I know you aren't supposed to drop hitters until May, but Nolan Jones is working on an 0/22 and counting. Razzballs rankings convinced me to overdraft this guy and he's a disaster.

I drafted Arozarena and Jones in rounds 4 & 5. They're completely unplayable right now, but too talented to drop and ESPN has short benches. I know we're not even a month into the season, but goddamn does that hole they're digging look more and more insurmountable every day.

I'm in a league where I have Oneil Cruz and Corbin Carroll just killing me, too. There's a lot of dead bats right now it's really weird.

I was so happy that I have Carroll and JRod as keeper and UGH

I'm in a casual 6 man league and autodraft landed me with Freeman, Harper and Olson. They're all cold. Yelich was my best bat for a while but y'know, injuries. I'm staying afloat with some younger guys who are on a tear, like Westburg and Cowser.

Somebody in my money league rage dropped Snell, so that was a fun waiver pickup.

As a Giants fan I'm hoping that April has been like, delayed Spring Training for him. His stuff looks fine to me. :shrug:

Yeah it's likely that a lot of players are just cold and the weather will heat up along with their bats/arms. There's too many good guys not hitting right now.

The waiver wire giveth... Snell just got placed on the IL with an adductor strain and I don't know what that is

Sounds like a 2-4 week leg injury.

And no room on my IL with Jung and Scherzer recuperating. (Although it sounds like Scherzer is rehabbing much quicker than expected)

Yeah, I’ve been getting crushed on injuries. My roto team I at least brought some of it on myself, drafting Scherzer, Kershaw, Williams and Duran hoping to stash some good guys for cheap and ride short a bench slot for a month. But then I added 5 more guys to the IL and have no idea what to do.

So I have Junior Caminero in a dynasty league and I live in the Raleigh Durham area and I’ve tried three times to go see him for the Bulls and each time he’s been out with an injury. Today I had other plans and he’s already socked two dingers. Oh well

I have officially benched Corbin Carroll. I hope he gets his poo poo together. I'm 3-2 with third highest points, but it would still be nice to have my first round pick not suck rear end

I have had him benched all week. I have to start him today because of postponed games. It's weird how he cannot hit a fastball all of a sudden.

He had a huge dropoff last season after his shoulder injury. I didn't think it would follow him into 2024 like this but yikes.

Same. I thought he'd be pretty valuable where I drafted him at.

There are a ton of guys slumping early so hopefully Carroll is just cold. His walks look good still.

It feels like a lot of dudes just aren't getting good stuff to hit. Like, Judge and Freeman are doing fine overall but their SLG is in the tank (Judge's AVG, too, right now, obviously.)

That's impressive actually because I would have kept all those guys for sure in March.

Yeah it was an early-ish draft. They were all healthy at the time.

Cole went down like a day or two after the draft. :smith:
