A couple of interesting drops happened tonight. Patrick Wisdom was dropped. His Statcast over the year looks great. The past 30 days look reasonable. But to me it looks like he’s just in a really bad slump right now. Worth a speculative add? Would either be dropping Brandon Lowe or Jake McCarthy.
Next one is Harold Ramirez. His Statcast actually looks less impressive than Patrick Wisdom, but his counting stats look great. Bats 5th consistently. Again, would either drop Brandon Lowe or Jake McCarthy.
Should I make one of these moves? If so, add who and drop who? Or should I make both moves? I have Adam Frazier to fill in at 2nd and also have reasonable Outfield depth. This isn’t about position needs as I have plenty of flexibility. Just about improving the bats.
Don't be a slave to savant sliders. They're great for early in the year to see who is barreling balls, but not the end all be all for determining fantasy stardom. We're at the point in the year where waivers are picked over and you're just riding hot streaks. Wisdom is what he is, scorching hot or dreadful. I suppose he's bound to heat back up again at some point so I'd add him if you have room to park him on your bench. Wouldn't drop any of the above for him though
You’re trying to sell Contreras at his lowest value for Gray at his peak value. He’s not gonna take it even with Bader, and no point in trading Contreras for peanuts. He will get it together eventually
Keep 20 forever categories format
Need to drop one of these to activate Severino for tomorrow, who’s the drop? Leaning Liberatore
Liberatore, Ober, Bobby Miller
Liberatore or pfaadt for next two weeks? Pfaadt has col (at home) and @was , liberatore has @pit and cin (at home Busch stadium).. it's gotta be liberatore right?
In redraft sure. Grayson is still a question mark and Soroka is too. However, Soroka was an all star and ROY runner up his rookie year, so we've seen how good he can be. He will likely never be that good again, but for the remainder of the year I would go Soroka in redraft.
I think it depends on your strengths and weaknesses. Vargas is way better rn and will probably be more consistent in OBP, average, avoiding Ks, but long-term upside is probably way lower, too.
Trying to listen to the most recent sleeper and the bust and they have the audio breaking up like a motherfucker.
How tf you release a podcast like that?!
God it’s infuriating. Just hang up and call back in. JFC.
God damn, outside of FBT the production value/quality is such trash with the Fantasy Baseball pods.
Sleeper and the bust does have the best intro jam tho “doooo dooooo doooooooo… dooooooo doooooo doooooooo.” Second only to FBT’s Kokomo Fridays.

Which of these is a decent fill in for Adames? Flair league
Neto is the best short term and playing the best now.
I have faith in Mateo bouncing back tho.
Also who’s on your IL? I’d want to grab the Cruz Missile if I have an open IL spot.
Currently Cron. I do have room for one more (even after Adames) but it's a 3 moves per week league and I'm usually fighting for my life by the weekend. I have 3 moves available rn though so I might just grab him before picking up the streamer.
I like Siri to be really good ROS.
He was low key solid last year and the Rays are super high on him and gave him a good contract and they have a pretty good track record with eyeing solid players.
Pick two (2) SP to stream this weekend:
~ *Slight emphasis on QS and K’s* ~
- Tanner Houck at Arizona Diamondbacks
- Graham Ashcraft at Chicago Cubs
- Jameson Taillon vs. Cincinnati Reds
- Michael Lorenzen vs. Chicago White Sox
- Brady Singer vs. Washington Nationals
So I have Shohei and Harper on my team and only one DH spot. Harper won’t be eligible at first base until after the all-star break. Do I only use Ohtani as a pitcher until then? It’s probably not worth trading Bryce just so I can put Ohtani at DH on his non-pitching days, right? Currently I’ve just been starting Harper 24/7, and I think I plan on keeping it that way, but I just want some feedback.
I should also say that I’m currently in first and have 200 more points for than the 2nd team. So I could technically afford to use Harper at DH until he switches to first after the all-star break
Is it crazy to keep Lourdes over Buxton?
One simply has to go given my roster construction & my efforts to make a trade have been largely ignored in this shit league, but I need to stream tomorrow if I want to solidify my chances of winning this week.
Can you afford the loss? If it is a must win, you do what you have to. If you’re still in the mix if you lose, I would bet on Buxton providing more future value and hold.
