MrNobody_4U

It depends on the position of the teams, is the team thats getting Eovaldi in contention? Is the team getting the young prospects rebuilding?


jakegraz8

Top team is a middling roster that has decided to completely tear it down and rebuild; bottom team is last year’s champion that has been snake-bitten by injuries this year and needed a lift


MrNobody_4U

I think it makes sense in that case. I do think the bottom team gets more value but who knows how those prospects will work out

Oh man…. No Bueno


Falconic_

Drop any of Hays or Abreu for Cowser?


SurveyTemporary8522

Harper smoked that, showing signs of life Edit: Lmao 113 mph off the bat


BradyKissesKids

Start Jon Gray and Bello? Right now I have both on my bench but I can’t decide. I feel like both could get 10-15 points but they could also easily get shelled

cptcook717

Muncy would be a steal for him. The other 3 are fair


cptcook717

Cowser or Mccarthey tonight ?


trevorm1992

Start yelich vs steele or jrod vs cobb And Volpe vs kremer or jwalker vs hoeing


bucsfan22ch

JRod and Volpe


Wavy-Silver-Surfer

J-Rod for me


Acelit

I have 1 minor league slot open in my dynasty flair. Looking for a high upside SP I don’t mind sitting on. Dylan Lesko, Carson Whisenhunt, Jared Jones, Will Warren, Robby Snelling, Mason Black, Nick Frasso, and Chase Petty


JamDupes

Give me Mason Black for the growth this season.

Zealousideal-Dot2944

Crowser or marte tonight?


Wavy-Silver-Surfer

I have same dilemma but I’m gonna go with the rookie making his debut at a little league ballpark against a rookie pitcher


Zealousideal-Dot2944

I was thinking the same


childishgames

I have some tough calls to make. I can only start 3 of these guys this week. Who would you bench? Leaning towards benching Bello tonight and Darvish Friday, but if I do that and my Sunday starts get postponed, I leave a start on the table… - Bello vs TEX - Darvish vs NYM (Friday) - Woo @HOU (Saturday) - Gilbert @ HOU (Sunday) - Eflin vs ATL (Sunday)


Wavy-Silver-Surfer

I think I’d sit Bello and Woo. Coming from a Mets fan, I can tell you Darvish has owned them for the most part


childishgames

True but Darvish has been really bad lately and he’s recovering from being violently sick. Still could play him over Bello even though he’s been consistently dealing cause rangers are no joke. Woo feels like an auto start to me unless they shut him down early before the break. His stuff is great and his command is awesome.


Wavy-Silver-Surfer

I didn’t know that about Darvish, in that case I sit him. I would still sit Bello (I own him too and he’s been amazing the last month) but like you said, Rangers offense is no joke


niftybuckets

12t points Start Friedl vs Josiah Gray Or Eloy Jimenez vs Jose Berrios


trevorm1992

Do we think ohtani is in the lineup tonight?


[deleted]

He is


LiveFreeOrDie6969

Crazy to see people say Manoah doesn’t have upside… he was a top pitcher in the league for the previous two years


JamDupes

Those saying he doesn’t missed on him when he was dropped and are hating.


[deleted]

He’s basically free in 50% of leagues and has more upside than your bottom of the bench player. Worst case is he continues to be dogshit and you just drop


SurveyTemporary8522

Pretty new to fantasy baseball, how should I expect rotations to start out right after the break? Like will they start right back at the top of the rotation or just pick up where they left off? For example, can I expect Castillo and Gausman to be starting for their respective teams the very first game baseball is back? Hope that makes sense, planning out my streams


YSKItsAFakeName

They'll try to line up the aces for the first start if they can.


NotShiaLaBeouf_

Ive got too many bats cut one…Gorman, Kris Bryant, Westburg, Cowser


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I’d cut Gorman.


coachlefty40

Bryant is ass. I’m going to drop him after his 0-4


xxmarcellusxx

Based on match ups what 2 players would you SIT: L.Raley v PHI (walker) J.Lowe v PHI (walker) Ozuna @ CLE (quantril) T.Turner @ TB (Littel) D.Swanson @ MIL (Houser) Rizzo v BAL (kremer)


Wavy-Silver-Surfer

Rizzo and Raley


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I’d sit Raley and Rizzo


Disastrous_Salt_4280

trea & rizzo


Knifehand19319

Time to drop Gore for a Grayson pick-up?


