Of course ReyLo got moved… just assume that will happen 95% of the time at this point!
Thanks for coming out!

: How’s it going, y’all? Thanks for coming out! |

: even his sprint speed is down (or is that just crappier contact => less reason to run fast?) |
| 1:03 |
: Yeah, I’m not too worried about the speed. I definitely think if he were healthy and hitting like expected, we’d be seeing the 2Bs and 3Bs w/his blazing speed |
| 1:03 |
: Do I give up on Corbin Carroll and try to trade him for a 3rd/4th rounder? |
| 1:04 |
: You can. As long as you’ll be comfortable if he rebounds. Just got weigh the two and decide how you’ll feel. |
| 1:04 |
: Cubs had 6 years to fix Estrada. Padres get in done in 4 months? What is with that? |
Taking a partial holiday in that I skipped out on comments tonight so I can head back to the couch to enjoy HOU/SEA plus the hockey and basketball games going on. As always, I’ll gladly answer questions in the comments section if you want to know more about anyone. Heavy stud slate definitely makes it easier to skip doing the commentary, too!

It’s a pretty straightforward board on Thursday. Be careful with the landmines out there, even the 1-x recos but also guys like Waldron, Black, and Smith-Shawver who have moderately intriguing matchups. I just don’t trust them in any of those road setups. If you want to discuss anyone further, drop a comment and I’ll get to ’em throughout Thursday!

I wanted to see what kind of pitching has been available on the wire this year so I took a quick look. I used the NFBC’s Rotowire Online Championship which is a 12-team setup with 9 pitcher slots in the starting lineup and just 7 reserves, no IL or minor leaguers. I took the pitchers who were picked up in at least 25% of the 228 leagues in the contest, so 57 or more leagues. From there, I just calculated their results from the time they were picked up through May 21st. I realize that’s not perfect because some guys have definitely been cut so many teams might’ve missed some of the ugliness.
Just a note that the date listed in the chart is the Sunday they were picked up so the data starts the day after which is definitely worth noting because several of these guys threw gems on that Sunday which no doubt raised their bid price that night. Also there are some guys listed twice and that’s not an error, they had more than one period where they met the 57-league threshold. Obviously in comparison to last year’s non-stop rush of pitching prospects who came up and succeeded, this feels light, but even compared to a standard year it feels like we aren’t getting much. Streaming is no doubt a grind in 15-teamers right now and it feels like that is trickling down to 12-teamers, too.
