Trying to be unbiased, but I've said Boyd since ST. His CWS start could maybe be explained by a longer break from ST to start of season, but past 2 starts have been really strong.

I think Peralta is intriguing, has had past success, seems to be using a CB more, and looked good in his last 10 starts in Aug-Oct last year (sub 3 ERA, ~1.15 WHIP). Sadly his stadium is so bad that he pitches in, I'm hesitant to pickup outside streaming right now.

Triggs I'm less interested, he's faced 2 bad offenses, shows no big difference from last year, and his FB was down 3(!!) MPH last start, seems fine as a streamer as well sometimes.

Andriese is in bad division, seems bleh. Same for Anderson, especially with his stadium, and prone to injuries.

If I had to stream a couple of them I would lean Andriese because of the strikeout rate (about 8k/9) and probably Triggs at home.

I have both, but I am in a deep league. I like to be deep at 3B as well for trade bait.

Now SEEMS like a good time to unload nova/taillon if you can. Their edge is in few walks and a lot of balls in play and going from marte to cutch at CF is a sizable defensive downgrade

Think Meadows should be up in a month or so and move to CF, so think it's just a temporary downgrade

You might actually be losing on this, but it's a pretty fair trade imo

Looks like I was completely wrong on Keon Broxton, dude just looks completely lost right now, I'm still hoping he can find it .

Head to head standard 5x5 plus OBP and QS

Was offered Strasburg Cueto and Bautista for Rizzo and Bundy.

My hitting is pretty good overall maybe lacking in home runs if anything. My pitching isn't great but not bad. This is on yahoo btw if that matters with Rizzo's position eligibility.
Thoughts on this trade?

Seems like a decent deal for you if you can afford to lose Rizzo. Personally I'd rather trade him for bum or scherzer as strass is a pretty big wild card

I'm in the same boat on Broxton. I've been contemplating dropping him in some formats.

Roto, shallow 12 teamer. 6x6 with OBP + SLG, IP and K/9 and QS.

Just made this trade:

My Strasburg + Benoit for his Sano + Nola

How bad did I lose?

I'm in panic mode over here sitting with solid "1-3" in RBI, HR, and SLG. I believe in my ability to find elite streaming level pitchers off the WW due to the shallowness of the league, but not in my ability to find a guy who is gonna pull me out of a hole in power. I also currently am "positionally weak" at 3B (Have Carpenter there) and my OF sucks (KDavis, AndrewBen, Inciarte), so Sano seemed to tick all the right boxes.

Also I know some people are really high in Nola. I'm not a huge believer, but it's a QS league so he gets some boost there and his upside is probably a top 20 pitcher, in which case I won the trade.

Depends what you need but I really like the Thames side of this, if you can spare the pitching.

Perhaps a little tilted against you but you need the depth. I'd have countered to remove Benoit from the deal maybe. But he's not that valuable anyways.
