I'm on the verge of dropping him. Not even so much about his repeatedly elbow injuries now, but because the Giants will never be in a position for him to get another save this year.

They're playing much better at the moment and Bum will be back after the all-star break. They're not going to contend or anything, but they can't possibly be as bad as they were in April and May, where literally everyone on the team besides Buster was performing below their career norms.

Raise your hand if Yahoo told you at 1 that JDM was sitting the first game so you benched him for Hamilton to chase steals but then he started anyway and hit a HR

Yeah that was hyperbole I'm just really fed up with Melancon's poo poo about now.

Kela's the obvious choice, but he's dealing with a shoulder issue right now and I do think they'll go with a closer by committee for at least a little bit.

I almost did, but then I realized that if he was sitting the first game, he was probably playing in the second one anyway and kept him in.

Playoffs are no big deal,
don't have a crap attack.
I hate that I drafted Villar. He's the type of player I tend to avoid on draft day, but it was in the fifth round and his steals looked appealing. I was set to drop him, and then Turner went down. I don't know why I continue to roster him. As I write out this post, I realize I'll drop him tomorrow.

The only guy on my team that is stealing bases is Cameron Maybin. Praise Maybin (even though he's slumping as of late).

It's a problem you think we need to explain ourselves.
Even Brian "Wheels" McCann has a steal on the season. At least Machado stole a couple this year, to go along with that .215 AVG

abelwingnut
Dec 23, 2002


stolen bases are down because some teams realized how little they matter over the long run, especially so when those same teams are telling their hitters to swing for the parking lot. so unless you're a hamilton or deshields or dyson or maybin, who can guarantee like a 85+% success rate, why bother?

It'd be a tough sell, I think. He only has 15 steals on the season, and then you have to roster his .208/.276/.349. He's basically a much worse Billy Hamilton, because at least Hamilton has 34 steals.

It's July, too. However, I did drop Justin Upton in August last year and then he tore up the league, so maybe there is hope for Villar going forward.
