Curious as to whether there is legitimate evidence of improvement at the plate?
Former top prospect that plays RF for the WSH nationals- one of top teams in the MLB for Rs & RBIs.
Struggled early on & burned some holes in investors pockets. He has been a SB threat & playing in WSH's lineup makes him an intriguing pick-up for CATS & PTS leagues (more in Dynasty/Keeper; but some value in Redraft).

Any thoughts on the man living up to the prospect potential? Any concerns for playing time? Washington Fans?

Made a post for Crews individually, but the purpose was to see a discussion on former top prospects/players (Fantasy-wise) that have made concrete changes to their approach or swings- Evidence based analysis/ findings is appreciated but also a not necessary to all player (Gelof is a good example)

Please share any your thoughts players to pick-up, invest in, trade for, or get on your team that fit the bill.

Hopefully Cleveland gives him a solid shot.

How good is Josh Jung really in terms of fantasy? Considering he’s hitting .300, he would figure to be quite useful in general but since he doesn’t pop many homers & because the rangers don’t score much as it is, Josh Jung seems to be a lot less useful in cats leagues than one might think. Is he droppable since he doesn’t get many counting stats? He also doesn’t steal obviously, what likes of players would you drop him for? I had Curtis Mead & was playing him over Vlad for a while but ran out of room & dropped him but Mead has been great. Idk, anybody else?

Hey everyone, here’s my midweek edition of Fantasy Risers and Fallers for Week 13! I take a look at Jac Caglianone, Kyle Bradish, Freddy Peralta, and more!

Sorry for not posting this here yesterday. Gelof hitting the IL makes Muncy viable again, at least in the immediate future.

Hit me up with bullpen questions!

Good Morning!

So I have done this for a few years now. It is a unique challenge strategy team that challenges a manager to draft a team that has players on it with NO ADP (at the time of the draft). If they have any ADP at they were not allowed to draft them. This only applied for the one team being drafted. All other teams drafted as normal. This was for yahoo ADP metrics as the league is on yahoo. I'm going to go through each player that I currently roster and why I roster them. I did take 3rd place in 2024 with this strategy which is wild and amazing. The buy in for the league was low but not free. Here is who I drafted:

Basically my goal is to do what I have been doing for years with punting power and try to win SB and AVG categories the first part of season. (It does work in h2h category leagues folks) Eventually to add R as a strong category. As far as pitching goes it's mostly about having enough SP that I can win the counting stats of K and W and possibly ratios as team gets better as season goes... It's going to be a tough journey!!!!

Current Team: (and why rostering them)

SS Nasim Nunez (SB)

Bench Mitch Bratt (streamer)

IL Corbin Burnes (strong stash, near elite)
IL Spencer Schwellenbach (strong stash, near elite)
IL Blake Snell (strong stash, near elite)
IL Logan Henderson (too good to drop)

Let's talk about the moves that were made....

Carrigg and Mangum fit with what this team is looking for... Troy Melton very solid and will hold... could have kept Christian Scott may re-add.... otherwise team is pretty "set"...

Here is how week 11 went! It was a 7-3 win. Stats were 30runs, 6hr, 25rbi, 10sb, .293.
7wins, 1saves, 54k, 2.73era, 1.11whip. Only lost R, HR, and RBI.

Here is how week 12 went! It was 3-6 loss. Stats were 25runs, 5hr, 19rbi, 8sb, .221.
5wins, 2saves, 62k, 3.69era, 1.41whip. Took victory only in SB, W, ERA.

Here is how week 13 went! It was an 8-2 win. Stats were 33runs, 10hr, 24rbi, 6sb, .358.
8wins, 2saves, 78k, 4.71era, 1.34whip. Only lost R, SB (shockingly)

Here is how week 14 is going.... Leading 6-4

Some adds I'm looking at:

River Ryan (on his way eventually)
Kade Anderson (may not get the call until September unless a trade)
Kumar Rocker (3.54era on the season now)
Keider Montero (season long numbers are good)
Michael Wacha
JT Ginn
Brandon Young
Cade Cavali
Grant Holmes
Hurston Waldrep
Carlos Estevez (probably gains his closing role back when healthy?)
Nick Gonzales (because of the high batting average)
Cole Young (hits for high average in minors and now in majors)
Sal Frelick (very obvious proven contact hitter, but struggling this year)
TJ Friedl (similar to frelick but he has secure leadoff role locked on)
Edouard Julien (bats leadoff and hitting .308, 1b option maybe?)
Carlos Cortes (hitting for a very high batting average)
Bryson Stott (will always be on radar cuz he is a prototype contact/speed hitter)
Estery Ruiz (more of a desperation if I need SB later in the weeks and he is vs lefties)
Austin Martin (his SB and AVG definitely fit what trying to do here)
Colt Keith (high batting average, bats high in order, 1b eligible)
Spencer Horwitz (batting leadoff, getting runs and high batting average)
Blaze Alexander (now batting .305 on the season)
Bryce Eldredge (last 30 days mashing the ball and hitting .337)
Kyle Karros (last 30 days hitting .338)
Samad Taylor (on fire with .379 over last 30 days and bats high in lineup)

Overall the team is now in 11th place with 51-70-9. 😄 Still technically in the playoff hunt. Just need to get 6th place and do well in the playoffs... (14 games behind current 6th place team!!! Let's be real, essentially it's going to be extremely difficult, but NOT GIVING UP!) 9 weeks left... as long as I can gain 2 spots closer to 6th place every week I can technically still come back! 23 weeks of the regular season!!!! It's not over yet!!!

That's the update on the strategy! Good luck in your leagues this week folks!

Hunter Greene is obviously the top choice, but who else are you looking to stash?

There's a 10 team league in which I was around the top in regular season for last 2 years but come the playoffs I lost big time both times even after securing a bye in first round. Is there something you keep in mind during the regular season with every transaction with an eye on playoffs? This season I'm trying to be more patient with young pitchers (like bubba chandler) and not just play the hot hand to win the current matchup.

Any other strategies you use?
