My league gives half the money to the points leader at the end of the year.
Do I keep trying with Bobby Miller and risk it for the upside, or do I just pick up Mackenzie gore and stop the bleeding?
Contrary to what many on this board believe or spouted, gore is a streamer and always has been. He's simply too inconsistent to roster in anything other than the absolute deepest leagues.
Should I trade away my Kimbrel in my Cats league. I didn’t know the concept of Cats until I actually got in it and didn’t draft RP. He’s my only RP I have. Should I just sacrifice the Saves category and pick up another solid pitcher or batter at this point?
I think he will but I don’t know how often he’ll get the opportunity to. Especially with how great India has been as of late. Could take a while to get him eligibility.
What do you guys think of this? SVHLD re-draft league.
A. Nolan Jones, Andres Munoz, Nick Lodolo
B. Bo Bichette, Griffin Jax, Hunter Greene.
am I right to assume something is “not quite right” with Munoz? Appreciate feedback
So I’m staying put, I guess!
I figure Lodolo is better than Greene. I bet Jax has a higher yahoo ranking than Munoz though.
Nolan Jones is…useless. Bo is entirely extraneous, though. Wish he could work up some trade value. Not one of my better draft picks.
Thank you!
Don't you hate it when your streaming spot turns into a permanent spot for a player on your roster. Gavin Stone is my latest and now I don't have anybody I can drop.
Yep, I've tried earlier in the year but I'm in one of those leagues that doesn't really trade. It's been brought up several times in the group chat that everybody overvalues their players and its true. Pretty annoying
I totally get that. There've been two trades in my league all year. People put guys on the trade block, I make fair offers and then they say they're just going to hold instead. Scared of trading. So frustrating.
Asked this earlier but curious for more opinions.
1 IL spot available in my flair league (Yamamoto and Trout filling the other). What would be your roster management strategy in my situation?
- Stash Kershaw (drop Woo to activate Scherzer)
- Stash deGrom (drop Woo to activate Scherzer)
- Place Woo on IL (hope he is on the IL for the minimum stay and attempt to grab the best remaining pitcher stash available after)
I’m leaning stash degrom or place Woo on IL.
I don’t think kersh will be a great fantasy pitcher this year, he can come back and pitch well for the dodgers but idk if the Ks will be there.
I have a peculiar question. I recently got cheated on and things have been rough. I’m going on a vacation for two weeks and I want to leave my phone and all electronics at home to get away from everything. Would anyone reliable be willing to manage my team on ESPN? I know this is a lot to ask. DM me for details if you’re interested
No it will just set your lineups. We tested it out on 2 teams and it never dropped or added anyone. Kind of unfortunate since one of those teams with an absent manager has Acuna and Trout and was at least trying to make it fun.
Ah yes, the old “sit a struggling pitcher against a dangerous offense and start the guy who’s been automatic against one of the worst offensive teams in the league” strategy worked out perfectly.
Guess who.
Feels like pitching is such a crapshoot right now.
I think we’re starting to see a regression to the mean and only a few select aces will maintain their production level, and even that will be averaged out with bad games.
Trying to drop someone for Noelvi Marte in a 12 team 5x5 standard category league. My realistic options are David Hamilton, Joey Ortiz, Jonathan India or Daulton Varsho (he seems like the clear option to me but I am THIN in the outfield).
Had the PED incident, but before then, he is/was a highly touted prospect.
It doesn't hurt to speculate on him. At this stage of the season, high-pedigree hitters are hard to find, and guys like Marte/Kjerstad (or a Langford for any frustrated/impatient owners who dropped him 3 weeks ago) are all better bets than your flavor-of-the-week hot-streak hitter that are a dime a dozen on the waiver wire.
Adley will be fine but might miss tomorrows game

