“Owen, you stupid poop!” is a line from Throw Momma From The Train, but is not a line you’re going to hear at Brewers games. Unless it’s in this context, “Owen, you stupid poop, but ‘stupid’ as in ‘fresh’ or ‘dope’ and ‘dope’ as in great not as in dumb, and ‘poop’ as in you’re the shizz.” Somehow, I haven’t mentioned Owen Miller (3-for-4, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and a slam (3) and legs (5), hitting .347) much. Well, I’ve got Miller fatigue, okay? And ‘fatigue’ is Italian, pronounced fah-tee-gay. I’ve mentioned many Millers — Shelby, Bryce, Mason, Bobby — but not Owen. He’s been playing 3rd every day for the Brewers, and should continue until Urias returns. He’s also got 15/15 potential with an insanely low strikeout rate. Prolly more of an NL-Only guy, but could see him paying dividends in 15-teamers or HTMLers. Get it? Div id ends? No? Okay. I don’t really get it either. Anyway, here’s what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Julio Teheran – Signed with the Brewers. Ah, yes, he was the Braves’ Bryce Elder of 2013.
J.P. France – 5 2/3 IP, 1 ER, 6 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 3.43. The one rookie pitcher I don’t trust is Juan Pierre France, and the one rookie pitcher doing okay is Juan Pierre France. *puts the emoji with its head in its hands into my hands and smooshes it against my head* If I had to make sense of it, J.P. uses five different pitches and hitters aren’t familiar enough yet to lay off four of the five.
Matt McLain – 1-for-3, 3 RBIs and his 1st major league homer, as he hit 2nd, even with the return of Friedl. Sail to the moon, Matty McLain’s fantasy value, soar to the freakin’ moon!
Graham Ashcraft – 5 IP, 7 ER, ERA at 5.57. Remember not that long ago I told you Ashcraft was a sell high? Now his ERA is 5+. Wha’ happened? Wasn’t a mighty wind.
TJ Friedl – 2-for-4, 1 run as he was activated from the IL. Saw one fantasy site say he had a “robust” batting line. That line must be good, huh? He’s on pace for roughly 12/16, and his underlying stats say he should be batting .250. Mmmkay.
Paul Goldschmidt – 2-for-4 and his 8th and 9th homer, hitting .293. Au Shizz x 2!
Xander Bogaerts – 2-for-5, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 7th homer, and his 1st homer since September, 1996. Or felt that way.
Juan Soto – 3-for-4, 2 runs and a slam (9) and legs (5). Sexy Dr. Pepper seems to be stringing together a lot of “just okay” games, but yesterday was his first great game. Send him back to Washington! He likes it there!
Lane Thomas – 2-for-4 and his 7th homer. He’ll be debated internally amongst the Razzball braintrust (me) on whether I should put him on this week’s Buy column again for, like, the 4th week in the row. The Buy column will be released later today on Patreon, and Friday for the rest of youse.
CJ Abrams – 1-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer. My head can’t wrap around how he’s showing power and nowhere near the speed he has. What does it mean to ‘be Ceej,’ I’m asking my reflection in a pond while these thoughts storm the castle of my brain.
Gerrit Cole – 5 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 2.53. Wasn’t that long ago I told you to sell Cole. I wasn’t talking to the bad kids after being visited by Santa.
Harrison Bader – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer, hitting .290. Lot of people still asking about picking up Bader, which makes no sense. He’s a top 75 hitter on the 30-day Player Rater; he’s got power and speed and in the middle of a lineup.
Aaron Judge – 1-for-4 and his 14th homer. Can’t believe they let this guy just look wherever he wants.
Cedric Mullins – 1-for-4 and his 8th homer. Fun fact! A cow’s favorite player is Mullins. At least I think so, they Ced-Mu.
Gunnar Henderson – 2-for-4 and his 5th homer. “Hey, can we just push him in the water at Sea World and let the killer whale take care of the rest–Hold up! Gunnar moved! He’s alive!”
