Today’s Roto Riteup aims to bring the good news to your doorstep without making you feel totally uncomfortable.
On today’s agenda:
1. Good news for Manny Machado
2. Matt Holliday sits out again
3. Some streaming options for today
The Reds are a playoff team with a pretty good outfield, but one man is lurking in the background, preparing to steal all your bags, and possibly your heart. The Reds have some decisions to make this offseason, and one question facing them is “what the heck do we do with Billy Hamilton?” In celebration of Hamilton’s spectacular and otherworldly speed, the present offer sought to present some possible outcomes to the most handsome reader.
What you will find below is a possible fantasy line for Hamilton, listed in the following format: AB/HR/R/RBI/SB/AVG. After each line is presented for your viewing pleasure, two numbers follow. The first is the value of that fantasy line in standard mixed leagues, and the second is the value of such a line in NL-only leagues, both of which are calculated by the intrepid author’s own special spreadsheet derived from 2013 Steamer player environment. While fantasy drafts deal in whole dollars, cents are presented to show the differences before rounding.
Today’s Roto Riteup celebrates readers in the championship matchup of the 2013 season. I myself have a team in the finals this week, and I’m hoping Adam Wainwright’s two scheduled starts lift me to a title.
On today’s agenda:
1. Miguel Cabrera’s groin ain’t good
2. Shin-Soo Choo to return tonight
3. Jacoby Ellsbury back Wednesday or Thursday
4. Some thoughts on A.J. Burnett
5. Joe Mauer progressing
Welcome to a special edition of the Friday Roto Riteup. “Why is it special,” you ask? Well, esteemed colleague Professor Pony is out being nerdy this morning, so you get me instead!
On today’s agenda:
1. Felix Hernandez to start Sunday
2. Jered Weaver gets scratched from today’s start
3. Clay Buchholz pushed up to Saturday
4. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
In a surprise twist, “Fun with Arbitrary Endpoints” has been put off until Friday’s edition of the Roto Riteup due to a glut of roto relevant information today.
On today’s agenda:
1. Hanley Ramirez day-to-day
2. Jason Heyward takes BP
3. Yonder Alonso likely out for the year
4. Tim Beckham called up
5. Jose Abreu granted residency in Haiti
Today’s Roto Riteup chooses to ignore the fact that David Wiers did not proclaim the absolute virtue of King Felix Hernandez when given the opportunity yesterday.
On today’s agenda:
1. No surgery for Matt Harvey
2. Clayton Kershaw to get some added rest
3. Edwin Encarnacion and Brett Cecil are done for the season
4. Starling Marte is back
Today’s Roto Riteup is sponsored by tonight’s sub-par Monday Night Football offering. Instead of watching the Bengals beat up on the old Steelers, why not partake in a baseball game on your television?
On today’s agenda:
1. Johnny Cueto returns to the mound today
2. Jake Odorizzi to come up this week
3. Stephen Strasburg should make a start this week
4. Cory Luebke shuts down rehab
The present author would like to apologize to the readership for the lack of a Roto Riteup yesterday. Unfortunately there is no grand story of woe or excessive partying; instead, the author fell asleep in front of the television watching old shows on Netflix.
On today’s agenda:
1. Bryce Harper returns
2. Paul Maholm, Alex Wood both scratched
3. Derek Jeter to DL, season over
4. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
Today’s Roto Riteup was written after the author slept through most of the 4th quarter of the Seahawks game.
On today’s agenda:
1. Bryce Harper out with hip injury
2. Derek Jeter to rest sore ankle
3. Clay Buchholz to start tomorrow
Since last week’s “Fun with arbitrary endpoints” was dark and gloomy, today’s Roto Riteup features a much more cheery edition.
On today’s agenda:
1. Hyun-Jin Ryu to miss Friday’s start
2. Kameron Loe started, and it was awesome
3. Kris Medlen hot for the playoff run
4. Fun with arbitrary endpoints
