As long as Reynolds gets starts he should be a solid play. Will he once Desmond and Dahl return?Reynolds and Zimmerman can't keep this up right?
margot is a baller, love watching him play

He's been on the prospect radar for a bit. A lot of power potential. Projection systems based on his minor league stats put him around 270/320/450 so its not a shock he can hit in the majors.Trey Mancini seems to be the hot topic of late, what's the word on the street?
Definitely nice in OBP leagues, he's a walk machine.In deeper leagues Robbie Grossman is not the worst option out there. Playing almost every day and hitting between 2nd and 5th in the lineup.
He's primarily only utilized against L's, but 3 HR in 7 AB's vs. R's could change that.Trey Mancini seems to be the hot topic of late, what's the word on the street?
Agree on Zimmer. He's 24, has really had a consistent minor league track record, and frankly he's currently blocked by Lonnie Chisenhall. Not sure we are going to see more than one or two rookies with real fantasy impact this year but Meadows, Bellinger, Zimmer, and Moncada are all going to get calls after the super 2.On the prospect front, I'm holding Bradley Zimmer right now, and I don't think I can ignore Ian Happ much longer. Dude's on fire, and the lowly Cubs could sure use a jolt. Though, I am always biased towards former Carolina Leaguers.
Happ is especially interesting for fantasy. He may never be a balanced major leaguer, but he can be a real 5 category asset in fantasy with possible MI eligibility.On the prospect front, I'm holding Bradley Zimmer right now, and I don't think I can ignore Ian Happ much longer.

Happ is going to force the Cubs hand and make an impact. I think the Dodgers being so LH already hurts Bellinger , guy is tearing it up so fardon't think I can ignore Ian Happ much longer.
I streamed him today and I might keep him around for at least another start.There's a very strong possibility that Jason Vargas has turned himself into a viable starter.
MadBum's the only thing that stopped me, but I'm investedI streamed him today and I might keep him around for at least another start.
He's been an OB machine for much of his career, with some speed and pop.Happ has been fairly average until the last two weeks, no?
I picked him up after his first outing and have been riding his streak. It seems more legit than fluke at this point. The K's have been good too (23K/20+ innings).There's a very strong possibility that Jason Vargas has turned himself into a viable starter.
Not sure if there's a new pitch in his arsenal, and we're working with a SSS, but his ground ball rate has completely flipped from his previous years (60% today and 53% for year). Add that to a big ballpark and good D behind him and my interest in piqued.
What about Clint Frazier?Happ is especially interesting for fantasy. He may never be a balanced major leaguer, but he can be a real 5 category asset in fantasy with possible MI eligibility.
He should probably figure out AAA pitching.What about Clint Frazier?
Absolutely, but there's no real incentive for them to do that until mid-Summer.I’m not buying that Oakland will stick with Rosales/Pinder as long as Semien is out. Hand injuries seem to linger and take a while to come back from. I think Barreto gets a shot at some point.
Wtf. Rotoworld blurb made it sound like he was mashing. I'm a dummy head.He should probably figure out AAA pitching.
Just watched this happen againBecause of the way the Cubs employ Rizzo in the field in obvious bunt situations, he now has two official games as a 2Bman. Three more and he gets 2B in yahoo.
Yeah, I've watch all four of his starts. He's got fantastic fastball command sitting 93-95 and going to 97-98 on occasion, slider that sometimes works as a slurve and change-up secondary pitches. Get's a lot of swings and misses and miss hits on his fastball, and his secondary pitches have been much better in his last two starts.I didn't start Senzatela at home yesterday but he pitched well again. Has anyone seen him pitch? He's got the Nats next so I doubt I'll start him again.

He's around the strike zone all the time so I suspect he's going to have games where he gets hit hard. His second start there was a lot of hard contact that turned into outs. He started mixing in more off-speed pitches the last two starts and the Giants couldn't do much with him.
I guess the thing is the umpires have to decide he's too far away from first and he has to switch his first baseman's glove out. Once he does that he becomes the 2Bman and it's recorded as such in the books. I had never heard of such a thing, so I find it all pretty fascinating. FTR I don't own Rizzo in any league.Just watched this happen againBecause of the way the Cubs employ Rizzo in the field in obvious bunt situations, he now has two official games as a 2Bman.

Kevin Pillar's been a speculative add for me in a couple leagues. He may get a shot to run with the leadoff job for a bit - Travis is back in the lineup tonight but hitting 9th with Pillar still at the top. The Jays offense can't be as bad as it has been to start, so he should score some runs and if it is that bad, that would likely lead to giving him the chance to steal some bases as they try to jumpstart things . He said in the offseason he's going to be more patient and work on drawing more walks but he's a brutal hacker IMO, so I'll believe that part when i see it.
Aaron Altherr was someone I have been watching for the last ten days or so. He has an interesting career arc as he was basically a good steal guy with occasional pop with limited on base skills. Then in 2014 he went to the Venezuelan fall league and raked. Since then he has posted a 840+ OPS in the minors and he had 227 PAs last year in Philadelphia. He has on base skills and he's now hitting 2nd with the Phillies. He's got pop and he can steal bases so with the on base skills he's definitely worth an add in all roto leagues, and especially in OBP leagues. BABIP is high but if he can hit .250 he's still gonna be worth rostering if you need counting stats and steals.
Not sure of the extent of Asdrubal Cabrera's injury, but I would grab Amed Rosario tonight to see what happens.
I grabbed him a couple of weeks ago when the Mets were slumping and Reyes was looking like he was shot. They've both since rebounded so I wasn't holding out much hope of Rosario coming up. They also have the option of moving TJ Rivera to the left side when Duda comes back so it still might not happen for Rosario but Mets GM did say it's a possibility.
Didn't think we'd see him until 2018.
I think once Rosario comes up he stays and with Cabrera in his last year, would have been set in stone if he was to miss a significant amount of time. I have him in dynasty, I'm ready to get this show on the road as my only SSs are Tulo and Cozart.I grabbed him a couple of weeks ago when the Mets were slumping and Reyes was looking like he was shot.

I'm 100% in. Dropped him after a stream in cake but picked him up in a weekly league and I'm holding there for the foreseeable future. He's missing a lot of bats.I streamed Cahill in two leagues and he seems to be putting it together. Walked 5 tonight but only allowed one hit and is probably a must start at home at this point.
Yeah I bid $18 of my FAAB on him so I'm all in. The only thing holding him back is that walk rate. His strikeout rate is great and when he's not striking people out or walking them, he's getting them to hit weak grounders.I'm 100% in.
