I'm confused, is it the (lack of) strikeouts? Because before last year he wasn't really a great pitcher.

I (and likely others) thought moving to the SOX would mean a continuation of that with Wins. Small Sample size but as of this post he's not having a good day in BAL and I am underwhelmed with him so far.

I have Machado, Chris Davis and Caleb Joseph. The 4 runs, 2 hr, 6 rbi (so far) balance out starting Samardzija I guess.

What do you do with slumping players in roto leagues with games played limits? I took Jimmy Rollins not expecting much in AVG, but with respectable counting stats (for the position) and he's not cutting it . Same with Chris Carter who seems to be coming around somewhat. I've been starting Rollins every night hoping something will come of it, but no go. If I can make room on my team, should I just pick up whoever has been hot over the past couple weeks and plug them in? That whole past results don't guarantee future performance thing...

I don't even know how to bring a team back from last place ruin, when my players are a collective 0-17 with 6 K's to start the day  EDIT: 0-19 8 K's JosefStalinator fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Apr 29, 2015 |

Moneyball posted:What do you do with slumping players in roto leagues with games played limits? The way I feel about it, is you have to be committed to the bit or it doesn't work. The problem with the Chris Carters of the world, is that if you're not fully committed to gluing their fat asses to your roster and saying, "I'll eat the AVG in exchange for 25 HR", then you start trying to guess, and start trying to stream for home runs. I don't think you can stream home runs. If you only miss 5 homers all year with that strategy and 15 RBI, you have just killed his fantasy value, because his batting average was higher than his season total in those games. You just accidentally turned a .225/25HR/80RBI guy into a .215/20HR/65RBI guy. I think you either stick with the strategy, or cut your losses.

ChiTownEddie posted:What are thoughts on Jayson Werth? Thoughts: Werth is one of the best hitters in baseball, although yes a fair bit of his value comes from walks, and he hits in the middle of a great lineup. Pick him up ASAP and don't read too much into a bad two weeks after missing spring training.

Kimbrel What is it with putting closers in non-save situations that makes them implode? I guess I understand the idea that many athletes are superstitious creatures of habit, and that going in to a game in a different scenario than protecting a lead affects them, but how can it be so drastic? And maybe I notice it more when it happens than when it doesn't, but it sure seems like more often than not, a non-save situation will end badly.

Trade Hanley for Rendon? One more year after this in a keep-4 keeper league, figuring Hanley loses his SS eligibility next year. I've got Kendrick at 2B and would have to scrape a bare WW to fill in for Hanley at short. Definitely competitive this year.

I wouldn't trade Hanley, who is absolutely raking in a stacked lineup, for a guy on the DL with murky return status. Unless Hanley gets hurt, he will have the same or better trade value later on in the season as he does today, so you can always trade him later if you are out of contention.

i would shop hanley to managers with 1st or 2nd rounders that are slumping or not too badly injured. edwin, bautista, and puig would be good gets, i think.

Doltos posted:Sometimes it feels like pitching is a total crapshoot The meaning behind the strategy of draft a gently caress you offense and worry about pitching later is built on this reasoning. Pitcher performance is far less sticky compared to hitter performance when evaluating year to year data.

We all know that guy who thinks he's the smartest one in the room. Let's say you went SP for your first four picks then top closers because you wanted to "lock up" the pitching categories, and went with Kershaw, Bumgarner, Strasburg, Kluber, then Kimbrel and Holland. You'd have: IP: 133.1 W/L: 4 - 9 SV: 10 K: 141 ERA: 4.05 WHIP: 1.30 It's a very cherry-picked, but very possible outcome. Then factor in the likelihood of a poor offense, and you have someone dead last. Of course I could do something similar with top hitters, but I don't think that is as drastic.

Were Kimbrel and Holland generally going that high? I generally don't draft closers that early so I didn't even notice when they went in my non-keeper snakes.

would you trade Corey Kluber and Alex Cobb for Tulo in a H2H league? been mulling around a potential offer for them. my other starters are shoemaker, volquez, quintana, gerritt cole, alfredo simon, julio teheran. I could always just pick up JA Happ.

Kimbrel, Holland, and Chapman generally went 50 to 65. I can't judge too harshly because I have them in most leagues, but I generally drafted bats, closers, bats, and middle relievers. Moneyball fucked around with this message at 14:26 on Apr 30, 2015 |

I had to cut Eric Hosmer due to some injuries, some guy picked him up and then immediately offered him to me for James Shields. no That being said I'd like to trade Shields. He has Chris Davis (3B eligible), Dee Gordon, Zimmermann, and Brantley that are interesting to me. Any deals of interest there? 2B and 3B have been rough (Rendon's injury and Beltre) for me so far, have lots of SP. H2H points.

Do you guys know where I can find hard hit baseball statistics. Chase Utley is an abomination. Except for the fact that his K%, BB%, Contact rates...are all normal!! I cannot figure out if he is literally just starting super hilariously unlucky with his 100BABIP, or if he is tapping the ball into easy plays every single time.
