but I was wondering if I could still attend the 10-year reunion.”
Ryan Tepera – Think the Angels will go to Tepera for most of their saves, as long as he isn’t too frightened after hearing the ump say, “Batter up!”
Jonathan Hernandez – Rangers are prolly the worst run franchise, which stinks for me to say because I always liked their GM, Chris Young. I had dreams of him helping me win a pickup basketball game state championship. But the Rangers are just so bad in every way. They even had a decent closer, and decided, “Meh, let’s try other guys for no reason.” Enter: Jonathan Hernandez.
Zach Jackson – With the loss of Trivino, Jackson should be in the lead for saves, and have the dozens of A’s fans screaming for Zackson Jackson! To paraphrase Redman, “It’s time it’s time for some Zackson!” But A.J. Puk and Dany Jimenez are there too. Lowercase A’s.
Rowan Wick – *wears turtleneck, holds candle in front of face* Extreme Kathleen Turner voice, “Your Wick is my command.”
Wil Crowe – Some of these closers could also be classified under the letter H for, “How desperate are you?”
Felix Bautista – Might not be as good as Jorge Lopez is now on the Twins, but only because Felix is still on the Orioles, but but the Orioles were winning a lot of games, then again the Orioles traded away Trey Mancini, then again again was he doing that much? “Was he doing that much?!” That’s Josh Lowe’s cheek.
SELL
Juan Soto – I am the devil! I can’t even look at myself in the mirror! Suggesting to sell Juan Soto? What kind of evil are you malarkey’ing?! Be gone from the head of Grey, you evil warlord! So, I still love Juan Soto. I kinda love, love, lurve him. He’s 23 and feels already like a lock for the Hall of Fame in 20 years. Possibly one of the greatest we will ever see when it’s all said and done. With that said (here’s where Grey turns the ship around), Sexy Dr. Pepper is a 10/4/.280 hitter the rest of the way. All projections put him down for that. That’s great! Don’t get me wrong, but that is also what you could get from about 30 other guys. With the trade to San Diego, Juan Soto’s the apple of everyone’s eye, so if you need another piece, now is the time to sell him. I’m not saying to sell Juan Soto for an off-brand pet rock, but I would go to our Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer and explore options.
C- MJ
CI- Freeman, Miranda, Tellez
MI – Polanco, Gleyber, Lindor
OF – 5 Acuna, Stanton, Robert, Jul Rod, Mount
Util: Alek or Urias
IL- Wander
SP – McClan, Nola, Cease, Mahle, L Garcia
RP- Hader, Diaz, Bautista, Montero
One pick open when I drop Carson tomorrow.
Couple trades on deadline have altered my squad quite a bit. Seeking advice on areas to shore up via the WW now that the league’s trade deadline has past. Playoffs are a given in my h2h league so thinking ahead to September.
I have one open selection. With the squad would you use it to:
1. stream (Gibson home vs Marlins looks best – so far from a sure thing) sharing that to point out the pitching is thin.
2. Add another OF (Pham or Dozier) since Stanton, JulRod and Acuna are so dicey.
3. Or take a flier on Luzardo, May, Quintana, Kirby with their various issues – health, innings limits
4. Or grab another reliever : Scott or Kennedy for saves or lots of guys for holds. (Munoz, Phillips, Vesia)
Grey, are you intrigued at stashing Dustin May?
I’ve got an open IR spot, deal with it Tommy Pham
Heaney at KC or Kopech home v DET this week?
Eduardo Escobar or Gavin Lux ROS?
Thank you!
Both are a little alive – Hanniger or O’Neill?
Hey Grey,
I hope you’re doing well.
Do you drop any of my pitchers for Marcus Stroman? Side note, I was thinking Eovaldi as his next start is Friday against the Yankees . Thanks!
Eovaldi
Ranger Suarez
Musgrove
Javier
Springs
Wood
Morton
Carrasco
Martin Perez
Thanks!
What a week! Entered it tied for first, leaving it in third place. Every decision wrong today. Carson over MJ, kept Montero in despite not needing holds and lost WHIP by .01, then dropped Pham when he was 0-3 today (with a horrible last 40 days) only to see him get two hits. Acuna, well that was a very poor first round pick. Moving on, I feel better now that I am done whining…ugh.
here is the team and WW options:
C- MJ (OF eligible)
CI – 3 Freeman, Miranda, Tellez
MI – 3 Lindor, Gleyber, Polanco
OF – 5 Robert, Acuna, JulRod, Happ, Alek
Util – L Urias
IL: Wander
WW: Pham, Walsh, Peralta, Carson, Dozier, Bohm
1. I have one pickup…,given my OF injury issues I guess I am leaning there. Who is best (probably Pham since I dropped him to get MJ lol)
2. Would you replace Urias with Bohm or hold?
1. Pham 2. Urias
Thanks. I just traded Happ and Montas for Stanton and Mount. So I wasted your time there. Sorry.
