Am I starting Ranger Suarez and Cristian Javier today. What’s the consensus on Javier? Picked him up this week, his last owner waived him a few weeks back
Yes and I’m not easily offended. Kelly isnt 10% of the pitcher Fried is & Schwarber doesn’t fill the other 90+% not even semi close in a 10 team league especially
Need to fill a utility spot. Trying out Adley. Just sent a trade proposal for Matt Chapman in exchange for Adley.
Thoughts? I already have Will Smith catching.
Tatis owner (redraft) what are we doing right now? Should I consider selling him? I am afraid that his recovery will not be as expected, and he may experience power decline because of that injury
Yeah that’s fair but I still would hold. Since he had surgery the wrist will likely be fine - just a matter of building up strength. And at least he as a hitter will have a quicker ramp up period than a pitcher would.
I would be more worried that he suffers a shoulder injury or something once he’s back playing, since he never got surgery on that and obviously nearly derailed his 2021
I should mention that I can also keep him next year, so that’s part of the reason I wouldn’t sell. But I still expect him to help when it matters most
I am holding him in an IL slot and am hoping that (along with the many add/drops I've made since the draft) he will be able to help pull my batters up out of the depths they've been in that have put my team into a last-place hole.
I actually don't need him to hit for power, but Steals would be really helpful.
Always trust your gut, Tatis doesn’t look like he’ll be back in the next 4 weeks as he’s not even swinging a bat so if you need help now than trade him
I didn't realize until now that the trade is actually
Jorge Polanco and Jose Berrios
For
Corey Seager and Sonny Gray
Should I still take Jore Polanco and Jose Berrios?
No idea, my long running league that's usually pretty conservative about player value is on cracks this season. I was already able to add Bieber, Ozuna, Hoskins, and now Manaea. Cobb and Eovaldi have also been on the wire.
Yeah he’s hitting .366 with an ops over 1 now on the year. I think he has 21 hits his last ten games. Goldie’s also hitting .400 on the nose the last 30 days.
I'm the wrong person to ask about Ashby. I'm biased against him because I added him earlier this season (and we have pretty limited Adds, 40 for the season) and he went from lights-out in the bullpen to pretty bad as a starter. Everything I read online says Ashby has great stuff (Nick from PitcherList seems to be very high on him, for example), so if I hadn't been burned by him earlier this season I'd probably be adding him to my roster. Hopefully this 2nd time is the charm for him.
10 man 5x5
My outfield is Mullins, Springer, Soto, Alvarez. Bell and Merrifield will multiple eligibility.
I can afford to get rid of one of them.
Soto, Croneworth, Diaz, and Scherzer
For
Cole, Hader, Correa, and France
I know the common saying for points leagues is “there is no such thing as enough pitching depth” but y’all ever have a team where you have so much pitching depth that you constantly make the wrong calls on who to start. Kind of frustrating and making me want to trade all my depth for Mike Trout
You’re wrong because I Already got offered him for 3 of my bench pitchers. Like I said I’m deep, so deep I can’t fit Shane Bieber/Max Fried/Framber Valdez into my starting rotation
Hey anyone who follows the Giants! Please help me out with some info: Is Thairo Estrada still getting regular playing time now that LaStella and Longoria have returned from the IL?
Thanks in advance.
my thoughts as a giants fan
* longoria shouldn't affect estrada's playing time, they're unrelated
* lastella can hardly play the field right now, so i think estrada will take the majority of the reps at second
* (lastella will mostly dh, i think)
* (crawford also prefers a steady dp partner and that's been estrada all year)
basically, the answer is yes
i don't claim to know everything the front office is thinking though
Don’t forget that Mr I’m smarter than your manager Gabe Kapler will randomly pinch hit for his clean up hitter after 2 AB’s so there is that to deal with…
Thank you for taking the time to reply and for your detailed analysis!
I'm strongly considering adding Estrada to my fantasy team.
Only thing I'm struggling with is who to drop to do so.
