Bullpen Report: August 22, 2022
The 2022 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.
- Notable Workloads: Primary closers or valuable members of a closer committee who have been deemed unavailable or likely unavailable for the current day due to recent workload.
- Injury News
- Outlier Saves: Explanation for a non-closer earning a save during the previous day.
- Committee Clarity: Notes on a closer committee that clarify a pitcher’s standing in the group.
- Losing A Grip: Struggling closers who could be on the hot seat.
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).

: Welcome

| 7:32 |
:
 Here are the FAAB results from the two 15-team Tout Wars mixed leagues.
|
| 7:33 |
: Is Eovaldi a drop at this point. Being skipped next turn. It’s possible he moves to DL on Tuesday. Thanks
|
| 7:34 |
: It comes down to league depth. Even in my 12’s the waiver wire options are sad so I’m holding. Otherwise, move on.
|
| 7:35 |
: Better streaming option: German vs OAK, Lynch vs CWS, or Tommy Henry vs CWS?
|
| 7:35 |
: German IMO

Waiver Wire Report (8/21/22)
Again, not many available starters but plenty of hitters with some decent power hitting the wire.
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 »

Keep, Cut, Start
August 19, 2022
It’s getting late in the fantasy season and endgame strategies are starting to come into play. While it is possible to guide your offense toward specific categories, a greater impact can be made with how you direct your pitching, depending on which categories you are looking to massage, and so that’s where we’ll continue to focus.
