[ad_1]
| 7:31 |
: Here are the winning bids from the two 15-team Tout Wars leagues.
|
| 7:31 |
:
|
| 7:31 |
: Who are some prospects to keep an eye on that might be called up in the next couple weeks?
|
| 7:31 |
: Hey Jeff – thanks as always for these. Desperate for steals. Any potential upcoming call-ups that could rack em up?
|
| 7:33 |
: I don’t see anyone in particular. What we may see is what happened with the Reds needing to promote Phillips with several guys on the IL.
|
| 7:33 |
: Oh, one place to attack is the Dodgers rotation with Pepiot a major target
|
| 7:33 |
: Can you see Oviedo becoming an all star level pitcher?
|
| 7:33 |
: Can you see Oviedo becoming a 1 or 2?
|
| 7:34 |
: He needs to find some consistency. Maybe put together three good starts
|
| 7:34 |
: Are you trusting Jordan Walker, DJLM, Zack Gelof, Sal Frelick, or Tork in H2H playoffs and, if any of them, what order do you rank the level of trust?
|
| 7:35 |
: Sure on all of them depending on the other options. Rank of Tork, Gelof, DJLM, Frelick, and Walker
|
| 7:36 |
: Is Kerry Carpenter a source of speed after three steals in two weeks?
|
| 7:37 |
: 71st percentile Sprint Speed should mean he gets about 10 SB a season
|
| 7:37 |
: For this week : Start Harrison at home vs Rockies or start Zack Thompson at Reds ? I need to drop one to activate Josh Naylor
|
| 7:37 |
: Hello Jeff, I streamed Zack Thompson today on your endorsement.
|
| 7:39 |
: Thompson is fine today but I have him as a drop in a couple leagues because I’m not going to start him in his next two starts @CIN, vs PHI.
|
| 7:39 |
: In 15-teamers, there are no better options, but would go with Harrison
|
| 7:40 |
: Jeff, I’m in a tough spot: Weekly H2H lineup locks tomorrow. Do I start H. Greene, who’s eligible to come off the COVID list Friday vs. STL, or start a much worse pitcher who’s guaranteed to take the ball?
|
| 7:40 |
: I’d go with the sure thing. Also, Greene hasn’t been great so the dropoff might not be that much
|
| 7:42 |
: Taj Bradley over everyone in your article? Specifically bidding on him vs. Canning & Wicks/Thompson
|
| 7:42 |
: These guys are all so close and we are working on small samples. I’d focus on the opponent right now.
|
| 7:42 |
: Is Hunter Renfroe worthless in a 14 team league?
|
| 7:43 |
: Probably. In my 15-teamers, there are several guys I’m bidding on I’d want over Renfroe
|
| 7:43 |
: Jeff, have you heard anything regarding J. Soler? Trying to figure out if i can lock him into my lineup for the week or find a replacement
|
| 7:43 |
: No and let me know if you do.
|
| 7:44 |
: Hi, Jeff! Not sure whether D. Canzone qualified for your WW Report. Any thoughts on him? He faces seven RHPs this week.
|
| 7:45 |
: He should be added by some team in 12-team, 5 OF leagues
|
| 7:45 |
: I know his Razzball projection was encouraging.
|
| 7:45 |
: Jeff, I appreciate you doing these all season.
|
| 7:46 |
: Standard 5 x 5 who you have next week, casas, pham, or Mauricio?
|
| 7:46 |
: Chas has been on the bench 3 times in the last 5 games. Start him or McNeil in a UT spot in a H2H points league playoff week? McNeil has just 5 games on the sked next week including vs 2 lefty starters but he still has the edge, right?
|
| 7:46 |
: I’d go with Chas or possibly find a replacement
|
| 7:46 |
: ROS – Jasson Dominguez or Mauricio?
|
| 7:47 |
: For me it’s Mauricio … I found in my bidding the position mattered the most
|
| 7:47 |
: Do you like Jorge Polanco or Zach Gelof better for next week and rest of season in roto?
|
| 7:48 |
: Gelof for the combo. I don’t want to bet on Polanco’s injury histroy
|
| 7:48 |
: C Sale has better ERA estimators than actual stats, but appears to have a tough road ahead. He’s also really been laboring to get through innings since coming off the IL. Counting every 5th game, his remaining starts would be: BAL, NYY, @TEX, TB, @BAL. Do you see more value in holding him or streaming that slot in a 12T mixed w/30 man rosters? Thanks.