I’m not dissing him because I have used him twice this week for a 0.64 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 1 QS but do you think that when Graham Ashcraft strikes someone out, it’s an accident?
HAHA
Luzardo looks great today. Do you trust him enough to drop Kopech or Ranger Suarez for him? If so,who is the drop or hold? Thanks!
Yes, lose Kopech
Keeper league, I was offered Pete Alonso for my Tim Anderson and my 11th and 12th round draft picks next year and 11th in 2024. This is a keep 10, 12 team roto league, so those are my first picks after keeper spots. I really like Alonso but does that seem too high? Or take the best player and run? I can try to negotiate down a bit but may not have much luck.
How much higher do you think Alonso will be ranked than Anderson next year?
Thanks!
For context, this would be a win now move, but an improvement for next year is nice too.
I’d want Alonso…Prolly top 25 vs. top 50 next year
Thanks, even with the hefty pick package?
It seems a bit hefty unless that guarantees you the win this year
Guess I picked the wrong day to use both SPs in the Cards – Yankees series.
Ha, damn
1. I was offered Mount for my Happ. It is not like Happ is on fire but at least he gets on base. Our league counts ten hitting cats so I think he is more valuable than Mount but am intrigued. Mount’s .150 average and huge K rate has me spooked. WDYT?
2. Is Pham a drop in a 12 teamer. I would replace with Iglesias or Bohm
1. Hold 2. Sure, Bohm
10 team nl only ops over runs. Drop Kebryan for Montero at 3rd or hold? Thanks!
Meh, hold
Hi Grey,
1. Would you waive Rowdy Tellez or Michael Harris II to get Aledyms Diaz? Another option is to waive Carson Kelly and take Aledyms Diaz. What would you do?
2. yesterday was a disaster. i pitched both Aaron Ashby and Pablo Lopez. i would love to waive one. Am i being too emotional? Would you still keep one or both? i am thinking of waiving Ashby. The current possible options include Kyle Gibson or James Kaprielian. Am i wrong to not to be impressed with either Gibson or Kaprielian?
how is your recovery? Good luck!
martin
1. Kelly 2. You can lose Ashby…Gibson and Kaprielian are not good tho, and not replacements for him
I feel better, thanks!
thanks!
No problem
Grey,
Start Semien or Profar at UTIL? THanks.
Semien
a guy is offering Harrison Bader and Brayan Rocchio for my Cedric Mullins
I countered with my profar for Bader
Meh
which is meh and which one hold
Bader is meh
Hold
Rank top three
Lux
Naylor
Candelario
Paredes
Naylor, Lux, Jeimer
12 teamer OBP over AVG, total bases added h2h. drop which of joc, naquin, grichuk, thinking a few days ago this might’ve been naquin, but he’s for sure on the good side of the him/canha platoon for sure by now we can see and doing well in that time.
Grichuk
1. Does Muncy’s decent week give you any hope he is “fixed”? I got an offer Muncy for my Gleyber who has been ice cold but a .165 BA is tough to ignore. So i held for now. I would probably do L Urias just for upside tho. Thoughts on all this?
2. Did you see Clev pitch tonight? Thought he could be a decent but low after tonight but did not see his stuff.
3. Kwan and Muncy for Gleyber and either Urias or Pham work?
I’d want Gleyber 2. Yeah, he looked decent 3. Meh
Put me back on the Oneil Cruz train, low batting average, but otherwise the guy is Action Jackson
Now hitting 5th, something tells me he could be a difference maker in the playoffs
Fun guy to roster at any rate
Cub fan here…Grey is steering you right per usual…Stroman is pitching much better since his return and looks to be a solid stream Tuesday against the Nats
Cruz is so fun, hopefully he makes some contact
Should I just flat out drop Manaea and/or Eovaldi? Possibilities to take their place include Stroman, Kaprellian, and Kutter.
Yes, both, Stroman and Kutter
@Grey: 12 team weekly roto. Would you stream either of these guys next week?
Kirby @ Tex
Stroman vs was
Thanks!
