Yesterday, the Indians called up Oscar Mercado, after a hilarious bit where they phoned their Triple-A team and asked to speak to Oscar and they were met with, “The Oscar Mercado called and said they’re out of you!” The Indians have now cornered the mercado on Oscars like Meryl Streep. Mercado has speed to burn. He is so fast he just ran into your room, mussed your hair and ran back out before you even had a chance to flinch, which is great because you’re secretly being filmed for the new Netflix game show, Flinch. Mercado had one season in the minors with 50 steals. I just became aroused like Lorenzo Lamas after he sees himself in the mirror. Prospect Mike said of him, “Mercado came to Cleveland from St. Louis at last year’s trade deadline in a move that probably slipped under everybody’s radar. He had a crazy good season in Triple-A though, hitting .278 with eight homers and 37 steals. Caveat: Grey is dumb.” What? That’s not a caveat. I grabbed Mercado in a few leagues, because I could use steals, and, brucely, who doesn’t need steals? Not to answer, but bat your eyelashes and look pretty. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Francisco Lindor – 2-for-2, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer, hitting .296. He has two more homers than Jose Ramirez, and same number of RBIs, and Lindor missed three weeks. Behind door number one is ZOINKS, behind number two is YUP and there’s no door number three.
Shane Bieber – 6 1/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 3.81. That’s one way to kick off the week. *sticks finger into electrical outlet to feel something more pleasant*
Carlos Rodon – Out for year after Tommy John surgery. It could be worse, he could pitch for the Mets and just need Tommy John surgery for a few years.
Nate Jones – Out for the year with flexor mass surgery. He hopes to return next spring so someone can ask me, “Hey, Grey, handsome much? Also, you think Nate Jones can close this year?”
Jose Abreu – 1-for-4 and his 10th homer. Member when I used to say he was the Latino Big Hurt? I apologize to Frank Thomas, who seems like he quickly becomes The Butt Hurt.
Welington Castillo – 2-for-3, 2 runs and his 3rd homer. Where’s the boeuf? At the plate!
Reynaldo Lopez – 7 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 5.58. Yeah, well, he was facing one of the worst teams. Singing Coolio, “Been spending most my life throwing shade like a gangster parasol…” The Indians rank 27th out of all MLB offenses and that’s counting the Marlins, who shouldn’t be counted as MLB. Though, the Streamonator likes Lopez’s next start.
Yoan Moncada – 3-for-4 and his 8th and 9th homers, hitting .289. Still don’t trust him fully, but his BABIP and reduced Ks tells me he’s more of a .255-65 hitter vs. the .235 one he was coming into this year.
Kendrys Morales – Designated for assignment. That assignment is to do a blood transfusion with a 17-year-old to swap out his old goo for young goo.
Matt Olson – 1-for-4 and his 2nd homer, and 2nd in as many games. Wow, his power is returning quicker than Kim Jong-un turning on the electric in North Korea so he can try a recipe from his cookbook, “Despot Is Good For Cooking.” A NY Times Bestseller.
Khris Davis – 2-for-4 and his 11th and 12th homer, hitting .243. Damn, a .004 slump!
Mitch Haniger – 1-for-4 and his 10th homer, hitting .229. A lot of people are asking about Mallex Smith. More now than in the preseason. Here’s the thing, prematurely balding men, where is he going to play? Are they benching Bruce, Vogelbach, Haniger or Domingo indefinitely? I mean, maybe for a start or two here and there, but Mallex has nowhere to play without an injury.
Daniel Vogelbach – 1-for-3, 3 RBIs and his 10th homer, hitting .248. Yeah, Mallex is just gonna start playing now even though he didn’t all of April. Right with fifteen I’s.
Yusei Kikuchi – 6 IP, 3 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.64. Doesn’t sound like a great pitching performance, until you realize that he threw a 12-inning perfect game yesterday if you add in pine tar.
Erik Kratz – DFA’d by the Giants for Aaron Altherr. The Giants’ GM told a raunchy, sprawling story involving 30 teams taking their turn on the Giants in increasingly graphic ways and then saying it was all an act. What do you call that act? “It’s the DFA Kratz!”
Shohei Ohtani – 2-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer, hitting .250. “I just traded my entire 1st place team for Ohtani. How’d I do?” That’s a comment from the future. People love Ohtani. Find someone who loves you like baseball fans love Ohtani.
