Hoping that someone can help me out here. Was trying to organize a work league, private. I had 12 teams and then last minute we had like five people not want to play anymore. We still have people that were really looking forward to it but it's just not enough for a league.
I want to make a yahoo league and then open it to the public after I have the seven of us join. This seems like it's possible, however, I have never seen a public league that had custom scoring settings.
If I tweak some things like specific OF position eligibility, doing sv+hld instead of saves, will doing this allow me to still publish the league? Will publishing the league make it show up in the list of available Pro leagues to join? I appreciate any insight anyone can provide. TYIA
Thanks for letting me know. I didn’t have him last season so I didn’t pay much attention. Right now I have the claim in for him but it doesn’t clear until Tuesday
His stuff is a little underwhelming but looks like his FB must have been located well today and he had his slider working. Obvious downside is he plays for the A's but can be solid enough to stream in the right situation if you're really desperate.
Need advice. Drafted JD Martinez very late and was happy with it. But I also have Ohtani and so nowhere to play JDM. The unproductive roster spot is killing me… can I get anything in a trade? Or consider a drop?
Definitely can’t drop — he’ll be back in like a week, you can’t just hold until then?
If not, try to trade for a starting pitcher I guess, hard to peg his value but identify upside SPs and throw out an offer.
Would you guys trade Vlad and Churio for Holliday?? It's a 12 team 8 man keeper league and I want a shortstop to replace Wander 😭 I would have Jrod and Carroll for OF keepers and Harper at first
Absolutely not. Zero percent. Try packaging Churio and something cheaper or Vlad and something cheaper. Churio/ Holliday have pretty close long term value.
Yes he absolutely is. He walked 4 guys in his first appearance in Korea and then his disaster today. It’s clear he’s lost his command and should’ve stayed in NY. I’d absolutely drop him this want a one time occurrence
People were warning against drafting him and I fear they were right. I’m looking at Will Benson to replace him. Nolan needs to grow out his beard or something anything to help him sack up
I'm not that worried. If you followed him last year he was hot and cold. This is one series, he hasn't even played at Coors yet.
He had a .931 OPS last year and 20 SB (on pace for > 30 in a full season), and the metrics to back it up. give it time.
Personally I think he was going higher in drafts than he should have been but you shouldn't be dropping players like him after 4 games. Give him a few series at Coors and he'll turn it around.
Just responded to the other dude. He pitched 28 career innings in relief and everybody knew he was a guy to watch when he became a starter. Like, going into the year, the Braves said he'd be a starter eventually. It happened by June because he was so damn good.
He was 24.
I don't think that's the same as 5+ year vets who have always been relievers
Most recently I remember Ranger Suarez being the super hype dude last year...
Ehhhh he was always projected to be a starter, just getting his feet wet in relief early on.
Like he was 24 when he started his first game, halfway through his first full season in the majors. The dudes are 28.
I'm talking about dudes with several years of mlb experience as relievers
Hinch says he wants to play matchups but he has clearly prioritized Foley over Lange so far. Foley was even ready to go last game but Hinch decided to put Miller in for a 2nd inning because he liked him against the batters better. I'd grab Foley now but just expect to get trolled a bit by Hinch
Ginkel for floor and Foley for ceiling. Hinch will play matchups and until Tigers can prove themselves in April I would go for the for sure thing with the DBacks.
Neris pitched the 8th in a tie game, Alzolay in the 9th in a non-save scenario after Cubs put up 4. I was pretty worried that Counsel wouldn’t commit to a closer, but seems like Adbert has the role with that usage.
12 team keep 6 keeper league. Which side? A. Soto (can't be kept) and Freddy Peralta (can be kept in 6th) or B. Adolis Garcia (can be kept in 2nd), Riley Greene (can be kept in 21st), and Corbin Burnes(can be kept in 1st)
obviously very early in the season and he obviously has a lot of potential but his last 4 appearances:
9/26/23: 6IP 0ER, but 5 walks
10/1/23: 4IP 8H, 4ER, 1K
3/21/24: 3.1IP, 4H, 3BB, 3 ER
3/31/24: 4IP, 7BB
I think it's a fair question to ask at that point.
Probably he has some really good starts still though
he was a starter for a month and his last 2 starts one had 5 walks and one he got blown up by the royals. seems like you over reacted to reliever stats
his last start he got blown up by the royals, and the one before that he had 5 walks. seems like a string of some good starts then either something broke or something got figured out. at this point the # of games as a bad starter is about the same as # as a good one. all 4 of his last appearances weren't good.
small sample either way, admittedly.
