Let me ask you something, is anyone hotter than Tyler O’Neill right now? Not to answer but to ruminate while ignoring both Gurriels, Ramon Laureano and Oscar Mercado. Â The answer is obviously no. That O’Neill can play right! Â Sorry, sorry. Â One more! Â O’Neill won the Nobel because he was out standing in a field! Â Okay, okay, one more! Â O’Neill picked up for La Stellllllllllllla, and it’s all that I Desire. Â Okay, sorry, wrong guy that can play right, I mean, left. Won’t let it happen again. Get O’Neill on your team, and drop your Loman. Â Wow, surprised you with my lies! So, O’Neill is playing every day with OZUNA nursing his truck driver’s ‘How’s your father’ finger and O’Neill might just be a hot schmotato for power, but he could also be breaking out. He’s merely 24 years old, and has 30-homer power (okay, everyone does, so maybe he has 40-homer power). His current average will fall, but who else do you want on that Long Day’s Journey Into Night. Â I got another one in! Â Theater nerd alert! Anyway, here’s some more players to Buy or Sell this week in fantasy baseball:
PSYCHE! Before we get into the post, Donkey Teeth and fellow football Razzballers have set up the RazzBowl. It’s played at NFFC, and it’s FREE. Â FREE isn’t an acronym too, it’s the monetary cost, as in none. Â The gist: Â It’s Regular Joes vs. Pros in a Best Ball tourney. Â Go there and sign up now! Â Anyway II, the Buy/Sell:
BUY
Mitch Garver – Mitch don’t kill my vibe, but not as in an order a’la, “Mitch, please don’t kill my vibe, because you often do,” but instead it’s a statement, notifying you that Mitch does not, in fact, kill my vibe.
Danny Santana – The Rangers are currently going through a transition where they move on from their top prospects (Calhoun, Mazara) and turn the page to their players who were well past their sell-by date on other teams (Asdrubal, Pence, Santana). *insert ‘It’s a bold strategy, Cotton, let’s see if it pays off for them’ Dodgeball .gif* Â With that said (Grey’s turning the boat!), Dannys Antana has been crazy hot.
Nate Lowe – I’m still debating (internally — mostly my pancreas vs. liver) whether Lowe was a great batty call by the Hittertron last weekend vs. the Orioles, or will actually get playing time.
Garrett Cooper – Can understand if Cooper just happened to pop a squat in the Buy column, but I’ve been talking about him for over a month. Â On our 30-day Player Rater, he’s been better than Kris Bryant, Yordan Alavarez and Blackmon, to name three randos.
Keston Hiura – Weird to have a tiny 2nd baseman be a heart-of-an-order bat, but that’s what Keston is. Â Call him Hiuraltuve.
Kevin Newman – ‘Member that week-long dopey “Dah, what’s going on, boo-boo?” move by C**nt Hurdle hitting Adam Frazier leadoff over Newman? Â Yeah, he could do something dumb like that again, but I like Newman.
Harold Castro – Hottest Castro since Che gave Fidel a hot foot with one of his own cigars — “You wasted a good cigar I got from duty free, you bastard!” — and this Castro is batting 2nd for the Tigers.
Gavin Lux – He was on Prospect Mike’s top 50 fantasy baseball prospects midseason list, and looks to be emerging as the last great call-up of this year. Â Possibly. Â Whatever happened to Luis Urias? Did the Padres really commit to Ian Kinsler? Too many questions leading to too many frustrating answers. Â Gavin’s been ridicuLux in the minors — 7 HRs in 15 games in Triple-A, hitting .531 — and with Chris Taylor going down, well, I considered making Lux this week’s lede.
Isan Diaz – He just missed Prospect Mike’s top 50 fantasy baseball prospects at the break. He has 22 homers in 325 ABs and a .305. Â He as in Isan, not Mike (that I know of). I’m guessing Castro gets moved or benched for Diaz shortly. Â Castro as in Starlin, not Harold.
Michael Brosseau – It’s brutal owning Rays hitters. Â Kevin Cash is trying to win daddy’s love, and his daddy is Joe Maddon, and since daddy says you can’t start anyone every day at the same lineup spot, Cash likes to mix it up. Â Cash ruins everything around me, give Brosseau and Lowe playing time!
Robel Garcia – Speaking of daddy, Robel’s been hitting, but randomly Bote and Addison Russell has to start, I guess.
Jeimer Candelario – He reminds me of my grandmother, because Jeimer sounds Jewish and Candelario sounds like diabetes.
