league settings: $225 6×6: r, hr, rbi, sb, obp, slg | w, qs, sv, k, era, whip espn faab that settles on monday, thursday, and saturday and with those settings, keep up to 6: acuna 10 betts 50 bregman 24 bryant 50 buxton 5 cabrera 5 cain 13 heaney 5 hicks 5 iglesias 11 jansen 17 leclerc 5 mazara 5 mondesi 5 nimmo 5 pivetta 5 tucker 5 villar 5 voit 5 yates 5 acuna is a no-brainer, so 5 left. mondesi’s upside is tremendous, so i feel this is close to a no-brainer as well, so 4 left. now it gets interesting. betts is obviously the big name here. we all know the skillset is top 2 or 3. if he gives 650pa, he’ll be worth it. but that’s a tough ask from him. he’s always a little banged up, it seems. and even in the best case where he gives 650pa, does he really offer a profit when his cost is $50? then again, the talent is just so immense. and that’s not even mentioning the team-building aspect. i’m already keeping acuna and mondesi. acuna strikes me as something of a mini-betts. possibly too flush with speed in these three? might be better to spend some of the $50 on two elite, non-speedy hitters? i’m pretty torn. and then there’s bregman at $24. i have to say, that’s an attractive price. i’m inclined to throw him back to the pool, even though he’ll go for more. reason being–bryant will be available (no way am i keeping him). and i think bryant is the better hitter and can be had for less. bryant will also certainly be cheaper to keep next season. maybe i’m being too speculative here and i should go with bregman? the rest are, for the most part, just high-upside players. cain, i really don’t see keeping at $13. seems more like a great trade chip that i should employ before the draft. jansen at $17 is tempting, and he’s one of the bonafides at a position that is rapidly disappearing. i could certainly see keeping him. then again, yates at $5 is obviously more attractive from an expenses standpoint, but does he last past the trade deadline? i lean so, as i do think the padres will contend this season. in any case, i’ve come to three possible groups in my head: a: betts, acuna, mondesi, voit, cabrera, buxton – $80 b: acuna, mondesi, voit, cabrera, buxton, yates – $35 c: betts, bregman, acuna, mondesi, jansen, pivetta – $111 these are just the ones i’ve thought through. group a seems solid with decent upside. group b seems lacking with foundation, but loaded with upside. group c completely disregards cash. but yea, those are the three i’ve come to. curious if you all can make a case for another group, or eliminate the groups i’ve come to.

Bregor posted:That’s not a terrible offer? Reliable SPs are pretty hard to trade for in my experience. it is a bad offer. corbin succeeded last year because, yes, he retooled his repertoire and went extreme on his slider--that's great. but that wasn't everything. i believe the real reason he went insane is that drat humidor in arizona. him moving to a not so friendly park, and the revamped nl east (there are some serious offenses there now), and just regression in general, means some significant walk back in those numbers. on the other side, you have mondesi, who has first round upside. he does look improved at the plate, and obviously the power and speed are real and he has carte blanche on the basepaths. so i'd be trading a potential first rounder for a guy you could probably get in the 10th-12th. it's a no-brainer to take a chance on the guy with the immense upside.

on another note, espn's new site is beyond trash. they gotta get this nonsense fixed soon. boyd's performance isn't even showing up for me, no active stats pages, the fantasycast doesn't work after 5min, and even when it does the layout makes zero sense just atrocious

Fast Luck posted:Flaherty's last start he carried a no hitter into like the 5th and struck out 10, EdRod has been pitching very well ever since his first two starts. Weird timing to drop either! the path i see is he'll take over for white by june. reddick has also been kind of bad too, and they still have kemp for some reason, whom tucker could replace that bat is going to play