George Springer – 4-for-5, 3 runs, 2 RBIs and his 7th homer, hitting .255. Springer and Merrifield being on the same team feels appropriate because you can’t kill either’s fantasy value. No matter how many times you say they’re done.
Jose Berrios – 7 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 4.22. If you started Berrios vs. the Rays, congrats on your pants grapes. They are very large. Okay, time to look at Berrios’s perfs, as the kids call them. He’s got a 8.6 K/9, 2.1 BB/9, 3.78 xFIP. With better command, he’s limited homers and his ground ball rate is way up. It’s all good under the hood, as the kids said 20 years ago. Streamonator loves his next start, and I’m willing to say he can be worthwhile, which is after a big arm twist.
Matt Chapman – 2-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and a slam (7) and legs (2), hitting .302. Hard to take anything the Jays did late in the game seriously because it was hitting vs. position players. O Raley? Yes, Luke.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. – 3-for-6, 6 RBIs and his 8th homer. Not that I won’t happily accept homers off position players. Cust kayin’.
Taj Bradley – 4 IP, 4 ER, ERA at 4.44. *slowly strums on a guitar* I call this, “Am I Really Dumb Because I Keep Starting Rookie Pitchers?”
Isaac Paredes – 1-for-4 and his 7th homer, hitting .272. Ya know what’s kinda funny? Kevin Cash prolly studies batter vs. pitcher matchups and how a lineup should be constructed more than anyone and the Rays could literally throw 12 guys out there in any order and they’d be fine.
Mickey Moniak – 1-for-3 and his 4th homer in, like, five games. Mean’swhile, Wardy Pipp sits on the bench giving good encouragement. Checking for an encouragement category in my fantasy league, and not seeing it.
Matt Thaiss – 1-for-4 and his 2nd homer. Can’t believe I dropped him in one league for Connor Wong. Always thinking with the wrong head.
Griffin Canning – 7 IP, 0 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 4.95. I had a whim. A whisper in my head of what might be. And, what do you know, I was right. I didn’t think Canning had a start this good since 2020, and I was right. Canning’s good starts, just a hair more frequent than the Olympics.
Brayan Bello – 7 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 6 Ks, ERA at 4.08. His stuff is better than I think most people realize. Everything has gone to shizz in Boston in the last few years, but Bello? Oh, Bello’s good. He’s on the verge of being an ace. His last five starts: Only nine walks. That’s the big bugaboo. 29 Ks in 28 IP, that’s the 2nd big one. Almost a 60% ground ball rate. Oh, that’s big too. If he can command his pitches, he’s going to be special.
Yasmani Grandal – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 4th homer, hitting .279. Yasmani has come all the way back from the bowels of fantasy suckiness and risen like a Phoenix, a Phoenix that is like the 20th best catcher, and not really that good.
Dylan Cease – 6 IP, 2 R, 7 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 4.60. vs. Logan Allen – 6 IP, 3 ER, 8 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 3.31. Nice bounce back start from Cease, which is what one says when they realize a guy off waivers who he was facing is out-performing in every way and drafting pitching high really makes no sense. As for Cease, he’s still a sell. He does not look right.
Will Brennan – 1-for-3 and a homer. Recall people talking in the preseason about how good Brennan could be and how he was undervalued and do you know how many homers he has? Two. He’s also hitting .213.
Jorge Soler – 2-for-5, 2 RBIs and his 13th homer. Only question yesterday was whether he’d hit one or two homers.
Bobby Miller – 5 IP, 1 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, as he was called up. Oh, I see it’s only the Dodgers rookie pitcher that I roster that get hit hard. Just gave you my Bobby Miller fantasy. Yes, I like him.
J.D. Martinez – 1-for-5, 3 RBIs and his 9th homer, and third homer in two games. Just Dong is a hot schmotato heater. Buckle up for dongs.
Eduardo Rodriguez – 5 IP, 2 ER, 10 baserunners, 9 Ks, ERA at 2.19. Ya know a guy is having a charmed year when he gets hit and gives up runs, then they’re unearned, as EdRod gave up yesterday.
