My QS, OBP, Sv/Holds league is my favorite.

OBP is so good that I can never go back to averages. OBP+S is even better.

Tommy Pham feels really underrated in fantasy. He's been a legit 5 category player this year and is owned in only like half the leagues.

Yeah killer ops too if you run that league. He suffers from being on the Cardinals and also having his position tenuously snapped up by the young guys they got that they think can be franchise starters (Grichuk and Piscotty)

I drafted Salazar in all three of my leagues, and I held onto him in all three of my leagues.

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:

So I've been offered a trade and I'm garbage at judging trade value in fantasy baseball. I've been offered:
W. Ramos (c)
C. Bellinger (1b, of)
T. Cahill (sp,rp)
For:
W. Contreras (C,Of)
M. Brantley (of)
Y. Darvish (sp)

Am I wrong for thinking this is terrible? Darvish hasn't been very good, but Contreras and Brantley have been. I'm not desperate for homeruns at all. This is a normal Yahoo pro league and I'm in 6th

E: after about 2 minutes of research I have no idea if this is even or not. For reference I have Miguel Cabrera and Logan Morrison and Marwin Gonzalez as possible first baseman, but Marwin currently occupies my ss spot

I wouldn't do it. Darvish will bounce back and Bellinger is hitting way about his peripherals. Safe play says stand pat, especially if Joe Madden stops loving around with poo poo and leaves Contreras as the cleanup.

Trade question:

R/HR/SB/RBI/OBP/SLG for hitters
W/SV/K/HLD/ERA/WHIP for pitchers

I have Christian Yelich on the trading block, and I've been offered Danny Duffy for him. I can't decide to accept or maybe counter offer Yelich for Carlos Martinez, maybe? I'd like a bit of advice on it first. Thanks!

If it helps I'm not trading you Martinez for Yelich

you want him. his issue was mental/approach, and he said he overcame it in his week-long demotion. if that little hang-up is really over, he can be a crazy good asset.

People say that and every time I watch Broxton bat his stance and approach look like he should be a .200 hitter. I don't know how he cranks some of these homers when he barely gets the bat around on changeups.

i think hurdle has marte leading off these days, which depresses his value. hell, i'm not sure i see much daylight between marte and maybin at this point.

i'd take broxton. highest power upside. i also don't believe starling's power is ever going to come. i certainly don't think he has the power upside broxton does. marte will probably steal more, though.

also, starling doesn't walk, so he won't help your obp that much.

Cameron Maybin has like a .700 ops and is getting way more walks than usual in his career. He's waiver wire trash.

Marte's got like 120 at bats so far this season his stats will come along sometime before the season ends. Same with Broxton I bet. I could see him swing for contact more because his most valuable asset is his legs not his 18ish HR power.

Abel Wingnut posted:

except his discipline has improved, he's hitting in front of the best hitter in the game, his batted ball profile has drastically improved, and he has taken walks before. i see that and think he's eyeing the ball well and setting himself up to succeed.

marte, on the other hand, is a slap-singles hitter at this point who, despite an insane babip and hitting cleanup for a significant part of last season, took a huge step back in power and hasn't shown improvement this season. he's like 200th in average exit velocity. last season's average: 86.3mph. this season: 81.7mph.

Maybin is a limited 30 year old that can be defined as SAGNOF for his counting stats so far. I like his run total for the amount of at bats he has but you can sort of find that on the waiver too. Like I just cut Ian Kinsler and he's having a better season than Maybin so far for 5 cat purposes.

Marte's looking like trash right now, I agree, but I'm saying it's because he had a long break from baseball due to the PED suspension. Dude's seriously got less than half the at bats as Maybin and has a four year track record as a 10/30 guy. He'll turn it around soon.

Gallo OPS splits by month:
april .880
may .814
june .749
july .851
august 1.251

They were clearly down on him since they had him platooned and batting 9th for a while but his lows were never all that bad.

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.

Stanton went 39th overall in my draft, but I also nabbed Villar with the 42nd pick, so I didn't win them all.

I saw him and Springer get snatched up right before me in the third round when I was debating taking both with the third pick in the second round. I took Nelson Cruz then promptly traded him and Michael Fulmer for Rougned Odor and welp
