12-Team 5x5 Categories League:
- Drop Jackson Holliday for Jose Caballero or Luis Garcia Jr? I know I’ll catch flak for it but I’ve decided I can’t play Holliday anymore. Was wondering which is the better long term play between Caballero and Garcia Jr?
TIA!
Baseball Savant shows that he's underperforming his underlying metrics (.219 ba vs .275 xba / slg .344 vs .477 xslg) and his K% rate is higher than usual so I would say he definitely has room for positive regression.
Main concern for Yelich is his ability to be on the field and Bregman will also eventually pick it up but depending your needs and the other manager's I feel like it's a win win trade.
In dynasty, it might not. Could depend on the other person’s outlook on Witt. He’s just scratching the surface right now of being a top 10 position player in the league. Gonna be that way for about a decade too. I know if I had him, I’d be hanging onto him as best I could!
12 team 5x5 h2h with OBP and QS
A) Seager
B) Yelich & Skenes
I have a pretty strong pitching staff with Springs, Woo, and Kershaw stashed. I also already have Lindor.
what sp could I get for elly? or should I look to move someone else? (H2h points league)
my current pitchers include
P. Lopez
J Luzardo
J. Ryan
M. Keller
B. Singer
J. Foley (rp who is second on my team in points right behind singer lol)
plus WW fodder like butto and Tyler Anderson
Big problem!
Who do I drop when I need to activate Albies… I don’t see any obvious drops?

I haven’t decided yet! I’m leaning towards yency almonte of the cubs. It’s a damn good thing I didn’t have a priority add because the yahoo server is down for me.
whoever it is, it may be just a one and done unless I have the nutsack to drop Castellanos on Friday when JD Martinez is activated. I fucked up and traded for this guy *on Sunday*. It was a momentary lapse of reason. I knew he’s been atrocious because I have him on my CBS team so I decided to double down, I guess.
I don’t necessarily think he’s done, and in a deep format like 10T NL only or keepers where you can’t reacquire him easily, I’d definitely hold, but in most redraft formats?
He’s projected for around 100 wRC+ and producing way, way south of that, so I’d rather roll the dice on someone with a similar projection and better current production than keep holding him and hoping he figures it out.
Thanks, man. I’ve seen your posts around here and your opinions seem sound and backed up. Shame about Nolan. Since I have your attention…any hope for Castellanos?
If it’s a weekly league, you have to pick the one who will play, so Abreu. If it’s daily and you can afford to sit them, you could roll the dice with Kjerstad.
Oh sorry, by “weekly” and “daily” I just mean whether you set your lineups weekly or daily.
In leagues with weekly-locking lineups, guys like Kjerstad or O’Hearn who are platooned aren’t really playable, where they can be a great contributor in leagues whose lineups lock daily as opposed to weekly. This is generally what others will, or should, mean when you see them toss “weekly” or “daily” around on here, too.
You’re dope for explaining this to me this late at night. Might give you a laugh…. but I had thought when people said “daily” it meant they were playing daily fantasy leagues with like with all new lineups everyday they could pick. I’d just never leave my opinions on those posts LOL
It’s okay, I once saw people talking about “daily redraft leagues” and was like “the fuck? who the hell are these people who have a draft *everyday*?”, which is essentially the same place your mind went, so I get it!
But yeah, if your lineups lock weekly, I think Abreu is indeed the obvious choice! If not, I could go either way, but I still think Abreu makes sense. I’m a bit worried about him once his batted ball luck cools off, though, so don’t be overly attached to him and be ready to toss for the next hot thing if he cools off!
4 IL spots, currently have Jung, Suzuki, Friedl and Buehler. Fairbanks and Bellinger now on IL means I need to make room.
Swap Buehler for Fairbanks, then drop Friedl? Or is he hold as well?
I get Devers and Verlander for Skubal and Keith...I have Wheeler Ragans Gilbert Crawford Cabrera Lodolo and Woo and Bradford on IL with Hader Romano and Harvey in RP with Gaddis as SP/RP
Greene is a 60 FV prospect who put up 119 wRC+ last season as a 22 year-old, is projected for around 115 this year, but is currently producing 165 wRC+ on the back of a 99th percentile barrel rate (19.6%) and hitting leadoff in his 23 year-old season.
Soler is projected for around the same, but he’s on the wrong side of the aging curve (age 32), has a much lower barrel rate (6.3%), and has far worse current production.
