Yesterday, Nick Senzel went 2-for-6, 5 RBIs with his 4th and 5th homer. That’s five homers in a week for him! He’s only played ten games all year! Well, of course he has, the 11th game for Senzel is like midnight for Cinderella. ACKSUALLY! Call him Senzella! He’s a Godzilla meets Cinderella monster! Rawr! Watch out, Senzella is stomping through downtown Washington! Oh my God, Senzella is sitting on the Washington Monument. Oh geez, what’s he doing on top of that thing? Is he scratching his back? Please say he’s scratching his back. Oh man, he is not scratching his back. He’s, uh, scratching his insides. Oh my God, Senzella’s making the O face. Oh no! It’s midnight! But he doesn’t turn into just any pumpkin. Nope! He turns into an injured pumpkin! You ever see a pumpkin with a strained quad? A pumpkin with a Grade 2 hammy? A pumpkin that needs TOS surgery? So, Senzella is a hot schmotato, but soon he’s going to turn into an injured pumpkin, and if anyone named their kid Senzel Washington, let’s hope it wasn’t you. Anyway, here’s what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:
Joey Gallo – Hit the IL with an AC joint sprain. More of a summertime injury.
Mitchell Parker – 4 IP, 1 ER, ERA at 1.69. This start was vs. the Marlins and I was told Mitchell Parker was an ace from the hundreds of dollars I saw spent on him in FAAB. Huh, that’s weird. Maybe he’s not. I guess I will continue to feign ignorance for another start.
Jacob Young – 3-for-5, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and his 9th and 10th steal. Not at all embarrassed to admit that Young’s double steal game had me more excited than Senzel’s. I’m adding him everywhere I need steals.
Edward Cabrera – 4 1/3 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 5.28. More than any other team the Marlins want a do-over.
Avisail Garcia – Hit the IL with “Hasn’t been good in three years, how is he still in the majors?”
Jazz Chisholm Jr. – 1-for-3, 2 runs, 4 RBIs and his 3rd homer. There should be a baseball statistic to measure what percentage a player gives each game. Jazz seems to give roughly 48%.
Mark Vientos – 2-for-2, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer as he was recalled from Triple-A, so. Dot dot dot. He can watch J.D. Martinez DH? He pinch-hit homered yesterday, because he has nowhere to play. Mets making dumb moves [handshake emoji] a day that ends in Y.
Jose Quintana – 8 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 3.48. This start vs. the Cards was a showcase for when they want to sign him in three years.
Francisco Lindor – 1-for-3 and a slam (5) and double legs (2, 3). Wow, keep doing that and only every other commenter will be trying to trade away Lindor for twenty cents on a dollar.
Kyle Bradish – Will return to the majors this week after his UCL sprain. How many starts until he’s IL’d again? Two? One? Don’t boo me! I’m just being realistic.
Cole Irvin – 7 IP, 0 ER, 4 hits, zero walks, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.49. This was a Streamonator call. [Streamonator blows on metal knuckles, scraps metal knuckles against metal chest and makes an awful grinding noise]
Ryan Mountcastle – 3-for-4, 2 RBIs and a slam (4) and legs (1) and 2nd homer in as many games. Mountcastle? Not bad for a guy portrayed by David Tennant!
Adley Rutschman – 1-for-5 and his 4th homer. Adley? Not bad for an album by Beck!
Ramon Urias – 1-for-4 and his 1st homer. Urias? Not bad for a butt!
Albert Suarez – 4 IP, 4 ER, ERA at 2.35. Oh….[adjusting Suarez’s Sunday FAAB from $7 to $6 to $5 to $4 back up to $5 to $6 down to $4 back to $5]…kay.
Tyler Nevin – 2-for-5, 2 runs and his 2nd homer, and 2nd homer in a week, and el oh el no one’s picking him up. The other star of this game for the A’ss was Kyle McCann, and you have no idea if I made up that name or not.
George Kirby – 7 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners, 12 Ks, ERA at 4.18. Thinking about the league where I accidentally drafted Gerrit Cole and have Kirby, and imagining how good I would be if this was literally any other year of Cole’s career. Oh, wait a second! You didn’t think I’d make this about a top drafted starter being a positive, did you? New here? In that league, where I lost Cole, my ratios are 2.77 ERA and 1.17 WHIP.
Slade Cecconi – 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 2.25. 6′ 4″, 220-righty, and has added a full mile on his slider and it’s working better, and it was already working well. He looked as good as the line, but not sure if he stays in the rotation. Worth monocle’ing in deeper leagues, and would grab him for now in NL-Only.
Brandon Pfaadt – 6 IP, 2 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 11 Ks, ERA at 4.63. If he has command, he’s going to be an ace.
Jordan Hicks – 6 IP, 1 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 1.59. That’s how you get back in my good graces. By the by, Good Graces sounds like someone misremembering a bad network sitcom. “You remember Good Graces, it had that priest mentoring inner city youth who really taught him lessons.”
Thairo Estrada – 1-for-3 and his 4th homer. Back to back homers with Carl’s Jr. Jr. (2-for-3 and his 2nd homer). Figures the first time my beautiful boy, Jared Jones gets teed up it’s by the bottom of the Aints’ lineup in one of the easiest pitchers’ parks. Make it make sense.
Keaton Winn – 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 baserunners, 5 Ks, ERA at 3.18 vs. Jared Jones – 5 IP, 3 ER, 7 baserunners, 3 Ks, ERA at 3.18. Elias Sports Bureau said this was the 1st start two pitchers ERAs ended at 3.18 since “we think a long time ago, but who knows, is there a way to track that?”
Martin Perez – 6 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 4 Ks, ERA at 2.86. ‘Member when Santa’s Little Helper was starved for attention and starts walking on his hind legs? That’s Martin Perez. He’s like, “Hey, Grey, you like low-K guys now? Look at me!” Wait a second, there’s no such thing as a talking low-K guy!
Ranger Suarez – 8 IP, 1 ER, 3 hits, zero walks, 8 Ks, ERA at 1.32. “Starting for your NL All-Stars…Ranger Suarez!”
Bryson Stott – 2-for-3, 3 runs, 4 RBIs and a double slam (2, 3) and legs (4). “That’s smart to use him as a coffee table–Oh crap! He’s moving! Stott’s alive!”
Michael King – 5 1/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 5.00. Is his middle name Phuc? Cause Michael was Phuc King me good yesterday.
Kevin Gausman – 7 IP, 1 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 5 Ks, ERA at 4.50. Definitely seems back but where did daddy’s Ks go?
Freddie Freeman – 1-for-3 and his 2nd homer. Nice to see him remember he’s not Austin Barnes.
Jose Soriano – 1 2/3 IP, 4 ER, ERA at 4.76. Old guy on I Think You Should Leave, “Stinky.” Streamonator hates his next one, and see no reason to hold him.
