I won my dynasty league last year, and I'm stoked to start fantasy baseball again this year! I just don't know if I should keep Todd Frazier or Adam Duvall...

You made out, but I really like Hamilton this year. He really came on in the 2nd half last year. 36 steals in 45 games, batting .293 over that time. He finished the year with an OBP of .321, which isn't bad. He's also improved every year. If he could make even another small step to a .270/.335 hitter, he could dominate a steals category all by himself. In both Roto and H2H.

When there's 7 pitching categories, punting saves will barely hurt you. I wouldn't stress too much about it, and I wouldn't be trying to trade for a closer.

I got smoked in every league this week. I suppose at least it's different this year. In all 3 I drafted for hitters, and in all 3 I had really good pitching and my hitters utterly poo poo the bed. gently caress... hitting?

IcePhoenix posted:In hindsight, Miggy Cabs getting hurt may have been a blessing in disguise because it got me to pick up Jedd "eligible for the entire infield" Gyrko to fill in while he was out. He was maybe the MVP of the end of my season last season too for that same reason. He's super streaky, so infinite positions combined with a hot streak makes for an awesome few weeks.

Is CarGo droppable at this point? We're past the point of "cold streak." It's been 112 ABs. That's nearly a quarter of the season he's been utterly putrid.

Spoeank posted:By the way the CBS podcast has a host named Heath Cummings who is Teemu Pokemon in my head canon Yeah I have Nelson Cruz and AJ Pollock (and now Bellinger) so I'm not desperate anymore. I had kept CarGo and drafted Bautista, so things were a little grim for a while. I also have Frazier, who's also done gently caress-all, and Jose Abreu had a really slow start. My hitting has come around now, which is why I'm wondering if it's worth stashing CarGo. It probably is, but I could use the pitching help. Also having terrible Keeper's Remorse over keeping Frazier instead of Duvall. I agonized over that for a long time. I chose poorly.

Huh, how 'bout that. That actually isn't that terrible. If this was a total dynasty league, I'd actually probably do that. (I'm also the idiot that traded Wainwright for Profar, clearly I love me some over-hyped rookies.) I don't think I can justify trading CarGo for someone that just had TJS, though. He would eat a roster spot all year, and then a keeper spot to boot. All for a possible payoff in 2 years. I keep forgetting that CarGo is only 31. He's just injured so much I always envision him as a broken old man.

Schweinhund posted:I got Bellinger, Gallo and Zimmerman off waivers. My offense is awesome. I went into the season with Byung Ho Park as my starting 1B since I missed out on the top tier guys and figured it would be better to get someone off waivers than overpay for mid tier guys like Abreu/Agonz/Pujols. so far it's worked out pretty well. Nice. Zimmerman has been godlike so far. I wish I owned any shares of him. This team has Bellinger, Gallo, Castro, and Mark Reynolds from waivers. Pretty happy with that. (We won't mention that I drafted Thames and dropped him. No, let's not mention that...)

My bullpen is outstanding though. I'm in the top 3 in every offensive stat (12 team league), yet I'm 13-15 in those categories for the year. H2H is a fickle bitch.

One guy in the league has built a super outfield of Benintendi, Judge and Trea Turner all without ever needing a number one waiver. That guy's team is sick. He also has Freddie Freeman and JD Martinez. And Scherzer. His team gonna be good for a long time. Re: ESPN or Yahoo, I like Yahoo's search functionality more. I wish it didn't refresh the entire page for every little thing, though. I like how much faster ESPN is for everything. Both apps are kinda meh. Yahoo really needs an easier way to look at the opponent's roster for that day. ESPN needs to stop logging me out every couple weeks.

Xander Bogaerts is slugging .448 without a single home run. That would break the all-time record of .442, and shatter the record of .366 in the last 25 years.

Would need to see the rest of your scoring to say for sure, but it certainly looks like you are overpaying. Gallo literally only hurts in Avg, and $5 to keep him is incredibly good.

I thought there was a chance he had developed into an actual stud. I didn't actually think he did (hence my hesitation in keeping him), but I thought there was a chance. He was the 10th out of 10 I chose. The others in the running were Matz (who is always hurt) and Duvall. I really wish I'd kept Duvall.

I think it was an AND trade, which makes it even worse. If your team is done, I certainly wouldn't trade a young decent pitcher for a guy on the wrong side of 40.

Doltos posted:I have like 13 rosterable hitters on my team with another 5 or so in free agency. They're all too valuable to drop for competition and not performing well enough to guarantee starts so they take turns hitting dingers on my bench Same. With Pollock nearing a return, I have too many hitters for not enough spots. 3 OF and 2 UTIL, and Cruz, Bellinger, and Pollock are the OF. M. Reynolds is a given for one of the UTIL, then it's a toss-up of Gallo, CarGo, and Bautista for the last UTIL. And I also have both Tom Murphy and Alex Avila. Can't decide if I can afford to jettison either one at this point. Avila has been monstrous this year, but Murphy in Coors... I'm honestly back to my earlier position of potentially dropping CarGo or Bautista. We're nearly 3 months into the season and they've both been awful (particularly CarGo. Even his advanced metrics are worrisome, low BABIP aside.) I need to drop someone for Pollock (for the 10-15 games before Pollock inevitably injures himself again, anyway.) My pitching has been mediocre at best, so I really need an open spot or two to stream. It's a conundrum.

April was before he was OPSing nearly 1.000 for 3 months. Granderson is garbage, and they brought Cespedes back before he was even 100% healthy. Above all, this guy's team is not good at all. It's totally baffling why he would just straight drop him. (He offered him to me in a trade for Abreu earlier this year which I strongly considered.) He's rostering Wilson Ramos when he already has Gary Sanchez, for instance.