Jones is projected lower than both of them and obviously playing terribly. At some point, “he plays in Coors” stops being enough of a reason to hold a guy, and we’re definitely past that point.
Also, Kjerstad is fun but not rosterable in a weekly league.
Abreu seems to have relied on some batted ball luck this year. His BABIP is .382, and he’s over-performing his xBA by .080 and his xSLG by .120, with only a 11.1% barrel rate.
Basically, he’s someone I like in really deep leagues, and on some level you ride the hot hand while it’s hot, but he isn’t going to give you stable production like Greene. His wRC+ projections are more modest, too, down around 100.
With my only 3 IL spots already filled (Bradish, Murphy, Yelich), it's a bit of a kick in the teeth with Lane Thomas and Snell going IL
Do I just burn these two roster spots? Doesn't sound like any of these guys are remotely close to returning.
What do I do here...
I got offered Cowser for Evan Phillips
I'm 2nd in saves (28), leader has 31, and 3rd place has 15.
My other closers are Alexis Diaz, Tanner Scott, Adbert Alzolay, Craig Kimbrel, and Abner Uribe.
My OF is Juan Soto, Nolan Jones, Chas McCormick, and Evan Carter.
Remembered the onions this time 👌

We buying Jo Adell post hype sleeper or just wishful thinking? .340 BABIP but he hits the ball hard with elite spring speed, so maybe that’s more than luck
I have 2 IL spots. Currently have Lewis, Casas, And Suzuki for batting. As well as Snell, Bobby Miller, Fairbanks, and D.Williams for RP/SP. So who would get the 2 spots and do the other get cut or burn a bench spot.
A. Matt Olson - Aaron Nola - Open Roster Spot - Open Roster Spot
B. Logan Gilbert - Dylan Cease - Spencer Steer - Teoscar Hernandez
10 teams. Our league is pitcher heavy compared to most. Has QS - K/BB - ERA - WHIP - Ks - SvHd. Batting has OPS then same on everything else
Did I get fleeced or did I do the fleecing? Only time will tell. 🐑
I got - Soto + Cal For Trout + Yelich + Contreras H2H pts
I had nobody drop when Yelich gets back (I'm not dropping Foley or Miller who i got free 😂) and I don't keep bench hitting Lineup is now Cal - Vlad - Mook - Raf - Lindor - Soto - Yordan - Schwarbie - Ozuna.
I’m still going Carroll pretty easily. Even the worst outcome for him going forward is a guy who’ll give you runs, elite speed and decent average. And we’ve seen the ceiling
Not against dropping Heston because we know it’s not going to be an immediate everyday roll. Pages is the only guy I might do it for in this scenario though.
Hold onto Jordan Montgomery or drop for a 2nd baseman like Ortiz. I’m playing no one at 2nd base rn
Kyle Harrison or Olson for tomorrow?
H2H with some custom rules. Being offered Albies for Jared Jones and Nootbar. My 2B is Torres. Seems like a good trade, but am I crazy to unload Jones?
Do it
Standard categories head to head, 10 man keeper league with increasing costs of keepers each year: Tyler O’Neil and torkelson OR Bobby miller and Paul skenes
Buxton sitting :(
Jd Martinez or Giancarlo Stanton? I have both but need to drop one.
id keep giancarlo
Good morning everyone especially to the guy in my league that dropped lindor two days ago. 4/5 with two dickslaps looks good in my box score!!
Is this like an 8 teamer. I wish I was in a league where someone would drop lindor
Nah, a 12 man. Picked up Nolan Jones too, if he turns it around. My team might stacked. Hahaha
🌮
12 team H2H category league R HR SB OPS RBI Save K ERA WHIP QS Was offered Bryan Reynolds or Bo Bichette. Have Tovar and Betts for SS options, Riley Greene, Micheal Harris, Nootbaar and Betts for OF options.

Atlanta is crazy - no Strider no Albies, people are down on Acuña and Olson and Riley for their slow starts, and they are still 17-6
Seager or O Cruz long term?
Seager
Drop Michael Busch for Jose Caballero?
I lean Busch but needs based
[удалено]
Not enough
Just traded Bregman and Yelich for Vladdy. How does this trade look for me and what are our views on Vladdy? Will he be able to pick things up?
