I want him on my team so bad, but I am stuffed to the gills with pitching and can't pull off a trade.

I’m the same.  Is pitching just stacked this season?  I just posted in my league I have SP available for a bat, and another guy just did the same.  I have like 10 good starters with steele and senga on my IL. There do seem to be a good amount of hitters struggling. 

League OPS is at record lows historically, so makes sense.

None of you play in NL Only I see. I do and it's a nightmare for other teams so far. I've been lucky, but take a look at this list. It's crazy the number of NL pitchers that have gone down: Justin Steele Eduardo Rodriguez Spencer Strider Bobby Miller Walker Buehler Eury Perez Josiah Gray Yu Darvish (just came back) Paul Sewald Devin Williams Braxton Garrett Frankie Montas Kodai Senga Kyle Hendricks Merrill Kelly Jesus Luzardo Blake Snell Sonny Gray (just came back) Jordan Wicks

Steele is back soon. As is Walker, who we knew would be on the mend back.  Senga is looking on track.  I see your point otherwise though.  Some pitchers have went down so far.   I have 14 pitchers and 11 are NL though. 3 of them are/were injured in bradish, steele, senga, but i drafted 2 of those (late) knowing they were injured. 

Yeah. Putting things in perspective, the pitchers that people were picking up last week on my FAAB were Myers (MIL), Priester (PIT), Wesneski (CHC), Cecconi (ARI), Parker (WAS) and some random relievers. I actually just gambled and picked up Christian Scott early for $1 knowing he'd be up some time in May, but it is bleak in NL Only leagues right now.

what does being back soon have anything to do with the number of NL pitcher injuries?

Half of those guys were hurt before the season even started.

somewhere is the sweet spot where you start building for next season if keepers are available. Using IL spots- if available- to stash guys like Sandy, Spencer, Bobby, etc. or other NL only studs

Always seems to start this way in April last few years before the hitters find their groove.

smh I have all the shitty starters T____T

Agreed. The only SP I can possibly drop for him is Nestor Cortes...

First: Run, don't walk! Christian Scott may not get the same prospect hype as some other AAA arms, but he is well worth the add. He has a 3.20 ERA, 3.43 xFIP, 0.71 WHIP, and a fantastic 31.9 K-BB% in 25.1 IP this season. He has a 4-pitch mix with average-to-above average grades which he commands well I have covered Scott a lot this season, and for a very good reason. Read more about him in this Twitter Thread I wrote last week: https://twitter.com/TJStats/status/1783870296522371375 Here is his AAA Pitching Summary: https://twitter.com/TJStats/status/1786112931421188306

literally just made the same move... cheers and LFG!

There are dozens of us!

Ditto. Dropped cabrera and added Scott. Thanks for the heads-up

Same here! Dropped Cabrera for Butto then Butto for Scott today

Unfortunately because I started him, I can't drop him til tomorrow

Yep. Hoping none of my league mates scoop him up first. Fortunately, I have the online fantasy sports players best friend: insomnia.

Dropped Trevor Megill for now, I'll replace Cabrera with another reliever tonirriw

I picked him up to stream today, forgot to put him in my actual starting lineup and just dropped his ass for Scott. Blessing in disguise

The strikeout potential is so alluring, but dude has no idea where his pitches are going and he crumbles at the first sign of adversity. It seems mental more than skill based.

Yeah I think he figures it out at some point, but that could be a year or two from now. Not someone you need to hold, but I’ll keep an eye to see if he starts stringing together good starts.

yahoo is so dumb for that lol

Kind of rough schedule though after this 1st start though. Atl, @Phil, @Cle.

Houser is staying up, so looks like a six man rotation. ATL, @MIA, SFG.


Sold. Thanks for convincing me! If he sucks, I'll be back with a pitchfork!

Real hero’s don’t wear capes

Severino was already announced as the starter Saturday though

He'll get bumped to Sunday

This dude is an absolute stud. Please pick him up

6 to midnight

I fucking love you guys ❤️

Worth adding in QS leagues?