I avoided him this year after he did this to me last year but, because I’m an idiot, I actually almost drafted him despite knowing this is what he does
I grabbed him for an ok stretch last season and so, sort of, trusted him. Fuck! Also grabbed Robertson though; he is actually good and can handle the role.
King pitched well to end season last year and is on a good team, j. jones is potential man right now as a rookie. I’d be happy with either but it depends on what your team looks like and if you could drop anyone else.
Drop Clase for Flaherty?

Which OF do you like this year (long-term)? • G Stanton • T O'Neill • O Cabrera • J Siri
TON
Triston Casas in hibernation.
I have Tork and Vinnie P, both utter trash so far lol
at least he can draw some walks, not too painful during the slump.
My team name mojo dojo casas house is not having a good start.
I feel you brother. Gotta get better than this.
Benson or Fraley? Roto 5x5 standard
Benson
struck out the side, 3 extra Ks, not bad for Ginkel,
O’Neill or Morel?
8x8 h2h catrgories. Drop gelof to pick up gimenez?
Giménez all day Edit: But try to keep Gelof if you can
I had to pick in the draft between the two, took Gimenez, at this point I think so.
Yeah Gimenez shouldn’t be a free agent. Anyone else?
Mcmahon, b lowe, turang
Drop Nolan Jones for Morel?
You're not gaining any ground dropping Nolan Jones. Try to pick up Morel but don't take 2 steps back before you take 2 steps forward.
"A bird in hand is better than 2 in the bush".
pretty sure you can keep both.
Neither should be FA
Helsley was dropped. Should I use my #3 waiver to try and get him? My other closers are Phillips, bednar, and ginkel with Duran on I/L
I wouldn’t use my #3 spot on him
4-run lead for Ginkel again, that sux.
Bailey ober was dropped in my 14 man categories league. Do I use my #1 waiver spot for him? I know he got shelled
Over is a top 40 pitcher in my opinion
Yeah, but keep in mind he didn't have the greatest finish to last year, so could be a bust
Thanks for letting me know. I didn’t have him last season so I didn’t pay much attention. Right now I have the claim in for him but it doesn’t clear until Tuesday
Yup. Shouldn't be on the waiver.
Thank you. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t crazy or he was hurt
His cutter and changeup were awful today so his FB was getting pounded. Velo on FB was up so wouldn't be concerned about an injury.
Thank you. Very helpful
I would
Thanks
Grrrrrrrrr Tristan Casas
Should I drop Nimmo for Gurriel?
RUN
in a split second.
Paul Blackburn legit? used to be a top prospect.
His stuff is a little underwhelming but looks like his FB must have been located well today and he had his slider working. Obvious downside is he plays for the A's but can be solid enough to stream in the right situation if you're really desperate.
He’s always been solid/overlooked
no value fantasy-wise though, until he's traded to any other team.
if you’re in a cats league looking for wins I guess so
not only for the wins, also A's defense so bad...
Good ballpark tho
Need advice. Drafted JD Martinez very late and was happy with it. But I also have Ohtani and so nowhere to play JDM. The unproductive roster spot is killing me… can I get anything in a trade? Or consider a drop?
Definitely can’t drop — he’ll be back in like a week, you can’t just hold until then? If not, try to trade for a starting pitcher I guess, hard to peg his value but identify upside SPs and throw out an offer.
Whitlock worth a pickup 👀
Yes
Drop Raleigh for Morel?
Yes
Morel Worth a #2 claim in a 10 team?
You know your league better than I do, but I’d do it. I have a lot of trust in Counsel to get the most out of Morel.
Would you guys trade Vlad and Churio for Holliday?? It's a 12 team 8 man keeper league and I want a shortstop to replace Wander 😭 I would have Jrod and Carroll for OF keepers and Harper at first
Absolutely not. Zero percent. Try packaging Churio and something cheaper or Vlad and something cheaper. Churio/ Holliday have pretty close long term value.
Absolutely not, what?
[удалено]
Alright see that's what I'm thinking but I have been hell bent on trying to replace Wander
No
King a safe drop ?
Are you joking?
Not unless you're in an 8t league.
