What's this about, that Buxton is injury prone and can't run anymore? Duh!

18 team dynasty, offered Wander for Torkelson and Makenzie Gore. Yay or nay?

[Laika]

You got offered Wander?

 

Take

I'd take Wander... all day.

Well unless your SS depth isn't solid.

[Laika]

Gore doesn't seem much better than replacement level in an 18 team league

Why?

[Spanky99]

Welp...

Who would you rather in a points league...Gunnar Henderson or Torkelson?

Gunnar plays SS, steals some bases, and outhit Torkelson at AA and AAA. So him.

Think Madison Bumgarner is droppable now in 20-team leagues?

[Abomination]

Think Madison Bumgarner is droppable now in 20-team leagues?

 

No.

Yeah. He hasn't been a contributor in 20-teamers since 2019.

Turns out Arizona is skipping his next start for performance reasons. Kind of sad how much he sucks now.

why is it sad? He's like the biggest a-hole in baseball, f*** that guy lol

Yeah for the first half of the last decade, he was a dominant workhorse. One of the best Postseason performers in recent memory. Sad how he has fallen off so much especially at a young age. It's not like he's 38 or 39.

 

Most Giants pitchers like Lincecum, Cain and now Bumgarner all had short careers in terms of dominance.

How about Jose Bautista?

This is a big week for my one fantasy team. It's a points league and every point counts right now. I'm playing Matt Manning since he's making 2 starts (Mariners and Royals), but I'm sitting Dustin May and Freddy Peralta. Is that a mistake? He's been playing really well lately but not sure if he can keep it up.

[Laika]

Why sit the other two?

[FantasyNewb]

I have Mikolas (2 starts), Ranger Suarez (2 starts), Manning (2), Burnes, Bieber, Woodruff, and Nola starting.

 

I sat May because he's playing the Mets. But not sure if I should keep Manning in there over May or Peralta.

[jaysblue]

May is still very good even against a Mets team, would definitely start him. Guy had 11K's his last outing.

[FantasyNewb]

Yeah, I think he's the smart move. I get too focused on 2 start starters sometimes.

Think Madison Bumgarner is droppable now in 20-team leagues?

 

Very wise move dropping him in BORED last week, though also very bad for me.

[Laika]

Bumgarner is almost 30 team droppable haha. Not quite (nobody is) but it's been rough lately.

[jaysblue]

Very wise move dropping him in BORED last week, though also very bad for me.

 

Whatever tweaks he worked on with the pitching coach didn't work.

[FantasyNewb]

I have an offer for Matt Manning of Detmers or Alek Thomas or Tyler O'Neil in a points league. Who would you chose from the 4?

Pretty easily Thomas for me.