Pablo Lopez – 5 IP, 4 ER, 5 baserunners, 8 Ks, ERA at 4.83. He went from throwing a perfect game in the 5th to about as imperfect as they get.
Luis Rengifo – 1-for-3, 2 runs, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. He went back-to-back with Nolan Schanuel (2-for-3) who hit his 2nd homer. I have these schmohawks in so many leagues I’m about to go to Anaheim with an eight ball of devil’s dandruff if Ron’ll promise to move them up the order.
Reid Detmers – 5 IP, 5 ER, ERA at 3.12. Ah, yes, there’s the Detmers I’m very familiar with.
Aaron Civale – 4 1/3 IP, 6 ER, ERA at 5.06. This was vs. the White Sox to make it that much worse. Though, I guess if you haven’t yet paid your fantasy league fees facing a team with Tommy Pham can be scary.
Isaac Paredes – 2-for-4, 2 runs and his 7th homer, hitting .275. On pace for 30+ homer, 100+ RBIs, but who could’ve predicted that? Oh, that’s right. I did.
Erick Fedde – 8 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 7 hits, zero walks, 9 Ks, ERA at 2.60. The White Sox team is a manifestation of “throw enough shizz against the wall and something will stick.” Fedde’s stuck. Just gave you my Fedde fantasy the other day. I streamed him in my RCL league, which sounds almost as sad as my team has performed. I’m starting Curtis Mead as my 3rd baseman, non-ironically.
Ben Lively – 4 1/3 IP, 1 ER, ERA at 2.30 vs. Bryce Elder – 5 1/3 IP, 2 ER, 8 baserunners, 2 Ks, ERA at 1.50. Way to deflate those Sunday FAAB bids, guys!
Wyatt Langford – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. “Hey, once you get over 65 MPH can you hit the open button on the trunk I’m trying to dump–Hold up! Langford moved! He’s alive!”
Adolis Garcia – 1-for-3, 2 RBIs and his 8th homer. Thankfully, you passed on him for Royce Lewis or Pablo Lopez.
Dane Dunning – 5 1/3 IP, 1 ER, 3 hits, zero walks, 10 Ks, ERA at 4.13. Dunning looks stunning when on waivers and Dun-dun-dun-dun-DUNNing when on your team.
Andrew Abbott – 5 1/3 IP, 4 ER, 6 hits, zero walks, 7 Ks, ERA at 3.27. The allure of the two-start week giving me a double turd. Like a drunk Costello, “Hey, Abbott, you suck!”
Hunter Greene – 7 IP, 0 ER, 1 hit, 1 walk, 6 Ks, ERA at 3.63. Sadly, Hunter Greene is the type that appears totally great one start, then goes out the next start and gives up 5 ER in 4 IP.
Aaron Judge – 3-for-4, 3 RBIs and his 6th homer, and 2nd homer in two games. Okay, do that 45 more times and I’ll leave you alone.
Anthony Rizzo – 4-for-4, 3 runs, 2 RBIs and his 5th homer, and 2nd homer in as many games. HR to the Rizzo!
Anthony Volpe – 2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBIs and a slam (3) and legs (7). Got a shirt that says I’m part of the AV Club and all I got was this wet head from a swirly.
Wenceel Perez – 2-for-4, 2 RBIs and his 1st homer. Hey, Tigers’ lineup looks like dogshizz, so, one love but Wenceel hitting third makes me wince-el.
Casey Mize – 5 IP, 2 ER, 6 hits, zero walks, 2 Ks, ERA at 3.08. Love his command, and stuff, and ratios, and it’s not really translating to much of anything. All kinda yawnstipating. Streamonator hates his next start, and I could see moving on in shallower leagues.
Garrett Cooper – Acquired by the Red Sox. The Voice of NFL Films, “A 15-13 club that seemed to be struggling lost their 1st baseman, Triston Casas, for three to thirty-three weeks, because the team physician was a janitor wearing a white lab coat. Then the front office made the gustiest call a front office can make. It went and acquired a 1st baseman that no other team wanted even though he held a sign saying, ‘Will Work For Food,’ and through a deal with the MLBPA, was guaranteed a soft pretzel. That was the magic these Red Sox needed, and that spark led them on an improbable run where they rattled off a series of wins and losses and ended the year one game over .500 and 12 games out of the playoffs.”
Joey Loperfido – Being called up by the Astros to back up Jose Abreu–I’m kidding! DFA Abreu, I don’t care, goodbye! Loperfido hit his 13th homer yesterday in 25 games. Ha! He’s also hitting .276, but with a 31% strikeout rate, so he might hit .210. He also had four steals in those 25 games, so he’s not without speed. I grabbed Loperfido in my RCL league, which is 12-team mixed, so Loperfido is worth grabbing everywhere.
Framber Valdez – 5 IP, 2 ER, 5 hits, zero walks, 6 Ks, ERA at 2.60. Bienvenidos from El Sud del Border, mi amigos and cinco chicas! Yo soy aqui in our sud’ern border country of Meh-ico for lots of runs, and I’m not talking about drinking the agua! You la sensación’ing a mi? Metaphorico! Can you alto? Opposite of mañana, Kyle Tucker (1-for-4, 2 RBIs) con his 7th boom-oh, Jose Altuve (2-for-4, 3 runs) with a slammo (7) and leggo (4), y Jeremy Pena (1-for-3, 2 runs) con 3rd boom-oh. Okay, para veridad, que es MLB doing by having el Colorado Mountainos en this series? Isn’t this supposedo showcase el teams grande? Only thing grande para Colorado Mountainos es proximito to Grande Canyon! Also, why was this series not featured in prime-tiempo? If you’re going to commit to jugar en otra countries, then put the jugars on prime-tiempo. This es muy facil. Adios the adios, I took 13 años of Spanish. Impressive, correcto? So, Framber Valdez returned from elbow inflammation, and SELLO! Lo siento, didn’t mean to yello, but SELLO!
Hey Good people at Razzball
In your opinion
Please rank the following bat options or top 2 out of
Pages
Carpenter
Adell
Nootbar
Much appreciated
Miller! making us look silly so far.
Would you drop Civale for Woo once he comes back from IL?
TWO more homers for Senzel tonight!
Would u dump Ruiz for young? I don’t understand the A’s not playing Ruiz?
Brown .197
Butler.205
Jj bedlay .227
Rooker .210
The 4 of them have 2 steals.
Ruiz .250 2 steals
Kotsay is treating his outfielders like cash treats rp
I have 5 players on the IL…Bellinger, Luzardo, Bello, Braxton Garrett, and Buehler, and 3 IL spots. Bello and Buehler could return soon. Would you drop any of these players (and in what order), or would you hold for these two to come off the IL? Thanks!
Morel, Adell or Jacob Young? points league
Morel
Thanks
Happ, Adell, Grissom, or Rizzo as a last bat?
10t H2H 5×5
Adell
Out of Bichette, Chourio, Langford, and Carroll.
Which 2 represents the Best Buy low option?