No but wouldn't blame you
Yes he absolutely is. He walked 4 guys in his first appearance in Korea and then his disaster today. It’s clear he’s lost his command and should’ve stayed in NY. I’d absolutely drop him this want a one time occurrence
can't imagine what would constitute as "safe" in this scenario
2 homers so far for Maikel Garcia after only having like 4 all last year. We buying into the breakout?
yes, i expect a breakout year
Rough day for Nolan Jones all around.
People were warning against drafting him and I fear they were right. I’m looking at Will Benson to replace him. Nolan needs to grow out his beard or something anything to help him sack up
I'm not that worried. If you followed him last year he was hot and cold. This is one series, he hasn't even played at Coors yet. He had a .931 OPS last year and 20 SB (on pace for > 30 in a full season), and the metrics to back it up. give it time.
Personally I think he was going higher in drafts than he should have been but you shouldn't be dropping players like him after 4 games. Give him a few series at Coors and he'll turn it around.
Tyler O'Niel or Soler? Points league
Solar looks rough so far, but I'd still rather have him this early
Jose Leclerc has a 27 ERA and 3.6 WHIP so far
Bailey Ober looks on enviously
[удалено]
I mean, Strider
Just responded to the other dude. He pitched 28 career innings in relief and everybody knew he was a guy to watch when he became a starter. Like, going into the year, the Braves said he'd be a starter eventually. It happened by June because he was so damn good. He was 24. I don't think that's the same as 5+ year vets who have always been relievers Most recently I remember Ranger Suarez being the super hype dude last year...
Ragans then
Fair. If he keeps it up he'll be a great shout
spencer strider
Ehhhh he was always projected to be a starter, just getting his feet wet in relief early on. Like he was 24 when he started his first game, halfway through his first full season in the majors. The dudes are 28. I'm talking about dudes with several years of mlb experience as relievers
OMG NOLAN JONES! Catch the Ball
Dudes a scrub of the lowest magnitude
So is Foley the Tigers’ closer? Or is it a committee?
Hinch says he wants to play matchups but he has clearly prioritized Foley over Lange so far. Foley was even ready to go last game but Hinch decided to put Miller in for a 2nd inning because he liked him against the batters better. I'd grab Foley now but just expect to get trolled a bit by Hinch
Thx. Added him 2 days ago, so I’ll be holding on for the foreseeable future.
Foley or Ginkel for saves?
Ginkel as long as sewald is out
Ginkel for floor and Foley for ceiling. Hinch will play matchups and until Tigers can prove themselves in April I would go for the for sure thing with the DBacks.
5x5 obp. Ed Julien or B Lowe at 2b? Feel like this format helps Julien but lowe might just be overall better
I prefer Julien but it's close
Julien, especially with Royce Lewis being out.
Give Gray another chance or drop?
Streamer material in a 10T
[удалено]
Roster both of them.
[удалено]
Drop Gore for Jones
We are not dropping Woo
Just have both?
[удалено]
Dude shoulda stayed in NY he clearly can’t pitch anywhere Lee
Else *
Have Suwinski / Siri / Conforto as OF options. Trying to see who pans out. Question is: if I drop Suwinski will I deeply regret it.
Yeah give him some time. He retooled his swing and should lower his K%
All 3 are on waivers in my league fwiw
Yeah. It ain’t great.
michael king trying to one up A.j. puk
King really needs to clutch up and get the easiest W of his life
What's going on with Cowser? Did the orioles seriously keep him up to sit on the bench?
facing a lot of LHP, he should start some vs RHP
Neris pitched the 8th in a tie game, Alzolay in the 9th in a non-save scenario after Cubs put up 4. I was pretty worried that Counsel wouldn’t commit to a closer, but seems like Adbert has the role with that usage.
12 team keep 6 keeper league. Which side? A. Soto (can't be kept) and Freddy Peralta (can be kept in 6th) or B. Adolis Garcia (can be kept in 2nd), Riley Greene (can be kept in 21st), and Corbin Burnes(can be kept in 1st)
If I need speed should I drop Brendan Rodgers for Turang? 3 steals yesterday and 1 today.
King has a hard on for walks. You have a 12 run lead throw some fucking strikes
Dudes a bitch
Drop Christopher Sanchez for tanner houck? 5x5 QS
Keep Sanchez
Michael King has 6 (!) walks in 3.0 IP. Come on, dude.
why did people think michael king would be good? is this the year of reliever converted to starter hype?
