CT Fantasy Baseball - Interested?

Who has TO?

I think Fantasy Pros graded my draft pretty poorly so they must be quite confounded to see me atop the standings right now.

You’re currently 6th in the “power rankings”… I’m 10th, lol.

Power rankings?? I haven’t seen this…

Update - you’ve graduated to 5th in Fantasy Pro’s power rankings. I’ve moved up to 9th!

Twelfth place Matt, as always, remains in first by a considerable margin.

I low-key love these power rankings.

I was starting to get frustrated with Bryson Stott and happy I rode that one out, he’s been on an absolute tear. Looking like a home run in the 8th round. Him and Naylor back to back at 117 and 124 are huge overperformers. Fantasy pros can suck it! lol

Yeah, it is basically still saying that my entire roster (almost) is way underachieving to this point.

How do you feel about a “power rankings” model that would rank a team 1st when that team is currently in 13th place in a 15 team league?

It’s kind of an odd name… projection ranking??

Other than Acuna, it doesn’t seem like anyone in your lineup… aside from Gleyber, maybe… should be expected to perform markedly better than they are. Who does the model expect more out of?

Hehe… too bad you can’t ’sell high’ w/ Stott, cause ain’t nobody buyin’ that. Always liked his bat, but he’s basically a slap hitter w/ good wheels. #44 overall now? Like you needed more luck!

Orioles moved Westburg to the leadoff spot today. Could do a lot for his value, but I’m not sure if his mustache is right for it.

Well… I expected a jump from Stott and he’s showing it. He smoked high-A and AA & mostly skipped AAA. But I think he’s a top 5 performer over last couple of weeks so that’s obviously been a nice surprise.

Gleyber, Reynolds and Hader for sure. Suzuki has barely played. He just traded Seager, but he was terrible. Valdez hasn’t done anything meaningful for him yet. I don’t see how FP is constantly projecting him as #1, but IMO Matt’s roster is better than 12th of 13th…

I could use a pleasant surprise or two… guess you could say Jones & Westburg have played above projections, but none of that has surprised me.

Josh Lowe was my secret weapon last year, but guys like him aren’t even floating on waivers in this league… why I keep trading for more certainty.

Walk-off 2-run HR for Rutschman off Romano

You don’t have either of them!

Bichette is finally hitting… have him in another league. Now that he’s showing signs of life - I’m trading him, of course . Bichette + Yates for Adolis Garcia… but I’ll be “stuck” with Caballero at SS for now.

I have Caballero in my points league. I think he’s “must start” in both H2H points and Roto.

I actually tried to trade for Garcia in that league, offered a dude Teoscar and Jordan Hicks. He just sat on it. He’s kind of a dumb[ash] for not taking it.

Maybe… I think Hicks will fade as the innings pile up. Teoscar - he’s absolutely crushing right now, esp LHP, but I wouldn’t expect him to stay top-25. I’d be selling high on both of them, particularly Teoscar.

Love Caballero, and I should probably stick w/ him since I’m low on SB. Eventually I’ll need more HR/RBI in that slot.

Another ridiculous day for your pitching staff, I see

18.2 IP with 24 K, 0.96 ERA / 1.07 WHIP from some of your favorite starters... Brandon Pfaadt, Garret Crochet, and Tanner Houck... the train keeps rolling.

Teoscar felt pretty undervalued coming into the season as a nearly sure bet to go 30+ HR and 100+ RBI in that Dodgers lineup. So is he going to maintain his 40 HR / 130 RBI pace? Yeah, probably not... but he's kind of found money with a high floor.

Who would you target with Teoscar? Right now he's the 4th ranked OF in that league:
1 - Betts 948 pts
2 - Tucker 844
3 - Soto 830
4 - Teoscar 749
5 - Tatis Jr 710

I don't think the guy with Yordan is ready to part with him. I'm not sure I see a compelling case to move off of Teoscar. Positionally I'm pretty strong with:
C 3 - Jeffers
1B 1 - Naylor
1B 6 - Harper (could move up to 3 tonight after a 60 point day)
3B 3 - Ramirez
OF 1 - Betts
OF 4 - Teoscar

I'm kind of weak at 2B with Julien / Caballero and SS with Caballero... but Betts is also #1 at both of those positions so I can kind of play him anywhere I need to on a weekly basis. I have Springer sucking a s s and Conforto on the IL right now, so Betts is in the OF. It's a 4 OF / 2 UTIL league so having Teoscar feels like a winner to me.

Rolling w/ Teoscar wouldn’t be a bad idea… but from what you’re describing, it might be smart to shift that offense to 2B/SS if possible. Maybe look around the league and see if someone’s doubled up there. And yeah… Yordan’s more of a sure thing, but it sounds like the price could be too high.

It also depends on how your overall offense might look w/o him. If your pitching is similar to the staff you have in our league, I’d look to add a reliable SP on a good team. Maybe someone like Fried, and you could also get a decent replacement OF back.

I don’t do ‘points’ leagues, but it must be easier when you don’t need to stress about being too heavy on pitching or offense?

