Ok so somebody offered me Oh+Mazara+Cishek for Kemp. I'm considering it, but would it be weird/bad for me to tell him to just drop Cishek from the offer entirely? I don't really want to drop anybody for a guy in a closer-by-committee situation who exploded in dramatic fashion his first time out in the 9th.

Yeah, when people say they prefer Yahoo I honestly wonder if they are using some secret version I don't have access to. I'd drop Yahoo altogether but the one league I have that is competitive and where people semi-communucate with each other is on it so I'm stuck with them.

Yahoo's draft interface (and the football interface) is far superior, but ESPN's is better for baseball. I dunno why Yahoo doesn't have columns for BVP and opposing pitcher and all that. It's the opposite of football where ESPN has worthless info and Yahoo has all of the good stuff. I do like not having to hit "submit" after making roster changes on Yahoo, but that's a minor quibble.

Ultimately it's just a minor annoyance outside of one case.

To get off the subjective stuff: Eno Sarris ran the numbers and DL stints are up 50% this season. For the people thinking they wanted to maybe expand the number of DL slots in your league, that figure may help. Eno himself is in favor of it: https://twitter.com/enosarris/status/864901330862718976

I have Maeda and Rich Hill and Ryu it's annoying that they go on the DL so much, but if they're just missing one start it's almost like they're not even on it. Like if a guy pitches on Monday then goes on the DL and starts again next Friday, it's not really hurting you that much.

It's the new 10 day disabled list. With being able to make it retroactive up to five days guys can be on it for only a few days so teams will drop players on it for anything now.

Pandanaut posted:Someone just dropped Schwarber for Lewis Brinson. Our league  . Pandanaut posted:I don't even know a thing about Happ, but I just hope he is keeper worthy. One guy in the league has built a super outfield of Benintendi, Judge and Trea Turner all without ever needing a number one waiver. That guy's team is sick. He also has Freddie Freeman and JD Martinez. And Scherzer. His team gonna be good for a long time. Re: ESPN or Yahoo, I like Yahoo's search functionality more. I wish it didn't refresh the entire page for every little thing, though. I like how much faster ESPN is for everything. Both apps are kinda meh. Yahoo really needs an easier way to look at the opponent's roster for that day. ESPN needs to stop logging me out every couple weeks.

I always viewed the DL as the price to pay for picking dudes with injury histories. I suppose the new shorter DL is getting guys on quick stints but that's not that big of a deal either.

If you have any twins or rockies players you may want to swap them out tonight, or at least keep an eye on the game status. It's pouring right now and the forecast doesn't look like it'll let up.

Who would you rather have out of: Edwin Diaz/Corey Knebel? Odubel Herrera/Kevin Pillar/Matt Holliday/Keon Broxton/Ian Happ? Robbie Ray/Lance Lynn/Eduardo Rodriguez/Aaron Nola/Trevor Cahill/Charlie Morton/Luis Perdomo (pick 3)? Standard 10-team 5x5 roto, I'm good on steals and K's, middling on runs, wins, and saves (although right now Justin Wilson is my only closer because of the K-Rod/Diaz implosions), and seriously hurting on homers, RBI, average, ERA, and WHIP.

yourdadsbestfriend posted:Who would you rather have out of: Knebel, without hesitation. He's a closer right now, Diaz is not. He also has the underlying skills to keep the job in Mil. I'd take Pillar or Holliday for OF right now. Happ maybe, but the odds are really high he ends up back in AAA sooner rather than later. Herrera and Broxton are gonna be AVG anchors right now, so why not play the hot hand? Morton, Rodriguez, Lynn/Ray. I would have said Cahill and maybe Perdomo over one of the non-Morton guys, but you say you don't need Ks and need Wins, and that's not really the Padres' bag right now. Same for Nola, even though he's probably #2 on the list in overall quality. Morton for sure though, dude is crazy this year. EDIT: And Cahill just hit the 10-day so...

the Tigers scratched Miggy late as gently caress. Although the way he's going, that might just be saving me AVG

I was laughing so hard I almost could not click decline. *laughing too hard* *hits accept* In my non-goon, 12-team league it is amazing how everybody is trying to pressure me into trades constantly. Apparently this happens every year (my brother invited me and confirms it) but people seem genuinely hurt that I don't want to entertain their offers. I accepted a deal that sent my Kris Bryant for Josh Donaldson and Greg Holland which I guess marked me? But that's like...a good trade. Now they want me to deal Villar for spare parts. Which I'm actually near doing, I'm in full on panic mode about Villar.

Have one guy in my league this year who was sending volumes of "3 trash players for one stud" etc etc. one day I sent him ~dozen proposals of my Duvall for his mookie + Correa. Every time he decline, I sent another. Dude finally stopped sending me trades.
