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! |