Well... there are a lot of different strategies. I typically try to fill the lineup early and pitching after. You want guys who stack innings because every out generates points. I THINK I'm good at identifying undervalued arms and have had some luck there in that league which is good because I lost Bieber and Gausman hasn't been good.

So you're probably right in that my highest value target should be a reliable SP... I have:
Gallen
Gausman
Darvish

Those guys along with Bieber are who I filled at the top, then looked for guys I thought weren't high enough on radars, ended up with:
Kutter Crawford: 2-2, 2.24 ERA / 1.11 WHIP in 52 IP... that's been a win
Jordan Hicks: win
Jake Irvin: 2-3, 3.55 ERA / 1.09 WHIP in 45 IP... win

And then filler guys... Gibson, Cecconi, Bello, Garrett... just looking for innings / double start weeks / matchups

So far so good, but yeah, another arm would be a good idea.

If the scoring is similar to how Yahoo works their daily fantasy… I can completely understand not prioritizing the ‘W’, b/c they only count as 4 pts - basically the same as two Ks, so it’s nearly irrelevant. K/9 and IP are basically everything, so having guys like Fedde & Crochet is better than say Tyler Anderson a couple of years ago.

The only ‘points’ leagues I’ve been in were in the late-1990s - Sporting News had some you could play on the new fangled internet, OR via touch tone phone . Kent Bottenfield was the bomb in ‘99, b/c wins counted as 10 points… before the world knew better.

I don't gather many folks that post here play fantasy baseball but wanted to get a feeler out for a league... Quincy and I have been talking about putting one together.

I know it's not for everyone. I've played for about 25 years and have two long-standing leagues running. We'd be looking probably for a 10-12 teamer pretty standard roto format through Yahoo.

If you're not interested in the league but want to chat fantasy strategy / keepers / draft prep, have at it.

I've been playing fantasy baseball since 1986.. even designed my own scoring chart we all had to use by hand with the old newspaper and calculator ..(oh the exciting days of running to the store at 4 AM to grab the sports section to write down the daily stats by hand ) I do Yahoo Fantasy baseball now and love it (in 11 leagues (some high dollar ones) I'd be interested but my only concern would be dominating the league so much that everyone else quits.

Well…
1. You’re a little late
2. That’s some bravado for being awfully late, conveniently so… so that you wouldn’t have to actually back it up

I never did that many teams in a year, too much to track and you’re just less vested in righting an underperforming roster.

But maybe next year you’ll respond in less than 2 months and you can be considered to replace any dropouts!

just pm me if you ever want to witness domination... i understand though if you don't cause often when I'm in these leagues half the people become discouraged and quit cause I just have all the good players.if you ever need pickup advice shoot me a pm with a screenshot of your roster and I'll help... I only charge 5 dollars per FA move transaction advice.

Wow, you sound like a total bad a s s, I wish we were friends but I'm probably not cool enough to even step in the same room with you. Congrats at being so dominating.

I won't PM you, it'll just make me feel worse about myself. I'd rather lose on my own.

I see my month-long slide from 1st to 12th is continuing. I guess per Yahoo's "ranking" for the last 30 days, my main guys from the draft have gone:

Acuna - 219th for the last month (pre-season 1st, drafted 1st)
Seager - 539th (pre-season 24th, drafted 30th, traded)
Henderson - 41st (pre-season 25th, drafted 31st) - one guy performing to his preseason expectation and draft position for the last month
Peralta - 282nd (pre-season 46th, drafted 60th)
Hader - 90th (pre-season 59th, drafted 61st) - reasonably performing to his preseason expectation and draft position for the last month
Torres - 559th (pre-season 73rd, drafted 90th)
Reynolds - 416th (pre-season 61st, drafted 91st)
Fairbanks - 537th (pre-season 169th, drafted 120th) - injured for some of the last month
Suzuki - 674th (pre-season 103rd, drafted 121st) - injured for some of the last month
Pasquantino - 291st (pre-season 107th, drafted 150th)
Kelly - 1943rd (pre-season 202nd, drafted 151st) - injured
Berrios - 265th (pre-season 184th, drafted 180th) - reasonably performing to his preseason expectation and draft position for the last month
Brown - 651st (pre-season 199th, drafted 181st)
Rodriguez - 1654th (pre-season 353rd, drafted 210th) - injured
O'Hoppe - 718th (pre-season 205th, drafted 211th)
Gurriel - 960th (pre-season 173rd, drafted 240th)
O'Neill - 386th (pre-season 114th, drafted 241st)
Chapman - 731st (pre-season 190th, drafted 270th, released)
Maeda - 686th (pre-season 274th, drafted 271st, released)
Olsen - 50th (pre-season 350th, drafted 300th, released) - clearly a major mistake to let him go LOL
Allen - 669th (pre-season 355th, drafted 301st)

But hey… look on the bright side. Your 23rd round pick (Max Kepler, #331 - you dropped him) was just traded with Seth Lugo (also 23rd, #337) for 1st round, #6 overall Corbin Carroll.

Whatashame definitely has a stranglehold on the buy low/sell high award for that one… and he couldn’t have done it without you!
