Keep forgetting Wet Dream.

What kind of starting pitchers do you think Pete Alonso could bring back in a standard 5 x 5 Roto league?

What does your 1B/CI situation look like? Also, is your league a keeper or annual redraft?

It’s a redraft weekly lineup league. Was an auction draft. It’s standard scoring except instead of Saves, it’s Saves + Holds. I’m already leading or second in the offensive categories, but I’ve been burned by bad pitching and am afraid to even put any of my starters in. There is a lot of ammo to work with on offense as trade bait. Any suggestions you have would be much appreciated, thanks.

Picture got cut off but I have Vlad JR in the NA slot too.

I don't know. You'd probably be best served to go after a young pitcher without much of a track record like Glasnow. In fantasy baseball, track record means a ton for value. Neither player has a track record, so go get Glasnow and roll with him.

Wet Dream has a 0.28 ERA with 32.1 IP.... that’s got to be some kind of record.

That's insane. I thought my 1.23 with 44IP last week was outstanding... apparently not.

 

[RayP]

That's insane. I thought my 1.23 with 44IP last week was outstanding... apparently not.

Meanwhile my pitchers are averaging almost a walk per inning over 30 innings.

Bunch of f***ing losers.... just like their manager. Pathetic.

Tack on another 7 scoreless innings to lower it to 0.23 and almost 40 IP.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I’m almost always kicking myself because I draft Billy Hamilton every damn year and he murders you everywhere but steals. Last week was one of those weeks where you feel vindicated taking him and his six steals.

 

[TLEH]

Need a good closer. Have plenty of solid hitters.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

And just like that, my 2019 gem is sidelined, and probably finished. He was the only guy holding my pitching staff together in one of my roto leagues.

Gotta piece together a staff with unknowns. I drafted pitching late and ended up with Paxton, Clevenger and Archer to be my horses. All hurt. Currently rolling with Mikolas, Peacock and Desclafani and I’m doing well but it’s categories not roto.

There's nobody there. I just picked up Tanner Roark in one of my leagues, and he was the best option.

Start following the pitching prospects. Some guys will come up and be good. Derek Rodriguez was great last year and might be a free agent. The San Francisco guys are good placeholders with that ballpark.

Maybe trades, but people seem dumb in my leagues. I don’t even makes offers, just delete theirs every other day. Hopefully yours are more reasonable. Caleb Smith is another Glasnow. Maybe he’d be attainable since he plays for the Marlins.

I feel the same way in the only league I'm in.

 

[ColdSteel2]

One roto league I’m in first, people send spam offers like Conforto for Yelich. Makes no sense.

@Kaners Bald Spot

Got Meadows back though

 

[TLEH]

Hey I was trying to drop Dan Winkler and his face was showing up and everything and then I accidentally dropped Trevor Bauer. It even said “confirm drop Dan Winkler” I hit yes and then it drops Bauer. Can you revert that?

ruh roh...you dropped both guys

I think that would have to go to a vote, no? I can't just be giving guys back that were dropped, as much as I might trust you're being honest. It sets a bad precedent. That said, I do believe you.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

I’m fine with him getting Bauer back. He posted on here three minutes after dropping him. If we’re voting.

 

[ChiHawks10]

I went to test how to do it, and added him back, then removed him again, just so you know @TLEHMANN I didn't mean to actually add him, but there wasn't like a confirmation screen, it just added him.

Just pending the vote. Although I think no one will have issues with that.

@RayP @AmericanDream @ColdSteel2 any issues with it?

It's currently 3-0 yes give him back with me, DHF, and my buddy #1Fan of D Backes having voted.

@DisgruntledHawkFan check with HomeRunInn and see his vote? He'll be the deciding 7th vote, I believe.

f*** him, I am 3rd on the waiver wire, let me feast on his stupidity...lol

 

[ChiHawks10]

**** him, I am 3rd on the waiver wire, let me feast on his stupidity...lol

Not if I do first.

Bahahaha.

Can't tell if you're serious, though.

Yes or No vote, dick.

Yes or No vote.

definitely not serious, never would want to snag a player that way...
