I'm really thinking about offering someone in my league Ortiz for Rizzo. Rizzo is running less but he's walking more, stroking out less, and has a terrible BABIP (and an 868 OPS despite that). I think Ortiz is gonna be awesome all year but I expect him to finish below a 1 OPS, and I expect Rizzo to be better than him from now until the end of the year.

Am I dumb?

I think the person who takes Ortiz and gives Rizzo is dumb. Offer away.

The Dodgers are being pretty adamant that Urias is staying with the ML team for the rest of the year, although not necessarily in the rotation. Maybe he'll at least be a decent K generator?

The only time I bench pitchers is when I'm up on ERA/WHIP against a punk rear end buster who drafted only closers in a feeble attempt to try to corner ERA/WHIP.

Roto with start limit and IP as a points category. Can afford to pick and choose

My pitching has been pretty drat good lately ... way better than I expected.

Roark has been a good pickup (almost dropped him)
Happ - picked him up right before his colossal loss a few starts back. Stuck with him though.

Ventura still on the bench (it's been about 1 month). Hoping he turns it around.

Also, I think I have a man crush on Joe Kelly. Tempted to pick him up.

Edit: Also, is yahoo going to add the catcher option to Gattis anytime soon?

I really want Gattis so I can try to get something in return for dealing Posey. Just how worthwhile is my newly acquired Julio Arias? Way too much to offer straight up for Gattis?

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
On Effectively Wild today Andy McCullough said Urias is going to be in the rotation until Ryu gets back and that's not that far away.

They also noted he has never thrown more than 6 innings or 80 pitches and it's doubtful they do that to him now. Get whatever you can.

Start with Gattis + a SP though

Redraft, roto. I'm far behind in steals, so I offered Posey, J. Garcia, and Urias for JD Martinez, Burns, and Gattis. Plenty of streaming options out there for me.

Since Story is still killing it I would say no. No other team will touch him because the Marlins gave him a heavily backended contract and he is now getting $22 million/year.

If Buxton is available you might want to add him since he's been raking in AAA and the Twins only have 4 outfielders. He's still striking out a lot though.

Would you guys trade Chris Davis and Marcus Semien for Xander Bogaerts if you were in desperate need of AVG? I can replace Davis with David Peralta when he comes off the DL.

Maybe I have rose colored glasses on but I thought there were some positives in Urias' start tonight. Breaking pitches looked good, he just looked nervous and I can't imagine he'll keep having trouble locating his FB going forward. This obviously doesn't mean anything when it comes down to how they'll manage his pitch counts, but I saw a nervous kid tonight that is probably gonna come out like a grown rear end angry man if they give him another start in a week.

I could see him being a useful RP for anyone punting saves and looking for ratios. I'm interested to see how they're going to handle him now. I think if you're in a keeper and you've grabbed him and are in that type of situation, he's a hold for sure (pun intended) unless you're absolutely loaded in keepers at SP.

Obviously if you're in a re-draft trade him for whatever you can get because lol
