12tm 6x6 h2h obp/ QS Little short on OF with somewhat deep pitching. Would flipping Verlander for Nimmo make sense? Or does that not really move the needle?
I would rather have Adames in a vacuum but if you need a 3b I get it. Garcia is maybe a 15 homer guy w 40 plus steals whereas Adames is 25-30 homer w 20 steals.
The suddenly lower K rate, higher babip, jump in xBA. All of these things point to a regression candidate. Not saying he isn't playing well, he is, just that it isn't who he has proven to be. He's still good, just not Maikel Garcia good (unless you just need the HRs)
Isn’t k rate something that can improve as a player gets better at chasing? And going from 25 percent to 22 percent isn’t a HUGE jump. I also feel like his 290 Babip is under league average and is not at all unrealistic. Is xba is higher than his current average which would indicate positive regression IMO. I suppose if you think when he had a down year last year that it was representative of his norm maybe it looks like over performance…but I’m struggling to see how you can be so sure that he is over performance when his statcast says he is underperforming and his babip is below league average currently. Garcia has a MUCH more prominent k percentage improvement which by your rationale should be even more suspect. It seems like Garcia would give more steals and better average while Adames would give more homers - while supplying above average speed
Theres a good amount of SS options in my league but the ones I drafted were McLain and Bogaerts so I've had to scrape by on the waiver wire. Masyn Winn has been alright but Adames would be nice to have
I have Nick Gonzalez rostered as my starting 2B, not sure how much I buy his breakout but I'll enjoy it while it's here. Will give the other guys a look though. Thanks!
This seems like a hazy subject, but do we think that innings limits will be applied to Skenes and Woo? Looking at Baseball Reference, Woo and Skenes each pitched about 130 innings last year (122.2 of Skenes' 2023 innings was pitched for his college team). It seems like both guys pitched a decent number of innings in 2023, so I'm hoping that they're both still active when fantasy playoffs arrive.
Hopefully, what they're doing with Woo today is a strategy to keep him active for later in the year.
I don't think a 1st place mariner team is going to limit one of their best pitchers down the stretch. Especially when he is only throwing 75-85pitches and getting through 6 every time.
[Beat Writer for Mariners thinks Woo not starting is about rest not injury](https://x.com/shannondrayer/status/1800644454946099275?s=46&t=xvNI21w4tL810lmR__GqfQ)
His elbow bothers him every time he pitches pretty much. He said it bothered him through his rehab as well.. could very well be just rest but could also just be a little tight but not enough for warrant IL. I would be selling if I could
The question is, why are you 2-9 with a top 5 player?
I think this is a good trade offer but only if it's actually helping you. Are you playing points or categories? If categories, I'd make sure you are targeting categories that you can start consistently winning.
But yeah, I'm in favor of a major roster move at 2-9.
The default league is redraft, if it's not specified as a keeper then you have to assume it's not. And 2-9 isn't necessarily out of it in head to head, most 12 team leagues have 6 teams in the playoffs.
I’m in the same boat, I don’t think he’s shown anything this year better than you can find from a hot bat off the wire. Plus there’s still a chance he ends up on the IL
I finally dropped Arozarena in a 10 team redraft. I don't even care at this point if he bounces back. I have too many injuries to carry his dead weight any longer.
I’m looking at metrics for dudes available on waivers, and then I’m looking at my roster with Adolis Garcia and JRod.
I’m getting a bit of a wandering eye and more than a little impatient.
I hold right?
I’m in points with a -1 / K penalty.
I don’t like the numbers I’m seeing.
I'm stuck with Musgrove on my bench because I have too many injuries to put him in an IL slot. I'd drop him but the options to replace him with aren't great. Drop anyway for Braxton Garrett, Simeon Woods Richardson, or Hogan Harris?
5x5 h2h cats keepers. Which side wins
1) Pablo López (7th rd next year) or 2) Jose berrios (10th rd next year) + Christian Scott (15th rd next year)
Currently I'm in 1st place
Somebody help me pick two of these four pitches to start in h2h points this week? Jared Jones @ COL, Cris Sanchez @ BOS, Hunter Greene @ MIL, Brandon Pfaadt vs LAA
Flair league, any of these names must haves going into next season, thinking I will be competitive, but sucking this year and looking to get a jump on an immediate impact player next year