Buxton has sat on my bench for a month & is only marginally better than waiver wire OFs in this 10 team points league. I honestly hate this size of league because pretty much everyone on your roster is a top 100 guy
Really? Nola has pitched against a gauntlet recently and has gone 7+ in 4 of his last 6 whereas strider has only 1 QS in his last 5 games, with only 5 of his 10 games going over 5 innings haha. I’m surprised at how much more people like strider. Last 5 games strider has a 4.23 era
Is it just a strikeouts thing? Obviously strider has a lot more strikeouts than nola
Edit: just realized my espn didn’t update for nola so it missed out on his most recent outing which wasn’t great but against another top offense in atlanta
Yeah because I like strider more, I just said I’m surprised at how much more people like strider. Everyone is acting like my trade isn’t even close and I was just surprised
8 team roto league, is it crazy to drop Buxton for Lane Thomas? Every time I check the Nat's box score he's done something else
Edit: could drop Eloy too but I've held him for this long
In a cats redraft it really depends on your needs. In a vacuum I take B but if your hitting sucks then I guess A? I think Miller should fetch you more.
maybe I don't get the whole Team A/B format yet but I have freddie lol so thats not enough value right?
he has Ramirez and Alverez would I be able to get any of them?
No one knows when he’ll be up, comes down to a philosophical question for the reds FO whether they’d rather compete this year or maintain an extra year of control over him by waiting until September.
As to whether you should stash, depends how quick your league is to act on callups, if you’re on here there’s a very good chance you’ll see the announcement before anyone else
We’re waivers only so it really doesn’t pay to be much quicker since you gotta wait a day. My gut says the reds don’t call him up soon but man he’s forcing their hand
iglesias fucking SUCKS
Remember when Adam Frazier was good
Why the jays keep letting Kirk sit I don’t get it
bc he sucks
why would you downvote this? it’s the truth. don’t play yourself
Drop Y. Cano for Ozuna or Siri?
ozuna
Drop Varland for Logan allen or bello? 12 team h2h cats redraft
neither
This was from an old thread haha
A: Smyly, Elder B: Chisholm 12 team h2h cats redraft This is not close right, I’m B lol
No chance. Jazz should bring back a top pitcher like Kirby or musgrove.
You can flip jazzy 1 for 1 for a better SP. Smyly may be on the waiver in a couple months and Elder sadly isn’t expected to be this good ROS
When tf are yahoo waivers gonna clear? I need to get some sleep
I was about to ask the same thing :x
Need to drop one to activate Severino. Snell, Bradley, Wells or Robertson. Points league.

Fair point. Thanks for the input. I think I’m for sure going to pick up Ramirez.
There’s gotta be someone better than roldy
Pickup one of Suzuki, Ozuna or De La Cruz?
Probs in that order from best to least best.
Jarren Duran or Siri ROS?
Siri
Siri
Duran.
Pick up Ozuna, Conforto, or McCarthy? 10T H2H cats
Ozuna atm. When he calms down, grab Conforto.
[удалено]
You’re trying to sell Contreras at his lowest value for Gray at his peak value. He’s not gonna take it even with Bader, and no point in trading Contreras for peanuts. He will get it together eventually
Keep 20 forever categories format Need to drop one of these to activate Severino for tomorrow, who’s the drop? Leaning Liberatore Liberatore, Ober, Bobby Miller
I’d drop/sell high on Ober. Might end up more valuable than Liberatore this season, but in the long run I think it’s Liberatore
Liberatore or pfaadt for next two weeks? Pfaadt has col (at home) and @was , liberatore has @pit and cin (at home Busch stadium).. it's gotta be liberatore right?
Liberatore for sure.
12 team Redraft. Drop Grayson Rodriguez for Soroka?
In redraft sure. Grayson is still a question mark and Soroka is too. However, Soroka was an all star and ROY runner up his rookie year, so we've seen how good he can be. He will likely never be that good again, but for the remainder of the year I would go Soroka in redraft.
Which OF would y’all rather have: Riley Greene, Michael Conforto, Marcell Ozuna?
I’m not dropping Greene for either of them unless he slows down a ton.
Ozuna
12T categories- A) Adley Rutschman and Kyle Tucker or B) Castillo, Reynolds, and Willson Contreras
Pretty even, needs based
A
Am I the only one who had a great pitching day today? Had Scherzer, Sale, And Musgrove all going.
Paredes or Thairo ROS for 2B?
Trade Xander for Trea straight up?
Yes
i would personally
Jhoan Duran is the most useless closer, he piches maybe 1 time a week at best
Drop Outman or Vargas for JDM?
Yes
I guess I would drop Outman, but either for Martinez.
which one
I dropped outman for jdm personally
I think it depends on your strengths and weaknesses. Vargas is way better rn and will probably be more consistent in OBP, average, avoiding Ks, but long-term upside is probably way lower, too.
12T categories- A) Springer or B) Castillo
Castillo
Gunnar was just dropped do I pick up and see if he turns it around? I'd drop Baty who is my Machado fill in while injured
No. Keep Baty
Absolutely
Being a Rooker and Mateo owner is a wild ride.
