I just got a trade offer of Nick Castellanos for Seiya Suzuki. I don’t know a lot about baseball, but looking at the stats, this should be a good trade for me?

Is there something I don’t know about other than the other team might be a Chicago homer as he’s got a bunch of Cubs already.

I could see it working out for you, but Castellanos made a change to his approach in the box this year that may hurt his power output, if that's what you're chasing.

He has come home, where he belongs. The Ancient Mariner returns to lead his first team to glory, forever and ever. Amen!


I begrudgingly dropped Suzuki as a keeper when he went out of the WBC, and I wish I had not done so.

Also won my H2H league by 13 points this week - 299 to 286. Yikes.

Spencer Steer is still less than 5% rostered on ESPN which seems insane to me.

Also Josh Rojas exists, I guess?

Every other name I'm seeing <30% rostered on ESPN is in the midst of a horrible cold streak, of course.

Yeah no kidding. I snagged Arenado in my 15-teamer and Austin Riley in my 12-teamer thankfully.

You picked the one season without Cardinals Devil Magic for their pitchers!

I'd rather have India ROS in that format. McNeil doesn't give enough HR/SB juice and in H2H the effects of his good BA typically don't matter as much.

India is one of those guys I'm kicking myself for not drafting as late as he was going. I was big on him last season, he was injured. Now he's what I thought I was getting last season. Plus he plays at Cincy for 81 games.

That's a really tough call but I like Hayes there. He's cut his K% in half, his statcast data is pretty good including a better launch angle, and he's playing every day. (Small sample size caveats still apply.) I'd keep all three guys over Rooker, but if you have to drop one I'd say McMahon. It's just so hard to drop a decent Rockies hitter though :ohdear: Maybe try to flip McMahon for help elsewhere?

Mets only have one lefty SP for the rest of this week (Fried) so Baty should get most of the starts. I'd roll with Baty and hold Walker if I could.

:smith: Sorry bud. I've got him in a league with an NA spot but I also have Taj Bradley so the struggle is real. Ended up dropping Brendan Donovan since he's at the bottom of the lineup now, but Walker might have to be my next cut.

Appreciate y’all giving me advice. I swapped McNeil for Montgomery. I believe in my poo poo team’s pitching!

Tempted to drop Hays or McCutchen for either Suwinski or Rooker. Any feelings on that? Cutch is looking awesome but Suwinksi’s statcast is insane. Rooker is putting up great numbers but the Pirates are killing it right now.

I just dropped Hays for Suwinski myself, and I would drop Cutch for Rooker at this point. Cutch looks good so far, but he's old, I'd rather take a chance on a young guy breaking out.

Also speaking of Pirates, grab Mitch Keller if you still can, 10 Ks tonight against the Dodgers, he's looked solid all season.

Suwinski is basically a young Joc Pederson. Platoon guy (although he started against a lefty today) who crushes righties, will need to be managed/benched when facing a lefty-heavy week, and submarines your BA. That has value but don’t buy him thinking it’s going to be 30+HR and 600 PAs.

Rooker seems like a AAAA guy on a heater. But sometimes they last a few months? Team context is abysmal though, how many R and RBI is he really going to get?

I’d be fine dropping either Cutch or Hays, you should be churning the bottom of your lineup and hoping to spike something better anyway. If Alek Thomas is available I’d throw a dart at him ahead of Rooker or Suwinski, D-Backs optioned Jake McCarthy so he’s playing every day and his statcast is encouraging.

I went for those two but thanks for your input, it’s appreciated. Thanks! Good tip on churning the bottom guys until someone real good lands. I hadn’t really considered that I was slowly moving towards that strategy.

Alek Thomas is an interesting one, I stuck him in my watchlist. The D-Backs are solid this year for sure.

I did exactly that with both sets of dudes. I love Cutch and I think he’s going to have a good year but yeah, betting on high ceiling breakouts is a good move. My infield is solid, locked in and my OF/Util is mostly full of younger high ceiling guys now and I like that.

Thanks for the tip on Keller. Unfortunately someone scooped him up. The Pirates are insane this year and it doesn’t feel like just a hot streak.
