In the article, I cover the players using CBS’s (about 40% or less initial roster rate) and Yahoo’s ADD/DROP rates. Both hosting sites have the option for daily and weekly waiver wire adds. CBS uses a weekly change while Yahoo looks at the last 24 hours. Yahoo is a great snapshot of right now while CBS ensures hot targets from early in the week aren’t missed. The players are ordered for redraft leagues by my rest-of-season preference grouped by starters, relievers, and hitters. Read the rest of this entry »
The 2023 version of the Bullpen Report includes five different sections, as well as the closer chart, which can be found at the bottom of the page.
We will always include a link to the full Closer Depth Chart at the bottom of the Bullpen Report each day. It’s also accessible from the RosterResource drop-down menu and from any RosterResource page. Please let us know what you think.
The “RosterResource” link will take you to the corresponding team’s RosterResource depth chart, which will give you a better picture of the full bullpen and results of the previous six days (pitch count, save, hold, win, loss, blown save).

Daily SP Chart archive
The chart includes their season performance, their opponent’s wOBA versus the pitcher’s handedness over the last 30 days, my general start/sit recommendation for 10-team, 12-team, and 15-team (or more) leagues, and then a note about them. Obviously, there are league sizes beyond those three so it’s essentially a shallow, medium, deep. If a pitcher only has an “x” in 15-team, it doesn’t mean there’s no potential use in 10s and 12s, but it’s basically a risky stream for those spots.
These are general recommendations, and your league situation will carry more weight whether you are protecting ratios or chasing counting numbers. This is for standard 5×5 roto leagues. The thresholds for H2H starts are generally lower, especially in points leagues so I thought there would be more value focusing on roto.
No comments today, but I’ll answer the comments throughout the day if you want further discussion on anyone.

• An article by The Athletic covers a breakout player on every team. Give the entire piece a read-through since I can’t highlight all the comments.
• Korea’s Jung-hoo Lee 이정후 is expected to sign with a major league club this offseason.
Kim and Jung-hoo Lee, who is expected to be posted by the Heroes this offseason, belong to a different group of players.
…
It remains to be seen whether Kim stays an outlier or represents the beginning of a new pipeline. Lee, his close friend and the 2022 KBO MVP, could be next, and Kim has spoken openly about his interest in a reunion. San Diego, not coincidentally, is viewed as a strong candidate to sign the outfielder.

Sorry for missing yesterday’s chart. Fell asleep on the couch watching games and had zero energy when I woke up and transferred to bed.