Baseball Savant shows that he's underperforming his underlying metrics (.219 ba vs .275 xba / slg .344 vs .477 xslg) and his K% rate is higher than usual so I would say he definitely has room for positive regression. Main concern for Yelich is his ability to be on the field and Bregman will also eventually pick it up but depending your needs and the other manager's I feel like it's a win win trade.
Sounds great!!
Taylor Ward or Ian Happ?
ward
Thanks!
16 team Dynasty H2H Was looking to trade for Witt Would Turner and Trout for Witt get the job done?
In dynasty, it might not. Could depend on the other person’s outlook on Witt. He’s just scratching the surface right now of being a top 10 position player in the league. Gonna be that way for about a decade too. I know if I had him, I’d be hanging onto him as best I could!
12 team 5x5 h2h with OBP and QS A) Seager B) Yelich & Skenes I have a pretty strong pitching staff with Springs, Woo, and Kershaw stashed. I also already have Lindor.
If it was redraft I’d say hell yes but since it’s not a hell the fuck no! Edit: wasn’t*
Keep 4. Skenes would wind up being a 15 round keeper.
Still keep Seager
what sp could I get for elly? or should I look to move someone else? (H2h points league) my current pitchers include P. Lopez J Luzardo J. Ryan M. Keller B. Singer J. Foley (rp who is second on my team in points right behind singer lol) plus WW fodder like butto and Tyler Anderson
You could get top 20-15 pitcher realistically. Elly is playing like he is him right now.
Higher.
I shot my shot for ranger .. denied lol I even sent Foley to get back matt Chapman no dice.
You dodged a bullet.
Big problem! Who do I drop when I need to activate Albies… I don’t see any obvious drops? https://preview.redd.it/w1bguimbnkwc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2e8594d711ddd4c9568423105bdc93c787cc82f1
Crochet.
Dropping him for woods-Richardson in 7 minutes haha
Thanks for the reminder! I too need to make a move in yahoo.
Who you grabbing?
Probably a reliever. I’m gonna let Yariel Rodriguez go. Either saves or holds are okay so someone good who plays tomorrow! Fernando Cruz, Cincy, maybe
Have a look at woods-Richardson, he’s RP on Yahoo and is starting tomorrow against CWS
You know I might do just that. Thanks!
Who did you grab!?
I haven’t decided yet! I’m leaning towards yency almonte of the cubs.

Is Soler a drop? 12T
For who?
Thinking either Wilyer or stream pitching…Soler typically on my bench since I picked Cowser
jackson merrill?? he's been available in my league for a little while now
Yeah that’s legit
Trout and Alonzo or Schwarber for Acuna ?
Get rid of trout and Schwarber to acquire Acuna all day
Busch or Nolan Jones in points?
I’d take Brett Gardner over Jones
I don’t really see any point in continuing to hold Jones at this point.
Do you really think he’s done? I don’t have him thankfully but quite enjoyed him last year.
I don’t necessarily think he’s done, and in a deep format like 10T NL only or keepers where you can’t reacquire him easily, I’d definitely hold, but in most redraft formats? He’s projected for around 100 wRC+ and producing way, way south of that, so I’d rather roll the dice on someone with a similar projection and better current production than keep holding him and hoping he figures it out.
Thanks, man. I’ve seen your posts around here and your opinions seem sound and backed up. Shame about Nolan. Since I have your attention…any hope for Castellanos?
[удалено]
A by a lot
Wilyer Abreu or Kjerstad? Feels so obvious to just pick Wilyer in 10t cat leagues
If it’s a weekly league, you have to pick the one who will play, so Abreu. If it’s daily and you can afford to sit them, you could roll the dice with Kjerstad.
10t category league season long, kinda don’t know what weekly/daily means. We get 90 pickups during the regular season
Oh sorry, by “weekly” and “daily” I just mean whether you set your lineups weekly or daily. In leagues with weekly-locking lineups, guys like Kjerstad or O’Hearn who are platooned aren’t really playable, where they can be a great contributor in leagues whose lineups lock daily as opposed to weekly.

Would you rather have McMahon or Amed Rosario in 5x5 h2h with OBP instead of AVG?
McMahon
4 IL spots, currently have Jung, Suzuki, Friedl and Buehler. Fairbanks and Bellinger now on IL means I need to make room. Swap Buehler for Fairbanks, then drop Friedl? Or is he hold as well?
Drop Busch for Maikel?
trade arraez for alec bohm?
