Hit me up I have a ton of pitchers and ton of under performing hitters. See if we have a match for anyone. Of course sometimes I hate those early morning Wednesday starts as I think I missed a couple of pithcers in both my fantasy leagues today. They probably throw GC shutouts.
My pitching staff now contains a Taylor Rogers, Tyler Rogers, and Trevor Rogers.
A quick google tells me 2 of them are twins. And one is a Twin.

FYI to the rest of the league. I dealt Justin Turner to yt for Raisel Iglesias.
Hopefully Iglesias pitches better for your team than mine and Turner continues to hit for me!
This is a week for multi HR games. Yesterday Guerrero, Lowe, McMahon, & Winker did it, and a couple days ago Arozarena and Mancini did it. I didn’t search the week, just happened to notice these.
Thought I was going to hold off EC for wins but see he got his 2nd closer win of the day with Kimbrel. Oh well can’t complain too much about a 7-2-1 week against the 2nd place team.
I had a lot of OF hurt in the last few weeks so I had to add some. Now that I have guys coming back from injury, I’d like to deal an OF for an SP of comparable value. I’m going to start with an offer to a team that has a weak OF3 (Yastremski is his OF3, Grisham OF2). I think I can offer him an upgrade there if he is willing to deal a SP of comparable value.
In a weekly HTH points league, which OF are you taking for which SP below? Note I struck through a few names that I don’t think should be included but I am willing to listen if you think they should be. I don’t want to deal Bellinger, and I doubt he’d deal Woodruff or Kershaw for him anyway. Mullins has minimal trade value in this league IMO; he’s just a spot starter for me this week.
My OF:
Bellinger
Conforto
S Marte
Arozarena
Mancini
Mullins
His SP:
Woodruff
Kershaw
Strasburg
Gausman
T Rogers
Matz
Cease
Kikuchi
Cueto
Was thinking about opening with Marte for T Rogers. The guy is a Mets homer, so I thought about offering Conforto for Gausman.
My pitching staff is actually now spreading out. I was having weeks where I would have 15-16 starts and then following week 7-8. I think they will now normalize in the 10-11 range. My hitters are going hot cold weeks too. They seem to perform better against the bottom clubs and off when I play the better teams. I definitely have a high variance team right now. The 3 pt. differential this week was the closest contest of year.
Before I got to the bottom of your post, I was thinking Marte for Rogers. I would never take Gausman.

I agree with Kid Rock I’d ask for Marte or Arozarena for Rogers but I don’t know what scoring system you have.
On a separate note at what point do I cut bait with Luis Castillo in my roto league, what a clusterfuck he’s been this year after B2B solid fantasy season.
Thanks all. Offered S Marte for Rogers. His OF2 Grisham just hit the DL so the timing may be right.
I also own Castillo, which is partly motivating me to add SP
My offer sat out there for over 2 days with no comment, so I pulled it and proposed a trade with someone else. The next day Guy #1 offers me Rogers for Bellinger, saying something to the effect that Rogers is a top 20 player in points. I politely and quickly decline, stating I’m looking to deal any OF other than Bellinger for a SP as I have more OF than I want to carry. He then made a second low offer for Bellinger.
I hate it when people don’t respond to trade offers in a timely fashion, and when people aren’t listening to you. If you aren’t interested or we aren’t a match, no problem. Quickly decline and move on. There is one guy in this league I won’t trade with, and this guy may now get on the list too.
My next offer to Guy #2 was S Marte for Taillon. I thought this offer was to his advantage, but he flat declined without comment which is fine by me. He has Trout on IR and I think Marte would have been an OF3 upgrade for him (he’s starting Gallo now, and Brantley at OF2 is decent but not great).
Now debating an offer to Guy #3. He’s got Biggio on IR, and is starting Edman and Wil Myers. Debating Marte for Ian Anderson, Alcantara, or Pineda. I’m thinking Pineda might be the only one he will consider.
Well, the K’s could be a problem this week with Bieber hitting the IL. 130K’s in 90 innings tough to replace.
My pitching has been garbage the last few weeks as I’ve watched you catch up and pass me for first place so I’m not too upset about you losing Bieber
I’ll entertain fire sale trades for next year…
Upon further review my fire sale is on hold, thought I was farther out of the playoff race. So I’ll hold off for a bit but in the interest of getting some discussion going @TheArbitrary how do pick trade work if we use Yahoo on line draft again next year? Just want to make sure it’s viable if I (or someone else) does actually go into fire sale mode and trade some pick slots.
How the F does Ultimate have an ERA over 7, WHIP over 1.6 but 4 Wins!?
