13:36Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Miami's OF could be Ozuna, Yelich, Stanton in the near future

13:37Baller - Helen

Im hoping

13:37Baller - Shalonda

GM need your advice Heyward & Cobb for Fowler & Wilhelmes

13:38Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Heyward side

13:38Baller - Helen

Franklin or Escobar at back up SS ?

13:38Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Escobar

13:38Baller - Helen

A. Escobar

coo

13:38Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

I'd love to say Franklin but no idea if the OBP will carry over

13:39Baller - Helen

i hear ya. It's my only concern. We already know who Esco is

13:39Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

yes indeedy

13:40Baller - Shalonda

Hamilton & wilhelmsen better deal?

13:40Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

I'd take Hamilton & Tom spec. if you need saves

13:41Baller - Shalonda

Yeah he's trying to give me fowler I want Hamilton...

13:42Baller - Helen

Rollins or Esco today?

13:45Baller - Sophie

esco

13:46Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

actually today I'd go with JStroll

13:46Baller - Helen

Why's that?

Pitcher?

13:47Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Franklin Morales...

13:47Baller - Helen

Agh!

Esco is playing Wacha Flacka....

13:47Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Wacha never been seen before

13:48Baller - Helen

true

hes on St Louie though....

13:49Baller - Coleman

Which waiver wire 2B can I pick to play? I have Utley and Aaron Hill come back from DL?..

13:49Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

although....Rollins is 0-5 vs Morales

Coleman who are the options?

13:49Baller - Helen

Ill just roll with N. Frankin then....lol

13:50Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

haha

I'd still say Rollins but its all luck anyway

13:50Baller - Coleman

Not much.. Nick Franklin, Nick Punto, Darin Barney..

13:50Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Franklin would be the add

13:50Baller - Helen

it truly is

13:50Baller - Coleman

Galvis, Ryan Roberts, Lombardozzi.. you get the idea

Franklin it is then..

13:52Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

actually Galvis could hold the most value short term

sneaky pop and speed combo

Franklin more of a long term guyer

13:53Baller - Helen

I gotta sit one of my RP's for Wacha....who do I sit? Rodney, K. Rod, or J. Johnson? I'm thinking K. Rod...

frigen eligibility

13:54Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Rodney if its daily rosters

13:54Baller - Helen

yup

13:54Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

3 straight games prob would be Peralta if a save came up today

13:54Baller - Coleman

It isnt a dynasty league so short term would be better, so should I roll with Galvis instead of Franklin?

13:55Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

yeah Galvis until Utley returns

13:55Baller - Glen

travis wood with wind blowing out today or alex colome against miami

13:55Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Colome

13:55Baller - Sophie

think it's peralta and not mcgee?

13:55Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

9.96 K/9 for Colome

yeah it would be Peralta

13:56Baller - Tamra

Shawn - as a follow up to my earlier trade ? - What do you think of Aoki & Sandoval for Altuve & Jennings?

13:56Baller - Helen

Would you drop a infield position player for Ozuna?

13:56Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Im taking the Altuve side

but its close

13:56Baller - Helen

Franklin & Esco

13:56Baller - Tamra

ok, thats the side im on. Took Lynn off the table for BJ Upton.

13:57Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

yup I would drop Franklin for Ozuna

13:57Baller - Helen

alrighty

no hope in him, huh?

13:57Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Ozuna would be a 20/20 threat in any other stadium

13:57Baller - Coleman

someone's giving me Stanton for Marte.. already have Willingham, Braun and Choo in outfield.. seems fair trade?

13:58Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

I would take Stanton

I actually just got "Dont Call Me Mike" myself

Marte will be leveling off for the ROS

14:01Baller - Joni

is moreland colling off? still worth keeping?

14:01Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

He will be streaky

but I think a .260 average with 30 HR isnt out of the question

he's a fringe second tier 1B

14:02Baller - Tamra

What are your thoughts on Gyorko (Keeper league)? Worth dropping Seager or Weeks for him?

14:02Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

I would take Gyorko over Weeks at this point

not Seager though

14:03Baller - Coleman

Does Marte, Castro and McCannvseem fair for Stanton, Rizzo and Rollins? Need help at 1B since I have Yonder.. my C is Santana

14:03Baller - Joni

i already have goldschmidt and cuddyer has 1B eligibility if needed. I picked up moreland when he was hot. wondering if I should hang on to him or should I drop him and pick up whoever else is hot currently for the utility position (currently it's domonic brown). i might have to let go of moreland when utley is back from the DL

or drop moreland for another streamer - like jeff locke or zach mcallister? whoever is trending well.

14:05Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

i would hold onto Mitch, Cuddyer is a health risk

14:06Baller - Coleman

what ya think about the trade Shawn?

14:08Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

doesn't Santana have 1B elig?

He should

14:09Baller - Wilda

Is having Wacha in the lineup today too risky?

14:09Baller - Coleman

Yes, but and McCann and Grandal on my bench

14:09Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Wilda, depends on how much $ you have on it haha

14:09Baller - Wilda

haha, currently 2nd place in roto league despite being last in wins and Ks

14:10Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Start McCann at catcher and move Santana to 1B

I think Wacha is a worthy add for sure

14:10Baller - Helen

Gausman just got dropped. Should I scoop him up?

14:11Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

no leave Gausman there

14:11Baller - Helen

Lol. Ok

14:11Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

he needs more work in Double-A

14:11Baller - Helen

yup

14:11Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

Alright 'gents. I must bid you farewell for today

BOL, as for that trade...I say stick with Marte/Castro/McCann with Santana at 1B

14:12Baller - Coleman

Appreciate it.. thanks

14:12Shawn Caswell - RotoBaller.com

anytime!