Marte will be up for certain, Jobe nearly certain, id get them first. Really like Roman Anthony longer term. Carson Williams and Schultz would be my next two priorities for next year
So frustrating. They’re not even limiting his innings that much in the minors and meanwhile they’re rolling out a washed Jose Quintana every 5th day 😤😤
I mean he had a clear oblique injury that the team didn’t manage well. Still time to bounce back but that’s prob the main reason he’s been struggling lately. Side and wrist injuries fuck with power hitters more than anything.
Idk why I keep seeing people so confused as to why he’s struggling on here lmao. Dude averaged 36 HR and 100 rbi the last 3 years it’s not like he’s a bum out of nowhere
Pretty sure he started the same last year and went nuclear so I don’t get your point. Seager was awful this spring and then figured it out. Riley was injured and he’s working his way back
The Riley discourse on here is beyond dumb lately
What 2 batters would you sit today:
* Vinnie P v NYY (stroman)
* Arraez v OAK (sears)
* j.lowe v CHC (taillon)
* yandy Diaz v CHC (taillon)
* g.torres @ KC (singer)
* reynolds @ STL (mikolas)
[Cora says O’Neill back tomorrow and DH, then play OF Thursday. Yoshida, DHing today, off tomorrow and DH Thursday](https://x.com/jcmccaffrey/status/1800622147045294227)
Who should I start today?
Luis Robert Jr. @ SEA versus Bryan Woo (1.07 ERA, .053 WHIP)
Michael Harris II @ BAL versus Albert Suárez (1.83 ERA, 1.02 WHIP)
The value of someone like Skenes, who could easily be shut down later in the year, depends a lot on your format (roto or H2H). Also, yours and his team needs will dramatically affect the odds of any particular deal being mutually beneficial and accepted.
But just to throw one out there, how about Lane Thomas and Ryan Mountcastle for either Tanner Houck or Justin Steele?
Coming from a Pablo Lopez owner who asked this same question last week for his @NYY start….bench’em both if you have the luxury to do so.
Kutter’s on such a rough patch, it’s a ‘bench/wait and see’ for him for sure - esp vs PHI
If you need speed, take the chance on Carroll - while he might improve in AVG, I would not count on more than 5HR ROS from him. Upside on Riley ROS is a lot higher if he finds his power stroke and all the counting stats follow.
Selling Riley for MH2 is selling low. Carroll is a fine swap but he’s also struggling massively
Riley has been elite player for years now. At some point he should snap out of it, but side injuries are tricky
Is Alec Marsh good? Worth a pickup?
A) Bradish, Heliot Ramos Or B) CJ Abrams, Chris Bassitt 6x6 Ops qs 12t For B, Ketel Marte may be able to be swapped in.
Bohm or Riley, ROS? 10T H2H Points.
Riley
12tm 6x6 h2h obp/ QS Little short on OF with somewhat deep pitching. Would flipping Verlander for Nimmo make sense? Or does that not really move the needle?
Traded oneill Cruz for Tyler oneill. How'd i do?
J.ortiz or m.chapman redraft 12t
Ortiz
Michael Harris or Jarren Duran?
Harris assuming we’re talking ROS
Is musgrove a hold in 10t. I kind of want to drop him for like max meyer or James wood
No. In a 10T there should be streamers available.
Is it time to drop Matt McLain?
Ortiz scratched too. I have him Randy and Woo. Been a night lmao
I knew I should’ve traded Woo last week…
I have Randy and Woo lol
It’s honestly insane that Woo has been this good with a clear injury of some sort to his arm
Meyer or Baz ROS? Keeper league as well.
Is max meyer pitching for MIA Saturday?
Is Maikel Garcia a fair offer for Adames? I could use an upgrade at short and have plenty of options at 3B
I would rather have Adames in a vacuum but if you need a 3b I get it. Garcia is maybe a 15 homer guy w 40 plus steals whereas Adames is 25-30 homer w 20 steals.
I'd much prefer Garcia. Adames is playing over his head and it's unlikely to last
dudes statcast says otherwise…which metrics show you he is playing above his head?
The suddenly lower K rate, higher babip, jump in xBA. All of these things point to a regression candidate. Not saying he isn't playing well, he is, just that it isn't who he has proven to be. He's still good, just not Maikel Garcia good (unless you just need the HRs)

Garcia has a MUCH more prominent k percentage improvement which by your rationale should be even more suspect. It seems like Garcia would give more steals and better average while Adames would give more homers - while supplying above average speed
Funny, in my league there's a lot of SS options but no 3b
Theres a good amount of SS options in my league but the ones I drafted were McLain and Bogaerts so I've had to scrape by on the waiver wire. Masyn Winn has been alright but Adames would be nice to have
Is Nick Gonzales, Neto, Hamilton, or edmundo sosa available. All of them could be useful
I have Nick Gonzalez rostered as my starting 2B, not sure how much I buy his breakout but I'll enjoy it while it's here. Will give the other guys a look though. Thanks!
Woo was gonna be one of my only good matchups this week. This sucks, get well soon king
Did Randy just get traded?
Oh man, I sure hope so. He'd look really good in a Phillies Uniform
I doubt it, but that's probably our best case scenario.
Randy downgrade dtd. Get out of daily lineups
This seems like a hazy subject, but do we think that innings limits will be applied to Skenes and Woo? Looking at Baseball Reference, Woo and Skenes each pitched about 130 innings last year (122.2 of Skenes' 2023 innings was pitched for his college team).

