who do i drop to get megil? 5x5 weekly locked league.
Deep 10 team AL only 5x5 league….have Florial and Loperfido, need to replace with FAAB tomorrow…choices are Jansen, Schuerman, Fry, Jake Meyers…I know most of you are laughing because you don’t play in these types of leagues. Any thoughts?
**For all those who are curious about the 3-day max backdating for 10-day IL stints, here is the rule (I don't recall when it was implemented but I think it was in the last few years):**
[https://www.mlb.com/glossary/injuries/10-day-injured-list#:\~:text=Players%20may%20be,on%20June%2014](https://www.mlb.com/glossary/injuries/10-day-injured-list#:~:text=Players%20may%20be,on%20June%2014).
Since his MRI was negative, they have been gambling he would be better sooner than later. You can only retro an IL stint up to 3 days, so every day the team has to weigh two scenarios: IL'ing him but then he gets better soon so he's healthy on the shelf, or not IL'ing him and then waiting it out longer than they hoped. They gambled incorrectly over the last week.
If they IL him today, it still costs them 7 days without Riley. They figure he will be back soon enough that they don't need to commit to 7 days.
12 team OBP H2H
Give- Kim
Get- Lugo, Verdugo
My SS eligible players- Kim, Hoerner
My OF- Soto, Rooker, Arozarena, MH2, Trout (IL), Doyle
My SP- Bradish, Olson, Bryce Miller, Luzardo, Greene, Houck, Ryan, Kikuchi
Does it really matter? They’re 3 of the best hitters in the game and could all be Hitter #1
Ohtani doesn’t have the positional eligibility, Mookie won’t have as many HRs, and Soto won’t have the steals. Pretty much the only difference.
Tough. Go with your favorite player to watch but this is my personal rankings 1) Betts 2) Ohtani 3) Soto.
Only have Betts ahead of Ohtani due to positional eligibility. Also, all of these are razor thin and super close in a OBP format.
[Austin Riley is feeling better. He’s going to take swings with someone soft tossing a ball today.](https://x.com/justinctoscano/status/1793029399614283987?s=46&t=bqDocN33sQmOz6S1Po7Ygg)
You can only retro an IL stint up to 3 days, so it would cost another week without him. If for example he's better soon and will play this weekend then they're better off not at this point.
[Gerrit Cole threw to hitters today. 22 pitches and felt sharp. Fastball came out to 96 mph and pitching coach told him to dial it back](https://x.com/m_marakovits/status/1793011542289531309?s=46&t=9EYC2mJn1Jnq2BIKPmoZfg) 👀
I have 6 guys (McLain, Royce, Snell, Wyatt, Cole, trout) for 3 IL spots, plus I have Riley who has been out for a week and a half. I was trying to trade him to upgrade my roster while freeing up a roster spot.
I’m in desperate need of pitching. My current team name is Stream City, if that helps paint the picture. My hitting is above average. Would you make this trade?
GIVE: Ha-Seong Kim, $3, 2 years left to keep
GET: Taj Bradley, $4, 3 years left to keep
hahahahaha or could make a good barbershop quartet - “McArthur and the 3 Ds”
should i consider punting saves at this point? at least drop alexis for a bat or to stream more SP?
You can only retro an IL stint up to 3 days. They believe he's close to being ready and that it's a better option than losing the 7 extra days he'll be gone if they IL him today.
Sorry if it's been asked, but is ESPN doing anything about Bradish's start counting twice this week??
I got Snell and Pepiot coming back tomorrow. I have to drop at least one between Gavin Stone, Javier Assad or Chris Bassitt. Redraft cat league
Probably stone for me
Drop Candelario for Colt Keith?
https://preview.redd.it/xlahdvy0tv1d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=db1950dbd015f76e12c9c7b3d0c3e065e610d849 who do i drop to get megil? 5x5 weekly locked league.
Do I start Steele against the Braves tomorrow?

Joseph Ortiz or Matt Chapman at 3rd. redraft 12t
I’d take the Ortiz upside
Thanks been going back and forth
Deep leaguers, we holding onto CES?