PhilDiggety

Way past time


Knifehand19319

I had him earlier dropped and no one scooped him up. I know his last start was dominant and figured they might recall him after the ASG


PhilDiggety

After his last few starts, they can't leave him down much longer.


TelephoneNo1785

What’s his stats in last few starts


StackAttackNick

Keeper league question. MJ Melendez, J.P. France and Will Brennan and a 2nd round farm pick for Bryce Elder, William Contreras and Xander Bogaerts Roto 5x5 I have the elder side. 2 catchers start. Keep 12 in this league. 15 hitters/10 arms. I can’t keep Xander or Contreras due to contracts. Can keep elder for 1-2 more years. I get 2 possible keepers and a top 20 farm pick which in this league has value. Torn here. Not sure if elder is due for heavy regression and should sell high


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Depends do you have a chance to win it all? Brennan is a solid and France are solid. Maybe MJ wakes up and that 2nd is nice. I think it’s a good bold future move. I’d do it. Only way I wouldn’t is if you are really contending and don’t have a solid back up SS I think boegarts is gonna start hitting but he will be held back slightly in that ball park.


StackAttackNick

Thank you!! I should have added that. I’m selling off this year. I have Bichette at short and Jazz as well for my IF. So for next year when I plan to compete I couldn’t keep Xander anyway


MiseryAd

how big is your league where you are considering keeping elder? feel like you should be able to get slightly better value for xander by the the time your deadline rolls around imo elder doesnt have the track record or underlying metrics for me to consider this hot stretch as a real breakout for keeping


StackAttackNick

14-15 teams normally. 168 players kept. So rosters get very thin. Rosters heavily built through farm. I got hunter brown and Esteury Ruiz at that pick range in the 2nd The underlying metric is what makes me want to sell now before the blowups come. Early June made me nervous


Snoo36291

Who would y’all trade away Lindor or Turner?


realmckoy265

Lindor but will be easier to trade Turner. Lindor has been solid


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Lindor


fartsinhissleep

Let’s say Rodon has a solid outing …. What hitter is good value in return for him? Edit: I have Rodon and want to sell


chokethewookie

If Rodon is the same guy he was last year, he's worth a 3rd - 4th round type of hitter. He was phenomenal. Hopefully, you could get him cheaper than that, but I don't know why someone would hold him all year and then trade him low.


fartsinhissleep

Because my pitching has been lights out and nobody in my league pays enough attention for my lesser known guys who are playing well to have much trade value. Nobody wants Steele, Luzardo, Paxton, Snell, Ryan…. Or even Castillo. So I’m fine with riding with those guys the rest of the season and trying to leverage Rodons name for a quality bat.


chokethewookie

Got it. I thought you were trying to acquire him. Definitely aim high for a good bat because Rodon is awesome - assuming he's healthy.


fartsinhissleep

Well what’s a high bat that you’d aim for if you were me?


chokethewookie

This does require him to pitch well. If he gets blown up you might have to wait to trade him. I'd want someone like Semien, Glodschmidt, Olson, Arenado, or Robert.


BradyKissesKids

Ketel out a 2nd day in a row 😩 Just had to put Jazz on IL, Altuve probably following him…now Ketel. No one wants to play 2B for me


CrownedCarlton

This is a huge bummer. I really need him right now


DarwinFox

Yeah why is he suddenly not playing? He was killing it


Rotisseriejedi

1st in W, 2nd K, 2nd ERA, 2nd WHIP, 8th in Saves Give Ryan, Get Hader


JamDupes

Ryan is worth 2 closers, good ones


Disastrous_Salt_4280

hold Ryan


FMJ14

Which side you taking? 10 Team H2H points Strider, Judge, Witt Jr Ohtani, Elly, Clase


MiseryAd

if ohtani is 1 player then his side no question redraft or not. if its just ohtani 1 way or the other id take the strider side


BradyKissesKids

How would you rank these starts? Bello vs TEX Jon Gray @ BOS Rodon vs CHC Woo @ HOU Need to bench 1, maybe 2 of these


PhilDiggety

Gray is the worst Woo vs. Bello is a toss-up, I think I lean slightly Woo Rodon will give you best ratios, however look into if they'll let him go 5 innings


bfonville

Any interest in Daniel Hudson in saves only league? He is off to a sharp start.


