“I know you are but what am I”

That the best you got douchebag? …

Trade me Pache in BORED for some kind of scraps. If I move Robert for prospects I don’t want to leave barren lineup

 

Where’s my offer man?

 

What offer, you trolling is getting on my nerves? You want someone, send it.

 

I want Pache. Going to trade Robert and want to roster a lottery pick just so I have a lineup. Most of my dudes are green flags

 

Spanky is holding up a trade over Christian Pache? In fantasy baseball?

 

Nope, lol... you would listen to that toerag...

 

I trust Connor implicitly

 

 

You traped me with Adames and Baty for Rendon. My team was on the cusp and I pressed

 

What does that even mean, BTS? Then he sends me a PM of what I want for him... Me: send an offer, *crickets*

[Spanky__99]

In the end, you're both dumb.

Bro, let it go lol. What’s wrong with you! Whacko

So why bother me, or even post?

You want me send you a card in the mail bro? Maybe some chocolates or something? Send me your address. I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings

That trade talk, or whatever you call it, is done.

Wow. I’m not going to have Pache. Why don’t you just rip my heart out of my chest and spit down my guts? Going to find a box of tissues and a tub of ice cream

[BTS]

Can you two idiots just shut the f*** up?

I haven't an offer, and you're calling me an idiot? Okay...

[L54]

Yeah it's a dynasty league and Semien is my starter and suck serious ass. I also have Chris Taylor on my bench so no prob but I always like stashing a couple of multi-position upside plays on my bench if I can.

 

It's probably an "if you really want to" situation but I think L54 if right, there are better options.

 

Semien does suck ass and glad the Jays aren’t paying him. Woof that contract is going to age poorly.

 

I just don’t see the HR or SB upside to make him relevant in a league that shallow. Like he might be a 10/10 guy who hits .270/.330/.400

[L54]

Even in 12, there’s guys that maybe project better based on past performance…but what qualifies as a legit keeper? .775 OPS for sure I think for an IF w/multiple positions 2b/3b. So it’s definitely possible

 

I don’t see it Connor. Checking the one 12 teamer I’m in I’d rather have Rodgers, Schoop, Urias, Frazier, Flores

A lot of that is subjective. Depends what you think of Espy. If you think he’s a legit .780- .800 OPS bat, than I think he’d be favorable to some of those alternatives

[connorp]

I should say I’m just talking about being justifiably being on a roster of that size. Mainly as a bench piece/spot starter. I think he’s better than the WW fodder, or potentially so. As of right now, I think he’s over the guys mentioned

[Laika]

well his batted ball stats are insanely good so if you want to try to get a breakout player, before the projections catch up, he's worth a shot.

 

he will project worse than most guys but if you believe in the narrative / changes then you can justify it.

 

and he's essentially a locked in starter so not a lot of job risk anymore since Biggio is Biggio.

Yeah this is a problem I run into sometimes in a league with fantasy baseball normies. I tend to not panic and hold onto my guys as they work through early season struggles but sometimes I can miss out on the new hotness. Overall it usually works in this league though.

Last year I missed Mullins by one day in a money league. This year Vaughn same thing. Hopefully isn’t like Mullins last year

[Terminator]

What the hell is going on with Franmil Reyes, dear god.

 

In a redraft I'd drop his ass but I have him in a dynasty.

[connorp]

I dropped Chapman’s sorry ass for Espy in a redraft. Let’s see how long, if ever, it takes for me to second guess it

[TwistedLogic]

Someone's offering me Jose Ramirez straight up for Manny Machado (redraft league). They're essentially tied in both fWAR and points in our league so far. The J-Ram stan in me badly wants to accept but part of me really feels like this is Machado's breakout year. What would y'all do?

[Terminator]

I'd take J-Ram. He's a Top 5 pick and Machado is a second rounder. Machado could outproduce but it's probably something like 65/35 J-Ram or something.

that's dumb

[FantasyNewb]

What's the outlook for Taylor Ward as a fantasy asset? His exit velocities are near the bottom third, although he's doing well with all other metrics. Do you think he'll be valuable in a points league, or is he just off to a hot start?

You back bro? Feeling better?

Hey, the past few weeks have been extremely rough. But I'm trying to take my mind off it all. A friend asked me my thoughts on Ward and not sure what to make of him.

[Terminator]

Is Ross Stripling fantasy relevant again?

Your f*** buddy Spanky picked up your Chapman today

I saw that

[Terminator]

14 Team Dynasty that's heavy on pitchers. Teams carry 9 or 10 SPs.

 

These are my 4 worst SPs:

Mitch Keller

Josh Fleming

Kikuchi

Tyler Anderson

 

Should I drop any of them for Dane Dunning or Ross Stripling?

You should drop Fleming for either of them, and I'm a massive Rays fanboy.

Ok yeah you are the guy to ask about him. His underlying stats are awesome but the results aren't there. What are your thoughts on him?
