7:58 |
: how gaga should I be over Reynaldo Lopez
|
7:58 |
: He’s fine until it warms up and his 2.0 HR/9 begins. Trade him in late May
|
7:59 |
: 12 tm roto redraft Yu hit the wire, I only have $35 of $100 left. Could use some W’s with sev and clev dog on ir. What do you bid?
|
7:59 |
|
8:00 |
: You need to give yourself $1 a week for moves of need (injuries). If $0 bids are allowed, maybe $20
|
8:00 |
: Does Ryan Zimmerman injury open up any additional options other than Matt Adams
|
8:00 |
: I think so for the week. I could even see them look to trade for help.
|
8:01 |
: brb, I want a refreshing beverage
|
8:02 |
: Kikuchi looks like the low man on my 12 tm roto roster. Will I regret cutting him?
|
8:02 |
|
8:02 |
: How likely do you think Beeks is to stick in the old Yarbough role?
|
8:03 |
: Decent. I was the one who bid for him in Tout to take a chance.
|
8:03 |
: I dropped Travis Shaw in a points league to keep Yandy Diaz…am I crazy?
|
8:04 |
: I’m a little worried about Shaw and could see Hiura (sp?) get the call at some point
|
8:04 |
: Chasing saves in a 14tm 5×5 with 2 RP spots only. Which one would you take from Swarzak, Emilio Pagan or Blake Parker?
|
8:04 |
|
8:05 |
: Sogard and Pence worth an add? AL only league. Dropping Bird and Cahill
|
8:05 |
: Sogard for sure and go with Bird
|
8:06 |
: I don’t have a problem dropping Cahill but I’m not sure Pence is an upgrade
|
8:06 |
: Canning or kikuchi? Canning or Marco? Canning or Trevor Williams?
|
8:06 |
: Williams, Canning, Marco, Kikuchi
|
8:06 |
|
8:06 |
: McMahon
|
8:07 |
: Renato Nunez in 12 team ops league
|
8:07 |
: He’s close in 12 teamers. I may have to bench him in a 15 teamer as I have too many corners.
|
8:08 |
: al only keeper league where you cant bid on a guy til activated, vlad call up means his bidding is this week. How much would you bid on him in a league where you have $260 total budget to start season and 100 in season faab money and any bid over 30 you have to keep the next yr and would hit that next yr starting 260?
|
8:09 |
: 35, maybe even 40. You should know the league’s inflation and bake it in
|
8:09 |
|
8:09 |
: Buchholz but none of them give me a warm fuzzy
|
8:09 |
: Someone dropped AJ Pollock in my league. He is an immediate add right?
|
8:09 |
: Yes, hell yes
|
8:09 |
: Would u drop kike to pick up cordell?
|
8:10 |
: No.
|
8:10 |
|
8:10 |
: Oh, this is a good one
|
8:10 |
: Diaz but it’s very close
|
8:11 |
: Bader is available in my 15 team mixed….thinking of a $80-$90 bid? Reasonable?
|
8:11 |
: I have him in an NL-only and I’m worried about the playing time with Martinez hitting. Maybe half the bid
|
8:12 |
: For those with NA spots that recently opened who should be the next batter stash in redraft? Hiura? Alvarez?
|
8:12 |
|
8:12 |
: I might go in that order. And Senzel if available.
|
8:12 |
: Under the radar reliever that can get you some saves?
|
8:13 |
: I gambling on who is available in Seattle and Angels. Also I like Hildenberger in Min
|
8:13 |
: What was the refreshing beverage of choice? Im going an Upslope Citra Pale ale
|
8:14 |
: Voodoo Ranger Juicy Haze IPA by New Belgium
|
8:14 |
|
8:14 |
: Neither, too much bread, get a bid burrito some where
|
8:14 |
: Thoughts on Fedde in 25 tm dynasty? Worth a small bid?