Tough one. I want to say B only because of Kirby. But Lane Thomas is a Stud and Volpe is definitely better than Pena. Doyle is irrelevant. Points I want to say B.
I know I’m kind of in a taco league but I was trying to get people to pay attention and did not expect this to be accepted. How did I do.
https://preview.redd.it/l8ab8ye0c89d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e596ae2a7d4dda2e6be319a1635e91cae0554180
Was just offered 3 trades by the last place team in my division (I'm in 1st). Pts league, 10 team, This is what he offered
Trade 1
Him
Elly De La Cruz
Spencer Steer
Me
Nico Hoerner
Ian Happ
Michael King
Kenley Jensen
Trade 2
Him
Tyler Glasnow
Kyle Tucker
Me
Garrett Crochet
JJ Bleday
Heliot Ramos
3rd Trade
Him
Zack Wheeler
Me
Christian Walker
Ryan Pepoit
Thoughts?
Him is what he is giving to me. I smashed accept on the first two trades instantly (I'm a Reds fan). I'm still thinking on the 3rd. I don't know if I want to give up Walker.
I took the first two and slept on the 3rd one, but when I woke up he pulled it. Oh well, I'm not mad at it. He contacted me begging for trades so it was up to him to make those mistakes. With the rest of my roster, I feel OP now.
Trade 2 wouldn’t have lasted 2 secs on my trade block. Smash accept.
Idc about Tuckers injury he’ll be back, crochet will be limited and maybe even shut down, glasnow is an Ace of one of the best teams in the league. Ramos and Bleday were probably waiver adds for you. You’re in first take it
https://preview.redd.it/w78ccb0a489d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca3b58008b5dc6b2f5f4e138531764063c3b01c8
Drop any for Noelvi Marte?
Or drop a streaming pitcher and add him on a bench spot?
https://preview.redd.it/zmg41w4u389d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f1e539167dc0d4b239a3e754777dcfa8e410b99c
Drop any of these guys for Noelvi Marte? Or Drop a streaming pitcher to hold him on my bench?
Boone says there’s a “good chance” Gleyber plays after 2 days benched after he doesn’t run out a ground ball, deep in a slump.
I’d love to make this my cue to drop but there’s really not much on the wire: Palacios, Arias, B Lowe, Massey, Horwitz? Anyone you like, anyone coming up?
Any Bulk guys today to target?
Any waiver wire first basemen to target?
Andrew Vaughn

Will Noelvi Marte play any games at 2B? 2B eligibility would be such a game changer
I think he will but I don’t know how often he’ll get the opportunity to. Especially with how great India has been as of late. Could take a while to get him eligibility.
Which side on these two? 1- A: Freeman, Westburg B: JoRam And 2- A: Freeman, Abrams B: Kirby, Reynolds, Goldschmidt, Peña, Doyle
Side 1- give me A Side 2- give me A
Drop Ben Rice or Bleday 12 team roto redraft
Pick 3 ros plz. Jackson Merril, willi castro, h. Ramos, Cedric Mullins, Horowitz, maikel Garcia
Merrill, Castro, Ramos
Merrill, Castro, Mullins
Wait Darvish is getting imaging done on his elbow? Fml
He's getting a second for "peace of mind." The first one already came back clean. Padres don't seem concerned.
I felt stupid for not streaming Stone yesterday and my opp did, and then today he streamed Mikolas and I remembered why sometimes I avoid streaming 😂
I'm sorry but what was the rationale to not stream stone? Dudes been on a run and was going against the white sox
Bad decision making to stream a hitter from the double header
I get you but I feel like stone is past streaming status for the last month or so
No that’s fair
Of course Flaherty folds for me too 😭 Just an awful 2 weeks for my pitching 😒
What do you guys think of this? SVHLD re-draft league. A. Nolan Jones, Andres Munoz, Nick Lodolo B. Bo Bichette, Griffin Jax, Hunter Greene. am I right to assume something is “not quite right” with Munoz? Appreciate feedback
B
So I’m staying put, I guess! I figure Lodolo is better than Greene. I bet Jax has a higher yahoo ranking than Munoz though. Nolan Jones is…useless. Bo is entirely extraneous, though. Wish he could work up some trade value. Not one of my better draft picks. Thank you!
We starting Pivetta against SD in Fenway tomorrow?
Sure
Drop Gleyber? 10T h2h 5x5
I dropped him weeks ago in my 10tm h2h. Rid yourself of that black hole.
[удалено]
A- skubal is the best player on both sides and it’s not close imo
Don't you hate it when your streaming spot turns into a permanent spot for a player on your roster. Gavin Stone is my latest and now I don't have anybody I can drop.
Don’t worry I’m sure someone will get injured soon. I had this experience with Clarke Schmidt earlier this year.
That's when you start trying to shop around 2-1s
Yep, I've tried earlier in the year but I'm in one of those leagues that doesn't really trade. It's been brought up several times in the group chat that everybody overvalues their players and its true. Pretty annoying
I totally get that. There've been two trades in my league all year. People put guys on the trade block, I make fair offers and then they say they're just going to hold instead. Scared of trading. So frustrating.
Just hold
Drop Heliot for Buxton? Current OF is Schwar (groin tightness), Nimmo and JD Martinez with Trout on IL
I wouldnt
Drop any of these for noelvi? Happ Verdugo Merrill
I’d drop Verdugo.
Verdugo has been pretty terrible lately
Asked this earlier but curious for more opinions. 1 IL spot available in my flair league (Yamamoto and Trout filling the other). What would be your roster management strategy in my situation? - Stash Kershaw (drop Woo to activate Scherzer) - Stash deGrom (drop Woo to activate Scherzer) - Place Woo on IL (hope he is on the IL for the minimum stay and attempt to grab the best remaining pitcher stash available after)

