Welcome to the fantasy baseball today podcast from CBS Sports. Got a fantasy question? Email fantasy baseball at cbsi.com. Get ready to win your league. Well, fantasy. Now here's Adam, Scott Heath and Chris. Well, Eddie Rosario hit three home runs on Sunday. And I still beat Scott White's team, which of course had Eddie Rosario.

I don't usually brag, but I'm feeling good right now. I had a big win in that podcast league. And Heath is on the show today. And Scott, I'm going to let you join in now. We scammed him last week. A beat, a 7-3 beat down, baby. It's a very good showing for you in both of the podcast league. Me, not so much.

I'm more disappointed in the loss in the original podcast league to you. I don't blame you. I was crushing you. I don't blame him. It was tough. I thought it was oak. I didn't even bother to check all day. I know.

It was tough for me because I needed to root for the Red Sox to beat up Charlie Morton to get the win. And I put fantasy before reality. Heath, how you doing? Good morning. Sorry about scamming you. I didn't even notice. Yes, sure. I've sent the weekend in the Keys.

I come back and see that we're still way ahead of you in the standings. Anything can happen over one week. Your team's awful. You're living in the past, buddy. All right. Welcome to Week 11. Week 10. week 11, depending on how you've done it.

Guys, it's not early anymore. I think it's something that kind of dawned on me. Especially if you have playoffs and you start in week 20 or week 21 or something like that. I mean, you've got to make your move now, guys, if you're struggling. So we're going to help people out. We're going to talk about who we added and dropped. We're going to do a little trade talk today. Recap the weekend, the most added list, two-star pitchers.

Scott, why don't you give me a weekend standout? Weekend stand out. let's start with Eddie Rosario, right? The guy who three home runs weren't enough to stave off your surging comeback. Three home runs. And I don't think there's any reason to doubt his greatness anymore. Last 365 days, Chris dropped this stat for Jose Ramirez. The end of last week, I think it's a useful stat I'm going to drop a few times for other players today.

for Eddie Rosario, last surrender 65 days, 309 batting average, 35 home runs, 40 doubles, 103 RBI, and even 13 stolen bases, just for good measure. He's really good. He is, but he does it in such a frustrating way. He's a roller coaster. He's had two unbelievable weeks with combined 102 fantasy points in two weeks. He's had a 23-point week, and, well, the rest have been kind of bad. So does that bother you? He doesn't walk.

He doesn't walk. So in points leagues, that's, you know, and not every hitter is going to hit his over 300 every week, right? Sure. So when he doesn't, and there's no walks to kind of fill in the gaps, those 12 to 15 point weeks for somebody like Carlos Santana become like a 6 or 7 point week for somebody like Eddie Rosario. and that's a little frustrating. Yeah. But at the same time, good is good. All right, well, he's a top 10 outfielder right now.

He's ninth in points and fifth in Roto. Heath, give me a weekend standout. There are a lot of guys that I want to talk about, but let's talk about Matt Olson, who I know a lot of people were saying he's got positive regression coming. It was amazing how low his home run total was. Looking at his batted ball profile, well, he hit three of them over the weekend,

drove in eight runs against the Royals. over the last 365 days, he's still only played 130 games, but he has 36 home runs. He's on a 45 homer pace. I believe it. Who is this? Yeah. Matt Olson.

Matt Olson's played that many games. I thought he was at like 120. That's why I got confused. Because... Yeah, he may be at one... Yeah, he is at 119. Well, that's fine, but you know... He has 36 home runs in 119 games.

It's been better than I said. And we can compare last year. to this year for Matt Olson because he's played basically the same amount of games. He played 60 last year or 59 this year. Actually, flip it. 59 last year, 60 this year. So here are the comparisons. 248 this year, 259 last year. 12 homers this year, 24 homers last year.

He does have 10 more doubles in 60 games this year compared only two doubles last year. He has 12 this year. Walk to strikeout ratio is very, very similar. The RBIs are way down, 29 this year, 45 last year. Yeah, Heath, we kind of talked about. him on the Thursday show, the Bilo Selle High show, and he was crushing the ball, so

good stuff for Matt Olson. I guess that means... He's still crushing the ball. This time he got the good results. You know, you just go to Kansas City, a little more friendly hitters park to get your home run totals right. So how is the key? Yeah, that's what it's known for. Kansas City, hitter friendly. How was the keys, Heath?

They were fantastic. Went to Bejia Honda, one of my favorite state parks in the state of Florida. Went all the way down to Key West and walked around for a few hours. I went to the Florida Keys Brewing Company. It was wonderful. Good.

I hope you're refreshed. I want to talk about Carlos Carrasco. He did not have a nice little weekend vacation in the Keys. He's got a 450 ERA now. I gave up six earn runs on seven hits and three and two thirds at the Twins on Friday. And 73 strikeout in the 76 innings. 11 home runs already allowed for Carlos Carrasco. This is two terrible starts in a row.

The three starts before this two. terrible start stretch for Carasco. Pretty good. Ateran runs over 23 and a third with 24 strikeouts, four blocks. I don't know, guys. I'm not not concerned about Carlos Carasco. How about you? Not, not concerned.

Yeah, strong take there. I'm not quite going to say I'm concerned, but, yeah, I mean... Two starts ago, he had his usual 360-ish ERA. Yeah, but I want to be a bit of a bit. better than that. I mean, this is a guy that I thought could have like a 310 ERA and have his true breakout season and be a true ace. Well, if you drafted him expecting that, I think it's kind of your own fault. No, I don't think so.

He's good enough. He's good enough as who he is. I mean, he was, you know, he's like basically back to back with Jacob de Grom in the rankings, and I specifically remember the league that I have Carrasco in. It was down to those two pitchers. It was our auction. I think, Scott, you got DeGrom, right? In that league, Memorial? I'm not sure. Okay.

I'm not sure. Maybe. I was like, damn it. Now I got to get Carrasco. The Grom has majorly exceeded expectations. Doesn't mean you have to hold Carlos Curasco. Like, I get it. If he ends the season with a 450 ERA, it'll be disappointing.