|
8:14 |
: Maybe, but quickly move on
|
8:15 |
: Thoughts on which top tier pitchers to Target who might have owners getting antsy to trade beside sale of course
|
8:15 |
: All the Mets, they are all struggling
|
8:15 |
: does kieboom get sent down when turner back? in an nl only do you gamble he stays up w a decent bid? what % would you throw at him? our faab amount is 100 for the yr
|
8:17 |
: I do worry he gets demoted in a month so I stayed away from paying a ton for him. I feel an owner could get one of the Yankee callups for nothing.
|
8:17 |
: What’s the chance Brian Dozier puts up a 20 1
|
8:17 |
: Oops. Dozier 20 home run 15 sb season
|
8:18 |
: I think the 15 SBs are gone. Anyone can hit 20 home runs with the new happy fun ball MLB is using
|
8:18 |
: Think Duplantier gets a shot at Godley’s spot in Diamondback’s rotation?
|
8:18 |
: Maybe. I almost put in a ton of min bids but nothing more
|
8:19 |
: Where do you rank someone like Strahm or Bassitt in relation to Luke Weaver? Same 7th-ish starter in 12tm?
|
8:19 |
: I think they are all bench/WW streamers
|
8:19 |
: Ryan Cordell have any value? Getting everyday ABs, now Eloy hurt
|
8:20 |
: Yes and he was before the injury. Some pop and decent AVG. I’m buying in my deeper leagues
|
8:20 |
: It won’t matter after I destroy the world but Goodwin or Calhoun for an OF fill in for Eloy?
|
8:20 |
: Calhoun
|
8:20 |
: Correa or Vlad ros
|
8:20 |
: Vlad and I don’t think it’ll be close
|
8:21 |
: 50% Vlad, 25% Tie, 25% Correa
|
8:21 |
: In regards to the Belt bid of $77, I have an trade offer of receiving BBelt, and BGardner for Danny Santana and RCordell? Is that a no-brainer?
|
8:21 |
: Take it now
|
8:21 |
: Ok to stream Lucchessi’s spot in my 12-teamer?
|
8:22 |
: Yea, i could see only half of his starts worthwhile
|
8:22 |
: Al only who is better to try in a redraft – Canning or Luzardo?
|
8:22 |
: Right now, Canning. He’s healthy and in the majors. That’s 2/3 of the battle.
|
8:23 |
: Given his higher velocity, how high is Drew Pomeranz’s ceiling? Would you drop Steckenrider at this point in an NL-only league to pick him up?
|
8:23 |
: I would. Pomeranz looks really good
|
8:23 |
: Braun or Nimmo to platoon with Joc?
|
8:24 |
: One sec
|
8:26 |
: Nimmo, you really want Joc’s platoon partner playing every day so you can get points when Joc sits, you don’t want the other guy sitting also as will be the case with Braun
|
8:26 |
: Lost Turner now Tatis… 14 team H2H OBP league. Not much out there… Kike, Marwin, Cole Tucker, Profar, Adames?
|
8:27 |
: The first two are fine replacements and I’m a little surprised they are available.
|
8:27 |
: Diaz over Christian Walker or Vogelbach?
|
8:27 |
: They are all close. Stick with Diaz for now
|
8:27 |
: Have to drop at least one of Eickhoff, Turnbull, Derek Holland and Minter in a 15-tm mixed and feeling torn about it. How would you rank them?
|
8:28 |
: Best to worst: Minter, Turnbull, Eickhoff (hate the home starts), Holland
|
8:28 |
: Is Luis rengifo flying under the radar because of Kieboom and Canning call ups or is he nothing more than a light hitting bat with a little speed?
|
8:29 |
: I think he might be Greg Allen or worse
|
8:29 |
: If an owner needs steals, he’s a great gamble.
|
8:29 |
: Should I hang onto Stripling?
|
8:30 |
: I haven’t in my NFBC leagues (no IL slots). There just isn’t room to speculate
|
8:30 |
: Need to cut one in a keeper league with Hill back: Renfroe, Hampson, Trevor Williams, or Cole Tucker.
