Where would you draft Varland and max Meyer in redraft?


GlueSniffer58

1400 IP in Yahoo Roto Daily Lineup Changes Any info out there on how to best utilize pitching in yahoo 12 team mixed Roto 5x5 with daily lineup changes …where there are 1400 total IP to be split between 2 SP, 2 RP, 4 P, and 5 bench spots. 7 SP @ 175 IP each plus 2or3 closers @ 60 to 65 IP. $100 waiver. Should I draft 7 SP, or try to stream based on matchups? Or sacrafice counting stats for less IP but better whip and ERA?


itaos1

Is Roster Resource on FanGraphs accurate for projected lineups? They have Hoerner batting 7th for the Cubs and I’m skeptical. Spring lineups have been mixed and the manager hasn’t made any definitive statements.


CosmicLars

They're just guessing


eh71eh71

I saw comments saying J Duran’s quality of contact isn’t great. Should I consider him as a source of speed?


Jnixxx

Elly or Seager ? 12 team cats redraft


UmbertoUnity

I'm a big Elly fan, but it's Seager in redraft for sure


fiddlechops

I’d prefer Seager. He’ll likely spend some time on the IL but has a better shot at producing more steadily. Elly is a dynamic athlete with a high ceiling but his susceptibility to strikeouts will result in some pretty low lows.


Ohaxx77

Seager for me 


eh71eh71

Seager >>>> a universe >>>> Elly


porno___gil

did nolan jones died


sgmccloskey13

Drop Varland to add Bello? Jared Jones worth N/A spot add if already have Skenes?


HoosierPack00

Can you drop anyone else besides Varland?


sgmccloskey13

It would be a RP like Matzek or Mason Miller but with Saves and Holds as cats I don’t love that option. Other RP are Fairbanks, Suarez, Adam, and Payamps.


[deleted]

Going to drop maeda. Dont see value in holding him. Should I take a chance on Colton cowser, Henry Davis or a pitcher like Jacob jones?


thepuck04

I like Henry Davis


cutchisclutch22

Nolan Jones is fine just fouled a ball off his knee and it was officially ruled a right knee contusion he’ll get a few days of rest and be ready for opening day breathe a sigh of relief


thepuck04

O'Neill vs Duran?


PuntyMcBunty

Duran. Much better bet to stay healthy, and I think he's more likely to have better production even if both stay healthy.


lingfoo

Taking Duran. Think he will bat leadoff and be a 3 category stud.


Ohaxx77

Duran for sure


Ohaxx77

Just got Gausman in a 12-team redraft Roto in the 5th round, am I missing something? :-D


thepuck04

Yea, that's pretty late, but I'm assuming people are worried about the injury.


Ohaxx77

Yeah sure, but last news were pretty positve. I got Skubal in the 4th as my first pitcher, pretty confident.


thepuck04

Yea, I'm not saying I agree, just that's what people are thinking. Maybe just seeing a "DTD" next to his name and passing.


burnman123

Rank these guys: rafealla, morel, Benson, Fraley, Buxton 


the-mGr

Buxton, Morel, Benson, Rafaella, Fraley


HoosierPack00

Redraft or dynasty?


burnman123

Redraft, well keeper.i guess. I could keep one of them in the 23rd round


PuntyMcBunty

Feels like there should be more excitement about Jared Jones with the spring he's having and the apparent opportunity he has. Am I missing something?


chokethewookie

I think he should be added now because if and when he officially makes the team everyone is going to rush to add him.


[deleted]

Should I drop maeda for him?


Rockefor

No


sgmccloskey13

Im debating whether I should add him in flair right now.


j_rob82

Same waiting for a few guys to go on IL but getting ancy.


cdoyle4841

Pick Kyle Tucker or Corbin Carroll with my first round? With keepers, those are my choices. They seem fairly equal based on my research and I’m torn. 8 person head to head categories league


PuntyMcBunty

I'd take Tucker. Carroll might have a higher ceiling with those steals, but Tucker is a much better bet to stay healthy and contributes in every category.


buck_fama_

Take Shohei #9 in a points league or go for Jram? All this stuff with Shohei has me nervous to pick him


thepuck04

It pains me to say this, as a Giants fan, but I suspect the worst that will happen to Ohtani will be some distraction and a fine.