But after two of his worst starts of the season to say, like, I think it stands to reason his ERA is going to be a little inflated. Yeah. So it's nothing to you guys? I mean, the strikeout rate is down a little, but like he still had his, big strikeout games. I think the swinging strike rate is still normal. There's not enough here. There's not enough red flags to raise real concern in me.

All right. Hard contact rate is up. But it's all it's the same. His peripherals look very similar to 2016. He had 332 ERA that year. All right, that's Carlos Carrasco. I mean, it's what Scott was saying. He had the 12.8% swinging strike rate this year.

His career is 12%. He's got, and even with the strength rate, He's got a career 24.1% strikeout percentage. He's at 23.4%. So I'm not worried. Okay. So any interesting ad drops that can help the people? I think I added somebody that you added in a different league, and I wrote about him

in WaverWire Day. Ben Zobrist is just absolutely on fire. And looking at his peripherals, it looks pretty legit. He's walking more than he's striking out. He makes almost no soft contact at all. he's still not going to play every game every week, but I think he's going to play five games a week, and I think he's going to lead off most of those games.

He should be owned in most leagues. I picked up John Ryan Murphy in a couple leagues, deeper leagues or two catcher leagues. Alex Avila's been a bust free agent signing for the Diamondbacks. He hasn't taken to the Humidor so well. And so he's kind of become the backup there to John Ryan Murphy, who's suddenly up to 10 home runs, I believe, with really high fly ball raid.

Big departure from earlier in his career. Seems to be a fly ball revolution guy, is getting a lot of power out of that new launch angle. And I think at a thin position, he is now flirting with top 15 status. I also added Ian Kinsler in a couple leagues where I needed the second basemaner. Actually, I lost Mookie Betts

in one of the leagues where I was, I lost Moogie Betts. I'm not going to be able to start him this week because he's on the DL. I'm moving Whitmerryfield to the outfield, and I'm filling in, and using Ian Kinsler to fill in at second base. He hit, like, three home runs over the weekend, I think it was. Yeah, Kinsler's shooting well. And it's just been hot in general.

And I feel like, you know, the hard contact percentage is one of the highest he's ever had. He's been hitting a lot of line drives. He's striking out less than he did pretty much ever. Like, I don't see this as an age-related thing for Kinsler. I think it was just a slow start, and he's starting to come around. So who would you guys rather have Ben Zobrist, who's 41% owned, or Ian Kinsler, who's, like, 66% owned? Probably Kinsler. You'd say Kinsler?

I think I probably would. Like, there are definitely situations because of Zobrist's outfield eligibility, where I'd be adding Zobrist instead of Kinsler. But if it's just for a spot at second base, I think I'd take Kinsler. Yeah. Like, the playing time is clear. earlier there, and they're both better in points, because Kinsler hardly strikes out and Zobras walks a ton. But they're useful in both right now.

Yeah, I added Zobras in a 14-team points league. I did want to talk about him. So he's 41%-0. He's one game away from first-based eligibility for what that's worth. So right now he's eligible at second outfield, middle-in-field. He's almost eligible at first and corner infield. Yeah, he doesn't play every day, but when he does play, Ben Zobris leads off, so that helps make a...

up for some of those lost at bats. And he's got an 860 OPS. His OPS in the three previous seasons, 809, 831, and 693. The problem with Zobras is much of that OPS is walking, his OBP. He's obviously not going to hit a lot of home runs. He doesn't steal bases.

He's kind of a points league guy. But right at while it's hot. And also, Addison Russell is a little banged up. He's probably going to miss three or four days, or two or three days. So that's going to help Zobras stay in the lineup. I don't, honestly, I might drop him next week. I don't know.

but because I don't, you know, he's not that great. But for now, if you need a second baseman, Zobris and Kinsler are doing great. I added Eloy Jimenez and Fran Mil Reyes in a 12-team Roeux in a league, one for some immediate help, one as a stash. And guys, I traded Vladimir Guerrero. We should talk about this because he's still not up. Josh Donaldson's on the DL. Donaldson could miss the minimum, but it's a calf injury.

This is this third year in a row dealing with calf issues. They seem that they really want Guerrero to improve his defense. They don't want him to just come up in DH. So, you know, I did trade him. I traded him in Ross Stripling for Noah Cindergarde. I mean, easy call. Yeah. You clearly won that deal.

That was proposed to me. As excited. Oh, really? Yeah. That's interesting. As excited as I am about Vladimir Guerrero's prospects and that he needs to be stashed virtually every league. Like, if you get a chance at a true stud, like Noah Cindergarde, without giving one up. In a redraft league, you absolutely do that.

But gosh, when are they going to call up Vladimir Guerrero? He is just destroying it. I think he's going to be a big impact player. I mean, I can't see him struggling at this point, can you? Okay, like, yes, it could happen, but I'm not, I'm betting on him being very good when he comes up. Oh, yeah. He's still, I mean, he's still young and inexperienced enough to where a struggle at the start or just slightly above average performance at the start

would not be a surprise at all. Yeah, like, Gregman. I do, like, the defensive issue, I think a lot of that's just, like, we're to the point now early June where if you haven't called them up yet, you might as well just wait a couple more weeks to make sure you're in the clear

as far as Super 2 status goes, and there isn't, this comes up every year, there isn't like a set date where once this date is passed, the guy is not going to get that Super 2 status attached to him. We don't find out the exact date until years from now. So it's a lot of guesswork goes into that when the season's unfolding. But they might as well wait at this point.

I don't know that his future is really at third base. He probably, I think he ends up in the outfield like his dad long term, just because he's not great defensively there. but it like with the shoulder issues Donaldson's had this year with the calf issues he's had like it would kind of make sense once Donaldson's healthy which shouldn't be too long that the two would alternate between third base

and DH for a while and if Guerrero doesn't take to it then maybe they transition him to the outfield this offseason like ultimately I don't think that's going to hold keep him out of the majors Yeah, it's, you know, the thought maybe he would be coming up after Donaldson goes on the deal. But not the case. Not yet, anyway.

