21:03Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com Hey Guys! I now offer you a late-night RotoBaller. My name's Tyler, but i can also go by Ty. Feel free to ask for as much advice needed. I will be chatting away for the next 15 minutes or so. |
|
21:03Baller - Myles keeper league choose 3: segura, machado, posey, encarnacion, strasburg |
|
21:03Baller - Marita Drop carlos martinez or Eric stultz |
|
21:04Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com myles: before i answer it, is this roto or h2h. and is it a re-draft or a permanent league? |
|
21:04Baller - Adaline pick 2 of 4 for 2nd half, Soriano, Myers, Rasmus, Heyward. |
|
21:04Baller - Jeanine U like Napoli or lucroy ROS? |
|
21:04Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com marita- for a one year league, i would rather have stults at the moment. but, if word comes out on martinez being a sp, then reverse my decision, hahaha. |
|
21:05Baller - Myles tyler: h2h and keep 3 and redraft |
|
21:05Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com adaline: heyward and myers |
|
21:05Baller - Marita Lol I'm scared to drop him for just that but I need room for darvish off dl |
|
21:05Baller - Jillian Drop Alciedes Escobar, Chacin or Erasmo for Wily Peralta |
|
21:06Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com myles: if you can only keep 3, i'd leave out segura and machado. |
|
21:06Baller - Adaline 2nd half, Dickey or Lynn ? |
|
21:07Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com jilian: depends on the league. bc in roto leagues, alcides is hard to drop in deeper leagues. |
|
21:07Baller - Jillian its a 16-team keeper league h3h |
|
h2h |
|
21:07Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com jillian: but i'd easily drop erasmo of the bunch, from a value standpoint. |
|
adaline: give me lynn. |
|
21:07Baller - Jeanine lucroy or Napoli ROS? |
|
Lucroy wont kill your BA at least.... |
|
21:08Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com jeanine: sorry for the delay. umm, tough question bc napoli has def been the better option overall, but with both player veering in separate directions, it depends on your statistical needs. |
|
21:09Baller - Adaline Lucroy prediction: Ends as top 5 C - Napoli is a strikeout machine. |
|
21:09Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com jeanine: if it's for roto, i'll take my chances with lucroy. but in h2h, it depends on your team's needs. |
|
21:09Baller - Minh Any opinion on Castellanos. Yelich, Bogaerts having a fantasy playoff impact |
|
21:09Baller - Jeanine thanks yea I dropped Napoli for him yesterday and Napoli hit a hr today |
|
its h2h and I would like a little more consistent hitting |
|
21:10Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com minh- i think yelich has the most potential to do any real damage. simply bc he will have a very long leash, once he gets promoted. |
|
bogaerts to me is a "must-own" keeper player, but you can avoid him in one-year leagues. |
|
i think an 014' debut is much more likely. |
|
1st SP to Add, Kluber, Gonzales (BAL), Archer ? |
|
21:12Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com jeanine- i think nap is a little more useful in h2h bc of the low ba. but i agree that if you need consistency, take lucroy. |
|
adaline: archer |
|
21:12Baller - Minh Seems so on '14 but Bogaerts is sure pushing |
|
21:12Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com adaline: at least as a short-term option. kluber may have the most "staying power" of the bunch, but archer can provide more brilliancy while he's hot. |
|
21:13Baller - Leo Ryu get the start tomorrow against the Jays? |
|
21:14Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com leo- it appears he will be facing the blue jays ace johnson: intriguing matchup! |
|
Think I should start him? |
|
21:16Baller - Minh Ray's got the pedal down- 4 with the Sox this week |
|
21:16Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com leo- yes, definitely. he has been very shaky of late, but with the dodgers' offense exploding in recent days, the dodgers starters have great win appeal. |
|
21:17Baller - Leo The only thing that is scaring me off is his road ERA being over a 4. |
|
Drop Miggy for Heidi Watney? |
|
21:20Baller - Leo I'd drop a lot of things for Heidi Warney, including Miggy. |
|
21:20Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com minh- oh yeah! miggy has cooled off just enough to make that a justifiable claim. |
|
21:20Baller - Minh good call |
|
fantasy |
|
Hmm got me thinking- Bogaerts a possible keeper with 6 keepers (12 team roto) |
|
21:23Baller - Ted How do you feel about Nova two starts this week? Sit Lackey.? |
|
21:23Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com i have about another 10 minutes of chatting actually: good news. i'm surprised it's been this long without any trade questions, ha! |
|
should i offer ryu for E cabrera or E santana for E cabrera/ |
|
? |
|
21:23Baller - Minh traded out |
|
I ltke me some Ryu |
|
21:24Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com soon- i would hold trade for cabrera if you are needy for steals. and if not so, then it still could be a sensible move if you an have an excess of pitchers. |
|
ryu i'd put slightly ahead of santana and he holds much greater value. |
|
21:26Baller - Leo Debating on dropping Jeter, Cole, Wheeler, or Morse for Archer... |
|
21:26Baller - Soon i have, hernandez, darvish, papelbon, Jim johnson, kimbrel, santan, nova, ryu, duobront, t wood, w peralta and beachy |
|
21:26Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com santana is one of my favorite underrated starters: but his biggest problem is that he'll have a few "blow-up" outings from time to time, and they are extremely hard to predict. |
|
21:27Baller - Soon my league just count IP, K, SV, era and whip |
|
21:27Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com leo- drop jeter. |
|
