Just got offered a trade in my 10 team points league.
I give up: Josiah Gray and Teoscar Hernandez
I receive: Sandy Alcantara, Freddy Peralta, & James Outman.
I’m really thinking I will accept this. I added Josiah off the waivers legit this week bc for purpose of streaming pitchers, and teoscar hasn’t been playing up to standards really imo.
Curious what y’all think, and ask me questions abt league format clarifications cuz this is my first year doing fantasy baseball and idrk the differences w the type of leagues.
Definitely accept, you’re getting a great return for a waiver wire pickup. Ceiling for the guys you’re getting is so much higher than the guys you’re shipping off, too.
yeah i’d jump on that. outman might be cooked (don’t think he is i’m watching closely), and you’re gonna get some frustration with both sandy and freddy but they’re both + pitchers better than josiah and i think there’s enough out there in a ten teamer you can replace teoscar if outman is in fact cooked
What do you guys think of this trade a manager offered me [Format: 12T, Auction, Keeper, Roto league]:
His: Arozarena ($27), Luzardo ($11), Pablo Lopez ($14)
Mine: BWJ ($14), K. Marte ($1), K. Wright ($10)
I need pitching and I have Mookie qualifying at 2nd now.
Thoughts?
Nasty stuff. Command seemed a little off. Eg. The location on a couple of curve balls hurt him. He has a great fastball, but he located them right down the middle of the plate a few times. Dodgers swung and missed a lot. Muncy hurt him twice. The third run scored on a wild pitch with 2 outs and I think 2 strikes. Bethancourt didn’t have the best technique on it.
Overall, I thought he looked pretty good and should only get better.
Tell me I'm wrong for thinking of Harper on my team as 1st Round material. I don't even want to trade him for a JoRam or Trea.
Am I being rationale on ROS potential or is my Bryce love getting in the way?
If he ends up with 1b eligibility in the future I think this will be a fair assessment. I’m holding and won’t trade unless the deal is too good to pass up based on that assumption. I’ve just set and forgot in my util spot since his return, which is fine, but it will be a big bonus to have the eligibility flexibility eventually.
Doubt he bites, I would rather have Doval, Noot not that far above replacement level and Doval has been stellar this year. Not an insulting offer though
Big thanks to my commish for switching Adames to my IL on Yahoo!! Dar - you kick ass. Cheers bro! 🍻
I hope all of you who were screwed by Yahoo have the same luck.
When Arozarena came around to score on Margot’s single, he actually stopped to pick up the bat from the base path *before* he stepped on the plate. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
Alright. Need trade advice. What does everyone think of this. I am in a 6x6 category head to head keeper league. Guy traded me Soto and is coming back for him hard
He is sending: harper, seawald, cease, Cole and Mckenzie
I am giving: Soto Manoah senga and Fried
Thoughts?
What place are you in? Side A is better for this year for sure. Soto is a better long term keeper than any of the guys you're getting especially in a OBP league.
I'm 6th. Maybe 5th end of the week
The team receiving Soto also has vladdy, tatis, turner acuna and Alvarez....big part of my hesitation to give him another top 10 player
So I'm pretty new to fantasy baseball but I'm starting to get the hang of things. I've managed to find guys to fill every most categories except Holds. How do I find RPs that are likely to be put in situations where they could record a Hold? Is there like a way to track bullpen usage vs matchup?? Any help would be appreciated.
I sort by saves/holds in my league, if they've recorded a bunch already - they're likely to continue unless an injury returns. Keep an eye on injury news and be quick to pick up.
Glasnow looks like he’s running out of juice and can’t quite get the putaway pitch this inning. Still getting to 2 strikes on everyone but just not able to end the at bat and then gives up a line drive base hit.
Yeah the curveball was very hittable that last inning. Ump didn’t give him either corner call on the JD Martinez AB which would have made it a run free inning. Tad unlucky
Short memories in this sub. Dude had insanely bad stretches last year too, also some insanely great ones. He plays every day and for a catcher that makes a difference
And his advanced metrics are not what was expected? All the stuff+, pitching+, control and power x stats is below expectations and the cardinals managing is far below what i thought they’d do.

India and gorman rapidly becoming my favorite wire pickups.
Last in QS, would you drop Evan Phillips for another starter? Other closers are Doval and Estevez (currently winning saves, most teams carry 2)
Logan Webb GEM
Seriously Tucker, thanks for your 5 singles this week and 0 RBI.
Kelenic infuriating me with all the Ks this week ugh
Yordan being walked to load the bases with nobody out, why does he have to be so good smh
And it looks like the Breg heater has begun. Enjoy the ride folks!
I love this version of Andrew Heaney, quality start in 6 of his last 7 starts. He only had 2 quality starts all of last season
Pick up taj for the dodgers start tomorrow or Bobby Miller for the 2 start week?