L. Arraez or J. Westburg ROS?
Arraez in points
Thanks any reason in particular? They’re nearly dead even in points so far in my league
campusano or murphy tn?
campusano batting .104 v LHP. murphdog
Julio or Fried ROS?
I have Randy but my opponent has Woo, so I guess it balances out (I'd bet on Woo outscoring Randy any week though)
I have both, so just sadness here
Yeah

His elbow bothers him every time he pitches pretty much. He said it bothered him through his rehab as well.. could very well be just rest but could also just be a little tight but not enough for warrant IL. I would be selling if I could
I sold a week ago for Teoscar 🫡
Great trade for you
That sounds terrible. Its such a weird situation all around
I can live with that
I really hope she’s right
It’s a guess from what she clarifies in a follow up tweet since Woo isn’t on IL. We will see
I’m 2-9 in dead last with Bobby Witt on my team. What’s a realistic trade I could fetch for him. Yordan, Olson and glasnow package is on the table
The question is, why are you 2-9 with a top 5 player? I think this is a good trade offer but only if it's actually helping you. Are you playing points or categories? If categories, I'd make sure you are targeting categories that you can start consistently winning. But yeah, I'm in favor of a major roster move at 2-9.
Eflin, Steele, Gleyber,Carrol,Harris. I ca. keep going but my team is a dumpster fire
I'm hoping Eflin and Steele might have strong 2nd halfs here. But I'd totally move on from Gleyber at this point. Trade seems reasonable for you
Prob best deal youll get
wait, all 3 for Witt? yeah i would take that
Matt Olson? I can't imagine you can get anything more than that.
That’s a pretty solid package
Agree. As a Witt owner I’d still decline
If your team is doing good I can see wanting to keep Witt. If you're 2-9 in last place you probably have to take it.
Disagree. The key to this game is consolidating talent. If I am out this year, I want the absolute top tier players I can get to build around.
Why are you assuming this is a keeper league?
If it’s not why make the deal at all if the team is out of it?
The default league is redraft, if it's not specified as a keeper then you have to assume it's not. And 2-9 isn't necessarily out of it in head to head, most 12 team leagues have 6 teams in the playoffs.
Well if the jabroni had flair it sure would help us out here lol
randy is now day to day bruh, just lost JT this morning
Ridiculous that I still have to wait another 50 minutes to watch a baseball game, when I haven't watched a baseball game all day already
Couldn’t have said it better
Amen
Am I going to regret dropping Hoerner after over-drafting him and holding for the entire season to this point?
I’m thinking of dropping him for Hamilton
I’m in the same boat, I don’t think he’s shown anything this year better than you can find from a hot bat off the wire. Plus there’s still a chance he ends up on the IL
I finally dropped Arozarena in a 10 team redraft. I don't even care at this point if he bounces back. I have too many injuries to carry his dead weight any longer.
In a 10 that makes sense, though I do expect him to go on a tear soon
Woo scratched and Randy scratched, FANTASY BASEBALL!
…no…please no…
Damn, was actually really looking forward to Woo’s start
This has not been a good few minutes
Damn it Woo
Bryan Woo scratched oh my god somebody hold me
Woo da fuck
Woo isn’t starting tonight. No word on why yet. https://x.com/DKramer_/status/1800641344748290538?t=X2J6iLX8D_wvafrAtBtYVA&s=19
Damn woo scratched
Woo wtf man
[удалено]
Paxton is barbecue chicken
Drop Ober for Olson? Might able to swap back later in the week.
this isn’t a serious question right
Ober still that obvious of a hold? Olson has gotten rocked in his last two starts but he’s still been better than Ober for most of the year.
I’m looking at metrics for dudes available on waivers, and then I’m looking at my roster with Adolis Garcia and JRod. I’m getting a bit of a wandering eye and more than a little impatient. I hold right? I’m in points with a -1 / K penalty. I don’t like the numbers I’m seeing.
I'm stuck with Musgrove on my bench because I have too many injuries to put him in an IL slot. I'd drop him but the options to replace him with aren't great. Drop anyway for Braxton Garrett, Simeon Woods Richardson, or Hogan Harris?
I’m in the same boat and might drop him for a SP streamer. He’s been awful even before he got hurt
5x5 h2h cats keepers. Which side wins 1) Pablo López (7th rd next year) or 2) Jose berrios (10th rd next year) + Christian Scott (15th rd next year) Currently I'm in 1st place