Jackson, Bo
Will young stick when Robles comes back?
Cross that bridge when you come to it
Hey Grey!
Doesn’t seem like Baltimore wants to play Kjerstad. Drop him for Adell or Profar?
Yes, Adell
Better streamer
Falter at Oakland or
Sanchez at Angels?
Sanchez
Thank u
No problem
Has SAGNOF ever been truer than it is right now? (I’m sure it has lol) But Foley and Finnegan tied for the Major League Saves lead? Totally saw that coming.
I think some of this has to do with a certain FML whose faith in SAGNOF wavered during this past off season … ;-)
Haha, it’s true
And Jacob Young
I’m having a tough time deciding.
Who are the two drops in a really shallow league where I’m having an injury crisis:
NoJo, Scherzer, Fairbanks
I wouldn’t drop NoJo
$195 left in FAAB dollars. AL only dynasty league. How much are you bidding on Loperfido? Dropping Kyle Isbel
$17
Not sure if this team is even worth the bandwidth for this question but here goes:
Arreaz or Grissom.
Grissom
Is Winker/Doval too much for Sale?
Yeah, too much
Just Winker straight up for Sale? He also has Eflin
Seems unlikely, but sure
Is Michael King droppable?
Yes
Sad face !
Oh no
Would you bench Chuorio (temporarily) and put Grissom in the lineup for this week?
I wouldn’t
Assuming Nolan jones goes on IL — who remains on my team (no more IL slots). Lane Thomas or Nolan Jones?
The Nolan Jones situation reminds me of the 2022 duo: Jonathan India and Tyler O’Neil. They kept toggling between IL/active and never did much
Thomas
Curious why you don’t trust Yates compared to other closers mentioned below,
Thanks,
Yates owner
I like Yates
Why do you prefer Foley, A Diaz others to Yates? I own both but I’ll have to drop one soon. Thanks!
Flip a coin
Gotcha!
Six of one
That’s right!
smart on b.barriera TOR, when faced with the
(1): wait it out, ignore how besides boss tanaka nobody in the last 20 odd years has ignored their torn elbow tendon and continued to routinely be a top 30 SP or better.
(2): TJ
(3): “brace” procedure
just said f’ it, let’s do both 2 and 3. they both might work better than just 2, which has a very high success rate. good on TOR too, they didn’t help him do the stupid 1.
Ha
Thoughts on castellanos ROS?
Also chourio or castellanos
Needed SP help but really wanted to offload Carroll based on same concerns about his shoulder, got Webb in return. How did I do?
Nice!
Ouch, that’s depressing. What a season. Well, at least I have Stott, Langford, Carter, and Bregman setting the world on fire compensate.
Ha, yeah
Weekly ESPN, head to head … need 5 starters this week. Currently rolling with Skubal (@NYY), Gilbert (@Hou), S. Gray (vs ChW), Ober (@ChW), Jones (vs Col). I also have Bibbee (vs LAA) and Reynaldo Lopez (@Sea) … make any changes?
Same League – Currently rocking Hader (3vsClev, 3 vs Sea), Mason Miller (3vsPitt, 3 vsMia), and Yates (vs Wash, 3 @KC) as my 3 starting RP’s this week. I also own R. Suarez (3 vs Cin, 3 @ Ariz) … you bumping any of those 3 for Suarez?
Same league – Looking at my 2 Utility positions for the week. 3 Reds available Benson, Fraley, CES (3 @ SD, 3 vs Balt) … appears that Reds get 6 righties, which is good news for Benson and Fraley. Other options Adell (3 vs Phil, 3 @ Clev), Hoskins (3 vs TB, 3 @ ChC) and Buxton (3 @ChW, 3 vs Bos) … it looks like Minny is sitting Bux every other day to keep him healthy. Which 2 are you riding with this week??
Thanks for your help as always!!
Don’t see any changes in 1st two
Adell, Hoskins
Think you might have answered this below, but after the Mountcastle blurb I couldn’t resist…
Are we starting *David Tennant voice* Miller! @ATL tonight?
Haha, I wouldn’t
Like the man said.
HAHA
Death, taxes and me owning pitcher who underperforms their Xstats. Pablo Lopez not helping my blood pressure. I knew I shouldn’t have looked at his stats early yesterday.
I also had the pleasure of hainvg civale getting shellacked by the white Sox. What the heck is wrong with him now. He can’t locate anything.
Wacha or Crochet (speaking of unferperforming x stats). Thanks
Ha, yup — Wacha
Crochet or Keller? I have to ask. Thanks
Keller
Keeping a close eye on Keller (who I own) against the A’s this week. If he can’t handle them…
Ha, yeah
Hey Grey, just saw your comment about Lugo > Bassitt ROS. I was actually thinking of seeing if I could buy Bassitt low, so I guess I won’t offer up Lugo for him. Would you offer up any of Sanchez, Singer or Morton for him? Our league setup doesn’t let us stream too aggressively.
Sure, Singer or Morton
Master Lothario of Fantasy,
Hope you had a good weekend and a great lunch. Start the week off right, or is it left…….And, thank you for being a huge part of keeping me sane. I’ll try to give more than 50% but being a newly promoted senior, 75% of the time I will hurt….(Stolen from another poster).
A) Which stadium is better for an old timer who enjoys the game more than socializing, Angels or Dodgers?
B) Loperfido, does that mean, a dog chasing his tail?, or N Gorman for now?
C) There is no C
D) Means over any of these, Civale, Elder, or Fedde?
E) Can you perform your circle of fantasy baseball prayer for Churio, please?
Many thanks for all the fun, keep on keeping……
CCC
Thanks! You too! Be well and try not to be injured! A. Dodgers B. I’d try Loperfido D. Nah E. Haha, yep
12 team mixed keeper with AVG/OBP/OPS with strikeout category.
I kept both Chourio and Outman. Drop either for Adell?
Thanks in advance.
Nah
Happy Monday, Great Grey!
We still holding on Alzolay? McArthur, Cano and Ginkel available. SV only league.
And who do you got (top 3)from this squad, QS league:
Pfaadt
Woo
JoMo
Kikuchi
Civale
Thanks as always!
McArthur over Adbert
Pfaadt, JoMo, Kikuchi
Two of your favorites: Rengifo or Westburg?
West
As always, thanks for the great work/writing!
12 Team H2H Cat, Keeper League (6×6 with OPS & Ls)
Top 2 SPs on the wire: R Olson & E Cabrera. I can add one or both, but I’m worried about Ls since that’s a category in our league. Still worth adding?
Here’s my staff: Ryan, Eflin, Rodon, Kutter, Lugo, R Lopez (IL: Senga, Means, Bello, Bradley). I lost Strider fwiw
Would you prefer Pages, Adell, and/or Wilyer over any of my 3rd OF/UTIL/Bench guys here: Ward, Varsho, JH Lee, Y Diaz, Loperfido
Hold on both
Rodon/Yates too much for Joe Ryan? Worried about Rodon under the hood + arm health
No
Foley or Yates, who do you think ends the year with more saves ?
