For a brief moment a few minutes ago, I was 1st in Quality Starts & last in Wins.

I picked him towards the end of the draft, so it was low risk. I figured I might as well stick him in the NA spot and see if they bring him up this year.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:42 (six years ago) link
Years ago I drafted Strasburg before his debut, hung onto him all season long until he was called up, then kept him all throughout the year he was recovering from TJ surgery. If you've got the roster spot to burn (and NA isn't an active roster spot) and if the upside is high enough then why not?
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Tuesday, 3 April 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link
in my case, because i lack the required patience.
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Tuesday, 3 April 2018 19:21 (six years ago) link
sometimes i get the existential fear, like knowing how Ian Happ will age out of being a keeper just before i turn 50.

I added 3 players (Ohtani batting, Rosario and Panik), I believe it's fine? As in, it's by the rules? I'm still learning as I go.
― Van Horn Street, Saturday, 7 April 2018 04:00 (six years ago) link
yeah add anyone you want -- just know anyone you drop at any point can't be kept next year, and anyone you pick up also cannot be kept next year :)
― challops trap house (Will M.), Saturday, 7 April 2018 13:29 (six years ago) link
cool that i balanced out jakob junis and his six innings (so far) of no-hit pitching with jon gray's 12.6 era and marco gonzalez's 15.43 era
― na (NA), Tuesday, 10 April 2018 02:22 (six years ago) link
Ohtani is the 3rd ranked pitcher and 28th ranked batter. O_O

lmao my entire OF is benched for the day, along with my two available backups also being a) benched and b) DLed.
― omar little, Wednesday, 11 April 2018 21:12 (six years ago) link
when you have players on your fantasy team who are playing against the team you're a fan of that day, do you bench them bc you want them to perform poorly against "your team," or do you play them to mitigate the negative feelings if they do well against "your team"?
― na (NA), Friday, 13 April 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link
i shut down any and all personal feelings. i am an unfeeling, uncaring, relentless fantasy baseball bot when it comes to setting my line-up.

xxp I remain emotionless, I have no control of the outcome anyway, so I might as well play the guys playing against my fav. team. I had two of my fantasy Orioles players against my IRL cherished Blue Jays (I also have two Jays). This was a close to ideal outcome for both The Gallos and The Blue Jays (Jays won 7-1):
Machado .500/.600/1.250, HRSmoak .400/.400/.400Donaldson .250/.400/1.000, Grand Slam
Bundy 7.0 IP, 10K, 2.57 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 5.00 K:BB
Sometimes it works out

3-way tie going into today!
I'm leading the league in Quality Starts and ERA (also second in WHIP). LAST in Wins.

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.
― na (NA), Monday, 7 May 2018 19:17 (six years ago) link
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 (six years ago) link
never thought i'd be worried about how an ERA would be raised

Cano about to go on the DL with a broken metacarpal, Beltre aggravates his hamstring and likely to the DL again.

ugh, Cano...
and now Jorge Soler has a "displaced rib."

is there a keepers spreadsheet for this season?
― na (NA), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 16:33 (six 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!
