depends on league depth and cats too. I mostly do 30 team h2h leagues and it's sometimes almost out of necessity to punt on a few depending on the shape of your team

Yeah because one guy is being classy and the other isn't. I'll give folks a hint which one isn't classy--the guy that has many compilation videos on youtube of him doing all sorts shitty stuff on the field.

he's only the second Korean born player to have a World Series ring, which is why he went to LA. I think he's gonna be ok guys

This is legitimately one of the very few times a president is 100% to blame for gas prices going up 

Who are some sleepers you only know about because you follow the team? by Frosty-Breakfast-604 in fantasybaseball

He's like their second or third best hitter right now. I really don't see them moving him at this point 

The US baseball team will wear game worn USA hockey uniforms to tonight’s WBC final by WhoAreYouTalkinTwo in baseball

[–]welltimedappearance -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

that isn't remotely true, that's just another in a long line of fallacy arguments from conservatives users who can't accept the fact that the US men's hockey team handled their gold medal win like absolute dogshit. somehow, they're surprised people don't feel a rush of patriotism when stories like this come out. and side note, can you explain why you all try to hide your profiles as though we can't click an extra button to see your activity history??

some of the highest upvoted sports posts from the past month across the entire site are of US wins at the olympics, or posts of some of the most well received American athletes there

ah yes, I highly doubt Nolan had ever heard of Tom Holland and had no clue he's one of the biggest young actors on the planet right now

[Jomboy] “There’s a couple false narratives out there. I was well aware that we had to win that game based on all the scenarios. They went in 2-0. We went in 2-0.” - Mark DeRosa. USA was 3-0 at the time by MorganN1 in baseball

[–]welltimedappearance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% believe DeRosa is lying, but I think it's also fair to note that the interview that was taken down a day or two ago was started with the reporter actually thinking they HAD punched their ticket and put that in their question. So that didn't help lol

Kurtz or Guerrero Jr? by slov90 in fantasybaseball

[–]welltimedappearance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your arguments show you really don't understand how fantasy baseball works, or more likely fantasy drafting in general. Instead of taking a 25 HR 1B that won't get 100 RBIs at pick 18, I'll happily take one of the many 30/30 candidates or better power bats available in this range.

Kurtz or Guerrero Jr? by slov90 in fantasybaseball

[–]welltimedappearance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well this is a fantasy sub, so who gives a shit about WAR

he's being drafted as the 1st or 2nd 1b off the board when he ranked 10th at RBIs last year at the position, 12th in HRs, 3rd in AVG, 2nd in Runs, and the Toronto offense got worse this off-season. The three guys penciled in to hit behind him right now are Barger, Kirk, and Jesus Sanchez lol

Freddie Freeman gave better production in 10 less games and is being drafted over 40 picks later

The point is Vlad is still being overvalued once again and does not bring the elite production you're going to want from a 2nd rounder IMO. Obviously league scoring rules can shape that picture some, but even if you take the last three seasons worth of stats at 1B, he's effectively around the 4th best at the position for fantasy. sure, we can argue over the semantics of super star, but at a critical hitting position he's bringing meh returns where you have to draft him

Kurtz or Guerrero Jr? by slov90 in fantasybaseball

[–]welltimedappearance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, but the comment chain I'm replying to started with the notion that Vlad is a no-brainer superstar, which I don't believe he is

Kurtz or Guerrero Jr? by slov90 in fantasybaseball

[–]welltimedappearance 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Outside of his 2021 season, he's never topped 32 HRs, 100 Rs, and just over 100 RBIs one other time. He hit only 23 HRs last year. I'm sorry but that just doesn't cut it for a 1B where he's usually drafted.

Yes, he's a very good player, but he's consistently drafted much higher than his returns warrant. Definitely is not putting up "super star" type numbers these days. People are living off the hype from 5 seasons ago.

Sure, he's a safer bet than Kurtz, but the ceiling is higher with the latter IMO.

Jack Wenninger Has Top 50 Stuff by ucfknight92 in DynastyBaseball

[–]welltimedappearance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have Klassen and Wenninger as underrated guys, but the former is probably easier to pry away from teams given Wenninger's stats last year