Foley
jeez
Carroll is now batting 8th. I couldn’t trade him for a bag of balls right now.
Also, why did the Orioles even bother to call up Kjerstad. I know you said there were going to be playing time issues, but come on, he has only 5 AB’s since his call up.
He will be sent down sooner than later. Very frustrating!!!
I hope Tampa doesn’t do the same when they call up Junior Caminero
Yeah, makes no sense
TB is way more likely to do the same to anybody than BAL at least from history.
Yup Agreed
In shallower leagues (10-team), what’s your patience level for Bo and for Arenado? At what point do we start thinking it’s not just a slump?
Arenado was a sell 2 years ago…I think Bo’s fine
10 team 5×5 h2h dynasty. Drop colt Keith or ohearn for senzel?
Keith
Vaughn Grissom returns from IL tomorrow. Grissom or Jr Caminero?
Grissom
I have a open DH. Would you pick up Pham or Senzel
Senzel
Good afternoon Grey, was wondering if any of S Lugo, E Fedde, Winn, M Meyer, Pfaadt, K Harrison, Assad, Abbott, Flaherty Severino or Butto are better options ROS than my Civale, Peppiot, Kikuchi or Bassit? Thanks appreciate the great work!
Lugo over Bassitt
Grey, how would you value Ohtani SP only for next year.
Not off to a great start this year, would be selling Arozerna (too much to keep) and Doval (too much to keep) for a $12 Ohtani next year
it would suck to sell off this season so early, but you still see him as an ace after this second TJ?
I would be able to keep ohtani at a reasonable price for a few years though. Thoughts?
I’d take Ohtani
Edit: Are you saying he’s only pitcher for you?
yahoo league, hitter Ohtani is separate player
Ah, then no
fantrax last year made a button for if you want ohtani (or anybody with pitcher/hitter) to be both or one.
Please rank
Larnach,Kepler,Suwinski
Suw, Larn
1) Just had to send Nolan Jones to the IL, who would you pickup for a bench bat out of these guys:
Frelick
Eugenio Suarez
Jung Hoo Lee
Outman
Blake Perkins
Kiriloff
Jordan Beck
2) you told me to pickup Gore for King a couple hours ago, is one of Pfaadt or Fedde better options ? forgot to mention them.
Thanks as always for your help!
1. Beck 2. Pfaadt
For the 1st question, Blaze Alexander is also available
Hey Grey,
Absolutely loved the Cooper and Framber blurbs – you’re the best!
A. Which are the best 3 starts of the following:
Harrison @BOS
Gore @TEX
Gore vs TOR
Sanchez @LAA
maybe Cecconi vs SD if he gets another turn
Pfaadt vs SD
B. Who would you drop to activate Duran?
Cecconi (maybe the most obvious, but he’s looked good), Sanchez, Gore
Thanks! A. Sanchez, Gore/Tor, Pfaadt B. Cecconi
Thanks!
So my league typically only allows 4 RPs, but I have Mason Miller whose eligible as an SP which means I can roster 5 RPs.
Would you keep Jax around with Duran being activated?
Or if I keep Jax, I would need to drop Pfaadt, Sanchez, or Gore – who would you drop?
No, forget Jax
ROS. Gunnar, Witt, ELDC? H2H cats. Keep forever
Witt
Hey Grey, trying to decide who to drop for Loperfido. If I continue my delusion that Matt McLain will be worth holding onto, which of these SPs would you be most OK with dropping?
EdCab
Braxton Garrett (he’s almost back!)
Lugo
Singer
Sanchez
Civale
EdCab
sorry im so late to the party
estuery ruiz or the new guy beck?
Ruiz
Lourdes or Pages, thanks!
Lourdes
Hi Grey,
After 32 days, I would appreciate if you could pleas review my line up and suggest areas for improvement. Would be grateful for any suggestions:
C: TAD with Sean Murphy on IL
1B: Paul O’Hearn with Rhys Hoskins as backup
2B: Marcus Semien with Ketel Marte as backup
3B: Ryan McMahon and Luis Rengifo as backup
SS: Jackson Merrill with Luis Rengifo as backup
LF: Lourdes Gurriel with Jarren Duran as backup
CF Cedric Mullins with Jarren Duran and Merrill,
RF: BDLC in RF and Starling Marte as backup
DH: Katel Marte
SP: Burnes, Skubal, Nola, Wheeler, Cole Ragans and GreyRod
Streamer: Kutter, Cristopher Sanchez, Casey Mize, Crockett and Yariel Rodriguez
IL: Cristian Javier
RP: None
Thank you again for all your help!!!!
Your hitting looks weak, Merrill, McMahon, O’Hearn and Cruz…they’re not great
You are right! Thanks for your honest appraisal.
As you can appreciate, there are two options: Trade or waive
I have been resisting to offer:
a. Ragans for Muncy plus Volpe
or
B. Ragans for Lindor.
Is it time? Thoughts?
The following are on the waiver wire:
3B: Jose Rojas, Nick Senzel or Willi Castro
SS: Ceddanne Rafaela, Santiago Espiral, or Josh H Smith
RF: Mike Tauchman,Bill Brennan, Nick Senzel or Trevor Larnach
Of course, I could do a trade offer and make some wire moves.
Thoughts?
Thanks so much!!!!
Martin
I’d take Lindor
Would you Start Falter @ OAK (Boyle) in a 12 Team League.
Thanks in advance.
Yes
Might seem like a weird question, but…
Vlad or Josh Naylor ROS in a 6×6 roto (AVG and OBP).
I’m disenchanted with Jays hitters again this year.
Vlad’s GB % is over 51% and 6 pts higher than last year. He just can’t get the ball elevated and needs to hit in minor league parks. I’m Venting.
Naylor
Grey,
please rank these OF’s for pts league:
Chisolm, Greene, Pages
You did
Would you drop Fedde or K. Harrison for Falter (12 Team 5 x 5 mixed)? Leaning Harrison but may keep, however Falter’s two week start against Oak and Col are intriging.
Harrison
Hey there Grey,
Loperfido or Donovan?
Loperfido
New offer from that Gore guy….
A. His $4 Ragans + Blaze for my $3 Pepiot and India
B. Ragans and Stott for Bradish and Westburg
C. Gore and Stott for Bradish and Grissom
Do you like any of these or nah?
B seems like a no brainer
Thanks! That was my idea for a counteroffer to his A. If he says no do you like A or hold?
Good to know you like Stott over Westburg…Westburg do you think he’s just going to fall back to earth slightly even though everything looks good right now?
Meh….I like Stott still
thanks!
No problem
senzel or beck?
Senzel
Belli is playing catch and taking swings. Could be a much shorter IL stay than originally thought.
Hope so!
Please rank – N. Jones, W. Abreu, Senzel, Fraley
Jones, Fraley, Abreu
Hey Grey,
I hope you’re doing well!