Tommy La Stella – 3-for-5, 2 runs and his 10th homer, hitting .272. When I told you to draft the top hitter from the Angels’ lineup 1st overall, you assumed I meant Trout.
Jose Berrios – 5 2/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 3.05. Angels had some crunch-Berrios for breakfast. Any guesses where he was on the Fantasy Baseball Player Rater for starters before last night? *points thumb up* I’m saying Berrios was rated higher with my thumb motion, I didn’t say let that person out of the ring with the untamed lion. It was basically Verlander, Ryu, Berrios and everyone else, but because we can’t have anything nice, there’s been two good starters this year and everyone else. (Kidding, Berrios is still solid.)
Jorge Polanco – 2-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 8th homer, hitting .327. The polar opposite of Ohtani in that I can’t find anyone who loves Polanco like he should be loved. You can count on one hand the number of players who always seem headed for the cycle in every game, and not an Alfonseca hand. Polanco is one of those players.
Marwin Gonzalez – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 4th homer, 2nd homer in three games and hitting near-.375 in the last week. Hot schmotato alert, but usually Marwin Gonzalez is like watching a bad porn star perform. Available for every position but an unexciting choice for all of them.
David Robertson – Shut down for three weeks after a visit to see Dr. Freeze. Dr. James Andrews would’ve shut him down indefinitely, but Robertson had to go hawk some jewelry to pay for the doctor.
Aaron Nola – 3 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 4.86. If you didn’t draft Nola, but wanted to, you haven’t learned anything. You just got off easy. You should be made to pay for the sins of drafting a top starter too. *removes belt* You will be punished! As soon as I change my pants, they’re chafing my groin. What? You thought I was going to spank you with my belt? You’re weird. As for Nola, everywhere that David Simon set a show is slumping. Granted, his shows are about slumping cities.
Pat Neshek – 1 IP, 0 ER, ERA at 3.68 and his 2nd save. Hector Neris has pitched once in the last ten days, and that wasn’t even for a save. So, Gabe Kapler might’ve forgotten he was their closer, or more likely, he has no closer. I grabbed Neshek, but I bet he comes into a random game in the 6th inning in four days, then some other schmohawk gets a save. This is a closerousel and around, around it goes. Where it stops, not even Kapler knows.
Cesar Hernandez – 2-for-3, 3 runs, 2 RBIs and his 4th homer, and his 2nd homer in five games, and hitting near-.375 in the last week. Mr. risin’ schmotato, gonna keep on risin’!
Mike Moustakas – 1-for-4 and his 10th homer. Moistasskiss!
Lorenzo Cain – 5-for-6 and his 4th steal, hitting .266. He’s on pace for 16/16, which is great for Wade Boggs’s eyes, not so much for a top outfielder.
Freddy Peralta – 4 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 6.16. This start was lame as a starter, but if he had an Opener in front of him, he would’ve been great. Give Freddy his 1st inning cushion!
Nicky Lopez – Called up by the Royals to play 2nd base with Merrifield moving to the outfield. Who is this Nicky Lopez kid who warrants that kind of move, to Whit? I’m glad you asked, Awkward Intro Question! Here’s what Prospect Mike said, “I tend to value pure hitting over other tools when I’m compiling these lists. Lopez scores well in that area. He’s also close to the majors with success in the upper minors. For a guy with below-average power, the fact that he hit nine homers between Double-A and Triple-A in 2018 was a pleasant surprise. Mix in his 15 steals and .308 average and I’m sold. Need more? His strikeout and walk rates were nearly identical in Triple-A (11%). That’s Jennifer Connelly beautiful. Or reverse whatever the hell Grey is.” C’mon, man! In Triple-A, Lopez had a 3.6% strikeout rate and a 14.5% walk rate. That’s goofy good. He also had three homers and 9 steals. Don’t want to compare anyone to Jose Altuve, but if the shoe fits–Actually, that’s a thimble. No, wait, that’s Altuve’s shoe? Damn. I tried to pick him up in all leagues, but Nicky no lucky.
Matthew Boyd – 4 IP, 3 ER, ERA at 3.15. Can we talk about how I call him Matt some days and Matthew other days? I should call him Matthew when he doesn’t pitch well, and Matt when he does, because Matthew always makes me think the person said their name is “Matt” then sneezed. What are you allergic too, homey? Your name? That sucks. Okay, listen, this was not an easy start, so we’re going to forgive Matthew. Gesundheit!