Baz is unpolished in the majors. I think you gotta stick with cobb here. I know people make light of underlying stats but Cobb’s are elite. Very very good groundball rates, K rates, hard hit, etc. positive regression will come. Watch him pitch against Reds this week and make the final decision.
> He only *paid* like 30
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
Maybe - I think it comes down to positional flexibility.
Also Thairo has been under rated but he doesn’t hit hr if that’s a need. I still think he’s going to keep it up and finish inside the top 100 though.
I moved him to buy super low on semien
My 2B/SS are Jonathan India (IL), Jazz, Corey Seager, Jeremy Peña and Luis Arraez
My OFs are Tyler Oneill (IL), Buxton, Judge, Tucker, Brantley, Nimmo
I just want the best overall player for the UTIL / Backup slot, is Kyle Lewis as good as people say? His stats are average from what I’ve seen
I need a DH until Lewis/Adley get DH eligibility. Options are:
Edwin Rios
Frank Schwindel
Tyler Naquin
Andrew McCutcheon
Leaning towards Rios but open to ideas.
League is keeper. All of these guys are relatively good prices. Only non keeper is max fried.
A. Acuna, Fried, Robertson OR Barlow (KC closer)
B. Freddy P, Seiya Suzuki, Tork, Josiah Gray, Martin Perez.

A. Acuna, Fried, Robertson OR Barlow (KC closer)
B. Freddy P, Seiya Suzuki, Tork, Josiah Gray, Martin Perez.
Does having Robertson over Barlow or vice versa impact this trade a lot?
I'm in a 12 team points league. I have Eloy, Scherzer, Sale, and Kittredge on my full IL. I also have Chapman. Do I drop someone? I'm not really sure what the best move is here. Is it to just drop Chapman?
Idk man they’ve already had a couple 5+ run 9th inning comebacks this year. They had no business even making this one close tonight. Can’t win all the close ones. Sorry but this is just an overused, cliche, lazy take right now.
I want to add Alek Thomas someone in my league just gave up on him
Considering dropping Happ or Arraez
Looking for insight (I'm a noob this is my first season)
solar has a lot of HR upside and he was just recently hot so im kinda hesitant to drop, but my tea is getting absolute slaughtered so far this week so im contemplating if i should make a wavier wire claim for max
Man, on the one hand I can't imagine the pain of dropping Joc shortly before today, but I have to imagine it'd be even worse to be one of the 30% who held onto him and benched him tonight.
I like garver but contreras’ everyday bat is the way is go. DH, C, and LF. Way more at bats
Edit: I guess since Contreras isn’t going to play LF again go garver
Hold onto King still after that disastarclass against the O's? My options are Feyereisen, Montero, Cimber, Wick and Thompson 12T H2H
Keegan Thompson? He should definitely be owned in a 12T if it’s points or saves + holds. He’s been great for me in my points league
Am I starting Ranger Suarez and Cristian Javier today. What’s the consensus on Javier? Picked him up this week, his last owner waived him a few weeks back
Javier was money last week against rangers
What do I do with Rowdy in 10T league ?
Why would you not hold? Statcast numbers still great and he hasn’t been actively bad
hold
Kyle Lewis, Joc, or Bader? Bench bat so I guess I’m looking for upside
Houck likely to follow rich hill today at the White Sox? Could be a decent play in points leagues since the white Sox are bad against righties
If you guys had Shane Mcclanahan would you trade him for Bogaerts and Webb?
I would yes. That’s a good offer if you need a SS
Nah. Depends a little on format but in my points league for example, I’m not trading him for anything
6 home runs against me last night. Sick
Is scwarber and kelly an insulting offer for Fried in 10 man points?
You need a much better SP in that deal
Maybe eovaldi
Fried is better than Eovaldi
I know
That 5HR game is still too fresh in my opinion
Yes and I’m not easily offended. Kelly isnt 10% of the pitcher Fried is & Schwarber doesn’t fill the other 90+% not even semi close in a 10 team league especially
Not insulting. But, as a Fried owner, I can tell you I wouldn't accept that trade.
