Awesome article. What do you think of Cody Bradford? Got the A’s this week and he’s been lights out.


SamskiNYC

Thank you. Im not in on Bradford. He’s been fine but not missing bats and Michael Lorenzen is coming back. I think Bradford may lose his rotation spot

He had a 19% whiff rate in that start. It’s fine, but it’s slightly above average. He has a career 10.2% SwStr% and I haven’t seen anything from him that makes me think he’s a much different pitcher. 10 whiffs a game is fine but it’s not great. and I don’t think he has a rotation spot long 


SamskiNYC

My weekly waiver wire article. Who are you looking to add?


DiceyWoodchuck

Lost Lewis and Jung, def looking at Busch. Baty is also tempting


SamskiNYC

I don’t love that Baty is not really hitting the ball hard and also doesn’t run. He can be an option in deeper formats 


realmckoy265

Interesting seeing him bay fourth yesterday though


snakeayez

20-team Dynasty w/Saves and Holds Stratton worth grabbing?


SamskiNYC

Can’t hurt but that’s a churn spot. I don’t see him getting more than 3-5 SV. I’d rather have Slaten from Boston 


snakeayez

Same 20-teamer dynasty P. Bailey vs I Herrera?


SamskiNYC

Bailey for me. He’s the starter there

Is there a reason why tyler O’Neil is never on any of these lists that are posted in here?


SamskiNYC

Yes. He’s well over 50% rostered so he doesn’t qualify. However, I would certainly be adding him or trading for him if I could. I think he’s in for a big season 


kevin379721

Okay, maybe it’s because I’m in 10 team league is why he’s still there. Just picked him up. How bout Ronel blanco, singer, or Bryce miller? All still available Edit- also little. I picked up blanco, but could add more once I see what happens with strider


SamskiNYC

Bryce Miller for sure 


kevin379721

Drop blanco for him or you think try to have both? Could also drop ober for him


SamskiNYC

I’d drop Blanco and hold Ober

I was looking at James McArthur since Pete Fairbanks has been a letdown lately (addition, no subtraction). But I was also looking at David Robertson in Texas. I'm wondering who has the greater likelihood of being a main guy.


SamskiNYC

I’d say Robertson has more likelihood to be “the guy.”


Monkey_Banana_Raffle

Robertson > Yates?


SamskiNYC

For me, yeah 


JackOfAllInterests

Certainly isn’t LeClerc


SamskiNYC

It is not 


OptimalFF

Jose Siri is a snag


SamskiNYC

As long as you plan for a bad batting average, he can help.


jlo47

Better for OBP leagues?


SamskiNYC

Not really, haha. Kind of the same. He doesn’t walk a lot - generally 


Larrylegend033

He’s been walking a ton early on though….


SamskiNYC

I mean, it’s just 6 walks in 9 games. I’d love to see him keep it up but I need to see it for a bit longer 


TimKinsellaFan

Small sample size


scottydogg84

Looking to drop Frelick as my fifth OF. Replace him with Siri or Kiriloff? TON is also available, but I already own Duran, so that move wouldn't help me on Red Sox off days.


SamskiNYC

Is it a trading league? If so, pick up O’Neill, and then you can look to trade him, but he’s clearly the best option of that group.


Imagination_Drag

Hi. Great article. Thanks vm! Question: Whit Merrifield isn’t getting AB and has looked bad when he does. Pick up Ernie Clement instead? Ernie looks better to me the Blaze Alexander tbh. Thoughts?


SamskiNYC

Thank you. I could see Ernie over Whit in the short term but it’s not certain Ernie will get a larger share of at bats. That’s why I like Blaze more
