anyone have any trade or propsect questions, let me know.

17:48Baller - Glynda
Yes, I do.. Some guy said he'll do CC and Freeman for Sale and a hitter which should I ask from.. from that group of 5.. probably can't get alvarez.

17:48 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
glynda- you'd be receiving sale?17:48Baller - Glynda
Yes

17:48 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
i think it's a fair deal, is this for h2h or roto

17:49Baller - Richie
I would take a risk on Kemp Glynda

17:49Baller - Glynda
h2h espn.. but what hitter should I ask for

17:49 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
i think dealing the 2 for sale is worth it in roto

17:49 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
sabathia is a peripheral killer right now, and freeman isnt quite an elite option

17:49Baller - Miles
Hey Tyler, what are your thoughts on Brad Miller. Seems to have some hype but only one good week. I have him in a H2 pts league.

17:50 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
glynda- who are the owner's hitters?

17:50Baller - Glynda
He would possibly give up Eric young Jr, Leonys Martin,

17:50Baller - Glynda
maybe Chase Utley doubt it

17:50 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- i think with the emergence of dustin ackley, he could get dropped in the batting order, if he doesn't keep producing.

17:51 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
also, franklin has been playing lights out- so miller has a lot of competition, but he should still get everyday ab's ros.

17:52Baller - Miles
I agree. Thinking of dropping him. But not sure who to replace him with. Looking at guys like Crawford, Drew, Beckham,

17:52 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
gylnda- stay away from young at the moment, bc his injury status is still not known. so, i'd take martin of the 2. but try to target a better player if you can to go along with sale.

17:53Baller - Jeanine
U guys like lawrie hill or lucroy at util ROS?

17:53 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- what position is miller currently being used at, on your team?

17:53Baller - Richie
Hey Tyler

17:53Baller - Richie
do you like Hamels or CC long term

17:53 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
jeanine- still go with lawrie, despite the injury risk.

17:54Baller - Miles
I have him at MI. I have Jed Lowrie at SS, Kipnis at 2nd. Waiver wire is pretty sllim

17:54 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
hey richie, how's it going? late-night rotoballer tyler here; i'll be live chatting until 1 a.m. est. i go until 2 on weekdays.

17:55Baller - Jeanine
even with hill starting to hit I kno he got hurt today though

17:55 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
richie- i like hamels over cc

17:55Baller - Richie
why?

17:56Baller - Gregorio
I like hamels over CC by a wide margin

17:56 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
richie- cc doesn't have the same velocity as in year's past and he plays in a tougher hitting division.

17:56Baller - Richie
true

17:56Baller - Richie
thanks

17:56 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- pretty weak options there, any other alternatives. maybe you should give ackley a shot.

17:57Baller - Miles
I can grab Ackley.

17:58Baller - Miles
one more, Zac McAllister a viable match up option in a 12 h2h pts league? I struggle grabbing these young guys.

17:58Baller - Jeanine
u think lawrie gets moved up in order now that hes hitting

17:59 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- if it's a weekly league, i'd stay away from mcallister.

17:59 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
jeanine- i think he could get moved up a few spots; the 6th spot at best if i had to predict.

18:00 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- i like ackley as a 12-team league pickup, for needy-middle infield owners. might as well use him while he's hot.

18:00Baller - Jillian
Tyler what do you think of trading Beltre, Austin Jackson and Prado for Freeman, Matt Moore and Bourn? I would be giving away Beltre who isnt Keepable but the side I would be getting are all keepable

18:01 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
he's currently batting 7th in the order, so he doesn't have great counting stats potential. but the seattle offense has been on fire lately, so worth a gamble.

18:01 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
jillian- h2h or roto?

18:01Baller - Jillian
h2h

18:02Baller - Jillian
my picthing is terrible that is why im trying to get moore

18:02Baller - Jillian
pitching

18:03 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
jillian- if it's h2h, i think you should keep the players you have. moore is def a top-20 starter imo, but he's much more appealing in roto. bourn is mostly a sb option, so he's the most easily replaceable. and freeman isn't an elite option.