Jacob deGrom – Threw 32 pitches yesterday. You know when you’re reporting a 32-pitch session you ain’t throwing more than 50 IP this year. “Not 30 pitches but 32?! Wow! That’s amazing! What a workhorse!”
Josh Jung – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 11th homer, and 3rd homer in three games, and roughly, say, three days ago people were still asking about dropping Jung. It’s almost like Jung is actually good as I’ve been saying for roughly 18 months.
Nathan Eovaldi – 9 IP, 1 ER, 7 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 2.60. My kingdom for a team with Eovaldi, Mitch Keller, Eduardo Rodriguez and Joe Ryan. By the way, now is also a fair time to laugh at the people telling you you needed to draft a starter in the first few rounds. If you had Eovaldi, Mitch Keller, Eduardo Rodriguez and Joe Ryan, you’d be winning every pitching category in every league, and you would’ve drafted your pitching when? Once in the top 100; once again in the top 200, then just grabbed some guys.
Rich Hill – 5 1/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 4.27. Streamonator likes Dick Mountain’s next start a bit more than last night’s but it’s still negative. By the way, following Dick Mountain for the Pirates was D. Underwood. Hmm, what kinds of booty are those Pirates digging up?
Michael Conforto – 2-for-5, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 10th homer, and 2nd homer in the last two games, and about the fifteenth time I’ve called him a Hot Schmoforto in the last week. It’s so funny the people who say hitters don’t get hot. Sure, brah.
Alex Cobb – 7 IP, 3 ER, 7 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 2.17. Can I add Cobb into the Eovaldi list of pitchers I wish I had everywhere?
Byron Buxton – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and a slam (10) and legs (5). Bux took Cobb deep. Hey now! Wait, what?
Andres Munoz – Could be activated during next road trip. Hopefully Sewald’s not on the roof of the car for that road trip.
Ty France – 1-for-3 and his 3rd homer. Three homers? Morel has that by lunch.
Marco Gonzales – 6 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 5.68. Marco…Po’low-man-when-desperate-for-a-streamer.
Kodai Senga – Was bumped back a day. No injury, it’s just Buck Showalter owns Kodai in fantasy and wanted to avoid him pitching in Coors. Nice stuff, Buck! Or maybe Kodai just needed an extra day to prepare for Christopher Morel.
@razzballfantasy #fantasybaseball #MLB #baseball @Razzball @Razzball ? original sound – Razzball
Pete Alonso – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 18th homer. Albombso!
Christopher Morel – 1-for-3, 2 runs and his 9th homer. We hear George Will’s unmistakable voice. He begins to narrate the images we see, “The year was 2023, and, by August, it was clear Christopher Morel would break Barry Bonds’s home run record of 73. With six weeks to play, there was a chance, Morel could make a run at 100 homers.”
Matt Mervis – 2-for-3, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 2nd homer. Unfortch, he’s now batting ninth and David Ross is so dumb that he might think Mervis is most comfortable there, after homering, and leave him in the nine hole. Do not leave him there!
Seiya Suzuki – 1-for-4 and his 6th homer. Feels like Seiya is a “when healthy” 30-homer guy. The “when healthy” has been tricky, but he’s so good “when healthy.”
Drew Smyly – 5 IP, 2 ER, 6 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 2.93. Smyly is officially Streamonator-immune. Just start him until he’s no longer pitching well.
Miguel Castro – 1 IP, 0 ER, and his 5th save, ERA at 2.42, as Chafin worked the 8th. Chafin’s working me over like a pair of frayed jorts. You’d think Dbags and Chafin would go hand-in-hand. I guess this is a 60/40 closer split, but I have no idea which side is 60. Conventional wisdom says Chafin is a lefty, but where was conventional wisdom in April when Chafin was getting saves. It’s not like Chafin just became a lefty.
Jose Alvarado – Threw from flat ground. “See!” That’s Kyrie Irving.
1. Best stash from: McCullers, Puk, Brantley, May?
2. Bohm, JT, Owen….looking long term, which two you keeping?
Trade Manny for Wander?