Teoscar Hernandez – As many corner men that we had this week for hot pickups, the outfielders are kinda sad. Â What, you want me to list Alex Dickerson as a pickup just because he is hitting north of .350? Â Hey, look at that, I just listed him, too!
Alex Verdugo – This is an ESPN under-owned guy that I don’t full buy as being available, i.e., his 46% ESPN ownership, doesn’t add up, while his 97% owned in RCLs does, but if he’s unowned in your league, Verdu-vamos!
Tyler Naquin – Been heating up recently, though I feel like he might just be a poor man’s Leonys Martin. Â Call him Leona Helmsley Martin (ya know, post-tax evasion).
Tyler Beede – His walks have been terrible. More like Tyler BB, amiright?! But his park is great, and he’s found a lot more Ks this year. Â I’m between a cyclops and a hardly-any-good-pitchers-so-pick-him-up.
Trent Thornton – Admittedly, didn’t love my streaming candidates on Saturday, so take Thornton with a grain of salt, but this is a Streamonator call. Like the call it makes to the cheese counter at Whole Foods.
Rogelio Armenteros – Being called up to start on Saturday, and Prospect Mike called him an AL-Only, deeper dynasty guy. Â Don’t disagree, but, for Saturday, he’s also a Streamonator call. “I was talking to a pimp and he said if I can get that cheese, we can be friends.”
Zach Plesac – And one more Streamonator call. “He told me to get him ‘dat greenback cheese,’ do you not have it?”
Hunter Strickland – He’s throwing live batting practice, and could resume the role of closer, or join LinkedIn and make a resume saying he was once a closer.
Mark Melancon – Better closers are available in some leagues. Seen someone asking about picking up Liam Hendriks. Â He (ndriks), for unstints, is better. Much better. Much to the infinity power. Him chomping on an infinity pumice stone. Â How’sever, I wouldn’t be shocked at all if Bochy went to Melancon for saves when Smith is traded. It could be Watson or Dyson too. Â Also, bonus points if you’re a molecular biologist and you own Watson & Kyle Crick. Â “I call my team, Double Helix,” and snorts.
SELL
Luke Voit – “If you were going to put Ramon Laureano in your top 100 for the 2nd half, who would you replace?” You ask while slowly stirring a metal straw. I think I’d remove Voit. Listen, last year we thought he was an extended Kevin Maas. Â Maaaaaaaaaaas? Â Kevin Maas after popping an Extenze? Â Sure, yes, you get the picture. Â Not saying Voit is totally done (not yet at least), but he’s been dropped in the order, and I’m beginning to worry he’s either nursing an injury or in a serious funk. Yesterday’s home run was a sign. Good? Maybe, hard to say. Not saying to drop him (yet), but I would explore options on the Fantasy Baseball Trade Analyzer. Â Also, not saying to trade him for a naked picture of your significant other after you put them through the old face FaceApp.
Nl only 5×5 keeper .. Trade Yu at $8 for Verdogo $8?
Sure
after today, hold mahle in NL only over gausman, his results starting to get to his FIP (4.19, BEFORE today, so better now of course).
nevermind, somebody beat me to him. dropped sandy with 24 minutes till his today start. matz did good though, mahle could be my drop for pab lop later. matz had a kimbrel inning, and in that his first K to pillar was 3 straight change ups. albeit that was SF though.
Hey Grey,
how do you rank hunter dozier, Luis Urias, Amed Rosario in a standard 5×5 redraft League ROS
Thanks!
Amed, Hunter
Are you dropping McKay and/or Cease in points leagues?
Both
Would you feel safe starting Marquez away from home going forward?
he’s said he’s only starting him away from home now, but he didn’t say he thought it safe all the time. i’m guessing he wouldn’t have thought today was “safe” for 12 team standard sized leagues. he owns him in tons of spots though, some of which are deep enough that he did start him today. i know i did, even in a 12 teamer (albeit i was losing ratios already in that 12 teamer h2h this week), but mostly i have him in deeper leagues.
Until further notice
Who are my two weakest bats…
Harper
Soto
Andrus
Ozuna
M. Franco
Hoskins
Soler
mallex
Yordan
Upton
Pollock
LeMahieu

@Grey: weekly roto. Need to bench one of these guys. Who sits?
Lucchesi vs SF
Marquez @ Cin
Caleb @ CWS
Caleb
happy marquez on the road day, it’s going nice.