Aledmys Diaz – 2-for-4 and his 4th homer, and 2nd homer in three games. Okay, not much happened yesterday, so I’m trying to make a hot schmotato out of a mole-tato.
Robinson Chirinos – 1-for-2, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 6th homer. Uh-oh, Chirinos!
Alex Bregman – 1-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 13th homer, hitting .275. Member how worried you were in the preseason about Bregman’s elbow? No? That’s because you’ve blocked it out.
Brad Peacock – 5 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners (4 BBs), 3 Ks, ERA at 4.01. His game log is all over the map, and I don’t mean because he’s pitched in different cities. One start is 7 IP, 12 Ks and pearly jams in the Rusty Kuntz, and other games it’s 3 2/3 IP, 7 ER and Cooter’s on the CB pulling over the Duke Boys. I have no confidence in Peacock right now, but I would own him in 100% of leagues, because, when shizz is right, it’s real right.
Nick Kingham – 4 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 7.84. He desperately needs a trade to another team. C’mon, Pirates, free him to be good!
Robbie Ray – 5 IP, 1 ER, 8 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.14. Robbie Ray was propped up to a huge early lead, and he coasted out for a free night at the W on the Ivictory Coast. Room and scoreboard were all on the house.
Jarrod Dyson – 2-for-5, 2 runs and two steals (8, 9). I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve owned Dyson for the better part of three weeks because my steals shituation is so dire. Yes, “He went to Jarrod,” for SAGNOF.
Eduardo Escobar – 3-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 8th homer, hitting .288. Fun fact! There’s a class you can take at Colombia University called Drug Dealing 101, that is sometimes abbreviated Edu-Escobar. That’s not Columbia University in New York, by the way.
Christian Walker – 2-for-4, 2 runs and his 8th homer, hitting .292. The White Walker has returned! What is dead will never die, except for any interest in Game of Thrones after this final season.
Aaron Hicks – Activated from the IL. Wow, the Yankees are finally getting healthy…*holds finger to earbud* Wait, I’m getting word there’s more injuries…
Jonathan Loaisiga – Hit the IL, and shut down for a month with a rotator cuff strain. Well, that’s not awful–*holds finger to earbud* Crap, there’s more…
Miguel Andujar – Back on the IL and this will likely be the end of him for the year. The good news is Chance Adams is up for the Yankees. He is there to cheer up everyone who is injured.
Looks like Riley just end-ered the Inciarte era in Atlanta.
Boom!
Haha
Riley or Oscar?
Austin Riley getting called up for any later waivers out there….
FA pickup FTW! Went to check status of Andrea & did a double take on the news. Woohoo!
:D
Most likely to get the W tomorrow?

Thank you!
Do you think Rockies will promote Rodgers soon to plug in at 2B? Or will Rockies be stupid and go with Valaika? He’s only 22 but killing it at AAA. Thanks.
Hiura or y hurried?
Wow, Sale Ks 17 and doesn’t walk anyone and the pen blows it for him. A real Chris cross.
Axe handle bats for president 2020
Haha
Starting porcello vs Houston against corbin martin? He’s been money
Who’s been money? Porcello?
@Grey: weekly roto redraft. gibson or bassitt? tomato/tomahto?
Gibson
I am really concerned with the lack of steals from Whitt Merrifield. He has been caught stealing his last attempts.
If he can’t do his thing on the base paths then he is a SELL in my book.
Gotcha
Caleb Smith $1 and $10 Mumcy for Jansen in my 5×5 NL .. where I need SP and hitting.. or my Jansen for Conforto at $15 or Jansen for Thor at $26.
Also have a Quintana $10 and Pache for Jansen offer
I’d take any of these except Quintana one… Smith/Muncy sounds like best
Woodruff looks like Chris Pratt playing Hatteberg.He doesn’t look like that on any of the photos I searched real quick,must be reverse PEDs.
Hahaha
Need help ranking these guys in a 10 team h2h dynasty league probably looking out next 3 years. Stats are ERA, WHIP, K/9, BB/9 and QS.
Corbin, clevinger, strasburg, Marquez, kluber, Weaver, Quintana, strahm.
Thanks!
Corbin, German, Strasburg
Thank you sir! Got a potential trade offered to me. My tatis, clevinger and gray for Baez, Hamels and price. You like it?