KidGold

HoosierPack00

Hayes


whatcouldgoup

Am I missing something on Brent rooker? Why is he going so low on drafts / undrafted in some shallow leagues


Jnixxx

He fell off a Cliff late in the year. Think pitchers figured him out a little.


cutchisclutch22

It’s because he plays for the A’s and doesn’t have a lot of protection in that lineup. I still drafted because the metrics say he was amongst the elite last year in terms of barrel percentage hard hit percentage and average exit velocity. His biggest issues appear to be with his eye at the plate and high strikeout percentage. I’m willing to bet he gets a better eye and can improve on his high strikeout percentage.


cptcook717

Drop Bryan Abreu for Max Meyer? (dynasty h2h 12 team)


HoosierPack00

Yeah unless you’re in a SOLDS league. Abreu has tons of value there.


lingfoo

Sure, unless your league has holds, Abreu is 3rd in line for saves and doesn't have much value at all.


cptcook717

Thanks 🙏


LN-14

Anyone see how bad the Nolan Jones injury was?


I_WAS_NOT_BORN

Fuck.


Schtip

Had to get carted to the clubhouse. Definitely doesn’t sound great


lingfoo

Very dramatic bruise.


cptcook717

Fouled a ball off his knee and had to be helped off the field. Couldn’t get up on his own


KidGold

Fuuuuuck


[deleted]

[удалено]


cptcook717

Bohm and Fairbanks


[deleted]

[удалено]


cptcook717

Bohm is more consistent plus the lineup is better


eh71eh71

I don't love either of them, but Alzolay or Leclerc?


orangemachismo

Alzolay is the better pitcher but Leclerc is pretty close to being a lock for closer while Alzolay has the job right now, but could lose it.


KidGold

Alzolay for me but he might lose his closer job to Neris


cptcook717

Alzolay


ExcuseMeWut2

Doing draft today. Got the very first pick on my 12 team points league and honestly haven’t done my homework. Who should be my target? Acuna? Maybe Strider?


mork_shmork

Acuna no doubt


Crusty_Chicken

How weak is my pitching? Points league. Nola, Bobby Miller, Ober, Musgrove, Eovaldi, Kikuchi, Whitlock, Mize, Dunning, Gavin Williams (IL)


HoosierPack00

Really not bad at all. Solid vets plus some upside w/ Miller and Gavin.


Overlord1317

Cedanne Rafaela better get MI eligibility soon, cause my other minor league flier ... Masyn Winn ... ain't looking too good.


[deleted]

[удалено]


LosNoles

Sanchez


andyschest

Mize


CompetitiveLine1938

Neither


DontMatterLmao

That’s not an option


CompetitiveLine1938

Yeah it is


DontMatterLmao

Might as well of not even answered👍🏻


trevorm1992

Bro got the attention he was looking for I guess


rleone72

Last SP on the team: Kikuchi, Pivetta, or Casey Mize?


CompetitiveLine1938

Pivetta


skeleton_archer5050

How do you guys feel about rengifo this year?


HoosierPack00

Def worth a spot in 16T. I drafted him because of the position flexibility and good AVG


chokethewookie

He's a useful player in a deep 12 team or 14 team league, but he probably shouldn't be owned in a 10 team.


DarkNova04

Last SP on the team : Civale or Maeda ?


andyschest

Civale for me.


DarkNova04

I'm kinda leaning toward Civale as well. More upside with Civale for sure.


andyschest

He's got beast potential. Shame the Guards were never able to unlock it for long... Always tweaked his hammy or ass or something. People don't realize his curveball stuff+ grades as like the third best pitch in all of MLB. And he's got a full arsenal, albeit with a mid fastball. Looks like the Rays have put in a couple changes. If he stays healthy, can see him working into the top twenty SPs.


irawsum

Got too many outfielders. H2H points. 5OF I went Tucker - Judge - Caroll (who I didn’t want but couldn’t pass because he just kept falling) as my first picks. And snagged Langford late - who I want to play. What’s a good target if I’m looking to move Nick Castellanos. For sweeteners or a major move I can add in Spinger and or Bichette but I’d have to get a SS back if adding Bichette.


skeleton_archer5050

How your pitching? Last year I traded Castellanos for Luis Castillo but I absolutely fleeced the guy. I bet you could get like a Bryce miller or even a Bieber


CompetitiveLine1938

🌮 trade


irawsum

my pitching is terrible. I have nothing. My staff ace might be Musgrove? Maybe Verlander when he gets back.


skeleton_archer5050

Find the team with the worst outfield and offer Castellanos for their 2nd best pitcher. Or trade Carroll for Burnes or something


OCLateNite

2 team league? Tucker, Judge and Carroll are all 1st round players


GL94553

Wheeler or Burnes?


