Gormans up guys, check your waivers

I had Gorman stashed in one of two "N/A" positions for the past month. The call up made me choose to drop Mackenzie Gore. He lost his role as a starter and he's going to be on a limited pitch count since he's young. If Gorman gets off to a hot start and blasts a few home runs this weekend, I might throw him out there as trade bait and see what I can get.

I don't have as much interest in Libratore though. I thought about dropping George Kirby for him, but Chase Silseth was available, so I went with him instead.

Held Gorman for a month, dropped him 5 hours before he was called up because Starling Marte was coming off bereavement list and I needed a spot.

And then Marte's game got snowed out today anyway.

This is fun.

You might want to add William Contreras if you need a catcher. I'll just copy the Yahoo note...

quote:

William Contreras is starting in left field and batting second for the Braves in Monday's series opener against the Phillies.

Advice: The Braves are trying to get Contreras's bat into the lineup more often and he possesses more athleticism than a typical catcher these days, so they're going to give him a shot in left field on occasion moving forward. The 24-year-old backstop has gotten some outfield reps in the past, including during spring training a few weeks ago, so this isn't a total surprise. It's a definite boost to his fantasy potential if he's playing close to everyday in Atlanta.

On Yahoo you can put guys who are out for the week on IR. It makes certain stupid people mad if you do so. I guess Tommy Pham is one of them.

I'm rollin' in both of my leagues lately. The only guy on both rosters that I'm not sure of is Aaron Ashby. May give him one more outing and see how that goes. If it's a stinker, I'm replacing him.

Rolling with some young speedy guys, Michael Harris at CF and Ezequiel Duran in the middle infield. Both hitting well for the time being, both were top 100 prospects coming into the year

Also picked up Estuary Ruiz as a hold... SD Padres are competitive so they've gotta bring him up if he keeps up what he's doing for much longer. 481 obp 12 homers and a ridiculous 41 steals over 55 milb games so far this year.

I'm in two Yahoo leagues and normally set my daily rosters each morning. I got sidetracked today and didn't get around to it until early afternoon. The Cardinals were playing a double-header and the first game had started. I could not move Miles Mikolas from my bench to a SP slot for the SECOND game. Pissed me off.

And then I see this tonight:

That's happened to me before, although it didn't end up hurting that bad!

What did hut was i dropped Miles Mikolas before his last two starts. I was loving having him but he had a rough patch and I saw he was below some free agent pitchers on pitcherlist and saw another site that said it was time to drop him. So I dumped him for Edward Cabrera. I guess we'll see how that goes.
