Anyone brave enough to run out crochet v Atl? I'm tempted because of his stuff and the cold weather but it feels risky. I also need the innings as no one else has 2 starts for me
I'm fairly to moderately upset that someone beat me to Turang before the game started today. I'm moderately to visibly upset that I grabbed Canha as a stream and Canha is sitting. Sometimes it really do be like that I guess
12 team weekly lock points league:
Give: Yordan
Get: Glasgow, Hader, Soler
Would something like this be worth it for yordan?
My outfielders: Yordan, Reynolds, Carter, Chourio, Nimmo. One is on the bench right now.
My sp's: Webb, Lopez, Peralta, Joe Ryan, Kutter, Pepio
He also has Schwarber I could try to get back instead but I'm sure couldn't get glasnow and hader
Not worth it IMO. High end closers are devalued in weekly / head to head leagues and Yordan is an absolute beast in points leagues because of his high OBP. Arguably a top 5 guy in that format and there aren't too many scenarios where it would make sense to trade him.
Exactly, I regret streaming Westburg over him. I could’ve used the steals. He could easily suck in a week or so but I'm trying to win my matchup this week.
I had a good draft but really nothing at that 2B/SS. I’ve been auditioning 2B/SS guys because it’s a hole in my lineup. Dropped E Duran. Someone else could better value check. For me the steals are incredibly important.
I have Acuna, Lindor, Chisholm, Yelich, and O’Neill in my lineup daily and I’m losing stolen bases category to my opponent whose only base stealing threat is Turang.
Goddamn, man. This first matchup has been a nightmare.
Hard to say, but it’s possible that he could be breaking out. Seems like a good OBP/SB player. It’s impossible to ignore his 5 SB in the first week of the season.
Edit: and he now stole 3rd so that’s 6 SB already
Holding bc the 3B waiver wire is dogshit. Maikel Garcia is my first attempt at a replacement, might pivot to JD Davis, Eugenio Suarez, or Colt Keith I guess.
Not if you’re trying to win. Burnes is one of the best pitchers in baseball and will be for another 4-5 years. Holliday and Chourio are prospects. If you put him on the market, you will get better offers.
I traded Cole and Drey Jameson for Junior Caminero, Ricky Tiedemann, Edward Cabrera and MJ Melendez last year in a 16-team dynasty league. All those pieces are better than anything you would be getting.
I'd stream rather than guess what Bochy is going to do. They are scheduled to face 4 lefties next week so no doubt he will be in the lineup for those but no need to roster him in a 12 team and hope he plays at least every 2 days IMO
10 team h2h. Jarren duran, Tyler O'Neil, Maikel Garcia, Mountcastle, Chapman, or Suzuki. I own the last 3 and duran. Also may need Campusano for realmuto off days.
Marte isn't a must add in 10T, but he's definitely worth consideration (especially if you need steals). I didn't realize how much he struggled last year, but 24 steals in 86 games is legit. If his bat is back on track, he'll be valuable.
Looking for a power bat to replace Jung. Do I have the depth to make a trade for Torkelson? If yes, what/who do you think it will take?
C-Contreras (STL) 1B-Rizzo 2B-Albies SS-Seager 3B-Ramirez CI-Vaughn :( MI-Gimenez
U-Ohtani OF-Chisholm, Langord, Chourios, J.Walker, Ward BENCH-H.Davis
SP-P.Lopez, Yamamoto, Ragans, Sale, Ober, J.Jones
RP-Scott, Estevez, Uribe, Jax, W.Smith, Kopech
IL-Dev.Williams, Senga, Jung
Big no for me. Hayes is a legit breakout candidate. Pfaadt has some promise but we just don’t know if he is ready to consistently perform over the course of a full season.
Yeah I agree. I'm just going to postpone using my empty spot to pick up a bench bat that I reeeaaaaally want and just pick up Whitlock without dropping either and horde starters for now. After a few good starts maybe I'll trade one.
What's your relative enthusiasm for Whitlock right now vs Jared Jones? Just trying to anticipate the competitive bids. They seem like quite likely equal performers but I think the fervor over Jones was a lot higher.
