OFFICIAL 2018 FANTASY BASEBALL THREAD

Outlook on Britton is def. not looking good. MRI on Monday but I'm expecting him to miss a healthy amount of time. Hope I'm wrong, but 2 stints on the dl in consecutive weeks for a forearm? Yikes


Bellinger looking super legit btw. And looking like a must play with A-Gon on the shelf.

Yep, they said there was no structural damage after the last MRI but it's still not good at all. In H2H category leagues I'm a big proponent of punting saves in the draft and just playing the waiver wire during the season for closers. I do it every year and still end up with respectable results. Closer Monkey is a godsend.

So glad I grabbed Bellinger when he was called up and held onto him earlier this week . Kid is killing it.

I should have grabbed him and blocked the kid who wound up doing so. He has Adrian on the DL.

What makes me mad is that I had Judge and dropped him before he went on this monster run smfh

feel your pain on judge believe me. Also cut him too soon

 

[macbk]

Judge went un-drafted in my league. I wanted to add him but at the time I had Didi & Sanchez and didn't want to add another Yankee .

If you guys are in the market for a 1B, Yonder Alonso may be worth a look.

Looking to trade for either Justin Turner of Rendon. Who do you all like for rest of season?

I already have Jake lamb but the strikeout numbers are no bueno

The Dodgers rely on Justin Turner more than the Nationals rely on Rendon, so I'd keep Turner.

Do I drop Peralta for Gardner?

 

[nomnom]

Such a disaster for my managing the last 2 days

Streamed the okay pitchers that ended up just being horrible this weekend and put in the pitchers that blew saves instead of benching them

nats bullpen is absolute trash

Needed Chapman to get a quick save so Lester would get the loss, and just happens to REALLY GIVE UP 3 RUNS IN THE 9TH?

My team went off this week. 20 HRs and 61 RBIs. Pitching was awesome too but the dude I played against streamed someone every day so I had no chance in Ks, Ws, or QSs . Went 8-4.

I just scooped Bellinger off of waivers.

Would you trade:

Bellinger for Stanton

Seems obvious but im psyching myself out lol

 

[macbk]

Added Gardner/dropped Peralta after my initial post. Figured they are a similar player and it's better to ride the hot hand.

If the Stanton owner is willing to, take the trade and run.

Stanton and Conforto
For
Bellinger and Dickerson

Got my first h2h W of the season this week. Figures I now verse the best team in the league .

Thanks man. Its funny cause i work with the dude and he just really wanted Bellinger. His team is stacked and 5-0 so he can take risks like that lol

Per Jerry: if progress continues, Felix-Paxton-Haniger could all return next homestand. #Mariners

May 15th starts the homestand

 

[lovehateself]

2 straight wins in the NT h2h league after starting 0-3

What's a good source to check on for weather updates?

Been getting bopped with lineups locking during a delay or when they eventually become ppd

Can't really blame anyone but yourself if you're rostering Matt Albers or Blake Treinen

Only bullpen members on the Nats worth anything are Glover and Kelley and they're both hurt.

This is the most reliable site. They give you hourly forecasts and wind patterns if the wind is blowing in or out. http://dailybaseballdata.com/cgi-bin/weather.pl

Britton expected to be sidelined 45-60 days with strained muscle in left forearm.

 

[nick.]

Mark Melancon to the DL with a forearm strain

Glad I grabbed Brach the other day.

Closers going down like crazy .

K-Rod was demoted today as well. The Tigers announced Justin Wilson as the closer. I'm thinking about dropping Keon Broxton or Jose Peraza to grab him. The potential is there for those two, but they're the weakest links on my team at this point.
