13:24Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com Hey Rotoballers, I'm available to chat for the next 20 minutes or so. Got any questions for me? |
|
13:28Baller - Mohamed Ryan - what do you do with Marte in daily leagues this week? |
|
unsure if the at bats yesterday mean hes starting again or still dtd for a few |
|
13:29Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Mohamed - It was encouraging that Marte saw time in last night's game. Just keep an eye on the MLB lineups that are posted a few hours before each game to see if he's in there or not. |
|
13:30Baller - Brooks ive got Brown, Cuddyer, Blanks, Stanton, Agone, (Crawford on DL)..... is it worth dropping one of those (maybe Agone) for BJ Upton..... other than dingers, I need help in offense |
|
13:31Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Brooks - I wouldn't drop any of those guys for BJ Upton. Your offense could get worse! |
|
13:31Baller - Mohamed Rotoinfo not saying anything about Marte yet |
|
13:31Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Mohamed - It's still early. Start looking around 4pm or so. |
|
13:32Baller - Mohamed is the safe play just incase i dont get back to it this evening before game time just to leave him on bench? |
|
13:33Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com Because he saw time last night, I'd probably start him. If he ends up sitting, it's only one game. |
|
13:33Baller - Celina I have Valverde and Cishek is available. Should I drop him for Cishek or hold on to him? |
|
13:33Baller - Brooks i also have altuve who just sits on my bench - (kendrick my 2b) - BJ has been hitting better over the past week |
|
DET likely to trade for experienced closer, right? |
|
13:35Baller - Louvenia Would u offer Cashner for Teheran? |
|
13:36Baller - Mohamed Leake vs Pit, Corbin vs MIA either a sit? |
|
13:36Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Celina - I think Valverede keeps the job until he has 1 or 2 more blowups. That said, I'd feel a little more secure with Cisek right now. See if Putz is available. Might be worth a flier. |
|
@Brooks - I still prefer Altuve over BJ Upton. |
|
thx |
|
13:37Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Louvenia - I prefer Cashner slightly right now bc we don't know what will happen with Teheran when Beachy returns. I might do it if it's a keeper league though. |
|
13:37Baller - Alvaro Should I start Josh Hamilton, Starling Marte or Wil Myers this week? |
|
13:38Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Mohamed - You should start both. |
|
@Alvaro - Hamilton |
|
13:39Baller - Mohamed Pineda > or < Eram ros when they arrive? |
|
Thanks, its keeper |
|
13:39Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Mohamed - Probably Pineda but I REALLY like Erasmo Ramirez. |
|
13:41Baller - Brooks blanks or myers.... i say myers |
|
13:41Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Brooks - I'm not as high on Myers as everyone else is. I'd probably go with Blanks. |
|
13:42Baller - Mei Start Hudsen, Leake, or Wood today? all available on Waivers |
|
13:42Baller - Brooks leake |
|
13:42Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com I'd probably start Leake. |
|
13:43Baller - Brooks leake been really good as of late and has great offense behind him |
|
13:43Baller - Claudette Any thoughts on Kendrys Morales and Josh Willingham. I am about to shop them....should I? |
|
13:44Baller - Mei |
|
5X5 H2H..... |
|
13:44Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Claudette - Willingham doesn't have much trade value right now, as he's banged up. Morales isn't a very exciting trade chip either. Depends what you're looking to acquire in return. |
|
13:45Baller - Claudette either a trade to get a hot current bat or simply drop for someone like Rasmus who is on the wire |
|
im not high at all on Rasmus |
|
13:46Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Claudette - I doubt you'd get a hot bat for either Kendrys or Willingham and I prefer both players to Rasmus. |
|
13:46Baller - Brooks lots of wasted talent |
|
13:46Baller - Hobert Stephen Strasburg for Mike Minor if you have Mike Minor? |
|
13:46Baller - Claudette Asdrubal Cabrera should be returning soon, worth the pick up? i drafted him then dropped for neil walker |
|
Keep Strasburg |
|
I was offered that. |
|
I have Minor. |
|
13:47Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com @Hobert - Minor has been excellent this year. I really like the adjustments he has made, but yes, I would trade him for Strasburg. |
|
@Claudette - Seems Asdrubal is still a few weeks away but he's worth the pick up. You probably should have never dropped him in the first place. |
|
13:49Baller - Claudette Good insight, thanks for the input Ryan |
|
i dropped him since we have 1 DL spot and i have Pablo (the panda) and Puttz |
|
13:51Ryan Rufe - RotoBaller.com Alright guys, I've gotta run. Some great questions today! I'll be back tomorrow to field more of them. |