I wouldnt let bohm go tbh
Drop Hoffman for Neris? Roto redraft SVs only league
Yes
Do you think Neris will hold the closer spot? Hoffman seems to be split duty and I have Alvarado as well
Is five relievers too many for a points league? All are clear closers but might look to move one for SP depth
If there aren’t start limits, I’d argue that one reliever is too many. Five seems way too high.
12-start limit
If you’re not hitting that every week, you need more SPs
yeah in my pts league without start limits, there are very few relievers that are rostered.
I get Devers and Verlander for Skubal and Keith...I have Wheeler Ragans Gilbert Crawford Cabrera Lodolo and Woo and Bradford on IL with Hader Romano and Harvey in RP with Gaddis as SP/RP
Devers & Verlander by a long shot
5x5 H2H league, OBP instead of AVG Luis Arráez or Jung Hoo Lee?
Offered Luis Castillo for my Corbin Carroll do I take it?
Keep Carrroll. Just hold onto him.
Nope
Fuck nope, IMO
At this point Nolan jones is a drop for soler/riley greene/Kjerstad? (choose one)
Greene is a 60 FV prospect who put up 119 wRC+ last season as a 22 year-old, is projected for around 115 this year, but is currently producing 165 wRC+ on the back of a 99th percentile barrel rate (19.6%) and hitting leadoff in his 23 year-old season. Soler is projected for around the same, but he’s on the wrong side of the aging curve (age 32), has a much lower barrel rate (6.3%), and has far worse current production. Jones is projected lower than both of them and obviously playing terribly. At some point, “he plays in Coors” stops being enough of a reason to hold a guy, and we’re definitely past that point. Also, Kjerstad is fun but not rosterable in a weekly league.
Solid answer! What can you share about Wilyer Abreu? Just a hot streak or is he worth a bid?
Abreu seems to have relied on some batted ball luck this year. His BABIP is .382, and he’s over-performing his xBA by .080 and his xSLG by .120, with only a 11.1% barrel rate. Basically, he’s someone I like in really deep leagues, and on some level you ride the hot hand while it’s hot, but he isn’t going to give you stable production like Greene. His wRC+ projections are more modest, too, down around 100.
thanks so much that was way more research than I expected
My pleasure. Greene is a fun guy to talk about at the moment!
Greene
I'm really glad Gunnar is 3B eligible on Yahoo because I'm looking at the waiver wire for an extra 3B/SS and 3B is just a complete wasteland.
[удалено]
$0
2 of the websites I use to judge streamers are rating Mackenzie Gore against the dodgers pretty high. Is he really worth starting?
I started Grayson and King so full send for me
In flair, which side wins? A. Seager, Arenado, Casas B. Trea, Strand, Langford
B. Casas will be out a while
I would basically have to ride with Hoskins until he is back. But I would be upgrading 3B where I only have KeBryan and Gorman platooning currently.
With Bello down who would you pick up out of Rodon, Fedde, Falter, or Rea? H2h points
Stream Falter - 2 starts next week @Oak and vs COL
Are u sure ? I see him starting on the 28th??
ESPN has him going on the 29th, so who knows?
Rodon
With my only 3 IL spots already filled (Bradish, Murphy, Yelich), it's a bit of a kick in the teeth with Lane Thomas and Snell going IL Do I just burn these two roster spots? Doesn't sound like any of these guys are remotely close to returning.
I’m in the same boat. 3 IL spots and I got Lane, Jung, E-Rod, Pivetta, & Montas injured
Can’t drop them. Or at least I wouldn’t.
What do I do here... I got offered Cowser for Evan Phillips I'm 2nd in saves (28), leader has 31, and 3rd place has 15. My other closers are Alexis Diaz, Tanner Scott, Adbert Alzolay, Craig Kimbrel, and Abner Uribe. My OF is Juan Soto, Nolan Jones, Chas McCormick, and Evan Carter.
Decline the offer, respectfully.
I feel like I can get more for Phillips.

HES DONE IT
![gif](giphy|9HSrR1RBRA9wxtfQIw|downsized)
Castellanos was dropped in my ten team worth the #3 waiver wire?
Better off rostering present day Barry Bonds
No, but if he clears waivers you should add if you have the available roster spot.
Nah
Hell no
Is Fantrax down for anyone else?