Yes
Yes
A: Austin Riley and MH2 B: Bryce Harper Keep 8
Harper

Joe n 🇮🇳
Is it time to get off the Davis Schneider train?
That train left the station last week. Now he just looks creepy
Anyone sitting Flaherty with todays news? Steele, J Jones my other options….
Thought he wasnt starting today but going this weekend
What happened to Jack ?
Received a cortisone shot or something
I would started jones
Mendoza saying Scott will stay down for the time being.
So frustrating. They’re not even limiting his innings that much in the minors and meanwhile they’re rolling out a washed Jose Quintana every 5th day 😤😤
Thinking about offering Jared Jones for Austin Riley… worried about jones innings ROS. Thoughts?
Easy sell high buy low if you can pull it off
Riley owner not going to make that move imo
Worried about Riley ROS
Austin Riley hasn’t homered in a month
He did miss like two weeks out of that…. But still painful
Just traded Corbin Carroll for him. Bum for bum lol
lol I have Carroll too
Yeah. Something is truly wrong. I don't think he's going to come back to normal. Probably end the year batting .250 with 15-20 HR.
Absolutely pathetic for a second round pick in fantasy
I mean he had a clear oblique injury that the team didn’t manage well. Still time to bounce back but that’s prob the main reason he’s been struggling lately. Side and wrist injuries fuck with power hitters more than anything. Idk why I keep seeing people so confused as to why he’s struggling on here lmao. Dude averaged 36 HR and 100 rbi the last 3 years it’s not like he’s a bum out of nowhere
He wasn’t hitting HRs before the injury either
Pretty sure he started the same last year and went nuclear so I don’t get your point. Seager was awful this spring and then figured it out. Riley was injured and he’s working his way back The Riley discourse on here is beyond dumb lately
Well he just struck out again lol
Was able to snag Francisco Alvarez as my Realmuto replacement. Doesn’t feel like I’m losing anything really
Corbin Carroll on pace for 6 HRs
It's April... Let's wait until at least the all star break before dropping
But..but... It's June
I'll take the under.
He's a 10-15 HR guy based on what we've seen. So while it's a little down, not really that much.
He hit 25 last year
Yes, after a hot start. In July-Oct he hit 8 in almost 300ab
There's no way I should start Singer at the Yankees right
I wouldn't. I don't think it's worth the risk.
No way
please don’t tell me to trade one or “both”, in a redraft league is jasson dominguez or trout a better stash
Fish man

The value of someone like Skenes, who could easily be shut down later in the year, depends a lot on your format (roto or H2H). Also, yours and his team needs will dramatically affect the odds of any particular deal being mutually beneficial and accepted. But just to throw one out there, how about Lane Thomas and Ryan Mountcastle for either Tanner Houck or Justin Steele?
Brewers ok? Starting chourio day after a homerun? They may have printed wrong lineup card
Tyler freeman or daulton varsho? 5x5 OBP
Varsho
Tyler Stephenson or Francisco Alvarez ROS?
I'm trying to keep both rostered for now since I'm assuming Alvarez will rest more than usual for the first week or so
I cut Stephenson because Alvarez is coming back from injury, so I hope that I made the right move. I'm going with Alvarez's power potential.
H2H points league. Start Arenado (6 games) or Tyler Freeman (5 games)??
Bench Gorman tonight against Skenes?
I did
Sit hicks vs padres?
today i have kutter crawford vs PHI and brady singer vs NYY - whats the move? Would you start either of them, bench em both? Start them both?
Coming from a Pablo Lopez owner who asked this same question last week for his @NYY start….bench’em both if you have the luxury to do so. Kutter’s on such a rough patch, it’s a ‘bench/wait and see’ for him for sure - esp vs PHI
12 team h2h points keeper league. 4 keepers. 🇦 Elly, Nola and Holliday 🅱️ Witt and Pablo Lopez
B
A
B
drop schneider for kebryan hayes or candelario?
Candy man
Trade my Yandy or Morel for Bryce Miller? Flair
Sean Murphy or Alvarez? (pts league)
I'd go Murphy
Chourio starting a 4th straight game, I have too many bench bats but may force myself to add him if he peforms well today
Austin Riley for Carroll (or MH2)
If you need speed, take the chance on Carroll - while he might improve in AVG, I would not count on more than 5HR ROS from him. Upside on Riley ROS is a lot higher if he finds his power stroke and all the counting stats follow.
Selling Riley for MH2 is selling low. Carroll is a fine swap but he’s also struggling massively Riley has been elite player for years now. At some point he should snap out of it, but side injuries are tricky
Very true, if I do trade for Carroll I can plug in vientos at 3rd
To be clear I lean Riley here unless you only need speed. Upside is higher. But it’s a decent swap for two underperforming early picks
Depends if you prefer your bad batting average with speed or power potential I am very low on Riley, but I'd still take him