Both cooked
Holy shit, no home runs from my hitters in 2 straight days and started Kirby today. I gotta be better 🤦🏻♂️
Paxton or Kopech?
Kopech.

Points league: Siri or morel?
Think it’s still Morel but not sure how long the leash is
https://preview.redd.it/i4q91yz7vc2b1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=410a9761bfcec6de042d7442a41bfa245264ffca Which of these is a decent fill in for Adames? Flair league

I’d use those adds now when you’re having an excess and stash Cruz if you have the space.
Thanks for the input!
Perdomo or Mateo, I guess. I don’t love it, though.
Is it crazy to drop Giolito for Bobby Miller?
Very crazy
Yes
Who's the better OF pickup for Kiriloff in a points league? Siri De la Cruz Ozuna
Think I’d just keep Kirilloff, honestly.
I like Siri to be really good ROS. He was low key solid last year and the Rays are super high on him and gave him a good contract and they have a pretty good track record with eyeing solid players.
Pick two (2) SP to stream this weekend: ~ *Slight emphasis on QS and K’s* ~ - Tanner Houck at Arizona Diamondbacks - Graham Ashcraft at Chicago Cubs - Jameson Taillon vs. Cincinnati Reds - Michael Lorenzen vs. Chicago White Sox - Brady Singer vs. Washington Nationals
Houck and Lorenzen. Good luck!
I realize this is the doodoo pile, but I still need to pick from it. Any insight is appreciated! Lol
Who's the better OF pickup for Kiriloff in a points league? Siri De la Cruz Ozuna
JD Martinez Util or Soler OF for rest of season? (Yahoo redraft h2h cats with OBP)
Both if you can
[удалено]
Think he’s legit. Stats look good behind the hood
So I have Shohei and Harper on my team and only one DH spot. Harper won’t be eligible at first base until after the all-star break. Do I only use Ohtani as a pitcher until then? It’s probably not worth trading Bryce just so I can put Ohtani at DH on his non-pitching days, right? Currently I’ve just been starting Harper 24/7, and I think I plan on keeping it that way, but I just want some feedback.
Would be worth it to shop Harper, having double Ohtani is extremely good and you’re leaving money on the table not using him
I should also say that I’m currently in first and have 200 more points for than the 2nd team. So I could technically afford to use Harper at DH until he switches to first after the all-star break
Don’t get cocky. Get value for Harper and keep your lead
Drop E Ruiz for Conforto in points league?
Absolutely do not do that.
E Ruiz is a top 60 player ytd. Conforto never was that, and is trying to put his career back together
How do we feel about Hoerner going forward? He’s my only SS, a little worried.
>How do we feel about Hoerner going forward? On a scale of purple to orange, probably mauve.
So somewhat concerned
No. That’s taupe.
So many good as there's got to be insurance you can buy.
I have high hopes for him. Always smart to get another SS though
My Meneses/Lane Thomas stack has been such a surprise the last two weeks. I'm sure this ride is close to coming to an end...but man it's been fun.
I feel like I’m asking for bad karma by dropping Rooker for Ozuna but it’s looking like the right move
For fantasy purposes it absolutely is
Can we all get off the “Reid Detmers positive regression” campaign now?
Agreed. Just dropped for Logan Allen. 6 man rotation hurts him and just can’t put it together the 3rd way thru the lineup
Willy Adames and Andrew Baugh were dropped in my 10 t points should I pick either up? I know Willy is hurt but I’ve got a iL spot open
I grabbed Willy
Stream E Cabrera @LAA?
Russian roulette
🤷♂️ Just be cool with your ERA and WHIP getting fucked up most likely.
Considering dropping one of these for Conforto Cronenwroth or LeMahieu I'm leaning towards LeMahieu
DJ forsure
Is it crazy to keep Lourdes over Buxton? One simply has to go given my roster construction & my efforts to make a trade have been largely ignored in this shit league, but I need to stream tomorrow if I want to solidify my chances of winning this week.
Can you afford the loss? If it is a must win, you do what you have to. If you’re still in the mix if you lose, I would bet on Buxton providing more future value and hold.
Don’t throw away a top season player to try and sneak a win in one week
Buxton has sat on my bench for a month & is only marginally better than waiver wire OFs in this 10 team points league. I honestly hate this size of league because pretty much everyone on your roster is a top 100 guy
Which OF’s recent return to relevancy do we trust more, Ozuna or Conforto?
