Resident A-hole

Today was the first time he's ever gone 7 innings. Hopefully they'll let him go deeper in the future when the pitch count is low.

They better, it's #7-9 coming up in the 8th.

I wouldn't bother. I do think he's broken, he had an entire offseason to work on the issues he had in 2020, and looks like he changed nothing . There's surely better upside options on your WW. I dropped Paddack almost 2 weeks ago in my league & he's still sitting there.

I'm not. I need to see a semi-strong start first. I fear there's chance he only goes 4 innings in his first start, I have enough good options to not risk it yet.

I'd gladly drop Cron for Votto, probably Vaughn too.

Cronenworth is among the best in the league in contact skills, but the lack of power is a bit of a downer. Batting in the top-3 in that offense is a huge boost in runs so hopefully he doesn't settle in at #6. I've been starting him all year at 2B, and he's been solid.

He's hitting some dingers, but the rest of the lineup has been so awful, solo HRs is about the only way Bryant will get points.

yep

CBS does, but they're a crap shoot. They have crazy projections for certain guys like 32 HR rest of season, but they've never approached 25 in a season before.

I'd drop McCullers for Rogers. The guy looks legit & could be really good, we already know what McCullers is. That's a chance I'd be willing to take.

I'm suffering with both of these guys as well. I'm much more confident in Arozarena than Teoscar. At least Arozarena is hitting singles...

You can't trade Lynn with that pitching staff, without him your staff would be terrible. I agree you need help at 2B, but trade from whatever position you're strongest in.

Yeah, I'd trade a guy I picked up off the WW for Lamet. Who know's how he'll look when he comes back, but even if he's 85% of last year, that's the upside I'd want.

Happ is a nice player, but the Cubs are looking like a bottom-5 offense. I don't think he's anything more than a 5th OF at this point, and I'm a Cubs fan.

I'd rather have Haniger. McMahon has played every one of his games so far at Coors, I fear he may be fool's gold.
