In my 16 team H2H league, dump season has started. I am sitting 2nd and I am wondering if I should stay the course, or look for a rental.
Two factors to consider are the MASH unit--hopefully Carlos Carrasco and Luis Roberts will be 100% by September--and that this is a keeper league. Escobar, Morton, Ryu, Hendricks, and probably Lynn and Carrasco will not be back for 2022. I am actually peaking a bit early in the cycle.

It's now post Super 2. Are there any interesting callups to watch for? I tried for Cal Raleigh, but no joy.

Trade or Stand?
Re: Trade or Stand?
I'm a flags fly forever guy so I'm always aggressive. That said, I have no experience in a H2H keeper league so I'm not the best to ask. I see the difference as H2H has a certain chance element in the playoffs so I can't speak towards fortifying my team only to have a bad beat in the playoffs. I can see approaching H2H differently, aiming to get in the playoffs as often as possible and hope you're the one on the good side of a bad beat.
I don't have any secret prospects -- though I am even more leery of relying on the hot prospect since the quality of play in the minors if down after a year off so those at least playing at the alternate site last season are even further ahead of the rest, artificially inflating their numbers.
