jake lots to like about the organization. If the bull pen turns out to be what has us losing we will in good shape shortly. We are 1 game over 500 with Votto hitting 185, only one of our projected starting pitchers in the rotation,Mesoraco is hitting worse then Joey. Yes the bull pen is bad but Cozart,Bruce,Cozart, Finnegqn,Stephenson and Iggy are playing well. I also could add Barnhardt to that list.
Winker and Peraza are both hitting over 300 at Louisville.Don't get me wrong, I like the direction. No sense in having a lights out pen if you aren't contending. Suarez and Phillips have been good too. Excited to get Desclafani and Bailey back as well.
Any idea how any of the guys in the minors are doing? I haven't kept up on much this week.

he is throwing very well. Bailey also threw a rehab yesterday and looked good. He should be back in a couple of weeks.Rookie Davis lost 1-0. 7inn 4hts 1run 5sk 000walks !!
yea,he has a shot. Him or Groome. Reds should get a very good arm if they go best player available.Hey Waite, Riley Pint hit 102 the other day. He might go #1. Word is he's a great kid who just loves playing baseball. No prima donna crap. He doesn't even act like he's the best player on the team.

hope you see a great game but the reds win. Lol!! Enjoy the game. I would be their myself but I'm going to river downs.Going to my first Reds game in several years tomorrow. Go Mariners =)
Against our pitching I would say your are spot on. Good luck!!Looks like I'll be starting Seager in my Utility spot all weekend. I need Cano to start hitting some bombs again too.

I'm a bit worried about tonight since Iwakuma has struggled so much this year. It could a high scoring game. Cano in GABP is music to my ears...lol.Looks like I'll be starting Seager in my Utility spot all weekend. I need Cano to start hitting some bombs again too.
I got Harper and while he scores on walks I would rather they gave him. A pitch to hit. I also have Altuve at second. He is a good player. I'm sitting tied for second. I'm in a keeper league. I'm thin in startering pitching and my closers are not getting a lot of opportunities.I had Nelson Cruz too but traded him straight up for Scherzer a couple weeks ago. I need Donaldson to heat back up...I'm sitting in 4th in my roto league, and I'm hoping Donaldson and Price are going to get on a roll. Price has been better, but I need him and Scherzer to make up for the damage that Sonny Gray was doing to my pitching staff (I dropped him for Steven Wright last week).
How is your team looking?

I'm in four leagues. And starting anybody against the Reds is golden.
I lost Perkins and Street, so I'm down to 2 closers. And Dyson just got the job. Cingrani and Ohlendorf are both available, but I honestly think I'd rather lose saves than have these guys tank my ERA, WHIP, and HR allowed. It's so pathetic. The good news is that they're helping the Reds get a better draft pick next year. Plus, I'm the long run I could see guys like Garrett, Lorenzen, Finnegan, and Stephenson making up a decent bullpen. But no reason to give up on them as starters quite yet (except maybe Lorenzen).
Saves is one category, sometimes you have to cut your losses. If you can't carry four closers on winning teams then sometimes it's best to load on starters and go for strikeouts and wins. Just be careful you don't get guys that drag WHIP and ERA down. I love fantasy baseball way more than football. So much more stategy, especially in daily leagues. I've had leagues where I didn't even take closers and drafted better starters. I've had leagues where I go after average and SB. Got to find categories you can dominate in because it's hard to be loaded at everything. Honestly my approach is usually to stack up on pitching. I had a league two years ago, I had Kershaw and Scherzer and kluber his rookie year. They were 3 of the best 5 pitchers that year. Had four top closers. I won every pitching category every week. So I needed to win one hitting category. I picked up guys that were nobody's but hit .300 and could grab some steals. I snuck into the playoffs going 6-4 some weeks, but come playoff time nobody could beat my pitching and I just had to win one hitting category which wasn't hard. Yan gomes and Alex Gordon literally were my two best hitters but I won the league.
