In retrospect Dellin Betances was the best setup man to draft because he can't get shelled on the IL.

fawning deference posted:Anywho, what's Jose Alvarado's deal? Is he the closer? He has 4 saves but he's been getting holds lately. He's pretty nasty and I'm close to getting him in a trade for Tyler Glasnow (it's a league where starters have way less value than relievers, the only starter exclusive category is QS and the scoring is heavy on rate stats). I figure even if he gets holds (holds is a category) instead of saves he should have a dominant year. I figure the Rays will probably swap him and Castillo in the 9th. If you count SV and H, he should be a great pickup since he'll rack up Ks along with the other ones.

Yeah talk about Greene giving me 10 saves after going undrafted in my league where people were snapping up closers in the 4th round. Also side note it feels like there's a bunch of hitters out there sapping the powers of legitimate, consistent hitters. Too many random people hitting above .350 and too many hitting below .200.

His peripherals are fine. Batted ball data and all the statcast poo poo is good, FIP is good. His LOB% is like 50% so he’s pretty much getting garbage sequencing luck and should right the ship soon

Should I try to buy low on Sale? I kind of want to since his velocity has been up, but I have no idea what would be good value for him right now. I have Foltynewicz coming off the IL that I could offer, would that be enough? Should I offer more? Or should I stay away from Sale?

What is the consensus on Correa? Aside from injury risks? Seems to me like he is quietly putting up an OPS around .850 and hitting more line drives and less grounders. Still K's a ton but I feel like he is a good buy-low.

Who wins in a H2H? Aaron Judge, Eugenio Suarez, and Dylan Bundy for Carlos Carrasco, Jesus Aguilar, David Dahl, and Jose Leclerc? I'd be giving up a big haul for the two hitters, dropping Bundy for two roster spots. Roster spots seem to be gold in this league because people keep dropping good players. I keep resetting my waiver position, so I hope no one really good gets dropped

Simpsons Reference posted:Who wins in a H2H? I want to say the Judge side, but I'm also pessimistic about his injury (it's hard not to be given the rest of my baseball boys getting hurt.) Aguilar and Leclerc aren't guys I would lose sleep over trading right now (unless you're really desperate for saves), so I guess it's a matter of if you think Carrasco and Dahl are worth Judge and Suarez.

It is Week 4 and ESPNs alerts are still completely non-functional. No alerts about benched players, injuries, rainouts.... Nothing at all.

Would you do this trade? This is the ROTO league in which I am changing my strategy and punting starting pitchers. AVG, OBP, SLG, H, R, HR, RBI, SB IP, QS, SV, HLD, ERA, WHIP, K/BB, K/9 I would give: Clayton Kershaw Tyler Glasnow I would get: Jose Alvarado Daniel Murphy I would still have Price and Flaherty to trade. Here is my roster if I made this trade: C: Astudillo 1B: Voit 2B: JRamirez 3B: Suarez SS: Mondesi CI: Bruce MI: Murphy OF: Trout OF: Markakis OF: Soto Util: FReyes Util: E Escobar DL: Meadows (would replace Escobar or Bruce upon return) BN: Smith Jr (will drop) SP: Price SP: Flaherty SP: Guerra SP: CFerguson RP: Leclerc RP: Alvarado P: Barnes P: Burdi P: Neris P: HRondon BN: Urias BN: Matz (gonna drop soon) DL: Betances This would give me an elite bullpen I think - I would probably try to deal Flaherty and Price for an even better hitting upgrade. Am I not asking enough back? Basically, my only hitch is that Murphy is coming back from a broken finger and that might affect his hitting. But he always hits for average and he's playing in Coors. And despite some control issues, Alvarado is awesome. fawning deference fucked around with this message at 02:15 on Apr 23, 2019 |