In a standard 5×5 league (OBP instead of AVG), redraft, mixed, H2h
C: O’Hoppe
1B: Harper
2B: Altuve
3B: Maikel Garcia
SS: Gimenez
CI: Morel
MI: Jackson Merrill
OF: Trout, Ozuna, Schwarber, Jackson Chourio
UTIL: Ohtani, Pete Crowe Armstrong
BN: Amed Rosario
IL: Casas, Burger
NA: Junior Caminero
Jo Adell and Jacob Young are both available. Are we adding 1 or both? If so, who are the drops? Thank you!
Adell over Amed
do you do Jacob Young over PCA?
Yes
Thank you!
No problem
Hey Grey, So J. Leasure got the save last night. Kopech gave up runs in 2/3 of his last appearances. Will the give the 9th to the kid?
Meh, you really want a closer who might get 10 saves all year?
People were saying that about Mason miller he almost has 10 already
Need all the closers I can get in one league. It’s ultra competitive
Go for it then
12 team OBP/SLG 6×6 H2H
With Jordan Beck just getting the call how would you rank this group:
Beck
Loperfido
Suwinski
Goodman
Pages
Pages, Loperfido, Beck
Grey we’re almost at the end of this matzoh long week of constipation…who are we fooling, I’ve been eating bread since the first night of sedar last week.
Anyways, in a 6×5 including ops, keep 7 forever league, would you trade my JRam (round 7 keeper) for his Austin Riley (round 1 keeper)? Riley has been pretty meh this season (.234/.694 with 2 hrs) but he seems pretty safe to end up with 35+ hrs and .280/.850. JRam’s Baseball Savant page is pretty rough, too, whereas Riley’s seems fairly red. So I’m thinking Riley is just starting slow. Thoughts? Thanks!
Haha, my brother in law ran a marathon on Sunday on nothing leavened… I’d hold JRam
Thanks!
G-d bless him and his colon. I hope he found the gluten and Gatorade tent toward the end of the marathon. Lol I can’t help but laugh thinking about a runner making his way toward the home stretch, reaching out for one of the water boys/girls, one hand handing him a water and the other a piece of bread.
HAHAHA
FOR CI: loperfido or kiriloff?
Loperfido
ROS. Westburg or Stott?
Stott
Hey Grey,
Just traded Wilyer Abreu and Reid Detmers for Arozarena. Did I screw myself? I only have Freddy Peralta, Joe Ryan, Bryce Miller, Tanner Houck and Bryan Woo waiting in the wings, so I’ll need to stream effectively moving forward.
Sounds solid
Jordan Beck getting the call. would you drop Pages for him?
Nah
Would you trade your $1 Grissom and $3 Bradish in a 12 team keeper for $1 Gore and $1 Blaze Alexander?
In a heartbeat, right?
or am I maybe underrating Grissom?
Nah
ok thanks! here’s to bradish’s elbow holding together!
Ha, yup!
Hey Boss
Looking to add a closer
1:cano
2:munoz
3:jansen
4:bednar
Yahoo points.
Thanks!
Munoz
Hey Grey!
10 Team / H2H
Sounds like Nolan Jones is headed to the IL. I’ve got an IL squeeze now and need to DROP 1:
N. Jones
J. Luzardo
TJ Friedl
Thanks in advance!
Friedl
Is Fedde for real, is he a must pick up, or do you not trust him? thanks!
Sure
1. He’s up to play 1b — Loperfido
Grey! Any of Varsho / Nimmo / S Marte droppable for Pages / Senzel?
Nimmo for Pages
12 Team keeper with AVG and OBP as categories and Saves and holds as separate categories.
I have Carrol as a 9th round keeper losing a round each year (8th next year). Wondering if I should trade him. I have a an excess of SPs I can pair him with if necessary. Another team has a few nice options in Cowser (10th round), Harris II (8th round), westburg (10th round), Steer (non-keeper), Olson (non-keeper). He also has Alzolay as a closer for part of a deal. Thoughts on making a move. Something seems wrong with Carroll but I have great value for him for future years as well. This is my lineup for context. we can keep 6. Hold? Or players to target in a deal of those mentioned?
My team:
C – Campusano
1b – C. walker (potential 5th round next year)
2b – Albies (4th round next year )
3b – Gorman
SS – Rengifo/M. Wynn (potential 10th)
OF – JuRod (6th next year)
OF – Judge (3rd next year)
OF – Carrol (8th next year)
Utility (2) – Ozuna, Amed Rosario, Nolan jones
Bench/IR – Friedl/Wood (both around 10th round minimum for next year)
SP
Gausman
Pablo Lopez
Monty
Shota
Lugo
Kutter
Fedde
RP
Alvarado
Tanner Scott
Joe Jimenez
Martin
Uribe
Cano
Fairbanks
Prospects (both can be kept at 10th round minimum)
Horton
jackson Jobe
IR
Braxton Garrett
I’d hold in a keeper if those were my options
10-teamer. I’m 8th. Do you have any objection to streaming Rogers and Severino, or to stashing Yennier? I can for sure add two of those guys, but to add a third, I’d have to drop one of Busch, Varsho, Steer, King, or Stroman. Any of those five guys droppable?
King is droppable, maybe some of those bats if they’re bench bats
Jordan Beck coming up (assuming Jones is heading to the IL). Is he a must grab? 10 team league? Or is Bud Black going to Bud Black like always? Dude is crushing AAA.
If you have room, sure
senzel over tyler Freeman?My 3b is hurting haha
Yes
Hi Grey! Hoping for some clarification. For one commenter (Duda), you had suggested Vaughn Grisson over India. But for another (Wildcard), you seem to have suggested the other way. I realize that the question Duda asked is more specific than the general question that Wildcard asked … but for RCL type leagues, do you rank Grissom or India ROS? Thanks!
Grissom
Is it time to drop King? Pfadt or Yariel are available
Pfaadt
Lose EdRod and pick up Taj Bradley?
Sure
@Grey: weekly roto. need to start two of these OF this week. who do you like?
arozarena – 3 @ mil, 3 vs nym
pages – 3 @ ari, 3 vs atl
castellanos – 3 @ laa, 3 vs sf
soler – 3 @ bos, 3 @ phi
stanton – 4 @ bal, 3 vs det
thanks!
Pages, Randy
Do you still like Chourio for his projections Grey ?
I need steals bad and looking to buy him low
Yeah, I’d buy low
Keep forever 12-team H2H league. I’ve been offered Soto and Kimbrel for my Carroll and Oneil Cruz. I do have EDLC and Lindor at SS. Should I move Carroll and Cruz for Soto? Thank you.
Soto side
10 team 5×5 OBP.
Please rank Varsho, Loperfido, Adell.
Varsho, Adell
14 team 6×6 OBP League
1.With Grissom coming back whose the odd man out position doesn’t matter?