Stroman
Is Eovaldi a drop for Quintana? I figured that if he’s getting knocked around by the Royals, he will get destroyed by the AL East. I also have Singer and Braxton Garrett, but I like their upside. 12 team 5×5 categories redraft. Thanks!
Yup
Which side in 12 tm OBP/QS:
Adolis Garcia or Edwin Diaz
Manoah ($13 keeper) or Woodruff/Romano
Depends on needs…Adolis…Woodruff
Thank you sir, hope you’re feeling better each day
Thanks!
Story trash ROS?
Roto redraft give Schwarber/Winker, get Jose Abreu?
Meh, he’s injured…I’d want Schwarber
Hey Grey! How would you rank these arms in a keep forever?
Freddy Peralta $10
Javier $3
Wright $8
Valdez $12
Kirby $4
Bassitt $6
Heaney $5
Springs $4
Ty anderson $4
Thanks!
Javier, Freddy, Framber
Javier ftw! Thanks!
I’m behind on the pod but hope you’re feeling better from whatever’s ailing!
Ha, thanks! I had Covid but am feeling better
Hi Grey thanks for your cool articles!
roto redraft, would you drop Giolito for Manaea or Stroman?
Need a super buy low outfielder who can help my batting average!!!
Nah
Does Holmes still keep his closer role?
Seeming more unlikely
I have a shot at getting into 4th place and about $150 prize or trade a too expensive Scherzer next year for a $6 Strider who I can keep till his arm blows out.
It is an NL 260 league that’s deep $5/year raise.
PS a consolation of 5-6 place means no raise for SOTO, 22 next year who is a keeper for 3 more years at his salary now.
Without Max Scherzer I can’t hold 6th place.
To the question….Trade Max and get Strider for about 4 more years OR keep Scherzer and Maybe stay in the middle of the pack and as a consolation have Soto an extra year? And on top of that Maybe even win a few $$$.
PSS Thanks for telling me to not trade Soto and hang in there now I get to keep him since he did not go to the AL U are a GENius
Ha No problem
Keep Scherzer
@Grey: weekly roto redraft. Amed Rosario for India? Who do you like?
India
I got offered A) Mancini, France, and Raisel for my B) Luis Robert and Edwin Diaz. I’m fighting for a playoff spot, and I only have Diaz and Holmes, so I can’t afford to lose Diaz for Raisel who’s not promised saves.
Seeing Mancini go off has me wanting to ask which side wins?
Robert side is better
Hey G man!
Any reason not to take Gio for my Rogers? Guy offered that and I assume he is about to drop him….
Also need BA and NO POWER, gonna deal Schwammer, any ideas for OF????
No reason at all
Hmm…Lourdes and Benintendi? Arraez and Benintendi or Lourdes? Marte? Robert and Lux? Vaughn and Lourdes? Or Vaughn and any of the others?
I’m trying to win my points 12 team keeper league. I’ve been offered Miranda and Cortes for my 3rd round pick (keep six so 9th round) or Rodon and Miranda for my 2nd round pick (8th rd overall). Spend the extra for Rodon?
Rodon better keeper value probably too
Oh, Rodon is a better keeper? I need more info then
Rodon has been a bit better than Nestor in pts league. Mostly due to the Ks
Rodon is better, but depends on keeper situation
My 6 now would be: Freeman, Bichette, LuBob, Springer, Gausman, Verlander
With the trades I’d probably keep Cortes/Rodon and throw back Springer. (And trade one of the arms in the off-season for a bat, or just keep Springer)
Gotcha, then go for Rodon
Snake draft so 2nd vs 3rd round could be 20ish spots
Take Miranda/Cortes
Wow. Franmil DFA’d
Holy crap
Need a W without sacrificing WHIP/ERA this Sunday. Who should I bet on Sunday?
Boston’s Crawford against KCR
Baltimore’s Watkins against PIT
Miami’s Luzardo against CHC
Cubs Sampson against MIA
Seattle’s Gonzales against LAA
I like Luzardo among the options but I feel a win is questionable given the offense.
Home or away matters…gonna say Kutter but might change if I knew locations
How about this? And I added Irvin now that I noticed he’s pitching against Webb Sunday.
# Away
BOS’s Crawford away @ KCR’s Keller
MIA’s Luzardo away @ CHC’s Sampson
# Home
BAL’s Watkins vs PIT’s Wilson
CHC’s Sampson vs MIA’s Luzardo
SEA’s Gonzales vs LAA’s Davidson
OAK’s Irvin vs SF’s Webb
I’m between Marco, Irvin and Kutter…that order, but I don’t have strong feelings on any of them
Thanks! Yeah, lacking confidence in these picks is why I’m so indecisive. No clear winners here.