So I guess it wasn't really a big ad drop weekend, not... I've got one more guy that I think we should be a lot more excited about. And so do I. I wonder if it's the same one. Go ahead. I don't know. I'll just try to... Wait, let's count a three.

No, I was going to not use his name, and I was going to use numbers to see if I could get you excited before I gave you his name. All right, all right. 23-year-old, 12 stolen bases already this year, 46% hard contact rate, 22% line drive rate, and he had six hits over the weekend. Wow. That guy sounds, he only strikes out 13% of the time to go along with it. Gosh, my guy's a pitcher, so, so no. Scott, does that sound like the profile of a player you would get excited about?

Is there zero power? Because you didn't mention any power-related stat. There is not a lot of power. But it's a 46% hard contact rate. It's hard to not have any power when you get the ball that hard. Who the hell has 12 steals that I can't think of? It's not Michael Taylor. Is it Michael Taylor?

Is it a player like that useful? The eight of those steals came in AAA. Oh, you jerk. Oh, I know who it is. It's Dustin Fowler. And he's just kind of under the radar because he's hitting 241 because somehow a player that hits the ball as hard as he does and has his speed has a 234 babbib. Okay. His babbip should be 100 points higher.

Boy, man, if only everybody could play the Royals pitching staff every week. All these days doing well. All right, so I just want to see, is he playing every day, Dustin Fowler? Not quite. Not quite. But it would seem like there's an easy path to that. Yeah, it's getting close. I'll tell you what?

He hasn't started against the left-hander yet. So that's a little discouraging. Would you drop Delino Deschilds, as we called him last week, for Dustin Fowler? Deschild has been so bad. Now, he's bad at ninth each of the last two games. I would not drop him. I still believe that he's going to be fine. Yeah.

I mean, yeah, he's a safer steel source. but I do think Dustin Fowler has a higher ceiling. All right, my guy was unavailable in my leagues, but if Marco Gonzalez is out there, like, you got to get him, right? He's 67% owned. Marco Gonzalez has been very good. Yeah, his last three starts have been tremendous. And, like, I don't have as much faith as others that this is, like, totally legit.

But there are reasons why you... It makes sense to believe in him. Obviously, a great walk rate. The strikeout rate, despite a low swinging strike rate, is pretty good. He's a decent ground ball pitcher. It's a lot of, like, it's a situation where he's above average at a lot of things, so hopefully that adds up to a good fantasy option. And lately, that's been the case.

All right, that is Marco Gonzalez. Let's take a look at the most added list, who the people are adding. Brandon Nimmo. He stole a base. over the weekend and just been outstanding. I don't know. Look, it looks like the strikeouts are piling up lately, but that's, you know, he's a good walk guy too. All right.

Brandon Nimmo's number one. Nimmo is 76% own. Nathan or Nate Evaldi is a two-star pitcher. He is 55% owned. Joe Musgrove, you might have missed your chance. He's now 79% own. Max Stassie is 37% own, and Ross Stripling is, Fifth on the most added list, he is now up to 91% old.

Nimmo, Evaldi, Musgrove, Stassie, and Stripling, and then John Ryan Murphy are your top six. We have two catchers in there. We have an outfielder, and we have two starting, three starting pitchers. Thoughts on that group, guys? Well, I had talked about John Ryan Murphy, but I was adding next Stacey before him because I think he's just a good hitter. I think while McCann's out, he's probably one of the best you could do with that weak position. Is Max Muncie not on the list?

Yeah, no, he's seventh. We'll get to him in a second. Sorry, what happens when McCann comes back, though? Is Stassie going to be useless? I wouldn't say useless. He wasn't useless before McCann went down, frankly, but it was useful in a, like, a Luke Malley. Maley sort of way, where getting slightly less than Tate. 50% of the starts there, but with a good OPS and, you know, and two catcher leagues, that's still

useful, as long as he hits, and Stassie obviously was. So how would you rank the pitchers, Heath, Evaldi, Musgrove, Stripling? Stripling would be my favorite for sure in a league where Sparp doesn't matter. Musgrove over Evaldi for sure. I think they're all interesting ads, and Avaldi's having two starts this week definitely helps. In a points league, especially if I had a week-second reliever, I might make Muskgrove my top priority. Okay. And we've got Max Muncie. You want to talk about him, Heath? He double-donged over the weekend. It was at Colorado, so it doesn't count. But still been very good. Max Muncie is

36 percent owned. Yeah, we were talking about Max Muncie last week before he went to Colorado, so we don't have to rely on what he did in Colorado to hype him up. I just, like, it does doesn't totally make sense looking at his track record what he's doing. But if you look at the peripherals of what he's done so far this year, there's not a whole lot to question. It does not really swing and miss very often at all. He's making good, excellent quality contact other than the fact the line drive rate's a little bit low, but he hits a ton of fly balls, hitting the ball like Fowler, extremely hard.

And he's got first, third, and outfield eligibility. So I think he should be owned in pretty much all Roto League. I'm just going to give you guys a few more names from the most added list and tell me how interested you are in adding to them. Danny Duffy. Not really. That's probably just a two-star thing. And if I'm not trusting him in a two-star week. 70% owned.

No, that's about right. Frankie Montas for Oakland. The most interesting thing about him is that he's relief pitcher eligible. But he would be behind Joe Musgrove on that list for me. I'm not totally convinced that his two awesome starts were a sign of things to come. No. Harrison Bader, 20% of it. He's kind of in that outfield rotation role that both Nemo and Austin Meadows are in,

and he's clearly the worst of the three, I think. I did think it was interesting they sent O'Neill back down and left him up, but it would have to be a pretty deep five outfielder league for me to be interested in. All right, one more deeply guy. Yiro Munoz playing shortstop for St. Louis, 11% owned. I just don't see it. I know he had a big game at the end of last week, but to me, he does in profile as a plus offensive player.

Yeah, I wrote about him last week actually as a deep lead ad. That was when he was 2% owned. He may still be just a little bit underowned. It was more than a big week. He had a 7 or 8 game hitting streak, and he had a 10-game stretch where he had like 18 hits or something. something. So he's shortstop. And so in an NL only league, in a 16 team or deeper league, I think there's probably a spot for him.