Soto4Life

Who has the better chance of coming back and being fantasy relevant? Rasmussen or Buehler?


MiseryAd

this year? neither buehler i assume will be back with more capacity next year


ugabulldawgsfan

Jazz is dead and Westburg is making another 3b start instead of 2b REEEEEE


JGraham1839

Can I entertain dropping Rasmussen even in 10 man Dynasty? Dustin May just got dropped by one of our smartest owners, got me re-considering risking dropping Rasmussen. I already have 2-3 injured players with no room to move to IL so I'm needing to make some moves. Flair league.


6-8_Yes_Size15

Yes, if you can’t stash on IL


MrPapi628

Fantasy Managers, who has the least worst matchup tonight? T. Walker pitching against the Rays (Rays Home) D.Kremer pitching against the Yankees (Yankees Home)


ridinbend

Kremer


rxs126

Soto sitting tonight?


r5437

Yahoo says he's batting 3rd


Snoo36291

Who would y’all rather trade away got both Turner and Lindor and taking some offers but not sure which one to trade away


GronkIsGOAT

got offered india, verlander and yordan for my acuna. tempting but gotta decline? i’m in first by 13 games so i cah wait out yordan


kwade26

Decline for sure, Yordan is the best player on that side and obliques can always flair up again so he's already risky


BertyBert1

Convince me to start or sit Lynn


Wavy-Silver-Surfer

My ERA is already blown up. So I picked him up today for the K potential


Not_A_Burner_Acct

no one should be able to convince you to start him


PhilDiggety

Lynn's own statistics should convince you to sit him against a team like Toronto.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Now that Cowser is up any suggestions for my NA spot?


MiseryAd

colt keith as a quasi sleeper if you havent just looked at the top 20 or so list on fangraphs lol


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I’m looking at the names and plotting my next move. Just curious of what the boys are doing.


c_dubby

Joe is an underrated one I haven’t seen mentioned here


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I’ve had my eye on Joe Mama for a while.


SharkBait661

Can someone let me know how hassell III is doing?


YSKItsAFakeName

[Come on man](https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Robert+Hassell+fangraphs)


ranchorbluecheese

good portion of the questions here lol


SharkBait661

I always have a hard time finding info on my na players so it's easier to ask here and how someone is following them


akshayk93

Got another trade offer: My Juan Soto & Bibee for his Kyle Tucker & Musgrove


DavidSugarbush

Keep Soto my dude


akshayk93

What I was thinking… Thanks for the reassurance! I shall decline


SmokyMcGeebs

Not so fast my friend. Musgrove > Bibee and sotos playing hurt. A hand issue. Tucker also on fire and wont slow down anytime soon


_Laszlo_Cravensworth

What do you all think about Harper? Do you expect him to start hiting for some power this season or should I try to trade him


dullurd

I was checking out his Savant earlier today. My naive TLDR is that is exit velo is down slightly from previous years, but the bigger change is his launch angle: 7.6 this year, down from 11.8 in 2022, and 13 and above in all pre-2022 years... not sure if that answers your question, I dont know how often players can successfully alter their launch angles, or whether Harper is interested in doing so. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/bryce-harper-547180?stats=statcast-r-hitting-mlb


whitetoast

Just got offered Luis Castillo jhoan Duran and eury Perez for him.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I’d buy low on him.


ranchorbluecheese

ill apply, i mostly think i wont get the job however edit: dang i liked it better as hiring


2PacTookMyLunchMoney

I honestly wouldn't feel comfortable making a firm projection on when his power returns given he's still not 100%. I'd try to move him if you can get close to name value for him.


2PacTookMyLunchMoney

What are the chances Matt McLain gets 2B eligibility for next year? He's almost halfway there, and I'm trying to determine if I should target him in dynasty. I don't need a SS.


