Streaking Hitters Going into May 14th- 20th
I endorsed Ryan Doumit and Yonder Alonso early this week, and they haven’t come close to slowing down. Doumit has been as good as any Fantasy Cacther and Alonso has been a top First Base option this past week. Now, it is only fair to note that I leaned against Josh Reddick and he has not slowed down either, but I do believe that pitchers will figure him out and his impact will be limited in the future. If you own Reddick, I’d be selling high, while I feel that it is a sign of things to come for Doumit and Alonso.
Here are some other candidates to consider adding.
Allen Craig
- If he isn’t gone in your league add him right now. He may have to fight for playing time here and there, but he also has some position flexibility and he is a professional hitter who cannot stay out of the lineup long. He is surrounded with injury prone players in St. Louis so there will be plenty of at bats to keep his hungry bat feed. He was along with Doumit and Alonso for me a few days ago but I assumed he was being snatched up across the board already. Two Steps: 1. Click Add 2. Sit Back and Enjoy.
Danny Esponisa
- Until Friday Danny Esp hadn’t knocked in a run since the 2nd game of the season, and has looked lost for most of the year. His struggles really date back to the second half of last season, but suddenly he has three homers in his past two games, and might be ready to get back to the power-speed game we saw this time last season. It is a risky because he fans with the best of them, but his value is at an all time low, and he has shown he is a legit fantasy starter in the past. Roll the dice if are weak at 2nd or have bench options.
Andy Dirks
- Dirks is battling a sore hammy right now, but that doesn’t seem to be slowing him down. He has been batting in the two hole lately and that means that he has some huge bats behind him. With Austin Jackson looking better than ever in front of him, it is a great situation for Andy. Add him, but just beware that he might fight for some playing time here and there. No risk here though, add Dirks for OF help.
Paul Goldschmidt
- It has been a disappointing start to the season for the young slugger, but the signs are there that he is almost ready to kick the funk and get some solid production going. Gibson has been patient with him in the desert and hopefully down the stretch he’ll be a must start option. I would buy low on Goldschmidt across the board, as long as you have some bench space to afford the luxury to wait on him until he fully gets going. He is hitting above .300 in May - and has actually doubled his .193 Batting Average from April.
Sean Rodriguez
- Sean has a 12 game hitting streak going, and although his numbers aren’t startling along the way, he is going to play, and depending on league settings has 2B, SS and now 3B status. Rodriguez was a hyped sleeper a few years back out of Spring Training and has been red hot at times in the past. He is a nice bench option - similar to once red hot, now cooling Mike Aviles. Rodriguez batted second last night and is settling into a nice groove.
Brandon Inge
- We have seen this hot streak from Inge in the past, he was the joke of Fantasy Baseball just two weeks ago as a Tiger, but how things can change. Inge is a veteran who has some position eligibility, with the third baggers out thus far this season he might be a valuable pick up. Inge went 0 for last night, and today he faces Verlander - yikes - so there are reasons to keep tabs on him before clicking add. Inge might flop again, but right now he is as hot as anyone in baseball.

Not everyone trades. But agreed, for one sport folk like myself. It requires patience

NFL LIVE is the most difficult league for me and it's not even close

Cant just trade because its fun. There needs to be a purpose behind trading. Get guys you believe in or need to keep improving.

NFL LIVE has the toughest GMs & football is the toughest fantasy sport for DYNASTY. Redraft will always be King of football.

Baseball, hockey, basketball guys struggle with NFL LIVE because its just so damn fast (football careers, roster turnover etc.)

Limited assets

We all have the same assets

If a team has 2 QB1s another team has none. If a team in baseball has 2 1B it doesn't leave a team without one.

That's what I mean by limited assets
Today

Brent
:
And that's why I haven't traded Carr yet. Someone doesn't have a QB or thinks they'll get one in FA/draft and might be left wanting.
Today

Daddy
:
@Alpha if a team in MLB LIVE has two starting 1Bs then there is also a team without one.

@jwalker I make like 2-3 trades a year for each of my baseball teams, maybe. I'll tell you part of the reason I don't trade. Every trade discussion starts out with the other team wanting my top prospect regardless of what I am trading for. I am not trading Jackson Holliday for your backup catcher who is going to play 20 games this year.

