Today would be a good day for Merrifield, Grandal, Duvall, and various other hitters on my teams to stop sucking rear end, IMO

Someone dropped Gallo in a Yahoo prize league (12 team, standard 5x5). Drop Pollock or Torkelson for him?

The injury gods will never let us have a full season of Buxton and Mondesi.

So, Mondesi tore his ACL. Gotta be one of the saddest stories out there. So much potential and just can't stay on the field.

Whit Merrifield with a nice 0 for 5 today, bringing his batting line to an impressive .127/.160/.155 :thumbsup:

I've watched the injury three times now and I still don't understand what happened. Guy just ran back toward first base and came up limping. The pitch before that he started and stopped. Neither one looked like he snagged a cleat or twisted his knee. Just so brittle.

Whatever happened to KC moving him to 3B so his legs were preserved?

G'dam! I'm having a helluva week. Up 15-1 against my opponent and am leading in ERA by 2.13 and in WHIP by 0.52. But I only have an advantage of 14 strikeouts over him. We both have two starters eligible today: I have Framber Valdez (vs. the Blue Jays) and Daniel Lynch (vs. the Yankees).

He has his ace Corbin Burnes (vs. the Cubs) and Josh Fleming (vs. the Twins). He has both slotted to start, so he is minding his team (or at least has set them to auto-start for the week).

I have 5 active relievers to his 2 (he's got 2 on the IL).

So I'm considering sitting both Valdez and Lynch because they're up against tremendous offenses (and Lynch isn't the most reliable starter anyway). I hope I can retain the lead in Ks, but if I start both of them to improve the odds and they get blown out, I could possibly drop the ERA and WHIP categories (not sure of the complicated math on how bad that would have to be -- I have 49 innings pitched so far compared to his 30.1)

All that said, my history of selectively benching players due to history/stats is absolutely dreadful.

I had considered picking up 1-800-Glenn-Otto in a deep league for the start tonight, but I waffled because he is facing the mighty Yankees lineup. Someone else added him, so it's off my plate.

Complaining about O'Neill seemed to work. Kelenic has been benched for two games in a row now. Yikes.

Ask me how to run a good team into the ground.
Is it time to drop Marcus Semien yet?

12 team league - standard lineup with 2 UTIL spots.

I have Andres Gimenez, Max Muncy and JP Crawford (and Johnathan India on DL) at my 2B and SS positions.

Someone just dropped Taylor Ward for some reason.

Ward had been sitting with a minor hamstring injury but he was back last night and hit a dinger. I imagine there will be lots of interest in your league to snatch him up.

Semien is a tough call. He's been dreadful, no doubt. Of course you're suffering with Muncy underperforming as well. Crawford has been a nice find though!

I would hold on to Semien a while longer and keep him benched as much as possible. We're only what, six weeks into the season?

He won't give you last season's numbers but he should be worth rostering.

Gonna keep a close eye on Josh Winder's start against the Astros tonight. Someone added him before his last start and then dropped him, but he won't clear waivers until tomorrow. I have a SP spot that I've been cycling free agents through and I'll try to get Winder as a long-term prospect if he can do well against Houston this evening.

With some pitchers coming off the IL, I need a drop. In standard 5x5, who's most expendable?

AJ Pollock
Marcell Ozuna
Michael Brantley

Thinking Ozuna, he hasn't been good since 2020.

BaseballPCHiker

Personally I'd drop Ozuna.

Brantley is solid but boring and Pollack may run again at some point.

It's not clear that he's been demoted from the closer role yet, right? AZ hasn't had a save situation since his last meltdown.

But yeah, 1 more lovely outing and he's gone in my opinion (and probably AZs as well)
