What about Wyatt Langford? No HR's in 83 AB's? He just manages to keep me hoping w/his .241 BA, but his counting stats suck. Christian Encarnacion Strand is another guy who's got me concerned. A .185. He seems to do just enough to keep me hanging on. The Reds team doesn't seem to have the firepower they hand last year. I think they miss McClain. Anyway, I drafted both these guys late so I'm going to give them till the end of April till I decide to cut bait or not? Anyone else got thoughts on these players?
@@dgovideos4676 I never had Jones or Thomas on my draft list. I think Langford plays on a better team. He showed the power last year and in spring training. Acuna Jr. only has 1 HR and Julio Rodriguez has zero so I'm still being patient with Langford. I'm hoping when the weather warms up in Texas he gets hot!
CES has an xBA of .249 and an xSLG of .520. Also a 12.1 Barrel%. Seems like he's just pressing, with an OSwing% 7 percentage points higher than last year. Contact rate is the same as last year... it sucks right now, but I'm holding
@@dgovideos4676 I would drop Jones. Lousy team. No steals. I think Thomas will improve. A weird April. So many pitchers hurt. Reliable players not hitting.
Buxton now has the exact same number of home runs as Acuna. His power is still evident. Going to give him a little more time to lock in. Then I will make a decision. It is still early season.
Nah. Snell didn't really get spring training and last year his first while was rough too. But he's an amazing pitcher when he hits his groove, we're just not quite there yet. If you decide to drop, try to trade him on his history
I'm hanging on to George Springer (.210), Paul Goldschmidt (.179) and Nick Castellanos (.177) figuring that they will come out of their slumps eventually. Not only that, but I just picked up Eloy Jiminez (.167) and Jorge Polanco (.173) from the waiver wire as well. Admittedly, I may have to cut bait on one or two of these guys but, unlike fantasy football, baseball is a marathon and I'm in it for the lang haul.
Xander: Do you thing moving him out of the #1 spot will help him change his approach a tiny little bit? I was trying to find out where he batted in the lineup order when he was with the Red Sox. Maybe, whatever he is thinking up there, trying to get on base, etc. is messing with a previous approach that worked for him. Perhaps move him down to the 3 hole? IDK
Judge has a history that after a injury he just does so bad he did it last year what sucks is how he got injured in the beginning of the year this year
Doesn't it feel like we have more Mendoza line hitters at this point of the season than in most years past? Asking for a friend, that definitely doesn't have hitters in this category...... I wish, lol.
I don’t know, he’s looking pretty bad. At least dumb ass Julio Rodriguez and stupid ass Francisco Lindor are starting to show signs of life. Nolan Jones is as cold as ice!
Going to drop Cruz if I can’t package him and Alonso for Steer. I currently have Gunnar at SS and just scooped Rosario off waivers. Going after Winker(FA) and Garcia(FA)
Torkelson might be the worst draft pick I've ever made. 0 HRs 🤦♂️
How about Riley from the Braves. My 3rd round pick and a bust so far
Not worried about Evan Carter one bit.
Byron Buxton: Traditionally made of glass and now just sucks in general.
Byron Bust’in
Byron Suxton
This is the first year I finally laid off him
I dropped Buxton just in time to add Marcell Ozuna 2 weeks ago
Nolan Jones put up 80% of his numbers in the 2nd half last year. Still holding.
can't drop that man until it's more than 40 degrees F in Colorado.
@@busters01 Exactly.
Yes I’m holding
Dropped him and moving on.

A guy in my league dropped Langford, should I pick him up for either Nolan Jones or Lane Thomas?