Don’t jinx us!
when only 1/4 of yr fly balls is a HR it’s pretty damn ok, compared to in COL.
oops, 2/5 of them now. still better than tons of his COL starts.
Nice!
Hahaha, it’s crazy
Hangin onto 1st in weekly 5X5 standard format, debating on who to fill last SP spot this week. Choices are Gallen (@ CWS), Marquez (away from Coors) (vs CINN), or L. Urias out of LAD pen. Thank you brother
Marquez
Stuff is too good (pumpin 98 today) gonna stick with him away from Coors – thanks
Yeah, jkust don’t get roped into home starts
Ha – will do!!!!!!
Who is this Asher kid and how are the Red Sox up there treating him like the second coming of Nolan Ryan?
Haha
Grey!
Conforto or O’Neill?
H Castro or McMahon?
Thanks
Conforto…McMahon
Been offered either Benitendi or Corey Seager for Kershaw. It is a keeper league. Would you trade Kershaw for any one of these two?
I’d take either, Benintendi first
1. Drop Mazara for Garrett Cooper, Kevin Pillar or Leury Garcia in a 12 team H2H redraft points league?
2. Do you think Taillon will be back and make any impact this season (playoffs start August 19th)? He’s been plugging up my IL spot all year and I also have Tim Anderson and David Peralta out. Thinking of dropping Taillon for someone I could use in the 2B/SS spot Anderson currently occupies. Would you drop Taillon for Luis Urias, Brian Dozier, Scooter Gennett, Nick Ahmed, Enrique Hernandez or Eric Sogard? Which do you think will be better ROS?
1. Cooper 2. Drop him for Urias
Can you rank:
B Dixon, Biggio, H Castro, Yastremski, A Slater
Thanks!
Bleh, they’re all schmotatoes at best… Castro, Yaz, Slater
I benched Laureano in favor of Benintendi yesterday cause I had a feeling the Red Sox would score a bunch of runs against the O’s – which did happen, but Benintendi turned in another blah performance with 2 Rs on 0 hits and 3 Ks. Is there a term for a player like Benintendi who is “too good to drop” but by holding is costing you from winning?
Don’t bench Laureano again until further notice
if yr in a total bases league if you look backwards at laureano’s bases per day it’s sick, probably best in the league for last few weeks as far as stable per day performances. since july 5th it’s 4 per day. that’s almost gotta be best in the league for last 11 days since then. also he hasn’t been benched during this timeframe.
Hold JP Crawford or Candelario? Categories don’t matter
Jeimer
Happy Sunday, Grey. Would you move Voit for Darvish?
Sure
Looking to add a hitters next week for best overall production-
Eaton, 4 vs Colo and 3 vs LA with two left handers
F.Reyes,
Scooter, Winkler ( Facing all right handers)
A.Simmons,
CJ Cron,
Which two or three do you like best.
Thank you and have a nice Sunday
Is that in Colo or just vs. Colo?
Just vs Colo. It’s in Wash.
So why list Colo and no other opponents? I guess Reyes and Cron, but I have no idea where these guys are playing
Sorry I was just pointing out a couple.
Cron vs NYY and @ CWS
[email protected] NYM and home vs SF
Simmons @ LAD and home vs Balt.
Thanks
Cron, Simmons, Reyes
Domingo Santana over Soler based on you’re rankings the rest of the way out this season. Still true in a keeper league? (H2H points, k count against).
Could be it be close as keepers? I just swapped them in a trade – received Domingo, gave Soler.
Yeah I’d want Domingo
deep league with QS, add junis or urquidy? both have decent SON numbers for next starts, both on 26th.
Urquidy
Hello Grey,
12 Team H2H 6×6 OPS Redraft
After trading Bell/Musgrove for Cole I still had Voit and picked up Olson to cover 1B.
Your thoughts on acquiring Danny Santana who has 1B-2B-OF eligibility, and legs which I could use, and drop either Voit or Olson.
Thanks again for your response
Olson
1. Please rank top three to be ROS contributors in standard H2H ESPN league (10 hitting categories).
Senzel, Santander, Renato, Christian Walker, Franmil, Reddick, O’Neill, Kole, Sogard, JBJ.
2. Best holds options. Top two please. Ratios matter:
Strop, Garrett, Jeffress, J Wilson
1. Senzel, JBJ, Franmil
2. Strop, Amir
Thank you! Add on question …Fiers just got dropped. My last SP is Lucchesi. Swap or hold?