All right. Yeah, Iro Munoz playing shortstop while Paul DeYoung is out for the Cardinals. Time for the big news. Josh Donaldson's on the D.L. with a cab injury. Clayton Kershaw is going to miss more than a month with a back strain. Brandon Beld is out about three weeks after having an appendectomy. J.D. Martinez left with back spasms. It was precautionary. Chris Archer left with groin tightness and might miss his next start, so you might not want to start Chris Archer this week, unfortunately. Jake Arietta does not like the Philadelphia Phillies defensive shifts.

Boy, Jake Arita was very mad yesterday, guys. This was the second pitcher. We saw Jason Hamill do this a week or two before, and he's not good, so nobody noticed. But there is some blowback from starting pitchers over this. You know, the Jake Gerietta, I remember, didn't have to worry about defensive chefs because

he wasn't relying on balls in play. I'm just saying, I'm just saying Jakey. Might want to think about that. Strike some guys out for once. Mike Trout Day to Day day with a knee injury does not seem like a big deal. Chelsea James of the Washington Post said a scout told her

that Daniel Murphy looked gimpy in his rehab. And so things are going very well for Adam Eaton, who might even be activated this week, but not so well right now for Daniel Murphy. We should get an update on that pretty soon, I think. Kind of a CBS sports thing here. I have Fernando Romero on a few teams. I don't see any baseballs next to his name.

It's Fernando Romero making starts this week because I thought he was a two-star pitcher. When I was looking at it yesterday afternoon, it looked like he was a two-star pitcher, yes. So that might... I went searching yesterday afternoon because I saw the same thing you did at him and could not see anything indicating he was not making a start. Okay, so I'm going to assume that Fernando Romero is making at least one, but I thought two starts this week. Yeah, I think he's in line for two. There was a question going into the weekend because they have a double header, I believe.

Ah, that's probably what it is. Yeah, the doubleheader thing. I think he's going to make two starts. All right, Noah Cindergarde could start against the Yankees. They just traded for him, and I'm sitting him, not because he's facing the Yankees. but because I'm just, you know, I'm not 100% convinced that Noah Sindar Guard is going to come off the DL this weekend. He's supposed to come off the DL Tuesday. They pushed it back.

He's probably going to pitch. You could probably start Cindergarde. I'm going to leave him on the DL for one more week. Maybe I'm an idiot. Look, in a 24-team league, I'm doing the same thing. I'm starting Derek Rodriguez over him. Oh, I'll start yesterday for the Giants. And is actually the son of Von Rodriguez.

Yeah. We think he stays in the rotation with Matt Beck on back? I don't see who would replace him. Well, Madison Bumgarner. Well, Madison Bumgarner gives them four, I think, without Rodriguez. Let me double check that.

Okay, yeah, because Samarges on the DEL. Yeah, Madison Bumgarner would give them four, and then they'd still need a fifth. Speaking of which, Bumgarner's going to start tomorrow against Arizona, and you should be able to start him because his pitch limit is about 90 pitches, so it should be good to go. And Yadde or Molina expected to return on Tuesday.

And I got a couple questions for you out there, people. Who doesn't appreciate a good shave? I certainly do. Maybe Heath, because he has that beard. Who doesn't appreciate buying razors and razor blades at a great price? Well, with Harry's Razors, you've got the best of both worlds. You can get a trial offer for free at harries.com slash FBT.

I'm not sure that Blake Parker was available. Do we have a feeling on who we think the Angels Closer is? I would guess it's Parker. He blew a save the day before, but not in particularly concerning fashion. He should have been rested enough to pitch yesterday. It's not like he threw a lot of pitches. But he pitched Friday as well. I just think Mike Sosha just wants to keep trying.

new people in the role until he finds somebody he's comfortable with going forward. It seemed like, by the way, Anderson, he walked three in that outing, but he was getting squeezed. Like, he got the first two outs quickly, and then he walked three straight. But it could have turned out very differently for him in a good way, I mean. Yeah, so I don't think this, even though it was a shaky inning, I don't think it eliminates him from contention. Mark Melanson made his debut and struck out three. He struck out the side in one inning against the Phillies. That was in the seventh inning, so we have to keep an eye on that.

It kind of looks like Nate Jones and Ryan Saperra were used like closers over the weekend, even though they didn't get saves. You had Stinking Ken Giles come in in a non-save situation and get knocked around. You had Jose Alvarado. They may have tried to use him for a two-inning save, but he gave up two runs, one earned in one inning in the eighth on Sunday. that was considered a blown save. Hector Nairos pitched the seventh.

Cody Allen struggled, and Bud Norris has been struggling a little bit. He's given up four runs in his last five appearances. Heath, anything, I said a lot of stuff there. Anything that you think really stands out, bullpen-wise? I don't really know that there is. Like, Hector Nairus is going to be used in a lot of different ways, and he's not been particularly good in several of them.

But I still think there's about a 50-5. 45-45 chance when there's a save opportunity that he's going to get it. I don't have any idea what the raids are going to do with their closer situation. That might have been the most interesting because Alvarado was the guy most people seemed to be speculating on. This was not a good outing from him. Okay. All right. Come on, Bud, Norris.

You've got to turn it around here. So let's talk about some of the pitchers and some more hitters from over the weekend. We'll do a little trade segment here. Buy low, sell high, and then a drop segment. I just got two guys for Buy Lo. Would you buy low on either of these two Yankees? if they even are bylaws. I mean, I think they are.

Sunny Gray, six innings, one run, six strikeouts at Baltimore on Friday, and Masahiro Tanaka, who's basically helping you in everything except for ERA. He's got a good whip. He gets strikeout per inning. He's seven and two, but he's got a 479 ERA, and he's just, he's too homer prone. There's no doubt. That is, that is an understatement. I think it's like a 45 homer pace against him.