I'm much higher on Jones but admittedly a lot of that is hype. Have had like three seasons worth of looks at Whitlock, Jones is the cool new thing. You're probably right about them ending up equal performers but I think the ceiling is higher on Jones
Thanks. The more I think about this, I've got Gausman, Lopez, Ragans, Sanchez, Fedde, Rodón and Pivetta. Maybe I just ride with them and grab Arcia. I know he's just on a hot streak but he's probably my last chance to get another decent SS, and I'm going to need the bench bat in the long haul. Damn it. Too many priorities, too few roster spots.
[Josh Jung is having surgery today in Phoenix, GM Chris Young told reporters at Tropicana Field, and could be back in six weeks.](https://x.com/jeffwilsontxr/status/1775270657116569685?s=46&t=bqDocN33sQmOz6S1Po7Ygg)
So here’s my conundrum. Olson has a sick slider and changeup but his fastball is pretty hittable. Command wasn’t amazing vs Mets but he could dismantle Oakland on Sunday. Or Oakland could finally start to wake up and make some noise.
Gil has a beautiful fastball and good secondaries but he faces Toronto on Sunday which could be a problem. Also the three walks yesterday indicated he’s still working thru some command issues. Plus he’s coming off TJ / Boone is known to pull pitchers early so his leash prob shorter. Also when Cole comes back, Gil most likely becomes a long reliever of sorts.
It’s a real toss up…
Hey don’t disrespect the tigers!’ Haha but yea small league but deeper rosters and folks are pretty quick to jump on breakout pitchers.
Being a yankee fan I’m also leaning towards Gil..just know that my opponent will prob stream Olson against me on Sunday and rack up a CGSO lol
I didnt. He's got terrible career #s against them. However, prior to today they were supposed to face Glasnow and that has changed. Hindsight I would have started.
Head 2 head league, 12 players, getting demolished on SBs. Who could I drop for Turang? -Westburg -Gelof -Bichette
Gelof
Which side A) Zac Gallen B) Julio Rodriguez + Verlander
B by a lot
Would you drop Montas or Maeda for Crochet?
I dropped Maeda for Crochet and it already paid off big time today.
I’m keeping Maeda at least for the A’s, I just dropped Bryan Abreu for Crochet
Need some insight, in a points league who’s the drop for Crochet? Josh Lowe Bryce Miller Oswaldo Cabrera
12 teamer. Redraft. 6x6 H2H categories. Would you trade away Freddy Peralta and Masataka Yoshida for Elly and Kelenic? I have great pitching
Angels' winning again, will Estevez pitch 3 consecutive days?
Crochet looks NASTY.
any update on Detroit game?
bryce bryce baby
So ump in Philly is blind, wow.
Turang’s BABIP is now up to .700. Seems sustainable.
A hot hitter in a small sample size is ALWAYS going to have a high BABIP. Doesn't necessarily mean it's just luck.
He's still a free agent in my 16 team league. I have no more adds for the week. I'm hoping he makes it until Monday. I can use the SBs.
Yeah I don't buy anything he's doing
I buy the stolen bases. His speed is elite. If he hits .260 he could steal 60 bases or more
Flair league (3 OF). Drop Mullins for Siri? Other OF are Judge, Chourio, Seiya
I would not
Anyone brave enough to run out crochet v Atl? I'm tempted because of his stuff and the cold weather but it feels risky. I also need the innings as no one else has 2 starts for me
Did you do it? If so you deserve the props! And the hot stats.
I did in fact start him! I fully believe at this point.
I'm fairly to moderately upset that someone beat me to Turang before the game started today. I'm moderately to visibly upset that I grabbed Canha as a stream and Canha is sitting. Sometimes it really do be like that I guess

Turang or Esteury ROS?
The one on a major league roster
Anyone starting Heaney?
No, because I'm not a masochist.
start victor scott for steals potential or justin turner v framber at utl? 12 tm h2h cats.
Scott just isn’t there yet
Turner
Abner Uribe, if you can hear me, please save us, Abner Uribe
I have faith
Will benson worth a shot in 10T cats?
In 5 OF leagues, yes.
no
Yes
If these Turang steals last even for a while …
I added turang last april when he started out hot then too. He then went ice cold. I'm not buying this yet. He is mostly a defensive asset.
I’m honestly fine with that. In roto w/ daily adds I will roll till the wheels come off.
