Hey Paul and Eno,
I’m in a pts league where wins, innings, pitched and K’s are the most valuable stats (probably in that order). Would you trade Rick Porcello or Phil Hughes low for Rubby de la Rossa? And who do you like better going forward out of Rick and Phil? Thanks.
Guys,
What are your thoughts on the Cubs and Dodgers infield situations. In a deep dynasty league and debating on dropping Guerrero for Baez. Already have Dan Murphy, Zobrist, and Addison Russell. Guerrero is a minus fielder and is sporting a 30% HR/FB. Once Puig comes back, he may be relegated to a bench role.
“Deep” dynasty league, Baez unowned. Sounds legit.
Points league that penalizes for K’s. So he doesn’t have the same value that he has in roto.
Love it when you can fill 2 or 3 holes at once
Maybe Lucroy forces Fiers to start going up and in again? The 14 vs 15 heat maps are really strikingly different.
Hey Guys,
Do you believe in Carlos Martinez or is he a sell high?
-2 ER or less in 8/10 starts
-9.55 K/9 (highest since A Ball)
-Higher BB/9 rate than years past
-Good team so wins could be there
-Nice pitchers park
If you did sell, what tier of player is in play?

Hi, Paul and Eno. Would you guys drop Addison Russell for Ruben Tejada in a 12 team mixed roto? Thanks!
Joey Gallo=Chris Davis
I cannot for the life of me figure out the name you are saying in your “would you rather segment” again Mike Fiers.