Baez side
Thanks Grey! He likes weaver too. If he’d do it, give up weaver instead of clevinger?
Hey Grey!
Awesome write up. In a vacuum, rest of season.
Luke Voit or Mike Chavis
Thanks !

Is it close? Thanks!
Prolly not

Obviously weak in RPs, but not bad hitting and pitching, be nice if your OF was better in the back and don’t see how Dietrich is a thing on your team — Porcello and Folty are just doing more harm than they’re worth
Yeah, I’ve pretty much punted saves. Dietrich is bench and there’s nothing better on wire. Playing matchups with those arms. Thanks for the feedback!
No problem
Who do you feel most confident in tomorrow?
Soroka home vs. Cardinals

People are starting to drop Votto like Cosby dropping ruffies. Time to jump and drop, say, Y. Gurriel or Hosmer? or stay away?
Thanks!
Hosmer
12 team 6×6 h2h
Was offered Votto for Tapia. Thoughts?
Sure, try Votto
Nvm, it’s trash. Was going to see if I could get Pham for Tapia and either E-Rod or D German.
Ha, actually pulled it off and got Pham for D German and Tapia. Think I did pretty good.
Nice!
Rank em
Cishek
Robles
Parker
That order looks fine
Hey Grey, Please advise who to drop upon activating Rendon, prob put him at DH and drop an OF, Franmil? Or, would you suggest a possible 2 for 1 trade to make room. Who to trade and who should I target? Thanks,
My roster:
c-Tucker Barnhart
c-Omar Narvaez
1b-Matt Carpenter
2b-Jose Ramirez
3b-Kris Bryant
ss-Francisco Lindor
mi-Robinson Cano
ci-Anthony Rizzo
of-Mookie Betts
of-Khris Davis
ot-Eddie Rosario
of-Domingo Santana
of-Nicholas Castellanos
dh-Franmil Reyes
Anthony Rendon – IL
P-G.Marquez, Bieber, Berrios, Woodruff, Kikuchi, C.Smith, Canning, Bassitt
IL – Kluber, Paxton, Tailon, Glasnow.
Can lose Bassitt
I can’t activate Rendon for a P, need to drop one of the OF’s and put Rendon at DH..unless a trade,,,would be nice to get rid of Cano?? ty
I guess Castellanos
Any trade bait on my roster to add with Castellenos for a possible trade…and possible Targets?? thanks for all your help!
Castellanos and Cano for a better MI?
Maybe buy Jo-Ram low?
Dahl and his .319 BA have hit their way into the 7 hole. I hate the Rockies
I know, so annoying
What would you put the over/under % of Shaw coming back at some point this year and being useful? Can’t believe this guy. I reached for him in one league so I wouldn’t have to worry about 2B/3B ha! How does a guy go from getting better in almost every aspect of hitting over the last 3 years to just vanishing all of a sudden at the age of 28? makes no sense.
Just a crazy slump that perpetuated itself… he might return but he team might just move on without him
yeah I’m on the fence of dropping him in a 14 team. Probably will hold until something useful comes along on the wire as there’s hardly anything right now. It’s a H2h league and I’m in second so almost guaranteed playoffs at this point. Even in a league like that where I can hold for months at this point and doesn’t really cost me much, I may just cut bait, truly sad.
Yeah, I hear ya
12 team, H2H,,Hiura over D.Murphy? Thanks Grey
Nah
On Sox v Indians game today, announcers were saying that Tito was saying that Mercado will only be up for a short time.
That sucks
And it’s not like the Indians have a whole bunch of great OF’s either. I think if he hits and steals bases he will stay up.
Grey, I am thinking about making 2 waiver wire moves and need your opinion:
Would you drop Derek Dietrich and David Fletcher for which two guys from this list:
Mitch Garver
Hunter Pence (becomes a unrestricted free agent at midnight tonight)
Joc Pederson
Gio Urshula
Jose Iglesias
Im leaning towards Graver and Pence
i meant Garver
Joc, Pence
ok thanks.
only reason I said Garver is becuase I am down to one catcher
I was offered G. Cole + Treinan for Conforto/Dahl/J. Polanco/Greene.
I have Franmil and LaStella on my bench and could grab Tapia or Joc or Nicky or Peraza or Profar.
Thoughts in a 12-team 5×5 ?
I have Paxton and Glasnow on the DL.
