Keep up to 10

I imagine all the guys I got would go for $8-15 if they were drafted next year, and they're kept at that price in year 1, which will go up in subsequent years.

with Pham to Rays, O'Neill is being promoted, and should get a lot of playing time in OF. In AAA this year (61 games), hit .311 with 26 HR, keep a close eye on him

Fun trade deadline:

Archer, dozier, gausman, kinsler seem like great upgrades

These are the hot tips I keep coming back to this thread for, ty

Now if only my hot pickups could get through a game without an anvil falling on them, my fantasy teams would be SWEET

Ok, so this is a snap LM-veto right?

Some background:

Guy B who is sending the team of allstars has been sending out really bad trades (very positive in his favor), all season long. Basically trying to trade-rape people.

Now he's almost drawing completely dead, he makes this suspicious trade with team in 4th place (12 tm league, 4 tms make playoffs)

Smells reallllly bad to me.

Another one.

@TJ Eckleburg12 hopefully you vote to veto this, would prefer not to veto manually using LM powers but it seems pretty clear to me this guy is trying to collude

O'Neill will be splitting time with Harrison Bader, creating an annoying situation for fantasy

Think Fowler loses time too, he's been so bad that they can't just keep putting him out there every day. Yesterday was supposedly a "rest day", but don't see how you can keep putting him out there every day and have O'Neill (or Bader) on the bench

Sorry just now saw this.

Yeah there's no way that first trade should ever go through. The 2nd trade isn't as bad but still pretty 1-sided.

I don't get what that guy's deal has been all year, with the trades he's offered. I guess he's just trying to go down in flames and watch the world burn now.

I wouldn't want him back in the league next year, that's for sure.

One year in fantasy football, the commissioner and a new player had a falling out and his way of saying **** it I'm out to the league was to spam trade offers of like his Tom Brady for my kicker, just absurd deals that gutted his team and wrecked the competitive balance of the league depending on who saw those trade offers first.

in a H2H with 2 DL spots, in 2nd and want to keep top 2 for a bye for playoffs. Have Bryant, Ramos, Pham, Devers, and Morrow on DL, clogging my bench (have no bench bats). Can I drop any of these for a bench bat?
Current C is Barnhart, 3B is Bregman, OF is Cruz/Haniger/Marte, and only RP i have are Diaz/Yates.
Bench bats available are Beltre, Anderson, Braun.
Also, to be clear, i'm 8 games up on 3rd place, but facing him this week, currently 3-4-3

Wow, that's tough

I know it's tough to hear, but sometimes the best move is to resist the urge to micromanage and stand pat and wait to get healthy. Bryant and Ramos at least should be back soon, and the talent on the waiver wire is nothing special. There's no stop what you're doing and add somebody, they're all just a guy, if they're not too cold or slumping now.

If you have to make a cut, I think your first cut is Morrow if you feel like you have to make a move

How long do you guys think it will take Osuna to take the closing job from Rondon?

26 bombs in just 260 AAA PA's can't be a fluke.

IMO if Rondon remains lights-out, he keeps the job.

He'll be back in 10 days....but this is weird

"The Cardinals are making clear that Tyler O’Neill’s groin injury is not a baseball injury, not a muscular injury. Instead, it’s a condition they’re being vague about because of its sensitive nature. They expect O’Neill, who underwent treatment today, back in 10 days."