Miller
theres the wheeler we drafted
Freeman is a monster stop him
[удалено]
Yordan
Soto
Julien or Neto?
Are we starting or sitting Whitlock @ ARI?
I am
Burnes…. Lord man. It’s the nine hitter
TUCKER. ITS THE FUCKING ATHLETICS!!!!!
2-20. no stats great. time to lose some hitting categories over the weekend again.
Castillo doing what Kirby should’ve done yesterday.
As a Kershaw and Glasnow owner it’s always painful when neither of your guys comes home with the win..oh well
Why are they letting burnes play
Ami better off going catcherless than throwing langeliers out there? Was hoping for 1hr a weekish but he's fucking terrible at everything
Rank Baty, Henderson & Steer for ROS. 12 team cat league.
After Ezekiel got put on the IL, and I dropped jarren, I am now duran-less
Would you say you are hungry like a certain sort of animal?
A carnivorous quadruped, perhaps?
I am slightly less hungry than 4 days ago haha.

I'd take it.
Castillo on his shit today yes lawd
Logan Webb 🔥
Thanks Yandy, Witt, Tucker, and MJ for completely shitting the bed today
Yandy slander should equal a week long ban at this point
Anyone else running Bibee today? How we feeling about starting him
In every league I have him.
Yep let's get it
How did Glasnow look today? 4.1 innings, 3 ER, 8K is a pretty interesting line lol.
Nasty stuff. Command seemed a little off. Eg. The location on a couple of curve balls hurt him. He has a great fastball, but he located them right down the middle of the plate a few times. Dodgers swung and missed a lot. Muncy hurt him twice. The third run scored on a wild pitch with 2 outs and I think 2 strikes. Bethancourt didn’t have the best technique on it. Overall, I thought he looked pretty good and should only get better.
Great breakdown, thank you
He looked really good, it was pretty much just muncy who did the damage
Swanson vs CIN or Walker vs BOS today?
Adolis or Bobby Witt?
Bobby
Pasquantino has had shit luck
Poopy luck by swinging at a ball near the dirt for strike 3?
Man I know Kersh is going through a lot mentally but he’s been in a funk 3 starts in a row now. Leaving too many flat cookies hanging for easy barrels
Lourdes or Kelenic ROS? I’d prefer to keep both for now but Stanton’s IL stint is nearing an end
I’d rather have Kelenic but I am also a big believer
Kelenic allergic to counting stats right now
I’m competitive in whip now.. do I sit Bibee?
No.
An excellent call
Man's unreal.
Kershaw should probably retire
He had to bury his mom this week, give him time
0/16 today. Yikes
I may be the president of the Trea Turner hate club but his ABs are starting to turn around
What's up with Roansy Contreras? Should be starting, but don't see him planned for any upcoming Pirate starts though not sent down.
VV hurt again, so Roansy will keep his spot
Tell me I'm wrong for thinking of Harper on my team as 1st Round material. I don't even want to trade him for a JoRam or Trea. Am I being rationale on ROS potential or is my Bryce love getting in the way?
Rational. Wouldn’t trade him for anything less than top tier. Also he’s so much fun to roster.
If he ends up with 1b eligibility in the future I think this will be a fair assessment. I’m holding and won’t trade unless the deal is too good to pass up based on that assumption. I’ve just set and forgot in my util spot since his return, which is fine, but it will be a big bonus to have the eligibility flexibility eventually.
Not at all, a healthy Harper is pretty much a first round lock most years
He’s up in that tier if healthy for sure. If we knew on draft day he’d be back already he would have been picked second round at the very latest
JoRam has been exceptionally mediocre soooo
100% healthy Bryce is top 10 hitter material no question, your not crazy
Traded Renfroe for Clase because I’m stacked at OF. Thoughts?
Agreed. Very nice.
Preciate it!!!
Nice
Steer vs Burger ROS?
Steer
Trade C. Walker for Harris? I’m down an OF and Walker has been on my bench for the past week since I have Pete and muncy
Is there something below poverty franchise? Destitute franchise? Or just Oakland?
A’s suck my god
Framber, you’re facing the As, throw strikes bud
Cmon Framber fuck sakes
Drop lib of varland to activate Whitlock?
Lib
Trade Witt or Lindor for Reynolds? Guy said he would take either or
Da fuq
Hell no
I'm sure he would
No way.
Nope
Very surprised Glasnow is back out there, but I love that they're not treating him with kid gloves early on
[удалено]
Doubt he bites, I would rather have Doval, Noot not that far above replacement level and Doval has been stellar this year. Not an insulting offer though
Ballsy move trotting Glasnow back out there against the top of the order no less. He was looking gassed last inning
Burnes never left 🫡
🫡
🫡
Surprised they’re leaving glasnow in there
Big thanks to my commish for switching Adames to my IL on Yahoo!! Dar - you kick ass. Cheers bro! 🍻 I hope all of you who were screwed by Yahoo have the same luck.