Already holding Jung at third. Sitting within Correa/Pena at short.
Hey Grey,
Great write up!
ROS as a UTIL batter in an OPS league, Rooker or McLain? Thanks!
Aaron Boone. What a genius.
Bryce Elder with another gem
He’s this years Tony Gonsolin
How much more valuable do you think Harper will be over teoscar and kelenic? If you rostered them would you trade joe ryan for harper?
Is senga a hold in a 10 team mix league? He doesn’t seem great
Hold
Might seem like a dumb question but would you hold him over martin perez? Perez has been more consistent in my h2h points league
Yes Grey, David Ross is as dumb as David Bell as most of today’s mgrs.
I’m commenting on the Patreon article, because it’s a statement on my 1st paragraph.
Why shouldn’t Julien and Royce play every day ?
Don’t you want the 8 best positional players and best hitter be starting every day.
I’m old school and not a big believer in platoons.
Bochy and maybe the Atlanta mgr. are the only 2 who have the same lineup every day.
Bochy is the best mgr. in baseball.
A good hitter is going to be able to hit lefties and righties.
If Baldelli wants to win the division, he’ll follow Bochy’s lead.
Gotcha
NL-Only H2H (OBP)
Hi Grey,
I’m looking at moving on from one of Turang/Tovar for one of R. Castro or Luis Garcia while I wait for TO’N to come back from IL or CES to get promoted. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Meh, I guess Turang for Garcia is fine
McLain bomb. Tough fitting him into lineups with Nico and Gorman. If you had to move one, who would you move and what’s an OF you’d look to trade for, with similar value? (Need OF help). Thanks man.
Move Gorman for Schwarber? Renfroe?
Thanks Grey
No problem
The real deal. Agree with Grey !!
@Grey: 12 team weekly roto. you hanging on to jomo or is he just a streamer at this point? lose him for any of logan allen, soroka, or france?
Stream — Allen
With Siri hitting another HR tonight, would you add him over Outman, who has been dreadful lately, or hold for now in a 12 team H2H categories?
Yes, go Siri
Thanks, Outman has been a bench bat for a few weeks.
No problem
Last one…I want you to get behind Spencer Steer. Great stache. Entertaining player. But I know you got interest in the guys he’s blocking.
Reds need a real manager.
Nothing personal Steve, but Encarnacion, DelaCruz, and McLain should be playing every day. And I don’t mean with a “rest day” once a week.
I’d also allow Fraley to play every day.
If you want your team to win and maybe make the post season, there shouldn’t be any question.
If there is nowhere for Steer to play, then trade him while he has very good value.
Steven Matz is old school Andrew Heaney
that good huh?
just kind of the same guy for me. other people seem to get excited about them and I just have never seen it.
Matz isn’t a darling of the projections quite the same, tho, is he?
I feel like for years there were people in the fantasy realm who kept trying to advocate for him. Maybe not tho…
No, that sounds vaguely familiar, but not sure the projections ever loved him…maybe
I knew Morel has a hit and a run in each of the games since being recalled, but I read he also struck out in each of those games. Baseball… right?
Ha yeah
Follow up trade question, Adolis, Mullins, Julio ROS rank? Thanks as always man!
You did
Thanks Grey
No problem
To me, those 3 are untradeable.
Reds traded Frank Robinson and he won an mvp in both leagues.
They almost traded Williams for DiMaggio.
As great as they were, they would have been that much better in each other’s park.
Sounds ridiculous, but should I drop Cease to pick up Kipech?
Nah
Grey
is my trade offer of Brandon Lowe and Pasquantino for Hader
or for Jhoan Duran
Unrealistic.
I’d take Vinnie
Kopech or Bebee redraft?
Bibee
That Bobby Miller start was good. One AB against Olson stood out. It was a long AB. Olson spoiled some good pitches. But what was impressive is he used all his pitches in that AB and really mixed them up. It was a full count with some foul balls. Sometimes you’ll see young guys especially keep going back to the well of a certain pitch and or location that they’re comfortable with. But Miller really mixed it up and every pitch in the AB was pretty much a quality, well-executed pitch. Ended up striking him up with 99 above the belt with good arm side run away from Olson.
