2020-03-11 13:00:00 (link to chat)I run a dynasty league and one of my owners offered his Michael Chavis and Deivi Garcia for another owner's Ozzie Albies. The second owner then tweeted a fantasy expert asking if he should do this trade. Other members of the league saw the tweet and began circulating it. First of all, this would've been a terrible trade, right? Second, if you were offered the same deal, would you have gone to Twitter first seeking industry advice or gone to the league's trade block and posted to see what else is out there for Albies? Almost every team in the league could've beaten this offer probably, right?
(Jordan from South Dakota)
Yeah that's a bad offer. I don't think it's a problem to try and find an expert opinion if you want, though I will say this is a great reason why the Bat Signal we offer is so useful. You get that opinion without anyone knowing you've asked. That said, yeah it can never hurt to say "I've got an offer for X and am considering it, if you want to make a bid, inquire within." I see that all the time in my leagues and it at least gives you the option of telling someone who complains about your trade "you should have beat it when I posted." (Craig Goldstein)

(Jordan from South Dakota)
In a standard dynasty league, it would be a bad trade, yes. If I (Albies owner) was offered that trade, I'd just decline, check the other owner's roster out, and counter if I saw a fit. The industry does tend to get bombarded by trade questions, but I'm fine with it to a point. It never hurts to shop a player league-wide if you intend to move them. (Jesse Roche)
2020-02-21 13:00:00 (link to chat)Have a bit of a roster crunch in my keep 8 league. Already planning to keep bellinger, Harper, Pete Alonso, rendon, Jose Ramirez and Jacob deGrom. Which three would you keep around from Eugenio Suarez, Ozzie Albies, Max Kepler, Starling Marte, Chris Sale, Trevor Bauer or Corey Kluber? Thanks!
(Jon from Warshington )
It depends on league size and scoring. I also count 6 you plan to keep so not sure there is room for 3 in a keep 8 league. Regardless, I'll give you my top 2 plus a 3rd! (1) Albies, (2) Marte, and (3) Sale. I'd consider Suarez, but you are already keeping two 3B. (Jesse Roche)
2020-02-14 13:00:00 (link to chat)Top five second basemen in 2025
(steve from wis)
The most difficult part about this is figuring how who will actually be a 2B in 2025!

Keston Hiura, Gavin Lux, Brendan Rodgers, Ozzie Albies & Vidal Brujan

(Wander Franco & Gleyber Torres stick at SS) (Jesse Roche)
2019-05-10 13:00:00 (link to chat)Is Ozzie Albies a star?
(Kelly from Florida)
I think Albies is very good, and has the capability to be a star, if he can be, let's say, 28 percent less streaky. (Mark Barry)
2019-05-29 13:00:00 (link to chat)How do you think Keuchel is going to do? Is he going to be great or would someone be lucky to trade him now? Gauging him by Middle Infielders/Berries is a neat way to do it. Would he be worth a Trevor Story (Strawberry), an Ozzie Albies (Black Cherry), or a Swanson (Blueberry)?
(tallahassee from Chatham, NJ)
Probably Swanson. On the one hand he's great at generating ground balls which is a nice counteraction to the home run trend, and Zach Crizer made the point that home runs have the highest correlation to ERA- right now. So maybe he's good at that. But he also really needs the umps to be calling strikes in the bottom of the zone and it feels like (I should look this up) the trend is towards higher strikes right now. That could be an issue. Plus he needs to ramp up to MLB quality, etc. I'd be a little nervous. (Craig Goldstein)
2019-05-17 16:00:00 (link to chat)Would you rather have Ozzie Albies or chavis in a keep forever league?
(Alejandro from Lulu)
I want Albies. (Mike Gianella)
2019-03-04 16:00:00 (link to chat)Your thoughts on Ozzie Albies going forward? Top 5 2B or or top 5 in strikeouts? Both? Thanks!
(Kid from Lookin' at Joe Jackson)
I think Albies is caught in the Acuna vortex and is seen as something of a disappointment in comparison. He was 21 all of last season, didn't strike out a ton and was an efficient base stealer. He's still on the good list for me, though I'll be looking at how he starts after last year's second half. (Scott Delp)
2018-11-29 23:00:00 (link to chat)Just dealt Ozzie Albies for Adalberto Mondesi in a 14 tm h2h keeper. Thoughts?
(dtothew from Atlanta )
Mondesi's always been a tough guy to evaluate in terms of fantasy value because he was SO aggressively pushed throughout his minor-league career, and last year's explosion swung the pendulum that much further in the other direction. I think I like him more than Albies longterm, particularly if you've got another decent 2B option and needed 6-spot value? If what he showed last year holds, he's a superstar. If 60% of it holds, he's a very good fantasy asset for a very long time. (Wilson Karaman)
2018-05-11 13:00:00 (link to chat)True or false: Ozzie Albies is the best 2B in the NL not named Jose Altuve.
(Marty from Atlanta)
I mean Jose Altuve hasn't been in the NL in a few years now? If you're wondering if he's the second-best 2B in baseball, the answer is yes. (Nicolas Stellini)
2018-05-04 13:00:00 (link to chat)What the hell has gotten into Ozzie Albies?
(Buddy from Peoria, IL)
Dingers. I seriously have no idea, but I hope he stays this way. (Anthony Rescan)
2017-05-22 23:00:00 (link to chat)Be honest, how often are you tempted to pronounce Ozhaino Albies' 1st name "oh-ZHAAIII-no" the way Tommy Wiseau says "oh HAAII Mark"?
(Greg Sestero from Guerrero Street)
Honestly, as a fully Calified brah these days, his first name is properly three words forever: "O's heeeey know" (Wilson Karaman)
2015-02-04 19:00:00 (link to chat)Thanks for the chat! End of my dynasty keeper list, keep two of three: Jorge Mateo, Ozhaino Albies, Rio Ruiz. Who ya got and why?
(Rob from Alaska)
I like Mateo quite a bit more than most. Legit top of the scale runner. Albies is an intriguing profile, although he's got some 'shiny new toy' type love right now. None of his flaws have been exposed. Plus, he has an outstanding name. Aforementioned, I'm the low man on Ruiz. And, especially from a fantasy POV, Ruiz is playing a less important position than the other two. (Jordan Gorosh)
2015-01-15 18:00:00 (link to chat)What are your thoughts on Ozhaino Albies? Is he a better long-term SS prospect than, say, Amed Rosario or Raul Mondesi?
(Two74 from Florida)
Intriguing set of tools, but also an incredibly long ways off. Mondesi is light years ahead of Albies as a long-term shortstop prospect, and as a resident believer in Rosario, I'm not inclined to put Albies in his class either. (Mark Anderson)
2014-11-04 18:00:00 (link to chat)What can you tell me about Braves ss Ozhaino Albies and where might he rank among other ss prospects?
(scott from az)
I think Albies is a guy to keep an eye on, but he's not a guy I'm prepared to really start pumping quite yet. He's drastically undersized and lacks strength of any kind right now. I like the profile of the glove at shortstop and believe he can make that work, but I'm still concerned that the bat is going to end up light because he just doesn't have the size and strength to swing it with anything resembling authority. (Mark Anderson)
2014-10-23 14:00:00 (link to chat)Starting to hear some buzz on Ozhaino Albies, ss, ATL, what can you tell me about him and where might he rank among ss prospects?
(Scott from AZ)
I am a bit behind the ball on position player prospects, so I will go ahead and defer to the awesome BP Prospect crew for this one. (Doug Thorburn)