Thairo
Garcia Jr
Marsh
B. De La Cruz
Larnach
2.Should I be looking to drop a second player to acquire
J.Rojas
T.Freeman
Tauchman
Senzel
3.In reference to your RP only strategy I have had Luzardo, E.Rod and Steele on the DL I have been piecing together my SP which currently sits at
B.Miller
Mize
Soriano
Wacha
Dunning
J.Gray
RP
Abreu
Stewart
Garcia
Martin
Swanson
Foley
my innings limit is 25
I have been looking at RP with SP eligibility to sit in my SP spot to accumulate some stats. Players such as
C. Ferguson
D. Law
M. Grove
S. Armstrong
C. Winn
C. Faucher
J. Wentz
My pitching categories are W-ERA-WHIP-K/9-QS-SV+H
So I would be punting QS and potentially W although that’s a crap shoot and increasing my potential H. Have you given any thought into a strategy like this for that one team you drafted and punted SP? I would think my K/9 Sv+H would improve although maybe this leaves me more open for a RP blowup to screw me?
1. Larnach 2. Senzel over Garcia if you don’t need SBs 3. I wouldn’t punt QS and W
@Grey: weekly roto. gotta start three of the following. who do you like?
bryce miller – vs atl, @ hou
t rogers – vs was, @ oak
gore – @ tex, vs tor
keller @ oak
thanks!
Not Gore
Hey Grey, shallow roto league, in a vacuum….I assume Ranger Suarez is a sell high candidate? Either way, he is a Top ___ SP moving forward?
Thanks Grey
25
Grey,
1. Please rank top 3 out of:
Loperfido
Stott
Kwan
Nimmo
Julien
Maikel
N Jones
Pena
Mountcastle
Doyle
2. Loperfido staying up and worth rostering if I have him starting in my everyday lineup or think it’ll be hard for him to get playing time?
Thanks!
1. Jones, Mount, Stott 2. I’d imagine he plays
IL N Jones and drop M Kelly or IL Kelly and drop Jones?
Thanks again.
Drop Kelly
How strongly has your opinion of Tyler O Neill shifted?
I’m in a 12 team deep roster 5×5 with daily moves. 5 OF. I have plenty of OF depth, but with the flexibility I can play matchups a good bit.
I’ve done well at accumulating FA closers, with Yates, MacArthur, Neris/Leiter, Megill. Plus I have Jansen Ginkel and a soon to be Duran
I was offered Tyler for my MacArthur. I kinda am adding OFs that I don’t need per se, but I am a little weak on power and I might just take best player in deal? What say you.
To maybe sweeten the deal, do you prefer Cowser or Castellanos?
Cast
Tyler way over a closer you picked up off waivers
Castellanos or Cowser?
Howdy Grey,
Couple of lineup decisions I need help on:
H2H weekly, focused on OBP, HR, and RBI
1) CES (6 games) or Busch (7 games, only one lefty) at 1B
2) For util: one of the guys above, or Luis Garcia (7g), India (6g), or Loperfido (6g)
*CES sat out sunday after a hbp on his hand, manager says he is fine..
Gracias Senor Lothario
1. Busch 2. Loperfido
Preciate ya!
No problem
Please pick top 3 streamers
Severino home vs Cubs
Nestor at Orioles
Assad at Mets
J.Gray home vs Nats
Flaherty home vs Stl
Woods-Rich at WhiteSox
Flaherty, Woods, Gray
Senzel or Baty?
Pfaadt worth a #1 waiver claim?
thanks!
Senzel
Yes
Kebryan Hayes or Luis Garcia (was) ROS?
TIA
Also is it close?
I could also bottom feed for a gem hurler as I just traded away Morton and only have 1 pick up left for the week
Garcia
Need to start one of Taylor Ward or Wyatt Langford in a standard points league. Having trouble with the call. Langford’s matchups are somewhat better. Thoughts?
Ward
Hey Grey,
12-team roto with OBP.
Would you drop Heim for Jeffers?
Thanks!
Nope
Hey Grey,
Points league… bench bat
Grissom or Pages?
Thanks again
Pages
Senzel or C Correa?
Senzel
Arozarena; Tampa, we have a problem…
Kevin Cash has started moving him out of the 3 hole. Giving him days off. Panic meter at on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being nothing, 10 being full fledge panic mode?
Thanks Grey.
Jolt
He’s streaky. He bat .153 last July and .216 in September but you still drafted him.
2
Any Carroll owners biting the bullet and starting him this week? 6 home games, 5 v RHP. Tempting or fools gold?
Depends on options
Ward, LA?
no idea who either are facing
Is McCormick worth a roster spot in a 5 OF league? Some available options are Tauchmann, Haniger, Larnach, or jacob Young.
Young if you need SBs
Hi Grey,
Just one:
Cecconi/San Diego or Stone/Atlanta or King/Arizona?
Stone and King have each sucked in their own special way and I don’t even know if I’m spelling Cecconi right.
Thanks!
Home or away matters, none of these seem great
I agree…not so great! Stone and Cecconi at home, King away. I’ll probably roll the dice on Cecconi. Thanks.
Cecconi, I guess…not great, no
Good morning Grey,
Starting Lodolo at SD or Bryce Miller at ATL today? Both feel a bit risky, with Miller being the bigger risk….IP limit, so thinking of sitting 1…..
Picked up Zack Littlel for the week against CWS, which worked out well. Assuming he is not a long term hold, drop him for any of Fedde, Pfaadt, Gore, Severino, Elder, Parker?
Are any of them more than streamers in a 10 team, roto, daily lineup with 1500 IP limit?
Thanks!
Those starts sound bad
I’d look at their matchups
Thanks, will bench both this evening.
Are Pfaadt or Fedde more than streamers?
For now
What do you think about trading vlad for Albies?
Sure
Stott or Loperfido at MI?
Loperfido isn’t an MI
He is on ESPN: OF/2B
He is on ESPN 2B/OF.
Stott
Grey, picked up Adell….hes got a 970 OPS! Even if he drops down to a 325 obp, i could still see him going 25hr 25sb.
Am i crazy! Adell could be busting out finally. Tell me I’m not crazy!
I don’t think you’re crazy
Brandon Wood and Lewis Brinson would like a word
Haha
Grey
Pages or Adell
Pages
In a 12 teamer, who is rosterable and who is a streamer? Crochet, R.Olson, Feede, T.Rogers, Turnbull?
Fedde is rosterable
Great roundup Grey!
Couple roster questions for my weekly H2H 7×5 10 teamer:
1) Julien @CWS/BOS or Gleyber @BAL/DET this week?
2) Evan Carter WSH/@KC or Jo Adell (he’s on fire lately) PHI/@CLE
3) different positions but please pick 2 of the following for pitching:
Kirby @HOU
Munoz ATL/@HOU
Johan Duran (likely activated for this week) @CWS/BOS
4) top 2 flier from this group: Adell, Varsho, Senzel, Larnach, Wilyer Abreu
Thanks!