Good to know! Since I’m in LA, I can’t watch, good stuff, MLB!
Olson spoke well of him in some post-game remarks too. Said he wasn’t some young guy just throwing hard.
He has less respect for Gonsolin, it seems…
Good! Haha
Agreed!
Kopech or Liberatore
Kopech
Drop a Gavin Williams stash in a 12teamer redraft points league….For Bobby Miller? Thoughts appreciated, Thank you
Yup
Could you rank top 3 2-starts in a pts league that scores IP, Ks, – whip, – HRs:
Elder @ Oak @ Ari
Wells vs. Cle @ SF
Kikuchi vs. Mil @ Mets
Pax vs. Cle vs. TB
Kopech vs. LAA vs. Det
Allen @ Bal @ Min
Bello vs. Cle vs. TB
B. Miller vs. Was vs. NYY
France vs. Min vs. LAA
Kopech, Pax, Miller
Hi Grey,
How would you rank Cease, Alcantara, Webb, Darvish and Castillo ROS?
Castillo, Webb, Yu, Sandy
Grey – keep bringing up a trade involving JRam. Thoughts on Julio + Volpe? Going for upside here…
Sounds fair
One of the worst seasons ends tonight… get hyped!?
LFG! Can’t believe that loonbird is going to win
Hahahaa think they ever go back to more days 39 or whatever?
Nora from Queens is legit funny!
I know! That is the biggest problem I think…they need to make them suffer more
Bryce Millet or Merrill Kelly ROS? 12 teams
Miller
Sigh. I guess Yordan can’t do it *every* day.
You watching White House Plumbers?
I feellike I’ve watched so many versions of this plumbers story…so no, but maybe I will at some point
Yeah, there have been a few recently it feels like. I’ve been on a bit of a Watergate kick recently so I’m enjoying it. Really entertaining.
Julia Roberts show Gaslit was same topic, done well, and super recent
Oh yeah – I started watching that, but then it disappeared form the platform! Liddy character felt a bit cartoonish to me, which put me off a bit. I mean, Liddy was a bit of a cartoon character but you know what I mean.
Martha’s a great charcter tho.
Shea Whigham can go overboard a bit
Burger coooing off. I think the Dutch oven ran out of gas.
Haha
roto keeper, rank please
floro, king, chafin
thank you
You did
Would you drop any of DJ LeMahieu or Rooker for Harrison Bader or Owen Miller?
I have plenty of speed
DJ for Bader
Alex Cobb got dropped in my league. Would you drop Heaney, Wacha or Daniel Bard to pick him up?
Run and pick him up!!!
Bard
Trade Vargas for Disco or ask for more? What kind of arm?
More
Houck or Bello?
Bello
Time to re-evaluate Schawrber? He is becoming a 2-outcome guy. Over the last 7 days, he has 2 hits – both were homeruns – and 7 K’s (41% K-rate). Is the .180 average for real and sustainable? Trade him for pennies on the dollar?
maybe for Bieber?
I wouldn’t want Bieber
Do you Prefer any of Jon Gray, Josiah Gray or Bryce Miller? If so, in what order?
Jon, Miller
Given how good kopech is pitching, should I consider picking him up over Taj? Over Bello? Over?
Yes
Where would you rank Ober ? Kopech > Ober > Taj?
Ober, Kopech
Kopech with a great outing today. Entering your circle of trust? 2 start pitcher next week, both at home, LA and DET
I see you anwered about Kopech already, sorry about that.
Yeah
Hey brother –
Best bat R.O.S. :
( 5 x 5 standard roto ) –
Would you please rank your top choice + backup ?
*For what its worth ( Moniak / Doyle both really interest me ..but, RbI’s my weakest category – so leaning Kiriloff as top ? )
Kiriloff,
Moniak,
Doyle,
B de La Cruz.
