Joined some random fantasy league. Kinda wish I had folks to do it with and for money but I know for sure this will make me aware of everything.

I have no clue what to think of my team but here it is.

C - W. Contreras ( not bad but not great)
1B - P. Goldschmidt ( Goldie should get you some nice points in your league)
2B - J. Baez ( low key sleeper I think it's a nice pick)
3B - N. Castellanos ( try to finnese him off your team)
SS - C. Seager ( your second best player)
OF - B. Harper ( your best player)
OF - Y. Cespedes ( another good player)
OF - A Pollock ( your outfield is pretty damn good Pollock ain't too bad )
Util - Y. Moncada ( If he break out this year he gonna be amazing)
Util - B. Belt ( not bad get you some RBI)
BN - M. Conforto ( nice little power bar)
BN - M. Franco 3B ( get you some RBI should have a decent year)
SP - J. deGrom ( your best pitcher)
SP - Z. Greinke( usually is good, but ehhhhh he getting kinda iffy)
RP - B. Morrow ( ehhhhh)
RP - B. Brach ( decent)
P - J. Paxton ( second best pitcher low-key the new Ace of Seattle)
P - G. Richards( coming off injury but he is good)
P - A. Sanchez ( nah bruh )
P - C. Anderson ( if he pitch like he did last year should be good brew crew got a nice team)
BN - J. Faria ( don't sleep on him he from the Jay's? He's nice)
BN - B. Parker RP
BN - L. Lynn

Good looks. Definitely gonna take what you said to improve the team. Just joined a random one at the last minute.

I wish Yankee tickets were cheaper

Is Shohei Ohtani really that terrible at batting? Scouts are saying he’s a bust at the plate. I say it’s far too early.

He had a bad spring. Yeah he was bad at hitting,but they need him to get better at pitching too cause that's what he really there for. Breh only like 23 he'll be alright

You really got a good team,but you always gonna have a few bad players in these fantasy leagues feel me?

Why is Pollock starting over Conforto?


Moncada sucks
Franco sucks
Belt is underwhelming

I wonder what the FA pool in your league looks like.

Edit - I see the Mets put Conforto on the DL to start the season.

Off top, pick up Kingery.

It remains to be seen if he can hit ML pitching once it matters but his ceiling could be better than Baez. I would drop Moncada for him.

Keep Baez for now. But Moncada just isn’t that good. Too many ground balls and a 30% K rate. Yeah Moncada might hit 25 homers but he’ll bat .230 so who cares?

Keep an eye on Kepler. He’s not a star but he’s solid.

 

[Regular_P]

If your league counts Ks like mine does, high strikeout guys will murder you unless they have a decent average and hit a lot of HRs/drive in a lot of runs.

 

[Remote]

also, monitor how David Dahl does at AAA.

If he’s finally healthy he’s going to come back and take over Parra/Gonzalez OF spot.

Any pitchers I'm sleeping on?

Any pitchers I'm sleeping on?

Not really.

Maybe Pomeranz but I think Chase Anderson could be on his level. Only thing is Pomeranz may win more games because of his roster but I don’t know how much of a difference there will be otherwise.
