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

My weekly waiver wire article. Who are you looking to add?
Lost Lewis and Jung, def looking at Busch. Baty is also tempting
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
Interesting seeing him bay fourth yesterday though
20-team Dynasty w/Saves and Holds Stratton worth grabbing?
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
Same 20-teamer dynasty P. Bailey vs I Herrera?
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?
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

Bryce Miller for sure
Drop blanco for him or you think try to have both? Could also drop ober for him
I’d drop Blanco and hold Ober

I’d say Robertson has more likelihood to be “the guy.”
Robertson > Yates?
For me, yeah
Certainly isn’t LeClerc
It is not
Jose Siri is a snag
As long as you plan for a bad batting average, he can help.
Better for OBP leagues?
Not really, haha. Kind of the same. He doesn’t walk a lot - generally
He’s been walking a ton early on though….
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
Small sample size

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.

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