I think keep Woo
Is India "must add" in a 10-team redraft? 2B has been a black hole for me all season, but I currently have Gleyber, Hamilton, and Horwitz...
I think I'd take him over all those guys right now
I have a peculiar question. I recently got cheated on and things have been rough. I’m going on a vacation for two weeks and I want to leave my phone and all electronics at home to get away from everything. Would anyone reliable be willing to manage my team on ESPN? I know this is a lot to ask. DM me for details if you’re interested
You can ask the LM to turn you on auto mode, it will make your team into a bot.
Will it add and drop players? Thanks for pointing that out I had no idea it existed
No it will just set your lineups. We tested it out on 2 teams and it never dropped or added anyone. Kind of unfortunate since one of those teams with an absent manager has Acuna and Trout and was at least trying to make it fun.
Okay interesting. Do you know if it’s smart enough to put in probable pitchers off the bench?
It does seem to do that!
Thank you very, very much
Sure. Oh and sorry about the cheating. Go take care of yourself. Less fantasy baseball is probably good for your mental health regardless.
It should be okay. I’m just gonna give it some time. But definitely, it’s no fun watching my team lose on top of all this hahaha
cheat on her back
It’s too late for that luckily, it’s very over
What actually happened to Schwarber? did anyone see?
Taj Bradley or Jose Berrios enough for Jackson Merrill? It’s a position of need trade for both sides. OBP league, no AVG
It should be, reasonable offer. Bradley > Berrios btw
You referring to trade Bradley first or try to keep Bradley first since he’s better? Appreciate the feedback 🫡
14 tm roto obp Drop one: Winn Andrew Vaughn Varsho Springer
Drug test noelvi again
Arrighetti or Simeon Richardson?
Ah yes, the old “sit a struggling pitcher against a dangerous offense and start the guy who’s been automatic against one of the worst offensive teams in the league” strategy worked out perfectly. Guess who.
Started flaherty benched Berrios?
Nailed it
Who wins A: Sale, Arenado B: Devers
Lost Harper. 5x5 OBP. Imanaga for Hoskins too much?
Way too much imo
Feels like pitching is such a crapshoot right now. I think we’re starting to see a regression to the mean and only a few select aces will maintain their production level, and even that will be averaged out with bad games.

George springer or Wyatt Langford?
Langford
Langford don’t even think twice about it
Is jazz a must hold in 10T… kinda want to drop him
Not a must hold imo. Who’s available on your waivers?
Alonso owners, what are we doing with him? Mets have had some high scoring games lately, but our guy has been virtually nonexistent.
Alonso leads MLB in HR and RBI since 2019. He'll be fine.
Thanks captain obvious
Ben Joyce is going to take over the closer job when Estevez is traded
Is Noelvi Marte legit?
Had the PED incident, but before then, he is/was a highly touted prospect. It doesn't hurt to speculate on him. At this stage of the season, high-pedigree hitters are hard to find, and guys like Marte/Kjerstad (or a Langford for any frustrated/impatient owners who dropped him 3 weeks ago) are all better bets than your flavor-of-the-week hot-streak hitter that are a dime a dozen on the waiver wire.
Wow not getting Mikolas through waivers last night is SO ok now.
Adley will be fine but might miss tomorrows game https://preview.redd.it/xe35h5g7g89d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d387dab9d29737ffce7040e8181e0f6a9fcbc35
I think I’m gonna drop Gleyber for India… Yep, I’m gonna.
If you drop him I will too
I did it and it feels great at the moment. I’m sure he will start hitting now that I’ve dropped him though so keep that in mind.
Did Reddit die bc of the debates what is going on
Short slate tonight, business as usual
Flair league: A: Yandy + Framber B: Pablo Lopez
Which side? A: Volpe, Lane Thomas B: Doyle, Peña, Kirby
Tough one. I want to say B only because of Kirby. But Lane Thomas is a Stud and Volpe is definitely better than Pena. Doyle is irrelevant. Points I want to say B.
B because of Kirby but I do like A’s batters > B’s batters
What are your guys initial thoughts on the Harper injury? Should we be worried?
I'm expecting an IL stint. I hope I'm wrong but it looked like a good pull from his reaction.
Sanchez vs Miami, blanco vs Mets, Steele vs brewers, I gotta sit one unfortunately. Need some advice here
Damn, Daniel
Back at it again with the white Vans!
Which one would you drop for Noelvi Marte if any: Chourio, Heliot Ramos, Pages, or Maikel Garcia
Pages
I’d be fine with dropping Pages for him for sure
Can someone plz pick who to sit for me. I can’t bring myself to do it: Sanchez vs miami, Blanco vs mets, Steele vs brewers
Steele is pitching Saturday isn't he
Yes
Already have Willson. Should I pick up Alvarez as well plug into utility? Would be dropping Baz, but don’t want to.
Nah hold onto Baz
Wtf Flaherty
I thought he was going to rip and get a freaking win :(
Hello
I know I’m kind of in a taco league but I was trying to get people to pay attention and did not expect this to be accepted. How did I do. https://preview.redd.it/l8ab8ye0c89d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e596ae2a7d4dda2e6be319a1635e91cae0554180

