Sports fantasy leagues. He's gotten off to a tremendous start, hitting. However, Encarnacion has never hit over. He's also hit. Trade him while he's hot. Cody Ross is a streaky player. He showed that with the San Francisco Giants in , but he also showed with the Giants in that he's not a consistent player.
He hit. Part of what makes Upton so valuable is his eligibility at second base, so you want to keep him there. See if you can swing Cano for an even better outfielder or a player at another position of need. Any thoughts? OK, I'll try to bring a little more sophistication to my answer. Hall has an average of. He does have six home runs, sure, but considering he hit only 14 last year and was never much of a power prospect to begin with -- forget that fluky homer -- I can't believe he'll maintain his current pace.
Kotchman, on the other hand, has fantastic plate discipline with four walks and five strikeouts. He hit. At age 25, we might be witnessing his power breakout this season, considering he already has four home runs. So yeah, drop Hall for Kotchman and don't give it a second thought. I drafted Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum , both of whom have starting pitcher and relief pitcher eligibility. So in my lineup, I decided to use Marcum as a relief pitcher.
Some league members cried foul, saying a starter shouldn't be allowed to function as a reliever there is nothing in our by-laws, but I'm thinking they will want to change that next year.
I purposely drafted those guys for that purpose. If all league members know this option is available to them, is their complaint legit or is it sour grapes? SW: In most scoring systems, even an average starting pitcher outscores a closer over the course of a season, so I can understand your leaguemates' dissatisfaction.
However, if in the league constitution, they allowed certain pitchers to have dual eligibility, they can't penalize you now just because you were perceptive enough to take advantage.
My oldest league actually had this same argument a few years back, and my leaguemates and I ultimately decided to use pitchers only in their real-life roles, regardless of Fantasy eligibility. But we waited until the offseason to implement such a change, and your league has to do the same.
You can't change the rules in the middle of the game -- that's practically kindergarten etiquette. I was thinking about picking up Yovani Gallardo , but I'd have to drop a pitcher in return. Is it worth taking a chance on him, or should I just keep who I have?
SW: I'd dump Martinez for Gallardo in a heartbeat. Look, Gallardo pitched like an ace last year as a year-old rookie. In fact, if you remove a dreadful six-start August, he went with a 2. He strikes out a batter per inning and might end up your second-best pitcher this season behind Santana.
Martinez, on the other hand -- I don't want to call him dead, but with his decreased velocity, he's nothing more than a back-of-the-rotation type in Fantasy, not to mention his hamstring injury will keep him out until June.
Easy call here. I'm in a deep team league and am doing pretty well offensively but am really struggling with pitching ERA, WHIP and wins in particular. I have both Derrek Lee and Conor Jackson , and although both are doing fantastic, I feel Jackson might end up posting better numbers by season's end.
The Yankees added two more World Series wins in a row with Jeter at the heart of the three-peat that lasted through In , Jeter made another amazing play chasing down a Trot Nixon pop fly and hurtling headlong into the stands behind third base at Yankee Stadium. He landed two rows deep and still managed to hold on for the catch. Jeter never had the pure tools of some of the best players of his era, but he always worked hard, played smart and gave maximum effort.
Jeter was a free agent following the season and almost left the Yankees. New York wisely brought back the then year old, though, so that he could finish his career with four more years in the Bronx. One of the most memorable moments from his final few seasons with the Yankees was his 3,th career hit, which came on July 9, Puason, and N.
Mozara for Jacob Degrom! Why is Meadows ranked higher than Kepler and Muncy? Trying to decide which one is my last keeper. Other then speed whats makes Tatis Jr or Soto better than Vlad in Dynasty league since the start of last year i feel what i have heard Vlad has the best bat and he will compete for Batting titles in years to comes.
Soto and Tatis also have very special bats and Soto can be close to or maybe an even better all-around bat than Vlad and provides a little speed. Hi Eric, thanks for the list. Surely will help me to define my keepers for next year. Thanks for your help. Raimel Tapia only 25 and hitting. He barely missed. Very easily could be a 4th OF for them. What are your thoughts on Ketel Marte? I traded Gary Sanchez for Ketel Marte in my dynasty league.
