Marlins activated Elieser Hernandez and he's starting against the Pirates today. SP with high strikeout numbers thanks to a nasty slider. Worth a look in deep leagues.

Tonight is where I'm drawing the line with Luis Castillo. We're 1/3 of the way through the season. A good number of fantasy baseball analysts have been saying, "Don't drop him. He'll quite possibly transform into a top-30 (or so) pitcher for the remainder of the season."

Well, that SOB has been bogging my already mediocre team down for this long, but if he doesn't perform well tonight, THAT'S IT!

YOU HEAR THAT, LUIS? This could be the end of the line!


[^^ Hopefully that motivates him to turn his season around]

I accidentally* traded Castillo and Joey Gallo for Justin Turner and Marco Gonzalez after their first starts. I'm glad he's been bad because I dropped Marco a million years ago.

*I was taking a poo poo and doing some bathroom fantasy somehow missed the exact contours of this trade, I think because Yahoo's UI is so bad. I was too embarrassed to say anything so I let it go. Don't poo poo and trade y'all.

I just noticed that almost every team in my league has a bad ERA this week. Did every pitcher stop using pine tar at once? :laugh:

Actually, it's quite possible yes. MLB just announced 10 game suspensions for using substances (which every drat pitcher does.)

Guess they're tired of having a .230 batting average for the entire league.

Has ESPN always allowed trades where one team doesn't get anything back? A trade was accepted in one of my leagues of Nick Castellanos for literally nothing. It's a public league so I'm not really surprised about the bullshit factor, but I can't think of any reason to allow that kinda thing in redraft other than supporting collusion.

Lol, one of the owners involved in this trade messaged the league, it was supposed to be Castellanos for Trout, and Trout just didn't move over, maybe because he's on the IL. That's quite the bug there.

He's been an above-average hitter for a little bit now, but he either lost time due to his glove or couldn't stay healthy. The NL DH last year was a godsend for him.

the Yahoo player notes are so bad. This was their note on Mondesi yesterday "It's safe to say that he's closing in on a minor league rehab assignment." He's in the Royals lineup TODAY, not on a rehab assignment. They mess stuff up like this so often.

They pull that stuff straight from nbcsportsedge.com (formally rotoworld.com) they don't write any of it.

In their defense they wrote that yesterday morning and a couple hours later issued an update saying he was skipping the rehab assignment and being taken off IL before the game.

But yeah, they pull that stuff from a third party. Ignoring it and getting Twitter updates is the way to go.



Edit: I have an issue with them always being a day off on starters a few days out from their scheduled start. They always have them starting a day before they are supposed to and doesn’t seem to fix itself until they are a day or two away from their start.

I'll probably drop him and monitor his next start vs. The Dodgers. But that's in a 10 teamer. In bigger leagues I guess just bench him.

Sorry for the post about MY TEAM but I’m kind of at a bit of crossroads at what I need to do. I’m bottom 4 I’m standings and not looking like I win this week. I’m one of those teams that the “good teams” are just offering bullshit trades but some are a couple of win now offers that I still have chosen to stand Pat on. All I silly for thinking this team SHOULD turn it on and make a run?

Navaez
Abreu
McMahon
Muncy (IL)
Lindor
Mancini
Soto
Meadows
Gallo
Adam Frazier
Andujar
Mercedes
Villar
Edman
Canha
Springer (IL)


12 team. Likely dropping Mercedes when springer comes back. I don’t really think I can trade for anything better than I have offensively but hell I’m losing so I’m probably wrong

How many batting positions are there for your league, like how many hitters can you start each day? First impression is it looks like you have too many hitters. You should only have 2, maybe 3 bench bats. But if you're desperate I'd drop it to 2 or maybe even 1 and add more pitchers.

10 spots for bats. 4 on the bench for me at the moment.

Not many great arms on the wire right now and of course any arm I try to trade for I immediately get countered for Soto muncy or springer