18:03 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
also, prado is bound for a big 2nd half

18:04Baller - Jillian
yea he has been hot of late

18:04 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
jillian- beltre is still the best player in the deal, and he shouldn't be dealt unless you're getting a top-10 starter in return.

18:06Baller - Miles
Hey Tyler. Way to keep with all this, impressive. Thoughts on Erasmo and Martin Perez (12 team H2H weekly). I have decent SP and just looking at depth. But not sure they are worth holding this yr. More next yr.

18:08 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- yeah, both have solid keeper-appeal. but i like perez a lot more for this season. he is worth owning in most 12-teamers, and erasmo can be avoided at this point.

18:09Baller - Miles
Thanks. I will hang on to Perez. And ditch Erasmo and add a hitter. Nothing on the waiver wire worth grabbing really.

18:10 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- perez isn't must-own ros, but he has solid win-potential when given the right match-up. not a great strikeout pitcher, if that's what you're looking for.

18:11 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- np, here to help.

18:11Baller - Miles
Good point on Perez. He hasn't overwhelmed me. And I think I can afford to ditch him.

18:12Baller - Miles
hey is Daniel Nava only hitting against RHP? Picked him up but missed he only hits against RHP

18:12 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- if your starting staff doesn't have great win totals, then keeping perez makes sense.

18:14Baller - Miles
I ave Lester, Griffin, Bumgartner, Lackey, Minor, Holland, Grenke, CJ Wilson, and Cahill on IR

18:14 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
yeah, nava has not been receiving everyday ab's, which has put a major damper on his value.

18:15Baller - Beverly
H2H-mixed, 12 teams, daily moves, each cat is worth 1 point. Win that cat for the week, earn 1 point. W-L-T Cats: R, H, 1B, 2B, 3B, HR, RBI, SB, TB, A, FPCT, AVG, OPS, CYC, OFA I need a filler for D Brown. I was thinking dropping De Aza also. Then grab Aoki and Quentin? FA: Dan Uggla (Atl - 2B). Carlos Quentin (SD - OF). Kelly Johnson (TB - 2B,3B,OF). Norichika Aoki (Mil - OF). Zack Cozart (Cin - SS). Jordy Mercer (Pit - 2B,SS). David Freese (StL - 3B). Ryan Doumit (Min - C,OF). ROSTER:C Yadier Molina (StL - C), 1B Prince Fielder (Det - 1B), 2B Ben Zobrist (TB - 2B,SS,OF), 3B Ryan Zimmerman (Was - 3B), SS Brad Miller (Sea - SS), OF Matt Carpenter (StL - 1B,2B,3B,OF), OF Alex Gordon (KC - OF), OF Marlon Byrd (NYM - OF), Util Josh Donaldson (Oak - 3B), Alejandro De Aza (CWS - OF), DL Domonic Brown (Phi - OF)

18:15Baller - Miles
oh and I have Santiago who has RP eligibility.

18:15 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
bumgarner, holland, greinke, lester, minor, lackey, wilson, cahill ros.

18:17 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
aoki>quentin

18:18Baller - Beverly
pick them both up and also drop De Aza? notice I also have Brad Miller...he's not panning out well...maybe I just hold and drop him when Brown come off DL?

18:19 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
15 minutes left until i have to call it a night: start sending the questions, ha!

18:19Baller - Jillian
Freeman and Bumgarner for Beltre and Prado sould good Tyler? Bumgarner I can keep Beltre I cant and im out of the playoffs

18:20Baller - Richie
should I be looking to trade Rios right now Tyler?

18:20 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
beverly- i would add aoki for miller. i would hold de aza until brown returns, unless there are inferior options.

18:21 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
richie- it depends on if he gets traded or not. if he does, then it would be wise to wait on it, bc his value would ultimately rise.

18:21 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
if rios goes to the rangers let's say, then his owners may be able to increase the asking price.

18:22 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
richie- i agree tho, that he is a good sell-high, but i'd at least wait to see if a trade develops.

18:22Baller - Jillian
Freeman and Bumgarner for Beltre and Prado sould good Tyler? Bumgarner I can keep Beltre I cant and im out of the playoffs

18:23Baller - Miles
Thoughts on Mitch Moreland? Could try to ride the highs with him as well.