I’d go Fiers
Would you drop McKay for streamers at this point?
Yes
Hoskins or Matt Olson ROS for counting stats?
Yuli HR again. So tempted to swap Hoskins for him. Want some production.
Hoskins but I hear ya
Don’t mean to question the person who provides great advice and his responsible for my 1st place position…but, what are we waiting on from Hoskins? I think he should be better than 50/20/60 at his point. His July has been horrible. I think he’s only got 1 HR this month.
He’s a potential 15 homers in a month guy… feels like you’d be moving off who could be next Yuli and getting on tail end of Yuli’s hot streak… if you’re feeling it, I won’t stop you… I wouldn’t do it
Good point…and I thought about that. I think I just needed to vent.
You have no one else to drop for Yuli?
Please rank:
Stroman, Fried, McKay
None? Fried, Stroman
I need to fill an OF spot and a U spot.
I own Cooper, T.O’Neill, J.Upton, and N.Lowe
I have room for one more on my bench…available names are:
Harold Castro, Grandma Candelario, A-Dick, B.Crawford, Santander, Canha, Yaz, Solano, Beaty, and Profar
Grandma — haha
I’d go Dickerson, dude’s smoking schmotatoes
Thanks. I’ll grab A-Dick. Wait, that sounds bad. Also…Sorry, since you said Jaimer reminded you of your grandmother. I shouldn’t have called her your “Grandma”..
How do you rank Cooper, O’Neill, Upton, N.Lowe, and A-Dick? In that order?
Haha, it’s cool… Cooper, Upton, O’Neill
Acuna has 7 steals in the last week – winning me that category on his own!
What a season he’s having. Should get 30/30 in his sleep.
So jealous I don’t have him
Drafted him 6th :-)
Ridiculous
Got him #14 in my draft. Amazing player. Of course I also drafted Aguilar, Inciarte and Carrasco.
went 3rd or 4th i forget in my only 5×5 (money) league. figured a steals guy that high (didn’t believe in yelich at all) wasn’t bad idea. wouldn’t have gone him likely that high in an OPS.
I hear ya
Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Looking to stream tomorrow. Need the best option of:
Plesac v KC (SON 12.7)
Matz @ SF (4.9)
DeSclafani v StL (10.9)
or Armeneros v Tex (last min add so Idk SON)
Leaning DeSclafani but it is close.
Also glad I benched Lucchesi based on SON but Samardzija still got me for 7.20 ERA but thankfully the WHIP was only 1.20.
SON totally worth it for saving time & whatever Rudy’s secret sauce is on days like today.
Yup!
it’s just ketchup and tartar sauce!
I’d go SON and Plesac
Drop Nate Lowe for Hunter Dozier?
Yup
Riley has cooled off — Braun or Riley?
Braun
I really want Conforto to be dealt now. He’s healthy, in his prime and just needs out of the dysfunctional time with the Mets.
I think the perfect fit/partner would be with St. Louis. They have a top 100 OF, Dylan Carlson, who is doing great in AA that can go to the Mets. Sweeten the deal with one major league arm (maybe Dakota Hudson, or, Ponce de leon, or RP Giovanny Gallegos) and the Mets will trade Conforto in an instant.
Say what you will about the Cardinals, but they are about as stable an organization there is and I think Conforto’s confidence would go through the roof in that type of situation.
He’s like one of the few players off the table for the Mets
do NOT trade away carlson, as an STL local here. gallegos actually one of the best RP in the entire league this year (and the sample isn’t small (for RP anyway) anymore)
Grey,
would you start these pitchers tomorrow
1. Kyle Hendricks (CHC) at home vs SD
2. James Paxton (NYY) at home vs COL
3. Michael Pineda (MIN) at home vs OAK
4. Alex Young (ARI) at home vs MIL
Yes, all of them
LAD are NOT the only team that exploits the lack of objectivity when it comes to DL slots. one day after turnbull is said by manager to be “near innings limits” he pops up with “back” injury.
Yup
Hey Grey just a quick follow up to an earlier question.
12 Team H2H Categories
Austin Riley or Franmil
Thanks!
Riley
lucchesi is getting killed by his defense, 3 straight infield singles. was hit decently hard in the 1st 2 innings though.
of course when everything is in the infield you get some double plays too.
Glad I benched him
Adames or Profar In AL only?
Profar
Grey. 5×5 obp 5×5 k/9 QS
1st place and today is our trade deadline.