Senzel
L Thomas
Siri
Thnx as always
Kirilloff
Crushing HR this year. Pathetic pitching.
Give Alonso for Verlander.
Fair?
you asked earlier, yes
question earlier was Alonso + SP for Verlander + Pasquantino. He turned that down (in part, because of how valuable he thought Vinnie is). So I am considering going back with this and wanted to get your thoughts/blessing.
Sorry for the confusion.
Oh, I see….Yeah. it’s fair if you need SP
Feel like you can aim higher than Verlander
Hey Grey, I just finished listening to this week’s pod. I love your content, but even more, I love your hall-of-fame-level butchering of players’ names, lol. You had some gems with “Ventos,” “Lipitor,” and “Lamontay Wade.”
HAHAHA, thanks!
Bryce Harper’s launch angle – 0.0.
Ha, yeah, because he hasn’t hit any HRs
kopech’s got a thing lately going on, last time 16 str outs, this time at least 12.
almost like a top prospect finally coming into his own (yes small sample)
Yeah
Grey,
Can you rank ROS the following OF:
Kirilloff
Burger
Merrifield
You did, depends on needs
Hey Grey, I appreciate the feedback and interaction.
My team (12 team, h-h, 8 keepers) is falling out of contention and I’m trying to balance holding out hope for this season with stashing promising players for next year. After Kyle Harrison’s start yesterday (4IP 0H 1BB 9K), I’m itching to grab him – would you drop any of the following knowing that somebody may get them as a $1 keeper next season?
Patrick Sandoval, Miles Mikolas, Alek Manoah, Jordan Montgomery, Bailey Ober
Thank you!
JoMo
1.Should I play Nico vs the Mets (kodai senga) or Gleyber Torres vs the orioles (Tyler wells)
2. Do you trust a potential Michael Kopech redemption/breakout season?
3.I’m gonna be honest, I was someone who considered dropping Jung more than once but didn’t, in large part due to your write ups about him, glad I kept Jung! Pretty sure You were right about that one (knock on wood)
1. Nico 2. No 3. Nice!
Won’t say it out loud, but Kopech having a *day* through 4
*edit* I already single-handedly ruined it by even alluding to perfection
Ha
Picked up Bryan De La Cruz as a streamer for this week. Would you hang onto him going forward or drop him for one of Schmitt/Friedl/Moniak?
Also (two-for-one!), can I get a quick “pick two”? Liberatore, Taj, Bello, Bobby Miller, Gavin Stone
Thanks!
Friedl
Bello, Bobby
Can you please rank McMahon, Vargas, Senzel, and Mervis ros?
Mervis, Vargas
Are you starting Elder tonight home vs LAD? Thanks!
Yes
@Grey: apparently brandon lowe had a rough night of sleep and now he cant play? in w weekly league, would you drop for any of ed julien, owen miller or perdomo.
Ha, hold
Hi Grey,
I have one relief pitcher which is Paul Seward. The following are available Craig Kimbrel, Miguel Castro or even
Hold
Andres Munoz who is coming back around the beginning of June.
I seem to have a plethora of outfielders.
LF: Yordan Alvarez
CF: Cedric Mullins
RF: George Springer (cF and RF)
Bench; I have Josh Naylor who is backing up Lowe at 1B and plays RF, Jorge Soler at LR and RF and Hunter Renfroe at RF.
Option one is stay strong in the OF and go with one RP. I do have a good list of SPs
Option 2 waive Renfroe and choose from Craig Kimbrel or Miguel Castro.
What would you do?
Thanks!
Lose Naylor
which relief pitcher would you pick up Kimbrel or Miguel castro?
Thanks!!
Kimbrel
Thank you!
No problem
Was offered M. Harris for my JD Mart. Is Harris fixable, or did he just way overperform last year?
I’d take Harris
Bassitt or Cobb?
Bassitt
I should thank you for Morel’s success on my team. Your constant mentions of him before his call-up had me ready to pounce. Thanks, Grey!
Nice!
