TEAM NAME: ARE THOSE REAL TATIS      Question: Dan should trade Yelich for Lindor??. I cant trust yelich's back.
Dan Harris
1:02
I think that's fine to do. I am writing the trade chart article today and Lindor will have a higher value right now given the concerns over Yelich's back. I'm not running from him by any means, but certainly, Lindor is a more than fair return.

Sixto Sanchez ? I have been holding him for 3 weeks in my category league. He is taking up a bench spot that I should be utilizing. I am a middle of the pack team after 3 weeks. Drop or hold ? What are the Fantasy Pros doing ?
Dan Harris
1:03
It really depends on other options at this point, but he isn't someone I'm stashing at all costs right now. I expect him to pitch and be relatively productive when he does, but if I am at all in need of help at the moment, I'm cutting him with little hesitation.

What do you think the odds are of Mountcastle finding his form?
Dan Harris
1:05
Pretty good, actually. There's not a ton to like about what he's doing at the moment, but that's really not who he is. He'll hit for average, like he's done throughout his career, and enough power to matter. If you want positive signs, his barrel rate and max exit velocity are both up, which are usually positive signs for future performance.

What are the estimates for TB Wander Franco getting called up?
Dan Harris
1:06
Unfortunately, there are none. Rays are gonna Ray. My personal expectation is after the Super-2 deadline, which usually comes in late-June, early July. But I don't think I'd be pinning my hopes to it, to be fair. In a redraft, I'd still stash if I could, but I also wouldn't be thinking I have a league-winner ready to come up and help imminently.

This is my first year playing Fanatsy Baseball.  I am in a 12 team head to Head weekly roster setup.  Should I roster a true closer ( Edwin Diaz) in the RP slot or would I be better off with a SP/RP starter that will get more points. I could drop him for a Elieser Hernandez when e returns from IL?? Saves are not as important as total points???
Dan Harris
1:07
I would still roster and start elite closers like Diaz. But I usually fill one RP slot with a starting pitcher in a points league if I can, though it depends on scoring. Diaz, though, I definitely leave out there in my lineup.

Was Pete Alonso for lamet(Sd) a really bad trade? Keeper league h2h points
Dan Harris
1:08
Yeah, I definitely would not have done that given Lamet's injury situation. I'd be shocked if he avoids Tommy John surgery at this point. Sorry!
Guest

Do you think Logan Gilbert relevant in leagues this season? (It’s a keeper too)
Dan Harris
1:09
Well, in keeper leagues, you're obviously fine. I do think he comes up at some point and makes an impact, but given that the Mariners have had opportunities to bring him up and declined so far, I wouldn't expect him until the second half of the season. But I do expect him to have an impact late.
Mike
1:10
Would you trade Harper or Judge for Bauer.
Dan Harris
1:10
Either is a fair trade. I'd rather deal Judge though, for sure. But either is cool with me if you need pitching.

Where is ohtani’s trade value as utility only?!?!
Dan Harris
1:11
Good plug for the trade chart that will be dropping at FantasyPros tomorrow! But when I value Ohtani,I do it almost entirely as a hitter anyway. Most leagues are weekly, meaning you need to make a choice each week, and that's always going to be hitter. I've got him in the Buxton/Stanton/Correa range of hitters, so about mid-80's overall just given the likely days off and limited position eligibility.
Guest

Should I have Adolis Garcia on my roster for the rest of season? Is he a good long term investment?
Dan Harris
1:13
I don't think so, but I also think that you shouldn't foreclose that possibility. He's a good short-term add and he hits the ball hard, but that strikeout rate is probably going to catch up to him sooner or later. If you could possibly "sell high," I would. Otherwise, ride out the production now and hope it lasts.
Chad
1:13
Hey Dan, what do you think of holding Ryan Weathers. Is he worth holding onto? My other starters are Bieber, Flaherty, Manaea, Duffy, Gray and Alcantara.
Dan Harris
1:14
Weathers falls below all those guys for me right now, but he's certainly someone I want to ride in the short term. If you had to drop someone, it's him, but otherwise, I'd expect a really good several-start audition here before the league adjusts to him. And Gore will eventually make his arrival.
Guest
1:14
Maeda is killing me. How long before he finds his form?
Dan Harris
1:15
Me, too! I don't think he's going to find last year's form, but he'll eventually figure it out. I'm wondering if the weather is affecting his feel for his breaking pitches, given that he's pitched in LA his whole career and then last year didn't get started till late. If I could sell him for close to his draft-day value, I would, but otherwise, I'm not selling low.
Guest
1:15
Colome imploded on me and I am scrambling to find a replacement and his fellow teammates and the Doolittle and Staumont type pitchers are gone. Who would you suggest I try to snag?
Dan Harris
1:17
I mean, if Doolittle and Staumont are gone, you are really looking at some bare cupboards there. Perhaps Soria can take the job when he's healthy, and if Antone is still out there, there's always a chance he could be the guy. Other than that, I'm just taking clear backups on teams, lime Ottavino, who I know will get the role if the closer goes down.
Jeff G
1:17
Took a flier and added Nate Pearson when Chisholm went down, looking at that early May return.
Dan Harris
1:18
I have Pearson in plenty of leagues and I'm excited to see what he can do as he nears his return. But man, injury history dampens my enthusiasm for sure. I will enjoy the first few starts, though, which I agree will come in May!

Giolito vs burnes? I traded burnes and verdugo for giolito and judge in a 6 team points league with 5 outfielders
Dan Harris
1:19
6 of one, half a dozen of the other. But I would have made that deal, too, so nice work!
Gabe
1:19
Hi Dan, who would be winning this trade: Laureano and Kyle Lewis for Ke’Bryan Hayes? Normal H2H redraft league
Dan Harris
1:20
It's really tough when it comes to injured players, and Hayes' injury is particularly difficult to assess given the aggravation followed by a positive evaluation. Guess it might depend on who takes Lewis's spot, but I'd roll with the healthier side of the deal at the moment.
Johhny Slotcar

Would you trade Glasgow for Tucker and Bergman in a 12 man Roto?  Team is pretty solid all around so would this be an upgrade based solely on the players involved
Dan Harris
1:21
Giving Glasnow to get Bregman and Tucker is a total steal, regardless of the dearth of ace pitchers available. Make that deal and don't think twice about it.
Guest
1:21
what are your thoughts on Alec Bohm?
Dan Harris
1:23
I'm not particularly concerned with the slow start. He's never struck out as much or walked as little as he is currently, and that smacks of small sample size that will correct itself at some point. With that said, not sure I ever fully understood the love he got in the spring, given that he's never been a huge power hitter. I'd hold, given where his value probably is right now, bit I wouldn't be opposed to dealing him once he gets hot for a minute.
JR
1:23
Should I be concerned with Blackmon’s performance so far?
Dan Harris
1:25
Yeah, to an extent, but I'm not jumping off a cliff. I mean, he's walking a ton and his xBA is .268 with an xSLG of .421. He's never going to run again, and the Rockies unfortunately have more away games than home games left. But I'd be buying at dirt cheap prices if I could.
Dominic

I have yermin Mercedes and Travis d’arnaud should I shop Travis for an outfielder which I need and who would represent equal value thanks