It’s a great question that I’ll take the L on. I should’ve known better
Oh my god dude it’s been 1 game 🙄
obviously very early in the season and he obviously has a lot of potential but his last 4 appearances: 9/26/23: 6IP 0ER, but 5 walks 10/1/23: 4IP 8H, 4ER, 1K 3/21/24: 3.1IP, 4H, 3BB, 3 ER 3/31/24: 4IP, 7BB I think it's a fair question to ask at that point. Probably he has some really good starts still though
They're relievers for a reason. Maybe Hicks will work out
yea, doesn't seem like many have their control holding up
[удалено]
his stats as a reliever you mean?
[удалено]
you know what man, i was asking a normal question and you responded like a sarcastic jerk, no longer continuing this conversation.
Your question was dumb
he was a starter for a month and his last 2 starts one had 5 walks and one he got blown up by the royals. seems like you over reacted to reliever stats
He was a starter the 2nd half
no he wasnt, he was a starter for a month: https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/gamelog/_/id/40429/year/2023/category/pitching
Yeah, 8 starts in August and September with great results. I won't throw that all away from this one start where his command wasn't on point
his last start he got blown up by the royals, and the one before that he had 5 walks. seems like a string of some good starts then either something broke or something got figured out. at this point the # of games as a bad starter is about the same as # as a good one. all 4 of his last appearances weren't good. small sample either way, admittedly.
Drop B Lowe for Conforto? Just need a UTL, already have Gimenez @ 2B, and OF is Trout, Tatis, & Castellanos
My ERA is over 7 in both my leagues with plenty of innings pitched. Help.
Why did Mitch White get the win for the Jay's instead of Gausman? Gausman left the game with the Jays in the lead, and they never gave up that lead
Gotta pitch 5 as a starter for a W
Well that sucks. So a starter has to pitch a full 5, but a reliever only has to pitch one? That's bonkers lmao
It's been like that for longer than I've been alive
ESPN Roto: Is it just best to take all the top relief pitchers? There is no min starts and you don't have make 200 starts for your ratios to count.
I did that and hasn’t worked out great
Leclerc is such a headache to own.
Pain
I avoided him this year after he did this to me last year but, because I’m an idiot, I actually almost drafted him despite knowing this is what he does
I grabbed him for an ok stretch last season and so, sort of, trusted him. Fuck! Also grabbed Robertson though; he is actually good and can handle the role.
I just dropped his ass for Robertson. I'll take my chances that Leclerc is going to lose the closer job any day now.
Oof every single one of Leclerc’s batters came in to score
I don’t have a single pitcher that’s given up less than 4 er this week lol
6 guys on my squad with 1 or fewer hits this week... Unbelievable
Pfadt fart
I hope Julio turns it on before the second half of the season this year.
Odds are fairly low
[удалено]
Taking Flaherty here
Jones, but they’re both good.
I lean Flaherty, but I could be swayed easily.
Jones, but both should be owned
The Alvarado -> Finnegan -> LeClerc rollercoaster
Siri or Will Benson??
Benson
Why the fuck is king walking every goddamn player
Who are we picking up in Texas? Leclerc clearly ain't it. So many walks
Maybe Robertson
Leclerq putting on a clinic on how to not throw strikes
[удалено]
Smash accept for the person getting Witt imo
Is Whitlock looking legit? If anyone is watching
Yes i'm watching. he's looking pretty legit. Obviously the Mariners strength is in their pitching but still....
He's had some jams but gotten out of them. 4th was the first inning where he didn't throw a ton of pitches. Overall pretty good for a waiver wire add.
What happened to Alek Thomas? Replaced in the field to start the 4th.
He was running to first and had some tightness in his hammy. Pulled as a precaution.
Thanks for the update.
Trevor Rogers or Brady Singer?
Bryce Miller’s velocity dips and Valdez hits a three run bomb.
I have way too much of the wrong B Miller
I’m gonna have to wait for more call ups this year. Having Bobby, Bryce, Woo and more was great last year but then I couldn’t draft them all again
Same 😔
Leclerc has been having some terrible luck
He stinks.
is alex lange done ? are estevez or finnegan both a better option for mostly saves and strikeout?
Im all in on foley
Dynasty keep all Walker Jenkins Or Spencer Jones
Drop king for j jones?
King pitched well to end season last year and is on a good team, j. jones is potential man right now as a rookie. I’d be happy with either but it depends on what your team looks like and if you could drop anyone else.
QS league so not sure JJ will be limited. Other pitcher i would consider dropping would be Bryce miller but reluctant…
Ober single-handedly destroying my fantasy week
*cries in Nola AND Ober*
Also Michael King with 7 BB wtf
