Hey guys, I'm thinking of dropping Miguel Vargas for Brian De La Cruz.
What do you think?
Thanks to yall I’m placing a waiver bid on Graham Ashcraft, hopefully no one in my league is paying attention to him yet!
Need to stash one of these free agents in a keeper league: Vargas, Tovar, Torkelson, Colas, Gorman. Who are your top 3? Thanks!
Love the streaming pitchers topic! As someone who plays in a daily lineup league, sometimes one of your pitchers gets blown up for ERA/WHIP and you need to chase Wins and Strikeouts to combat it (weekly h2h matchup)
Need time stamps please
Had to trade for Graham Ashcraft cause someone beat me to him. I gave up Ian Happ to get him. 😬
For the guys and the comments: In a 10 Team H2H Cat (Keep 10) Would you trade Tatis & Buxton for Eloy, Wander, & Duran
So my team is as follows
Drafted vald Jr 7th for the sole purpose of trading for pete Alonzo…
Cathcher: J.T realmuto
1st: polar bear
2nd marcus simian
3rd: jose Miranda
SS: lindor but doubled down and got bo bich for my DH
DH: Bo bich
OF: Acuna, Bryan Reynolds, randy arozorana
Bench: jazz, Katel marte, Andrew Vaughn
Pitching is- luis Urias, Morton, Kodai senga, Kershaw, Chris sale, doval, luzardo and Rasiel Iglesias on IL
It's extremely hilarious how bad Ashcraft and Gray will end up being. Congrats fellas!!
Obliques heal quicker when you're as young as Soto. But unless you got a major discount, I don't like starting my draft in a redraft league with someone with that much health uncertainty.
As a Sox fan, with Kluber pitching on opening day I can honestly say wait till next year. Looking forward to Devers, Yoshida, Casas and Bello. That's about it.
Given the name, should we start calling it the Ashcraft Raft, instead of the train?
Obviously I’m hoping Liam beats this disease and makes it back. Is it insensitive to consider he may not be very good if he does come back? When considering guys that have off the field problems, one would think they wouldn’t be at their best when on the field. Hader last year and Alvin Kamara a couple examples.
Ashcraft is still a FA in all 3 roto 12 teamers I’m in. I’m personally never gonna pick him up again as I’ll never forget him and Roansy giving me 2ip 8ER performances when I streamed them on the same day last yr. 11% of FAAB…
Scott seems like such a great guy!
Would u add Cobb, Wesneski or Ashcroft over Trevor Rodgers or Jack Flaherty?
Asking Scott about a music fest is like asking Steve Carrell about how boobs feel in 40 year old virgin.
You guys don't even look at the chat during the show. It might increase live viewership if you make the people feel more included.
Boys, thanks for getting us to this point. 🎉
32:29 The A's letting Pache go reminds me of the Red Sox recently releasing Jeter Downs, who was supposed to be a big piece of the Mookie Betts deal.
I'm in ESPN points leagues. The new format is a reduced roster, so a couple of players with multiple position eligibility are important. I drafted over a month ago, and a batter I have on all 5 of my teams: Brendan Donovan- I had him last year, also, and he's probably on most waiver wires. Btw- Look at his opening day stats against the Blue Jays.