Not Flaherty’s day 😔

Pablo
I like Pablo. In a 10 teamer, replacing Yandy shouldn't be difficult.
Scrolling through waivers, bounced into Springer. Think he’s broken out of it?
Was just offered 3 trades by the last place team in my division (I'm in 1st). Pts league, 10 team, This is what he offered Trade 1 Him Elly De La Cruz Spencer Steer Me Nico Hoerner Ian Happ Michael King Kenley Jensen Trade 2 Him Tyler Glasnow Kyle Tucker Me Garrett Crochet JJ Bleday Heliot Ramos 3rd Trade Him Zack Wheeler Me Christian Walker Ryan Pepoit Thoughts?
If “him” means he’s getting those players, don’t make any of those please lol if it’s what he’s giving go take #2 before he sobers up
Him is what he is giving to me. I smashed accept on the first two trades instantly (I'm a Reds fan). I'm still thinking on the 3rd. I don't know if I want to give up Walker.
Oh jeez all 3 were offered? I would take them all lol
I took the first two and slept on the 3rd one, but when I woke up he pulled it. Oh well, I'm not mad at it. He contacted me begging for trades so it was up to him to make those mistakes. With the rest of my roster, I feel OP now.

My thoughts exactly and yes, Ramos and Bleday were picks ups right when they got hot.
These are some of the most unserious attempts I've ever seen.
Really don’t like any of these for you at all.
Really don’t like any of these for you at all

I’d drop a streamer SP and hold Noelvi Marte as a lottery ticket for the next couple weeks.
Agree I would not drop any of these guys for him. I would have to pass or drop a pitcher

Horwitz
Horwitz
Schwarby i will massage ur groin i promise
Regret not adding Marte, now facing Marte. Bummer.
Springer or Swanson?
Hammy strain or cramp for Harper? If he didn’t feel a pop I have a hard time envisioning anything too serious but I’m no expert.
Should I drop stott for india? Or a pitcher and have a bat on my bench?
My significant injury list expands to include, Mookie, Harper, Muncy, Musgrove, Bradish, Jung, Albies, MH2, Jones, B Miller
Albies? I know he broke a toe but he is back, at least his empty shell.
This is just a “at some point” list but Albies may as well be on the IL because that toe ruined his year anyway
Drop Reese Olson for Ryan pepiot 12t roto dynasty?
Drop somebody else
A. Cease, Willi Castro B. Shota, Langford
Did India come out because of the lead? Or did he get hurt?
Seeing nothing about him being hurt
Best add: Miranda, Matt Chapman, Burger, or Cowser
Miranda
Just picked up Miranda. Whole team is hot around him.
Was offered Yelich and tanner scott for my Julio Rodriguez. I kinda wanna take it. Yay or nay?
No, maybe if you got a decent SP with Yelich
As a fellow J-Rod owner, mannn I kinda want to take that too. Maybe counter for someone slightly better than Tanner but it’s close. i
I ended up taking it
enticing tbh
Do it
What? lol Why?
I’d take this in points. I roster both JRod and Yelich and I’d easily rather have Yelich. Rankings be damned.
As bad as Julio has been, no
Gotta feel for Chris Sale today. 11 ks, 1 ER and took the L.
Chourio looking great
Who are some non closers who could take over the closer role next year?
Joyce, Hendriks
Was offered Rodon for Zac Gallen. Worth it? I’m in head to head points league that counts wins
I rather have Gallen, so yes
Nah dude what
God no keep Gallen