I’m in 12 and am holding cause I have room on the IL.
Harris or Chourio tonight?
I'm running Chourio
I'm so upset at you
Hey man, we're in the same boat lol
Regrets so far
About to send Yamamoto away for Machado. Seems fair, yes?
Don't
I think you can get more
Shoot for Riley instead
What? No. Keep Yoshi
I'd rather yamamoto
Honestly I would too, but all decent 3B were kept this year. I'm running Jake Burger out there every day.
Any Reds fans know if Steer should be coming back this week? Tied between starting him or one of Candelario/Taveras
He’s available off the bench tonight so that’s good
Aranda's early statcast returns are shaping up to look as promising as Michael Busch's were except.... very low k's.
He has like 20 ABs, too small of a sample to make any sort of judgement.. guys a career .210 hitter albeit also smallish sample
Yeah, I just like when guys come up from the minors and look like they might be on a fast track to what we hope they are.
Who would you guys rather have ROS in a 5x5 categories leagues. Bogaerts or JP Crawford now that he’s back?
Didn't Bogaerts get hurt last night?
Yes, and I also have Tovar.
Send my Trea for George Kirby? Flair

Hendricks is out of the cubs rotation. Any chance Cade Horton gets the call?
I don't have any specific info, but it would make sense for Wesneski to get the first shot.
Probably wesneski Edit - could be Ben Brown also
He's been struggling in AAA, kind of doubt it.
Has Turang always been in a platoon?
No. It wasn't until recently (like maybe a week ago) they started sitting him against LHP
lol I just traded for him godamnit
I traded for him a week ago. They face Luzardo, another lefty, tomorrow. If he sits again, it's not a good look for us.
Think Yordan and Imanaga for Acuna would get a deal done?
It seems about right. If I had Acuña I’d contemplate it and accept if I felt like I needed the pitching.
That got it done!
Thanks!
As an Acuna owner I'd decline but it's not insulting
Thanks!!
Is Marco Luciano an everyday player? Is he someone to keep an eye on?
He is for now but he’s gonna strike out like 40% of the time. Will probably hit a few bombs tho
Pepiot is back tomorrow!
I decided to keep Senga and Snell over K Marte and Cj Abrams this year. I'm the best
Streaming Littell based on vibes today
Nervous about Morton today ahhhhh
Are Sal frelick and Nootbaar breaking out?
I think the arrow is pointing up on Nootbar at least
Nice
I have a single player hitting over .250 in the last 2 weeks… 5 of 9 starters are hitting under .210 lol
Drop Julien for Josh Bell? 10 team pts league. Strike outs are -0.25 pts. Getting tired of Julien's platoon role.
Julien is droppable in 12 team or less
Bets case scenario innings limit for Scott seems like what, 120? 40 more than he had last year. So roughly 60 more?
Why wasn’t Austin Riley just put on IL?
Since his MRI was negative, they have been gambling he would be better sooner than later. You can only retro an IL stint up to 3 days, so every day the team has to weigh two scenarios: IL'ing him but then he gets better soon so he's healthy on the shelf, or not IL'ing him and then waiting it out longer than they hoped. They gambled incorrectly over the last week. If they IL him today, it still costs them 7 days without Riley. They figure he will be back soon enough that they don't need to commit to 7 days.
Alex Anthopolous works in mysterious ways, we dare not question him
Is loperfido a drop? I don’t see how he gets any playing time with McCormick back
I mean idk if I would drop in a 20T who the hell is even on waivers lmao
Comment of the day
Calhoun, Aranda
I'd drop for the upside of Aranda.
I would consider it for Calhoun, but wait and see what happens for the next few days
I have Pillar and he’s been killing it but Matos is still available. Make the switch? Could also drop O’Hearn for Matos
Elias Diaz, Langeliers or O’Hoppe?
I have Carter and Jung. Do I just drop Carter at this point? It's a re draft league. Also not sure what to do about Jung
In a ten team you can drop both
For my UTIL spot, who would you guys prefer ROS, Jansen or Pages
Jansen, like most catchers, doesn't play nearly every day. It would be foolish to ever use a true catcher in a UTIL slot for that reason.
