Fantasy Baseball 2024 Running Thread

Yes, you can see how my head exploded a little when I saw it. I should have known, though, that it was for the week.

With 12 starts a week, you can certainly still do a lot of streaming. In fact, if I were streaming that many pitchers, I'd question if I had any untouchable guys. Right now, I feel like I have four starters and a closer who I can't waive for any reason, because they'll get gobbled up fast.

 

It depends on the depth of the league. I'm in one 14-team league with 10 active pitching spots (can be starters or relievers) and 12 bench spots. I have 10 starting pitchers and Bobby Miller probably coming off the IL some time in early June. I'm not streaming at all. I'm actually sitting pitchers with questionable matchups so I don't run out of innings too early. I've missed four or five great starts, including Bibee's gem a few days ago. I'm trying to trade one, but no luck so far. I'm not even just trying to trade my fringe guys. I've got every starting pitchers except Jared Jones on the block.

 

You're in a better league than mine, I think. It appears only four of 10 owners take hard looks at roster movement. But I still don't want to give those other three guys a shot at a Paul Skenes or a Ranger Suarez. They're my main competition.

 

Use those 12 starts, shotty!

 

Agreed. I don't think there are leagues thin enough that Skenes or Suarez should be on the wire by now.

 

It's one of the intriguing parts of the genre, that's for sure. I try to be very careful that I don't stream just for the sake of racking up innings. But I try to keep at least one pitching spot fluid. Right now, I think it would be Stroman -- maybe Crochet, too, but he was nails last night. And if I see a free agent and think he has a shot at a quality start, I'll pull the trigger.

 

How many teams are there in your league? In a 10-team league, Stroman is fungible. In a deeper league like my 14-teamer, maybe not.

 

Ok so I received this offer …

Mason Miller ($3)/Semien($21) for Yordan ($12)
/deGrom ($3)

I need help at 2B and have OF depth. I could also use pitching help, which Miller gives me ASAP and beyond.

Thoughts?

 

Who are your other outfielders?

 

Soto, Tucker, Tatis, Suzuki

 

Yeah, you’re fine. Make the deal.

 

Since last night, I also received the following offer:
Carroll ($5)
Houck ($1)

for

Tatis ($18)
Alvarez ($12)