|
8:30 |
: Hampson
|
8:30 |
: Given that Mike Soroka has had some shoulder issues and pitched lesss than 60 innings last year, do you expect him to be limited to about 80 innings this year.
|
8:31 |
: A bit more, usually 30 to 40 more. Most teams use pitches so if he’s efficient, he can go more innings
|
8:33 |
: Is Bassitt doing something different to make him worthy of a decent FAAB bid tonight?
|
8:33 |
: Not really. I’m surprised his ERA is 0.00 with a 7.2 BB/9
|
8:33 |
: 12 team AL only $3 min bid and 120 budget, what would you consider a good aggressive bid on Rengifo? I’m hurting in steals. Thanks!
|
8:34 |
: Sure, even up to 20% if you must.
|
8:34 |
: deep needs for Starters in a 16 team redraft. Which MLB teams do you see having a need to reach down to the minors right now?
|
8:34 |
: The A’s have some arms
|
8:35 |
: Better speculative pickup for S, Shawn Kelley or Nick Anderson?
|
8:35 |
: Kelley
|
8:35 |
: PSA: NFBC FAAB extended to 11PM because of server issues
|
8:35 |
: That is why the chat was late. I lost all my bids from one league
|
8:35 |
: Tapia or Kepler ros
|
8:35 |
: Kepler
|
8:35 |
: When should we stash Yordan Alvarez?
|
8:36 |
: Sadly now. I think he’s the Astros injury replacement with Tucker struggling. We just don’t know when that injury will occur
|
8:36 |
: Is it worth holding Hampson in 16 team redraft. Just picked up Chavis who’s elig at 2b and 3b?
|
8:36 |
: No
|
8:37 |
: Do you think Mercado gets the call soon? Cleveland OF is atrocious
|
8:37 |
: I think Luplow gets one more chance and then look for Mercado
|
8:37 |
: ROS – Ryan Zimmerman or Ronald Guzman?
|
8:38 |
: Guzman. Zimmerman has plantar fasciitis (sp?) and it can be a pain to come back from.
|
8:38 |
: Who’s the better add Leury Garcia or Ryan Cordell?
|
8:38 |
: I like Garcia in AVG league. He takes a huge hit in OBP leagues
|
8:39 |
: How concerned are you about Nola? Do I need to be aggressive in bidding on pitching to make up for sale, Nola and careasco’s slow starts?
|
8:39 |
: Some but not too much. You are just going to have to ride this out.
|
8:39 |
: I’m holding Profar and Odor as second base options in a 16 team mixed. Senzel is available and 2nd base eligible. Drop Profar for Senzel?
|
8:40 |
: Yes, in a heart beat
|
8:40 |
: Once sec
|
8:41 |
: Senzel could be called up Thursday. The next week the Reds are on the road
|
8:42 |
: He needs to be owned in 100% of leagues
|
8:42 |
: I’m drunk on franmil xstats. Is it crazy to drop him for Marwin Gonzalez though to squeeze out extra ABs in daily moves?
|
8:42 |
: No, Reyes is just forcing himself in every day at bats
|
8:43 |
: Ok to drop Trevor Richards? Read a lot of sleeper articles about him but results not there so far
|
8:43 |
: He can’t control the ball
|
8:43 |
: % of faab you would bid on winker in a 15-team league?
|
8:43 |
: 20%
|
8:43 |
: Thanks for the input Jeff!
|
8:43 |
: How much faab on Kieboom? 20% would replace Odor 12 team NFBC
|
8:44 |
: Torres was over 300 last year this same week. In ToutWars, over 200 got him. You are in the ballpark
|
8:44 |
: Have Treinan, drop him for Hicks or Vasquez?
|
8:44 |
: WTF, are you in a 2 team league
|
8:44 |
: ?
|
8:45 |
: Mahle worth a small bid in a 15 team NFBC? This week Mets -don’t like ,but @SF and @OAK following week.
|
8:45 |
: I picked him up last week for this two-step.
|
8:46 |
: That is it for tonight. I’m out and happy fishing.