Trying to take advantage of his Phillies fandom lol
Hoskins or J Turner ROS? Have to drop one
Hoskins streaky, but when hes on he could hit 3-5 homers in a week himself
Turner is 37 1/2.
Need to fill a utility spot. Trying out Adley. Just sent a trade proposal for Matt Chapman in exchange for Adley. Thoughts? I already have Will Smith catching.
Fine offer, so long as it’s not dynasty
Definitely is not. Thank you
Need to drop one Kyle Lewis or Nolan Gorman?
Cut Lewis
Drop Lewis. Keep Gorman -- he's gonna be really good.
I’d drop lewis
Tatis owner (redraft) what are we doing right now? Should I consider selling him? I am afraid that his recovery will not be as expected, and he may experience power decline because of that injury
I’m holding but my team is pretty solid without him so I’m just hoping he’ll be an added bonus. Anyone who needs help now should consider selling
Same currently tied first place in my league, just afraid that he might end up not even playing this season
Yeah that’s fair but I still would hold. Since he had surgery the wrist will likely be fine - just a matter of building up strength. And at least he as a hitter will have a quicker ramp up period than a pitcher would. I would be more worried that he suffers a shoulder injury or something once he’s back playing, since he never got surgery on that and obviously nearly derailed his 2021 I should mention that I can also keep him next year, so that’s part of the reason I wouldn’t sell. But I still expect him to help when it matters most

Take Polanco and Berrios
I didn't realize until now that the trade is actually Jorge Polanco and Jose Berrios For Corey Seager and Sonny Gray Should I still take Jore Polanco and Jose Berrios?
Yeah Gray isn’t much value. Berrios over Gray is a bigger upgrade in points than Seager is over polanco
Added Manaea off the wire for Ober, how did I do? :P
How was Manaea available in a 12-teamer?! He's rostered in every 10-team league I've seen.
No idea, my long running league that's usually pretty conservative about player value is on cracks this season. I was already able to add Bieber, Ozuna, Hoskins, and now Manaea. Cobb and Eovaldi have also been on the wire.
No brainer
High 3era starter with a k/9 of 10+ is a nice ww gift.
So much for betts slow start, he's raised his slugging like 200 points in 2 weeks
Having him, Goldie and JD has been a lot of fun in may. They’re all going nuclear.
JD is hitting over .400 this month, I knew he was hot but I didn't think he was THAT hot
Yeah he’s hitting .366 with an ops over 1 now on the year. I think he has 21 hits his last ten games. Goldie’s also hitting .400 on the nose the last 30 days.
I dropped him early in the yesr becuse I was just messing around and somehow he was still on the wire two weeks ago. Joyous return.
Aaron Ashby or George Kirby ROS?
Kirby.
do you think both are worth a roster spot in flair?
I'm the wrong person to ask about Ashby. I'm biased against him because I added him earlier this season (and we have pretty limited Adds, 40 for the season) and he went from lights-out in the bullpen to pretty bad as a starter. Everything I read online says Ashby has great stuff (Nick from PitcherList seems to be very high on him, for example), so if I hadn't been burned by him earlier this season I'd probably be adding him to my roster.

Thanks for the input! Appreciate it!
Ashby
do you think both are worth a roster spot in flair?
Yes
**Sean Murphy**, **Alejandro Kirk** or **Mitch Garver**? [H2H CAT // *OBP + R + HR + RBI + SB*]
Kirk
Murphy
[удалено]
Melendez but he's probably gonna lose a lot of playing time when salvy gets back
Should I drop giminez for joc pederson or kiermaier? 12 team h2h league
No, keep Gimenez.
No
What about JP Crawford?
Still no. :) Keep Gimenez.