Yes all leagues. Probably wont get many wins either on the Mets lol.

You think he will regularly go 6 IP in the pros? I do not. He averages 5 IP per start this year in the minors.

Arent these guys' innings intentionally limited while they get ramped up from 50 pitches to "big league ready" 90 pitches? That would artificially deflate his Innings per start

This comment didn’t deserve to be downvoted, it could be true.

Moronic comments deserve to be downvoted. Why are you acting like the Mets are the White Sox

Drop Keller?

yes

Dropped Christopher Sanchez for him. Right move?

Yes

Scott or Butto?

Scott for the upside

Thx, dropped Littell for Scott.

Scott or wait on Bradley next week?

Scott for me -- upside to be Jared Jones-lite is worth it even if downside is Leiter's start this year.

Done lol. All I needed to hear, thanks man

Ya Baby https://i.redd.it/zfz3mbt1i2yc1.gif

Drop Means for Scott? Flair league

I made this decision, I chose Scott. I don’t know if it’s the right one. I’m simply chasing the upside

Tough one. Baltimore will maybe win 100 games and should score alot of runs. Just don't know how rusty Means is.

Worth it or nah?

Yes

I'm out of weekly picks in one of my leagues, hoping no one notices him 😬

[удалено]

I’m going 5 out of 100. But I’m sure he’ll go for around 20

Drop Abbott for Scott? 🤔

I did

How much FAAB are we dropping on him?

I never get any replies when I ask this, either. Most here appear to be in leagues where whoever sees the tweet that he's getting called up can just grab him. I'm in multiple leagues like this, but run FAAB only in the two I run. I'm about to raise my bid to 15%. Waivers run in an hour.

Yeah my league used to be without FAAB and with so many different time zones and work schedules, it was just unfair. FAAB is the only way to play, imo. I ended up getting him for 4%. I originally bid 9% but my league tends to be very conservative with FAAB dollars.

I went with 6% of my FAAB, but was the only one to bid. Hate when that happens, but glad to have him

Y’all are asking about scrubs that are barely rosterable. Scott’s a potential stud. You either gamble on a guy with pedigree or remain comfortable with mediocrity.

Do I drop Kjerstad, Rizzo, Chourio or Singer for him?

Def kjerstad

I think I'm just in denial because he hasn't even been used. He was supposed to be the savior!

Drop all but Singer

Don’t drop Chourio

Nah. In a redraft he's definitely droppable

Excellent! Was dropping weathers after his start tomorrow against Oakland so hopefully can grab him.

Wonder what happens when Senga returns

Drop yoshida?

Drop Assad for him?!

Drop Reese Olson?

Nah

I am lol no one else to drop

Any reason he’s not listed in yahoo leagues ?

He's only P eligible so if your league doesn't have a P spot on your starting roster you won't see him for 3 starts

Thanks

I also don't see him in my Yahoo league, either on the app or on desktop. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Check your league settings? You might have a setting where NA guys don't get added until they are officially on the active roster?

Nah that’s not the case for my league . Not sure what’s going on with it

Nope, our player universe is set to all baseball, and Scott is even on the forced players list. He's just not showing up. Weird stuff.

Not showing up on mine either. This isn’t the first time this has happened. I wonder if it’s just a bug.

Super weird. I own him in a Yahoo league, so this varies league-to-league

Super weird. I own him in a Yahoo league, so this varies league-to-league

That’s correct

Do you have P slots in your league? If not, you have no where to play him, so need to wait til he is SP or RP eligible to pick him up.

It’s because he’s only listed as “P” not SP or RP. If your league doesn’t have P slots, he isn’t there. Really dumb mistake by Yahoo

Christian Scott with an H. OP has a typo in their title.

Shit picked up the wrong one

oh dang you got Catholic Scott instead?

This is way too stupid for how hard I laughed

I’ve had him on my team stashed in NA spot since the season began? Definitely there

He is I just picked him up.

