8 team nl salary league keeper(10 keepers) 6x6... I have Jake Lamb, with the  humidor coming to Zona.. should I move him for Polanco(I think he rebounds big time this yr) could draft carlos Santana/Longo at 3rd overall... is that a logical idea or should I try to get Polanco using a 4th rd pick or something?

I'd take Polanco for Lamb without the humidor..  Lamb is a good power hitter against righties at home, and that's about it.

I picked up Michael Brantley at start of season and stashed him on DL, then picked up Sin-soo Choo as well.  Brantley is healthy and I'm trying to figure out if I should drop him or replace someone else.  It's a 12-team 5x5 (OBP instead of average) weekly h2h league.

Possible drops (pick one):

Michael Brantley
Sin-soo Choo
Brett Gardner
Ryan Zimmerman
Chance Sisco (Lucroy is my other catcher, so I sort of like having this upside play, also have Francisco Mejia stashed in an N/A slot)

Thanks!

So this is my first year doing Fantasy baseball in like 10 years. Just a H2H league. 

My 5th starter was kinda weak so I’ve been just picking up SP based off matchups for that day. So for instance yesterday I picked Up Chase Anderson from the Brewers cuz I liked His matchup, this morning I dropped Him and picked up Michael Fulmer. 

Is this a common strategy, or am I due For headache down the road?

Definitely a strategy that some people employ. Do you have a transaction limit for the week/year?

Mulling over trade, need some advice:

I'm trading:
Marcel Ozuna
JT Realmuto
Jon Gray

For:
Matt Adams
Kurt Suzuki
Matt Kemp
Mike Clevinger

I'm currently flirting with first in the league already. It goes back and forth between three teams right now so I'm in the mix. It would likely improve my UTIL spot and a starting pitcher spot, but drop down my catcher clearly with going from Realmuto to Suzuki. If Ozuna doesn't get it straightened out offensively, I'd likely come out ahead, but it's hard to know, because Ozuna is the best talent in the trade and should end the season with the best numbers.

It's a fairly common strategy among those who pay attention fairly closely throughout the season. You'll absolutely get a few terrible starts, but for the most part you'll get quality innings out of those spot starters. This strategy is called 'streaming.'

Nl salary keeper.. I need power & hitting.. would you trade Robles(nats minor league) for Cody Bellinger? That would be the main parts to the deal

Power is what bellinger brings. He has been quiet but i wouldn't deal him 1 for 1 for Robles for sure

I wouldn't do that trade.

I just took over a team in a 16 team point league and my pitching is horrid . I was offered Chris Archer and a 11 rd pick for Michael comforto and a 10 round pick in next years draft . Would you do the trade? What’s your outlook on either player for the remainder of this year