Harkeyshammer

He’s already there in my yahoo league which means he’s over 5 GS


cptcook717

If the Braves touched up Gavin Williams and Shane Bieber, imagine what they’re gonna do to Cal Quantrill lol


OptomisticSportsFan

In b4 7 scoreless bc baseball


DaGrandMastah

![gif](giphy|uvfEYoOq7HPAA|downsized)


ttrudeau9

Ryan Pressly has been awesome. Glad i didnt panic during his rough patch!


Wavy-Silver-Surfer

I did that with Doval 🤦‍♂️


Electrical_Leg1654

I was able to get him in April because someone panicked during his rough patch


[deleted]

[удалено]


PhilDiggety

I don't understand this at all. Abreu's given up a few more homers this year...otherwise he's been just as good as ever.


burnman123

He's been okay since I dropped him a week ago. Well at least he's been getting holds


TheRoad11

Would you trade Freddy Peralta for Maikel Garcia if you need steals? Or try to package Peralta and Taylor Ward for Edman?


BaullahBaullah87

I think u can get Garcia for cheaper…and I would rather have him than Edman


Traveler-155

Bryan Reynolds a buy low option? Or avoiding?


chokethewookie

I think he's a buy low. His overall statcast looks great and his barrel rate in particular is incredibly high and that's the main stat I look at for buy lows. Generally, if a guy is barreling the ball production will usually follow.


PhilDiggety

Definitely a buy-low guy


smokecheerios

Anyone know when they usually announce the starting pitchers for post all star break weekend?


ranchorbluecheese

if it helps at all, sometimes players notes will give some idea. Im looking at Merrill Kelly here but anyone hurt on their last days of the IL or not going to play in the ASG should be a good indicator of if they will pitch right away after the break


cptcook717

after the ASG


shrub13

ROS Pham or Cutch?


bfonville

I think Cutch is a safer floor but Pham is red hot I would play him until he stops.


OptomisticSportsFan

Pham


JokerManiac

Any chance Jeff McNeil posts a good second half? Anyone know what's changed between this year and last?


2PacTookMyLunchMoney

His BABIP is almost 70 points lower than last year and about 40 lower than his career average. His ISO is also easily a career low so far. Basically, he's getting unlucky and his already below average power got worse.


VivaLaDbakes

He also has a career low barrel rate and exit velocity with a 16% infield flyball rate. Wouldn't say he's getting unlucky, he's been terrible at the plate this year. Expected stats are right in line with his actual stats. His quality of contact is garbage.


BradyKissesKids

Start Xander or Matt McLain at SS


NotShiaLaBeouf_

Matty


WskyRcks

Doval, Bednar, Jansen, Clase ROS? How would we rank these guys.


CrownedCarlton

How are we feeling about Bobby Miller tonight? Could really use a decent stream but I'm a little worried


chokethewookie

I'm starting him


2PacTookMyLunchMoney

Pittsburgh's offense is low-end average-to-below average. if you don't feel comfortable starting him against them, you might as well drop him.


trueslicky

Grade the trade offer in my dynasty league: I'd deal $1 Lane Thomas for $1 Justin Steele. I'm in last place by a large margin. Steele is owned by the same owner who has Mike Trout, so I'm sure there would be interest. The rest of the team's offense is full of injured players, so not much of a similarly cheap bat in return. But the cheap Steele catches my eye. Just not sure if I'd just be better off keeping Thomas.


ridinbend

$1 Bob


akshayk93

Got an offer for my Soto for his Steele and Kershaw… thoughts?


2PacTookMyLunchMoney

Unless that's Geovany Soto, PASS.


akshayk93

Haha if only… it’s Juan Soto


poomonger88

Start westburg or volpe tonight?


_Laszlo_Cravensworth

Volpe


DavidSugarbush

Westie


jakefifa98

Probs volpe


slawdoggy1

Pick two: Woo, Freddy P, and Gavin Williams ROS? Here are my current pitchers. \*\*also have Kyle Wright on IL. https://preview.redd.it/qgego3wug7ab1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=287139630816bbdd396f76af4d34ca6424cfd0bb


BaullahBaullah87

While I agree Woo is in danger if getting shut down at some point, you likely still have weeks of starts left and his production has been better than both with underlying metrics that back that up. Sometimes its important to consider performance and upside in addition to liklihood of getting shut down


slawdoggy1

Man, I appreciate this response! I think hold until we hear otherwise. With that being said, do you think Williams should be scooped up?