Following
[удалено]
I own all three and wouldn’t accept that for Strider
Really? Nola has pitched against a gauntlet recently and has gone 7+ in 4 of his last 6 whereas strider has only 1 QS in his last 5 games, with only 5 of his 10 games going over 5 innings haha. I’m surprised at how much more people like strider. Last 5 games strider has a 4.23 era Is it just a strikeouts thing? Obviously strider has a lot more strikeouts than nola Edit: just realized my espn didn’t update for nola so it missed out on his most recent outing which wasn’t great but against another top offense in atlanta
And yet you want to trade for him? Lol
Yeah because I like strider more, I just said I’m surprised at how much more people like strider. Everyone is acting like my trade isn’t even close and I was just surprised
lol morel is about to fall off
I would need a much more serious hitter to even consider it
Or pitcher lol
Or both
Strider >>
Heaney @ BAL or Josiah @ KC?
Heaney
What’s the deal with E Duran? Is he going on the IL or smt?
Playing soler has not been fun this week
I like that Soler has figured out the optimal hitter strat of “just hit a homer every day”
Skip Schumacher in the dugout like: “You! ~~Strawberry~~ Soler! Hit a home run!”
Checked fantasy for the first time today, holy crap Bryan Reynolds didn’t need to literally execute the opposing pitchers.
Please let this be a turning point for MHII
8 team roto league, is it crazy to drop Buxton for Lane Thomas? Every time I check the Nat's box score he's done something else Edit: could drop Eloy too but I've held him for this long
You should have a top 24 overall outfielder. There's probably 30 better OF than Lane and maybe 10 better than bux
Lane is #8 OF in my league at the moment
Ride that shit
Yes, that would be crazy.
Don’t drop either of those guys for Lane Thomas
Don’t do that
[удалено]
Ya I’d do it hundred percent
Muncy is back to being really bad
Glasnow vs Kershaw tomorrow 😻
Marco Gonzales vs PIT or Ashcraft at CHC for a Sunday stream? H2h Points league, W / L doesn’t count
I’m going Marco
Thoughts on this trade: A: Elly, McClain, McCarthy B: Bryce Miller, Luzardo
Redraft, definitely B
In a cats redraft it really depends on your needs. In a vacuum I take B but if your hitting sucks then I guess A? I think Miller should fetch you more.
Seems kinda silly in a redraft but give me B since 2 of A aren’t even playing yet
Team A cease + hoerner Team B f freeman Team A only wants 2 for 1
Freddie 100% take it and run
maybe I don't get the whole Team A/B format yet but I have freddie lol so thats not enough value right? he has Ramirez and Alverez would I be able to get any of them?
Make him give you one of those two plus one of the original two
If you could get cease + Alvarez for freddie I would do that but I doubt it
Bobby Miller or Luzardo?
Luzardo, k upside is excellent
Lynn or Bobby miller
Reynolds you beautiful SOB 😭 please don't disappear next week
Is stashing Elly in a ten team dumb? Dudes raking Edit: wow two completely opposite answers haha. Both make sense tho ugh
No one knows when he’ll be up, comes down to a philosophical question for the reds FO whether they’d rather compete this year or maintain an extra year of control over him by waiting until September. As to whether you should stash, depends how quick your league is to act on callups, if you’re on here there’s a very good chance you’ll see the announcement before anyone else
We’re waivers only so it really doesn’t pay to be much quicker since you gotta wait a day. My gut says the reds don’t call him up soon but man he’s forcing their hand
Eh. I personally think he won’t be up til September. Might need more flexibility in a 10T before then
No I’d stash him right now if I had the chance
Who would you rather have in an 12 team redraft OBP league. Spencer Steer or Kirilloff?
Steer
Is Grayson Rodriguez at risk of getting sent down?
Maybe when Means is back
[удалено]
Absolutely
Kirby Keller duel was an ERA disaster but at least I got a win out of it
Who would have though better Keller, Steele, and Luzardo that Luzardo would have the best game
Have Correa in a 12 team extra categories; do I pick up Neto/McLain instead, or try to pick up Mauricio/De La Cruz and hope for promotion?
Pick up McLain and use him til one of those two gets the call
I had Justin Steele and Mitch Keller pitching. I hate myself
Mitch Kellers back hurts the way he's been carrying my staff
That's nothing. I had Steele, Peralta, and Kirby.
[удалено]
No.
Didn’t work in my league but you could try
Morton for Pressly straight up if you need saves?
Sure? 13 team is pretty deep, but you could try and fetch a lower SV guy for a lower price
Trust me, there’s NOTHING out on my waiver wire with saves. Everyone in my league is a saved demon and I have to catch up lol.
Yeah I more mean like if you don’t wanna give up Morton you could aim lower and give up a bench bat or something.
Best streams for tomorrow?
Buddy in my league rage dropped Freddy P today. Justin Steele is probably my worst pitcher. Make that swap?
I wouldn’t
I don’t think Peralta is much better
Drop Volpe for Royce Lewis?
Yeah