Yeah, exactly…No problem
Catchers ugh…. Have Vaz and thought the trade to Houston looked fine. Not so sure now. I can be patient and see what develops or drop for Carson or MJ. Leaning MJ just on the amount of bats he gets….our league has ten hitting cats so that is appealing yet Carson hit and gets Coors next week. What say you?
Go with Carson
12 Team H2H 6×6 OPS QS Redraft
I’m currently catcher-less. Looking to stream Kelly next week. (4) vs Pit, (3) @Col.
Who is the drop:
Cobb
Sandoval
Ashby
Lauer
Luzardo
Lodolo
Thank you
Luzardo
1. Please rank: L Urias, Pham, Happ.
2. Then would you trade Mahle and the worst guy from #1 for Eloy and Vaughn?
My staff: McClan, Cease, Montas, L Garcia, Mahle and Nola. WW pick up if I moved Mahle could include Detmers, Quintana, or Kap…or just stream.
Thanks
Happ, Pham 2. Yup
I’m planning to drop Polanco (who stopped hitting a few weeks ago) for Nicky Lopez. I assume small risk since Tatis returns in 2-3 weeks. Reasonable or hold?
That doesn’t sound good
Cut one
Luis Urias
O’Neill
Laureano
Or Peña
Urias
Who’s the odd man out for you here in a saves only league?
Scott, Finnegan, Crowe, Kennedy
Kennedy
Hi Grey! Great stuff!
1) can you rank these unappealing rps for sv only? …finnegan, Hernandez, wick, Jackson, Jimenez
2) ashby, suarez, quintana, detmers, s gray, may, McCullers on wire. Would you make any swaps from these sps? Mahle, Cobb
Thanks!
It’s a 10 teamer h2h
1. You did rank the. 2. Gray over Cobb
Grey you are the light of each morning!
So Rogers and Seranthony a drop right? I need saves but also need the spot to stream so…..Kennedy on waiver but UGH OOF!
If you led a league in HR and RBI, but were 8th in BA and 6th in steals, what would you do with Mancini and Schwammer?
Those RPS are meh now.
Shop Schwab, he’ll get you more and Mancini is in a HR park now.
Agreed
Haha, thanks! Yeah, can lose those RPs…I’d trade them for some steals if I could
I was at the Brewer game last night & saw Rowdy get his 2nd career steal.
Guy was so stealth there was no throw …the vid is floating around. He also hit a HR but he was much more stoked over the steal & his reaction was priceless.
Vid is linked here:
https://www.brewcrewball.com/2022/8/5/23294469/a-pair-of-home-runs-guides-brewers-to-5-1-win-over-reds
Yes!
I was watching! He’s so awesome, he pumped both hands in the air
How are you feeling about Edward Cabrera?
Extended roofie. Temptation is a wild ride though!
Yes, prolly this
He looked great! I don’t trust him fully
What’s your read on the Yankee bullpen Grey?
I didn’t watch the game so I don’t know the context, but I saw from the boxscore Clay Holmes gave up 2 ernies in the 8th, might be time for him to walk the plank
If so who would be the new closer?
Apologies for answering my own query, but I just saw Boone said Aroldis would’ve been given the save opportunity in the 9th
He was on my league’s wire, those like me in need of saves act accordingly
Thanks for the heads up!
pham vs lets go brandon lowe. hmmm
Ha
Bellinger was just dropped. While nowhere near the Bellinger of 2yrs ago, I “think” he still has value.
Would you drop anyone on my squad for him?
12-team, 6×6 (OPS/QS), H2H, Redraft league
C: W. Smith
1B: J. Bell

IL: Julio Rod., Barlow, H. Greene
Thank you kindly
I could losing Walker for him
Is Just Dong Martinez droppable in a 10 team 5×5 roto league? He’s been bad for a while, and he always seems to be in my bench rather than in my starting lineup. Probably pick up a steaming spot or SP/RP reliever to get some extra Ks when I don’t have 2 starters going.
Thoughts?
Sure, if you need an SP
Which of these SP would you deal for Kenley Jansen?
Rasmussen, Ian Anderson, Odorizzi, Alex Wood, Jordan Montgomery, Berrios
Any of them…don’t see why the other person would take any of these SPs for Kenley

Cole side
Hey Grey-
10 team NL only standard 5×5 roto keeper league. We can only make waiver claims for players when they are on the active MLB roster often making the weekly FAAB period a frenzy bidding war. I have been active in the waiver pickups throughout the season which has helped put me in a competitive position, but also as a result I’m not holding the hammer with the most $ left.
