springer?
arenado?

Idk if I'm ready to have springer in the first yet - def second round though

I think if Correa shows any signs of running the rest of this season, hes in the 1st rd conversation as well. As it stands now, id be pretty happy to get him anywhere in the 2nd.

No humidor in Arizona anymore apparently . Not till next year . I'll take it as a goldy owner

Trea Turner's wrist is broken

mother****er

Yeah the waiver wire is barren as **** . Brandon Phillips? Tim beckham? Zobrist? Leaning one of the latter two

This sucks my only recourse is the stolen bases aren't a massive deal to me as I have speed

Safe to drop Turner?

Thanks SRM for convincing me to stick with Lamet when people in my league made fun of me for having him on my roster.

While we're on the topic

2.4 gb/fb ratio yesterday. Lowest hard hit % of the season. All this against an offense that doesn't suck

Worth keeping an eye on that to see if it's an abbaration cuz if not yowzers

But ya, 8 ks, 1 walk in 7 with heaps of whiffs blah blah blah

The guy is pineda

Of Zobrist, Villar, Kipnis, who do you guys think, if any, can right the ship this year?

Have an NA spot in one of my leagues with Hoskins in there right now. Fisher just got dropped, which one do you guys think is a better bet for this season?

I think Kipnis has the best chance to give you anything.
Zobrist is just in pretty serious decline and I wouldn't expect him to get much better ever again.
I was never a believer in Villar, and kept expecting him to do what hes doing now last season. Last year was basically the lone productive season of his entire pro career.
Kipnis actually has a decently long track record of fantasy relevance and is still in the prime of his career. I feel like he can turn things around if hes healthy.

Definitely not Zobrist. Reasonable upside scenario for Kipnis is maybe 10hr/10sb in the second half? I'd take my chances on Villar who despite being pretty much crap is better than Kipnis in every category this year except batting average (where they both suck)

Agree that Villars upside is higher, but the risk with him (aside from continuing to suck) is that he never regains a full starting gig. Kipnis is virtually a lock to remain the starting 2B in Cleveland.

i hate you trevor rosenthal, i really do

Thinking of dropping Mallex Smith or Bregman for Manuel Margot. Biggest need is RBI's (and some SB's after losing Turner), OBP league. Thoughts?
Current 3B is Donaldson, also have Sano in OF slot, but can move to 3B if needed.

Anyone selling high on bum or marte before they come back after the all star break, or more value to actually play them week to week?

I've got both and I wasn't planning on it unless someone really wants one of them.

Freeman back (already!!)

edit: And seems to be starting at 3B!

Britton being activated tomorrow

Need some input here.

6x6 OBP and holds, 12 team keeper.

Current lineup is as follows

C - Avila
1B - Freeman
2B - altuve
3B - Donaldson
SS - Corey Seager
2B/SS - Machado
1B/3B - Lomo
OF - betts
OF - springer
OF - JDM
OF - pollock
Util - ozuna
Util - dyson
Bench - Suarez
Bench - Adam Jones
Bench - Simmons

Starters are Carrasco, Cmart, strass, sevirino, and walker.

I'm currently in second (lol), and my pitching specifically era needs the most help (4 points out of 12)

I can trade either springer or freeman and one of strass/Carrasco/Cmart for Kershaw. Pitching is super tight right now and the guy beating me has both scherzer and bum and won't trade either. Good idea or giving up way too much value? Obviously in a vacuum no but going from spinger to Simmons (who's crushing) isn't a huge downgrade imo. And I would love to have Kershaw for the QS era and whip.

Which combo of those if any are you shipping away?

How many keepers/specifics on them? Will anyone you get/receive be keeper eligible?

Springer and Carrasco both have 1 year left at $16 and $8 out of $260 auction dollars respectively. Everyone else wouldn't be keepable

8 keepers total and I have the following as locks. Last 3 spots are open.

Betts
Altuve
Machado
Seager
JDM

It's tough, if you really want to do it I guess. It's tough who to trade, since you're losing such a good bat. I'd lean Freeman since wrist injuries can lead to depleted power when coming back, but Freeman is also a beast and in a really good park, so hard to say (and I would expect to be in minority on that)

edit: Having Lomo as your only 1B is bad though, so I understand if you have to trade Springer

Those were my reservations with trading freeman since all I've got is lomo.

Will probably end up shipping springer and strass
