Pick Up Patrick?

#1 Post by Euronymous »

I'd hate to miss out on a Patrick Corbin breakout, but I don't have anyone I particularly want to cut, even in a format this shallow. Starting pitching is also pretty deep on the waiver wire, with the likes of Corbin, Clevinger, Manea, Wacha-types. I've been trying to swing a 2-for-1 trade today to clear a roster spot, but very little trading in this league. Any advice?

10-Team 5x5 ROTO Redraft

C Willson Contreras

1B Joey Votto

2B Ozzie Albies

3B Travis Shaw

SS Trea Turner

CI Jose Martinez

MI Xander Bogaerts, Tim Anderson

UT Yonder Alonso, Scott Kingery

OF J.D. Martinez, Christian Yelich, Byron Buxton, Eddie Rosario, Domingo Santana

SP Jake DeGrom, Gerrit Cole, Luis Castillo, Luke Weaver, Zack Godley

RP Jeurys Familia, Brad Brach, Blake Treinen, Keone Kela, Hunter Strickland

DL Drew Pomeranz

Daily or weekly moves? If weekly, is there a real need to carry five closers.

Thanks, Todd, and daily moves. Closers are gold in this league, so I'd hate to outright drop one.

I wouldn't sweat Corbin - in this format, there's going to be tons of hot players like this.

Thanks, that's how I was leaning. Meanwhile, I'll go back to work seeing if I can swing a 2-for-1.