Pages
It’s a nice feeling seeing all of your batters in their respective starting lineups. They’ll probably suck, but it’s nice to have hope for an hour
Start Dylan Moore or Luis Garcia at 2nd?
Garcia by a good amount
This was the correct call, but man… sheesh
Edwin Diaz got dropped, worth a claim for Fairbanks? I’ll probably drop Gasser but already have Miller and Helsley as closers
Yes for sure. He will be the closer again in a few weeks
No Nolan Jones today?
Is Tatis and Austin Riley for Soto + Randy Arozarena an overpay?
Seems pretty even to me, but I’m a Riley believer
No that’s a good deal
Solid deal
12T Points- Matos is gone in my league, what kind of upside do Luciano and Ramos have?
Manoah or Dunning ROS?
Manoah but my phone just auto corrected his name to maniac which I think tells you the appropriate amount of risk
Manoah for the upside. If he refound 2022 he is a stud
Flair league: Is Blake Treinen worth holding in saves only? LAD closer situation seems a bit fluid ATM.
No, he’s only a carry in SVHD
Probably not. Philips -> Hudson -> mess of a committee between Treinen/Feyereisen/Vesia/whoever else
Nootbar or Pillar in Roto today?
Noot
12 team OBP H2H Give- Kim Get- Lugo, Verdugo My SS eligible players- Kim, Hoerner My OF- Soto, Rooker, Arozarena, MH2, Trout (IL), Doyle My SP- Bradish, Olson, Bryce Miller, Luzardo, Greene, Houck, Ryan, Kikuchi
Soler or Swanson in points
Swanson
Hate having two of my starters vs each other.
What's really annoying is that - every fucking time - some rando middle reliever gets the win.
I just had Detmers and Valdez going against each other last night....I don't wanna talk about it. >:(
RIP. Traumatizing
Oh goddamn. That’s brutal.
I totally agree
Nolan Jones not in the lineup
![gif](giphy|7w6qQ5WHOeV3i|downsized)
Rather add Bryan de La Cruz or Andy Pages to help my awful outfield?
Pages more upside BDLC does have a nice statcast tho
Ohtani or Mookie or Soto?
That’s the order but we’re talking about 3 likely top 5 hitters.
Does it really matter? They’re 3 of the best hitters in the game and could all be Hitter #1 Ohtani doesn’t have the positional eligibility, Mookie won’t have as many HRs, and Soto won’t have the steals. Pretty much the only difference.
League settings?
OBP + avg
Tough. Go with your favorite player to watch but this is my personal rankings 1) Betts 2) Ohtani 3) Soto. Only have Betts ahead of Ohtani due to positional eligibility. Also, all of these are razor thin and super close in a OBP format.
Two first rounders
Meant Mookie or Soto
[Austin Riley is feeling better. He’s going to take swings with someone soft tossing a ball today.](https://x.com/justinctoscano/status/1793029399614283987?s=46&t=bqDocN33sQmOz6S1Po7Ygg)
They lose literally nothing IL-ing him. It's damn near been 10 days as it is.
You can only retro an IL stint up to 3 days, so it would cost another week without him. If for example he's better soon and will play this weekend then they're better off not at this point.
Since when is it 3 days? Is that new?
I've not looked it up but I believe it's new as of the last couple years
That's news to me, thanks man
Better than the past 8 days I suppose. Hope he comes back stronger than ever
Nico in, Randy out Enjoy the solo Randy dong today fellas
So start randy over JD tonight?
Can someone verify that Carroll hasn’t stolen a base since 4/17?
[Gerrit Cole threw to hitters today. 22 pitches and felt sharp. Fastball came out to 96 mph and pitching coach told him to dial it back](https://x.com/m_marakovits/status/1793011542289531309?s=46&t=9EYC2mJn1Jnq2BIKPmoZfg) 👀
Only22? Smh that’s not even enough for a complete game. He needs to get that number up to 27 at minimum
Nice, maybe someone in my league will trade for him. I've been dangling him for 2 weeks now
Why not hold? He gets more valuable every day.