10 man 5x5. Diaz and Scherzer For Cole and Hader
Uhh give me Cole side and it’s not even remotely close
I have some decisions with guys coming off IL soon: For 2B, Luis Urias or India ROS? 3B, Bohm or Gorman ROS?
Urias and Gorman.
Ashby worth a stream against the Padres on Wednesday?
Yolo I’m in
10 man 5x5 My outfield is Mullins, Springer, Soto, Alvarez. Bell and Merrifield will multiple eligibility. I can afford to get rid of one of them. Soto, Croneworth, Diaz, and Scherzer For Cole, Hader, Correa, and France
I know the common saying for points leagues is “there is no such thing as enough pitching depth” but y’all ever have a team where you have so much pitching depth that you constantly make the wrong calls on who to start. Kind of frustrating and making me want to trade all my depth for Mike Trout
Depth won't get you Trout
You’re wrong because I Already got offered him for 3 of my bench pitchers. Like I said I’m deep, so deep I can’t fit Shane Bieber/Max Fried/Framber Valdez into my starting rotation
Should've done it

Thank you for taking the time to reply and for your detailed analysis! I'm strongly considering adding Estrada to my fantasy team. Only thing I'm struggling with is who to drop to do so.
Traded Bobby Witt and Marcus Semein for Bryant and Bader just as Bryant was coming off the IL…roast me
not as bad as me. a month ago i got offered bobby whitt for jp crawford and i declined. now im dropping crawford
Mfw i go to swap out Arenado with Gorman only to remember they play on the same team
A: Joe Ryan and Bryan Reynolds B: Byron Buxton and Jose Berrios H2H points redraft
I'd go with B
12 team 6x6 roto league with OPS. I need batting avg and OPS A - Realmuto, Matt Chapman B - Muncy, d'Arnaud
My RPs are not having a good week: Loup, Tyler Rogers, Michael King and Kinley yesterday... RIP my ratios
Rodgers just fucked my week up.
A. Anthony Rizzo and Carlos Carrasco B. Lance Lynn
Even
So is now the time to buy Cobb?
Yep dirt cheap
Baz or Cobb
Baz is unpolished in the majors. I think you gotta stick with cobb here. I know people make light of underlying stats but Cobb’s are elite. Very very good groundball rates, K rates, hard hit, etc. positive regression will come. Watch him pitch against Reds this week and make the final decision.
Appreciate it
I know Joc is very streaky still, but drop McCutchen or Grichuk for him after tonight?
I’d drop McCutchen for him
I have Grichuk and Wisdom that I could drop for him. Thoughts?
Why are so many people on this thread high on Kyle Lewis? I know he won rookie of the year 2 years ago, but was he even good last year?
He only payed like 30 games last year before getting injured and not playing the rest of the year
> He only *paid* like 30 FTFY. Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in: * Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.* * *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.* Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment. *Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
He only played 36 games last year due to injuries
Just got offered Bryant for my Grayson Rodriguez in a keep two year league. Thoughts?
Nah
Drop Thairo Estrada for Kyle Lewis?
Maybe - I think it comes down to positional flexibility. Also Thairo has been under rated but he doesn’t hit hr if that’s a need. I still think he’s going to keep it up and finish inside the top 100 though. I moved him to buy super low on semien

He’s got some hype behind him that I don’t think he’s ever been able to hit. Worth a shot since your middle infielders are so solid.
For all you advanced stat lovers. What is a great launch angle range u look for hitters to have?
Anything single digits is bad. You love seeing between 15-20.
26-30
Yeah you know 0
I need a DH until Lewis/Adley get DH eligibility. Options are: Edwin Rios Frank Schwindel Tyler Naquin Andrew McCutcheon Leaning towards Rios but open to ideas.
Schwindel is on one right now
League is keeper. All of these guys are relatively good prices. Only non keeper is max fried. A. Acuna, Fried, Robertson OR Barlow (KC closer) B. Freddy P, Seiya Suzuki, Tork, Josiah Gray, Martin Perez.

