Big pickup by An Old Friend right before he blew up...

And how about the foresight to pickup Joey Bart 24 hours before Gabriel Moreno tears his groin?! LOL... a little lucky on that one, although sucks to lose Moreno. He was hitting .326 in the second half coming into tonight.

3 runs on 6 hits through 3.0 IP w/ zero Ks. Terrible pitcher.

You might want a catcher. Realmuto is available.

Realmuto is unplayable right now.

Flyer on an upside young bat with every day playing time. Short term fill in.

I could use a better 2B option but I think it might be the shallowest position in fantasy this year.

Interesting… he’s 5-52 (.096/.346) in the last month. Realmuto has as many hits in the last week, w/ two days off

Agree 2B is thin this year, when Garcia Jr. is top-5…

And it’s a fair callout on VargASS for sure. I only have him hoping to get lucky since he gets an everyday chance to play, that’s all. He’s sucked so far, him and Marte.

I have Betts on my other two teams and was playing him at 2B in one (now rotating David Hamilton / Horowitz) but OF in the other cause I have Altuve.

15 teamer is going to cause some real gaps when there’s such positional scarcity so I’ve been ok living with it, here.

Horowitz is a dead Russian pianist… you might have better luck with Spencer Horwitz.

You must have had top-4 overall picks in all three leagues, or was Betts a keeper in one?

Surprised that some teams sitting in the high 20s or low 30s don't see a potential to make a strong pts. move up the board before the end of the year. Only 11 saves right now between 10 pts. (QV with 40 SVs) and 3 pts. (sdaltons with 29 SVs).

mattmitchl44 wrote: ↑10 Aug 2024 06:20 am In retrospect, this trade back on June 16 might have been the crappiest ever (with stats from 6/16 to now):

Jose Berrios (5 wins, 3 QS, 47 K, 5.56 ERA, 1.38 WHIP)
James McArthur (6 SV, 9 K, 5.19 ERA, 1.39 WHIP)

Nestor Cortes (2 wins, 3 QS, 44 K, 5.98 ERA, 1.44 WHIP)
Lane Thomas (.242 AVG, .711 OPS, 26 runs, 18 RBI, 12 SB, 2 HR)

Whatashame - 149.5
An Old Friend - 142.5
Quincy Varnish - 115.5
Jeffy25 - 104.5
MattMitchell44 - 104
Cool Papa Con - 103.5
DJ Davis - 97
Booooyah - 95.5
Barking Lion - 93
imadamnman - 90
ggnoobs - 76
SamTheMan - 75
Dazepster - 68.5
Cardsrmyteam - 66.5 (took over for absentee manager Cardinals4Life)
sdaltons - 59

Quincy has a massive lead in total moves made with 189. Next up is Jeffy with 77 and Whatashame/MattMitchell tied at 68. sdaltons has made the least moves with 10... likely why he finds himself at the bottom of the standings.

For the most part it has been a fun, good, very active lead.
