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.

Both my leagues have weekly limits. One is six and the other is 10. The 10 is an adjustment we made before last season started because of Covid. Usually it’s six.

Yeah, you need to have a transaction cap. That dude should just learn to read.

That's a lot of moves to begin with imo. I'm in two leagues, one where the limit is 4, and one where there's no weekly limit but a season limit of 70. I often use all four, but sometimes when my players are in a groove and not getting hurt I don't need to really use them. I like the 4 move limit because I usually press against it but if I'm strategic and prudent end up having a move free on the last day to play with.

We do. My basketball league doesn't and I have ruined the league for refusing to put one in.

Thanks for the input. We are now voting on whether to increase the cap. I voted no because mid-season rule changes are bad news. Dude should just stream a little less.

7 is plenty, the point is that you either get to stream every day or make other pickups, it's part of the game.

I have a limit of 6 in one league and no maximum in the other. But the latter is a 20-team league and, believe me, the players available on the wire are bottom of the barrel most of the time.

Buddy in my 24 team head to head each category league is proposing he trade me Carlos Rodon, Ryu, and Bryce Harper for Acuna. Part of me thinks it's crazy to give up Acuna but the other part of me is tempted. Talk me out of it?

If somebody is offering you deGrom and they're not asking for half your roster in return you should almost assuredly be mashing Accept.

if anything it should be lowered! More than 7 = why bother even having a limit? 4 is good because you have to choose your moments and decide if it's worth it instead of just spam adding anyone who catches your fancy.

Can I drop Eugenio Suarez in an 8-team league without feeling dumb? Was thinking of replacing him with Nick Solak, Ryan McMahon, Alec Bohm, or even Joey Wendle. Suarez is just murdering me in average and seems to have lost the power he had a couple years ago. Just feels like a guy on a downswing in his career.

He was dogshit garbage the first "half" of last season before going back to the dude who murders the baseball, though while hitting .230

Generally in an 8-team I would probably say yes, but those wire replacements don't scream reliable either. Do you have anybody riding the bench who you could drop for one of them and just stash Suarez for a bit?

Someone dropped Laureano in a Yahoo prize league. He's tied for the league lead in steals. I'm gonna try to get him since I can drop Kirilloff who hasn't done dick yet. But how nuts should I go in FAAB bucks? The 8 bags looks fluky; he only stole 15 in 2019+2020. Is he legit?

I didn't play Yahoo leagues last year so it was surprising that FAAB is the default now. Think I liked the old way better. Guessing how much to bid for players stresses me out, lol.

He broke his leg in late 2019 so barely ran in 2020.

8 steals this fast is a little fluky, but he's got wheels. He could reasonably go 20/30.

Lazer Ramon fuckin rules and you should get him (he should do a lot of dingers and steals even if he still ks too much).

This year I've been terrible at guessing how much dudes are worth in FAAB so I would say add a couple to whatever your gut first instinct says.

It only updates on Monday though unfortunately.

You can also see projections for the rest of the year in a roundabout way. Offer a blank trade to someone and click "evaluate trade" and it will show everyone's projections.

Adolis Garcia is my only bench bat but Clint Frazier was cut. I feel like that's worth the swap, what does anyone think? Two utility spot league so between those and the 3 OF spots I usually get 3 or 4 starts a week out of that extra hitter.
