Sale for Harper in a 30 team league?

 

I'm conflicted because my offense is stout with

 

LeMahieu

Hiura

Vladito

Machado

Robert

Meadows

Happ

Donaldson

 

Bench

O'Neill

Cano

Miggy

Fisher

 

 

My pitching is

 

Verlander

Sale

Miley

Reyes

Puk

Sanchez (Aaron)

Borucki

Kuhl

Betances

Britton

Alvarado

Roe

Magill

Witgren

Biagini

 

I'd probably move Sale for Harper in LOD.

I would like some opinions on Nick Anderson.. Value in himself or only as a complimentary piece, comparative value? 7X7 HTH leagues.

 

Thanks

I would trade Kevin Alcantara for him

Looks like a top 10 reliever to me, possibly top 5. I would not take him over Josh Hader but there aren't many other obviously better relievers. In dynasty you might put younger guys like Edwin Diaz or Osuna above him, in redraft you probably take Kirby Yates and maybe Chapman over him... Anderson is similar to Ken Giles but I think Anderson has even more upside. This is all for leagues with saves and holds so not really considering closer security.

Thank you!! I very much appreciate it! Great analysis.

What is the best mix of SP vs RP to have in available ML slots when the season starts in a Dynasty 7x7 HTH league? In other words, 7 SP s and 5 RPs? (Not sure how many reserve spots there are in season on the 25 for pitchers. However, I hope you understand my question.

 

Thanks in advance.

My preference is to have 5 SP, 5 RP, and 3 SP/RP that are primarily relievers (that I can put in SP slots). Such that on any given day, I could accumulate stats from 7-8 pitchers.

 

Tough to get it to this point though. Takes ~3 months into the season and plenty of FA/waiver wire moves.

I think we should move this thread to the main forum. It's not really that off topic and I think it would get more attention over there. What do you guys think?

 

EDIT: Thanks!

So I have the #2 pick for a MiLB draft in a dynasty league. The available players are generally just the 2019 draftees and international signees. Who should I be targeting? Would the 16 year old Jasson Dominguez be a crazy pick or does that make sense? Not sure if any of the draftees excite me more than him.

[P2F]

I think it makes sense. My top 3 are Vaughn, Dominguez, and Rutschman, in that order.

Thanks buddy. The #1 guy is taking Riley Greene for some reason so I suppose I'll have to make a choice between Vaughn and Dominguez. After looking at it some it looks like Vaughn is the clear cut choice. Dominguez is intriguing but he's so young.

I have learned in these pools not to go with your own instinct. Go with the guy that has the most trade value. Watch other pools (LOD probably has the first draft) and follow the reactions. Dominguez warning would be Kevin Maitan. Warning against not picking him would be Vladdy. White Sox have shown a desire to compete really soon. Vaughn could be fast-tracked and debut as early as 2021. Not taking Adley downside is that you might be missing out on the next Buster Posey. The downside is you might have to cheer for an Oriole.

 

There is no right choice, you can only go wrong. Sorry you cannot go as wrong as the guy picking Riley Greene!

Vaughn, then I really like Green and Dominguez

Realistic: what do you guys expect from Vladdy this year? I own him in big money keeper league

I think there's too many variables to tell. If he has changed his body quite a lot, he might struggle initially until he gets used to them. He might also break out big. I wouldn't be surprised to see anything between 115 wRC+ and 140 wRC+. I think I'd be surprised outside of that.

.290/.355/.500 with like 25/85/85 if he stays healthy. huge variance though but 2019 is a not terrible floor from a 3B in fantasy

18 team dynasty, keep 30. I'm being offered Ohtani (the pitching version), Kluber, Christian Pache, Austin Hayes and Raisel Islesias for Javier Baez and Kyle Schwaber. I already have Trea Turner and Tatis at SS, with Baez losing his 2B eligibility and only one UTIL spot in the lineup available. Would I be better off focusing on trading him for a 2B or taking the deal and worry about second base later?

Don’t do that deal. Trade Baez elsewhere.

14 team dynasty. Would you take Franmil Reyes and #5 MilB pick for #2 overall pick?

Nope

nah. franmil seems like he would be close to replacement level.

[Spanky99]

Yeah, especially in a 14 team league.
