I'm in 3rd in my 12-teamer H2H and I think I can make a run at this, although losing Stras and Kersh doesn't help. The guy in dead last, 3-11-1, has both Lindor and Machado. My biggest need is SS, where I'm currently running DeJong or Baez. I'm just not sure if I can swing a trade that won't screw me or just get veto'd. Anybody got any advice for navigating these rapids? My roster:   His roster:  EDIT: Oh poo poo my brother is in 9th and has Segura, maybe time to work him over. Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 04:26 on Jul 27, 2017 |

The Pussy Boss posted:As someone who owns Brad Peacock in 3 leagues and Mike Fiers in one, I'd really like to know how the Astros rotation will shake out when Keuchel comes off the DL tomorrow. Quintana is 100% locked into his rotation spot barring injury. Houston's rotation is way more up in the air, especially if they're as heavily into trade talks as the rumors say.

It would be great if the Braves could trade Johnson so that Arodys can take over as closer. Also if Preller could overplay his hand and end up keeping Hand, that would also be great. Or if whoever gets him keeps him at closer...

Gray to the Yankees, shouldn't change much for him fantasy-wise, right? Obviously home park gets smaller, but he's a GB-heavy pitcher. Kintzler to the Nats, which also shouldn't change much because I assume they brought him in to close? Inspector_666 fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Jul 31, 2017 |

Also my decision to start Manaea against the punchless Angels instead of Stroman against the killer Astros...did not work out well.Abel Wingnut posted:yo, don't drop super talented guys. ever. no matter how bad they're doing. they can easily put it together and go insane. Yeah, but I thought Lucroy was the super-talented C on my roster

Is it just straight "Mark as keeper, keep" or what? Because if there's no cost, the case may be made for Villar?

The Pussy Boss posted:You mean Jonathan Villar? I remember him, does he still play baseball? Kind of. It seems like Sogard's magic has worn off and he's out of options though, so maybe he gets his starting role back next year and picks it back up? Like I said, I would only consider it if there's no cost and you can't come up with a good name for the last spot or something.

C is weird because I feel like if you got really lucky/psychic, you could have streamed a competent catcher all year. Guys like Beef and Flowers had really good stretches at certain points.

Stanton went 35th overall, in the 3rd round. With my 3rd round pick, 29th overall I took... Jonathan Villar.  (I did turn Villar, Myers, and K Davis into Springer, C Taylor, and Kershaw though, so I guess I can't be too upset at the end of the day.)

Doltos posted:This is why I hate baseball stats so much. The guys barely hitting above the Mendoza line but his OPS are better than a lot of people because of the crushed dingers. Gallo's usefulness depends so much on league scoring, but if he works, he fuckin' works. I wish I had picked him up in the goon league, where it's OBP/SLG.

Schweinhund posted:Yep. I just have to decide if I want to try to package some up and make a trade to upgrade Sanchez or Bellinger. But a lot of the good keepers are on teams like mine with 4+ good keepers so the only real targets are Arenado, Betts, & Altuve. Altuve would be an upgrade but he's turning 28 and he cost $20 more so I have to think about it. Unless you can get Posey, I would argue that you're not really going to upgrade at C over Sanchez.

Also dropping Judge. That wasn't smart.