Love Gary but I feel like Ketel has longer upside because of the demanding position catcher has on a body. I mostly buy into Ketel, but not at a top level. Still a top guy overall though moving forward. Hi Eric — could you please give an opinion on a trade? I play in a 14 team dynasty league on Fantrax, we often use your rankings to evaluate trades.
Recently, a contending team traded Isan Diaz you ranked as and Orelvis Martinez unranked to a rebuilding team for Miguel Sano Some people in the league consider this trade one-sided and worthy of a veto.
Do you think this trade should be vetoed or allowed through? Thanks so much for this valuable resource. First instinct is to go with Fraley, but why has Lewis fallen so low? Is there a chance he becomes better than Fraley in the bigs?
Or am I complicating things too much and I should just trust the list? Thank you for reading and happy to help! I would go Fraley there. The problem with Lewis is consistency with the hit tool for me.
The last 5 starts look more like the first half regressed for the mean since he was an ace in the first half. So i am looking for guys who may be undervalued now, that will jump when people re-evaluate how their season went in the offseason. Means looks like a good example- we have a good first half- 1. I assume one of them I suspect the higher ranked on is a catcher for the Dodgers. Thanks, yeah there was a slight glitch with the data I converted over.
Should be all fixed now. Thanks for reading! I have multiple people trying to acquire Franco from me in the from of picks. Would you trade him at all?? How many first rounders would it take? Just starting to draft for my first ever Dynasty League. How early would you look to draft Franco? What are your thoughts on Sam Hilliard in dynasty format? Between Wong and Odor, I have them only three spots apart.
How about Spencer Howard unless I missed him he was left off your the Phillies are high on him and many project him to debut in crazyhorse. What about them? Heyward, sure, he could make the list, but only in the back-end. Plus hit tool and speed, sound plate approach, and enough power to get into the HR range. All he needs is a chance to start regularly.
His September production hints at. Agree to disagree on the power. I am curious your thoughts on Dominic Smith and Domingo Santana.
Domingo was looking great until a major slump after his injury this year. Dominic seems to just need a starting opportunity. If both had a guaranteed starting opportunity, would they rank higher? They would, especially Santana. Trying to rebuild pithing depth in my minors. Deep Fantasy 20 team lots of guys on rosters outside of this list. Pache and Hays in CF pipeline.
Pitchers of note: B. McKay, Teheran, Rodriguez, M. Wacha, T. Mahle, M. Keller, and B. Wonder how you feel about selling out for pitching prospects? Gap between J. Polanco and T. Turner is sizable when Turner plays a full season. What are your thoughts about further development from J. Polanco and the trade overall? Turner SS L. Taveras CF M. Moniak CF A. Alzolay SP J. Loaisiga RP. Polanco SS S. Reid-Foley SP M. Libertore SP A.
Medina SP E. Hankins SP. Dynasty type league keep 35, draft 15 rounds, with a limit of 10 adds in the year. Having a bit of trouble with the last 5 keepers. What do you think? Thought maybe I should let you know, if I declared today, I was dropping Ramos, Urias, and Upton, so basically im asking if im over valueing the pitchers because of my situation. Valera has the highest upside overall with the potential to be a top prospect in Jackson has nice power, but I question the AVG.
Who is the most mlb ready of these: Lodolo, Rutledge, Espino, Manoah? Most MLB-ready is Lodolo. That said, no Hudson Head? As high as you have been in him in other places, and where you have him ranked there compared to guys that show up on this list, that surprises me.
Any input would be helpful. Hey Eric! As always, thanks for the great work! Is it worth the risk to take on Correa? How high would Ohtani be on your list if this were a daily league where he can be used as a pitcher and hitter? Thanks for putting this together!
I guess it might be easier to lay out my options and list who I am keeping. Am I making any mistakes? Narvaez 1b — H. Anything else I might be missing would also be appreciated. Thanks again! Absolutely do. Severino still has immense upside.