JMO, but I think that trade has the potential to hurt you real bad. I have Alvarado and I like him. You're right, he's got great stuff. But to me Murphy's about as exciting as watching paint dry. Yay, great on base skills, but there's almost 0 chance you get 20 homers or double digit steals. Meanwhile, this might be the worst time to try and sell Clayton Kershaw in his career. I remember when Verlander was running on fumes with the Tigers and everyone said he was done and you could get him for a song and a Sam Fuld. To me Kershaw is in potentially a similar spot. He was once known as the greatest starting pitcher on the planet and although his career is at a crossroads because of the injuries, he's still only 31. Not only that, but you're also throwing in a younger starter who has been hotter than anyone. I'd be more inclined to deal Glasnow than Kershaw at this moment personally, but I do think you could do much better.

I think I'll sit Chris Sale bc my pitching has been rear end this year, so I eagerly anticipate him throwing 7 shutout innings with 13 k's.

Yeah, I don't really get that. I've never played IP before, is that a negative stat? It seems to me like with QS you'd want some horses. Good starters have much more of a positive impact on your team ERA and WHIP than relievers due to volume.

It's true that starters pitch more innings but a dominant reliever's rate stats are so much better than guys like Price and Glasnow and Flaherty will wind up with - the strategy I am going for is punting quality starts and trying to win saves, holds, and all the rate stat categories, while also being in the mix for IP if I have several relievers going for me every night. IP is just a counting stat, so even if I'm middle of the pack there and 2nd to last in QS (someone has already employed the relievers-only strategy and they're in first, leading in all the rate stats) and I think it's a good idea to follow suit rather than rely on starting pitching, which seems almost completely random so far. I'm last in ERA despite having four excellent pitchers, plus Matz, plus a good bullpen. Pitchers are volatile as hell. Kershaw has injury risks associated with him. I'm dangling Kershaw and Glasnow and Price in trade talks and nobody wants starting pitchers if it means they have to give up an A- hitter or reliever because starters aren't as valuable. I think Murphy will probably hit 20 homeruns in Coors and is a lock to hit .300 if he's healthy the rest of the year. I'll withhold accepting and keep trying to shop around but I think my options are grim. The guy who offered me this deal wouldn't upgrade to Correa nor would he do Alvarado for either Kershaw or Glasnow 1-for-1. fawning deference fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Apr 23, 2019 |

I think you should ask for more from Glasnow and Kershaw but the offer you have isn't necessarily bad, especially in a redraft.

Inspector_666 posted:I think you should ask for more from Glasnow and Kershaw but the offer you have isn't necessarily bad, especially in a redraft. Yeah, it's a keeper league with six keepers but I doubt I keep either of those two. Maybe I'm just getting too frustrated too early, but I've had several years in a row of not placing top 5 and I don't have time for this, haha! My hitters need to wake up and my pitching has been strangely awful because I've been "playing matchups" and it has backfired. Also, starters seldom even go 6 or 7 innings anymore, they're babied by managers and I've had instances this season where a pitcher who has been dominant for 5 innings gets two outs in the 6th and then allows a hit and a walk, is at 100 pitches, and gets yanked, so I don't get the QS. I think dealing with starters is stress-inducing when it comes to managing fantasy baseball teams and I would rather just have an army of really good relievers and better hitting at this point.

I'm last in ERA despite having four excellent pitchers, plus Matz, plus a good bullpen. My take would be a little different. Since the rest of the league is putting a tremendous value on RP because they want those K rates and SV+HLD, I would try and win the other categories. They're just as valuable, but because starters have been getting hammered in the early going (not just starters BTW, of which you're fully aware as a LeClerc owner) their perceived value is lower in your format. I would try and get as many high k innings eaters as I could and then try and hit on 8th inning guys and punt saves if I had to. Seems like the better bet given your existing team, league's perceptions, etc. But do you man. Just my .02, I don't like that deal for you.

Ten strikeouts for Sale ...against a weak lineup, with wildly fluctuating fastball velocity, leaning heavily on the slider, and needed almost 100 pitches to get thru 5 innings, so he's not BACK just yet. But an encouraging start IMO.
