I just realized that I grabbed Shaw as an FA in late April after another team in my 12-teamer dropped him.

That's worked out pretty well since I traded Myers a week later.

I'd imagine it'd be Swarzak, up to the point where he also gets traded. Then I have no idea.

After like 6 weeks of extreme discomfort I think my Judge-for-Machado trade is finally bearing some fruit.

So, who are the best waiver wire pickups of 2017? Alex Wood? Judge, if he went undrafted in your league?

I missed out on Wood everywhere, which pisses me off because I've been a fan since he was with the Braves. Got Judge in a couple leagues though.

Then there's Brad Peacock, who is 6-1 with a 2.9 ERA and 12 K/9 since joining the Astros' rotation.

Dickerson, Peacock, Holland potentially, Simmons I guess if you punted SS, Santana-ish, and Shaw all come to mind

All three went undrafted in HGH and Centaurs because they are not linked to mythological paintings or PEDs.

I couldn't start him today because Yahoo took forever to put Polanco on the DL :argh:

At least my opponent is having the most incredible pitching week I've ever seen so it doesn't matter anyway :shobon:

Alex Bregman, despite an incredibly disappointing start, has been heating up lately, and just picked up SS eligibility in Yahoo.

:derp:   :kayak:                                     
PSA about the Yahoo rankings: The "total" rankings for pitchers are always hosed up because they don't account for inning count in their rankings. So if a pitcher has 200 IP of 3.00 ERA and 1.00 WHIP, his "total" ranking for those categories will count the same as an RP with those same stats who only pitched 9 innings. So basically all RPs rankings are too high and all SP rankings are too low.

Also in the "pre-season" ranking they adjust for position, but in the "current" ranking they don't. That affects catchers the most. They all appear to be underperforming if you compare pre-season and current. But their real values are more in line with the preseason way of rating.

Yeah Bregman's been added and dropped a bunch in my Yahoo leagues but I had to grab him when he got SS. Should be an upgrade over Villar since he plays every day, at least.

Do I bench McCullers this week?

I sort of have a glut of pitching options with only one 2 starter on my roster:

Nola/Fiers (matched up), Godley, and/or Bundy? I need two.

Normally Bundy would be out of this list but he's handled Texas so far this season.

I'm in 1st (10 team 5x5 H2H) but I had a terrible week and my lead is slim, who's got some sage pitching advice, besides "gently caress pitching"?

Rest of SP: deGrom, Wood, R. Hill