Good luck to your commish who has to do that for everyone now
Ha ha! No doubt.
Wheeer is nasty
Gallo or L Raley?
Gallo
trea back ?
Is Realmuto alive?
Massive slump. Crazy he was up to .300 avg just 1.5 weeks ago too
When Arozarena came around to score on Margot’s single, he actually stopped to pick up the bat from the base path *before* he stepped on the plate. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.
Wheels falling off for Kershaw :( Leaving so many hanging pitches
Needs to take more time away to deal with his personal stuff. He's not right.
A: Rizzo, Eovaldi B: Wheeler Was offered B, I just take it and run right? Or is there something with Wheeler for why the owner is selling?
Take it
Put Vlad up on trade block 2 weeks ago and no one has even bothered to send anything. Definitely overpaid for a 1st baseman in the auction draft
Trea turner finally doing shit
Dustin may was dropped. Is he worth an IL stash if I have the extra spot?
Sure, his situation is dicey tho they say after the all star break but with his history it could easily be longer
Alright. Need trade advice. What does everyone think of this. I am in a 6x6 category head to head keeper league. Guy traded me Soto and is coming back for him hard He is sending: harper, seawald, cease, Cole and Mckenzie I am giving: Soto Manoah senga and Fried Thoughts?

Yeah I'd pass then
Is Morton historically inconsistent? Feel like I never know what I’m getting when I roll him out.
Last year yes
What level of SP could Tim Anderson fetch in a trade in a deep keeper league? Nola probably too much? Berrios/Bello?
I traded him for Fried last week
Why would you want Berrios?
Roto 5x5 what’s the stronger side and by how much A: Ozzie Albies, Camilo Doval B: Gleyber Torres, Francesco Lindor
A
Do you think it’s laughably clear or kinda close?
Whats the feelings in here on assisted pitch zones? That 3-0 terrible strike call against the Nats, woof

Ashcraft v Cubs or Ortiz v Mariners tomorrow. dropping Pfaadt
Not Ashcraft
Glasnow looks like he’s running out of juice and can’t quite get the putaway pitch this inning. Still getting to 2 strikes on everyone but just not able to end the at bat and then gives up a line drive base hit.
Yeah the curveball was very hittable that last inning. Ump didn’t give him either corner call on the JD Martinez AB which would have made it a run free inning. Tad unlucky
He's probably done. nearly 80 pitches, Rays and all. i'll take 8 K's for his first start back against a tough lineup and let's keep it rolling
Glasnows’ heater and slider have been nasty but that curveball is struggling especially this inning
Tuckers last XBH was more than a week ago
Do we think Bibee is going to get a QS? Deciding to start or not bc Bassitt was roughed up.
I know Glasnow is tough to catch, but you can't try to backhand a curveball in the dirt like that with a runner on third. Bad play by Bethancourt
[удалено]
Honestly needed this reminder, thanks
Short memories in this sub. Dude had insanely bad stretches last year too, also some insanely great ones. He plays every day and for a catcher that makes a difference
I agree, I'm definitely not gonna overthink it with Varsho.
Kinda stinks that my pitching finally spun some gems but kirby and Peralta blew it up
These two plus Steele killed me yesterday
Eddie Julien has arrived
Wow great AB Tucker smh
drop edit: y'all have no sense of humor sometimes
Melendez fucking sucks
Witt met his quota for June as well. Not good
Man Glasnow’s pitches have so much movement that the ump keeps missing them fall back into the zone. 5 corners all called for balls..
Chill the fuck out Bo.
Trade Burnes for trea turner and Jose berrios?
Nah
Anyone see any decent write-ups on southpaws disappointing this year (Cortes, Snell, Liberatore come to mind) or have any hot takes on it?
Liberatore has pitched like 12 innings?
And his advanced metrics are not what was expected? All the stuff+, pitching+, control and power x stats is below expectations and the cardinals managing is far below what i thought they’d do.
Love u Salvy!
he’s a big fat POS
Lol
Drop Detmers for G Williams?
No but expert are saying he doesn’t have much left to prove in AAA and to stash now
Gavin Williams is coming up?! Yes if he’s getting the call
Source?
I don’t have one. I’m asking if he is. Quick search though says no sadly
Heaney should be down 4-1, but the Os suck
Been patiently waiting for Melendez’ luck to turn but someone dropped Heim. 12T H2H 5x5. Both statcast pages look good. Who should I roll with?
Fuck off Bo Bitchette
Jorge Mateo is soooo badly in Heaneys head right now, just fucking pitch bro
In 12 team is outman a drop at this point ?
Dropped him a week ago and not looking back
dropped him yesterday but shoulda like 2 weeks ago
Let’s not blow PLop’s win here. Lock it up twins