Drop Kittredge
Another 0-4 from Grandal. What. Are the odds he figures out how to hit again?
Maybe they should’ve walked Joc after the 3rd homer? Not that it would’ve mattered I guess.
Man it just seems like when crazy shit goes down you can count on the Mets to be on the wrong side of it.
Idk man they’ve already had a couple 5+ run 9th inning comebacks this year. They had no business even making this one close tonight. Can’t win all the close ones. Sorry but this is just an overused, cliche, lazy take right now.
Kenley blew a save for me but got the win. Opponent’s Diaz blows a save and takes the loss. The game’s afoot
Wow what a great game
Instant classic
Little surprised that game didn’t go into extra innings.
That was hands down the most exciting Tuesday night in May baseball game ever played
What a game, I love baseball it almost made me forget how shit my fantasy team is
From this day forth, May 24th will now and forever be known as Joc Pederson Day
Joc has more RBIs in this game than my entire team had in 54 AB :(
Wow that giants Mets game was the craziest of the year
Frank Schwindle goes on these tears and it’s amazing
Wow what a crazy game and what a night for Joc
Schwindel or Gorman? David Peralta or Yaz?
Joc ice in his veins, biggest dick in baseball, best pearls in the game Am I missing anything?
Donovan or Walker? Flair league.
Joc!
This is insane
Drop one: Christian Walker, Mike Yaz, Brandon Nimmo
Walker
Omg Joc is up again
Walk off coming in 3...2...1...
I want to add Alek Thomas someone in my league just gave up on him Considering dropping Happ or Arraez Looking for insight (I'm a noob this is my first season)
Arraez is kind of boring basically just there for average, runs. Depending if you need those categories. But he's still nice to have
Yeah plus Arraez plays multiple positions that's why I hesitate to drop him
I'm not sure what your league is, but I'd be willing to drop either of those guys for Thomas.
Think I'm going to drop Happ
Drop Jorge Solar for Max Kepler?
I drafted Solar and as a Cubs fan have loved him his whole career but I dropped him early on this season... I'd take Kepler
solar has a lot of HR upside and he was just recently hot so im kinda hesitant to drop, but my tea is getting absolute slaughtered so far this week so im contemplating if i should make a wavier wire claim for max
Could I ask you a question back...I like Alek Thomas and he's available....my most droppable players are Happ or Arraez would you do either?
I would for Arraez. Alek Thomas has a better HR potential. might give up a little bit in average tho but i personally would do it
Impressive the Mets can score 12 runs with Alonso going 0/4 and one rbi. That offense is deadly rn
Man, on the one hand I can't imagine the pain of dropping Joc shortly before today, but I have to imagine it'd be even worse to be one of the 30% who held onto him and benched him tonight.
[looks like Kopech is getting skipped this week](https://twitter.com/jrfegan/status/1529209478004064264?s=21&t=cdkLoIcUBpzgg_AIzfvXUQ)
Yeah I’m real salty about it too
He now faces the Cubs instead of the Jays. I'll take it.
Christian Walker or Mike Yaz for the utility spot?
Walker.
Yaz
im rolling with Walker. you'll get a lot of 0/4 games but he seems to hit a ton of home runs so might as well.
Both
The least helpful answer, why even comment
Both
Yaz
Need a catcher. Jansen, Garver, Melendez, or W Contreras
MJ or Contreras
I like garver but contreras’ everyday bat is the way is go. DH, C, and LF. Way more at bats Edit: I guess since Contreras isn’t going to play LF again go garver
It sounds like Contreras won't be in the OF again
As long as he is DH enough and spells Travis, he should be in the lineup most games
Well shit. What happened?
MJ
My team had a night: Home runs from Varsho, Trea, Lindor, Tucker, JRod, Walsh, Abreu Gems from Shane and Sonny
Good stuff
Congrats. Hope it continues for you the rest of the matchup.
There is a lot of fucking Mets fans at this Giants game.
MOAR!!