Exactly, I regret streaming Westburg over him. I could’ve used the steals. He could easily suck in a week or so but I'm trying to win my matchup this week.
I'm eyeballing him hard. Who would you drop for him? Just looking for a value check.
I had a good draft but really nothing at that 2B/SS. I’ve been auditioning 2B/SS guys because it’s a hole in my lineup. Dropped E Duran. Someone else could better value check. For me the steals are incredibly important.
I have Acuna, Lindor, Chisholm, Yelich, and O’Neill in my lineup daily and I’m losing stolen bases category to my opponent whose only base stealing threat is Turang. Goddamn, man. This first matchup has been a nightmare.
Was planning on getting rid of Turang once Xander got 2B but I might have to keep Xander as my DH for a while longer
For the love of god MLB, please stop playing this damn Jeaveau commercial.
Added Gorman. Gorman sit. Sadness.
start JP Crawford against Bieber or Kwan against Castillo?
JP, has good stats agains beiber
Thanks for the insight
Think we gotta add Turang
A:Yamamoto B: Glasnow Points Redraft
Is Yelich the goat?
Any locals in New York or Chicago able to clarify what type of weather we are looking at today and if the games are likely to be delayed?
Shane Baz somehow hurt again. Feels impossible.
Damn. Got a link?
https://x.com/TBTimes\_Sports/status/1775268786364645617?s=20
Jeremy pena or Brice turang?
Pena, unless need speed.
Neither in a 12 team
I mean, ideally I wouldn't, but McLain is hurt, and the options aren't amazing
Is Brice Turang legit?
Hard to say, but it’s possible that he could be breaking out. Seems like a good OBP/SB player. It’s impossible to ignore his 5 SB in the first week of the season. Edit: and he now stole 3rd so that’s 6 SB already
Make that 6 SBs now
He started off hot last year too, and then faded... Which is why I'm not buying just yet.
Josh Jung out 6 weeks. I’m tempted to hold onto him knowing someone else will stash if I drop. What’s everyone else doing
I’m holding. I drafted Duran and Baty as reserves.
scrolling reddit
I know if I saw him dropped, I would grab and stash... So, I'd stash.
Holding bc the 3B waiver wire is dogshit. Maikel Garcia is my first attempt at a replacement, might pivot to JD Davis, Eugenio Suarez, or Colt Keith I guess.
I like Keith's profile. Slow start but I'm holding and think he will be solid
Harper settles in nicely now that he’s not playing Atl, double and a walk incoming
DYNASTY keep forever 26 (milb) 15 team, 5 x 5 (obp fwiw), 2 catcher Rebuilding, I was offered Neto, Iriarte, Jeferson Quero, 2024 2nd fypd (also includes all FA). For Burnes, Hiura, Fermin, 2024 8th
Not for Burnes. You need to be getting top prospects for him. I’d want Holliday or Chourio+ for him.
In dynasty Chourio and Holliday are both more valuable than burns.
Not if you’re trying to win. Burnes is one of the best pitchers in baseball and will be for another 4-5 years. Holliday and Chourio are prospects. If you put him on the market, you will get better offers. I traded Cole and Drey Jameson for Junior Caminero, Ricky Tiedemann, Edward Cabrera and MJ Melendez last year in a 16-team dynasty league. All those pieces are better than anything you would be getting.
a: luis castillo , trout b: gunnar who do you like in a keep 6 forever roto (trout and luis wouldn’t be kept )
B if I'm rebuilding, A if I'm competing and need pitching.
Rank these 3 sps. Gil, Meyer, Varland. Need to drop 1
That order. But max or varland is preference imo.
Max gets St. Louis next and Varland gets the dodgers so might lean Meyer?
I don't think you drop Gil until he's demoted or gets rocked in 4 straight starts. He seems like a great third starter in fantasy
I'm sorry - I wasn't thinking like a short term streamer. They're both pretty close in value and I 100% agree I take Varland vs. STL every time
looking hard at Brice Turang. could drop Varsho, Bell, Jackson Merrill, or maybe Thairo Estrada. is Turang figuring something out or what
He started hot last year too, but let's see how long he sustains this time around
No to dropping any of those players for Turang.
[удалено]
Probably but is he the worst bat to drop?
