2018 baseball rotisserie

[darrell74]

are you doing a Season-long league, where you can slot in certain players on a given day and choose other days to keep them on your bench?

Yes
I am in a rotisserie league

[hotcross]

I've never done one. Takes a lot of work/time to do it right.

[mpaschal34]

We did a points H2H league a few years back which was a lot of fun. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough interest last year to keep it running.

[hotcross]

H2H league - where did you keep track of the standings? on yahoo or something?

[mpaschal34]

It was on ESPN

Yes
Much more challenging
But I like it.
Everyday

Not like football-girls at my work could do football its so easy
Baseball- way too much time you gotta put into it

[darrell74]

It was on ESPN

ESPN is great for Rotisseie
Free and easy to set up and use
Easy to navigate stats
Love using it too

Normally I hate everything ESPN, but this is the only thing I like about them.

I started fantasy games (on the internet) on ESPN and have always liked their setup the best. Maybe it’s because it’s what I’m use to.

Joey Lucchesi with another quality start yesterday...

I saw that...great start to the year. Hopefully he can keep it up.

Joey Lucchesi with another quality start yesterday...

Currently 42% owned
Still out there in a lot of leagues

[darrell74]

Good day for spot starting pitchers
Trevor Williams Pittsburgh
Nick pivetta Philadelphia
Chad Bettis Colorado
Andrew cashner Baltimore

Just to name a few
Less than 33% owned all of them

[darrell74]

There are some decent mid relievers if you got room for them
Adam ottavino of the Rockies is doing very good he's getting over two strikeouts per inning
Adam cimber of the Padre's is less than 1% owned averaging over one strikeout per inning with really good numbers
Chris devenski of the Astros is only 20% owned and he's got two saves and one victory

[darrell74]

Dodgers hitting seems pretty bad
I picked up Patrick Corbin in a spot start for tomorrow

Still haven't let this guy go I guess he's no longer a streamer he's a keeper

[darrell74]

Spot starts are going to be tricky for today
Vince Velazquez looks like the best start for today but three starts ago he got his numbers blown up at Atlanta and he's at Atlanta today
Oakland's Andrew Triggs has decent numbers and going up against a not so good Chicago White Sox team
The Mets Steven matz Plays for one of the best teams in baseball and he's only 20% owned
Tampa Bay Rays Jacob Faria is very risky as he has a plus 8 era but two of those games were against Boston in his last start he pitched very well and he's going against a mediocre Texas Rangers offense

out of those, i like triggs the best. so does vegas....have him listed as a -210 and an over of 8.5.

the faria over is less (7.5), but i'm not sure if i would trust him after a few of his outings.

Sometimes I don't look at those money line numbers when I'm capping probable pitchers
Surprised to see Oakland such huge favorites too

I agree with you

[mpaschal34]

I normally look at Vegas lines when streaming (especially if I’m looking for wins in H2H). However it’s only for reference...such as today, I have no interest in Faria and would probably be on the over and possibly the Rangers if I was betting baseball.

And this is exactly why I don’t bet baseball.

[mpaschal34]

i think i'll be quiet with recommendations going forward.

fades are always welcomed!!

[darrell74]

Don't know if I should drop Anthony Rendon.
Hogging up a roster spot and not collecting any stats

[darrell74]

First baseman Lucas Duda of the Kansas City Royals plays the Tigers twice
On the other side Jeimer candelario plays the Royals twice
Chance to pile up some Stats today
A couple of free agents that should be available in any League

Depends on who you have to pick up in his place. If there is good talent then do it. However most 12 team (or higher) leagues don’t have many guys with upside available.

Picked up Jed Lowrie a couple of weeks ago and he has been a monster

PEDs?

[hotcross]

Jed Lowrie - he seems to be a streaky player, gets hot for a little while, then does nothing. Ride him while hot, but pay close attention for the precipitous cliff-drop.

[darrell74]

^ agreed

Albert Almora jr. Cubs leadoff hitter is 3% owned and has scored a lot of runs, good batting average
Somebody to keep on the radar to see if he goes ful time

[hotcross]

besides Jed Lowrie, Oakland A's lineup has some power bats which also deserve some attention

Excellent point
Oakland and Boston are currently the only two teams that have at least six players in double digits in RBIs

[hotcross]

14 hits for Oakland game 1 at Texas, good for a 9-4 win, scored 6 in the top of the 9th. Your boy Jed Lowrie went 2-4 including a double in the first inning, plus a walk. He went 0-4 against David Price on Sunday which looked concerning, but started off hot... deep in the heart of Texas.

Hard to believe the Rangers had the best record in the AL two years ago. They will lose 100 games this year. Heard someone say on the radio the other day that if Hamels continues with his 4.76 ERA, this could be the worst starting staff in the last 25 years. It’s sad when B Colon is the ace of your staff.

Hoping Oakland continues to Hit Parade against Texas...

... Miguel Andujar third baseman for the New York Yankees 6 out of 7 multi-hit games a few home runs and several RBIs to boot
Picked him up yesterday 19% owned currently

Thanks for the info fellas. Just jumping into this dfs

[hotcross]

thread info will help with DFS but it's focused on Rotisserie Leagues.

Now do people play these for a cash buy-in, or for fun/bragging rights? And if so, when does it settle up? Just once at year-end?
