|
10:48 Would you trade pujols, granderson, and asdrubal for cano, goldshmidt, and hardy? |
|
10:50 @Tiffanie - I would... cano and goldy are crazy good, may be the best 2 players in the deal right now |
|
10:51 would you go for that the other way though? I'd have to try to sell that trade to my friend |
|
10:52 i prefer cano, goldshmidt, and hardy |
|
10:52 What if I switched Justin Upton with Granderson? |
|
10:53 yea thats a good deal. but only if you have someone solid at 2b to replace cano |
|
10:53 thats something for my friend to worry about haha |
|
10:55 ha... good luck |
|
@Louise - none of those SS are great, id play the hot hands and rotate them |
|
10:56 Drop Konerko to pick up Donaldson or Marco ? |
|
10:57 who's Marco .... Scutaro? |
|
10:58 Yes scutaro |
|
10:58 would u do victor martinez and mat latos for matt kemp? |
|
10:58 @Mariano - pickup Donaldson. dont drop Konerko yet |
|
@Tracie - yes i like that trade for you |
|
10:59 Who to drop for Donaldson. Wells, Konerko, escobar, hunter? |
|
11:00 wait? u would take the victor and mat latos? |
|
11:00 no - Kemp side is better |
|
11:02 hm |
|
11:02 Happy Saturday RotoBallers! |
|
11:02 If you wouldn't drop Konerko, would you drop a. Escobar, hunter or wells? |
|
11:02 who is ready for a crazy weekend of baseball? |
|
11:03 @Mariano - torii hunter, vernon wells, or alcedes escobar? |
|
11:03 Im just hoping the braves dont get rained out, got tickets to the game |
|
11:03 Yes those three |
|
11:03 whos ur other SS if u drop escobar? |
|
11:03 yeah |
|
they were set to torch Capuano tonight |
|
wow |
|
or should I say set to torch |
|
game not called yet |
|
11:04 And I have Castro so escobar is a backup uo |
|
11:04 what about ernesto frieri and cc sabathia for matt kemp which side is better to get? |
|
11:05 pretty ticked off, i missed grabbing laroche by a few hours, of course he then goes and hits 4 bombs in 3 days |
|
11:05 Since I have Castro is dropping a. Escobar Ok? |
|
11:05 i would drop either Torii or Escobar |
|
@Tracie - Kemp is better |
|
huge upside, best player in deal |
|
11:06 I am trying to get Kemp but I dn't know what to give up to get him |
|
I need OF hitting help |
|
11:06 who is RotoBallin' out of control right now?! |
|
I know I am.... |
|
setting lineups, watching games... |
|
11:07 Im sad Cingrani got sent down, but it was obvious teams were figuring him out |
|
11:11 yea its tough |
|
he'll be back tho |
|
11:12 So dropping torii for scurtro if I have Rios, braun, trumbo, and wells as my other of? |
|
Also since cingrani got sent down, should I drop him due to not knowing when he will be back if at all? |
|
11:16 im not a cingrani owner, but if i were id hang tight for a few days in case one of the other reds pitchers gets injured or blown up |
|
11:17 What 3B value could i expect if i put harvey on market? |
|
11:17 Harvey should only be traded for elite players at this point. hes the real deal |
|
11:18 Ok I have Detwiler... Should I drop him and if so for who? Santiago, santana, McAllister, chacin, Guthrie, De la Rosa, Kendrick, wood, Garcia, slowey |
|
11:20 ervin santana or jaime garcia are best players there |
|
11:20 David Wright or Evan Longo type? Or are they too high for Harvey? |
|
11:20 Even after Garcia bad last stsrt |
|
11:21 all SPs have bad starts time to time. look at bumgarner last night |
|
11:22 Why not wood or Kendrick? They seem unstoppable |
|
11:22 @Sharon - if you could get longo or wright for harvey id strongly conider |
|
11:22 Even on bad teams. |
|
11:23 yes - theyre great also. check our fantasy waiver wire piece for full waiver wire analysis: http://dev.rotoballer.com/2013-fantasy-baseball-waiver-wire-daily-watch-list/ |
|
11:24 How do you feel about b mccarthy today against marlins? |
|
11:25 i like that matchup. marlins horrible, and mccarthy could be heating up |
|
11:27 de aza on waivers... worth dropping mclouth, t. hunter or victorino for? |
|
11:29 hunter has the least upside of them all. id def pickup de aza if he's on waivers |
|
11:30 yeah, i'm thinking smart move could be to drop mclouth, but my heart can't do it:) |
|
hunter is cooling off |
|
cubs are absolutely smoking hefner here in the 4th |
|
11:33 hang onto mclouth - more upside than torii |
|
scott feldmand pitching solid for the cubs again today also |
|
11:34 ok thanks Leo |
|
11:34 good luck |
|
11:35 and you think victorino > hunter even with recent health issues? |
|
11:37 Would you take feldman over Garcia, Kendrick, wood, or santana? |
|
11:37 mariano - i wouldn't... |
|
11:37 i like victorino's upside more, but its close |
|
mariano - a lot of those guys are pitching well now - you can rotate or stream them based on matchups |
|
11:39 I wish I could.... It's a weekly league |
|
11:40 send me a private chat with your entire roster, ill tell you who to drop |
|
11:43 I can't figure out how to on my phone for some reason. Can I tell you on here? |
|
11:43 why can't you stream in a weekly? |
|
11:44 sure list it out here mariano |
|
11:45 daniel murphy or neil walker? |
|
11:45Baller - Donald daniel murphy or neil walker? |
|
neil walker long term because of his power upside, but its close |
|
11:46Baller - Mariano Santana as c, Gonzalez as 1b,altuve, beltre, Castro, torii, braun, Rios, trumbo, Konerko, escobar as ss, v wells, gio, medlen, maholm, dempster, cingrani, Detwiler, mujica, Rodney and Corbin. |
|
11:51Baller - Adrienne okay ill take them one at a time. first move id make is drop detwiler for ervin santana |
|
11:53 Ok great... Anything else? |
|
11:54 next id drop maholm for jamie garcia |
|
11:55 i'm tired of espn public leagues -- what's out there that's better? |
|
11:55 Anything else uncle Leo? |
|
11:55 is there a way to join a weekly league or something mid-season? |
|
11:57 if nothing happens with cingrani after a few days, you can probably drop him at rotate Kendrick, wood, etc. Or pickup either, your teams looks solid, good luck |
|
12:00 Uncle Leo... Who would you drop to pickup Donaldson? |
|
12:01 you can drop torii hunter for donaldson... solid move |
|
12:02 What about dropping escobar if I have cast? |
|
Castro |
|
12:02 SS is thin, id hang onto escobar unless you have a great waiver wire add |
|
12:08 arite guys... thanks for RotoBallin' with me. good luck with your leagues, and you can always hit us up on @RotoBaller with quick hit questions |