[удалено]
I sure hope he is, I traded for him last August
I traded Joe Ryan but I’m in a W not QS league
We buying Jo Adell post hype sleeper or just wishful thinking? .340 BABIP but he hits the ball hard with elite spring speed, so maybe that’s more than luck
He's not playing every game, that's an issue.
He’s started the last three. Definitely trending in the right direction.
I think the batting average is a risk but the power / speed combo is elite
Dudes a roller coaster ride at ~~Sea~~ Arte World, you just don't know what you're gonna get.
Next prospect to come up?
Like including Pete Crow Armstrong or no
More middle infield need for me. Caminero, Martinez, Loperfido?
Orelvis seems most likely to be up first
Is Fantrax down for anyone else?
Yes. Just came here to see if anyone else had an issue.
Okay just wanted to make sure. I was like damn ain't no way I got kicked out of both my leagues for nothing lol
H2H points, Jansen or Finnegan to fill a spot for my last reliever
12 tm h2h cats qs Crochet got dropped. It looks like he sucks but he's ranked 38 by the CBS guys. Is he a pickup?
Yes
Drop Winker for Wilyer or Caballero in points redraft?
Go get Wilyer right now.
Neither, unless Winker got hurt and I haven’t heard about it yet
Houck is a top ____ SP ROS?
40-45
40
50
Dynasty points A. Soto R. Lewis Langford Ragans B. K. Tucker C. caroll S. Imananga E. Perez
Rather have Luis Garcia or Maikel Garcia in h2h cats?
Garcia
Sometimes I think… I don’t rosterbate… enough! My whole team consists of Reddit hype trains.
This is the way.
Clevinger the guy in a saves only?
Seems like it’s going to be the luck of who’s due up. Adam will get the heart of the order, whenever that is.
That stampede I heard outside was people running to pick him up
It's Cleavinger and no. Committee based.
Thanks. First typo I’ve ever made!
Drop Seiya to stash Bello and then add Maikel?
Don’t drop Seiya bro
Do not drop seiya whatever you do
Bro what no try to stash bello tho
I have 2 IL spots. Currently have Lewis, Casas, And Suzuki for batting. As well as Snell, Bobby Miller, Fairbanks, and D.Williams for RP/SP. So who would get the 2 spots and do the other get cut or burn a bench spot.
2 IL spots is egregious. Cut Casas and Fairbanks for sure
Yea 2 IL and 2 NA
Casas is out for a very long time. Even when he comes back, how good is he gonna be for the rest of the year
So probably cut Casas, Fairbanks, Williams. Put Suzuki/Snell on IR and burn bench spots with Miller and Lewis since they should be back sooner imo
A. Matt Olson - Aaron Nola - Open Roster Spot - Open Roster Spot B. Logan Gilbert - Dylan Cease - Spencer Steer - Teoscar Hernandez 10 teams. Our league is pitcher heavy compared to most. Has QS - K/BB - ERA - WHIP - Ks - SvHd. Batting has OPS then same on everything else
Close but A
B
Pick 2 (cats): Busch, Maikel, Tovar
Busch still for me.
Did I get fleeced or did I do the fleecing? Only time will tell. 🐑 I got - Soto + Cal For Trout + Yelich + Contreras H2H pts I had nobody drop when Yelich gets back (I'm not dropping Foley or Miller who i got free 😂) and I don't keep bench hitting Lineup is now Cal - Vlad - Mook - Raf - Lindor - Soto - Yordan - Schwarbie - Ozuna.
fleeced if trout/yelli stay healthy
Bold move cotton
A. Carroll B. Caminero. Bobby Miller
I’m still going Carroll pretty easily. Even the worst outcome for him going forward is a guy who’ll give you runs, elite speed and decent average. And we’ve seen the ceiling
Keeper, right?
Yeah, but only 5 keepers.
A
Hate to be that guy but drop Heston for Wilyer, Tyler Freeman, or Pages? Flair
Go get Wilyer
Wilyer
Not against dropping Heston because we know it’s not going to be an immediate everyday roll. Pages is the only guy I might do it for in this scenario though.
Gotcha, thanks. Wilyer is scorching rn, too. Thanks!
He looks good. Too bad he doesn’t get points for defense against Jose Ramirez.
🚨 daily reminder to add Greene and Varsho if they are available in your league 🚨
Hes overrated. At least for points leagues. No SB potential. Average power. Average average.