Jeez. Right now, which is absurd for a pitcher. who's supposed to be that good. But, I mean, there's enough of a track record there, and obviously the bat missing ability still looks like it's intact. I would be willing to buy low on Tanaka much more so than Gray. I do think they're both technically buy low candidates, but Gray is in the way that I've been saying Danny Duffy is where,

like, his owner is probably so close to dropping him, and you would be close to dropping him too if you would be close to dropping him, too, if he was on your roster, that I'm not really sure what the incentive is to trade for him. Yeah, I'm not going to give up a player that's on my roster for Sunny Gray. I just offered you a Sunny Gray trade, Heath. You did, right? As we speak. Yeah, it's out there. I'm offering you something to get Sunny Gray from you.

What league is this in? This is the podcast league. I'll tell you what the trade is. I'm sure it's wonderful. It is my Justin Smoke, Miguel Sineau, and Zach Godley for your sunny gray and the other guy doesn't really matter you get you get Paul Goldschmidt yeah Paul I actually saw that offer I didn't know it was from you I just kind of rolled my eyes and assumed it was one of the owners in the league that makes a bunch of offers and doesn't ever get a deal done and it was it just turns out it was one of the people on the podcast too I haven't made any I've only made like two offers this year they're both last night I'm trying to I'm trying to upgrade first base I'm giving me you got it was that That's ainderguard offer he got in Boldenton.

Yeah, I guess so. All right, well, we'll talk about it. We'll talk about it. I'll get Paul Goldschmidt from you. All right, John Lester and Michael Waka and Mike. Oh, yeah, we haven't talked about Waka. I almost threw a no-hitter. And Mike Fultenevich.

Are they legit or are they sell highs? John Lester, Michael Waka, and Mike Fultenevich. What do you think, guys? I'd probably try to sell all three of them high. John Lester, Michael Waka, and Mike Fultonovich. Yeah, I mean, I'm to the point where they're all good. Like, I'm fine. I'm fine just owning them, starting them, writing it out, whatever.

But I think at all three instances, they're more likely to take a step back than a step forward or even stay exactly where they are. All three are coming off, well, certainly Fultenevich and Walker are coming off their best starts in the season. So that's always a good time to try shopping a player. It's just, it's a case where I'd want to emphasize the high and sell high. Like, don't do anything stupid just because you want to get rid of this guy before he gets worse. So with, who do you like better, first of all, Waka or Fultenevich? Fultenevich.

Waka. Fultenevich is, like, it's one of those situations where I keep harping on the lack of swinging strikes. And I may be missing the forest for the trees. because his K-per-9 is phenomenal. And not every pitcher needs a lot of swinging strikes to get strikeouts. Swinging strikes almost always lead to strikeouts, and they certainly validate strikeouts. But a guy, we're a third of the way through the season,

and a guy has a 222 ERA and 10.4 strikeouts per nine, you know? Yeah, I just, that's true. It's just that, like, looking, if you don't want to compare Fultenevich's swinging strike, rate to what everyone else is doing and how it relates to strikeouts. I think you would still want to go back to his career and how it's related to his strikeouts. And this is his lowest mark in swinging strikes since 2015. And he's not struck out more than a batterer per inning in any year before this one.

So it's not just out of the ordinary compared to the rest of baseball. If he was a guy that could get a lot of strikeouts without swinging strikes, I would think you would have illustrated that at some point. it's, I wonder how, because fan graphs measure swinging strikes differently than baseball reference. Looking at his baseball reference swinging strike rate, it's basically exactly the same last four years, including this year, which maybe doesn't defeat your point. But like something different is going on here. I can't determine what it is from the numbers. But I just think it's been long enough that, I don't know, I'm getting, it's, it's, it's, it's, It's getting a little tiresome, and poo-pooing it.

Are you ready to drop the following pitchers? Is enough enough already? Luis Castillo, Michael Fulmer, Chase Anderson. Would you drop any of those three? Luis Castillo, Michael Fulmer, and Chase Anderson? I'll say no, yes, yes. I don't really want to drop Chase Anderson, but I could definitely see a situation where I might.

I'd go no yes-yes-yes also, but I'd be more likely to drop Anderson than Fulmer. There's nothing to like about Anderson. I mean, 39 strikeouts in 60 and 2 thirds. Unless I have that wrong. I feel like that stat is so shocking that am I wrong about his strikeout rate? You know what his whole, his entire 2017 season deserves. It deserves a fool, Jr.

Yeah, seriously. Oh, my gosh, Jason Anderson. Yeah, 39 strikeouts at 60 and 2 thirds. He's now 79% owned, so it's down from 82%. Look, there are people out there that you need to get. I mean, Anderson's an easy guy to drop at this point. We wanted to wait because the velocity tick back up. I guess he somewhat disagrees on the whole easy thing, you know.

He's not an easy drop, but you could drop him. All right. Well, anyway, I'll tell you one thing I'm not dropping is the draft app. Guess who won on the draft app last week. This guy, fortunes are turning in the other direction. All right, draft app's awesome. Listen, you got a team that you don't love right now, or you got a lot of teams that you do like and you want to play more. Maybe you're thinking, hey, I'd like to draft a whole new team right now.

Any other hitters you guys want to talk about? We covered Olson. We covered Muncie. Fowler. How about David Peralta? He's homered in three straight games all against Miami. He's 64% owned. Do you see a need to add David Peralta?

I mean, he's fine in five outfielder leagues. He always has been. I don't think the homering in three straight games changes anything. No, I think like his own. ownership percentage is almost perfect. At 64%. Can I, like, can we just go back to something earlier in the show? Your hints about Dustin Fowler, Heath, and saying 12 steals when eight of them were

in AAA, like that is so, that is so rude. He has 12 steals this year. That's just like honest lying, if that makes sense. It was just factual. It was purposely manipulative. Yeah, there you go. He was not wanting us to guess it right. I guess not.

I guess we thought we were friends. I don't know what made you do that. I do think we covered most of the guys. If you didn't buy low on Iban and Carnacio, you missed your chance. Austin Meadow sat Thursday and Friday, but then he homered on Saturday, and he was in the lineup when they almost got no hit on Sunday. That's a fluid situation. More news.

David Dawes out 68 weeks with a broken foot. Not, yeah, bad. Dust the Bidroia back on the deal with the inflammation, guys. And Eduardo Nunez is finally. hitting. What do you think? I mean, he's hitting singles. As soon as I dropped him. I don't blame you.

