i was going through my team to start mass-adding/dropping players (my team is a fuckin' mess and april's over, seems like the right time to panic) and I was looking at my keep-eligible players... all of a sudden I was like, where did this one guy go? I didn't drop him, but he isn't on my team... turns out Felipe Rivero is now Felipe Vazquez.
Anyway the point is I'm blowing up a bunch of my team (mostly pitching) and the upthread keeper spreadsheet is updated.

i had never heard of jakob junis before this year and now he's the savior of my pitching staff. same deal with matthew boyd, to a slightly lesser extent. thank goodness for those random pick-ups that pay off.

everyone on my pitching staff is finding their way to the DL. I have to admit i had a grim lol at the phrasing on CarMart's most recent update:
The 26-year-old right-hander leaves behind a 1.62 ERA in eight total starts covering 50 innings.
― omar little, Friday, 11 May 2018 18:50 (five years ago) link
never thought i'd be worried about how an ERA would be raised

I had a great April but holy shit my team sucks this month. RIP see you next spring?

Cano about to go on the DL with a broken metacarpal, Beltre aggravates his hamstring and likely to the DL again.
― omar little, Sunday, 13 May 2018 22:07 (five years ago) link
ugh, Cano...
and now Jorge Soler has a "displaced rib."
― omar little, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 04:12 (five years ago) link
is there a keepers spreadsheet for this season?
― na (NA), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 16:33 (five years ago) link
Yep!
Note - the dropped players kinda gets updated when i have time/feel like it so it may not be 100% up to date at all times. i usually try to do it 1-2 times a month, it's only correct up to apr 30 right now (have some time today tho, might fix it later). yahoo doesn't have any handy way of getting the dropped players/dates/times so there's a lot of copy and paste and super annoying text editing.
the tab you want is "keepers2019", and team names are from the draft so if you changed it since you might not see it!
― challops trap house (Will M.), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 16:54 (five years ago) link

i kind of get why same-day adds aren't allowed (though they were in my previous league), but the lack of same-day drops is cramping my style. jake lamb got taken off the DL today but i can't activate him because the player i dropped to make room for him won't leave my lineup until tomorrow. and i also apparently can't do any other transactions because i have a healthy player on the DL.
― na (NA), Friday, 18 May 2018 21:28 (five years ago) link
Yeah, this is annoying. This happened to me twice this week, with Edwin Encarnación and Justin Turner getting activated on a few hours notice before their games. Turner did nothing that night, but Edwin hit one out!

Only the Gallos could post this line and lose 4 points on an off-day. If only Chapman pitched, I could've been -5

well... I've got Machado under 27, so I'll need 27/28 year-old or a young guy that's gonna be better than éloy jimenez (or more likely both). It's gonna have to be an unrefuseable deal at this point, so not a Chris "Sale", more of a Chris "Fair Deal". maybe i'm being premature, but i'm anticipating a sell-off as i don't think this team as it stands will break the top 3.
― francisF, Wednesday, 23 May 2018 17:13 (five years ago) link
i'm delusional and believe that my crippled team still has a shot, but i also assume Max Scherzer will go blind and Jacob DeGrom will tear his elbow ligament while brushing his teeth.

2/30, 2 Runs, 0 HR, 0 RBI, .176 OBP/.100 SLG, 1 XBH, -1 SB

My team has gained about 40 points in the standings in the past month but somehow I don't seem to be getting any closer to the league leaders!
It's about time my team woke up from their comatose funk though.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Monday, 4 June 2018 10:42 (five years ago) link
6 players on the 10 Days DL and one on the 60 Days DL for the Bodak Yellichs of Petite Patrie. Welp.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 4 June 2018 17:07 (five years ago) link
Yeah i’m going to lobby for an extra DL spot next season.
― Van Horn Street, Sunday, 10 June 2018 19:28 (five years ago) link
I would not fight that.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Sunday, 10 June 2018 21:10 (five years ago) link
so I'm officially putting Scherzer and DeGrom on the market in exchange for a good keeper (they're ranked #1 and #7 in pitching btw!!!) Greinke too, but I doubt he's super interesting to anyone. actually the rest of my team probably isn't very interesting beyond the keepers I won't trade.
― omar little, Tuesday, 12 June 2018 16:03 (five years ago) link
regarding NSB:
Is the statistical variable absolute or nah?
I think I might end the season with negative steals...
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 13 June 2018 22:57 (five years ago) link
ugh, despite my solid keepers my season is lost. went in with a bunch of promising options for my 4th/5th slot (mookie/arenado/judge being the big 3)... and they're dropping like flies due to injury or sucking. Alex Reyes, probably Shohei Ohtani, Ken Giles, Rougned Odor... worst part is, now would be when I start dismantling my team for next year, but I don't really have anyone worth offering up. Not looking for for the ol' Trap.
Well anyway if you're making a run for it and anyone not named Aaron, Mookie or Nolan interests you, I could probably stand to upgrade Hosmer & Robles I guess? as my 2019 keepers at each age bracket, so get at me!

When’s the trade deadline again?
On the block: Scherzer, Greinke, DeGrom, Marco Gonzales. A quality rotation could be yours for the right price!
Also: Gattis, Kemp, Franco, Molina...beyond that my offense is keeping me down and I doubt anyone would want any other non-keepers.

hey man i made some wild-ass trades in years past, remember when i gave up bryce harper and won the league?
that said i have 4 sick keepers this year and my team is trash so there's virtually no reason for me to make a trade, but if someone wants one of my non-keepers and they'll put up a 27-29 dude i'm game! i'll also try to update the keeper sheet today if i have some time
(my potential trade bait players: cesar hernandez, starling marte, felipe vazquez, david price, lol this team is terrible)
― challops trap house (Will M.), Friday, 3 August 2018 18:56 (five years ago) link

not this year. previous years have had between 2 and 10
― challops trap house (Will M.), Friday, 3 August 2018 19:18 (five years ago) link
(estimation, i don't have time to check now)

xxxp i remember, helped me win the following yr ;)
