Fantasy baseball 2017

That is a lot to take in. I assume you can keep Bellinger and Conforto if you wish. What about Freeman?

 

Bellinger is a 25th rounder next year, Conforto I think is 18th, so yes on them. I can't keep Freeman or Trout. I could keep Matz in the 7th round and Holland in the 17th, but I doubt I will. That seems too high for Matz, barring a huge second half, and I don't keep relievers.

 

Tough to give up Judge when you can't keep Freeman, but Bellinger should be a useful keeper for you.

 

David Dahl might not return this season; Kyle Freeland remains out of Rockies' rotation

David Dahl might not play at all in the majors this season. Bad for his fantasy owners, but it makes sense for the Rockies. They are crowded in the outfield even without Dahl now that Ian Desmond is back.

 

I don't really believe Black on this one. He's 6-for-17 since returning with a .979 OPS. A team that has lost 15 of 21 will find a way to get a bat like Dahl's in the lineup. Are they seriously going to keep running Carlos Gonzalez and his .214/.293/.328 out there?

 

Rockies GM already walking back Bud Black's comments about Dahl. From Yahoo!:

 

Sounds like Todd Frazier may be traded tonight (Red Sox? Yankees?). He was a healthy scratch.

 

Frazier/Robertson/Kahnle land in NY. Clippard to Chicago. The other guys won't see the Bigs for awhile, if at all.

I'm curious to see how this affects Frazier. His BABIP has been terribly low all season in a league-average hitters' ballpark. He now moves to Yankee Stadium, which is like a top-5 hitter's ballpark, but as a right-hander, he may not enjoy the benefits as much.

It'll also be interesting to see where they slot Robertson in the bullpen. I'm assuming that he's got the seventh inning for now, but Betances and Chapman haven't sharp. If Robertson comes in and pitches lights out, he could supplant one or both of them.

 

I think the trade favors the Yankees, but hurts Robertson's value. Maybe he gets some saves at some point, but I assume Chapman is still the guy right now.

This should help Frazier, just being in a much better lineup.

 

Frazier has been terrible at home but pretty good on the road this year. He's been pretty productive over the last six weeks or so. He had a pretty nasty flu bug he was fighting early in the season that harmed his production.

 

Looking to sell in my keeper league.

Can get Bogaerts for, in essence, Khris Davis and Brendan Rodgers (and Zach Cozart, who picked off the wire about two weeks ago.)

Davis probably doesn't figure in as a keeper for me, but could be a valuable trade chip now or in the offseason for a 4th-5th round pick. Rodgers tore it up in A and has had a slow start to AA ,though that's certainly not a huge cause for concern.

Seems kind of obvious to accept to me, but I always get nervous. Bogaerts isn't hitting as well as he did last season, but is only 24 and is still turning in pretty solid numbers, right? Right?

 

Not sure if this helps, but as a point of reference, a guy just traded Bogaerts for Dee Gordon straight up in one of my leagues.