He's got to keep playing now that Dustin Padrault is back on the Dio. He actually started in place of Raphael Devers. And Brock Holtz's been getting more playing time recently, but I think we all think Nunez is better than Holtz. I just, like, if he's, he needs that at least that

15 Homer power, I think, to measure up in today's environment, because he's It's not like he's an elite base dealer. I don't know. A bunch of singles doesn't really get me excited. Well, that's the thing is the reason I was so excited about him in Roto is I kind of thought he was pretty elite in terms of base stealing. I mean, he had 24 last year and 114 games. He had 40 the year before.

He's got three so far this year. That just crushes you. And he's striking out more. So I'm not, I'm going to need to see a little bit more before I go rushing to Adam again. Rushing to Adam again, like rushing to me or rushing to Adolfes? him again. Rushing to Adam to talk about the podcast. I considered bringing up a terrible tweet of yours from yesterday before the podcast, then I decided,

no, I'm not going to bring up this terrible tweet that you got ratioed on. And now you're making you want to bring up. What does that mean I got ratioed? Ratio is when there are a lot more replies telling you how wrong you are than anything else. No, there are more likes. You talk about my tweet about the movie Get Out. Out? By the way, we were just talking about Eduardo Nunez. I think that might have gotten lost. No, Scott pointed out very appropriately that that tweet got more likes than anything.

So I ratioed the hell out of that, Heathie. Also, I just offered you a new trade. I've enjoyed the quote tweets that pop up from people I follow. It's been enjoyable. Get Out's just not good. I got 141 likes on it. It's just not a good movie. I really didn't like it at all. It was the most average movie. And I know it was good social comments. But just judge it on it being a movie. It's just not that good of a movie. Other than the social commentary, what's the like about it? It's just, I think if you're not sure what to like about it, you should go back and read all the replies.

There's plenty of things. No. No. So, Luis Gohara, he'll be back in the bullpen this week, but Atlanta eventually wants to move him to the rotation. Blake Snell, Jesus, he good. He tied an A.O. record. He started a game with seven straight strikeouts. Jeremy Hellickson left in the first inning with a hamlet.

string injury, Matt Adams' day-to-day. C.J. Crone has a forearm contusion. Eric Thames is going to begin a rehab assignment today, so that could probably will impact Hesus Aguilar. We'll see. Aguilar's been very good. Carlos Rodon, so Rodon, they don't know. They have not committed to him coming back this week.

He might need one more rehab start, so caution there. That's the guy you needed to be adding this weekend. I knew there was somebody. That's, yeah. I also saw Mike Soroka. become available in a couple of leagues. So I put in in a 16-team league I was in. I put in big bids for both Soroka and Rodon and won the boat.

I need pinching. There you go, Scott. Addison Russell commits a few days of the finger injury. I mentioned that. Teoska Hernandez Day to Day. Andrew McCutche and Homer for the first time in 160 plate appearances. Christian Villanueva is day-to-day after fouling a ball off his ankle. And let's get to the pitchers from over the weekend.

Studs being studs part one. Jacob de Grom, 13 strikeouts in seven innings. He has a 149 ERA, 98 strikeouts in 72 and a third, and he has four wins. Come on now. Jose Berrios has been very good in his last four starts, 283 ERA, 14% swinging strike rate, much more than a strikeout per inning. And seven in a third or more in three of those four starts for Berrios. David Price, nice to do.

start at Houston, three runs on six hits, on five hits in six innings with seven strikeouts. Steven Strasberg, he was pretty studly. He gave up three runs, but no walks ten strikeouts. We barely ever talk about Strasberg. It's just kind of doing his thing. Blake Snell, six scoreless innings, two hits, 12Ks. And Gio Gonzalez, like, I think I say it like every time he pitches. When are we going to start considering Gio Gonzalez to be a stud?

He was top 12 or 15 last year. He's got a 227 ERA. this year. He's just been great, and he's going deep into games now. Three straight starts of seven or more innings. So that's the Grom, Burrios Price, Strasberg, Snell, and Gio. Anyone you really want to talk about? Do we have...

I was looking to see if we had any information on Strasbourg and for sure whether he was going to make his start this week. He left with a forearm cramp on Friday. I didn't see that. And they kind of have indicated that he's probably okay. but just something to keep in mind. Okay. As far as Gio Gonzalez goes,

that was the main thing that the innings you pointed out, him not pitching deep into games. He wasn't getting quality starts early this year because he'd keep falling short of six innings. But lately he has gone deeper into games. And that's the biggest hurdle I think he has to clear to become just a very useful start-and-basically every week kind of guy to

put a high-end pitcher. So we'll see if that continues. But you may have a point there. Yeah, okay. There you go, Geo. Good brown ball guy who also gets strikeouts. I mean, it's hard to explain about that. Is he the worst pitcher in this list, DeGron, Barrios, Price,

Strasberg, Snell, Gio? He may be better than Price. Okay. Studs being Studs Part 2. I guess the question is, are they studs? They're owned in more than 80% of leagues. on this list. Jake Junis, Cole Hamels, Garrett Richards, Jameson, and I'm gonna tell us Skaggs. Junis Hamels, Richards, Tyone, and Skaggs. Heath, are they studs? I would not call any of these

guys studs, but they are all good starting pitchers to have in your rotation. They're not guys that I'm necessarily trying to, other than maybe Hamels. I'd still probably try to sell Hamels. but the rest of them. Tyone just frustrates the heck out of me. And this was a good start, but six strikeouts and eight innings. Good job. Like 12 swinging strikes is not a high number, but it's one of his highest this season.

And he has recently introduced a slider to his arsenal, so that could be what finally helps him turn at the corner. But yeah, I find it frustrating, too. I wish he pitched for the Astros. Yeah, and Richards is extremely frustrating. He just had a brilliant start against the Rangers. Nine strikeouts, one unearned run in seven innings. Only four quality starts this year for Garrett Richards.