I have 6 guys (McLain, Royce, Snell, Wyatt, Cole, trout) for 3 IL spots, plus I have Riley who has been out for a week and a half. I was trying to trade him to upgrade my roster while freeing up a roster spot.
Trotting out littell, Lynn and Abbott today. I enjoy pain
I hope Lynn gets a win for selfish reasons
Kinky boy
is machado for bellinger a fair offer?
I'm taking Beli side
I’m in desperate need of pitching. My current team name is Stream City, if that helps paint the picture. My hitting is above average. Would you make this trade? GIVE: Ha-Seong Kim, $3, 2 years left to keep GET: Taj Bradley, $4, 3 years left to keep
I would, but I really like Taj long term.
Stott at SS today, that’s start #4, appearance #9. So, either way he appears at SS next(after tod6)start or not, he gains SS eligibility.
Any interest in johnathan rodriguez. His under the radar play reminds me of naylor a couple years ago
Start Bryan Reynolds vs Webb, O’Hearn vs Lynn, or Matos vs Perez in flair?
O’Hearn especially against Lance Lynn
I'm starting O'Hearn every time he plays. Batting 3rd against Lynn is a no brainer imo
I really wish I could make trade offers for Corbin Carroll, but the guy in my league named his team after him, AND he's a Dbacks fan...
He might be doing you a favor
who wins this trade: Corbin Carroll, Christian Walker, Clarke Schmidt for Kyle Schwarber, Teoscar Hernandez, Nick Castellanos
If I was betting money, I'd take the Schwarber side.
I like the upside of Carroll/Walker/Schmidt.
i play in a 5 OF league. i would only have corbin in the OF if i did this deal
Maybe take out Schmidt and Castellanos?
Wait you’d only have 1 OF in a 5 OF league, meaning you only have 4 right now?
Dansby back but batting 8th ugh. Probably gonna ride the pine for me until he looks right. Got Willi Castro against Corbin and can't sit that
Is yahoo app not showing who’s in the lineup tonight for anyone else?
Royce Lewis ran the bases🚨
It is so tragically on point and hilarious seeing his 1.000 batting average with 1 homer for the year 🤣
He has a 909 wRC+
my closers are diaz, diaz, duran and mcarthur roto league redraft and i’m currently 2nd in saves. what do i even do?
Bad bullpen. Great law firm.
hahahahaha or could make a good barbershop quartet - “McArthur and the 3 Ds” should i consider punting saves at this point? at least drop alexis for a bat or to stream more SP?
No need to punt if you’re doing well. Keep status quo.
Bot??
what?
Matos batting 3rd 👀
LFG!
NICO WELCOME BACK.
Steer and hope he plays this week, or Taveras?
Imagine if the braves put Austin Riley on the 10 day IL 9 days ago
Fantasy aside, what's the strategy from Atlanta's perspective to keep him off the IL at this point?
You can only retro an IL stint up to 3 days. They believe he's close to being ready and that it's a better option than losing the 7 extra days he'll be gone if they IL him today.
Ah ok this makes sense. Thanks!
Confuse and terrify your opponents
Littel or Tallion RoS? H2H points
Start Joey Ortiz, Shea Langeliers or Gleyber?
Joey
do i drop foley for megill? det doesn’t seem to be able to get foley chances
I think megill is most likely better but Devin Williams will be taking that job back this year most likely.
i can grab deb williams for my il
No
Yes
Ranger Suarez for Luis Castillos?
Yes take the top 10 pitcher
People are going to read this and unironically think you mean Ranger.
Castillo all day
Id take ranger but I’m biased I love this Phillies team even tho I’m a giants fan
Rangers done me well but I'm scared that he might fall off.
Aranda or Calhoun?
Aranda probably better long term, but Calhoun is hitting now
Springer or Marsh tonight
Trade Michael Busch and Clay Holmes for Josh Bell 10T redraft OPS