@@jaimeb2339 so which one would you drop for Langford? Nolan Jones or Lane Thomas? Lane sucks ass too, but at least he has 10 steals. 🤷♂️

is everyone dropping snell?
Noooo

I dropped Snell in my 10 team league. No one has scooped him in about a week

I have all three of those guys also haha! I just can't force myself to sell low on any of them.
Agreed, they’ll heat up
Jimenez scares me though
I just picked up Castellanos off of waivers.
@@chrisgriffin6779 Good pick up! He is definitely going to turn things around and will end up being a dynamite pick up.
What about corbin carrol?
I think no one expected him to be better than last year, still gonna be solid . Look to trade him after a good game or 2
Castellanos?
I got Nolan as a FA. Didn't need to use my #2 waiver
I never thought Byron Buxton would have been better than anything better than a AAA player. I don’t know who would’ve thought he was going to be good.
Drop Nolan or wait it out? I can get JD Martinez to replace him
Should I trade Luis Robert for Seager?
I just traded Jones for Kerry Carpenter. Good trade or no?
Not too shabby, Jones isn’t a guarantee but Kerry is balling a bit so far
what about Mitch Garver? I expected more as an everyday DH player with catcher eligibility.
I took Royce Lewis, Oneil Cruz, Nolan Jones, Zack Gelof all in the same draft. Welp, there's always next year...
Took Lewis, Gelof, Casas and Merrill Kelly. Somehow in first. But don't expect it to last long.
Seriously!! Nolan Jones is the biggest pile of shit in the league! The only hitter doing worse is Jackson Holiday! I’m so mad!!
I have jones and geloff
I drafted jordan walker alot im panicked hes gunna get sent down

I have Judge and Torres on a few espn teams. Add Soto and they just scored minus 6 points. Killing my teams.
Wow great video tell me who is slumping or weather to panic or not LOL. Really just look at stats.
What thought about Arozarena?
He’ll be fine. Baseball is a long season
What about judge :( man has been sooo cold
Cold as ice, praying it’s not a slump due to his foot
Judge has a history that after a injury he just does so bad he did it last year what sucks is how he got injured in the beginning of the year this year
What about GLEYBER Torres
Ryan mc
Lol I still can’t believe I managed to trade Thomas & Crochet for Julio Rodriguez
Veto
What’s going on with Jackson Holliday? Is he overmatched? He’s been killing me…
Why would you start him he bats 9th?
What about Gleyber Torres?
Torres?
Doesn't it feel like we have more Mendoza line hitters at this point of the season than in most years past? Asking for a friend, that definitely doesn't have hitters in this category...... I wish, lol.
. 156? I wish -/s/ Jackson Holliday
I still think Bartolo Colon is gonna turn it around
I was offered Bregman for Arozarena. 2 struggling players
Good stuff
Players I'm trying to Nick Castellanos, George Springer, Xander Bogart
Nolan Jones has to bounce back
I don’t know, he’s looking pretty bad. At least dumb ass Julio Rodriguez and stupid ass Francisco Lindor are starting to show signs of life.
Nolan Jones is as cold as ice!
I'd literally take him getting a hit at this point.
I feel like Judge is the obvious one to mention. He’s reincarnated Joey Gallo now.
Just realized even though I have been subbed for a while, since at least last year, I was unsubbed and had to sub again
Alex Bregman, Jose Altuve, Bryson Stott, JP Crawford, Jackson Holliday, Jorge Polanco just to name a few
Altuve has been an absolute stud. Why is he on that list?
Altuve? Moron.
Altuve has been one of the best players in baseball bregman always starts off slow but this could be different
Going to drop Cruz if I can’t package him and Alonso for Steer. I currently have Gunnar at SS and just scooped Rosario off waivers. Going after Winker(FA) and Garcia(FA)
Don’t do it!! He will turn it around
Julio?!
I just dropped Oneil Cruz for Ahmed Rosario in my points league, Cruz aint doing nothing but striking out
I hear you! I benched Cruz on a couple of teams
He went 3-3 today! 😂😂
@@dgovideos4676 damn he did lol
@@tylerdurden7918 that’s how it is! You drop them they perform! You pick them up they get shelled or can’t hit!
