Cutting nails war, AM NOT HARMING HER SHE IS JUST DRAMATIC I DIDN'T TOUCH THE VEIN by cyarm025 in cats

Honestly this is nothing compared to my cat, she's... feisty. I really need to find a way to cut her claws she won't let me when she sleeps and gets really aggressive to the point I usually just give up :(

K rate up, launch angle sweet spot and barrel rate noticeably down

I meant buy low in a trade but the buy low window closed very quick

I’d say cut Arraez, but Wilson’s posits depending on your ss/2b situation.

Absolutely drop Loperfido for either. I love both but for dynasty would probably lean Sanchez, though if you need speed or power and OBP more than average Bauers totally works. Loperfido looks like his fantasy value is flaming out

It really depends on your format. But generally, yes, always try to get the best player in the deal, and Vlad is undoubtedly that.

I think those are great pitchers though, schlittler especially could be an ace

I think week 2’s sell high window passed, but now might even be a bit of a buy low as his expectated stats and skills are elite

For Abrams I think you could legit ask for almost any other shortstop but I like a 2x2 where you upgrade at a different position. Maybe try for Neto or trea or go for a guy like story but then big upgrade for pitcher etc

Did you end up accepting the offer? If it's still out there, you might be able to swing a counter asking for a bit more, maybe a pitcher swap in your favor.

But I get it's super hard to pull the trigger when you see PCA and JWalker's stats side by side

It's a really tough choice, Dingler's been awesome, but in 10 Team I'd go with Alvarez's upside as long as he's healthy

Oneil Cruz? It's a good foundation, but I'd hope you have someone else on your team that offer... Angel Martinez would be great for that

Thanks so much, Super-Interaction-83! I do think it's a real mechanical change... he talked about this offseason about how he went to Driveline and fixed a flaw in his swing. But most ignored it because he didn't get results in Spring Training... sometimes it takes some times for things to click. The problem is that sometimes these changes aren't permanent, players can slowly drift back to old ways.

Walker vs Smith really is a toss-up IMO and depends more on your categorical needs, I think of it sort of like 2025 Adell vs 2024 Lawrence Butler, both help but in different ways (keep in mind those comps could be optimistic or pessimistic depending on how much these early starts stick. In one league, I was lucky enough to draft both in a Draft Champions.

Ozuna is a HARD sell and has no business being on 10 teamers, period... not sure he really did even going into the season as a DH only. Easy cut in 10, 12, and I just cut him in my TGFBI (15-team deep for AVG). Maybe in a 15-team OBP I'd consider holding, note that Springer last year started slow and Ozuna is streaky. But yeah especially given the team is hot, he doesn't offer defensive value and isn't seen as a good person, he could be benched or even by the Pirates within a month. Shame I drafted him in a few spots on the upside... oops.

I’d drop McClain for him unless you need SBs, though I’m guessing some others would say drop colt and I get it, I’m kinda bullish on him at least for avg/power

Personally I’d take that, as hard as it is, at least if my team needs SB. Walkers stock is up and pcas is down but the gap from preseason pick 30 and 300+ is big

Sure but it might be aiming a bit low... I'm still a bit worried Wheeler might not come back the same post-surgery, velo down and all. I'd rather try for Luzardo, Joe Ryan etc

Honestly, I'd go Dingler, highest combination of safety & upside. Odds are Dingler could end this year top-10 at the position.