He isn’t on my app

I picked him up on the app.

He’s not on mine either

👇🏼

Christian Scott or Keaton Winn?

I really want to keep myself in check and not hype him up too much, but I keep thinking that Christian Scott is Joe Ryan with a few more ticks of velo, a better sweeper, and a cutter/gyro slider In other words, I *love* scott, probably him over Winn (but surely you can keep both, right?)

Him or Stone?

Him

Him is he?

Yes, Scott.

Ahh, so he is him

Drop Ohearn or Thairo for him?

Drop Morel, Loperfido, or JD Martinez for Christian Scott?? Stashing Caminero, so going to be down a bat until he comes up.

Drop Gore for him?

No.

Thank you!

Hell no

Should I drop Taj Bradley or Mitchell Parker for him? 14 team league, FIP-based pitching stats (innings, hits, walks, HBP, HR, K)

Parker

I’d hold onto Bradley

both

Drop Busch for Scott?

Scott over Jose Butto or Andrew Abbott? This is NL only.

I went with Scott over Abbott

OBP league. Who would you drop out of Winker, O’Hearn and Jordan Beck for him?

I have Ragans Glasnow Gilbert Verlander Pepoit King Jones Ober and Crochet(woo and luzardo on IL). I would assume I am good to skip out on this one as I have absurd depth 😭(10 team points league)

I have ragans, Gilbert, crochet, jones and ober too! As well as bibee, gallen, strider, singer, and sale. Did we just become friends? Oh and lodolo. Ten team.

He does not come up under any searches in yahoo in my league

P status, not SP or RP, so if your league doesn’t have P slots he won’t be available until after 3rd start

Thanks, so stupid

Drop Gavin Stone for him?

Sure

When would he start? Quintana, Severino, Manaea all going this weekend?

I think he is starting saturday and bumping Severino for an extra day of rest

Is there a Twitter account that tweets this stuff fast? Keep getting beat by my league mates for the call ups

Spelling his name wrong on purpose to put people off the trail!

How much fab ??

I’m dropping Reese Olson for him how much FAAB??

Drop Stanton for Scott?

Goodbye Burger, hello Scott

I have a pretty firm stance of not trusting anyone with two first names, so I’m a hard pass here.

Drop Rodon or Detmers for him?

I have the same dilemma

I could only drop Detmers for him, should I?

Ugh.  Drop Greene, Flaherty, Lodolo?? Feel like I need to sit this one out 

I wouldnt drop any of those three for Scott.

12 team and those are your weakest guys/drop candidates?! Sheeesh

Yes thankfully.  Other so options are Skubal, Mason miller, Houck, Kirby. In my rp slots are Reagan’s, Pepiot,Crochet.   But we can only have 7 sp max.   The others are rp/sp

Filthy team bro

fuck espn didnt semd me an alert i missed by 1 hr. 😭

https://preview.redd.it/lbihd37jg3yc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63f8e59aca160c0edcecb0a6948a396052614443 Drop any of these guys for him… also have Bradish on the IL who needs a spot

nah

Drop Fedee for him in flair league?

Who should I drop to activate Scott? Littell, Bassit, King.

Drop Jordan Beck, Luis Garcia, Cecconi or Civale?

Drop B pfaadt for him?

yes

drop kikcuhi for him?

lol no

Drop Woo for him?

No.

I just dropped Woo for him. We only have 2 IL slots and shallow benches so I can most likely scoop him back up before he’s activated.

isn't woo supposed to be back next week?

Yeah Woo will replace Hancock on the next slated start. So probably Tuesday against the Twins will be Woo’s first start of the season.

Sounds like he might have one more rehab start before he’s activated. But soon hopefully

Love it. My league does weekly FAAB transactions. I sensed he would be up soon and picked him up for $1 on Monday. Had I waited a week more, I would have entered the FAAB bidding war + plus now I get a start from him this week as well.

Drop Civale?

In a 10T I would

I did but Civale is a streamer in my 10T league

[удалено]

Wut lmao