LG
1. Julien 2. Adell 3. Kirby, Munoz 4. Adell, Abreu
Thanks Grey!
No problem
Please rank Profar Verdugo Fraley
Fraley, Verdugo
Would you pickup any of Gavin stone, Mize, Gray, Gore, or Cecconi for Micheal King, Kikuchi, or Civale?
Gore for King
Please rank ros
Jared Jones,Pfaddt,Nestor,Civale
Nestor, Civale, Jones
looks like vaughn grissom will be activated this week. would you drop india or andy pages to activate him?
India
i am also going to try to trade Xander for a closer or starter but he has started slow and would be selling low. possibly dovall or munoz?
Sure
who in their right mind is trading one of those for bogaerts though
Hey grey, would you start both today?
Lodolo @ SD
Pepiot @Mil
Sure
Drop Kimbrel for Ginkel
Meh
1.) Eloy (3 vs MIN, 3 @ STL) or Ke’Bryan (3 @OAK, 3 vs COL) – OPS league
Thanks!
Eloy
Jacob young, wilyer abreu, or senzel in a 12 team head to head league?
Abreu
Cease or Josh Naylor
Naylor
Please rank Pfaadt Detmers Winn
Pfaadt, Winn
Morning Grey!
Which 3 of these guys would you roll with this week?
EdCab (COL)
Civale (NYM)
Bibee (LAA)
Lugo (@TOR)
Singer (TEX)
Morton (@LAD)
Tanner, Civale, Singer
Hey Grey, our league forces us to start a rookie pitcher each week. Stone gave me a good result on the weekend, but next he faces Atlanta, which scares me to death.
My pitching has been not great, and now I have to decide if I roll the dice with Stone vs. Atlanta, or put in Meyer to either protect my ratios, or pray for a call-up (would likely be vs. COL or @OAK if they do call him up). What do you think?
I wouldn’t start Stone vs. Braves
The closer MCarthur for KC over the closer Estevez for the Angels right?
Yes
Do you expect Yennier Cano to assume Balt closer duties given Kimbrels back issues last night?
Thanks!
Yes
Grey, 18 team mixed hth league with lifetime keepers. I traded Carroll and Neto for Trea Turner
and Christian Scott. How did I do?
Nice
Lugo @ Toronto or do I start a 2nd closer this week, A.Diaz. H2H league, 2 saves and no blow ups is basically the same as solid Lugo start with a win. Diaz gets Balt.and @ Padres. Thank you in advance.
Lugo
Kutter, Pasquantino and Scherzer for Josh Naylor and Michael King (likely to be dropped) in traditional 12-team roto. Which side?
Naylor, it’s fair
Drop Detmers for Jo Adell?
Sure
Hey Grey, H2h 6×6, is Naylor and Lodolo too much for Harris II? The trade analyzer has it within $1, but Naylor finished 1 spot away from Harris in Yahoo rankings last year and has returned more value this year, thus far.
Sounds fair
12 team H2H categories. Runs, HR, RBI, SB, AVG, OPS.
Mountcastle or Hoskins ROS? Thanks!
Mount
Who is more likely to contribute in 2024 – Jung or Casas?
Jung
I meant to include this in my question. Casas is especially scary since nothing unusual caused his problem. He claims it is just due to how he swings so hard. Makes one wonder what modifications he will be making to preclude this re-occurring,
Thanks.
Sounds bad, yes
OPS weekly H2H. Keep 3 for 1 year.
Have a glut of OF and need IF help.
Would you give Soto (this year only) and Shota for Witt (thru 2025)?
A little more context on this one. Trying to free up some space for SPs coming off the IL (Bradish, Woo). Getting very little production from my IF (2b Julien, SS Maikel, 3b Riley, w/ Caminero stashed, IF Nolan Jones). Thinking of trying to buy Gausman low at the same time. So the proposal would be:
Give: Soto, Shota, Kutter
Get: Witt, Gausman, his worst player
Hate to give Soto in an OPS, but love the idea of Witt for 2 years.
Sounds fair
Are Michael King and Keaton Winn holds in a 12 team mixed 7×7 w/ QS and K/9? Or are they streamers?
Streamers
ESPN Points, this week only, please rank top 3
Wacha vs Tex
Flaherty vs StL
Fedde @ StL
Knack vs AZ
Cano Vs NYY (4), @ Cin (3) New Balt closer?
Thanks
Flaherty, Wacha, Fedde
12-team 5×5 weekly lineup league. Any of the following 2-starters worth streaming?
Gibson (@DET and v NYM)
Knack (@ARI and vMIA)
Heaney (vWSH and @OAK) (yikes!)
Feltner (@MIA and @PIT) (double yikes!)
Thank you.
Knack
Hi Grey,
I may be able to pick up Carlos Correa off waivers.
Would you pick him up? If yes, who would you drop among Merrill or Rengifo?
Since Merrill has potential and Rengifo is hot and multi position eligible, another possibility is to drop Cedric Mullins since have a number of OFs or hold,
thanks as always!
No
Thanks!
What about Rhys Hoskins and play with only Ryan O’hearn at 1B for nowor hold?
Correa hasn’t been good for years, why do you want him?
great input. Thanks for challenging feedback. I was wondering if he could be an upgrade to either Merrill or Rengifo. I will hold off now
Hold
ESPN points, Would you pick up Landon Knack if drop is one of the following:
Fedde
Wacha
Flaherty
Cano (Balt closer now?)
If so, which of the above would you drop?
Thanks
answered above
Thanks…above question was this week only. This is more of a “rest of season” question in a deep league
Hold
Hey Grey,
points league… I’m looking to add an RP (5 pts per Save & 2 pts per Hold, 5 pts. per W)
who is the better add?
Payamps, J Adam, Y Cano, Ginkel, T Megill
Thanks
Ginkel
Riding India’s positive regression / hot streak this week or rolling with Grissom at your MI? Seems like India has the more favorable matchups.
Thanks!
India
Hope you had a great weekend!
interesting choices:
I could have four pitchers today:
Grayson Rodriguez on the road at the Yankees Christopher Sanchez on the road against the Angels
Garrett Crochet at home versus Minnesota
Yariel Rodriguez at home versus KC
Would you sit any of these pitchers? which has the most risk? ( i am 62+ in innings)
thanks so much!
Martin
Sit all except Yariel
thanks!!
No problem
Grayson is at home today my guy, get the facts straight martin !
h/h points 12 team redraft …have Luis Gil rostered but will probably only think about using him in 2 start weeks .. Means & Bradish are way back from injury is either a pickup and drop Gil
Bradish
Good Monday Grey: Yahoo took the NA away from Loperfido but put that NA back on him, so is he being called up or does Yahoo just suck?
he was called up last I heard
In a SVHD league, can we move on from Jansen and Estevez? Neither look bad but not giving much fantasy wise.