What are your thoughts in putting a healthy bid on M. Vargas to potentially outbid most others and still leave myself $ for the remaining weeks vs. Continuing to wait out a potential C. Carroll call-up, and may be left with neither?
Yeah, go Vargas and forget waiting on Carroll
What percentage of remaining FAAB would you recommend bidding in an NL only keeper league?
15%
Thanks Grey. I appreciate It may require more than 15% given the scarce waiver wire options in NL only to make an impact.
The appeal is both for this season (although appreciate playing time risk with Taylor back and JTurner back soon from IL) and beyond in keeper league. In a vacuum, would Vargas be worth considering keeping at $8 next season (with opportunity for $5 annual increases thereafter?)
If he has the job in March, he will be worth $8, impossible to say now
Hey Grey, Who would you rather start tonight? Gonsolin vs SD or Sandoval @SEA?
Gonsolin
Hey grey arozarena was just dropped in my 10 team. Do you like him over Yelich ROS?
Randy over Yelich
Cool thanks. Also Alex wood was dropped. Do you like him over Cobb, Javier or Montgomery?
Not especially…hold
I Kennedy or Seranthony for saves moving forward? Thanks!
Neither…Kennedy
Christian Walker, Ozuna, Soler, and Franmil.
Can you help me pick 2?!
Thank you!!!
Ozuna, Walker
@Grey: weekly roto redraft. two bench bats, who do you like? suzuki, grichuk, vargas and alek thomas.

Good Evening Grey,
12 Team Roto/H2H Hybrid 6×6 (OPS and QS)
I give Kirk, I get Tyler Mahle.
I can pick up carson kelly to replace Kirk, pitching def harder to find, but Kirk is so good.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
Evening! Sounds decent for you
Sooo good today Grey
Kathleen Turner line was exceptional
Appreciate!
Thanks!
Sit or start?
A. Greene @ Mil (Burnes)
B. Webb @ Oak (TBD)
C. Gilbert @ LAA (Davidson)
D. Rasmussen @ Det (Manning)
Thanks and enjoy your weekend!
I’d only sit Greene, you too!
Drop Walsh for Vargas?
Not after Walsh just homered so hold for now
Gorman or Diaz for 3b replacement?
Gorman
Real quote
Ha! Missed this yesterday
What are your thoughts on Ohtani moving forward? In our league, he gets pitching and hitting options so he has been a monster. Do you think they shut his pitching down!
Ohtani owner wants Robert and Polanco in return. Thoughts?
Not sure bc he just had a forearm issue…he might get shut down from pitching, too early to say
Our trade deadline is Sunday so likely will just hold Robert and Polanco
Gotcha
Grey,
Gorman, Javy Baez or BLowe rest of way, Avg isn’t a factor
Thanks FML
Lowe
Happy Friday, Grey!
1.) Are we still holding Riley Greene in RCLs? Or is he droppable for batty calls with the likes of Naquin, Alek Thomas, Vogelbach, Segura available on the WW… Love his upside and leadoff spot in the order, but 2HR, 1SB, .237AVG (over 169 AB) is getting tough to justify hanging onto right now.
2.) Same question for Grisham. Hold or stream?
Thanks!
1. I can see moving on 2. Meh he’s been hot not sure why you move on now
Which MI would you rather own in an NL only Roto Dynasty:
Bryson Stott or Luis Garcia (Wash)?
Thanks and have a great weekend!
Stott, you too!

11 team roto OBP and QS’s gotta drop one to take Segura out of IL Tellez, Cronesworth, Santander, Castellanos, T O’Neill, B Lowe, Reynolds or drop one of my 8 SP Cobb, Eovaldi or S Gray. Currently have 2 bench bats without Segura. Thanks Grey!
Eovaldi
@Grey: weekly roto. need to start two of these guys next week. who do you like?
josiah gray – @ chc
taillon – @ sea, @ bos
ed cabrera – @ phi (i think)
cobb – @ sd
hunter green – vs chc
thanks!
None? Greene, Taillon
i know. with trades and injuries its slim picking. cabrera is looking pretty good fwiw (although against the cubs).
Gotcha
Razz ball movie! I think someone mentioned Owen Wilson playing Grey! Tom Holland could play Itch! 5×5 dynasty 13 team! Outman, Bubba, Palicious, Massey…
Hahaha, love it…Bubba
But I would run it by Itch
Sounds good!
No problem
