I expect .300 and 30 bombs from Corey Seager this year, and that's being conservative, I think he's got more power than that. Maybe not in 2017, he's still so young, but soon.

My h2h team's pitching thus far in my first week: 45.2 IP, 47 K, 1.38 ERA, 0.88 Whip, 3w, 3s. So far I like pitching more than last year.

Is it too early for me to start trying to build a trade centered around my Goldschmidt for his Harper?

also, gallo looks like a professional ballplayer now. do whatever you can to get him. trust me. his power in that stadium is a recipe for 40+ easy.

yea, but they can't justify keeping him out of the lineup if he's actually figured it out. his power is stantonian and he walks at a drat good clip. it'll probably be rocky going in terms of playing time for april, sure, but i think he's worth it. upside is just too high.

Today was opening day for the high A Lansing Lugnuts, and Vlad Guerrero Jr. hit a HR in his first game there! After one day of ball (a doubleheader) he's at 2/5 with 2 BB, for an OPS of 1.571 and OBP .571. He just turned 18 a couple weeks ago. I won't come here bearing Vlad updates again for quite awhile since he's at least a year away from the bigs, but I'm pumped about his nice first day atm.

Doltos posted:Wasn't Seager's babip through the roof last year? this is really the heart of the matter with seager. some people believe he didn't change his approach and was just lucky with opposite field hits. others believe he was trying for the opposite field and spreading the ball. if the former, yes, he was lucky. if the latter, not so much. from everything i and my freshman scouting eyes have seen over the past season and this season, it sure seems like he's spreading the ball. his homer this year was a relatively effortless opposite field bomb. he kind of has an inside out swing, a bit more pronounced this season even. i don't know, i'm a full believer. really weird hitter no matter how you slice it, though. his swing seems somewhat normal at first, but then you start analyzing it and it just gets weirder.

EDIT: Two teams make this trade today: Team A gets: Daniel Murphy, Nomar Mazara, Sean Manaea Team B gets: Stephen Piscotty, Fernando Rodney, Kelvin Herrera, Adam Wainwright Am I wrong in thinking Team B got totally fleeced? Piscotty is nothing special, Rodney is trash, Herrera is OK and I guess Wain-o is an upgrade over Manaea, but what the gently caress. The only 1B on Team B's roster now is Greg Bird. EDIT2: Apparently the owner of Team A is notorious for just bombarding people with trade reqs until they give in. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Apr 9, 2017 |

I feel this is a really dumb question but will ask anyway. Steals arent worth poo poo in my league for whatever reason (Billy Hamilton p much never has left the wire in the 4 years ive been in this league) that being said Who is the better pick up h2h points, Ozuna or Margot?

the_american_dream posted:Who is the better pick up h2h points, Ozuna or Margot? People seem to really believe in Margot's power surge, so I would say him. The rest of their lines project to be pretty similar (Margot with a lower OBP) so the steals should just be icing. EDIT: Team with Melancon and Robertson - 0 SV this week Team with Bedrosian and Holland - 3 SV this week Man I hope Scioscia keeps Bedrosian in the closer role.

How many relievers should I carry in a 12 team, 6x6 h2h league that has saves and holds (as two separate categories)? It's standard roster size for yahoo, 23 total, with some quirks: there's a 30IP min each week and a max of 70 aquisitions for the year. I have four relievers, and it seems like not enough, but there are some good guys on the WW that I can't seem to make room for...

That makes it tough. I was going to say carry more relievers and spot start, but that transaction limit... Can't go all RP either. Could you possibly punt one RP category?

In leagues that count saves and holds, I like to draft one or two elite non-closers (Betances, Miller, Neris, Brach, maybe BearClaw), let everyone else draft the big name closers and get mine from the bargain bin (Treinen and Bedrosian are on most of my teams this year). I've noticed in holds leagues that lots of people ignore the category in the draft, and then only roster one setup guy, or punt the category entirely. So, how many holds guys do the other teams have? If they mostly have 0 or 1, then you don't need 3 or 4.