I was offered Blackmon for my 1st next year
Or JRam j Polanco and ryu for my 2nd rd and 6th rd next year.
Which one makes more sense?
Vasquez
Freeman
Moustakas
Arenado

Bellinger
D samtana
Marte S
Moncada

Jo-Ram
Would you mind going up and taking a look at my question about Luis Urias?
Hey Grey,
12 Team H2H Categories
Could you rank these 3 please
Luis Urias, Senzel, Austin Riley
Thank You!
Riley, Urias
Chavez, Newman or Hunter Dozier worth a drop for Urias?
When I say Chavez I mean Chavis.
Oh, I see, it was under Russ’s… I’d drop Newman for Urias — though only I’m guessing Chavez is Chavis
Yes, thanks.
No problem
Start Heaney @seattle or save add for pickup of Ed rod @tampa?
Neither are good, I guess save
heaney’s a 25.6 on SON tomorrow. unless a giant wind (going out) report shows up in about 18 hours, then it might be as low as 11-15 or so.
Hey Grey,
I am starting to think about the off season and who I am planning to protect. I need your advice. I have a few 3B and not sure who to protect. Here are my 3B with the price it would cost me to keep them next year against my salary cap of $1300:
Hunter Dozier ($6)
Yandy Diaz ($6)
David Fletcher ($6)
Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. ($6)
Yuli Gurriel ($33)
Jose Ramirez ($53)
Justin Turner ($33)
Who should I protect?
Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. ($6)
Dozier
Jose Ramirez ($53)
Fletcher
Yandy
I agree with all of them, but I was thinking about keeping Gurriel and throwing Turner back.
That works for me
not sure if Corey Seager is worth keeping at $43 next year.
here with 3B you have 7 options. if you have 7 SS options similar to the 3B guys likely not. but no way of knowing yet. 43 out of 1300 isn’t a huge number.
Harrow,
I have Didi ($22), Seager ($43), and David Fletcher ($6) to consider keeping . THose are their price for ’20.
didi and fletcher pretty good values. can probably find somebody who thinks ceager at 43 is worthwhile too.
Seems fair
Grey do u agree with Harrow? Let him go and try to get him cheaper?
Yes, I agree with Harrow
OK thanks as always. Hey BTW, do you think Luis Urias sticks with the Pods?
Yup
holy crap, acuna seems to realize some of us own both him and mondesi eh. i just noticed that the only 2 leagues i have one of them i have both, which is odd.
Been so great!
plutko and lucchesi both lost about 14 in SON since about 4 AM or maybe later today (plutko also lost about this in same time frame before his last start). lucchesi was around -1, now far worse.
I asked Rudy about it, he says weather (wind) was implemented into SON this year, so numbers drop in certain places, especially can be Wrigley
ok, amazing it could do that much routinely. CLE too (or where ever plutko has been the last 2 times at least). so CLE/CHI today are quite windy (going out too). that actually does make sense, as i’m guessing the weather doesn’t adjust till he hits the button, which is probably around exactly 6ish AM in a lot of instances.
It’s all automatic, so if weather changes, and wind starts blowing out, pitchers are dinged and hitters get a boost
sure, but this still always happens at around 6 AM if it happens (or at least the majority of it, the change from 2-4 AM to 5-6 AM), so guessing weather reports come out in that time frame, if rudy’s not actually hitting a button to adjust based on it. obviously weather doesn’t have inflection points (no such thing as a lack of a weather projection at 2-4 AM then suddenly is one at 5-6), unless CHI/CLE and probably elsewhere often when they are windy this is a late weather change (so at 2-4 AM no projection for wind, but a few hours later definitely is a projection for wind). guessing whatever weather site he’s using for this does their own adjustments at around 5-6 AM for the coming day, but not before that.
Wind changes hourly in Wrigley, and not sure how weather is measured or Rudy wants to give out secret sauce on that
The overnight script runs around 6AM EST to ensure I’ve got all last night’s games included + weather. Weather doesn’t become available until day of the game. The wind might change throughout day but the biggest impact should be at 6AM or so when weather/wind is first incorporated.
need to drop one: olson or b reynolds
Reynolds
Grey, please pick best streamer out of these 3?
Plesac home vs KC
Pineda home vs Oak
Heaney at Sea
Plesac
In a 10-team shallow standard 5×5 redraft roto league.
I traded Bell last night after watching him go hitless again for Pete Alonso.