21:27Baller - Soon no W, QS |
|
21:27Baller - Minh IP? weird |
|
21:27Baller - Hazel prob drop wheeler |
|
21:27Baller - Soon ya, innings pitched |
|
21:28Baller - Leo I was thinking Jeter too... I have Desmond, Hardy, and Murphy for SS/MI |
|
21:28Baller - Minh agree Jeter |
|
21:28Baller - Soon i dont know why, but the comissioner wanted it that way |
|
21:28Baller - Minh just odd- I like QS |
|
21:28Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com soon- without qs, then ryu's value goes down- bc he brings great consistency. |
|
leo- oh if you have desmond, then it's a no-brainer. |
|
21:29Baller - Minh ya he doesn't blow up |
|
21:30Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com 5 more minutes until i'm out- but it's been a pleasuring helping you guys out so far. |
|
21:30Baller - Minh It is more fun when you guys are in here ty |
|
21:31Baller - Soon so, who should i offer? |
|
21:31Baller - Leo We have both SS and MI start spots, and I was looking for Jeter to replace Hardy. Hardy hurts my average. |
|
21:31Baller - Ted Any 2 nd half studs left to target in the minors? And what do you feel Beachy brings the ROS? |
|
21:31Baller - Leo Either way, Jeter dropped for Archer. |
|
21:31Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com soon- yeah, if you want more of a sure-thing, then keep ryu over santana. plus, the dodgers' offense has been on fire lately. but santana is more of a hit or miss type player. high risk/ high reward. |
|
21:32Baller - Soon i like the K's that santana brings to the table |
|
21:32Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com ted- yes, i would keep a close eye on billy hamilton |
|
21:33Baller - Ted I was thinking that.. Or tajawn walker.. |
|
21:34Baller - Soon im gonna offer santana first, if the guy declines then ill offer him ryu |
|
21:34Baller - Soon or santana and b miller for cabrera |
|
21:34Baller - Minh Ellsbury is looking good- some power back |
|
lol |
|
21:35Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com soon- try the lighter deal and you can always make it stronger, ha. |
|
ted- i also think will middlebrooks will get another chance eventually. |
|
21:36Baller - Jillian Miller or Alcides Escobar in a H2H league |
|
21:36Baller - Leo I didn't see, does starting Ryu tomorrow against the Blue Jays get the yes or no from you guys? |
|
21:36Baller - Soon ill prefer miller. i had escobar and i drop him |
|
im gonna start him, what the hell |
|
21:36Baller - Ted I have miller and will keep him |
|
21:37Baller - Minh Ryu isn't a must start nut is with me |
|
but |
|
21:37Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com ted- some other prospects to consider: carlos martinez, christian yelich, and jonathan singelton. martinez has already been called up and could earn a starting rotation role in the coming weeks. |
|
leo- yes. i'd feel comfortable starting ryu. |
|
21:38Baller - Hazel Is Tommy Millone safe to stream tomorrow |
|
Josh rutledge... Any value.. Huge disappointment. But don't want to drop him |
|
21:38Baller - Leo I'm just weighing my options because I am ahead on IP...and on paper, the matchup looks shaky |
|
21:38Baller - Minh no ^& no |
|
21:38Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com ted- not much usefulness, unless you are in a very deep league. |
|
21:39Baller - Ted Thank you.. |
|
21:39Baller - Lino about as useful as CAmusta...LOL |
|
21:39Baller - Minh I targeted him/// Rutledge |
|
oops |
|
21:40Baller - Leo General question : Is it worth it to keep a backup catcher? I have Rosario as my usual starter with Castro as a backup...Castro has been fairly poopy as of late, and I wouldn't mind finding someone to fill that spot. |
|
21:40Baller - Lino I mean Carmona |
|
21:41Baller - Ted Just scooped up erased ramirez.. I like him the 2nd half once I lose miller or Harvey to innings cap |
|
21:41Baller - Jillian tyler miller or escobar? |
|
21:41Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com when it comes to prospects for this season, the two best teams to closely monitor are the marlins and astros. they could promote top-of-the-line players at several different positions. |
|
21:41Baller - Minh Are you guys all in Ohio>? |
|
21:42Baller - Josh looking to add Brad Miller, drop Markakis or Rendon? |
|
21:43Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com josh- i would wouldn't add him for either. but if you are that desperate at ss, then drop rendon. |
|
21:43Baller - Ted Leo.. We start two.. I have rosario and Perez and sat on yasmani till he got hurt.. Catchers go down often.. DArnaud might be up soon |
|
not desperate, but Markakis has done absoltely nothing going on 2 months now |
|
21:44Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com josh- ik, but he's still a must-own in 12 teamers or deeper. |
|
21:44Baller - Josh im 10 team |
|
markakis has 2rbi for the entire month of july |
|
no power |
|
no SB |
|
21:46Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com ik, but his track-record is enough to warrant ownership. listen, if you have plenty of solid alternatives on the wire, then feel free to pull the plug on him. but, if you're in a deep roto league, it just doesn't seem like a sensible move. |
|
21:46Baller - Ted Josh... Miller had 5 rbi yesterday.. Lol |
|
21:46Baller - Josh 10 team H2H |
|
Miller has 2 rbi today alone, matching Markakis total for the month |
|
and markakis has an enitre all star team batting arounf him |
|
21:47Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com josh- markakis is an OF, so he's the most replaceable of the bunch, but he's still the most valuable of the 3. drop rendon if you are still gonna be deep at 2B/3B. |
|
21:48Baller - Josh i have Tulo/Brandon Phillips/Aybar aside from rendon |
|
21:48Tyler Petagine - RotoBaller.com thanks guys for giving me some tough questions, as always. i have to head out now (getting late), so i'll hopefully see you guys during the week. take care! |
