Thanks for the Content! I proudly sold high on Assad nearly two weeks ago and scored a struggling (at the time), Pablo Lopez. In my ESPN 10-team custom points league (non-standard scoring) – Assad is SP/RP and is averaging 22.9 ppg, Lopez is averaging 23.6 ppg. At the time they were averaging ~25 and ~20. Miss Assad but I got another ACE. Pitching is now Gallen (drafted), P. Lopez (trade), Gausman (waiver pickup), Castillo (traded Hunter Greene/Colin Rea when Luis was struggling), C. Morton, Lodolo, Taillon and Buehler, With Snell on IL and Paul Skenes stashed. The challenge will be, when I need an additional slot to stream from, who do I drop? Or better yet, who would you try to sell high on from this group in a consolidation trade?
Fantastic trade!! Just an incredible sell high. I think Morton/Taillon are probably your potential cuttables in a 10-teamer
Thanks! And what about future trades? Would you try to sell high on any of my pitching Corps? How about bats? Would you drop any of Rooker/Tauchman/E. Carter/Bichette (brutal mistake drafting him). I have Bellinger back off IL and Seiya coming back soon. Also have MH2