Yet he has a 325 ERA. I mean, he's had some really terrible starts. I can't figure this guy out. A lot of peaks and valleys there. The stuff is brilliant. I mean, but he's erratic. The entire Angel's rotation is pretty frustrating from a fantasy perspective. Yeah, you know what's interesting?

interesting. That right now, Shohei Otani should have probably not have forgotten his name. Otani is now pitching Wednesdays instead of Sundays. I love that. That's right. That's an underrated really good thing for fantasy owners because you don't have to worry about him getting bumped back a day and not starting at all during your fantasy week. Which happened two or three times when he was on that Sunday track. So that's cool. This is a big improvement. And then Jaime Berea just keeps getting sent back down. He comes up and keeps doing well. And you might be able to stash him in a minor league spot

depending on your league throughout the week, which actually could be helpful. All right, let's do some more pitchers. Studs being duds. Any concerns about Charlie Morton, Jake Areietta or Nick Povetta? They were duds over the weekend. Morton, Arieta, and Peveta. My concerns about Arieta have been season long.

Yeah. Well documented. Strikeout rate is way down, swinging strikes among the worst you'll see in baseball. He's gotten it done because he's become more of like an extreme ground ball pitcher, but even those need to miss some bats. So I don't know, it wasn't a disastrous start. I can't really toot my own horn after this kind of start. There needs to be an extended stretch of these kinds of starts,

but of the three, he's the most concerning to me. So would you rather have Povetta than Arieta? I'd still rather have Areeta, but it's getting close. I think I'd rather have Pavetta. Okay. And we'd rather have Borden than both of them. Studs being something in between Studs and Duds. Chris Sale.

Yeah, whatever. Mike Clevenger, still having a good year, but three strikeouts, two homers allowed at Minnesota on Sunday, and 64 strikeouts and 77 and two-thirds for Clevenger. And that's out, he had a good May, though. He had more strikeouts than innings in May, so that was good. Tyson Ross, yeah, he's at Miami this week. You're going to start him.

Luke Weaver, five innings, one run, four strikeouts. It's okay. And Jay Hap, five innings, four runs, eight strikeouts was okay. Sale, Clevenger, Ross, Weaver, and Hap. Who's the worst out of that group? Let's take away Sale. Who's the worst out of this group? Clevenger, Ross, Weaver, Hap.

I think it's Weaver now. I think it's that way because. Oh, you say, do you think it's Hap? Yeah, Hap and Ross, I think, are also in the discussion. But Weaver, like, I feel like he's being handled, like, a traditional fifth starter, where they don't let him pitch very deep, and, you know, he's not getting many swinging strikes. He didn't last year either, and it didn't matter, but it seems to be mattering now. And, Heath, you'd rather have Weaver than Hap?

I think I'd rather have Wever than Hap, and I have gone back and forth and back and forth on HEP. So I reserve the right to change my opinion after his next start. But I just, the strikeout numbers are still phenomenal. I'm not trusting. It's mostly on the foreseem. I'd seen a report early in the year that it was a case of him pitching high in the zone with it. So there's, there's an explanation behind the change in swinging strike right there. But I don't know. I don't know if it's going to last either. I just think back to that stint with the pirates that he had,

where he became a world beater like he's been this year. And it also relied a lot on his foreseen fastball usage. So we'll see. All right, Fringy starting pitchers part one. I want your top three from this list. Gosman, Velazquez, Felix Hernandez, Caleb Smith, Trevor Cahill, Marco Gonzalez, and Aaron Sanchez, Gosman, Velasquez, King Felix, King Caleb Smith, Trevor Cahill, Marco Gonzalez, Aaron Sanchez.

Favorite and least favorite you said? No, top three. Top three, okay. I will go Velasquez, Gosman, and Caleb Smith. I will go Velasquez, Gosman, and Marco Gonzalez. Velasquez, Gosman, and Marco Gonzalez, Velasquez, Gausman, Caleb Smith. Okay. Velasquez, number one there.

I don't have anybody in Fringy starting pitchers part two, the 50 to 64% own group. I don't know why. It's like a black hole of starting pitcher. And part three, yeah. Can I mention something for Felix Hernandez? The first inning thing? No. He threw more change-ups yesterday than any other pitch.

If you combine all the types of fastballs he throws, he had like nine more change-ups, which I find interesting because change-ups obviously is best pitch. But if it's your lead pitch, It's not a change-up anymore, right? It's a bad fastball. Well, and the thing that I noticed in his last start, and I haven't seen the numbers from yesterday, but for the season,

he has a 4.4-mile-per-hour difference in his change-up in fastball. I don't think any of us really like Felix Hernandez, but I guess if he can fix his first inning problems, he's just so bad in the first inning, then I guess he's probably pretty good in the other innings, but none of us are giving a hearty endorsement of Felix Hernandez. All right, how about these fringey starting pitchers? There are a lot of them.

I'll put them in two groups. Group number one. Stephen Mats, Kyle Gibson, Yolice Chasine, and Nick Kingham. Stephen Matt's Kyle Gibson, Shasine, and Kingham. Do you want any of those guys? Gibson's the one I want the most. Gibson has the Angels this week. Matt's has the Yankees.

Chasine is at Philadelphia and Kingham is at the Cubs. Gibson has five quality starts in his last six. Yeah, I think I agree that Gibson's the one that's the least likely to hurt you. I don't really feel good about starting him against the Angels. All right, next group. Matt Boyd, Matt Cook, Brandon McCarthy, Lance Lynn, Chad Cool. Matt Boyd, Matt Cook, Brandon McCarthy, Lance Lynn, Chad, Cool. Do you want any of those guys?

