Baseball MLB.. Batter Up!!

[Electrum1]

I got Skubal and Skenes

I picked Elly for my 1st pick and didn't get him, so I guess I drafted 8th or 9th or something but haven't looked yet

The brewers sure surprised me last season.

 

[Electrum1]

I drafted 9 SP's. Ridiculous

So what do I do?

Mal won the shohei raffle. And my nephew got elly.

Does he want Skenes?

Just start your best players and watch how many points you have in each category after a week or two like 2B, HR, SB, Saves and so on, so you know which categories you need to focus on. The most points you can have in each category is 9

And how do I know if I have a good player at each position or if they need replaced

Just look at their stats last year by clicking their name. I don't like my 2B guy but he got 30SB last year and I don't have Elly this year so I gotta keep him for now. Things like that

If you have any guys that are IL or NA put them into an IL or NA slot so you can add another player or two

And what are the days that you typically want to be making changes throughout the week?

Every day check to see which SP's have a green check that means they're pitching that day and decide if you want to start or bench them for that matchup. Sometimes I search "Aaron Nola vs Dodgers" or whoever to see what their history against certain teams is, same for split stats like Home vs Away

Your batters, just see who they're batting against and if they suck against lefties or whatever then bench them. It'll say that for most batters matchups in the yahoo description under their name but sometimes the numbers are wrong

I’m advising my nephew to keep elly for purposes of stolen bases.

 

[Electrum1]

Hopefully he bats .190 for the month of April so I can offer a trade that is difficult to refuse

 

[Electrum1]

He had a great preseason. I should look to see if my graded Elly cards are worth more

 

[Electrum1]

Just a few more hours until I start hating SP's again

Didn’t realize this thread has nearly 5k posts.

Fire up a new one in the Lounge

 

[Electrum1]

I'm starting a guy that I don't think even played in triple A

True story. The Houston astros lost to their AAA affiliate in a preseason game
