Not crazy about my pitchers. I currently have a waiver claim in for Narvaez because I don’t know how much Mejia will be playing, plus there’s a couple teams without a catcher (or a half decent one) that I’m going to try and cash in on. I also have one in on Alonso if that doesn’t pan out considering I have a spot to fill.

I’m banking on Kershaw coming back and being good which is a risky move. When can I expect Sheffield to be called up?

 

[Winger for Hire]

I'm scared out of my mind rostering Kershaw this season. The ceiling is there, but those DL stints are piling up quickly and more frequently.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I would avoid Kershaw in all one year leagues if possible. His FB velocity was down almost 2 MPH from the year before, and his K/9 was the lowest of his career in a season where he threw more than 125 innings.

12 team straight points league, one year

Hit, Run, RBI, Homer and Steal are all one point (so a solo home run technically is four points)
Win is 15 (except a reliever win is only 5), Save is 10, Loss is -5, Complete game is 5, Shutout is 5, No-hitter is 5 and a perfect game is 5 (so a perfect game is technically 35)

(I didn't make these rules... this league has been going on for over a decade.)

This is my first year in the league. I drew the 6th pick. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. You need 20 games to qualify at a position.

Bump. The draft is Wednesday night.

My top five in some order is Trout, Betts, Arenado, Jose Ramirez and Altuve. If one of them is there at 6, lovely. If not, I will cry.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I've got 10 teams locked into my league for a 9:45 draft tomorrow night. I'm stoked.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I’m in a 16 team dynasty league. Built my team through trades and high profile prospects the last 3 years. Regular scoring ex 1 pt per run, rbi, bb, single. 1.5 for stolen base and double. 2 for triple and 3 pats for a home run

Pitchers get 4 pats for win, -4 for loss. RP get 3 for a save & -3 for a blown save. 0.5 for a strikeout.
I finished 2nd overall but ost in semi due to my pitchers.

Pitchers

G. Cole
J. Paxton
Z. Grienke
J. Chacin
T. Skaggs
Z. Wheeler
M. Fiers
T. Toussaint
K. Jansen

Was offered Donaldson for Moustakas
I was offered Kershaw for Grienke
I was offered M. Foltyniewiz? & Y. Grandal for T. Toussaint & M. Chapman. Should I accept any of these? Kind of weary of Kershaw arm this spring.

I regret my advice big time.

 

[Say Hey Kid]

I regret my advice big time.

My other league got cancelled so this is my only league. It's a 10 team league and the lag was so bad I had to draft hitters first, because those were the only positions I could see in my window. I'll list the scoring first and then the players and let me know what you think. The last 2 rounds are my bench.

I picked up Jon Gray off waivers. He has potential.

 

[Prominence Problem]

Does anyone know of any relieving pitchers set up guys, that have SP eligibility in Yahoo leagues? I'm looking for a pitcher who gets holds.

Seth Lugo and Michael Lorenzen are probably the only two that are worth owning.

Scherzer and Acuna were my keepers. Hate pretty much every pick I made after Nimmo. Guys like Allen, Cabrera and Buxton were panic picks cause I was getting ready to pick Alvarado, Meadows and Senzel respectively and they went the pick right before me. In the last round I took Martinez, because why not? He'll be back at some point either as a starter or a closer and I'm either getting a steal or it's just a pick I was probably gonna wind up dropping anyway.

Gonna make a few pick ups when Hicks, Kershaw and Martinez officially are DL eligible. Was thinking of taking a shot with someone like Peter Alonso or Willians Astudillio. Not much out there in the way of pitching. Teheran, Bundy, Sonny Gray, Stroman, Glasnow. I feel like Teheran is on my team every year. Maybe I'll pick up Stroman in the hopes he'll rebound. He's had a good spring.

Miggy is having an amazing spring. If he stays healthy, I think he's in for a huge year. I hate Kershaw this year.

Alright friends, I did my first ever fantasy baseball draft this year. My buddy's league needed someone and I'm having fantasy withdrawal with fantasy football and hockey now over. I know next to nothing about baseball players, so any help is appreciated. League is 12 teams head to head, 5 categories for hitters (R, HR, RBI, SB, AVG) and 5 for pitchers (W, SV, K, ERA, WHIP). I'll list my team and if anyone has suggestions feel free to let me know, I have no idea who most of my guys are after about 5 of them lol.

He was another guy where I was like it's Miguel freaking Cabrera. Why not in the 19th round? I went back and looked. Musgrove was actually the guy I picked when I was lining up for Senzel and he went the pick before me, not Cabrera. Then Buxton for Meadows.

It looks like you went with starting pitching really early. Your bats don't look that good. Segura is really being undervalued in my opinion.

Who are the top free agents?

Didn’t really intend on taking so many pitchers fairly early but there just weren’t any bats I liked once I got to my pick so seemed to load up on arms. Scoring structure favours pitchers but would like to beef up my bats for sure.

Going to pick up Chris Paddack as there is massive hype around him and if he pans out that would help me be able to move a pitcher for a bat probably.