Not really. Lynn, I've stashed in a few leagues. Yeah. Because he's been a little better lately, the control is obviously still bad in this start, even though it was a quality start and he gave up only two hits. But I think it was a third quality start in a row. and when he's at his best, he's a quality start machine. So I think in some deeper leagues,

just in the hope he's starting to get back on track. I've made a move to pick him up. Yes. And then finally, we have Zach Wheeler, Jaime Berea, Chris Stratton, and Mike Leek. I'd actually miss that Berea got sent back down, and I would have been pretty interested to just having him in my roster and using him as a streamer. But there's another guy on this list that's probably way better for that,

and that's Mike Leak. He gets the raise this week. You're probably going to start him against them. So I'd say leak. Yeah, I just think with Berea, I mean, he only gets sent down for roster management. He always gets brought back up, right? Well, he will get brought back up. But if he's not going to be brought back up for another 10 days,

I'm not going to hold him for that long. Is that what it is? Has to be 10 days? Yeah. Unless there's somebody who goes on the DL or maybe some other. I'm not sure if, like, bereavement stuff, that. I don't know, but definitely if somebody goes on the deal, he can be brought back sooner than that.

But it's, yeah, it's frustrating because I feel like he's pretty good. I feel like he's the best of this group. It's hard to know when to start him. Okay. In Deep Leagues, anyone you want here, Anabal Sanchez, Tyler Malley, Brent Suter, Frankie Montas, Clay Buckholz, James Shields, Sanchez, Malley, Suter, Montas, Buckholz, Shields. Montas is the most interesting to me, but like I said earlier,

it's not like he's a high priority pickup. All right, and then Heath, I'll give you the super deep leagues. Mike Montgomery, Blaine Hardy, Andrew Suarez, Derek Rodriguez, Dylan Covey. Mike Montgomery, Blaine Hardy, Andrew Suarez, Derek Rodriguez, Dylan Covey. I think both Suarez and Rodriguez could be interesting, just as kind of a reverse course type picture where you're just using them out. Yeah, and I'll point out, we had the email our last week said, Andrew Suarez, Sierra is pretty good.

And we had another email or like a month ago I said the same thing about Marco Gonzalez, and we all, you know, kind of want Marco Gonzalez now. Andrew Suarez is 5% owned. He went to the University of Miami, which is my alma mater, so I like him for that. And he's got eight walks of 42 strikeouts and 43 and 2 thirds at Washington this week.

That might be tough. All right. He deserves to be more than 5% owned. Okay, Andrew Suarez. So I want to get into today's matchups to end the show, but first I want to read some emails. a quick Bob from Pennsylvania. Dear Moe, Larry Curley, and Shemp, if present, he's not present.

Seven-by-seven league. Would you drop either Trey Mancini and or Franchi Cordero for any of these guys? Catelle Marte, Max Muncie, Carlos Gonzalez, Hunter Renfro, Yulee, and Dustin Fowler. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I'd drop Mancini. Like, if you're not stashing Cordero in a D.L spot, I guess you could. dropped in two. But I dropped either of them for Muncie at this point. And Gurriel and Fowler are also in the discussion if you need batting average or steals.

Yeah, I think I would drop Mancini and Cordero, and I would go get Yulee, Muncie, or Fowler, two or the three. This is Lance B from New Orleans. For this week, Soto or Solair? For this week, let me pull my math. I know Soler only faces one good pitcher all week. He's got a couple of lefties on the schedule. I don't know what Soto's schedule is. Yeah, Soto's schedule. He has one of the five-day schedules, and it looks like four lefties.

I'd go Solaire. Yeah, me too. Yeah, actually, Soler's my top sleeper hitter this week. I don't know why I can't hold that out. He's my top sleeper hitting. And at R.P. Sean Doolittle or a two-star Joe Musgrove? I would go with a two-star Joe Musgrove.

Josh and Toronto need steals. and he says, hey, Richie, Fonzie, and Potsy. Is that happy days? Yep, yep. Who's better for my utility spot? Travis Jankowski or Nick Markechakas? He says I need steals, which, you know, depending on how much you need steals, that could tip the scales in Jankowski's favor.

He provides them. Markechakas doesn't. But I think Markechakas is so superior overall that nine times out of ten, he'd be who I'd start. Yeah, I'd probably start Markechus and try to find steel somewhere else. This is from Jack. Dear Ricky, Julian, Bubbles, and Leahy. I think that is the Pet Shop Boys or something. No, the Trailer Park Boys.

Pet Shop Boys are that band, right? Let's sing. Pet Shop Boys. Chris isn't on this show. East End Boys and West End Girls. Is that that them or something? I don't know who the hell. Sounds like something he didn't know.

I don't know. Yeah, Pet Shop Boys are terrible. The question is, who do I drop? When Eaton and Cespitus come off to D.L. Okay, Stanton, Judge, Brantley, Upton, Cruz, Abraeu, and Hosmer. Would you drop any of them to make room for Eaton and Cespitas? Hosmer. Yeah, Hosmer.

Like, Hosmer, I think, is kind of the... Well, I don't know. Is Hosmer better than Eaton and Cespitas? I think they're all in the same range. The fact that Hosmer has the best health. I might just drop Eaton in Cespitas. Eaton's exciting enough that I could see dropping Hosmer instead. But I hate that you have to make that move without being totally sure that

Eaton is back to being healthy and effective. I just don't really think in a 10-team league like that you're going to miss Eric Hosmer. Maybe not. Do you know how much I hate hit the song West End Girls by Pet Shop Boys? I just want to throw that in there. And now we'll move to the next one. Nick from Chicago. Should I trade Kyle Seeger or Jake Lamb for Robbie Ray in a 14-team OBP League?

Yeah, for sure. Which one? The Segar or Lamb. I'd rather trade lamb. Yep. All righty. So we have five games today. One's a double-header.

We're going to start Severino and Sit Verhagen. Are we going to start either Domingo Armand or Mike Fires, Yankees at Tigers? I'd start her one. I'd start neither. Danny Duffy, Nick Troppiano. I would start neither. No. Oh, boy, I'm the only one starting Duffy this week.

Julio Taran at Clayton Richard. I would start Tehran. I think Tehran is a very not-good pitcher, but at San Diego is a place where he should be okay. I might have to take Danny Duffy out of my lineups. I'm getting nervous. Zach Godley at Derek Holland.

Sir Godley. Uh-huh. That was easy. It's going to be a fun show tomorrow. We're going to have anything in the world that we want to talk about tomorrow. It's a blank slate. Bring your ideas.

Thank you for listening, everybody, for Heath and for Scott. Team scam forever. See ya.
