THE OFFICIAL 2015 FANTASY BASEBALL THREAD

[dgum]

Decided I was actually going to sit Jay Bruce for once this year after weeks of absolutely nothing.  Would have won RBIs and HRs had I started him...

Dodgers bullpen did me a favor tonight. Got the W 3-6 now and with my staff I'm confident in making a run. Got 3 open roster spots hopefully my guys are there in the morning.

Don Mattingly is a really odd coach...he reallly doesn't have a concrete plan when it comes to bullpen and lineups

 

[rook]

Carlos Correa time

Should I drop Andrelton Simmons for him?

That's what I did.  Definitely think the upside is worth it.

the lineup stuff is fine for the most pat, has a really deep team. but that bullpen is garbage. every other game i watch gets blown

grabbed josh reddick, prado and joe panic off waivers to round out my team. dropped pablo sandoval, couldnt take looking at him anymore.

vincent velasquez got called up. bit risky but I'm gonna take the chance on him once yahoo posts him. gonna drop aaron sanchez for him.

Should I drop Andrelton Simmons for him?

Absolutely! Correa's upside is too good for you to pass up on

 

[dgum]

And the horrible trade offers start rolling in for Correa.  Someone offered me Ubaldo and A. Escobar already.

man I hope he can at least help my team turn it around this season. I'm in 9th place trying to get to at least 6th for the playoffs.

I'm in a very similar situation.  Dropped to 8th this week but I still like my chances.  At this point I'm just looking for anything from the SS position after having Rollins go 0-fer every other day up to this point.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

if you're desperate at short wilmer flores is a great option.

I have Desmond but he's been very underwhelming. So hopefully for our sakes, Correa shows out.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Told y'all earlier in the year I couldn't stand Desmond at his ADP

that you did. I'm going to try to ship him for something soon if I can

 

[johnnyredstorm]

it's amazing how bad he's been in a contract year after turning down $100 mill

 

[run.lmc]

Picked up Cameron Maybin in my other two leagues, dude seems like he's on his way to a very solid season.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Maybin's metrics are pretty good. Wrote an article about nick Markakis today that made me realize the year maybin is having. Long as he k's less than 20 % of the time he should have a strong year. .371 obp .356 BABIP. Has 10 steals. Sort of want to add him but I already have freeman.

 

[stick]

I picked up Maybin yesterday as well. Hoping he can keep playing how he's been.

Also picked up Hechavarria on Sunday and his HR in extras gave me the win in HRs and RBIs. My team went off last week, went 6-3-1 against the first place team in my division . Hopefully I can keep getting wins. These first few weeks of the season have been terrible.

Surprised Hechavarria was still available. I picked him up over a month ago.

Not sure why but I still have Big Papi on my team. I rarely play him in that Util spot (Prince is my main 1B). Looking to drop him, but not sure who I should replace him with.

 

[stick]

^ Seems like guys are getting complacent with their teams. I see guys being rostered who should be on waivers and vice-versa. We also only get 100 adds for the year so some guys are being frugal with their pickups. I'm already at 36 :\.

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I dropped prado for inciarte. Similar strikeout n walk numbers but inciarte has more steals n a better babip

 

[stick]

Drop Shin-Soo Choo for Kevin Pillar? Pillar's been killing it over the past 10 or so games while Soo Choo's production has kinda fell off since he was on a tear in May.

who else is available? choo would be the better choice if he struck out less, really all pilar has over him.

Waiver Wire is pretty dry for Outfielders. I was just browsing the players and saw Pillar's recent stats so I thought I'd ask for an opinion on him .

 

[johnnyredstorm]

pillar is the better contact hitter, strikes out less, walks a little less, less power, not a terrible option if you dont want choo, but might not have the ceiling choo has (although I'm not big on choo whatsoever).
