Take 10 with Tim – April 10, 2026Microsoft Teams:Take 10 with TimFriday, April 10, 20269:15 AM - 10:15 AM1.Maybe it’s just me, but offense seems to be a problem to start the season. There are a ton of guys struggling. Here are just 12. I could have gone 30 or 40 deep. Start, Sit, and Drop1)Julio Rodriguez (OF, Sea, 100% rostered, 9 ADP) - .143 BA, 0 HR, 0 SB, 4 runs, 2 RBI2)Nick Kurtz (1B, ATH, 100%, 19) - .189 BA, 0 HR, 2 SB, 6 runs, 2 RBI3)Riley Greene (OF, Det, 100%, 73) - .196 BA, 0 HR, 0 SB, 7 runs, 6 RBI4)VinnyP (1B, KC, 99%, 78) - .200 BA, 0 HR, 0 SB, 3 runs, 5 RBI5)Michael Busch (1B, CHC, 99%, 105) - .140 BA, 0 HR, 0 SB 6 runs, 0 RBI6)Trevor Story (SS, Bos, 91%, 105) - .151 BA, 1 HR, 0 SB, 1 run, 8 RBI7)Jorge Polanco (2B, NYM, 84%, 210) - .200 BA, 0 HR, 0 SB, 2 runs, 1 RBI8)Marcus Semien (2B, NYM, 84%, 244) - .209 BA, 1 HR, 0 SB, 2 runs, 6 RBI9)Trent Grisham (OF, NYY, 84%, 248) - .167 BA, 0 HR, 1 SB, 7 runs, 4 RBI10)Marcell Ozuna (UT, Pit, 58%, 321) – 2 for 31, 0 HR, 1 run, 0 RBI11)Carson Benge (OF, NYM, 83%, 340) – .108, 1 HR, 4 SB, 3 runs, 3 RBI12)Coby Mayo (3B, Bal, 54%, 389) - .133 BA, 1 HR, 0 SB, 2 runs, 1 RBI2.The world was very excited about Konnor Griffin, but more often than not, he’s struggling – 3 for 18, 0 HR, 0 SB, 5K/2BB. You likely started him when he first came up, but now what do you do?3.We never discussed the crazy game Jo Adel had. While not fantasy related, he stole three home runs on the night and did it with a lot of style. Did you see it?4.Taj Bradley has been a revelation this season and is seventh on the Fantrax Player Rater for pitching. 16.2 IP, 22K/4BB, 2 wins, 1.08 ERA. A lot has been expected of him, dating back to his days with Tampa. Is this real?1)As good as Bradley has been, sitting on the top of the pitcher Player Rater is the Angels Jose Soriano – 20 IP, 21K/6BB, 3 wins, 0.45 ERAi.Who had this on their bingo card? Real or not?2)Who would you rather roster the rest of the season – Bradley or Soriano?5.Cade Horton is having elbow surgery – UGH! Who do you look to pick up his starts?1)It was also made official that Cody Ponce will miss the rest of the season. Sorry Tim.i.It does bring up a question. For fantasy players, is it wise to invest heavily across a bunch of leagues in one player, like Ponce. When you do, you’re scrambling What say you?6.On our Patreon site, I’ve written several times about Noah Schultz. He’s looked great so far this season, throwing a lot more strikes, but still doesn’t have a change-up. He looks to be getting close. I see the appeal, but I want to see more before adding him this season. What say you?1)Do you have two or three prospects you are looking to get called up soon?7.What hitter will you be targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?8.What pitcher will you be targeting for this weekend’s FAAB?
