I def had my eye on Glasnow but being dealt the #12 pick meant going into survival mode.

Now someone offer me a better 1b!

Well timed trade!!

#Dbacks Zac Gallen scratched with right lateral forearm soreness. Still being evaluated. He's been getting treatment for 10 days.

Too many crusty vets for my usual liking but they’re offset by some rising(?) young stars(??)

I SWEAR TO GOD I DIDN'T KNOW

IM SORRY ✖

NOT SORRY ENOUGH TO CANCEL THE TRADE BUT

How dare you try to fleece a 13 year old, have you shame Will?

*no

lol i don't expect the trade to be reversed or anything, still a young guy so i'll get some value out of him after what i can only assume will be 4 consecutive tommy john surgeries

as always, i'll do my best to keep this sheet up to date. shows all keeper-eligible players for 2022 with their age as of apr 1 2022, updated w/ who they were traded to, and if they were dropped. if you're making a trade for a keepable player here's a good place to check that they weren't dropped/picked up at some point or what not

thanks!

Thanks for keeping track of all this dude!

That’s hilarious

I had to research it first, but that's an epic team avatar there

make sure your lineups are set, boys!

My closer had TJ surgery this week. Smashing start to the season!

yermin's gonna be pickup of the year isn't he

If he can get eligibility at a position or two...

Is it too late to punt on all categories? #strategy

Teams will now just be 10 UTL slots.

me!

I just returned yesterday from a weeklong spring break in the mountains and was very surprised to see my team is hanging in there despite my top 3 players playing a total of zero games and a rash of injuries.

I was able to hike up to a nearby peak to our campsite that I was able to get a bar of phone coverage and set my lineup and try to pick some triage scraps off the waiver wire.

A View to Akil is also available to anyone, just sayin.

McMahon hit 3 (3!) homeruns on my bench today

pretty good day for the bench boys, actually: 5/8, 4 HR

It’s not fantasy baseball if your bench isn’t out hitting the entire league.

Thwacking sound by auto-drafted bums headed to the cellar.

It’s not fantasy baseball if your bench isn’t out hitting the entire league.

lol i know this goes in the other glorping fantasy leagues thread but your bench is either A) outhitting the rest of the league or B) entirely made up of IR/injured players. my bench for week 3 in other league is currently Bell, Olson, Taylor, Donaldson, Jimenez, K Lewis, Mondesi, Grisham

✖! what are you doing with your team? Buck Farmer?!

If you have a problem with Buck Farmer you have a problem with me

(I'm trying to pick up potential vulture saves)

saves aren't even a stat on their own in our league! Buck Farmer!!

oh, i have a new team name if anyone wants to give it a good home: Fedde Gott Fingers

yeah but saves are easier to hunt for than holds

late on this but Will, my team name is currently:

BillyChildishBambino

#dokeepup

Aw I could've sworn I checked to see if Hampson was available last night

He’s doing well? Drafted him last year with high hopes but he was a serious let down.