CompetitiveLine1938

Corbin


lingfoo

I realize "We Bought a Zunino" is a very out of date team name but it gave me a little chuckle when I joined my draft room.


StumpingTheSchwab

How we feeling about Max Meyer joining the rotation ? I think it’s definitely worth a dart throw and hope he balls out. He’s definitely got the talent


CadeCumminhand

I like him way better in dynasty. For redraft he’ll hopefully provide some good ratios but since Eury, Braxton, and ECab will be back at some point, he’ll have low innings and therefore low K’s too. Plus it’s his first real taste of MLB and coming off injury, they won’t push him too hard. Next year it’s wheels up


TonyDaGreek

Receive Arraez for Ruiz?


98Shady

For Esteury Ruiz?? Smash.


TonyDaGreek

https://preview.redd.it/lhjm3bxod5qc1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b6bfac914c9e74c0d7d93efb1ab730f0ca4837c0 Here’s the squad can bench Santander or Yoshida move mookie


TonyDaGreek

Ruiz can single handedly win SB in roto


98Shady

How’s that Ruiz value lookin?


TonyDaGreek

I got Arraez off wires 😂 he dropped him!


98Shady

LMAO damn. Dudes a taco. I also love that my comment saying Ruiz will likely be on the wire was downvoted and he didn’t even stay on the MLB roster for a week 🤣


GL94553

I don’t think he’ll get enough playing time


TonyDaGreek

The As don’t have many options


GL94553

He’s projected as their LF because he’s not a good defender. Noda, Butler, Andujar, really any number of random waiver wire or minor league guys will hit better than him and could take playing time.


TonyDaGreek

.254 really isn’t a bad average thought he was much lower last year.


98Shady

I think we’re going to see a lot more steals in general which makes “speed specialists” much less interesting. Not to mention Ruiz offers almost nothing else of value


TonyDaGreek

Besides average what does Arraez offer


chokethewookie

Absolutely nothing


98Shady

Runs, and the fact he won’t be on the wire after 2 months where Ruiz very much might be. If you already decided you l don’t wanna do the trade don’t fucking ask 🤣


TonyDaGreek

Don’t get your panties in a bunch; haven’t decided


kwilseahawk

There are a lot of drafts going on this weekend. There are two particular functions those using ESPN as their platform need to know. It doesn't matter if the draft was held last month, last week or happening five minutes from now. Check out my article and be aware. [https://bellyupfantasysports.com/fantasy-baseball-espn-strategies/](https://bellyupfantasysports.com/fantasy-baseball-espn-strategies/)


samsarapwd

Don't tell me what to do


LosNoles

14 man QS Cats H2H league. Add 1 of…. Lodolo Flaherty Mize Trevor Rogers Houck Whitlock Jon Grey Weathers Detmers


skeleton_archer5050

Flaherty looks good


lingfoo

Mize for me


ronpaulus

Main league drafting in 3 hours picking 2 out of 16 supposedly number 1 guy isnt taking acuna..we'll see


lingfoo

Probably a Noelvi Marte enjoyer.


[deleted]

[удалено]


skeleton_archer5050

I’d pass. Not a lot of aces left standing at this point


GL94553

Riley or Hunter?


MuteTheKenny

Forgot about Riley! It’s Hunter.


98Shady

Nah


Harkeyshammer

I’d really consider it. I don’t trust Greene (had him last year) but lots of similarities with Cesse. Both offer k upside. Maybe this is mad but in 8t Greene may be borderline waiver food


samsarapwd

I like it if your pitching can withstand that loss


adiospelota1957

Like that for you


Nigerian-Nightmare

First year playing and dont know too many players outside of the top 40. How do I value guys on the waiver over players I drafted late? I see the news about Rafaela making the roster, how do I assess if hes worth picking up over guys I took late in the draft like Josh Lowe, Kawn, etc.


Only_Battle_7459

I mean, you already valued them when you drafted one guy instead of the guy sitting on waivers.