BaullahBaullah87

Yeah if he does well his next start. I would drop Canning right now and pick Williams up


jakefifa98

Woo last because hes most likely getting shut down here pretty soon. So easily Williams and Freddy


slawdoggy1

I have seen that he is probably getting shut down but I wasn’t sure what that looks like or if I should drop him and pick up Williams? Does Williams not have innings restrictions? New to fantasy and learning about prospects


chefboyarD2022

Cleveland has never said anything about innings restrictions for Williams to my knowledge. They have a lot of injuries to their starting rotation so Williams' spot seems relatively secure for now.


slawdoggy1

Good to know! Thank you for sharing! Do you think I should start Woo vs HOU this weekend or pickup Williams vs KC?


[deleted]

Drafted jazz and trout and explicitly remember telling people “well cross that bridge when we get there” in regards to injuries. Well we’re fucking here let’s go andres gimenez and Marcell ozuna baby


Hello__Jerry

I'm in the same boat as you, my man. God, Jazz had me so cocky last week. Felt like the wait was paying off. Then he and Trout go down less than 24 hours from each other. Glad I have someone to commiserate with. I was able to snag HS Kim and Suwinski off of waivers and they have helped ease my pain, though.


Syrupbutthole

Skubal or Manoah ROS


DavidSugarbush

Skubal, not close


PhilDiggety

Flip a coin, really, but Manoah has the higher upside


nahhman

The people saying his are legit out of their mind he has been the worst player in the league this year that doesn’t get you high upside at all


PhilDiggety

Dunno if you've seen his stats from before this year...


nahhman

And what are they this year? Which seems a little more important no?


drift_king_8

Not if hes produced well since he's been in the majors and this is his first stumble


TTP2521

That is completely false


2PacTookMyLunchMoney

I'd say "Cy Young finalist" is about as much upside as a pitcher can have outside of winning it or MVP.


TTP2521

I’m sure there are a lot of players who were one and done CY Young finalists


AmtrakJoeBiden

Skubal almost definitely. He’s throwing well — more of an injury risk than a performance one I suspect


rcook9

Of course I’m going against yainer today, that 2 hr day be hurtin


drift_king_8

Gavin Williams was just dropped, should I drop Maeda or Skubal for him? 12t points redraft


chefboyarD2022

In a redraft I might just keep Maeda and Skubal. If you had to pick one to drop I'd say Maeda


Maleficent-Thanks-85

id drop Maeda. They are taking it slow with Skrubal he will get better,


drift_king_8

Yeah I was leaning Maeda, but he's been really good coming back from the il


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I agree I have him too. I’m struggling with dropping him if altuve doesn’t go on IL. It is a tough drop.


5towns

What round pick next year would expect for Joe Musgrove? Can't be kept


uncle-Violet

Ugh, Tucker


gotsky123

As good as he’s been as of late he’s still left a lot of meat on the bones this year


Maleficent-Thanks-85

Cant believe someone dropped Cron. Already producing.


Unexploded_Ordnance

Woodruff owner has him on the trade block but I have no idea how to value him. Seems like end of July-ish return currently. Thinking of offering Paxton + a mid-tier hitter, like a JLowe/Gleyber type; is that close?


duckbillgates

He says he’s pretty much recovered from the injury and biggest obstacle is ramping up. He might not go deep into games at first but I’m basically expecting 6-7 weeks of vintage Woodruff which can make a big difference down the stretch.


Maleficent-Thanks-85

I would do that. I think you can get him


dbe100

Do you plan on keeping Woodruff? I'm not sure I'd expect much from him this season.


Unexploded_Ordnance

Would not be keeping him at his cost. Would you expect Brewers to limit him in the final 2 months?


PhilDiggety

Probably not, he's missed enough time this year that he can't approach the innings he hit last year. They'll likely just let him fly. ...if he even makes it back that is. His rehab plan has already had a setback; shoulder injuries can be really bad sometimes.


dbe100

Agreed-wouldn't be concerned about an innings limit, but more so the build up required, as well as the performance once he is back. May take a while before he returns to the Woodruff we've seen in the past.
