As ludicrous and unsustainable as Hoskins is, Olson is even moreso. Higher K-rate, lower BB-rate, higher HR/FB rate, higher BABIP with a much worse AVG.

I'd grab Olson in a second if I needed HR, and he definitely should be more than 4% owned, but I see his power streak ending soon and his floor being utter uselessness (versus Hoskins' floor, which is still decent power and quality hitting).

Still trying to decide if dropping Margot is worth it for Olson, mainly just to corner the market on power even further before my league's trade deadline happens.

Haven't posted here in years and never about DFS or anything. Question ... is there anyway to check the results of high stakes tourneys with large guarantees on DK or FD? Online poker used to keep these in the results in the lobby area in complete tournament section. Anyone got anything?

Tyler Glasnow, 1.93 era with 140/33 k/bb over 93 innings, has been absolutely dominant since making the change to pitch solely out of the stretch. He's owned in 27% of yahoo leagues and starts tomorrow vs MIL.

A couple pitchers I dont hear mentioned often are AJ Puk (A's) and Walker Buehler (LAD). Both have pretty high ceilings. Buehler is probably more polished and is actually already up in LA, but he's working out of the bullpen for now so nobody is picking him up fantasy-wise. Longterm Dodgers def see him as a starter, and in 2018 he could be the most talented arm in the org this side of Kershaw.
Luiz Gohara is another guy without much buzz that has jist flown through 3 levels of the minors this year, and was filthy at every stop.

Aa far as bats I still like Willy Adames even with a somewhat disappointing year in the power dept at AAA.
But he is pegged for 60 grade raw power and has terrific plate discipline, so he should be a high OBP, solid power MI option.
And Mejia isn't getting regular atbats right now so he might be available in a lot of leagues but hes going to rake, esp for a catcher

Currently sitting at 126 and 110.5 points in both 12 team roto 6x6 leagues I'm in. Hoping for a solid last 2 weeks. Got wrecked in my H2H in playoffs.... Would have been in the finals if jhoulys chacin didn't get a QS, hate h2h so much

How's everyone else doing?

Eh mixed bag, for the most part pretty decent. Fading badly in the 2p2 dynasty (although to be fair I had no business really competing this year anyway) and got bounced in the play-offs on a tiebreaker in the 2p2 keeper, home leagues and some other stuff are looking pretty good.

This is the point where I am definitely ready for the season to be over.

Hanging on by my fingertips! 4 YPL roto teams.

1st - have lead all season but only up by 3 points will finish no lower than 2cnd

2nd - A coin flip. Basically 3 way tie with only one point difference from 1st to 3rd. Will finish no lower than 3rd.

2nd - 5 points back. Need to get hot to catch but shouldn't finish lower than 2nd.

5th - Never really contended and would need a miracle to get into top 3 (9 points behind 3rd).

This season has been challenging. All pitching has basically been a ****show. I made a few managerial mistakes as well. But none of my teams bear much resemblance to the teams I drafted.

7th (6 make the playoffs) after falling apart the last couple weeks leading up to the playoffs in a 2p2 keeper,

currently 2nd in a 2p2 dynasty, h2h and we play no playoffs and just run all 26 weeks. behind 1st by 10 games and up 20 games on 3rd place, so pretty much just locked in to 2nd place.

my brag is that the dynasty team has altuve/arenado/judge/bellinger and just hope that some of my pitching prospects start to pan out next year.

Just made (probably) a questionable trade in my keeper that I'm crushing this season.

6x6 with OBP and holds, 12 teams, 8 total keepers.

I traded

C Seager (2 more years, $2)
Rendon (1 more year, $14)
Carrasco (1 more year, $8)

for

Trea Turner (3 more years, $1)

The reason I made the trade is because I wasn't keeping carrasco or Rendon and wanted to not have to worry about steals in the draft. My keepers are now goat tier and set up to crush again next season.

Atluve (1 year, $14)
Machacho (2 years, $12)
Turner (3 years, $1)
Springer (1 year, $16)
JUST DONG (1 year, $8)
Betts (1 year, $8)
Blackmon (1 year, $8)
Sevirino (4 year, $1)

Additionally, still have guys like lol thames, strass, Pollock, fulmer, mcullers sitting on my bench and might be able to upgrade again as well. Kershaw/scherzer will also be available in the draft this year so gg league.