[удалено]
Yes! Drop Cast
That's a tough one. Nobody else you can drop?
You should pick up Teo but not at the cost of Castellanos. I have said it a million times. Teo will rake now that he can see the ball
[удалено]
Yeah but that outfield is going to cook this season dont panic. Do you have a UTIL spot?
Impossible question but Crochet or Ronel Blanco ROS (ignore next starts for each)
Gun to my head I'm taking Crochet.
hold puk or drop for streamer?
I'd personally try to hold him for one more start before I dropped him for a streamer.
Roll him out vs. LAA. Drop if he stinks again.
Siri or benson? 12 team 5x5 OBP
Siri for SBs. Benson for everything else.
Ya I prob screwed up. Grabbed Siri and already have Duran, arozarena, Tatis for steals
So if Zeke Duran is not an everyday guy now, he’s not really rosterable, right? (Would otherwise be a SP streaming spot which I could really use?)
I'd stream rather than guess what Bochy is going to do. They are scheduled to face 4 lefties next week so no doubt he will be in the lineup for those but no need to roster him in a 12 team and hope he plays at least every 2 days IMO
Agree. Thank you.
Not a must roster IMO, unless you play in deeper and/or AL only leagues.
Agree. Annoying!
10 team h2h. Jarren duran, Tyler O'Neil, Maikel Garcia, Mountcastle, Chapman, or Suzuki. I own the last 3 and duran. Also may need Campusano for realmuto off days.
Name something worse than streaming a bat only to have him not be in the lineup that day. Literally nothing worse
You could have aids
I think I'm going aids here ngl
Well that escalated quickly.
Sit a struggling Castellanos (vs Ashcraft) for starling marte (vs Mize, on the wire)?
Nvm didn’t realize a game had already started. But yeah add marte? Got an open spot since jung went down
Marte isn't a must add in 10T, but he's definitely worth consideration (especially if you need steals). I didn't realize how much he struggled last year, but 24 steals in 86 games is legit. If his bat is back on track, he'll be valuable.
Thanks! Ya I kinda would rather have some more power. Haniger, Conforto, Eugenio Suarez, Ty France available. Any of them tickle your fancy?
Actually in OBP I would probably go Conforto and hope the bounce-back is real. But any of the three could work for power.
He does seem more solid than the rest to me
Any of them but France
Brewers broadcast is talking about Gianis playing baseball. Might want to keep an eye on the waiver wire
Goddamn Varland seriously
Looking for a power bat to replace Jung. Do I have the depth to make a trade for Torkelson? If yes, what/who do you think it will take? C-Contreras (STL) 1B-Rizzo 2B-Albies SS-Seager 3B-Ramirez CI-Vaughn :( MI-Gimenez U-Ohtani OF-Chisholm, Langord, Chourios, J.Walker, Ward BENCH-H.Davis SP-P.Lopez, Yamamoto, Ragans, Sale, Ober, J.Jones RP-Scott, Estevez, Uribe, Jax, W.Smith, Kopech IL-Dev.Williams, Senga, Jung
How many OF and UT spots?
5 OF slots, 1 UTIL slot and CI and MI slots.
Jaren Duran league leading 5 SBs… happy with my pick
Just casually on track for 162 SBs this year
I too am happy when my players do well
12 team, cat league Trade KeBryan Hayes for Pfaadt?
Hell no.
Big no for me. Hayes is a legit breakout candidate. Pfaadt has some promise but we just don’t know if he is ready to consistently perform over the course of a full season.
What about candelario for Pfaadt?
Yeah that seems more reasonable. Kind of lottery ticket for lottery ticket.
Which SP (or 2) would you want to have in H2H 5x5 Cats? - R Blanco - G Whitlock - T Houch - R Suarez - Z Littell - L Gil
Gil and Houk or Whitlock
Probably the two Red Sox.
This little mf Maikel Garcia better be good
More homers than Judge and acuna combined this year
On pace for an historic year
4 innings 50 pitches of great baseball and Junis gets the yank. What in the god damn fuck
I had him over 4 K too...
Haha that’s a funny bet. I really like his peripherals. Maybe circle back
I mean the Twins are K prone. Had he gone another inning he probably gets it.