18:23Baller - Beverly
but i still have an OPEN bench spot to fill since i put Brown on DL. if I drop Miller I still have that open bench. if I drop Miller and pick up Aoki I sitll have an open bench. so you want me to keep that open bench till Brown returns? i love Quentin on the road and he's been very good in this scoring system

18:24 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
jillian- as much as i like prado to turn it around, i think the freeman-bum is the better side from an overall value standpoint. but if you are deep in starting pitching, the trade makes sense.

18:25Baller - Jillian
I would be getting the Bumgarner side

18:26Baller - Angelica
Def worth it

18:26 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
beverly- if you still have an extra bench slot, then just add aoki. if you are desperate for hr totals, then add quentin for miller, not de aza.

18:27 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
jillian- i like the bum side slightly more, so i would take the deal.

18:27Baller - Beverly
thanks

18:27 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
beverly- what about junior lake? is he available by any chance?

18:29Baller - Beverly
hmm..let me see

18:29Baller - Beverly
No Tyler

18:30 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- mitch mooreland can offer respectable rbi totals, while posting a solid ba.

18:30 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
i just wouldn't expect the same kind of hr production he was offering earlier in the season

18:30Baller - Elroy
should i drop swisher or morneau for lake?

18:31 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
beverly- awww that's too bad. lake is one of the hottest pickups right now, prob the number one waiver priority after yelich.

18:32 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
elroy- well both play 1B but swisher also offers of eligibility, and he's in a better offense. so i would drop morneau for lake, and keep swisher.

18:33Baller - Miles
you thinking Lake is a good option in a points league as well?

18:33 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
late-night rotoballer has 10 more minutes left of live-chat!

18:33Baller - Elroy
Thanks Tyler! I appreciate it!

18:34Baller - Richie
Hey Tyler

18:34Baller - Richie
do you like Glen Perkins or Kenley Jansen and why

18:35 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- i think lake is still worth starting in points leagues, as long as you are weak at 3B. he isn't the most reliable option but he doesn't produce many k's.

18:35 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
richie- def kenley jansen.

18:35Baller - Beverly
Tyler...i am looking for more RBIs...Aoki does not help with that eh?

18:36 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
jansen is pitching for one of the best teams in baseball, so he'll get a lot more opportunities. and perkins could lose his relevancy in save-only leagues, if he gets traded at the deadline.

18:36Baller - Richie
Jansen or Rafael Soriano

18:37 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
beverly- no, not at all. aoki is a steals specialist and an above average run producer.

18:37 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
richie- soriano for saves, but jansen is better for peripherals.

18:38Baller - Richie
thanks Tyler

18:38Baller - Beverly
so should I switch and grab Quentin first?

18:39Baller - Beverly
thats why i picked up Byrd for RBI help...in this league since ther are so many cats...have to pick some and target them to win at least 5 of the 8 each week

18:40 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
beverly- i wouldn't mind dropping miller, but if your waiver wire's middle infield is extremely shallow, then find an alternative for quentin. it sounds like you're afraid to lose miller.

18:41 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
richie- if jansen is getting a decent amount of opportunities, then he's an elite closer.

18:42 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
i have 5 more minutes to go, folks.

18:43Baller - Miles
Rex Brothers, or Tanner Sheppers, for RP. I have Balfour and all other true closers are gone (H2H pts league).

18:44 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- brothers is the better option since he's a closer.

18:46Baller - Miles
Tyler how often do you do this?

18:48 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
it's truly been a pleasure chatting fantasy baseball with you folks, as always! enjoy the weekend and hopefully we'll continue to stay in touch: 12-1 a.m. est weekends, 12-2 a.m. est weekdays. oh, and also try to stay active with this site as much as possible, and spread the word! see ya later.

18:48Baller - Miles
twitter?

18:50 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
miles- my twitter account isn't active at the moment, but will be up and running in the near future.

18:50Baller - Miles
okay I will be watching.

18:51Baller - Elroy
Thanks for the advice Tyler

18:51 Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com
elroy- any time, take care!