Thanks!
Hold
The Hiura questions have come fast & furious … so perhaps I mis-understood your wisdom.
Bench bat – Hiura or Castellanos?
Hiura
I’m surprisedf – but thanks. I always like high upside.
Yeah may as well if bench bat
Would you trade my Daniel Murphy for his Kris Bryant. Is it a fair trade. Thanks
Yes
Thank you sir
No problem
if had to choose to start dahl(7hole) or tapia(5hole) vs sale today, who you like more?
Dahl
Soler or Huira?
Myers or Hiura?
Soler — Myers — but if you wanna some upside and bench bat, I could see Hiura over either
I don’t think I’d bid $100 for either Soler (own him on 2 teams) or Myers (owned him last 2 years). Sounds like you’re pushing $150 on a rookie 2nd baseman.
If in fact Shaw is truly injured, after his last 2 years, do you believed he’ll be relegated to a bench bat ? Hiura will have to be a young Robbie Cano for that to be the case. I’ve been wrong before.
Both questions involved my bench bat (low risk; high gain).
– I already did the Soler move (if ng, OF easy to recover)
– Gone before able to move Myers.
Didn’t realize either was a reasonable move until I read the discussions.
Thanks.
Depends what Hiura does
Would you trade Encarnacion for Matt Barnes and Devers? Thanks
Sure
I already have dozier, muncy, baez and chavis at 3B and dozier, muncy, hoskins and freeman at 1B.
I only have 2 relievers with colome and greene.
Does that change your opinion? Should’ve added this info before.
Doesn’t sound like it makes sense for you
Would you trade Encarnacion for devers and matt barnes?
Hey Gray.
A team in need of MI has offered my lousy pitching team his Marco Gonzales for my Jeff McNeil. Marco’s K rate is meh though. His other non-aces: Giolito, Fried, Odorizzi, Porcello, Eflin. Who are you going for if you’re me – Giolito?
Yeah, try for Giolito
Dr.Met: ok Jed it’s go time. Let’s make that Met debut happen…
Lowrie: Sweet, I’m super…
Dr. Met: …maybe sometime in June
Haha
Who the he’ll is the Mets Doctor, Doctor Suess??
Hey Grey. Won the Hiura sweepstakes this morning. But now I’m chocked full of second basemen.
Schoop
Mcneill
Odor
Hiura
I’ve got to unload some of these bench bats for an arm.
Mcneill for Eduardo Rodriguez?
Works for me
Excellent. Couldn’t hit send without your blessing. Thanks, as always, man.
No problem
Don’t mean to be Mr. Contrary, but to date:
Odor- .137/3/10/14/3
Schoop-.276/6/18/20/0
McNeil-.360/2/14/20/0
McNeil only recently took over leading off, and he has position eligibility everywhere but s.s. and c. Can see the Schoop argument (though I’d still rank him #2), but empty schmemty..200 b.avg. points and a chance of 100 runs and 60 r.b.i.’s, and coverage everywhere….
All good points. That’s kind of the reason I was shopping him though. That eligibility and average. I don’t think Schoop gets this deal done. I’m not sure McNeill will either, but I think he’s the better chance to net the bigger fish and production will be relatively close to Schoop(albeit without the eligibility). What do you think Grey?
I do own Eduardo, and I will say that Grey was reassuring when I questioned Eduardo’s shaky start to the season !. Just think Odor sucks and Schoop batting 8th, with some a.b.’s sure to be lost when Sano returns. I’m sure Marwin can play every position on the field.
Regardless, appreciate your thoughts 183414!
That’s a really good point too. Didn’t think about Sano stealing AB’s…..
Chris Taylor or Kingery ROS?
Taylor
Just a general question, but Dahl is a hold for now still… right?
Yes
America is kind of a dump

Two other names are Thorton @ San Fran
…..
Beeks @ Miami.
Which of the 4 do you like best in H2H with counting stats including QS, ERA, and WHIP?
None, but I guess Thornton
Actually Beeks
That’s what I was thinking too, especially since I wanted Chirinos in the first place. This week has been bumpy as I was locked and loaded with Loaisiga until the news broke about the rotator cuff.
Yup
I need pitching. Should I trade Devers and Skaggs for Morton and Strahm? 14 tram roto. Thanks

Cishek or Robles ROS
Cishek
Hiura or Daniel Murphy? Seriously… Have Baez, Mondesi, and Tatis as well, so MI isn’t really a need. But Murphy Brown’s a big deuce.
