I was pretty much cruising to something like a 10-2 win all week and then my opponent's Joe Musgrove threw basically a perfect game. Baseball!

Guys I regret drafting (so far), volume 2,931:

Mike Yastrzemski -- I foresee a recovery, at least I hope

Jordan Hicks -- he has a 0.00 ERA but no saves and one hold in 4.1 innings (I thought he'd close more games)

Bobby Dalbec -- Tempted to bail on him but I have him in a 20-team league so it's slim pickings on the wire. Travis Shaw is the #1 pick up available right now, but I've been burned by Shaw before and don't trust his production will hold.

I don't understand what the Cardinals are doing with their closer given they've already said they wanted Reyes to start again next year? I guess they just gave up on that?

Reyes has an innings limit of 100 IP so they don't want him starting all year.

I know they don't want him starting this year but it just seems like making him the closer means he'll throw way fewer innings than they would want him to.

Yaz got drilled by a pitch on his hand and now he's awful. I hope he does recover soon. If not he's hiding an injury.

My thinking is he is either injured or scared of the ball hitting his hand again.

I dropped him in one Yahoo league. Still holding in a couple others. The power is legit and man, if he's batting 5th in that lineup and hitting dingers.... But yeah I think he might just suck. Zero XBH this year, bad K/BB ratio, 50% groundball/ 19% flyball. .230 career hitter.

Braves don't have much behind him at 3rd: Panda and Ehire Adrianza. So Riley's playing time seems secure unless he really tanks. Which he is doing so far.

12 team roto, standard categories, what do you guys think of this:

I give: Rhys Hoskins, Craig Kimbrel, Hector Neris

I get: Gerrit Cole, Luke Voit

I have Hosmer to sub in for Rhys, and I'll probably use the extra roster spot for streaming. If I do this I'll have no closers, but on the other hand, I will have Gerrit Cole.

I would 100 percent do that. Voit is an upgrade and about 3 weeks away from return and Cole is a top player.

you absolutely do this 10000 times out of 10000 times. you are getting arguably the best pitcher in baseball for loving nothing.

jesus christ, that is a steal and i would imagine every manager who isn't in this trade will veto this with the force of a thousand suns. good luck explaining that isn't collusion.

Do you all use a weekly moves cap in your leagues? Our cap is 7 transactions per week and this guy is Real Mad because he already hit it and can't fill a full lineup with all his injuries.