Nah cause position eligibility. 1B/OF, 1B,3B etc

CB/S >> DE/LB >> Taysom Hill QB/TE

Football is just harder. You can build a team and 3 years later its irrelevant due to injury, retirement, roster turnover.

@ldsjayhawk I get the frustration but you're gonna have to get over that man haha
Today

And maybe you should trade Jackson Holiday lolol
Today
at 12:32:00 PM
Brent
:
In an offsite league, I inquired about Mason Miller and the guy asked for Jackson Holliday.

Is it like a 4 team redraft league?
Today

dbreer23
:
Cris, there is a reason that you are a good owner, bc you can discern a value deal vs. a BS deal. Not all owners are that savvy. They will eventually leave...
Today
at 12:42:49 PM
Brent
:
Nope, 32-team contract league.
Today
at 12:49:09 PM
ldsjayhawk
:
I don't have Holiday. Just used him as an example since he was the #1 prospect
Today
at 12:56:05 PM
ldsjayhawk
:
@Alpha I do make trades. I am just not giving up the entire farm to land a guy I can get out of the FA pool
Today
at 12:59:21 PM
ldsjayhawk
:
Trading should be a win-win situation for both teams.
Today
at 01:00:32 PM
dbreer23
:
Agreed. I think the Devers deal in FGM is a good example of that. Devers gives SD some now (and future) pop, giving up substantial pieces to get him (Mayo, Keith, and one other).
Today
at 01:03:48 PM
Brent
:
I had Holliday in FGM before I stepped away.

I am glad I cut back on leagues, I was spread too thin.

@idsjayhawk i understand that. To be clear, i wasnt judging anyone. I just know in NFL Live, you cant just draft 1-7 rds every year and sign a few FAs and be the champion. It wont happen
Today
at 01:52:08 PM
Jwalkerjr88
:
Trading isnt easy. But neither is winning
Today

If you made a list of the most aggressive gms to have stepped foot in nfl live, you will notice the champions will be among them
Today

You arent gonna win every trade and you HAVE to have a plan. Ive made some horrible trades. I have every year
Today

:
Carolina has kyren williams right now cause i traded him for a 2nd and a 4th. Id rather have kyren today lol
Today
at 01:54:28 PM
Brent
:
Agreed. I have Amon Ra St. Brown and Aiyuk because I traded JJ. I couldn't have acquired a player like ASB where I was picking in the 1st so I down tiered at WR to make a trio of Chase, ASB and Aiyuk instead of JJ, Chase and fill in the blank.
Today
at 02:09:02 PM
ldsjayhawk
:
That is probably even more true in baseball since your drafts don't payoff for 5 years or so. And I will admit my conservatism may be the reason I only have one championship here at ProFSL

although my last draft class and fa class kinda lead me to a run so it can happen
Today
at 02:27:21 PM
Brent

Yeah, it does help to have a big draft class and available cap.

I'm contemplating doing a complete tear down in NFL Live and rebuild. Honestly, I probably should have postered for it to be this season. I still might, but I would legit need to go into the draft with 3-4 top 10 picks/+ many others.
Today
at 02:38:21 PM
Brent
:
postured
Today
at 02:38:35 PM
Jwalkerjr88
:
Yea nailing drafts and some key FAs helps too. But if you remember BAB you traded alvin kamara for the rams 1-7 draft picks. So the extra picks helped you nail the 2023 draft the way you did
Today
at 03:13:02 PM
Jwalkerjr88
:
Its the combination of all three that is required is what im saying
Today
at 03:13:31 PM
Jwalkerjr88
:
And brent a tear down with you assets would look interesting. Personally i just think you need break one big asset down into 3 good ones and move carr and go from there. But you have an A1 nfl mind so im sure you will nail whatever it is you decide

very good pt yes i did gain lot of capital which propelled me to make more moves from that trade
Today
at 03:34:25 PM
Brent
:
Thank you. Yes, I agree. I do need to break one asset down to 3. I did that with JJ, went from S tier to 2 A tiers. Now I need to potentially go from an A tier to 3 Bs or something like that. I've had some inquiries on Carr, but nothing worth moving him.

Guarantee I know who he traded Kamara to for 1-7 without even looking