Bregor posted:So is Scherzer just bad now or what he's actually pitching better this season than any other. he's been insanely unlucky with babip, his bullpen has given up like every runner he's left on base, his own lob% is crazy, and his defense has been atrocious. none of the runs tonight were his fault, at all. robles completely botched a routine fly and ozuna interfered with kieboom in the first. it's unreal the bad luck he's suffered so far. everyone should be going after him hard if you can get him at like 80 to 90c on the dollar e: https://twitter.com/DevanFink/status/1123785657938264064 this is like the most obvious buy low situation imaginable. dude is killing it and everyone around him is letting him down abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 04:46 on May 2, 2019 |

alsoAbel Wingnut posted:folks, you're going to want to stash yordan alvarez baseball america posted:Yordan Alvarez, OF/1B, Astros. It’s hard to have a better day than Alvarez had on Wednesday. In the first game of a doubleheader, Alvarez went 4-for-5 with three RBIs. The Astros’ No. 3 prospect had two singles and two doubles from the cleanup spot. In the second game, Alvarez hit his 12th home run of the season (one off the minor league lead) while going 2-for-3. So for the day, he was 6-for-8 with 11 total bases. i really do not believe tyler white is long for the astros' starting lineup

i don't think that's a concern? yes, both alvarez and tucker are nominally outfield prospects, and the astros' fo keeps at that line for valuation reasons, but yordan patently isn't good in the outfield--at all. he's destined for 1b or dh, and the astros have a black hole there now. meanwhile, tucker is a great hitter and a great defender in the outfield. he is exactly what they look for in an outfielder. their proclivities sort the situation out rather seamlessly. so no, i don think they impede one another's advancement. abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 15:36 on May 2, 2019 |

the problem with flaherty is he has one excellent pitch and nothing else do not draft starters with one above average pitch e: also i would be looking to move kershaw immediately. his velocity is in freefall and his slider is a husk of what it was. gave up a lot of loud outs tonight. babip still way too low. now combine all that with the weather about to heat up, his back, and decent offenses in the west. i’m afraid this is the beginning of the end :/ abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 06:23 on May 9, 2019 |

fawning deference posted:Kershaw may be just undergoing a period of velocity trouble but he still got an 0.98 whip and a k/bb rate over 5. I would give him some time. i mean, if you want to bet on that, be my guest. but i'll bet on the dude who's thrown more than 2100 innings and suffered several back issues that could easily recur ultimately succumbing to age and not being an sp1 or high sp2 henceforth. regardless of what you think of his velocity, there's still no doubt he's outperforming his peripherals and the weather and baseball environment will do him no favors in the coming months. he'll still get you a decent era and whip because of his control, like high 3 and high1.1, but he's like bottom tier sp2 at best now. if you can get a nola or top 35 bat, which i think is doable, and it makes sense for your team, do so immediately. the cliff's a-comin'. oh, and go check those velo graphs for his fb and his slider.

Fast Luck posted:Read an article about Alex Reyes that he’s basically on a rehab assignment and will just start on milb homestands, two at A+, then one at AA and AAA and if it goes well he could find his way into the MLB rotation. He had control issues earlier this year but was coming back from injury. Hit 99mph and went 70 pitches yesterday in a nice low level start. folks, the upside here is immense. you have to get him on your team if he's still a free agent. and if he's owned by someone else, try to trade for him. dude could be an instant ace

he lost his command + gabe kepler is a moron + any and all sequencing ability he had has completely and inexplicably gone out the window like he wasn't going to repeat last season, but this is just weird. i'm starting to think kepler and whoever the pitching coach is is ruining all their arms. none of their pitchers have good command, and most don't even have control. there's talent there, and it's just not being used like it should. some people think he's hurt, too. i don't really buy that given the velocity is up from last season, but...maybe? something is definitely up with him, though. abelwingnut fucked around with this message at 05:48 on Jun 4, 2019 |

it's also very possible this is like spring training where he's working on very select things with a very peculiar repertoire. who knows. the point is it seems the velocity and physical health are there. give him a few more starts, and see where it goes.

the worst part about this season isn't the ball that allows hitters to hit dingers at will, it's the loving front offices and the use of the opener and the general chaos of how teams are run and managed now. fantasy baseball needs to change to reflect these things. like in 10yr, is there going to be a single pitcher who pitcher more than 6ip per start? i...kind of doubt it. eventually the win and the save and the dumber stats will go away. teams already don't care about them.

saves, wins, and even quality starts are pretty much entirely random. they are dependent on soooooooo many other things beyond a pitcher's control. i wish they were loving abolished from fantasy.