|
| 7:49 |
: It all comes down to the replacement. I know the best available option in some of my leagues was Zach Davies. Sale >>>>>>>Davies
|
| 7:49 |
: “long may you run, long may you run” – will Willi Castro get playing time to be relevant in speed category ROS?
|
| 7:49 |
: I don’t think so, especially with Buxton about to return.
|
| 7:50 |
: Thanks for the last minute advice Jeff. How would you rank these Cs? O’Hoppe, Bailey, Endy, Wong. 15 team 2C roto, currently have O’Hoppe
|
| 7:51 |
: The key with C’s is what you need. I know I’ve moved to Wong in several leagues because he can steal a base. See what you need and then check their projections.
|
| 7:51 |
: Bader worth rostering in 12s? Seems like he might be platooned now
|
| 7:52 |
: I don’t think so anymore. The Reds OF needs another week to sort itself out
|
| 7:52 |
: Thank you in advance for these, Jeff! I’m in 4th place and have a legit chance for 2nd place by this time next week. I have a UTIL spot available: Sal Frelick, Carlos Santana or Nolan Schanuel.
|
| 7:53 |
: It’s another example of what are your needs to move up. I know I’ve added or adding Schanuel where I need AVG. Frelick for speed. Santana for power
|
| 7:53 |
: Does Reynaldo Lopez hold much value for holds in 12-team points league ROS?
|
| 7:54 |
: It’s so tough to know after 3 games with his new team. I’d find another option for this week.
|
| 7:54 |
: Where would Littell be relative to Harrison, Sanchez from the WW article?
|
| 7:54 |
: He’d be right there with them
|
| 7:55 |
: Hey Jeff- For this week in a weekly points format: Start Pfaadt two step (vs COL, @ Cubs) while also starting Kikuchi (KC) in a RP slot OR steer clear of Pfaadt and use Fairbanks as an RP instead in a 7 game week at home (BOS/SEA)? Scoring format: W (10) L (-5) SV (8) K (2) IP (2)
|
| 7:55 |
: I’m rolling with Pfaadt
|
| 7:55 |
: Which is the real me? The one who just hit another HR and is getting $400 bids, or the one projected to wOBA under .300 by every system?
|
| 7:56 |
: Probably somewhere in-between, but those max bids will be coming
|
| 7:56 |
: What reasons(s) for Goodman not being higher on your WW list? Is it more than just the lack of speed?
|
| 7:57 |
: Correct, not a balanced profile compared to the other guys. Now some teams just need HR and he’s a great options. Stewart also.
|
| 7:57 |
: Quintana worth the pick up for the 2start week
|
| 7:59 |
: I’m not sure his Sunday start will happen with only 5 games this week. It seems like a 2-step the next week against ARI and CIN
|
| 7:59 |
: Which of these streaky catchers would you ride next week? Gary Sanchez (3 phil 3 at Hou) Keibert Ruiz (2 vs NYM 3 vs LAD) or MJ Melendez (3 vs CWS 3 at TOR)? Thanks Jeff.
|
| 7:59 |
: Thanks in advance, Jeff, what low-rostered starting pitchers should I be watching?
|
| 8:00 |
: There are so few. Two I didn’t write about but could be useful are SD’s Avila and STL’s Rom. Again keep an eye on the Dodgers and Braves who each have an open slot
|
| 8:01 |
: Did Kutter Crawford’s recent blowup shake your faith in him at all?
|
| 8:01 |
: Why do some Tout owners have SO MUCH FAAB $ left with a month to go?
|
| 8:02 |
: We can get some money back for IL guys done for the season based on their auction costs. Trout and Ohtani (pitcher) were both recent pay days
|
| 8:02 |
: time to drop mccormick and y. diaz since pt will be inconsistent moving forward?
|
| 8:03 |
: Yes, depending on the options.
|
| 8:02 |
: Any idea who will come up for the Braves for the start on Tuesday? Dodd? Soroka? Are either of them worth rolling the dice on?
|
| 8:03 |
: No idea, I’ve been looking myself
|
| 8:03 |
: is Carlos hernandez droppable even if I’m chasing saves?
