Whats Francisco Lindor type of play? Speed, Power, or Glove?

His O needs to catch up to his D. But CLE's production from SS has been abysmal this season, so he's an improvement. Just don't expect a Correa-like impact. I'd put him below Russell in SS prospects too.

[drock2190]

Crap, I stuck Noah on the bench versus the Blue Jays and hes dominating.

What to do with Harvey tomorrow? UGH

[blvd5]

LOL I rolled the dice. I thought it was over after that Bautista blast
Now I'm scared Harvey's gonna take it in the butt. It can either be good or bad, no idea what to expect after that Syndergawd outing

For any of u misc brahs playing in HOLDs leagues,


Carter capps. (Bumped up to 8th inning @ MIA)


He IS a must-add if you count HLD



(K/9 and SwStrk are BEYOND elite-level.... his "K%-BB%" is ABOVE 40!!!!!).

hope no one started Eovaldi tonight
ouch!

[IonZephyr]

finally dropped teheran today... feel really good about it. 11 weeks was too much time to give him




if anyone is searching for an SP option, take a HARD look at trevor may.

was just offered Strasburg for MY Carlos Santana + Andrew Cashner





would you guys take the risk with stras?



(ill have adam lind slide over to be my 1B)

[Humungus]

would you guys take the risk with stras?

Do not want. He's all name recognition at this point. Although if the guy wants Santana and Cashner, you should work something else out.

[blvd5]

Danger is my middle name


Idk I'd have eat first then sht while i think about it (srs)

I'd do it. Santana and Cashner aren't going to be difference makers anyways. If Strasburg regains his form, he could be huge.

I don't like it.

You could probably get better value for those players and at this point isn't trotting out Cash the same as trotting out Stras in terms of not knowing what kind of outcome you'll get? Why would you give up a dual eligibility player who's rated top 10 for both those positions just to get the same kind of shaky outcome pitcher? For upside? Technically Cashner has upside too if he figures it out, not Stras upside, but he's got some...

I guess if you really think this is the point at which Stras figures it out and puts it together, it's worth it, but I just don't really see the signs of that breakout turnaround happening this year. Plus, a few more bad starts and Stras' name value might not even be enough to sell him. Keep what you've got or go for a more attractive return

[blvd5]

I like the joocy upside
Its risky and mostly favors the other team

Do you want to gamble?

[drock2190]

Most people need to remember that trading in fantasy is about finding common ground. So maybe you don't want to trade Cashner, offer someone else and see what he says.

Obviously hes looking to unload and selling fairly low, thats why you do the trade.

Buy low, sell high. Unless you got Harper, then keep him.

[blvd5]

Bustney Castillo
LOL

[blvd5]

Andrew McCutchen or Joc Pederson?

[cubsfan2154]

Arietta, Polanco and Vogt for Arenado and Bogaerts

Who wins?

[Benihanas]

Andrew McCutchen or Joc Pederson?

Cutch.

Arietta, Polanco and Vogt for Arenado and Bogaerts

Who wins?

Don't think that's much of a win/loss scenario, Arenado is a stud but Arrieta isn't a slouch and Vogt has been insane especially since he's C eligible, bogaerts and polanco somewhat similar, I think it's a fair shake it just depends on how much it addresses needs. Personally, I traded away Arenado and I've regretted it ever since I clicked accept. Kid's nuts. Pitching is pretty deep this year, and unless you really think plugging Vogt in as a C is gonna significantly help your team I'd say the Arenado side is the one I want





Just pulled the trigger yesterday on a deal: I get Brantley and Hutchison I give Pineda and Syndergaard...and then Pineda throws a gem

[Dan O Mac]

Cutch.

Hutchison's FIP suggests he'll produce much better results soon. He actually still has the highest WAR out of Jays' pitchers despite a 5.33 ERA lol. Brantley is great, so you could still do fine on that deal.

Awesome, I figure the Blue Jays can provide him with great run support and I know at the beginning of the season he was pegged as a breakout player, he's not someone I have to put in my lineup so I don't mind waiting for a turnaround...it's a points league too so the run support and the 7 point W can mean a bit more than the ERA if he can control it

My rotation is pretty solid I think and I just added a bat to shore up my hitting

SP- Scherzer, Bum, Tanaka, Salazar, Jose Fernandez, Hutch, Taijuan Walker, and Matz

Hitters- Russell Martin, Jose Abreu, Kipnis, HanRam, Franco, Stanton, Brantley, Reddick, Cespedes (Beltre on bench)

Pineda is good, but he was my 20th round pick, and I like Brantley and am hoping he's completely done with his back issue, I think this could be the move that helps me make it brahs, keepin my fingers crossed

Nice rotation brah! I've got Kipnis as well (and Harper, Goldschidt, and Fielder) and snagged Martin off waivers from an impatient owner when he had a slow start.

Jaysus...that Goldy/Harper combo...

[Dan O Mac]

Jaysus...that Goldy/Harper combo...

I've been banking on that Harper breakout for two years now lol. Last year I looked like a goon for taking him early, but this year it paid off.

[drock2190]

I got to admit, I was skeptical of Todd Frazier, but this year he has made me a believer.

Good for 40+ homeruns I think with 20 stolen bases.

Does that make him a 1st rounder next year? Ahead of Donaldson?

Let's wait for the end of the season. No doubt he'll hit a career high this year, but I don't think he'll jump into the MVP contender tier at 30 years old. His fly ball to HR ratio is sky high and will regress. But that said, his ISO is great, so he probably has found a new level - just not quite as good as that I don't think.

[blvd5]

McCutchen 1st round pick
LOL
Down year? more like bust year
Fuk this trade is going to ruin me

[blvd5]