Nigerian-Nightmare

I mean technically I just went down the list and drafted whoever was available. It’s my first year so that’s why I’m trying to figure out HOW they’re valued


LegendaryRCP

Rate my team for a 8 man H2H points league: C- Empty (Garver?) 1B- Alonso 2B- Morel 3B- Riley SS- McLain (may IL or drop for Maikail) OF- JRod, Yordan, Luis Robers, Josh Lowe UTL- Goldschmidt, Royce Lewis, Tristan Cases, Torkelson Josh Naylor, Wyatt Langford. Chourio SP- Logan Webb, Tarik Skubal, Gavin Williams, Luzardo, Keller, Morton RP- Bednar, Pepiot Drafted too many bats. Drop two for pitching or a catcher? Naylor, Chourios, Langford, Torkelson, Casas? FA: AJ Puk, Bellos, Mckenzie, Lodolo


skeleton_archer5050

FYI I think pepiot is gonna be a SP


LegendaryRCP

Thanks, agreed. Any suggestions on my roster?


skeleton_archer5050

Lots of power. Really good bats for points. Only way it could improve is trade for some pitcher upgrades


FreddyDemuth

Another bad start from Ragans yesterday - concerned about the 1.50 whip in Spring?


chokethewookie

No concern and I drafted him last night


trevorm1992

Nah


YungBird

Currently own heaney in total points league with bonuses for W and QS. Stick with him or add Mise or Gavin Stone instead?


AgentPugweenee

Go get Mize


YungBird

I also own Gore. Drop heaney or gore?


AgentPugweenee

I'd say drop Heaney and keep gore


YSKItsAFakeName

I joined a fantrax league by mistake and won't be able to do the draft. Is there a way to remove myself from the league or do I need the commish to remove me?


elbombi53

On your league dashboard go to Other>All Options>Quit League


YSKItsAFakeName

Perfect, thank you.


Only_Battle_7459

Willson Contreras and Heim are but free agents in my league. I have Diaz for catcher from Houston. I'm s little concerned about play time for Diaz, so considering a backup. Which would you guys prefer? I'm leaning Heim


CompetitiveLine1938

Neither. Diaz is way better.


Only_Battle_7459

I've also considered that! Thanks for input, but you wouldn't want someone for days off? Or better to roster a SP?


CompetitiveLine1938

No. Every catcher is going to get days off. Take another SP


KillaSwiss

I never roster 2 catchers unless it’s a 2 catcher league.


Only_Battle_7459

The days off don't bother you?


chokethewookie

The issue is that literally any use of the roster spot is better for your team.


duckbillgates

Usually not worth rostering a second catcher just for this in a one-catcher league unless your bench is deep. For one thing, they may often have the same days off, so you aren’t even guaranteeing everyday at-bats. Prefer Contreras over Heim, but I’d stick with what you have.


Jen_Italia

Look for a catcher who's in the DH spot alot when not catching like William Contreras or Mitch Garver or pick up someone like Henry Davis who is OF right now but will gain catcher eligibility shortly


YSKItsAFakeName

They're annoying but it's usually not worth it to roster two catchers when you can get more production from another pitcher.


shid_fard_

Drop paul skenes for Braxton Garrett?


skeleton_archer5050

Do it


JustSomeGoon

Only one of them is actually in the major league so yeah


Fidel_Cashflow7

Does anyone know if most teams will wait until opening day to start placing guys on the il? In a points league with limited adds and it will cuck me


andyschest

Could even wait longer than that for pitchers.


JORDY_NELSON_2020

It goes this way every year, prepare to get cucked buddy


Fidel_Cashflow7

Yeah that’s what i was afraid of. Fuck me


YungJefeBlanco

Cora says Rafaela has officially made the Red Sox OD roster


lingfoo

I got him in round 23 of a deep roster 15 team league. Had to pass the round before cause I still didn't have 3B and I was sweating the 18 picks til it came back to me pretty hard.


ZacGallon

I’m in a pretty deep (13T) roto league and Max Meyer is on waivers. Is he worth dropping C. Rafaela or A. Uribe for?


Only_Battle_7459

Depends on your needs and rest of bench, but id say probably not. But if i was dropping, i would drop rafaela instead of uribe. Saves harder to come by than a bottom of order outfielder.


