OFFICIAL 2018 FANTASY BASEBALL THREAD

[johnnyredstorm]

It's what I do papi

 

[macbk]

I talk smack about Realmuto and he goes 4/4 today with a HR. Making a case to keep him and not go for Grandal .

My entire lineup had it's best day today easily. Currently 20/33 barring any craziness I should win this matchup by a solid margin.

 

[run.lmc]

Carlos Gomez has been absolutely brutal I'm not cutting him quite yet though

 

[CrownRoyalDaddy]

My team in this NT league still undefeated. I believe the only team to put up 400+ in every week so far. Will lose 1st round if i make the playoffs

 

[nomnom]

Also 3-0 in the NT league

 

[ii flash ii]

CrownRoyalDaddy ... Thought I had the comeback win against you, then my team **** the bed

 

[nomnom]

Whatsup with Yahoo making it so picking up someone doesnt reflect until the next day?

Should be that your roster reflects the player as long as you picked up before the 1st game of that day just like ESPN. 3rd time this has happened to me lol.

 

[ii flash ii]

Yea I noticed that as well... Must be something in the settings

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Make your pickups a day earlier if you wanna stream pitchers

Picked up Snell for the spot start Saturday and just dropped him for Porcello. My offense has been pretty dismal thus far so I need my pitching to keep me in my matchups .

Also, one of my league mates is really hurting at pitcher and offered his Edwin Encarnacion for my Drew Pomeranz and Hunter Pence. I got Pence in like the 10th round and just picked up Pomeranz off waivers last week. Encarnacion was a 3rd rounder. I gotta bite on that, right?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Pence will be hurt sooner than later so yes. Do it. Pomeranz is still a question mark even though his peripherals suggest a legitimate season so far. That K% will come in though.

 

[stick]

^ Yep I figured that. I just sent the offer through, hopefully he was serious about it.

Just picked up Wellington Castillo too. He's been on fire.

Absolutely. Encarnacion is a top-15 fantasy commodity this year. Gonna crank 35+ HR in Toronto's stacked lineup.

OF is a deep position and Pence is arguably outside the top-100 overall fantasy producers. Hot start for Pomeranz but can he sustain it? Never wanted my Tribe to deal Pomeranz to Colorado. He's now benefiting from an extremely pitcher-friendly park at Petco. Could emerge as San Diego's third-best starter behind Shields and Ross.

Take the deal and run. Fleecing him.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Lemme get Smyly Champ.

 

[champcruthik]

Lemme get Smyly Champ.

Not gonna come cheap. Surprised y'all let me snag him in both leagues. 12th & 13th rounds a steal.

Up that offer and you can have him in the NT Keeper.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I'll consider it. Wouldn't have a problem, but I already know I need my picks for bats

 

[JCMojica24]

FINALLY got that first win this week

My Pitchers showed out all week except for Cueto. Pitching staff def my strongest asset.

Jason Hammel yesterday

Still thinking about trading for a bat so if anyone needs some pitching come holler at me

 

[champcruthik]

Just picked up Wellington Castillo too. He's been on fire.

No kidding. 6 homers in his last seven games. 20+ HR campaign a distinct possibility.

Wouldn't have a problem, but I already know I need my picks for bats

Making it clear I'm a seller this season. Seager & Kinsler calling your name.

Still thinking about trading for a bat so if anyone needs some pitching come holler at me

Willing to move Votto, Kinsler, Bruce, Mazara for a SP.

 

[macbk]

Schwarber owner in my league picked up Castillo and I'm tight I didn't just to block him. Realmuto had a nice day yesterday, still have Grandal on my watch list.

 

[macbk]

Could use a yay or nay -

I have both Thor and Iglesias going against each other tonight. Do I sit Iglesias or let him rock too? I also have Stroman and Pomeranz pitching. Rest of the week will be dry .

 

[checks grossman]

Wellington Castillo he's been on a tear since he left the mariners last season.

Mac, keep Iglesias. No cespy tonight.. And with the Mets lineup there's always potential for big K numbers from Iglesias

Sweet, I'm sold.

Hoping for solid starts from all 4 guys so I won't feel a need to rush to grab pitching the rest of the week. I still have Cole at some point too.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Start all four and just hope Iglesias gets enough innings and k's to offset the loss.