|
| 8:03 |
: Probably if there any other options
|
| 8:03 |
: Taj bradley or reese Olson ros? Are either better than a middle reliever for al only?
|
| 8:04 |
: I like both and would go Bradley if you need Wins
|
| 8:04 |
: Why Oakland not playing Ruiz. You’d think a talent like this could put some fannies in the stadium. Dumb dumb.
|
| 8:05 |
: He’s not a major league hitter, never really has been. Joey Gathright 2.0
|
| 8:05 |
: Do you think cle can fix or make a tweak with giolito to be more effective this year? Park is better. Are you starting him tomorrow in 12 team roto?
|
| 8:05 |
: Start … sure. I have no idea on a fix
|
| 8:06 |
: Any hope for story ros? Would you cut him in 12 team leagues?
|
| 8:06 |
: I don’t think he’s healthy and it’s tough to know when he will be OK
|
| 8:06 |
: Julien a no-brainer 2024 keeper for the Twins?
|
| 8:06 |
: would you rather add kelenic or mauricio
|
| 8:07 |
: Oh … Mauricio because I think there is a chance Kelenic gets platooned.
|
| 8:07 |
: Any love for Gabriel Arias? Big Ks but PT and stats are there
|
| 8:07 |
: Some where I only need power or a bench bat
|
| 8:08 |
: I am getting short on Faab in an 11-team 6×6 roto (avg+obp). Do I need Rengifo on my bench? (Right now it’s Tommy Pham & Brandon Lowe)
|
| 8:08 |
: No, hold tight
|
| 8:08 |
: Throwing a dart on a possible pitcher stash for 2024, NL only dynasty: Which Cubs SP, Taillon or Wicks?
|
| 8:09 |
: Is Alek Thomas a good streamer next week? Seems to be hitting higher in the lineup
|
| 8:09 |
: Five righties, close depending on options.
|
| 8:09 |
: any offenses you are targeting with regards to streaming SPs for Ks?
|
| 8:10 |
: I focus on the pitcher and his team and then use the opposing team as a tie breaker.
|
| 8:10 |
: Are the stars aligning for Edward Olivares to actually play everyday?
|
| 8:10 |
: They are just messing with us.
|
| 8:11 |
: Will Smith or Helsley down the stretch for saves?
|
| 8:11 |
: Probably Helsley
|
| 8:11 |
: Adolis walked it off today but it’s been a rough few weeks. Ride him into the h2h playoffs for 6 at home vs HOU/OAK or go with Arozarena in a 7 gamer at home against BOS/SEA? Have to start one or the other in a weekly h2h points matchup.
|
| 8:13 |
: What are in, a two-team league where the option is either Garcia or Arozarena. The pair would be the best two outfielders on most of my teams. Of the pair, I like Arozarena.
|
| 8:13 |
: I mean Eovaldi going to start without a rehab?
|
| 8:13 |
: I just read something about this on MLBTR …
|
| 8:16 |
: Calhoun likely to lose time with Naylor back. I like Meadows then Canzone
|
| 8:16 |
: Would you churn Travis d’Arnaud for a replacement level C (e.g. Jeffers, Endy, Fermin, Campusano) in 15-team NFBC with limited funds or just let him roll?
|
| 8:17 |
: I’d churn and go with Jeffers
|
| 8:17 |
: Rotoworld sy Eovaldi Tuesday
|
| 8:18 |
: Rotowire his him pencilled in (not confirmed)
|
| 8:18 |
: In a 12-teamer, you like Canning or Silseth better this year and next? Hard to know?
|
| 8:18 |
: I don’t have a preference right now
|
| 8:19 |
: Brett Rooker , Max Kapler or Alex Kirilloff. Pick two for a daily mixed roto. Thanks again
|
| 8:19 |
: Rooker and Kepler. I hope there isn’t another Kapler
|
| 8:19 |
: Lewis / Mauricio / Crawford in that order of bidding?
|
| 8:20 |
: That seems right
|
| 8:20 |
: H2h points. Lynn or Lugo? Lugo is solid, Lynn has a tentative two step first week of the playoffs, Lugo has his next match against Houston
|
| 8:20 |
: I’d go Lynn, but I play to Win
|
| 8:21 |
: Well, that’s it for this week. Talk to everyone in seven days.
