Keep Nestor Cortes Jr. (I assume that's Nasty Nestor).

Dump everyone else. Probably someone better on the waiver wire.

[L54]

20-team dynasty, pretty good team and I have a bunch of shitbags to round my rotation out with. Please keep two:

 

Nasty Nestor

Cueto

Wacha

Cole Irvin

Yarbrough

Kwang-hyun Kim

 

Nestor

Wacha

Nestor and Yarbrough

 

If the Rays return Yar to a bulk reliever as I think they well, he could be very nice

Nestor for sure. Kim or Irvin MIGHT be marginally interesting.

If you have any starters in their 30's that ended the year on the DL you should try moving him first. Might be able to get a draft pick or something out of him. That'll open up another spot so you could keep 3 in theory.

Volpe or Mayer?

[Spanky99]

Volpe or Mayer?

 

lol

[Jimcanuck]

Volpe or Mayer?

 

Who do you hate more, Sox or Yanks?

[Carlos Danger]

Volpe or Mayer?

 

Probably doesn't really help. However, I suspect Mayer will stay with the Red Sox and hit at Fenway and in the AL East.

 

The Yankees have two highly rated SS and Volpe is their best trade piece. I think no guarantee Volpe stays a Yankee and could end up in Oakland or somewhere like that....

Good point. Could easily see Volpe headline an Olson trade.

Thinking about moving Robert in BORED:

 

Kelenic

Lux

Ian Anderson

Pick 1-3 Pretty fair I think

 

Or to my kid:

 

Carroll

Thomas

Detmers

Kirby.. maybe a late 1st too?

 

Thoughts?

[FantasyNewb]

I have Nick Gonzales and have an offer for Brujan or Cade Cavalli. Which of the 3 would you prefer?

[Carlos Danger]

Gonzales, Cavalli and Brujan... As spec SPs go, Cavalli is one of my favorite...

Still trying? lol

My kid turned me down on Bogey. Going to approach him with said deal if Orgking or whatever doesn’t bite. Wanted to kind of announce it so it’s not taken as sketchy.

Announcing it is sketchy, lmao

I'll probably hold onto him then. Thanks.

Volpe or Mayer?

 

Volpe, higher potential

I just took over another Dynasty team. For position players it has:

 

C: Will Smith

1st: Bellinger

2nd: Albies

SS: Bogaerts

3rd: Devers

OF: Yelich

OF: Julio Rodriguez

OF: Gurriel

UI: Witt Jr

U: Reyes

 

I'm trying to upgrade at 1st partly because I don't know if Bellinger will bounce back and if so, he's good for OF.

 

Would you do Witt Jr. For Torkelson deal straight up? This is a points league so I'm thinking Tork could provide more value to this team?

[Jimcanuck]

You guys think the DH for the NL is going to unleash the Lewin Diaz monster this year?

Yes, Tork may be a generational fantasy bat, I'd do it seeing as you have the Boogeyman.

 

P.S. Upgrade Yelich, I think he's toast.

The guy who barely hit at AAA at 24 last year?

Need to look deeper. wRC+ at AAA was 121. With a .246 BABIP and 19.5% K rate.

 

Projections give him a MLB wRC+ between 92 and 100, with ~15 HR in ~300 PA. Not too shabby for a guy with a lot of power and just getting his feet wet.

That's all pretty boring for a 25-year old DH.

The power makes him fantasy relevant though.

He actually turned down the offer. I really wanted Torkelson for 1st. Would you offer Bogaerts for Torkelson based on the team I have, considering that have Witt for SS? Also, is Witt expected to stay at SS? I read somewhere that he may move to 3rd?

[FantasyNewb]

Are there any pitchers out there this year that you can see having the same kind of breakout as Webb, Ranger Suarez, Baz, and Monaoh had last year?

My advice is stop taking on new teams. New drafts and taking on new teams is the fun part. Daily maintenance through the season of 5+ leagues can become a grind. Pace yourself.

I have the second pick of the new player draft (18 team dynasty) and both Mayer and Leiter are still available (the guy with the first pick went non-prospect). My SS depth chart is Tatis, Luciano, and Austin Martin while my SP isn't where I'd like it to be, but I'm leaning Mayer strictly as a trade asset. Thoughts?
