Very situational. You could look around to see if somebody will overpay
Personally, I recommend aggregating him into a better asset. i.e. Ohtani and another stud for Jose Ramirez

15 team league with OPS. Unique keeper structure: may keep a player 4 rounds ahead where previously drafted (FA pickups kept in 29th round) with max of 12 kept. Only start 3 OF spots.

I control Trout and Betts, so life is good, but wondering what to do with other pieces. Who should I deal of the following:

Mazara (kept in 18th), Eddie Rosario (24), Acuna (25)?

Basically, is this a Mazara breakout? How much is Rosario hurt by lack of walks in an OPS league? And how good is Acuna, really?

Thanks so much!

I clicked this because it's possibly the longest chat comment I've ever received

Not to be a prick, but I'm going to direct you to my Patreon account for this sort of epic

It just so happens I wrote about how to get the most out of patronage today - https://www.patreon.com/posts/19100318

12 team mixed keeper, who is the worst 1B you'd be willing to sell Hoskins for straight up at this point?
Brad Johnson
4:17
Interesting question. One moment please
4:18
Well, "worst" is a tad tricky
by perceived value, maybe Brandon Belt?
But he's actually been the second best 1B by WAR (and not far off by fantasy stats)
4:19
Try a challenge trade for Rizzo? Gallo?

How do you value pitchers in a dynasty league? Would a top five guy like Severino ever end up less valuable than someone like Albies?
Brad Johnson
4:20
Albies is substantially more valuable than Severino in 20 team deep roster
like 2.25X Severinos

12 Team points league  Rhys Hoskins and Evan Gattis for Gary Sanchez and Ben Zobrist,m
Brad Johnson
4:21
I like it. Those catcher points can be a real difference maker. Now go drop Zobrist for somebody playable.
Unless that's OBP pts
That's the tricky thing about pts questions - y'all identify it as a points league, but there's no real standard
4:22
and I kinda default to FGpts which is way different than most pts leagues
So on second thought, disregard any advice I give about a points league

Somehow despite a killer offense featuring Rizzo, Donaldson, Seager, Hoskins, and Ozuna I've managed to stay on the cusp of competitive so far, but I'm .500 and I'm at a crossroads in late May.  Do I hold these dudes on the expectation they'll finally turn it on?  Or do I need to reshuffle one way or another?
Brad Johnson
4:23
So Rizzo IS playing well
Everybody says he's struggling because he regressed to normal instead of going on a hot streak (like Jose Ramirez after his first couple weeks)
Don't do anything with Rizzo
4:24
You can try to "sell low" on the other guys, by which I mean find an owner who wants to fleece you, then slowly talk him up to preseason value.
I wouldn't force a move, but you should be open to retooling

What's with this Tim Anderson power surge? Is he a top 12 SS despite the OBP black hole?
Brad Johnson
4:25
Funny thing is... he's not a top 12 SS, but he might be a top 12 1B if he qualified.

Conforto or Cruz?
Brad Johnson
4:25
Ugh
Cruz

Hoskins for Haniger - who wins?
Brad Johnson
4:25
Haniger
4:26
He's super streaky too though
Mike

What do you expect ROS from Trea Turner. Will he finish a top10 player like he was drafted?
Brad Johnson
4:27
Treat Earner is having the exact season you drafted him for... 90 run, 18 HR, 66 RBI, 45 SB, .270 pace
If that's not top 10, it's because certain guys went ape shit
don't blame Turner

Time to give up on Dexter Fowler?
