I've been poking around the Steamer projections cause I'm getting the fantasy baseball itch again. Couple thoughts: Catcher looks god drat barren after Posey. You'll probably be OK with McCann or Russel Martin but they could both easily hit <.240. Is Schwarber the clear #2? Like Napoli or Gattis a few years ago, this could be the last time he's eligible at C, but Schwarbers better than them. I love "catchers" who aren't actually playing the position, they get more ABs and don't get beat up by foul tips and stuff. I like Mesoraco a lot IF he's healthy. Steamer thinks Correa is the #1 SS but thinks his .233 ISO will come back to earth. It projects him at .275 22HR 21 SB which is still great but maybe not top 10 overall like some ppl are valuing him. Steamer also has Trea Turner in the top 10 shortstops, keep an eye on that guy for sure. Could steal 30 bases. OTOH Steamer doesn't believe in Brandon Crawford's power spike at all. Which makes sense since it was such and outlier. Not what I want to see as a Giants fan though. Bogaerts sure had a weird season. After hitting ~15 dingers at every level, he drops to 7 last year in 650 PA. FB% drops from 41% in 2014 to 25%, but he hits .320 on a ridiculous babip. Wonder if the Sox had him change his approach to make him more of a contact hitter? Is Ottoneu worth the money? Never played a Dynasty league before.

Matz bounced back from that beatdown, Corey Seager finally did something, and it looks like I squeaked out a win in my goon league. OTOH Russell Martin's been literally worse than not rostering a catcher, these first couple weeks.

Speaking of Betances he's as ridiculous as ever and I love having him in my league that counts holds. In fact I'd argue that he's the #1 RP in holds leagues and should've been drafted in like the 5th round. Dude has a real shot at 150 Ks this year. As a relief pitcher.

I still believe in Corbin. He could be a 9 k/9 guy with that delivery and that slider. But he pitches half his games in the thin desert air, and the D-Backs 1st-half schedule is tough. I'm not going to write him off because he got blown up by the Cards and Pirates in AZ, but it doesn't get much easier for him: @ Braves vs.Giants vs. Yankees @ Pirates vs. Astros @ Cubs vs. Marlins vs. Dodgers @ Blue Jays @ Rockies I might stream him on Sunday against the Braves but after that, yikes

Nothing wrong with trading for Dee now but try and lowball the guy. You have all the leverage since Dee will be sitting there taking up a spot on his roster for the next 3 months (maybe your league has huge benches and that doesnt really matter IDK)

Lance McCullers could be back as soon as this weekend. He's not a sure thing - walk rate was bad in the minors and improved when he came up to MLB, which might not be sustainable - and is coming off a sore shoulder. But he has huge upside and is only 49% owned in ESPN. I've had him stashed all year, so hoping for good things.

Doltos posted:God bless the Seager family and their continuous charitable donations to the Dinger Foundation. that's 4 dingers in 5 games for Corey. He was OK in April, but I drafted him in the 5th, with guys like DeGrom, Cole, Strasburg, Xander, etc still on the board, so this is nice to see.

Dingers from Shaw, C. Seager, Bryant, and two from Joc; absolute gems from Kershaw, Thor, and Salazar; and my catcher stole a base. Pretty good day overall.

With stolen bases down around the league, Villar was an awesome waiver wire pickup. 14 bags now, that's 2nd in MLB behind Altuve. Still <50% owned on ESPN btw. The latest Sports Illustrated had an article that touched on the decline of the SB, actually. http://www.si.com/vault/2016/05/03/trend-spotting quote:CRIME IS down in our cities ... and in our ballparks. The rate of stolen bases sits at just over half a steal per team per game through Sunday—the lowest since 1972. After a brief surge in the late 2000s and early '10s, steal rates have plummeted. Seems like a 30+ SB guy who doesn't suck in every other category is insanely valuable nowadays. I know I drafted Hamilton way too high hoping he'd be that guy, but nope.

I went back and forth on it but I kept Harvey with a 3rd round pick, I just can't bench him without proof he's broken. His stuff looked fine in the couple starts I've watched.

Inspector_666 posted:Also why the hell aren't the Rangers playing Gallo this is bullshit. The word is that he could be sent back down tomorrow if (when) Odor's suspension is upheld and the Rangers call up Jurickson Profar to fill in. Seems like they don't want to rush Gallo/don't think he's ready, but injuries forced their hand. A few 500 foot bombs could change their minds I suppose.

Eduardo Rodriguez is replacing Buchholz in the rotation. To me he is a wait-and-see in a 10-teamer but there's serious upside there with his stuff (mid 90s fastball from the left side). Had some fantastic games last year and some horrible beatdowns too.

It was working when I went to bed last night but today it doesn't have any scores for Saturday games for anyone in the league and has X's by all the players showing they didn't play. It's not just you. I'm not in any Yahoo leagues this year but a bunch of ppl are bitching about that on another forum I read.

The Super Two cutoff date is coming. The latest it's been recently is 61 days into the season which would be around June 5th. We could see Taillon, Turner, AJ Reed next week? Anyone else?

Jingleheimer posted:I'm in a H2H points league with weekly lineup changes. Who would be better to start for the week, Jake Peavy with 2 starts against Braves and Cards or Bartolo with one start against the Marlins? I normally go with the two start guy but my gut is telling me to go with Bartolo because he's been more consistent and I don't trust Peavy to not get blown up. Peavy's velocity is down, walk rate is up and his breaking ball isn't breaking. Don't be fooled by his last start, it was the Padres. Avoid.

I'm totally Fangraphs scouting here but Upton's peripherals are not good. Brutal amount of strikeouts, not making contact, not hitting the ball hard, not getting unlucky on balls in play. I think you have to at least consider dropping in a 10-teamer. But again I haven't watched him at all this year. He's also attempted 1 stolen base this year. Why? Is that on the manager?