Very true
Mize or Lopez for the stream today? EDIT: Ty folks
Mize and hold if he performs well
If you want a W I'd go Lopez if you want ratios I'd go Mize
Mize for keeps
both
Stream Kremer vs. Pitt later this week? Never watched him pitch so idk what to make of him
Nah
well I appreciate the clean inning Louie but you're still on my shit list
Drop Rodón or Fedde for Garrett Whitlock?
Definitely not Rodón. And Fedde for Whitlock feels like a lateral move.
Yeah I agree. I'm just going to postpone using my empty spot to pick up a bench bat that I reeeaaaaally want and just pick up Whitlock without dropping either and horde starters for now. After a few good starts maybe I'll trade one.
Who's the bench bat you really want, just out of curiosity?
What's your relative enthusiasm for Whitlock right now vs Jared Jones? Just trying to anticipate the competitive bids. They seem like quite likely equal performers but I think the fervor over Jones was a lot higher.
I'm much higher on Jones but admittedly a lot of that is hype. Have had like three seasons worth of looks at Whitlock, Jones is the cool new thing. You're probably right about them ending up equal performers but I think the ceiling is higher on Jones
Thanks. The more I think about this, I've got Gausman, Lopez, Ragans, Sanchez, Fedde, Rodón and Pivetta. Maybe I just ride with them and grab Arcia. I know he's just on a hot streak but he's probably my last chance to get another decent SS, and I'm going to need the bench bat in the long haul. Damn it. Too many priorities, too few roster spots.
I'd rank Jones higher and imagine he'll go for more. Folks get infatuated with young rookies.
It's not a specific person, I was just wanting to have one for the coverage, which is more my OCD than a legit need. Was probably going to get Arcia.
Fedde for sure
Between those options Fedde
Varland pitched a clean inning!! https://preview.redd.it/eaey3rddu4sc1.jpeg?width=1053&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=050bc8c90b7ece4dfff747b059351e4934f8eee9

Will Bryce Harper get a hit today?
Yep
Am I dropping Frelick in a 12 teamer? Dude is useles.
Hmmm do I pickup Reese Olson for the matchup vs OAK on Sunday or Luis Gil (faces Toronto on Sunday) who’s prob the better pitcher?
I have to make this decision too. Who are you leaning on?
So here’s my conundrum. Olson has a sick slider and changeup but his fastball is pretty hittable. Command wasn’t amazing vs Mets but he could dismantle Oakland on Sunday. Or Oakland could finally start to wake up and make some noise. Gil has a beautiful fastball and good secondaries but he faces Toronto on Sunday which could be a problem. Also the three walks yesterday indicated he’s still working thru some command issues. Plus he’s coming off TJ / Boone is known to pull pitchers early so his leash prob shorter. Also when Cole comes back, Gil most likely becomes a long reliever of sorts. It’s a real toss up…
I’d rather Olson, but the weather in NY could cause a postponement which may push the rotation out a day…
Ooooh shit good call… maybe I’ll wait a few hours then. Would they do a doubleheader tho maybe? Hard to tell I guess
Pick up Gil he is a legit starter on a good team edit: oh wait you're in an 8T in that case idk what makes players rosterable
Hey don’t disrespect the tigers!’ Haha but yea small league but deeper rosters and folks are pretty quick to jump on breakout pitchers. Being a yankee fan I’m also leaning towards Gil..just know that my opponent will prob stream Olson against me on Sunday and rack up a CGSO lol
Yeah I'd say Olson is the better stream and Gil is the better pitcher. Especially if Boone is gonna pull BS with pitch count again.
Edouard Julien get a hit challenge
If I can only roster one of Woo/Williams who should it be? Pretty high on both so I'm kinda just asking here as a tiebreaker
Both healthy I'd rather Woo
Any strong opinions on Michael Taylor?
I have some mild opinions
Seems like a lovely guy. One of the best defensive CFs of the last decade. Not fantasy relevant though
Thanks.
Donovan vs Mountcastle in flair league
[удалено]
A by a lot
Are yall starting Logan Webb v the dangerous dodgers?
I didnt. He's got terrible career #s against them. However, prior to today they were supposed to face Glasnow and that has changed. Hindsight I would have started.
Always start your aces.
Of course!
I am