Estevez only has 4 SVHD and 7K
Jansen has 14K to 8BB and only 5 SVHD
Looking at overall fantasy production in OBP league this year, who are the BOTTOM 4?
Rooker
BDLC
Luis Garcia
India
Marsh
Pages
Jacob Young
Carpenter
Benson
If you want
Marsh, India, Rooker, Benson
Que pasa Boba king. Would you drop mitch keller in a shallow k/9 k/bb 10 team league for fedde or pfaadt. Keller has the shitty A’s next start
Pfaadt
Pepiot @ MIL or Sanchez @LAA today?
Sanchez
Oh great Grey,
can only start one:
Nola home vs. SF
JJones home vs. COL
Nola
How do you rank Rizzo, Mountcastle and Pasquantino for the rest of the year in a traditional 12-team roto league? Thanks!
Mount, Vinnie
NL-only, E. Montero or Triolo?
Montero
Gracias, Amoeba!
HAHA
Great morning Grey,
OBP and QS league trade. Keeper round values in ()
A: Yordan (1), Eflin (8)
B: Skubal (6), Langford (13), Shota (17)
Thanks!
Yordan
Dunning was pulled after striking out 10 hitters on only 69 pitches and 5 1/3 innings. Guess Bochy has seen the Dunning movie before, lol.
Man, Jose Abreu, Javy Baez and Kris Bryant all went to shit in a hurry didn’t they? Really glad the Cubs did not hand Abreu a 3 year contract two offseasons ago, which many Cubs fans were clamoring for.
Ha, yeah…on both
Followup question – someone just dropped Nolan Jones in our league. This is a no brainer pickup, right?
Yes
Good morning, Grey!
I could use the steals, so I’m considering picking up Jacob Young, but I have to drop somebody to do it. None of these guys are vital to my lineup….yet, and I was wondering who, if any, you would drop to get Young:
Orelvis Martinez (don’t know much about him other than he’s killing AAA)
Coby Mayo
AJ Blubaugh
Gavin Williams (IL’ed to 5/20 after elbow soreness during a rehab start. I like Williams but elbows make me nervous…but I’ve also lost Strider and Luzardo, so maybe I should hold Williams?)
Thanks!
Gavin
Ok, thanks. Great pre-season call on Isaac Paredes, and Alex Bohm, btw! Got both for a total of $4, while Riley and Arenado cost $49. Ha!
Nice!
Have room to continue to stash one of James Wood and Jordan Walker on my bench. Who’s your choice? I’m thinking it’s pretty likely Wood is up before Walker makes it back for the third time.
League: 10 teams with 12 keepers each
Wood
Would you start Montgomery at home versus dodgers tomorrow?
Yes
What’s your thoughts on Evan Carter? Someone dropped him after the second week and I scooped him up in my 12 teamer because I saw he was drafted fairly high. Is he worth a hold? I have Vaughn Grissom coming back tm.
I’d grab him
Loved the Framber blurb. Thank you.
Outman seems to be a platoon guy. Same with Frelick. (now there’s a name you should make fun of!) Can you rank Outman, Frelick, Loperfido and Senzel?
Thanks! Loperfido, Outman
Thanks. where does Adell fit in amongst those guys?
Whenever Jazz gives more than 50% effort there’s a 75% chance he gets hurt.
Ha, true
Great line.
Hey Grey! Yes, I do remember that episode with Santa’s little helper!! On the furreals, yesterday I was totally imagining Ranger making the all star team, and still you fielding questions about whether to start him or drop for a streamer.
Also. Martin Perez next start vs COL. Let’s show him some love with a stream!
I tried to grab him everywhere lol
HA
Grey,
better two-starter this week for a points league?
Cortes @Bal; DET
Lodolo @SD; BAL
Nestor
Thanks. Would Nestor be a no-brainer for a points league over Nola’s one start at home vs. SF?
Yes
Excelente trabajo Señor Grey! jajaja
16- teamo weeklyo pointos leagueo…
Who should I start for my last SP spot?
Flaherty Vs STL or K Harrison @ BOS?
Also, looking to add my last OF… who do you like better? Adell, W Abreu or Pages.
Mucho gracias
Flaherty
Wilyer
12 man keeper league. OBP/QS
My bats are great on paper but a bit slow to start the year. My arms are saving me week after week after picking up some cheap late draft gem tossers thanks to your rank lists early on. Tyty
I could use some power (slow start) and saves (1 actual closer) and was offered Soler and Neris for Morton and Jordan Walker or Morton and Matt shaw (minors)
I like Shaw but I also liked colt Keith coming into the season. I also think Walker can be a beast but…..
What ya think?
I’d like to add I play in a 5 year max keeper league and losing key players this year so I’m in win now mode. I was able to draft Turner this year and will be keeping him for 5. We have a an INF slot tho just waiting for Shaw.
What do I do about Walker? ?
He was a keeper for me from last year and hoped to have him locked as well.
Take Soler with Walker
Thanks grey!
Gonna take Soler and pray my man Walker figures it out.
Soler ahead of Eloy?
Yes
Thanks grey. Here’s to Walker figuring it out.
Soler is ahead of Eloy on the ranks still right. If Eloy can somehow stay healthy that is?
He’s a hot bat right now and I can make a counter that he would probably take
Soler is better than Eloy
Please ignore. Site is buggy and thought it didn’t send. Thanks again king!!!!!!
No problem
Grey!!!!!
Fantastic report!!!
a. Dropped Mayo in my RCL to sign up Senzel. Just to see what’s up. A lot of HRs and the Nats seem to be clicking as a team except for Corbin.
b. Chris Rock quote of the day for April 29, 2024
Nobody’s about saving anymore. No one cares about a rainy day anymore. Nobody saves up enough for even an umbrella for a rainy day. It’s sad. It really is a new form of slavery. We used to work to be able to afford material things. Now we work FOR these things. They’re the boss. That house you can’t afford, that car that’s out of your price range, that cellphone that drains your bank account – that’s your boss.
Cheers,

Yeah, the first 10 days I was kicking myself for not grabbing him anywhere, but wow. No home runs and .167 since.
Yikes
Traded Olson and Yamamoto for Hoskins and Tatis. Fingers crossed….?
Not that you should care what I think, but I like getting Tatis there. And you still have Berrios and Imanaga to anchor your rotation.
Adios the adios, that was the Spanish refresher course i didn’t sabe I necesito. I feel like these are the skills that can take me places, or at least to some place that isn’t my mom’s basement.
In the mid 90s there was a truck stop just outside of Boise, ID called Manley’s. Best breakfasts I ever had.

Jordan Hicks’ start looks to have matched the Glasnow start, but didn’t make the list. He’s now DTD with side tightness, but sounds insignificant.
Nice! Thanks for this! Missed that on Hicks, woof
Points league redraft, L Gil, C Mize or C Sanchez?
Thanks as always!
Sanchez
Great call on Paredes. Wyatt’s homerun was inside the park. I feel like that shouldn’t even count.