I also traded Jo-Ram for K. Bryant in a separate trade.
How did I do?
You did great!
@Grey: 12 team weekly roto redraft. How do you rank Heaney, Beede and Merrill Kelly?
Thanks!
Beede, Kelly
Bench one in a points league
Didi vs COL (Senzatala)
Dahl @ NYY (Tanaka)
Danny Santana @ HOu (Urquidy)
Laureano @ MIN (Berrios)
Or Hiura @ ARI (Greinke)
Didi
Cooper, mazara, pollock, perslta.. drop 1?
Maz
Is N Anderson a buy ? What chance percentage romo gets traded and he becomes the closer ?
I’d say about 20%
Better streamer?
Urquidy vs TEX $12.6
Rogelio Armenteros vs TEX $13.8
Rogelio Armenteros
Urias or Kingery
King until further notice
Kingery
Grab Luis Urias over Hunter Dozier or Jon Gray in 12 team roto keeper league? Is it close? Thanks!
Rather have Doze. But its close.
Gray is apples/oranges
Over Gray, but apples/oranges
NL only, hold mahle over either of s.anderson or agrazal? agrazal’s FIP is garbage town, the other 2 are nearly tied. i could dropped mahle for beede but didn’t, now he’s gone. either mahle or matz appear to be my drop for pab lop coming off DL at some point anyway. QS over wins 10 team h2h here.
also V2 is out there, but his FIP is almost 6, worst of the bunch (barely worse than agrazal’s). or could add gausman, back soon, FIP not close to as bad as results (4.18). or mills (CUBS, back up MON @ SF -5.2). c.anderson is surprisingly not owned. he’s only got 1 QS all year, but he generally gets the -5ish range on SON but tends to outperform that. barely better FIP than mahle (with less K upside)
Hold Mahle
Better stash who might actually do something this year… Bo Bichette or Isan Diaz?
Isan
Lowe, cron, walker, nunez, dynasty obp ros I need starters
I got Snell, Boyd, berrios, Kershaw, jon grey, cc, corbin
Is there a question?
Would you drop Didi for Urias in a points league?
Sure
Hoskins or Yuli ROS for counting stats? I had to say it as ridiculous as it might sound. But, Yuli is right with him in all categories and hits for a much better average in a great lineup. He’s been on fire for awhile now and doesn’t look like he’s going to fall off the map.
I hear ya, but Hoskins
I’m surprised nobody is asking: 5×5 with Ks and OBP – Hiura or Urias?
Hiura
Freddie freeman
for
trea turner and jesse winker
???
nl-only
expect winker to be an everyday guy ROS?
Trea side
Drop Hicks for Mercado? Someone dropped him.
Sure — nice email, btw
Thanks! Which was that Dearleader?
Yeah I use that one when I’m incognito and paranoid my league mates are in the comments. True story the origin of that email alias was when a friend and I created fake Friendster accounts for Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il to troll friends. Ah yes, I’m old.
Also, Urias coming up!
I actually moved Mondesi to the DL and dropped weaver and lucchesi to add Mercado and Urias (again) because I Have a lot of pitching suddenly and couldn’t let go of Hicksy. Stubborn yankee fan.
Haha, that’s awesome! Dearleader is great… yeah, baby, Urias!
Thanks man!
No problem
You like Urias? Seems like low power, hit in bottom of lineup at petco is not very intriguing.
Yeah, Fungazi, I like him
Low power based on what?
He’s changed his launch angle since being sent down and profiles more of a power hitting middle IF with solid average and good speed now.
Dude’s hitting bombers
Based on him sharing Altuve’s car seats to see over his steering wheel and being 150 lbs soaking wet
Best option
Samardjzija vs NYM
Plutko vs KC
Junis @ CLE
Porcello @ BAL
Marquez vs NYY
None of these are great… Samardzija
Drop Kingery or D Murphy or Nate Lowe for Urias in a 12 team keeper points league? My other 1b is Abreu and Ss/2b is Torres.
Lowe
In a points league, would you rather own 4 solid closers and 7 starters, or 3 solid closers and 8+ starters?
3/8
Would you drop Kennedy out of this list?
Kennedy
Diaz
Doolittle
Robles
Yes
My Bryant for his Nola? I hurting for pitching and my hitting is doing fine.
Bit much but could end up solid
Urias or McMahon?
Urias
Are we chalking this up as a bad day for McKay?
Yeah, he got pretty unlucky, was watching
Lots of bad fielding too