Murphy
Dang… I hate that doode. First year Murphy owner bucking my Greycolyte role. Enticed by Coors (Field in this instance).
I don’t like Murphy either, shouldn’t have grabbed him
Agreed. I’ll never doubt you again. Unless it’s to drop Murphy for Hiura. He’s my low man when Tatis returns anyway. So I’m thinking I may do the deed a bit prematurely.
Meh if you must
I’m not seeing other options. I’ve already ditched my C to grab Senzel.
12 team H2H 5×5 redraft. I’ve floated 5-6 trade options to get rid of some of the bench and upgrade somewhere with no takers.
C – empty
1B – Alonso
2B – Mondesi
3B – Dozier
SS – Baez
OF – Hoskins, JD, Santana
UTIL – Ohtani, Walker
Bench – Senzel, Dahl, Vlad, Murphy
SP – Stras, Smith, Bieber, Flaherty, Weaver, Ryu, Paddack, Marquez

He would be an upgrade over Villar. Anyway do you see any specific type of moves I should look to do?
Nah, he wouldn’t be an upgrade over Villar
Actually I have another trade on the table for machado. I’d have to deal albies and villar. What do you think of that deal?
Machado side
Keeper Senzel or B. Lowe?
Senzel
Nicky Lopez or Profar? 14T obp
Other MI: Hiura, McNeil
IL: Trea, Tatis
Would drop Profar for Lopez
Thanks
Sure, Lopez
Trade Jose Ramirez for Rizzo

Matt Olson is available …… Over Diaz or h dozier?
Aledmys
Sorry it was yandy diaz
Edwin
i guess youre saying no matter which diaz I have, you’d drop them for Olson….
I’d lose Yandy for Olson
Odor, Nicky Lopez, or Keston Hiura?
Thinking Keston but my minors knowledge has lapsed in recent months. I’m ready to move on from Fletcher.
Hiura
Thanks for the shout out on Mailbag. Shaw was dropped several days ago for Derek Diet Rich in Power, but he’s been slumping some.
See the Brew Crew finally put Shaw on the IL with a right wrist strain. That’s what happens when you’re swinging hard and missing.
So, should I drop Dietrich or Chavis for Keston Hiura?
No problem… Dietrich
Grey! Thanks as always….. I’m so bored with Cano, honestly not sure why I drafted him…… worth dropping and picking up Nicky Lopez?
I’d try Lopez
@Grey: 12 team weekly roto redraft. 250 FAAB budget. How much you bidding for Hiura?

Who is best of the rest for stash purposes? Whitley, Gallen, Y. Alvarez, someone else? 11 tm roto keeper.
Gallen, Astros need injuries to get called up… Yordan
So nicky lopez promotion couod take away some at bats from hunter dozier im reading?
Also, its so dumb that a prospect like lopez has never played a big league inning at SS, and hes getting called up to play 2b, yet for fantasy he doesnt immediately get second base eligibility and is only listed as a SS. This should be changed. Lopez should have 2b eligibility from the jump if thats his damn position.
Owings and Gutierrez lose ABs
Not sure where, you saw that, but I would find it pretty unlikely they take ABs away from the guy who is finally breaking out. Its the OFs in KC that will lose the PT is what I’m seeing. Especially Chris Owings. Maybe Hamilton. Or Alex Gordon when he gets hurt. Kelvin Gutierezz loses the PT before Dozier does. And they have a DH slot for Soler, so he shouldn’t be affected either.
Drop Wacha for Cole Irvin or hold?
Hold
Start Flahrety against AtL?
Yes
I’m ravaged by injuries… Would you drop any of the following to give me some flexibility… I currently can’t stream or pick up prospects, and I only have 2 DL spots
Judge, Stanton, Clevinger, Tatis, Glasnow
I also have Dee Gordon, Posey and Archer but they should be back soon
Thanks
Clevinger
I wouldn’t own Posey either
I knew I would get some Posey shame.. Thanks for the responses
No problem
I’m excited to see what Beeks can do with his starting opportunity now that Glasnow is away licking his wounds.
Is Beeks starting tomorrow or is he the bulk guy. I can’t even follow Rays pitching without getting confused
Prolly bulk
Say it ain’t so Julio!!!!
I’m very sad today.