12 Team H2H 6×6 QS Redraft
Please rank these rookies SP’s ROS:
Pfaadt, Taj, Liberatore
Thanks
Lib, Taj
6×6 dynasty with OBP
Drop J Abreu or Suwinsky for O Miller?
Thanks G
Suwinski
Eovaldi or Cobb?
Nate
Start McClain over M. Vargas?
Yes
Morning Grey, got shallow roto league questions, thanks in advance as always! For all of these, just in a vacuum and for normal 5×5 roto cats.
1) J Duran or Zeke Duran
2) plz rank…Heaney, Jon Gray, Desclafani
3) plz rank…Kiriloff, Siri, Dejong, Jd Mart
4) Siri or Moniak
Jarren
Gray, Heaney
3. DeJong, JD
Siri
Austin Riley, Edman and Merrill Kelly or Betts, Swanson and Holmes ? Roto mixer here
Betts
Lively v. STL, Kikuchi @ TB, or Kopech @ CLE?
Thanks!
Kopech
You’re hilarious. Also, drop alejandro kirk for yan gomes or danny jansen in a standard points league? Rest of season advice, por favor.
Thanks…I’d hold
Morning Grey, great write up as always!
Mateo has been pretty meh for a while now, drop for DeJong? Don’t need the steals so I guess I’m talking myself into this lol. Also Dejong is 9th on the 30 day rater so… yeah.
Got crazy and picked up a bunch of OFs in my 10tm, which 3 are worth holding from Lane, Doyle, Soler, Bader?
Appreciate the help!
Yes, DeJong – Not Doyle
Shallow daily pts league with limited moves. Scores IP, Ks, Whip, HRs.
Own Taj.
Drop for any of Berrios, Bello, Liberatoire, B. Miller or hold?
Add Elder to the list …
Berrios
Drop Wisdom for France, Bohm, Turner, Duran, Parades, Turner or Owen Miller (todays cleanup hitter)?
Miller
20 Team Keep Forever Dynasty, 5×5 H2H:
A: Jordan Walker
B. Jackson Churio & Blake Snell
You keep wanting to get rid of Walker huh? Sounds fine if you need to move on
Actually I dont, but the offers keep coming. Appreciate all of the replies!
Ha, No problem
sorry, another quick one
Vinnie P for an elite RP like Romero or Igelsias
Sounds fair, not Raisel tho…Romano is fine
Grey, would you pick up Maeda. I got some drops that i could easily make, but limited moves for season. Basically, do you think Maeda would be useful in a 12-team ROS.
thanks as always!
ps, your write-ups the last few days of have been totally savage, and its hilarious. I love it!
also….you were right about judge against the jays…i’ll take the L on that one!
Forget Maeda
Thanks! Haha, no worries
Would you drop Teoscar for Bader?
No
I picked up Soroko on waivers last week and there is not much news on him other than he’s working on his game in AAA. the Braves could use another starer right now. Are they just taking it slow with him because of all the injuries the last couple of years ???
Guessing they’re slow rolling him so he doesn’t re-injure himself
Bello over any of Allen, Detmers, Lynn, Varland, & Eflin in a 12 tm QS league? Thx!
Varland
Drop Desclafani or Liberatore for Bello?
Kopech also on the wire so add him to the mix pls. W=10 in my league. Thanks as always!
Prolly try Kopech over Bello after his last start
Disco if you like that sweet upside
Crushing HR this year. Pathetic pitching.
Give Alonso + Waiver wire SP for Verlander + Pasquantino?
Fair
Works for me
Excellent stuff. Zeke Duran is sitting for the 2nd time in 3 games. Wonder if they’re just trying to give him some rest or if this is going to be the trend with him since he’s the odd man out in the MI. Should I be patient with Zeke or look to add McLain for MI eligibility. I also have Taylor Walls on the bench, so I could add another bat regardless of position. Best options appear to be Suzuki, Paredes, Fraley, Bader or Duran. Thanks!
McLain
Appreciate it. If he keeps in the 2 spot… feels like a no brainer.
No problem
Duran: rib cage soreness
Ah
Makes sense. Thanks!