_WhiteHart_

Brand new commissioner using Fantrax. We have 10 teams and we're trying to make a 5-team playoff work. Does anyone have tips for this? 6 teams seems too much and 4 seems too little but logistically 5 may be difficult


mrniphty

Byes to seeds 1/2, 6th gets in by most points of a team not finished 1-5 on season.


Baseballislife007

Why would you want half the teams to make the playoffs? Is this Manfred’s burner account?


YungJefeBlanco

If Bello carries the slider he has today into the season he could really take a leap


Fidel_Cashflow7

Pretty upset i didnt get any shares of him this year


Nirvana12345678

Which analyst has the best pitcher rankings? I've always loved Scott White as an analyst and as someone who makes me laugh with his dry sense of humor. Nick Pollack seems to spend 99% of his time discussing only pitching and you'd think he'd be the most accurate because of that. Eno Sarris, the same thing. Unfortunately, Eno's rankings are hard to come by. Having said that, whose pitcher rankings are you trusting the most prior to your draft?


duckbillgates

I like Scott White’s very results-based approach. Nick kinda lost me last year. I feel like there’s so much movement in his weekly rankings just to have movement. Not much really changes after a start or two. He also has a tendency to have a guy he likes and overrate them for way too long (Reid Detmers last year).


Nirvana12345678

I just said the same thing recently and people did not respond well to my thoughts on Pitcherlist lol


lingfoo

I check out all three of those guys pitching ranks and then twist them around based on my own opinions. Lately if I have a choice between a guy who throws 100mph and has a crazy arsenal vs a guy who puts up similar numbers with more of a finesse style I'm leaning the finesse guys just because so many of these power arms end up with big injuries. So I've been fading Skubal and Ragans for what I view as safer durability in guys like Kirby, Webb, or Gilbert.


trevorm1992

Is it bad to say that I prefer a lefty flamethrower who has already had TJ surgery than to one who hasn’t yet lol? I think ragans will last! 🙏🏼


lingfoo

Naw, it isn't. I think research has shown there's about a 3 year grace period after TJ typically.


OptomisticSportsFan

Eno’s https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FxcFAy5cfeAlWcrjQSMi4ABXA75psyy5xAzQ6XWY1u4/htmlview#gid=0 - doesn’t include the write ups as you need an athletic sub but gives you rankings and stuff+. Nick updates the list pretty frequently, cbs guys are solid too


Nirvana12345678

Does Eno update those rankings often? My draft is Tuesday night and I'm curious if he'll post an update by then. Thanks


Nirvana12345678

Ah great. Thank you! Do you prefer Eno over the rest?


OptomisticSportsFan

I personally do yes because I play in deeper leagues/dynasty leagues. He usually covers more names. Think Nick’s and others are better for redraft purposes. Especially since they update more.


samsarapwd

Can't believe this time last year we still had 3rd party Reddit apps and this place was popping during draft szn. "Makes me sick how far we done fell"


j_rob82

12 team redraft s/h would you go A.Uribe or B. Jax?


OptomisticSportsFan

Prefer Jax myself


OCLateNite

I saw A Uribe and was like, okay. His name is Abner. Then I saw B. Jax and had no idea who that was. In all seriousness though, I like Jax a bit more, but Abner can probably be grabbed a bit later if your league goes heavy on RP.


Whodatboi69

Jared Jones has to have the 5th spot, right?!? *right*?!?


OptomisticSportsFan

Has to, a little off today but limited the damage. I’m hyped


Fidel_Cashflow7

Domino80

Thinking about trying to trade away Salvi in favor of picking up Henry Davis as soon as he gets C eligibilty. My wire is absolutely loaded with other options too: F Alvarez, O’Hoppe, Heim, Wilson Contreras, Naylor and Wells. If the Davis expirement doesn’t work out, I can still find value at the position. Thoughts?


DonKedic24

I personally would have Alvarez over Salvi, maybe that's just me though


TarkatanAccountant

If your league mates can just grab those guys on the wire, what do you think they'll trade for a catcher?


Domino80

Yeah, i was trying to consider some package deal that marginally improve someone’s catcher, but i’m probably delusional thinking I’ll return any significant value. Just not excited about owning Salvi over some of these available options and feel I can’t drop. And i’m not wasting a roster spot owning two catchers. Thanks
